such an equipment. If such machine was adapted
to doing all the work of the farm, it probably
would be in constant demand
There are other problems in the more distant
future, such, for example, as aerial navigation
Should this come the electric motor would give an
ideal method of propulsion. The problem would
then be that of devisng of supplying
the power necessary to drive the motor. Could we
transmit power wirelessly as easily as we can mes
sages, the problem would be more than half solved
y One of the most promising fields of investigation
to-day is in the application of the electric furnace
For some purposes this furnace is hampered by the
cost of power. If it is simply question of heat
this, in many cases, be obtained more cheapv
directly from fuel but in a number of processes
the cost of the fuel is a minor consideration the
ability to control the conditions being vastly more
important. For example, there is no difficulty in
making pgiron in the electric furnace but there is
no advantage in doing So since the ordinary blast
furnace does it more cheaply However to produce
special qualities of Steel such are used in machine
tools, the cost of the heating is triling compared
with the Importance of obtaining uniform quality
of metal
There is no doubt whatever that in many processes
similar conditions obtain, and when this is the case
the electric furnace will undoubtedly dispace the
older types simply because it is convenient easily
controlled and does not necessarily introduce i'm
purities into the product
Another inviting line of work is the artificial
production of gems Up to the present time the
most successful work in this direction has been with
the oxyhydrogen flame, flame produced by burning
mixture of oxygen and hydrogen and which gives

temperature surpassed only by the electric fur
mace. Two Frenehmen Serny and Seneul have
already produced rubies of the first water as large
as one carat or even somewhat larger. These gems
are merely crystals of alumina, colored with some
metallic oxide. They are formed from mixture
OF alu1n1na containing few per cent. of chromium
oxide This is ground exceedingly fine, and small
quantity passed at time through the flame The
oxide IS volatilized and deposited in crystalline
form, the crystal being gradually built up ANY
gem OF this kind, such as the sapphire emerald
topaz and amethyst, can be made as easily as the
ruby, since they all crystals of aunina each
OF which has its own coloring material The electric
furnace undoubtedly can be used for producing
these gems in fact, this has been DONE though at
the present time the stones obtained are small
There is some hope that diamonds may be so manu-
featured Indeed, partial success has been attained
already, but the gems were of microscopic size.
And as with the electrical furnace SO with
every other branch of electrical industry. The
held tor Improvement, for original investigation
and for invention is practically unlimited and
even though the present is called the Age of
Electricity, discovery and invention in the fifty
years to come certain to far surpass those of
the nifty years just passed.

toned and there is still another-wreless te1eg-
raphy. This is comparatively art but it
has developed rapidly during the last three years.
The ideal toward which we are striving is system
that will enable to transmit over fairly great
distances, with certainty, the message being re-
ceved by only station out of many within
range distinct advance has been made in the
past year toward solving the problem of selective
transmission, by which is meant the ability to send
a message to any station without having other
stations within range receive it. The distance
which wireless telegraph messages may be sent
has been increased considerably; but much
work yet remains to be done to put the
system into actual commercial use We are not
yet sending messages across the Atlantic. How
shall do cannot be said, but the great
problem of maintaining communication between
ships and land is practically solved. An important
result of the equipment of every vessel with wire
less biography will be the material reduction in
the danger of collision at sea. This will be of the
greatest service during foggy weather for then
every vessel will be able to inform all other vessels
where she is and what her course is, In the same
way, ight-sps and lighthouses will inform vessels
when they approach dangerous localities.
Of a somewhat similar nature though accom-
plished by entirely different means, is the auto
matte block signaling of railroad trains The ideal
here would be a system which would automatically
set the signals train proceeded along the track
1t not only would thus warn the approaching
train, but would actually stop it if the train ran
past the danger signal 1t would also warn the
leading train of dangers ahead of it, such as a
broken track bridge A number of systems

dared not predict what even a quarter of
century might develop in transportation in this
country.
Over seventy years ago seven and one-ha1f ton
engine drawing two coaches not much larger than
the tally-ho coach of to-day was the beginning of
railroad business in the United States At the time
the electricocomotive testwas made at Schenectady
last November the type of locomotive in use was a
one hundred and ffty-ton, and the train which it
hauled at speed of sixty miles an hour was nearly
a quarter OF mile long and weighed over eight
hundred tons.

