only an accessory, for the apparatus
the construction Of the wheel or
ing mechanism alone contains the In
teresting features of the invention.
There are two circles composed of
levers which are placed On the two side
faces Of the rim of a large wheel. These
two sets of levers form an angle of As
degrees with each other, and at their
outer ends CONFERENCE.-The are attached
to the longer arm of each lever. From
the start we conclude that the
terweights on the side farthest from
the center of the wheel would give a
preponderating turning force to the
wheel, causing it to turn with a circu-
lar movement.
The wheel makes four turns per
minute and its movement Is regulated

by a centrifugal governor put in mo-
ton through an endless chain.
When the wheel in its movement
brings the short arm of one of the lev
ers, which may be called an armature,
to the face of the pulley the phenom-
enon of magnetic repulsion takes place,
which causes the long arm of the lever
with the c~ounterweight to rise to a
vertical position, while the further
motion of the wheel causes 1t to fall
to the other side from the vertical o
sition, thus making 1t add its weight
to each of the others which have pre-
seded 1t to keep the wheel In motion.
The motion of the wheel is trans
nittsd to the clock spring through a
pinion placed on the axle which meshes
into a toothed wheel, which at Its ZEN
ter has an endless screw acting on an
other smaller wheel, whose axle pinion
rests on the wheel of the drum which
winds up the spring.

"A HousH SEES IT.

Nv reason of Its vast wealth inc III
ecr~upulousness, the league mas poe
uniformly successful in battering down
all sorts of opposition In the past
Knowing the large profits that couiu
| be made out of the game, the magna.os
never overlooked q trick, no matter
how unsavory, that might tend 10
strengthen their control OF the game.
In fact. after having swallowed all out
siders, they started In to swallow
themselves, after the fashion OF tne
hero in the Dab Ballads" This mas
led many to fear the outcome OF a
fight. SO far as the American League
Is concerned. They argue tnat tne
National Leaguers are playing on vel
vet; that by virtue of their
strength they will be able to choke on
the American League.
No one need be apprehensive on tnat
score. The National League In all us
experience was never confronted by
such an opposition as that now onered
by the new American League. In the
early sos the Association leaders were
mere things of clay In the hands OF the
willy League magnates. In the brotn-
erhood war, public opinion as 10 tne
merits of the conflict between the
League and the players was aDout
evenly divided, many people believing
that 1t was but a strike on the part OF
the players. Thanks to the lavish use
Of money On the part of the magnates
and the treachery of many OF the play
ers. the Leaguers won that hgnt IN
quite handy fashion. A year later an
other fight was precipated with the
American Association, when the latter
was robbed of the services OF Stovey
and Beirbauer. That matter was ad-
justed by the amalgamation OF 1871.
That was construed as a League VIC
tory, but another such victory n the
League would have been undone, as
Colonel Rogers said at the time.
But in the American League the Ma
tional League is stacked up against an
stirsly different proposition from any
thing which 1t has yet been called upon
to face. In the first place the leaders
Of the American League have the conn
dence Of the public. For Ave years they
have successfully conducted the Sec
ond strongest base ball organization
in the country. Their business deal
fngs are clean-eut and honorable. They
have absolute confidence. not only In
Ban Johnson, their president, but In
each other. There is a practical base
ball man at the head of each club.
They will not be weighed down by any
ornamental $4,000 presidents. secre-
taries or treasurers. They are possess
ed of the old-fashioned idea that the
people who ~patronize baseball care
more for the game than they do the
chickering's and The mud singing of the
magnates. Above all, they are abso-
lutely on the level with each other
Taking the reverse proposition OF all
these, and you have a good idea of the
collective composition Of the National
League.-Hough.

carries off the forward bend and the
kangaroo walk most effectively. Its
popularity may be traced partly to
their cultivation of the fad and partly
to the affectation OF an attractive
young actress who carried 1t with her
from the stage to Fifth avenue. where
1t won the commentator OF the men
and the envy of the women. II imita-
ton is the sincerest flartery, then the
young woman from sageland must
have been overwhelmed by seeing her

The masters of English are not afraid
to use homely words whose expressive
ness more than offsets their plainness.
Thus Lord Roseberry declares that
England, in order to Withstand inter-
national competition. must educate her
youth, and he suggests sending
"batchfs" of young men abroad to
learn the best her rivals know. That
honest word batch would have been
passed over by a speaker less sure OF
his English, when speaking of an ag-
gregation of individuals. In the use OF
language there Is a happy medium be-
tween overfastidiousness, which weak
ems ones style, and out-and-out slang,
which wrecks 1t completely.
