An Invention Which May Drive
the Noble Animal From
the Farm.
>x>x>w>x>w>x>w>w>x>#

Jacob ]. A. Morath of Clayton, st.
Louis county, Mo-, has invented an au-
tomobile plow. 1t is in effect a traction
engine, but it is more. A traction en-
CINE must have level ground to move
on. 1t must be hauled up grade. The
Morath pillow can not only ascend a
grade without trouble, but it can pillow
I'D the side of hill This fact has
been demonstrated on the soil of st.
Louis county, says The Post-Dispatch.
Therein lies it's superiority over every
thing in the line of a steam pillow.
Therein lies its claim to success.
The feat is made possible by the in
vention Of a peculiar form of what
may be called an auxiliary wheel,
which, by a spiral or screw arrange
ment, digs into the ground and at the
same time exerts a lifting force, which
drags the whole machine forward and
upward.
This invention cost Mr.. Morath II
years of time. The construction of the
pillow itself seemed simple enough and
gave him but little trouble. How to
obtain a driving force that would impel
the machine over any kind Of rough
ground or up hillside after the motive
power was applied was the problem.
For 15 years Mr.. MoGath thought and
experimental at his leisure. Two years
ago he tackled the problem in earnest.
Day and night he sought a method of
solving it. A thousand experiments
he tried, and finally he lighted upon the
device he has since employed.
One of his sons stuck spade in the
ground and held it firm. Around this
was thrown a rope running through a
pulley and attached to a plow- While

Experiments are being made in Wen
ma, says Cosmos, under the direction
of Professor Tune, aided by officers of
the garrison, on communication be-
tween balloons by wireless telegraphy,
and they have met with some success.
A captive balloon takes the place of
the tall mast used by Marconi, and a
copper wire is stretched between it
and the earth, where the transmitting
apparatus is placed. The second bal
loon, which ascends freely, carries the
receiving instrument and is furnished
with a wire 60 feet long, hanging
downward from the basket. This bal
loon receives messages very well up to
q distance of about ten ktlometers six
niles and at a height of 1000 meters
(about one miIe). Unfortunately this is
but half of the problem, for 1t has been
found impossible at present to estab-
lish a transmitting station in free
balloon, both on account Of the weight
of the necessary apparatus and be-
cause Of the danger of discharges from
a powerful condenser so near the in
f1ammable gas of the balloon.

A scientific journal deplOreS the lack
of trustworthy data explanatory OF the
migration of birds. Naturalists have
ALWAYS differed on this subject, and
the reason why birds migrate is still
a mystery. 1t is undoubtedly "a mat
ter of instinct and also of example
from older to younger birds. In many
cases the setting in of an early or late
winter may be fOretold by the early or
late migration of birds from north to
south. Some extraordinary stories are
told of things done by birds in carry
ing out this migratory instinct. 1t has
been calculated that the Virginia plo-
yer flies at a height Of two miles and at
a speed of 225 miles an hour. 1t is re-
corded that a Wilson's blackcap war
bier arrived at a certain bush in the
north in three successive years at 1:3O
D. IN. of the same day. One CORE
spondent considers that the migration
is fully accounted for by the suscepti-
bility of the birds to temperature in
fuence; that they seek in winter
warmer and in summer cooler air, so
as to AVOID being subjected to great
climatic vicissitudes. But most nat
uralists hold that the migrations are
largely a matter of the search after
food. They leave a given region be-
cause a specific food is exhausted, and
they fly to another specific region be-
cause the experiences of the tribe as
a whole have shown that desirable food
can be found there. 1t is not the winds
that drive them nor the temperature
that tempts them, but sheer hunger
forces them from one place to another.
The only weak point about this theory
is that often the birds disappear with
out any apparent reasons, when food
conditions are seemingly perfect. The
matter is still as great puzzle to the
cleverest ornithologist as to any one
else.

ORIGIN OF OiAMCN--
An Interesting Discovery Recon
Made Near Kimberley.

