twenty switches are on one route it
means fifteen or twenty minutes lost,
which is considerable item. In the
illustration shown here will be found
an apparatus for turning railway
switches, the invention Of a Philadel-
phian. The switch is automatically
thrown open to direct the car over
either of the two branching tracks
and is under the control of the motor
man on the front platform. In con-
nection with the switch is movable
tongue with lateral extensions, which
project above the roadway and by
which the tongue Is shifted. On the
forward end of the car, Immediately
in front of the car wheels, are two
small wheels, with beveled edges,
which are adapted to be thrust down
into position to act upon the lateral
extensions of the track. One Of these
wheels opens the way to the main
track, while the other opens the
branch track. This apparatus could
be attached to any trolley car, and,
being operated by compressed air, the
same rs the brakes, it would obviate
the necessity of the motorman turning
the switch by hand or Of employing a
switchman for this purpose.

to run away and get beyond the con-
troll of the driver. No matter how
carefully the favorite family horse is
trained and petted, he will get skittlsh
when an automobile, with its clamor,
passes him on the road. And there is
nj telling when he will take 1t into
his head to run away. An Idaho man
has invented an apparatus for attach
ment to vehicles, so arranged that the
horse or horses can be instantly re-
leased iii event of their becoming frac-
tious and running away or otherwise

pants Of the vehicle. A detailed ac-

will determine the position Of vessel
at sea, without the ordinary caicula-
tons necessary from an observation
of the suns altitude. 1t consists of u
pivoted globe, formed of glass iii order
to secure perfect transparency, con.
tanning lines representing merldians
Of longitude and parallels of latitude.
Outlines of the continents can also be
marked on the globe. On the axis and
within the center of the globe is
mounted small bulb of Opaque mate
rial. BY the peculiar mechanism Of
the parts, in connection with clock
dial and a compass, it is only neces-
sary to set the instrument, and the
shadow cast by the bulb will fall upon
the point on the globe corresponding
to the position of the vessel at that
time. The inventor claims that when
the meridian is known and the sun Is
visible at sufficient elevation above the
horizon for the ordinary form of solar
observation the position of a vessel at
sea can be determined accurately and
quickly by purely mechanical means
without the necessity of making any
Of the usual calculations based upon
observations with seXtant or other
solar altitude instrument. The ease
of setting the parts of the mechanism
to secure the satisfactory observation
is greater than in making observations
with the ordinary form Of instrument,
and the results are obtained in tangible
form at once.
John B. Smith, of yaldosta, Ga, is
the patentee.

PREFERS TO EARN HIS LIVING.
The Advocate gives an amusing H.
lustration of the force of hereditary
habits as it may be seen at the quail
cage at Lincoln Park. The story Is
sent US by Agnes Rosenkrans, Ocono-

Quail are accustomed to scratch for
a living, as their ancestors have done
since the days of the ark. 1t is not
necessary for the Lincoln Park quail
to do any scratching, for their food is
placed before them every day in album
dance; but an uncomfortable desire to
earn their bread in the good old way
still makes the little toes tingle. So,
at meal time, each Bob White trips
daintily up to the tray in which the

placed, leans his breast against the
edge of the tray and scratches for dear

father did. Then lie gravely reaches
down into the tray and takes a peck
at the crumbs. 1t has never entered
his head that he can eat meal with.

pApA's WAY OF SPELLING,


I'm having such dreadful time
At learning how to spell!
You see, I'm Just little girl
And can't do very we'll.
I've been to school for two months
now,
And SO some words know;
For teacher writes It on the board
And says go" spells go"
I've learned that "r-a-t" spells rat"
And "h-e-n'' spells hen;
That Rover is a dog"
And Ben, is Ben"
My teacher says she thinks tnat
Am doing very well;
But papa spells a different way,
And says, "Sh! Don't You tell"
You see, my names are Alice May,
And my last name is Hall,
And yesterday spelled them out
At school before them all,
My teacher said, That's nicely done!"
And SO at home last night
I spelled them out for my papa,
And thought had them right.
But papa said. You're wrong, my
pet:
For Alice
Spells darling dear, and May
Spells sweetheart don't you see?"
I told him what my teacher said,
But he declared: "Oh, no!
That's not the way your papa spells;
Your teacher doesn't know"
Ny papa wouldn't tell me wrong
Or say what isn't true,
And yet my teacher says that she
Spells just the way do!
I'm fraid I'll never learn to spell
No matter how try
II darling" 8 Alice"
And Sweetheart" g May!
