mates the crop from it's ginners' re-

Power Generating Street Car.


The transmission of the electric cur
rent from a power plant along wires
to prope1 street cars has become
common affair. and the lay mind sell
dom bothers itself with the problems
which had to be solved before this
was made possible. 1t seems, however,
that the limit has not yet been reach
ed, for a rather peculiar idea has just
been worked out at Davenport, Eng
land, by which the cars when running
down grade return current to the
wire, thus aiding in driving the
motors on cars climbing hills or run
ming on a level. Lest the perpetual
motion enthusiast should see in this
a solution of his puzzle, let us state
that it is still necessary to operate
the power plant, but considerable
power is saved by this method which
would otherwise go to waste. The ap-
paratus is constructed Sc that the car
descending a grade first supplies the
current generated by it's own motors
to the operation of the brakes, and
the balance of the current is returned
a short time before was receiving it's
power. AS this idea is said to be
in operation at the. above named
town, it's success must be taken for
granted, and the system which has
been patented by J. S. Raworth, is
said to save considerable electric
energy over the ordinary system.

The Baby Turtle.

Turtles, you know, lay their eggs
in the sand and let the sun hatch
them out. They do not lay them all
in one place, probably because they
think it safer to scatter them. Then,
even though one be stolen or broken,
the others may escape. The mother
turtle covers them all carefully up,
one after another, with a thin sprink-
ling of sand, and then apparently new
er gives them another thought, con-
sidering her maternal duty done. Ger
tain it is that she has never been dis
covered going near these egg babies
again, and when they hatch at last
the tiny, soft backed creatures at once
begin crawling around in search of
flies and other food as independently
as if there were no such thing as a
mother in the world. A little girl
who found one of these odd, oblong
turtle eggs on sandy river bank in
Louisiana took it home and put it in
a teacup on the table for safekeeping.
A few hours later a slight noise was
noticed in that direction. and on look
ing in the cup again she found a baby
turtle, full fedged,'' but tiny, scramb-
ling about among the bits of it's brok-
en- eggshe1l cradle.

A MaojcaI Experiment.

Here is little feat that any boy can
perform and yet it looks like trick
of magician. If you wish to enter-
tain a company with it tell them that
you have a bottle and a goblet, both
full to the brim of water, and tAat
you are going to empty the goblet by
means of the bottle without taking
drop of water from the latter.
This is the way to prepare it: With
a red-hot wire bore two holes through
cork and into them insert two
straws, one of them extending above
the cork as high as the goblet is deep,
the other about twice as high.
Now, with little kneaded bread or
wax close the upper end of the short
er straw and then force the cork into
the mouth of the bottle until the wat
er spurts out through the longer
straw
Meanwhile you have the goblet of
water on the table before you, and
scissors. Hold the goblet over the
basin with your left hand and with
your right turn the bottle upside
down, putting the shorter straw inside
the goblet. AS you do this have some
one take the scissors and cut off the
closed end of the shorter straw. Wat
er will at once begin to run out of
the longer straw into the basin and
will continue to run until the goblet
is empty. You must, of course, hold
the bottle so that the short straw
will reach down to the bottom of the
goblet.
This is simply the operation of a
siphon.

ancient Egyptians so true is it that
there is nothing new under the sun.
The old Egyptians had military or
der called the Order OF. the Fly. Flies
in Africa are like flies elsewhere, only
very much more so. They tease and
worry poor human beings almost out
of their wits. Driven away, they come
back to precisely the same nose or
bald head. This habit of theirs had
caught the notice of the Egyptians,
who thought that in this respect fly
was like a good general, who, no mat.
ter how badly or how often beaten,
always returned to the attack. So
they decorated their great generals
with this order-a golden chain, from
which at various points were suspend
ed flies of gold, four inches wide
across the closed wings. In London
seemingly, the only order of the fly
that is known is the order to which
the Artful Dodger and his mates be-
longed.

that representative of five roads

tended trial of the brake is to be given
upon the regular train service. This
new invention may be said to be
an improvement upon the air brakes
now in use. 1t is SO connected with
the air brakes of a train that when
the front wheels of locomotive pass
over a danger or halt signal upon the
tracks. it will Automatically apply the
brakes, at the same time opening the
whistle valve. The apparatus worked
with perfect satisfaction, even at the
great speed of 1918 miles an hour
but because of the extraordinary
strain to which it was subjected AN
important part thereof was broken.

shops. You can make one easily
if you follow these directions. The
drum is made of two circular pieces
of cardboard Gas large as the palm
of a mans hand), which are joined
by a narrow strip of paper pasted
around the rims. But before the
strip is pasted. a piece of wire is run
through both the circular pieces of
cardboard and a small ball of lead is
swung from the wire between the two
sections. Then the strip of paper is
pasted around the rim of both circular
pieces and the ends of the wire ex-
tending over the paper are bent over
the rim of each circular piece of
paper and Joined (see cut). A small
bird cut from cardboard, which may
be colored to make it more lifelike,
is fastened to the top of the wire (tke
bird, of course. must be lighter than
the ball of lead inside of the drum).
When the drum is rolling over the
table, the little bird will bob and hop
as if alive.

BURGLAR Proof Express Car.

With the large quantities of valu-
ables which the express companies
transport about the country it is not
to be wondered at that they should
be wiling to spend considerable money
to make their cars as near proof
against hold-ups and robberies as pos
sible. The proceeds of single haul
by a gang OF bandits have frequently
been great enough to pay for equip
ping a number of cars with the latest
ideas to protect the messengers and
contents of the car, and as there still
remains a possibility of robberies OF
this class in the future, an Oklahoma
man has designed the car whose de-
tails are presented in the drawing,
hoping with this equipment to frus-
trate the would-be robbers The prln-
cipal feature of this apparatus Is

er than Eo}asses in January" which is
responsible for the invention of this
automatic valve cutoff. In the one
instance 1t will save waste, while in
the other 1t will save time, as the
clerk can go about his business with
the assurance. that when the proper
quantity has Issued from the faucet
the valve will be closed without any
effort on his part. In this invention
there Is a suspended platform, on
which the jug or other receptacle is
placed beneath the faucet. The plat
form IL supported at the lower end of
a vertical rod, and the latter has a
spiral spring controlling it's down
ward c,creGent. At the top of the rod
is a nosched gauge, which can be ad-
justed to operate at any desired point.
The jug is placed on the platform and
counterbalanced; then the gauge is
set, the valve opened and the valve rod
hooked to hinged bar, which is de-
pressed by the gauge. 1t is obvious
that as the liquid flows into the jug
and the weight increases the vertical
rod will fall gradually until the gauge
strikes the hinged bar. AS the weight
of liquid still further increases the
bar will descend and operate the valve
closing rod.
The inventor of this valve closing
device is Charles Simon, of Avilla.
