them to respect the institutions or

them to receive with profound dis
trust any proposition which dis

them to turn deaf ear to the noisy

An Electric FIOor-Planer.

Applying the lawn-mower principle
to the making Of planning tool, a
Scotch engineer, Malcolm Sutherland, Of
Dumbarton, has designed the rather
unique piece of apparatus shown in the
annexed sketch, and consisting, in
brief, of an electrically driven revoly-
ing cutter, mounted in frame on roll
ers, which by means of handles, can be
moved about in exactly the same way
and quite as easily, it is claimed, as the
garden tool mentioned. The lawn
mower resemblance in fact, is perfect.
The frame, or rather base plate, is of
steel, and carries the cutter on it's I'M
der side, while the motor is placed on
top and drives the cutter through inter-
vening gear wheels, giving it q speed of
5000 revolutions per minute. The hind
roller of the base plate, which follows
in the cut is fitted with eccentric jour-
nails. so that, by moving a lever, they
can be raised or lowered, and the depth
Of cut nicely adjusted. The principal
field of the machine-the one, in fact,
for which it was specially designed
is the planning of ship decks, taking off
the pitch and inequalities of the seams
of deck plank after being laid and calk-
ed. The work has usually to be done
in circumstances of considerable in
convenience and disagreeableness, the
carpenter having to go down on his
knees, driving jack-plane before him,

4 Brush That saves Lives.


The number of accidents incidental
to the running of trolley and cable cars
have compelled the companies to ex-
pertinent with all sorts of devices to
prevent them. The most unique of all
IS the device proposed by Boston in
yentor. He has taken the large re-
volving brushes from a street sweeper
and placed them in such a position
under the car that a person who
happens to fall in front of the car will
be practically swept from the track.
The brushes are geared to the axle
of the car so that they will revolvc as
the car moves along. Their position is
much the same as that of Il cow-catch-
err, that is, in the shape of II V, with
the point ahead. A person who drops
on the tracks must strike on either
side of the V, which, revolving, would
roll them over and over until they are
outside the line of the wheels. At least,
that is the theory.
Another device to save the haplcSs
pedestrian from death by the trolley car
is Il car fender invented by j. $. Pc
den. Mr.. Peden's invention appears in
two forms, as shown in the illustration.
One is ON the plan of a cow-catcher
for Il locomotive 1t is triangular in
shape and when 1t strikes Il man it
will throw him off to one side, knock
ing him down, of course, but keeping
him away from the grinding wheels.
The other form of the fender or
bumper is supplied with rubber cush-
ion to prevent the instant death of
the person struck, and the fender is so
constructed that it can be let down
and out from under the platform, en-
aiding the person to Chamber into it
out of harms way. The better to do

Steam Road Wagon.

Mass, on four bicycle wheels with rub
Der tires are placed the body and ma
chinery of the wagon. The machinery
consists of a steam boiler of the porcu-
pine eype, built to carry 100 pounds Of
steam to the square inch. Small as it
is, it has % feet of heating surface. A
two-cylinder vertical engine works the
main shaft, the two cranks of which
are set at an angle of 80 with each 9TH
er. so that there shall be no dead point.
The main shaft carries a sprocket
wheel which is connected by chain with
a sprocket wheel on the left-hand rear
wheel of the wagon. AS the engine
runs at a high speed, the sprocket on
the wheel is Of much larger size
than the other, as to reduce the
speed. The total weight of the vehicle
is 437 pounds. The front wheels are
SO inches in diameter, the rear ones AS
inches. They are rubber-tired. Two
pumps are employees; one feeds the
boiler the other drives the air blast
through the naphtha. Under the boiler
are five burners. arranged so that they
can be used singly if desired. Five
gallons of naphtha, enough to carry the
wagon 100 miles. are enough. Steam
can be made in five minutes. A steer
ing wheel is provided in front Of the
seat. The exhaust steam is then pass
ed through a feed water heater, and is
then delivered to the naphtha flame,
where it's presence destroys noise. No
skill is needed in the management of
the wagon, and it can make ten miles
an hour, and climb hills with two pas
sengers.-Scientific American.

Electric Shot-Firing In Mines.

Some very serious accidents have been
caused in mines through the use of in
ferior detonators, and an English min
ing inspector has suggested that gal
vanometer be used for testing each de-
tonator before it is sent into the mine.
Another mining authority goes still fur
Their, and advocates that as defective
fuses are the most abundant sources
of misfires, the fuse should be done
away with altogether, and the electric
battery should take its place. The
suggestion is SO entirely revolutionary
that it is not likely to be readily ac-
cepted by conservative mining proprie-
tors, but there is no question OF It's adj
visibility. The change would never
be regretted,a and it is believed that 1t
would lead to the disappearance of
many of the evils arising from the pres
ent system of shot firing. The move
that has been made in this direction in
America may be the means Of inducing
English mining owners to take similar
steps for the protection of their work
men. On this head an amusing pro-
posal has just been submitted to the
French Academy Of Sciences by an
enthusiastic, if misguided, electrician.
He suggests, in order to escape the dan
ger of explosion in coal mines, that
electricity should be employed for ig-
hitting fire-damp before the miners de-
scend the shaft. This is one Of those
cases in which the remedy is almost
as bad as the disease.
TeIephOning Through Sen Water.
The success that has attended the re-
cent attempts in England to establish
practical system Of telephone COM

ships at distance from each other,
serves to recall the fact that about
two years ago an American inventor,
DIR. Ernest Huber, secured the assist
ance of the United States government
in the project Of series Of expert
ments in deep-sea telephoning. For
some reason the experiments were not
made, but the device promised well.
The sound waves passing through the
water caused metal strips to vibrate,
and the vibrations were transmitted by
wires to microphOneS, which greatly
intensified them. An Indicator showed
the intensity of the sound, and gave
an idea of the distance Of tie object
causing them. The direction whence
the sound came could also be determin-
ed The sounds within the ship were
eliminated. and only eXtraneous noises
were recorded. Sound wares could be
thrown out in all directieas by the
ringing Of an electric bell. End being
reflected indicated icebergs, submerged
wrecks or other distractions even ten
miles away.
