A FRANKLIN INVENTOR.
DR.. Homer Claims to Have Solved the
Secret of Sled Propulsion

Secret of Sled Propulsion.
DIR. H. II. Homer, of Franklin, has re-
Gently been granted patent for ''sled-
propeller" an invention which he claims
has solved the secret of sled locomotion,
and is the forerunner of the horseless
sleigh Wishing to know more of this
remarkable invention, THE AMERICAN
went to the inventor for information.
The subject of $ ed propulsion is one to
which Dr. Homer has given much study
for the past five years, and he believes
now that he has overcome the difficulties
that baked other experimenters on this
same line.
There mas been much experimenting
upon sled propulsion in the past, the
overwheei, or Wheels operating on the
principle Of the sIdeH heels of steam boats,
finding the greatest favor. But DR..
Homer's experiments were on an entirely
different ine-he belle we'd in a screw pro-
peIier instead OF n sdewheeler-and now
he thinks he has succeeded in bringing to
light machine of great utility and
strength. As the title of the invention
any vehicle going on runners comes under
that hend. Attached to the boys coaster,
it " i'll enable him to ride up hill as welt
as down; ON the ice boat, it will drive it
III any direction regard ess Of the wind ;,
and on heavy sleds, driven by Il small
engine, it viii he of great value.
Dir. Homer hluks it may be little pre-
, L., /
elf the horeeless carriage ever comes int o
general use, | am quite certain that my
invention " i'll not he considered still
born for winter use
The invention consists of frames with
runners, and pair ana in some cases two
pairs of rearMardIy arranged screws, ex
tending aud rotating in opposite direc-
tons, so that all side pressure IS elm
mated. These are all driven from Il com
mon shaft; all are made alike, and move
and stop tine SAINT. The tanges of these
screws, When rotated, cut creases III the
ice i'll which they travel, similar to the
common tott in nut The tlanges or
threads OF tine bolt travelling in these
creases, dtnW the bot along if rotated.
This Would be but slow method of loco
motion did not his invention also in
clude principles formerly overlooked
that greatly increase the speed. This
matter OF speed, DIR. Homer says, has
been he hardest problem he has had to
solve.
In closing very interesting descrip-
ton Of bis machine DR.. Homer modestly
said: "Mtn of scientific attainment

myself, claim the ground | have taken is
uhteiable-lhat tue prlHcIpie is wrong.

The most wholesome way OF cooking
potato is to bake it. \ small piece of
the skin should be cut from the ends be-
fore putting the potato in to bake If a
it is likely to become soggy. To avoid
this, when the potato is done fold it in a
napkin and roll the potato between the
palms of the hands until it cracks open.
Treated in that way the potato will be
always mealy.

"While here in attendance upon court,
Col. A. j. Fountains team got out of the
stable and strayed off. There resides in
Lincoln celebrated Mexican character
by the name of Lucas Gallegos, whose
neck, some years ago, might have been
broken by the hangman, but for the elo.
quence of Col. Fountain. This truth is
firmly impressed on Lucas mind, and he
is ever alert to discover an opportunity
to express his gratitude. Leaning that
the colonel had lost his team, he was soon
in the saddle ard out on the trail of
the horses. For two days he rode over
the mountains and across the valleys,
scarcely stopping to eat His only thought
was to find that team, in which he was
successful, and on the evening of the
second day rode proudly into town lead
ing the lost team. We venture the asser
tion that Lucas would not have forgons

TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO,
Office of the Executive,
CA- IN. ~ rF MT 4 1ono

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. l, 1896.
Dear Sir:-I am in receipt Of yeur
favor of the 3Oth ultimo, asking my aid
in preventing the prize fight advertised
to come off in Ell Paso, being brought off
in this territory.
In reply, I desire to say that have no
reason at this time to believe such action
is contemplated on the part of those en-
gagged in such undertaking. I noticed in
a Denver paper few days ago desorip.
tion of the prize fight with the amphi-
theatre as erected in the ring for bull
fighting in the city of Juarez.
With reference to my action, should
the attempt be made to bring off the
fight in this territory, will say to you, as
said to the ministers in Ell Paso: ''There
is no statute law in the territory of New
Mexico upon the subject of prize fight
ing; an effort was made at the last legis-
lature to remedy this matter, and bill
was introduced making it a felony to en-
gage in prize fighting in this territory,
and determined effort made to pass it,
which, however, was unsuccessful" In
the absence of special law we are there
fore compelled to seek for a remedy
under the rules of the common law
adopted in this territory. By the pro-
visions of this law, every person engaged
in prize fighting is guilty of having com
mitted an assault and battery, and can be
arrested and punished for this offense.
have therefore instructed the authorities
in Dona Ana county that it is their duty
to prevent any breach of the peace, or
violation of the law, and if they have the
least intimation of any attempt to bring
off this fight in this territory to arrest
these parties and bind them over to keep
the peace; that they can arrest any
parties engaged in prize fighting, and
have them bound over to the courts for
punishment under the law covering as
sault and battery, or for breach Of the
peace.
think, under this provision, will be
able to prevent the fight, and Icen assure
you that shall DO my very best to en-
force the law as find it. In this in.
stance, as l have attempted to do in all
others since my appointment as the
chief executive Of New Mexico, shall do
everything in my power to see that the
laws of this territory are not violated.
Yours very respectfully,
W. 7. THORNTON.
