HOMEMADE DYNAMO,
Operated by a Heavy Weight, Lights
Youngstown Mans House.

Operated by Heavy Weight, Lights
Youngstown Mans House.
An ingenious lineman, employed by
the Youngstown Telephone Company,
has invented an apparatus for lighting
his residence by electricity at very lit
tie cost and trouble.
The apparatus in question consists Of
a dynamo driven by a weight. The
lineman, in constructing the apparatus,
aimed at SO arranging an electrical
generator that it could be driven by
gravity for long period Of time with
out any care or attention. After build
ing five dynamos and spending great
deal Of time in experimenting, he final
ly succeeded in building an apparatus
that has lighted his house with thirty
incandescent sixteen-candle power
lights for many months. The apparatus
requires no care whatever with the ex-
ception of an occasional oiling. Be-
yond the expense Of replacing incan-
descent lamps that are burnt out in
the course of time the apparatus has
not cost it's owner cent since it began
to run.
The apparatus is as simple as it is
efficient. The lineman appropriated an
unused chimney in his residence and
added on few brick on top to make it
taller. He covered the top Of the fiue
and placed a strong pulley in position.
Over this pulley he ran strong wire
rope, at the end of which hangs a
weight WEIGHING 200 nOTnds The
other end Of the rope is attached to
drum connected with a train Of geared
wheels, so arranged that the slow mo-
ton Of the descending weight is multi
piled many times over until the last
geared wheel driving the armature of
the dynamo revolves at high rate of
speed. The whole apparatus is SO
geared and regulated that it runs
smoothly and evenly. The lineman
built his own dynamo and did his own
wiring. The dynamo requires no engi-
neer and requires no attention.
Once week the weight in the chin
ney is wound up to the top. 1t takes
one week for the weight to again de-
scend to the bottom of the fue in the
cellar All that is necessary to light
the house is to touch button. A
clutch on one of the gear wheels is re-
leased, the weight slowly descends,
the wheels revolve, the armature Of the
generator whirls around and in few
minutes the whole house is lighted

Do Wall street men drink? is ques-

of the more noted bankers and brokers
never touch drop until after business
hours, but there are men of great con-

1t was just possible, and was advising

not realize it, her too large mouth and
prominent teeth, her irregular nose,

eyes were soft and full of animation,
her skin was like velvet, her figure and

How Ringing Affects Grapes.

Ringing grapes is practiced by many
growers to secure early maturity and
larger punches. 1t consists simply Of
removing a ring of bark from the bear
ing arm between the main vine and
the buds which are to produce fruit the
first season. This does not interfere
with the ascent of the sap, but it does
prevent the return Of the food that has
been formed in the leaves. The parts Of
the branch above the ring can draw
upon all the food formed in the leaves
Of that branch. AS a result the overfed
punches grow faster and become larger
than they otherwise would.

oh, Death, Where liz Thy Sting!

The boycotting of the luckless Next
can ambassador by representatives Of
the other powers at Washington re-
calls an anecdote of a recently de-
ceased clubman. He was present one
evening at a little musical gathering
when an aspirant for honors as a
pianist seated himself at the piano and
began playing one Of the national airs
of Mexico, LA Paloma." His execu-
ton was deadly, and he banged and
thumped the instrument until it was a
fit object for the interference of the
humane society. Finally he whirled
around on the stool and said, ''Did you
notice the air l was playing? Well,
when they led Macmillan out to be
shot they asked him what tune he
would like to be shot by and he select
ed La Paloma.' Do you know why?"
YES replied the clubman as he
glared at the executioner of the tune,

A week later Hamilton left the hos
pital for Graefrath, full Of hope. The
night previous to his departure they
came to an indefinite understanding
and though she would not give an un-
qualified answer to his pleadings, she
had not the courage to stop him alto
gether. In recklessness she allowed
herself to drink in the sweets of his
passionate words; they would at any
rate be a lifelong remembrance, even
though on his return he should cast her
off.
The operation was successful beyond
his hopes, and in a few weeks he was
rushing back to his love-eyes shaded,
it is true, but with the certainty that
in a short time his sight would be fully
restored.

The tomato rot is caused by fungus
which is blown by the wind from plant
to plant or carried by insects. The best
preventive for this disease is to plant
on fresh sod ground that has been fall
plowed, and use well-rotted manure
mixed with little phosphate. AS soon
as the young fruit commences to form,
spray the vines with the Bordeaux
mixture. after the dew is off, The
vines should be sprayed once every ten
days. The spraying not only kills the
fungus, but it helps the growth Of the
vines; larger, finer and more perfect
fruit can be grown when the vines are
thoroughly sprayed. 1t takes but one
hour to spray thoroughly five hundred
vines.

Orchard Treatment.

Good drainage, natural or artificial,
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Good tillage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves it's moisture.
Tillage should be begun just as soon
as the ground is dry enough in the
spring, and should be repeated as often
as once in ten days throughout the
growing season, which extends from
spring until July or August.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Even hoed or cultivated crops may
rob the trees of moisture and fertility
if they are allowed to stand above the
tree roots.
Watch sod orchard. 1t will begin
to fail before you know it.
Probably nine-tenths of the apple Or
chards are in sod, and many Of them
are meadows. Of course, they are
failing.
The remedy for these apple failures
Is to cut down many Of the orchards
For the remainder, the treatment is
cultivation, fertilization, spraying-the
trinity Of orthodox apple growing.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Potash may be had in wood ashes
and muriate Of potash. It is most COM
monty used in the latter form. An an
nual APPLICATION Of potash should be
made upon bearing orchards, 500
pounds to the acre.
Phosphoric acid is the second i'm
portant fertilizer to be applied arti-
fcially to orchards. Of the plain SUI
perphosphates from 300 to 500 pounds
may be applied to the acre.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest
by means Of thorough tllage Ito pro-
mote nitrifcation) and heterogeneous
green manures.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to Or
chards; yet they can be used with good
results, particularly when rejuvena-
ting the old orchards,
Cultivation may be stopped late in
the season, and crop can then be
sown upon the land. This crop may
serve as a cover or protection to the
soil, and as a green manure.-Prof.
Bailey, Cornell University.
