Automatic Surveying.

An automatic surveying instrument
has been invented by Schenectady
N. Y. electrician. The device is in
tended to make an automatic record
Of the distance and profile of any road
or path along which a wheel can he
rolled. 1t consists of drum actnated
by worm and worm wheel, receiving
its motion from the crank shaft of
bicycle, upon which the instrument is
supposed to be mounted through a
cord belt. In the interior of the drum
is a screw, turned by the same belt,
through train of gears and friction
disks, when thrown into action by the
change in position of a pendulum. A
nut travels on this screw, to which is
attached the pencil movement used to
record the various movements upon
strip of paper wound from supply
spool upon the revolving drum. The
action is exceedingly simple. A con-
tinuous proportional movement of the
drum results from any movement of
the bicycle and raising or lowering
of the pencil, due to the pendulum,
follows the inclination of the wheel
tread upon any incline. The record
made is continuous line, closely fol-
lowing the changing level of the
ground passed over.

Caught u Thief by Means of q Camera,

Caught n Thief by Means of q Camera
The novel feat of catching chicken
thief by means of a camera was re.
Gently performed by Ralph B. Hyam,
al electrical engineer, who resides in
West Philadelphia. Hyam is greatly
interested in the raising of fine poul-
try, to which he devotes all of his
spare time. Last October thieves
made raid on his stock, although ut
the time large watch dog was kept
in the yard. Hyam decided to apply
his electrical knowledge to the case,
aAd with the aid of an acquaintance,
the sexton of Il nearby church, he
strung the coop with wires, to work
an alarm in the house. Just one week
later the hennery was again looted,
and when Hyam made an investiga-
tnn he founsl that the wires had evil
IDENTITY been cut before the coop was
entered. A steel trap was next set
up with the aid of his friend, the SEX
ton, but again the chicken house was
robbed.
Hyam now set his wits to work, and
finally hit on plan that seemed feas
ible. A snap shot camera was set up
in such way that it was focused
directly on the entrance of the chicken
house. Near by, on saucer, was
placed a charge of h-light powder.
An ingenious arrangement of wires
was then run from battery to the
camera AMI flash powder, and thence
to the door, which, when opened,
would work the camera and ignite the
powder simultaneously. 1t took Hyam
two days to finish the job, for his
friend, the sexton, was then out of
town. One morning next week Hyam
found tina the coop had been broken
open, although the thief had evidently
been scared OF by the flash powder.
Anxious to see how the scheme had
worked heat once developed the plate,
and nearly tainted when the sections
face appeared That individual has
confessed to all the robberies, and has
promised to make restitution to avoid
arrest. Philadelphia Record.

In an old schoolhouse near Rox-

serted by the city, probably because
of the noise from the railrord and
electric cars, there is, according to
the journal of Education, school in
operation, unique in character, and
very useful in its work. 1t is called
the Cottage Place School" To be-
gin with, there is day nursery, where
working women may leave their little
children every day. There is kinder
garten, into which these children pass,
and from which they are passed on
into the public school. There are
sewing classes for girls, and classes
for boys in handwork and regular
studies. A club has been organized
to stimulate interest in historical sub
jects. 1t has reading room and cir
culating library. This school has a
close relation to the public schools,

JOHN BULL.
Dow England Received Her World Fa
mona SObciOuet

mOns SObriquet.
Now that John Bull aud Uncle Sam
are exchanging compliments in such
friendly fashion folk are asking where
our transatlantic cousin got his name,
and very few people can answer the
question. 1t is Of special interest
to note just now that it was inocula-
ted in story of Spanish affairs.
DR.. Jonn Arbuthnot, one Of the
many royal physicians to whom the
Scotch city OF Aberdeen has given
birth, was the author of John Bulls
being. Almost forgotten now by all
but the erudite. who remember him as
the Intimate Of Pope and Swift,
Arbuthnot christened the British ma
tion in bulk as John Bull in the po-
ltical strife incidental to the dismiss
sal OF the Wing ministry of 1910, when
the able and avaricious Marlborough
saw the beginning of the decline OF
his Brilliant fortunes.
"The History of John Bull was a
satire on the political events preced-
ing the treaty Of Utrecht in l713,
written by Arbuthnot. In l704 he had
been created physician extraordinary
to the Queen in recognition of his SER
vices in saving the life of Anne's hus-
band, Prince George of Denmark. He
had become the Queens confidential
medical attendant, position of no
mean importance at time when SO
/, much depended on the succession to
the crown, and he was closely in touch
with court life.
For the better understanding the
following history, the reader ought to
know that Bull, in the main, was an
honest, plain dealing fellow, choleric,
bold and of very inconstant temper.
He dreaded not old Lewis, either at
backsword, single falchion or cudgel
play; but then he was very apt to
quarrel with his best friends, especially
if they pretended to govern him if
you Aattered him you might lead him
like child. Johns temper depended
very much upon the air; his spirits
rose and fell with the weather glass.
John was quick and understood his
business very well; but no man alive
was more careless in looking into his
accounts or more cheated by partners.
