Tricks ON the Teachers.

The other day a pupil in one Of the
public schools asked the teacher to do
a little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed a It first to be a simple
problem has had the serious consider
alton Of all the pedagogues in the com.
munity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in gram.
mar to cover the point raised. The
youngsters proposition was this:
. ut is two miles to Woodfords. Now
please write under that sentence There
are two tWos in the above sentence
That is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing,
and when the teacher tried to follow
his injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned on her that there were
not two twos, neither were there two
tos, and how to express in writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she ascertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego.
ing must be a near relative to the
youth who asked his teacher how 1C
spell Paris green, and when she replied
Par Par, is, Paris, g-r-e-e-n, green
Paris green" retorted:
mo, you're wrong; you can't spei
Paris green, or blue, or any other color
You can't spell it anything but Paris.

About week after his appointment
he was hastily summoned to the Office
and was given an order:
'To John Connors, Master Mechanic
and Superintendent of Maintenance OF
Way: This is to inform you that cul-
vert No. 1853, in section II. one and
one-half 010 miles east Of Effner, has
been destroyed by fire. You will

with the necessary plans and specifl-

There were other directions, butwhen
John Connors had read this far he
folded the letter and put it III his
pocket.
That's what we. call the Wilson

That was Saturday. On Monday
morning the General Superintendent
came to his office at 10 O'Clock, pushed

rotary to order the Special Messenger
to summon the Master Mechanic and

John Connors came to the Office.
"Mr Connors," began the General
Superintendent, 'have you received

A Young Kentuckian's Invention.

Thomas B. Dixon, a broad proved,
intellectual-looking young man from
Henderson, Ky, has accomplished what
nearly all of the great electrical in
ventors and Investigators have failed
to do-deyised a practical sextuplate
system of teIegraphing.
All of the tests, made in the pres
ence CT several experts, were loop
tests. The seXtuplex was worked over
300mile circuit, and, with all sides
in operation, the saunders responded
to the key with marvellous distinctness.
Induction is 50 thoroughly overcome
by Mr.. Dixon's system that the differ
ent sides of the sextuplex worked as
promptly and as clearly as a single
wire.
Allowing this test Of the sextuplex
system, which admits of three mes
sages going each way over the same
wire, another loop circuit was rugged.
This line went from Boston to Buff.
falo and return, aud from Boston to
New Haven and return, distance OF
about 1900 miles. Then the Quadru.
pie feature Of the Dixon system was
tried and the characters came as clean
and clean as the notes of perfect
bell
No qualrupIex system in existence
has ever been known to transmit char.
acters clearly on all sides over such a
distance Of wire without the aid of o
repeater at some intermediate station.
Tests Of the Dixon system have been
made in all kinds Of weather, and both
the quadruplex and the sextuplex,
which are embodied in one, work we'll

or receiver IN good humor.

Novel Use for Tidal Power.

Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization OF the
energy developed by the rise and fall
Of the tides, but the intermittent char
acter Of the power has usually prevent
ed any satisfactory solution Of the
problem. There is, however, one In
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in a very
simple manner. Among the river front
at Liverpool there Is a tendency for
the accumulation of all silt against
the: dock walls, requiring occasional
dredging for its removal. Instead OF
using scoop dredges, this mud is re-
moved at different periods by the use
Of tide power In the following manner:
Along the base of the dock walls Is
laid a pipe, perforated with holes,
directed outward, this pipe being con-
nected with the interior of the dock
system. and suitable valves being pro-
yided to permit or check the flow OF
water. When the tide is very low, and
consequently the head IF water meas
ured from the surface in the docks is
at it's greatest, sudden opening Of the
connection permits a rapid flushing
action Of the water escaping through
holes in the pipe at the base Of the
walls, securing out the mud and driv'
ing it out into the river to be carried
away. AS the tides at Liverpool aver
age about twenty-five feet or more, it
is evident that this simple form Of
dredging apparatus may be very effect
i've, and as the times chosen for using
it may be selected when the supply Of
water is greatest, it does not interfere
with the regular use Of the docks. Ulti-
mately economical forms Of power stor-
age will render the equalization OF tide
power commercially practicable, but
at the present time this example serves
to demonstrate the fact that solar and
lunar attraction, as expressed by the
tides, have been harnessed In a small
way at least-Cassier's Magazine.
