BLOCK AND TACKLE.
Convenient Apparatus Tor LfftinW
Heavy Loads with Compare
lively Small Power.

Familiar as many people are with a
block and tackle, it is not everyone who
understands the principle on which that
apparatus works, or why any advantage
caA be derived from its use. Hence, a
short explanation is permissible, says
the New York Tribune.
1t may be explained, to begin with,
that the chief benefit comes from a null
tiplication of pulleys. If only one pulley
be used, there may be some increase of
convenience, but nothing is gained in
power. Suppose, for instance, that from
point above and outside an open win
dow be secured a single pulley, over
which rope is run, SO that both ends
touch the ground. Let heavy object
be attached to one, and let a man pull
down on the other. If the object weighs
more than the man, ne cannot start it.
1t it weighs less, he can. For every one
foot of descent at his end, the attached
burden will ascend exactly the same dis
lance. The lifting force e1erted on it is
equal to- the pulling force at the other
end; that is, theoretically. This may be

UNLOADING wATERMELONS.
Work That Calls for Activity and Not
Little Skill I'm Tossing and
Catching.

"Play ba1l!" said a stalwart looking
young man standing on big truckload
of watermelons backed up to the curb
in front of the store at which the melons
were to be delivered, and a moment later
he had tossed the first big and solid green
globe to man standing in the middle of
The sidewalk, who tossed it to a man
standing at the front of the store, where
The watermelons were to be piled, says
the New York Sun.
And then these three men kept the
watermelons going through the air till
the whole load had been transferred
from the truck and stacked up in pile
at the store door. This is the common
way in which watermelons are unlos d.
ed, and in which they can be shifted a
good deal quicker than they could be
by picking them up and carrying
them in.
1t is strenuous work, and work that
calls for skill, too, tossing and catching
watermelons; but the, men that handle
watermelons handle many loads thus
and get well accustomed to the work in
the course of the season, and they trans
fer load after load without mishap.
But even an expert watermelon catch
er may muff bali occasionally, and
when he does they never stop to gather
up tbs fragments. 1t is quite beyond
repair.

CAN PLANTS REASON?
Prof. ShaIer Thinks They Have Some
Intelligence and Gives Reasons
for His Opinion.

That plants have intelligence is main
tanned in a thesis by Prof. Shaler, of
Harvard university. After discussing
the automata, he says: eve may accept
the statement that our higher intelli-
gence is but the Illuminated summit OF
mans nature as true, and extend it by
the observation that intelligence is nor
mally unconscious, and appears as con-
scious only after infancy, in our waking
hours, and not always them" In sum-
ming up the professor uses the follow
ing sentences: Looking toward the or
ganic world in the manner above sug-
gested, seeing that an unprejudiced view
of life affords no warrant for the mo-
ton that automata anywhere exist, trac-
ing as we may down to the lowest grade
of the animal series what is fair evil
dence to actions which we have to be-
lieve to be guided by some form of in
telligenee, seeing that there is reason to
conclude that plants are derived from
the same primitive stock as animals, we
are in no condition to say that intelli-
gence cannot exist among them. In fact
all that we can discern supports the view
that throughout the organic realm the
intelligence that finds it's fullest express
sion in man is everywhere at work"

Il
handler way to manage the load than il
the man was up in the window and tried
to raise the same load by rope running
straight downward to the latter But,
after all, there is no gain in power.
Now imagine different arrangement
that shown in the diagram. Suppose
there are two pulleys, one above and one
below. Let the weight (W) be attached,
not to the end of the rope, but to the
block containing the lower pulley. Let
one end of the rope be secured to the
lower end of the upper block, and put
the other end (P) in the mans hands.
With these two pulleys he can raise near
ly twice his own weight. olift the load
one foot he must pull two feet of rope.
and he must work twice as long as be-
fore. In all mechanical devices of this
sort, what is gained in power must be
compensated by extra time and distance.
For the sake of simplicity, the draw
ing shows only a single pair Of pulleys,
one in each block. 1t often happens that
there are two or three pairs, two or three
pulleys in each block, but only one rope
being used. Such an arrangement gives
much more power. A single pair doubles
Cor nearly doubles) the power, two pairs
will quadruple it, and three pairs will
multiply it skiold, or nearly so. With
four pulleys, two in each block, the man
must pull down four feet of rope to raise
the weight one foot; and with six pull
legs, three in each block, he must pull
down six feet to lift it the same distance
Allowance must be made for the fric-
ton of the pulleys in their bearings in
the blocks. No matter how good the
construction there must be some loss of
power from that cause. Possibly this
item may be small, say, not over one
tenth or one-twentieth of the power ex-
pended. Still, it must not be overlooked.
The foregoing principles apply equal
ly, whether the power applied at P be de-
CINE. The advantage comes from null
DUPLICATION of pulleys, and what is gained
in one way is lost in another For load
ing and unloading steamers the block
and tackle has the added convenience
that it may be suspended from the end of
a movable boom, which may be swung
first in one direction and then in the
other. Thus lateral as well as vertical
transportation is made possible. This
other convenience, however, results from
the boom, or derrick, not from the block
and tackle.

Persons disposed to call In question
the easy-riding qualities of automobiles
have their opinions disputed by the fol-

There is the motor IN the front of
the machine, with it's easy, elastic vibra-

vibrations actually reduce the shocks

FEW BOGUS SILVER COINS.
The Reason for Scarcity of Counter
felt Dollars Given by Gov
ornnent DETECTIVES.

A bank cashier of long experience
stated recently that fully one-half of the
silver dollars in everyday circulation
were counterfeit. He declared that as
there was only little more than so
cents worth of silver in a dollar coun-
terfeiters were making them of. the ex-
act purity and fneness OF dollars coined
by the government. The bank clerk
said that the makers were clearing about
25 cents upon each dollar made. This
story went the rounds of the newspapers
and was believed by most people, says
the Kansas City Star.
Thomas R. McManus, the govern
ment's secret service operator here,
whose business it is to know all about
counterfeit money, said:
81 read that statement when it was
printed. 1t was too ridiculous for seri-
Gus attention by experts, but as it was
believed by a great many people it might
be worth while to say that of every
100, 900 silver dollars in circulation not
more than one is counterfeit with ay
percentage of silver in it. 1t is true
that man could make a dollar with
the same amount of silver in it that
the government puts in and make good
profit on it if he could pass it, and many
people wonder why it is not done more
than it is.
''The reason is very simple. All gov
eminent coins are stamped out of sheets
of cold metal This gives the coin a
clearness and sharpness of line that
could never be approached in coin
made of molten metal run in mold.
An expert can tell at glance coin
that has been run in mold, because the
metal does not fill out the lines and cor
ners. So, as a first proposition, your
successful counterfeiter of coins must
first set up machinery that would stamp
the coins out of cold metal.
"a plant of this kind would cost so
many thousands of dollars that no man
with that much money would think OF
| investing 1t in so risky a business. That
is preventive No. 1. The second is that
such machinery in operation, if located
in city, would shake the building and
be so noisy that it would soon be dis
covered 1t would be out of the ques-
ton to operate such plant in the coun-
try, of course. Inquisitive people would
soon nose it out, and the governments
operators would soon pounce upon it.
So, in brief, I've told you why the bank
cashiers story was very silly one.
You can add, to give it further effect,
that an expert can detect a counterfeit
silver coin the moment he sees and

work without the greatest exhaustion.
This is very common sight and is
almost always due to pelvic catarrh.
1t is worse than foolish for so many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently. 1t
cures old chronic cases as well as aslight
attack, the only difference being in the
length of time that it should be taken to
