Horses and mules are known by all

A good story Of this power In the

q very circuitous course, which they de-
pended on . civil engineer to enable
them to retract, should they zee any

cided to return to the home camp by the
must direct route, the engineer, after
calculating attitudes and departures,
pointed out what he believed to be tho
correct direction along which they must
proceed TO reach the desired point.
When night overlook them they found
that they were not at the home camp,
as they expected to be, though the en-
Rineer assured them that they were not
far away from the desired point. al
though he was quite unable to say Ia
which direction It was best to turn.
At this stage Of their sxanderangs the

Nssvu Paying Teller.
There is . well-known Insurance
man in Chicago who receives . salary
OF $4,000 year and never sclicits. He
got his position in peculiar way. He
was paying teller in a bank on salary
CT 5000 year. One day he went be.

for an. increase Of pay. They declinss;
to make it. They thought $4,000 sum.
cient.
''Gentlemen. have . very response
bic position and handle great deal of
money. do not think my salary sutfi-
eient. I must insist on having more. :"
He did not get it and returned to his
desk dissatisfied. One of the large in
surance companies in Chicago had Civ
en- the bank ten days notice that it
would draw out $3O0, 600, and the CASH
Ter made every arrangement tor it. In
due time the check was presented.
The paying teller refused to honor
the check and went to the cashier.
"They want that $3O0,0OO," he said; /;
what are you going to do about it?"
"Pay it, of course" said the cashier.
"You have the money"
"Yes, l have the money, but doE't
propose to pay it."
"What do you mean, sir?" the cash.
Ter exclaimed. ut il your businesss

agree with them. 1t is true that have

have not been treated right, and
must take this course to get my dc
serts."
A long argument followed. which
was referred to the board Of directors
which was hastily called together. The
TELLER was ordered before their majcs-
ties. He admitted all that the cashier
had said of him, and added:
Gentlemen. / am serious. I have
the $3O0, 900 safe. You may do what
you please. If you take the matter te

He was hard customer to deal with
and they quickly agreed that If hi
would return the $300, 900 aud pay the
check they would do as he wished

him in every possible way, and guar

the insurance company, said:

thin, soft iron is suspended so as to pass
freely between the ends of the two mag
nets. The cord supporting the soft iron
passes over pulley and is attached to the
end of magnet "B.''
Without the presence of the soft iron
the poles of the two magnets exercise at
traction, and the magnet "B" is held in a
horizontal position. When, however, the
piece of soft iron drops in between the
magnets the attraction is immediately
changed to repulsion, and the end of mag
net "B, " which is free to move, is forced
downward. The piece Of soft iron is con-
nected by the supporting cord in such
manner that, when the end of magnet
"B" drops, it raises tie soft iron and
thereby permits attraction, causing the
end of "B' to then rise: but, in so doing,
it drops the soft iron, the presence OF
which causes repulsion. A series of alter
nate attractions and repulsions is thus
produced, communicating to magnet 'B'
motion of rapid oscillation.
To make practical application of this
phenomenon to the production of light a
machine is constructed, as shown in dia-
gram B.
The magnet "a" is rigidly attached to a
support, and magnet ''B" piyoted on a
horizontal AXIS, SO that it's poles are free
to revolve in vertical circle in front OF
the poles of magnet "a" The strip OF
soft iron is suspended from an eccentric
that is driven by means OF q cord which
passes around pulley fixed to the spindle
of magnet "B."
Once started magnet "B" must revolve,
and at each revolution it changes the mag
netic intensity of magnet "a" A spool
or helix OF insulated wire surrounds each
pole of magnet "a" and this wire is
charged by current of electricity gener-
ated in precisely the same manner as is
the current created by our present form OF
dynamo. 1t is, in fact, the same kind OF
current, and it may be taken from the
spools and conveyed away and used, as is
