worse for wear. and often becomes SO
mutilated with constant handling that
its usefulness is somewhat impaired.
Then again 1t is frequently carried
away by thoughtless persons. and the
phone is practically out of use until

patented by an inventor of Hamilton,
Canada, not only overcomes these
drawbacks, but also offers a more con-
venient and quicker method of secur-
ing the desired address and number.
The device consists of a rectangular
box or case about four feet high or
eight inches broad and seven or eight
inches on the sides and is provided at
its upper section with series Of sheet
metal diaphragms, curved about a
quarter-circle. There are as many
diaphragms as there are letters
in the alphabet, and they are placed
about a quarter of an inch apart, leav-
ing a space between each. In each OF
these spaces between the diaphragms
is placed a ribbon of paper or other
material about six inches wide and

An Ingenious Use of Electricity.


An ingenious method of freeing
bicycle path of tacks is described by
New York paper. The experiment was
tried on new cinder path between
Binghampton, N. Y, and a suburban
town, which at once achieved q bad
reputation for puncturing tires. The
mystery was revealed in a peculiar way
and the trouble removed by remark
able contrivance. hastily invented by
an amateur electrician and enthuslas-
tic wheelman. A shoe factory at Les
tershire had furnished the cinders for
the first quarter of a mile of the pain,
and when the head of the factory was
questioned about the matter he admit
ted that there were probably thousands
of the tacks in the cinders. The mat
ter had never occurred to him before,
he said, and he generously offered to
share with the county the expense Oh
laying fresh cinders. Apparently there
was no other course to take, but in the
emergency the amateur electrician
came forward, and he said he could get
every tack out of the path in one morn
ing without removing cinder. Com
him to go ahead. He made a frame-
work of wood about three feet square.
fitted it with rollers and long han
die, so that it could be operated like
carpet sweeper. and then placed six
large and powerful electro magnets in
it. The magnets were so arranged
that they would almost scrape the
ground when the machine was oper-
ated. With this simple contrivance
he started to work the dangerous end
of the cinder path. He hadn't done
ten yards before his magnets were so
covered with tacks that he had to
clean them off. Before he had finished
the work he had to scrape his magnets
nearly fifty times, and when he was
through he had filed quart can to
overfiowing with the wickedest look
ing lot of tacks and sharp-pointed
scraps of metal that ever decorated a
cycle path. AS a precaution he went
over the path several times, but got
nothing after the first trip. There has
mt been a puncture along the cinder
path since, and more grateful wheel
men than those of Broome county II
would be hard to find.

Scientific Jottings.

In the electric supply stations in
London the boilers and engines in use
are divided as follows: Water tube,
1855 per cent: marine, IL per cent;
Lancashire. So per cent; miscellan-
eous, per cent; while the engines are
high speed, 62.5 per cent; low-speed
vertical. 25 per cent; low-speed hori-
zontal, 6.25 per cent; special, 6.25 per
cent. Direct coupling is universal.
Some samples of the cement used in
the antique water conduits of Ephesus
and Smyrna were recently subjected to
chemical analysis, and the various
samples were found to be similar in
composition. The waterworks from
which the samples of cement were TAX
en- were constructed from period sew
eral centuries before Christ to 300
years after. The chief constituent of
the samples was calcium carbonate
mixed with a small percentage of or
ganic material. This latter was found
to consist of a mixture of fatty acids.
Experiments were made with cement
such as burned lime and olive oil or
linseed oil, but it was not found to be
permanent On the other hand, mix
ture of two-thirds of either Stag or
lime and one-third olive oil hardened
readily and possessed such great en-
durance that 1t led to the belief that
this was the composition of the an
cient cements which were analyzed.
Germany will make a large display

In Pennsylvania new telephone
transmitter has been devised and is
ed that the outer casing and mouth
piece may be removed for the purpose
of cleaning without disturbing the

by threaded ring which screws on
the inner casing. 1t is. therefore, in
dependent of the adjustment of the
mouthpiece or any other condition of
the outer casing. The manufacturers
adjust the instrument, and no subse-

Boat Propelled by Explosions.


While not generally known, some
years ago boat was built and oper-
ated on the Delaware which had for
its only means of propulsion streams
of water which were pumped IN at the
bow of the boat and forced out at the
stern While the boat proved to pc
operative, the method was abandoned
as impracticable. Now an inventor OF
New York comes to the fore with an
equally novel proposition; namely, TO
utilize the reactionary force OF explo-
sive gases through submerged tube to
drive a boat This amounts to prac-
tically running boat by continuously
shooting off a gun under water. Ex-
perience with gas engines has SHOWN
that the explosive force of the gas can
be accurately controlled as regards the
period and force of the explosion, ana

trained to carry messages to and from
the Great Barrier island and Auck-
land New Zealand, and the system has
expanded SO much that it has now
become n very important means OF IN
tercourse between the inhabitants OF
the island and their friends and busi-
ness connections in the city. AT the
time of the wreck of the steamer

1t was four days before news OF the
calamity reached the capital and this
fact gave rise to the pigeongram sys-
TEN. At first but a few birds were
available for the purpose. but in 1896.
with the increasing population on the
island, 1t was found necessary to re-
enforce the feathered army, and at the
present time large numbers of mes
sages are daily sent from the island
to the metropolis and vice versa, by
this means. In the first place, Is. per
message was charged from the island
to the city and when team of birds
had been trained to fly from Auckland
to the island, messages were sent at
a cost of Is, and the messages to the
city were reduced to Cd. each. The
reason of the extra expense from Auck-
land to the island is the difficulty eX-
perienced in getting birds to leave the
city on their journey across the water
No messages for the island are sent
from the city after 10 a. m, as the is
land is often enveloped in fog after
that hour Some idea of the dispatch
with which the birds deliver their
messages may be gained from the fact
that they average (bad weather and

miles. One bird will carry as many as
four messages at a time The mes
sages are written on tissue pa

the tissue paper being perforated
down each side, and on being
folded is sealed with the pigeongram
stamp, which secures the privacy or
the message. The messages are then
wrapped round the pigeons leg and
covered with a waterproof Logging.
This protects it from wet in case OF
bad weather, or from the bird pecking
it off during transit. To open the mes
