A Vanishing II Ca anon.

A remarkable invention is the Gro
Ner disappearing carriage and gun.
Capt. CroZier is stationed at the Hook.
His latest-a 1O-inch gun is now being
tested there. The underlying principle
of the mechanism is founded upon the
geometric theories that, if a right line
move so that two Of it's points remain
upon two other lines, making an angle
with each other, the: extremity or any
other point of the moving line will de-
scribe an ellipse' The trunnnions Of
the gun are mounted at the ends of two
levers, which in turn are mounted at
heir centers on two hydraulic buffing
cylinders, which are placed one on each
side of the top of the carriage. The
pther ends of these levers carry the
counterweight, d mass of metal weigh
ing $1,000 pounds, placed in the center
of the carriage, carrying with them the
trunnions OF the supporting: levers and
raising the counterWeight, which Is
held in it's elevated position by a.ssys-
tenn of paWls and ratchets.
!: When the counterweight is released
1t throws the rear, ends of the gun-bear-
ing levers forward and upward The

over their stationary pistons to the
front end of the carriage. At the same
time the breech end OF the gun is car
ried up by steel arms, whose upper,
ends are pivoted to the gun; and whose
lower ends are pivoted to sliding blocks
which move in circular grooves. and

A Window Sash Device.
A novelty in electrical appliances is
window-sash operating DECEIVE. It con-
sists of switch having two keys. one
of which operates the upper sash, while
the other controls the lower part of the
window. By turning the keys to the
right the sashes are raised, and they
are lowered by movement in the oppo-
site direction. The device is adaptable
to any window, but little preparation
being needed. and the remodeling of
the frame being unnecessary. In one
particular respect it is great conven-
ience-on the approach Of storm all
the windows Of the house can be in
stantly closed without a visit to each
window being entailed. This is not
only good feature in it's use for
schools, halls, public and Office build
ings, but it makes the invention spec
tally applicable to churches, as the min
lister can have his pulpit provided with
a switch board, and whenever he finds
the atmosphere of the church too op-
pressive he can let in a supply Of fresh
air from one or a dozen windows. II
need be, however, the church can be
made self-regulating; simple device
can be placed in circuit with the win
dow mechanism which will automatical-
ly open or close the upper sash accord
ing to the temperature Of the building.
~ A New Night Industry.
When the arc lights first came into
general use in American cities, it was
remarked that large number of moths
and other insects were lured to the vi
cinitY OF the light by the brightness of
it's rays, and many Of these found their
way into the glass globe, which encased
the lamp. EntOmologists soon realized
that n new means of enriching their.
collections of insects was close to their
hand, and many rare specimens We're
secured through the friendly offices of
the lineman who trimmed the lamps
daily The introduction of the are light
for European street lighting has been
greatly retarded but now that it is eff
fccted the fascination Of the light for
night insects is abundantly Illustrated
In many parts of Europe this phenome-
non has beez turned into source Of
revenue At Carlsbad the moth collec-
tors are in force nightly around the
arc lamps IN the streets of the town,
provided with butterfly nets, and those
who make business of procuring speed
mems of rare insects for sale are doing
a thriving business. One and even two.

The Tesla OscfIlator.


Tesla's latest invention, the "oscilla-
tor" Is one Of the most remarkable ap
pliances Of the age. It is aptly describ-
ed as being the core of steam engine
and the core Of a dynamo, combined
and given a harmonious mechanical ad-
justment This combination constitutes
a machine which has in it the poten-
tiality of reducing to the rank OF old
bell metal half the machinery at pres
ent moving on the face Of the globe.
1t may come to do the entire work Of
the engines Of an ocean steamship
within small part of the space they
now occupy, and at fraction Of their
cost both Of construction and operation.
1t will do this work without par or
pounding, and will reduce to a mini
mum the risk Of arrangement or break
age. There is nothing in the whole
range Of mechanical construction from
railway locomotives to stamp mills,
which such an invention may net revo-
lutionize
The essential characteristic Of the
machine is the application Of the pres

energy of the vibration is converted
into electricity. The extra ordinary re-
suit is that practically IAN absolutely

Obtainable in the most costly expansion
engine using a similar amount of steam.
Besides saving in mechanical friction

Of the engine, the Is per cent Of loss

wasted in the dynamo, making altegeth-z
er an addition of go per cent to the
available energy obtained from the
steam for the purpose of producing cleo
ricity. it is simpler, smaller and light
er. than the mechanism it is destined
to replace, absolutely constant in its
action, automatically regulated, and
subject to the least possible amount Of
wear and tear. The utilization Of this
machine in any branch Of industry
would result in an appreciable lowering
in the cost Of production, and it is quite
possible that it's first general employ
ment may be in electric lighting. In
the face of this marvellous invention,
recent statement of Tesla seems hard
ly no longer visionary. The young
Montenegrin said: II expect 70 live to
