BEN FRANkLIN'S PURCHASE
An Old Electrical Machine Dating
Back to the RevoIutIon.


Nearly every schoolboy OF genera
ton ago was familiar with the friction
al electricity machine. never of very
much practical value, but of great in
terest to youthful minds on account Of
the spark that could be made to pass
from condenser TO youthful finger.
Nowadays the size Of the spark has In
creased as the size of the machine has
diminished, but an example OF the ear
lier type is still preserved at the Jeffer-
son physical laboratory at Harvard,
where an interesting collection of an
tiquated pieces Of apparatus gives the
visitor 10 Cambridge an opportunity to
compare the earliest with the latest
methods OF studying physics and as
tronomy.
This special piece, moreover, is pnr-
ticularly interesting In that IL was orig
inally purchased for the college by
Benjamin Franklin when acting as
American commissioner to France dur
ing the Revolutionary war. 1t IL cum
bersome affair that would require a
horse and a small wagon or a whole
automobile TO move, but the principle
on which II is based is the same as In
its modern successors. Aside from size
the most noticeable difference is In the
use of a glass globe about a foot In d.
ameter to produce the electricity by
friction instead of the big circular glass
plate seen In later machines.
Despite it's size and the big globe,
however-which is supported on posts
resembling those OF a colonial four
poster bed-the old machine never ex-
ceeded spark two inches long and
was even proud OF that modest per-
formance. How modest II really was
may be seen by comparison with a
modern machine In the next case, so
much smaller than FrankIin's that II
can be held In one hand, that produces
spark Of electricity Of nearly seven
| inches.

UPON A GOLD BASIS.
Calculation of the New Chinese Tar
iH

= Consul General John Goodnow, stationed
at Shanghai. has forwarded to the State
Department copy of the new tariff sched-
ules adopted by China, together with a
copy of the agreement entered into between
Mr.. T. S. Sharretts, the special commission
China by this government for the purpose
OF arranging the tariff. and the commission
ers appointed to superintend the work on
behalf OF the Chinese empire. The new
schedule shows the effect of the agreement,
which had previously been arrived at. to
make all rates on imports into China spe-
ciic rather than ad valorem. nine-tenths or
more of the articles being thus listed
Heretofore the ad valorem system has
been in use, the result being that many
frauds have been perpetrated and the reve-
nues reduced TO point far below the needs
of the Chinese government The effort under
the old system was to levy tariff amount
ing 10 8 per cent on the value of all goods
imported. but the percentage was calculated
upon a silver basis.
Under the new arrangement the caIcula-
ton Is made upon gold basis. The specific
duties provided for are also intended to be
OF an average of 3 per cent in value The
rate is not changed. but the adoption of the
gold basis will have the effect of an in
crease. The new tariff is to go into effect
the 3lst instant. or 1.-The first day of the
tenth Chinese MOON There is special
understanding that in case of difference in
meaning between the English and the Chi
nese texts of tariff the English version is to
be accepted as correct

BOY RECEIVERS FROM LoCKJAW.
Phenol Treatment Said to Have Been
Used With Success.

Howard Payne. the eight-year-old son of
Mr.. James F. Payne of 23l4 NJ street north
west may be classed among the few who
have recovered from an attack of lockjaw
About six weeks ago the lad stepped on a
piece of broken glass, sustaining an ugly
cut in his right heel The wound was ban
7-. i, and although the boy complained
of feeling sick. but little was thought Of
the wound, until about three weeks later
when symptoms of lockjaw appeared. DR..
Joseph F. McKaig was called in, and con-
firmed the suspicious of the boys parents
The physician Immediately took the lad IN
der treatment, injecting phenol in the spine
five or six times day. This treatment was
kept up for several weeks it is said, with
the result that the boy has been entirely
restored to his normal condition.
Speaking of the boys case to Star re-
porter DR.. McKaig stated that young
Payne's case was a most remarkable one.
Ninety nine per cent of the people who are
affected with lockjaw. he said, fail to re-
cover DR.. McKaig regards the boys cure
as a great victory for the phenol method,
and says that although it is not as well
known as the antitoxin cure, it is used by
Italian investigators.
