mind" and matter are but distinctions s
with out difference.
The apparatus of DIR. Clarke consists of
an induction coil capable of producing an
exceedingly high-tension current. The
wires carrying the induction, or secondary
current are connected by one terminal to
metal plate held in position at the base
of the brain, and the other terminal. by
means of branching wires, to three metal
plates placed one over the center of the
frontal bone and the other two placed on
opposite sides of the forehead, as shown
In the cut A sensitive Photographic plate
is placed between two sheets OF silver foil
and inclosed in a plate holder, the wire of
the secondary circuit being led in through
the sides of the plate holder so that It's ends
touch the silver foil on each side of the
sensitized plate. The apparatus is ad-
iusted upon the head of the subject, and
all electrical connections made before the
primary current is turned on. An ex-
posure of few seconds is sufficient. It is
found that all subjects are not good sub
jects. Another pecuiarity of the process
points to the fact that terrestrial magnet
ism is in some way connected with the
phenomenon. The sensitive plate must
be placed at right angles to the line of ter
restrial magnetic declination at the place
of operation. The experiment succeeds
best during dry weather; the presence of
moisture in the atmosphere exerts de-
terrent influence.
Naturally enough whenever an an
nouncement like that now made is laid
before the public there will be found two
classes of opinion. One will pooh-pooh
the matter and dismiss it from considera-
ton without investigation mainly because
of their inability to comprehend that there

from the theoretical construction of it,
ought to work. The principle made use
of is suction and the method of applying
it is the same as the pneumatic CASH
carriers in use in stores all over the
country.
There are two parts to the machine,
mounted upon separate trucks. One truck
contains an engine and boiler and centri-
fugal airpump driven by same. The other
truck carries the picking machine, which is
connected to the air pump by flexible
tube. The picking machine is nothing more
than a tank closed on all sides and with a
screen extending through section OF it q
few inches from the top. From different
sides of the tank hose pipes are attached

Electric Cloth Pressing.

In pressing wooden fabrics in order to
give them smooth, fine appearance,
both uniform pressure and a uniform
heat are required. By recently devel-
oped system the heating is done electric
ally, the fabric being placed between the
metallic plates through which sufficient
current is passed while under hydraulic
pressure to heat them TO slightly more
than the temperature of boiling water.
One dynamo of fifty volts and 700 amperes
will suffice tor five presses having 12O piles
to be heated; the cost of heating for one
press for period of half an hour and for
seventy plates is about q cents.

mental divide was reached the poles had
to be abandoned and the wires placed
in cable, which was buried In two-ioot
trench for a distance of 1000 feet. The ad-
visibility of abandoning aerial construction
at this point was demonstrated by the ex-
perience of the company that maintains
the Denver and Leadville line. At one
point on that line, Mosquito Pass, the
poles we're originally set seventy feet
apart. AS the wires were covered with
sleet they snapped and the line was use
less Double the number of poles was
used, with the same result. Tie space be-
tween the poles was then reduced to
twenty-five feet, but when the sleet came
the line was swept down fat. Eventually
an underground cable was laid for two and
half miles and there has been no trouble
since.-Denyer Field and Farm.

Electrolvtic Welsbach Mantles.

A new and cheap process for the manu-
facture of the incandescent mantles en-
ployed in the Welsbach burner has been
patented in Germany. 1t consists in max
ing with the nitrates or sulphates of the
earthly metals used the salts of their
bases, thus forming an electrolyte, through
which current is passed into skeleton
of fine-woven n platinum wire. shaped like
q mantle. On this framework the metals
are electrolytically deposited and subse-
quently calcined, after which the plati-
mum skeletons are removed. Nantes
made in this manner are claimed to be
stronger than mantles made in the ordi-
nary way, and further, the cost of manu-
facture according to present methods is
considerable reduced.

Experimenting With Car Wheels.

