IDENTIFIES PASSENGERS.
Automatic Mechanism Invented for
Use on Railway Trains.

Wv NA AN@AMeJ @A-I-es
An automatic mechanism which is
intended to register the number and
class of passengers of a car, the dis
lance ridden by each, the approx
mate time and place of ingress and
egress of each, identifying the con-
ductor, car, trip, day or night, noting
the hour or minute of the day or
night and the approximate location
of the car, in order to obtain a true
automatic register or record of the
trip and the number of passengers
carried independently Of the coop
Grafton and beyond the control Of the
conductor, is an invention for which
Frederick W. Brooks, Of Brooklyn,
N. Y, has obtained a patent, says the
Scientific American. The apparatus
takes its records in such a manner
that they may be used as lantern
slides and projected on a screen. An
automatic mechanism controls cleo
trio circuits and connections to oper-
ate a camera electrically, at such in
tervals or distances apart as may be
desired by and in consequence Of the
revolution of the car wheels. The
mechanism is arranged in such a
manner that the intervals can be
changed or adjusted at will. The
camera is so adjusted as to photo
graph the interior or part Of in
terror Of the car, the platform or plat
forms and side running boards, and
any and all passengers that may come
within its field. The camera is so
connected with the electrical appli-
ances of the car as to cut off objec-
tionable or conflicting lights. The
connections are all protected. The
parts Of the invention may be briefly
summed up as follows: First, a de-
vice connected with and operated
by the revolution of a wheel or axle
Of the car and an electrical connec-
ton by which the operations Of the
Gamers and registers and the dis
lance between such operations are
actuated and controlled; second, an
electric current from any available
source, preferably a battery, either
primary or storage, situated in such
part Of the car as may be deemed
convenient and connected by con.
ductors with the above device, by
which the circuit or circuits are
opened or closed, the opening and
closing of the electric currents being
arranged to operate the camera OIL
cameras, the registers, and the light,
ing and de-lighting Of the car; third
a method for automatically lighting
the car in such portions as are de
sired and means for shutting off con
ficting or Objectionable lights.

NESTING HABITS OF BIRDS.
Comparatively Few Mate for Life
Some Pair for a Season.

comparatively rev mate Tor Life
Some Pair for a Season.
Why do all those birds which pair
for life always return to their old
nesting places? This is one Of those
curiosities of natural history, says the
illustrated (London) Sporting and
Dramatic News, which no one has yet
explained satisfactorily. Our wild
birds are divided into three classes so
far as matrimonial arrangements are
concerned. Those which become
partners for life form much the
smallest of these three classes, and
there are several of them whose con-
stancy to their spouses is open to
grave doubt. Then we have those
birds which marry in the spring and
remain constant to each other solong
as their young T dependent upon
them. When these young have gone
OIL to get their own living their par
ents separate, and do not mate again
next year. They have had enough
of each others society, and prefer
the charm of novelty. Three-fourths
of our wild birds belong to this class,
who make promiscuous marriages ev-
cry spring. Then we have the Brig
ham Youngs of the bird world, as
represented by the house sparrow,
who keeps up various branch estab-
lishmentS in addition to the ancestral
home. This %polygamous class is a
small one, but it is more numerous
than the casual observer would sup
pose.
