NAVIGATING A COW.
A Cape Cod Ca ptain's Way of kee,,
Her on the Desired Course.

A Cape Cod Captains Way of kee,i.
Her on the Desired Course.
When was down on Cape Cod lac,
summer I heard an amusing story
about an old sea captain and his cow
Capt. Patterson, after sailing the so,
for more than forty years, finally 70.
tired to little farm near Barnstah,o
where he settled down, with n horse
COW, and two or three dozen hens. His
COW, though n lank and rather sinh.
born creature, was said to come from
very good stock, and when the Barn.
stable people took 1t into their heads ,o
have fair Capt. Patterson determined
to exhibit his COW.
But when the day came for driyin,
her to the grounds the COW showed thai
she had mind of her own, and wou,d
not bulge step beyond the gate. In
vain the old captain tugged at the rome
pummelcd her sides, and pushed her
TANKS. The cow wanted to go to pas.
ture, and was bound she wouldn't 90 to
the fair.
Capt. Patterson's patience was very
nearly gone, when suddenly an idea
occurred to him. Though he was not
strong enough himself to force the cow
to go to the fair, his training suggested
something that was. Tying the COW to
the gate-pOst he went up into the loft
of his barn and threw down an old sail
stepped to dory mast. Then he put
horses blanket belt through an iron
ring, strapped the belt around the COW.
inserted the end Of the mast in the ring.
and bound the mast to the side OF the
COW with some fifty feet Of rope.
The wind blew ''Quartering," and
when the captain united the COW and
raised the sail the canvas was swelled
out over the cows back and away she
went sliding down the road, mooing
and lunging, and trying to stop herself
in vain. Capt. Patterson seized her
tail, and using it as rudder. guided
her skillfully in the right direction.
With every fresh puff of wind the oh.
stinate COW would be hurried along
faster. while the dust blew up IN
clouds, and the sail tapped and tugged,
as Capt. Patterson held to the main.
sheet with one hand and the cows tail
with the other.
1t was a hard voyage for both OF
them, but not long one; and when
they came in sight of the fair ground
everybody ran out to see the remark.
able sight of cow being sailed through
the streets like ship. Cheers and
laughter filled the air, and when the
captain finally whirled his COW around
AZ the gate of the fair ground and
bought her neatly up into the wind
tile shout that arose might have beer
heard two miles away.
Unfortunately, Capt. Patterson's COW
did not take one Of the prizes for
b:ooded stock, but the captain himself
was given special prize by the fair
commissioners for "the best device for
getting balky cattle to market. THE

typewriter automatically. What is
called the Delany system is still more
rapid. But all these achievements and
projects are surpassed by plan de-
scribed by Lieut.. George Owen Squicr
of the Third United States artillery
and assistant professor Of physics at
Dartmouth. In some experiments
conducted by Lieutenant Squier, in CO.
operation with Prof. A. c. Crehore at
Fort Monroe. speed of 1900 words
per minute was actually attained. and
the assertion is made that from 5000
to 5000 words minute may be sent
by the same system between points as
far apart as New York and Chicago.
One great novelty about the new
plan is that it utilizes an alternating
current instead of constant one.
Now, if an alternating current be in.
terrupted, and If the interruption &C.
ours at Just the stage of an alteration
which is midway between a positive
and negative wave, there will be no
spark, because the force which was
flowing in one direction subsidies to
zero before it begins to flow in the
other. What Messrs. Squier and Gre
hore propose, then, is to interrupt
their current and restore it at just
such Zero points" in the oscillation as
this. But the sparks will not disap-
pear unless the make" and ''break"
occur at precisely the right instant;
and thus simple and valuable guide
is afforded the operator in adjusting
his apparatus. When he finds that
sparkling has ceased, he knows that his
transmitter interrupts and restores the
flow at the zero stage. and is working
In perfect harmony with the particular
frequency Of alienation employed.
Now, let us suppose that the Morse
alphabet. which is composed of dots
and dashes, is to be tried with this sys-
tenn. In that case break lasting from
the beginning of positive wave until
it's end might stand for the dot, and a
break from the beginning of a positive
wave, but continuing past its subsi
dence through the rise and fall of the

negative wave also, would make /:

dash.
The machine by which messages are
sent with an alternating current, is
very simple. A narrow wheel with a
fiat, narrow periphery Is kept in rota-
ton at rate which is rapid and is
equal to an integer number of cycles
Let us imagine, now, that the wire
carrying the message is cut in two, and
the adjacent ends are provided with
flexible metallic tips, or brushes"
and that these two brushes rest, side
by side, ON the periphery Of the wheel.
Obviously the current will flow from
one brush into the metal Of the wheel,
and thence into the other brush, SO
long as the wheel remains clean. If,
however, little patch of paper or
other insulating material be attached
to the periphery at certain point, ev-
cry time it comes around it will break
the contact between one brush and the
wheel, and thus open the circuit. AS
soon as the patch is past the connec-
ton will be restored.
This, however, was not the exact
plan really pursued. In practice a
long. narrow strip Of paper was kept
in motion by the wheel, just as a belt
Is by a pulley. This strip has been
previously perforated with holes of diff
ferent lengths, long or short, and care
fully spaced. One brush rested on top
of it, and the other pressed upward
against it from below, the two being
removed a short distance from the
wheel, and situated one directly above
the other. So long as the brushes were
separated by the paper strip no cur
rent would flow, but when hole pe:-
mitted one to reach through and touch
the other the current would be restor-
ed. The interruption and RESERVATIONS
of the current always occurred at the
zero stage, between positive and mega
tive waves, SO that no sparkling result
ed after the brushes were once adjust
ed. The wheel p was geared to the
dynamo so as to make one revolution
to every 1874 half-cycles. The perforat-
ed tape is indicated at r. The current
wires are shown at w w, but the
brushes are hidden by the adjustable
support s. An actual speed of 1000
words q minute was secured In this
way, and three or four times that rate
Is said to be entirely feasible.
1t is thought that telegraph com.
pany of the future will fulfill some
what different function from the pres
emit ones. The company win own Its
own wires and rights Of way as now
but the tendency Of the Offices proper
will be to transmit and receive letters
already prepared, rather than to un
| dertaks tt. preparation OF the letter.

Historic Board.

Surrounding the court house in
county seat within a hundred miles OF
Springfield, ILL.,, stood for many years
a plain board fence. Before 1t finally
disappeared to make way for park
improvements it had been rebuilt at
least twice. At each rebuilding, how
ever, particular care was taken to leave
a certain top board in exactly the
position it had occupied before, not
even new nail-hole being made in it.
A stranger, noticing one day this pc
culiarity in the fence, asked an old clti.
zen who was leaning against locust
tree and whiting stick If there was
any explanation.

this way would be an impertinence If 1t

But Crosmont was in no mood to be

Overjoyed at the levity of the charge
which had been so portentousiy heralded.

the lady accompanied by one of reckless
defiance.
