p PHOENIX INVENTION
An Important Improve menf on an
Old Device.

/ L. NJ. Francis has just completed {
device upon which he has been en-
gagged for three years for furnishing
power in small quantities., sufficient
for instance, to run fans. He has ii
n successful operation and has al
ready made application for patent.
| The power is furnished by a weight
He cannot get a patent on that device
alone, for it has been n use since long
before the weight clock was invented.
Mr. Francis claim rests upon the
application of sheave by which the
work of winding the machinery is ia
oilitated. The sheave works upon the
main shaft with a ratchet. The
weight is attached 70 a rim of the
sheave by means of cable. The cable
for raising the weight is an indepen-
dent affair 1t runs through blocks
and over the face of the sheave. which
running easily backward. winds I'D at
the same time the cable shat supports
The weight, but which has nothing to
do with the raising of it. The weight
devolves upon 1T only after the wind
ing up process IS at an end. The rest
Of the machinery consists of a multi
tude of wheels with varying speed of
revolution down to an imperceptlble
movement.
This kind of machinery for
the development of power has been
almost Empracticabre except IN clocks,
for the reason that the result has been
hardly compensatory for the time and
labor expended in winding up. Even
in clocks an Improvement suggesting
%he added device b. Mr.. Francis,
has been introduced. 1t consists of
a chain or cord for pulling the weight
up quickly. The principle IS simply
this: The machinery is adjusted for
operation with everything in place
but the weight, which IS lifted to it's
Place by q tremendous ard indepen-
dent power The weight in Mr.. Fran
els machinery happens 10 weigh 4S0
pounds. There is a SheaVe at the op-
posite end of the shaft to which an
other weight may be adjusted. The
slant and the power is sufficient to
run two fans for fhree and a half
hours. The time the machinery viii
run depends upon The sizes of the
numerous cogs in it.
AS has been Stated, the ma
chine was dtyiseU only for
fans, though it may be ap-
Piled to other uses in which light
power only is needed Its advantage
over other machinery for furnishing
power for fans and where power is re-
CURED for no other purpose is that
once in place it will cost nothing 30
keep it going. The importance of NJ.
Francis discovery lies in the o.rcum-
stance that it supplies by the applica-
cation of the sheave and ratchet some
thing that the need of has been recog-
niZed for centuries

Charles F. Hoff of Tucson, YESTERDAY

the present Yaqui trouble is several
hundred miles from Nogales the people
are warned by the events of 90 that it
may be very quickly moved much
nearer. That outbreak burst upon Lhc
Line City with confusing suddenness.
1t was not imagined that any consid-
cradle body of Indians were nearer
than the Yaqui river country. The
attack commenced about three o'clock
in the morning by the slaughter of
three Mexican guards at the custom
house. The others seeing that resist
ance was useless took refuge in the
tower nf the building. Mr.. Hoff, who
happened to be in NogaIes. was the
firs1 man on the American side at

one to propose taking part in the bat
tie. Several Americans secured guns
at the armory and taking twenty-five
rounds of ammunition apiece they en-

hours. More than 5000 shots were
fired on both sides. Mr..
Hof fired twenty-eigh1 Shot.

DIED IN A BOAT.
Young San franciscan and Eight SAL

Thirst ON the Pacific.

San Francisco, April %. - The
steamship City of Para, which arrived
from Panama, brings the first news of
the fate of Louis Woodley Maslin, a
young San Franciscan who left Ell
Triumpe in boat December 3, 1898,
with eight native companions. Maslin
was in business in Ell Triumpe.
The boat in which the party set forth
for the purpose of meeting an incom-
ing steamer was found near Corinto
with nine CHASTITY skeletons. There was
no water, no vessel to hold any, and not
a sign of food. Maslin, ST., is deputy
naval officer at this port and is heart
broken over the awful fate which has
overtaken his son.
