The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-07-06

brought ball bearings into general notice
and showing the striking decrease of fric-
ton when sliding friction is converted into
rolling friction. All of the wearing sur
faces of the pillow are sliding FRACTIONAL sur
faces, and the loss of power occasoned by
friction of sticky earth upon the plows of
this broad domain of ours in past computa-
ton. The plows of the day are rigid and
inadjustable in form. In sandy or in loose
and light soils, and in lumpy or clayey
soils, in shallow or in deep blowing, in
blowing at slow or at fast speed no adjust
ment or change of form can he made to suit
the special conditions of the work, yet
these different conditions are often found
in one plantation, and the pillow should
be capable of being modified to suit these
conditions.
If a perpendicular line is drawn from
the point OF attachment Of the harness tug
and hame to the ground, and another line
from the same point to the center of work
in the mouldboard of the pillow, and hori
zontal line connecting the center of work
with the perpendicular line, then the
hypothenuse of the triangle thus formed
represents the total tractive effort, the hori-
zontal line, or base of the triangle, repre-
sents the useful tractive effect, and the per-
pendicular line represents the part of the
traction which is expended in pulling the
horse down upon the ground. In some
cases one third of the tractive efforts of the
horse is expended in increasing the pressure
of the horses feet upon the ground instead
of in advancing the pillow.
In a ii inch pillow the earth is elevated
say IA inches, carried sideways IA inches
and deposited, inverted, in the preceding
furrow 1t is easy to see that each inch of
unnecessary elevation represents great
amount of unnecessary labor during the
lifetime of a pillow, and that the carrying of
all the surface soil sideways to the preced-
ing furrow represents great aggregate
travel d soil; that is, effort in blowing
large fields.
The share of the plow, like the fluke OF a
ships anchor, is shaped so as to draw down
into the soil. The line of traction, from
the center of the mouldboard to the center
of the horse collar, tends to draw the plow
out of the ground. The pillow advances
horizontally as sort Of compromise be-
tween these divergent lines, and there
clearly results loss of power occasioned
by the line draught being in one plane
while the line Of traction is in another
plane.
When the total weight of all the surface
soil which is elevated, and also carried
sideways, in blowing all the cultivated
area of this country is calculated, it is
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-07-06

clearly seen that the agriculturists of the
country waste each year, in incidental but
not in useful work. in excessive sliding
friction, in direct lines of traction, is I'M
necessary resistances caused by imperfect
forms, and by inadjustabilty of form of
the plow, greater amount of labor than
was wasted by the builder of the great
Pyramid in Egypt, OF in the building of
the Chinese Wall. If all the soil thus re-
moved were transported to the aggregate
distance which it is transported and ele.
waited to the aggregate height which it is
elevated, in one heap no one would dare
to attempt the removal of the heap with no
better implement than the pillow.
Although 10, 122 patents have been
granted on the plow, in this country alone,
it still offers IA promising field for future
inventors. The killing strain on the mus
Giles of horses in starring street cars was not
fully considered until the electric motor
took the place of horses in street car work;
then it was found that it required three
times as powerful motor to start a car as
to run it after it was started. The loss of
power in vehicles by sliding friction was
understood until the bicycle, propelled by
human muscle, showed the utility of con-
verting sliding into rolling friction by ball
bearings, and the labor wasted in dragging
the pillow will never, herhaps, be rightly
considered unless inventors themselves
drag the pillow, and inquire into the reasons
and causes of the excessive effort required
by this ancient and indispensable nipple
ment upon which all civilization depends.
The horse and the mule cannot complain,
and so the pillow remains the pillow, i'm
proved in material and in workmanship,
but retaining many of the faults of the
pillow of our remote ancestors.
1t would seem that agrculturists have to
observe the working of the implement,
they use, to notice errors of construction
to study the conditions, and should have
ability to suggest means of improvement
Singularly, very few cases are known
where agriculturalists have invented OF
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1895-07-06