An Interesting Discovery Recon
Made Near Kimberley.
The origin of diamonds, which for :.
long has been a debated question. n:
pears to be explained by Il recent Dis
covery near Kimberley.
In both the Indian and the Brazilian
diamond fields the gem occurs like Il
pebble in certain gravelly strata, but
has not been traced back to any rock
that gives any indication of its genesis.
After the discovery of diamonds in the
river sand of some South American
rivers a peculiar material of a brown
ish buff color, which turned to a dark
blush tint, was found. 1t became dark
er as the miners dug down. The dia
mondS lay in this material, together
with several other materials, such as
garnets, iron ores, augite, Divine, etc.
Excavations, begun systematically,
were eventually carried on on such
large scale that near Kimberley they
reached a depth of more than 1,4OO
feet. Here the rock is about as hard as
ordinary limestone. The blue ground is
found only in limited areas. The rocks
around are of dark shades, banded
with hard sandstone, in which sheets
or bikes of baSalt or some material
which was once in a molten condition
are occasionally found. The blue
ground fills a sort of shaft of colossal
size in these other rocks and is itself
cut up by similar bikes. The opinions
of biologists differ as to whether the
gems are produced where they now lie
or have been formed of some volcanic
explosions. Experts now tend to the
belief that the blue ground in which
diamonds were found is not the true
birthplace. The powders are often
watermarked and may have rested for
ages in an ancient gravel at the very
bottom of sedentary rocks of the dis
trict In course of time volcanic explo-
sions shattered the rocky floor in which
the diamonds were imbedded, of which
the powders were only samples, and
dispersed it, together with the overly
ing materials. 1t is believed that this
is the true explanation of the forma-
ton of the diamond bearing blue
ground

Physics of Air and Sunshine.

In the current number of Temple
Bar the Rev. Mr.. Bacon says that the
best preventives of disease are cleanli-
ness and the access of sunlight and
fresh air as being the agents most
powerful in the suppression of bac-
terra. Large towns in Britain have
each their true west end, for, the west
ern and southwest winds being those
that mostly prevail there, 1t follows
that during Il large portion of the year
the smoke and fog drift away to the
east and northeast, leaving the west
clearer and purer. The writer claims
British weather is at once the most
capricious and at the same time the
best adapted to vigorous and healthful
enjoyment of life. : The Briton is q
stranger to the long ordeal of unvary-
ing southern skies, the breath of pesti-
lential air and the stroke Of sun or
ague. The face and physique of the
typical Britisher are the true weather
marks of his climate.

AUTOMOBILE PLOw.

another son pulled on the rope Mr..
Morath observed the effect of the ten
sion on the spade. He saw that, while
there was q force which sunk the
spade deeper into the ground, there
was also a force exerted on the pulley
which tended to drag it forward.
This force came from the end Of the
rope being pulled.
This situation then presented itself:
This force correspondent to the motive
power of the machine he had in mind.
If this force could be so utilized as to
urge the machine forward, why could
it not be made to give the wheels a
firm ho&d on the ground, the missing
climbing and blowing force he so de-
sired, If the proper connection could
be made?
The device which he finally perfected
is simple enough, but the mechanism
is complicated. The forward and up
ward motion is obtained by means of
certain chains and levers connecting
with two sets of rotary bars to which
are welded steel fianges Of curious
shape. When these bars are not in
use, they can be raised 80 as to have
no contact with the ground. When it
is necessary to go over piece Of rough
land or to climb hill, they can be
lowered by means of a lever. This
sets in motion a set Of machinery spe-
cially devised, and instantly the four
sets of fianges, like the arms of
turbine wheel, commence to dig into
the earth and to drag the pillow for
ward, on the principle of Mr.. Morath's
experiment with the spade and rope.
This device, the first one of the kind
ever invented for such a purpose, is
fully covered and protected by the
terms Of Mr.. Morath's patent
"This agricultural machine is sim
ply a substitute for the farm horse"
says Mr.. Morath. ''It can be hitched
to a harrow, a seeding machine, cul-
tivator, a roller, a harvesting machine
or almost any farming implement used
in the field.
"Since the pulling power does not de-
pend upon the weight Of the machine,
as in the case Of a traction engine, the
automobile pillow can be built SO small
as to be of use for truck or garden
farming. For the same reason it can
be made big enough for use in a field
where thousands Of acres are to be
plowed-
lowing to its peculiar construction,
it will work as well on billy land as
on level. For this reason it is as well
adapted to use on the hills of Missouri
as on the prairie farms Of Illinois and
the west. No other invention can claim
this advantage.
1.-THE pillow attachment is so arranged
that it can be raised when passing
along a road or from field to field so as
to prevent contact with the ground. 1t
can also be raised to pass over stump
or other obstruction in field. In fact,
the principle of the automobile pillow is
SO simple and the machinery so strong
that any intelligent man can handle it
without difficulty. There is little dan
ger Of breakage. All that the driver
has to do is to take his seat on top of
the pillow, which is about as high as a
wagon, see that the fuel is sufficient
and that the heat is regulated and look
but for dangerous instructions. In go
ing up hill all he has to do is to regu
late the machinery to place the auXilia-
~ wheels in contact with the earth.
The power behind the wheels does the
rest I"