1t is known that chilled cast iron wheels.
commonly used for freight cars, are liable
to be cracked from the heating of the
tread when long-continued application
of the brake occurs, and several accidents
having occurred on heavy grades owing
to wheel failures, an experiment was sue.
gested The wheels to be tested were
placed horizontally in mold OF sand with
an open space of half inch or so around
the rim. Then molten metal was poured
into this space, heating the rim quite sud.
denly, and of three wheels tried one
cracked in forty seconds, second one in
two minutes, while the third wheel
showed no signs of failure. The latter
wheel was made at the Altoona shops. and
that it stood this test would seem to guar
antee it absolutely from ever giving out
on account of heating by brake friction.
As to the conditions secured in this ex-
pertinent they must be considered to have
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-16

been not reproduction of the conditions
to be investigated but an exaggeration OF
one of them. The heating by contact of
molten metal was more sudden than the
heating by brake friction could be, and in
that respect the exaggeration may have
been preferable rather than otherwise;
while the other conditions which have to
do with the breaking of carwheels in use.
the severe and changing pressures and the
sudden shocks, were entirely absent. Ex-
periments such as these, OF course, have
their value and are to be encouraged, but
they should not be taken to prove too
much.

use OF several well-known lever principles.
The operator sits in the rear of the wagon,
and by pressing his foot on certain
lever causes another lever to rise and en-
gage with sort of cam. This produces
great power. so that the cam shaft is
made to revolve. The power is then COM
municated to the axle of the vehicle by
cogwheels. The idea is that the great
power generated by the cam attachment
viii cause the vehicle to run several feet
by the impetus thus impaired. 1t will be
seen that the driving motion is not a
positive one, and of course the vehicle
would be slow hill-climber, but on
good road it should develop considerable

that have END pieces intended to fit over
the ball of growing cotton.
By setting the centrifugal pump in oper-
alton the air is exhausted from the tank
and of course the air from the outside
rushes in through the hose pipes. 1t then
follows that if the end of sthe hose be
placed over the ball of growing cotton the
fiber will be torn loose and follow the air
into the tank.
The screen across the tank prevents the
cotton from passing into the pump.

Cotton.Picking Machine.

A few years ago committee of scien-
tific men, after conference, decided that
one of the great industrial needs of the
time was cotton-picking machine. They
further declared that there was fortune
in store for the person who would invent
one. There have been numerous attempts
made in that direction, but all have been
failures for some reason.

fcially tested by the Ohio state expert
ment farm expert, gave eighty-one
pounds of milk in twenty-four hours
which yielded 2.29 pounds Of pure but
ter fats, record unapprOached by any of
the six other COWS entered in the test.
The prizes awarded consist of two ele-
CANT silver cups and $50 in cash. This
test is open to all the pure bred COWS in
the state, Jerseys included. Cows from
the BawnhIe Stock Farm have won all
the first prizes in the test no less than
five different years, and now the Well
ington herd can claim with much justice

THE FOUNDING BILL.
Plan Devi.-d by the Joint Committee &"
settle Railway Debts.

washington. April 6.-The sub-com-
mittee of the two houses which has
been considering the Pacific railway re-
funding bin. has practically reached an
agreement The bill which they win ~
port TO their full committee is in all es-
sentiaI particulars the one which WAS
outlined In the Associated Press dis
patches last week The only material
change Is in the annual payment ON prin-
cipal. which is to be increased for the
first ten years so as to make the amount
$1,000 per day. or S365.0Oo instead of
$4,000, as first provided for. The ac-
crued interest is u be funded and count
ed as principal. and the entire debt car
ried at per cent. interest per year. The
annual payment for the second ten years
is 10 be SJO0.OOO, and after that time
$4,000 until the entire debt shall have
been discharged.
This arrangement applies to both the
Union Pacific and the Central Pacific
system, and the Southern Pacific is to
stand good for the Central Pacific debt
The Sioux City and the central branch
are not included in the settlement Ii is
calculated that under this arrangement
ii will require about fifty years for the
Central Pacific to wipe out its govern
ment debt and a somewhat longer time
for the Union Pacific.