improved their implements More singu-
larly, very few radical inventions or new
departures have been made by men in their
own lines OF work. The machinist instinc
lively Judges Il suggested improvement in
mechanics by what he has seen. The law
yer naturally tests innovations by past
decisions. The physician unavoidably
refers to his reading or practice for approval
or condemnation of anything new in his
line, The agriculturst can but seldom
divest himself of preconceved notions.
Morse, the inventor OF the telegraph, was
not an electrician; Watts, the inventor of
the steam engine, was not machinist
The list may be extended indefinitely. To
make new departure, radical invention,
seems to require an ingenious man, I'M
trammeled, open to new ideas and APP
preaching a subject from a new side. Ask
an agriculturist how a pillow may be i'm
proved, and instinctively his mind will
picture crooked thing of steel and wood,
which is essentially what he has seen.
There are few of us who are not mentally
hide bound, fewer still who do not travel
in mental ruts. There are very few who
do not inherit religions, or absorb politics
from newspapers, or form associates or their
ideas from those they admire, or their
mechanical opinions from what they have
seen, or read, or heard of.
The inventor who will furnish superior
substitute for the pillow will probably not
be plowman. He will almost surely be
poor, for rich men cannot invent. When an
inventor becomes rich, which happens but
rarely, his attempts at further invention
are passing queer. He will meet oppos-
sion. Others will develop his invention
and reap the reward, and long after he is
dead a statute will be raised to his memory
and his name will appear in the list of
benefactors of the race, though but few of
the millions benefited by his work will
know of him or his work, or will care to
know.
IL the statesmen of the present time,
trained as they are in the acute political
methods OF the times, should initiate Jeffer-
son and Webster, their illustrious prede-
cessors, their names might 90 down to dis
tant posterity in the list of those benefac-
tors Of the world-the "Improvers OF the

THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

An extraordinary circumstance that has
been noticed with interest, and that always
creates surprise when first learned, is the
entire absence of foreign matter in the
deeper part of the oceans floor. Of all the
vessels lost in midocean, of all the human
beings that have been drowned, of all the
marine animals that have persisted, of all
the clay, sand and gravel let fall by dis
solving icebergs of all the various SUBJ
stances drifted from every shore by shifting
currents-not trace remains, but in their
place water from 1000 to $500 fathOms in
depth covers the uniform deposit OF thick
BLUSH tenacious slime. called globigerina
ooze.
A bit of this under powerful lens is a
revelation of beauty not readily forgotten.
The ooze is composed almost entirely of
the dantest, most deicately beautiful
shells imaginable. At the depths greater
than $500 fathoms, the bottom of the sea
consists mainly of products arising from
exposure for almost incalculabe periods to
the chemical action of sea water, of pumice
and other volcanic matters. This finally
results in the formation of the red clay
deposits that are considered characteristic
OF the profoundest depths of the ocean.
Carbonate of lime, which, in the form of
the shells of fotaminifera makes up so large
part of the globigerina ooze, is here
almost entirely absent. Sea water is very
nearly universal solvent and before any
shell, large or small, reaches the bottom of
these tremendous abysms, it is chemically
eaten up literally dissoved-a result
which the enormous pressure of the water
must materially hasten.
At 200 fathoms the weight of the water
pressing on all sides of an object immersed
to that depth is very nearly one ton to the
square inch, or more than 100 times that
sustained at the sea level; and at the
greatest depths the pressure is so increased
that it would seem nothing could with
stand it; in fact, heavy metal cylinders let
down with the sounding apparatus are

the surface, found bent and Collapsed;

The steel and wrought iron pillow was not
inverted until 1905. In 17SS, Thomas
.jc!Gr ST IL improved the pillow by showing
its prop principles of construction, and in
lo36 and 1887 Daniel Webster expert
mented in pillow manufacture, and said that
none OF his successes in public life had
given him so much pleasure as seeing the
improved pillow of his own construction,
drawn by six yoke of oxen of his own rails
ing, cut broad and deep burrows through
brush and saplings. In 1915, Governor
Holbrook invented method of shaping
pillow mouldboards symmetrically, either
convex or concave.
All OF the improvements which have been
made in the pillow, from the earliest agri
culture until now, are simply notifications
of the original idea; wedge drawn
through the soil, pulverizing and displac-
ing it. No other method has been found.
The faults of the pillow are serious ones.

THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE.

Nj. Barthelemy Saint Hilare, the famous
French scholar and politician, who recently
entered on his Goth year full of physical
and intellectual vigor has been telling the
inevitable interviewer how it is his DAYS
have been so long in the land. 1t is we
are told, the effect of strict adherence to
to the old precept early to bed and early
to rise, with with steady work during
waking hours. Every grand old man
seems to have a secret of his own. Mr..
Gladstone, we believe, attributes his lonpe-
witty to his habit of taking daily walk in
all weather, and to his giving thirtv-two
bites to every morse of food. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes pinned his faith on eauabilitv
of Temperance. The late Major Knox Hol-
mes swore by the tricycle., which in the
end, was the cause of his death DIR p. H.
Tan der Weyde an American octogenarian,
not long offered himself "as an example
of the benign infuance of the study and
practice of music" Some aged persons
give the credit of their long lives to absti
hence from tobacco, alcohol, meat, or what
not; Others to their indulgence in all these
things. One old lady of whom we read
not long ago as having reached the age of
100 or thereabout, maintained that single
blessedness is the real elihir viter, and she
ascribed the death of brother at the ten
der age of 80 to the fact that he had COM
mitted matrimony in early life. NJ Ferdi-
nand de Lesseps believed in horse riding.
Mr.. James Payn complains that in his bow
hood he got a little bored with too
much horse The Grand Francois seemed
to think that one can hardly have "too
much horse. In letter recently pub
lished, NJ. De Lesseps delivered himself on
the subject as follows 81 shall always

master, who from my earliest years made
me share his keen passion for horses, and l

drop down on your back, pulling the canvas over your head having lookout holes in it; then watch and wait. Your guns must be where you can get them easily. The geese will never pass the decoys without first coming down and taking a look alt them, unless frightened by something. When your game comes close throw the canvas aside, get up quick, and give 1t to them just as they swerve from your direction. Sometimes you will get In two shots without aris- ing at all. The decoys are not neces- sity, but they are great help; even the artificial ones are much better than none at all.

Grand Opera House.

Look out for the great array of stel- lar talent that comes to the Grand the first three days next week, when the big city show, the New York Stars, make their appearance. Stars of all kinds are to be seen, tumblers, aero bats, contortionists, gymnasts, vaulters, magicians, jugglers, clowns and all the elements that go to make star show of the first magnitude. Even the dog star will be there with his circus. Among the canine artists that will ex- cite the curiosity of the sightseers VIII be "Wheeler," the high leap dog, ana Dick" the long leaper. There IS a standing challenge of $100OO to produce their equal. Be on the alert and secure your seats in advance and avoid the crowd, No advance in prices to see this great show, as usual admission is 10, 20 and 30 cents.
 'oThe Police Patrol" had large house last night at the Grand opera house The audience was enthusiastic and loud ly anplauded the various lits in the drama, especially the dash along of the patrol wagon and the real horses. The story of "The Police Patrol" a melo- drama SO constructed that couple oi spirited horses hitched to patrol wag- on can start on the stage occasionally with entire consistency, is founded on the Shell murder, which was the talk of the country few years ago. Snei was Chicago millionaire. Tascott, his supposed murderer is still at large, The play drifts away from the facts sur rounding the Shell case, so as to make the story all the more thrilling and full of incident "The Police Patrol" will be given at the matinee to-day ant again in the evening.