Epoch in RailroadimS

A N epoch in railroading forecasted in the
n test OF a new electric locomotive of the New
York Central Railroad at Schenectady, New-York
in November, 1904.
As one of the officials of the road Vice President
W1lgus, said after the test approved it marked
the end OF period of seventy years of the steam

cheaply SO that they be operated proftably?
Then, there is a great deal of work about farms
that might be done by the electric motor There
are to-day travelling steam engines, which gofrom
point to point during the fall threshing the grain
This system could be extended to include travelling
electric motors, which not only would take the
place of the old traction engine but would do far
more work, and could be kept busy practically
the year round. Electric motors are used in many
localities for blowing and cultivating, but it would
not pay the owner of a-sman farm to purchase

the test was approved, it marked
d of seventy years of the steam
locomotive in the United States.
1t is interesting in connection
with this event at Schenectady
to contrast it with the signih-
canoe of an experiment that
took place seventy-three years
ago. On September "a, 1891, on
almost the identical ground
where the new electrical loco
motive test was made last
November, the first test of the
steam locomotive was made.
One who witnessed this great
event in 1881 was Philip Hone,
a kinsman of Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish, whose husband is rail-
road magnate of this country.
Mr.. Hone was SO impressed with
the steam-locomotive test that
he made an entry of it in his
diary. Part of this entry follows:
Albany, Sept. cath, 1891.
Opening of the Albany & Schen-
ectady Railroad: After break
fast l joined large party at
the Eagle Tavern, and we pro-
ceeded in carriages to the start
ingplace of the railroad, about
two miles from the city. The
road from this point is finished
a distance of nearly II Z miles.
The inclined planes at each end
of the road were unfinished. The
whole length of the road when
completed will be 154 miles.
We experienced a detention of
nearly two hours, owing to one
of the locomotive engines, an
English one, being out of
order. 1t was finally abandoned
and we started with an American
engine, made at the West Point
Works, which performed ad-
mirably."
Another official of the New
York Central who has devoted
time and careful study to the
new system which is to be in
augurated said to the writer
that, great as the possibilities
appeared to him to be, he

white men took part and the
shooting resulted. What the row

other negroes are wounded more
or less seriously. Those who
escaped injury are hiding out fear

The killing of Mr.. frayYiCk
Not Believed Possible Mr.. McIp.

Wound.
10 the Editor of The State:

10 the Editor of The State:
In view of the fact that many
accounts of the. killing Of Mr. Wal
ter Iraywlck at Cheraw on the
9TH of January have been pubs
lished in various newspapers, both
in this state and inNorth Carolina
all of which are more or less in
accurate and misleading and all Of
them without exception doing Mr..
Mcintosh great injustice and plac-
ing him in very false and painful
positlon,l beg in justice to Mr. Nc
lntosh, to publish the following
account of the matter: L was
there at tho time and therefore
speak with full knowledge of the
whole occurrence.
On the afternoon in question Mr.
Mcintosh was shooting sparro7s
on the ground back of the depot.
The ground at the point is an Cd.
en- field running off level for a
long distance, dropping of rather
sharply into a valley. Mr.. Tray.
wick had gone 10 examine some
timber. 1t was in this valley Mr..
Traywick received the fatal
wound. Owing to the formation
of the ground, ia'C person at that
point could not be seen from
where Mr.. McInto.h was standing,
being hidden by the hill.
The gun used by Mr. Mcintosh
was small % calibre rife and
the cartridges were 40 shorts.
Now the distance from where Mr.
Mcintosh was standing to the
point where the first mark of
blood was found in the valley is,
by actual measurement, $50 yards
and, as there was no external
hemorrhage, the point at which Mr.
Traywick was wounded must have
been some distance beyond the
first blood marks, which was spit
up from the lungs. Mr. Traywick
walked before. falling from where
he was woundedNto within about
60 or 70 yards. Of! the railroad
track.
The ball that inflicted the
wound entered his right side, near
the collar bone, ranging downward
through bo,h lungs AM. lodged in
the liver on the left,.side, having
passed through two thicknesses of
his coat, where the collar was
folded over, through the collar
and body of the vest and through
TWO Snlrt6.
Now, in view of the great PEN
etration of the bullet and the long
distance, it is incredible that
1t could have been fred by Mr..
Mcintosh; % short could not
carry $50 yards; and taking into
consideration the remarkable pen.
etration of the ball it becem.
es an impossibility,
The probability is Mr.. Tray
wick was accidentally. shot while in
or near the outskirts of the woods
by somene hunting 10 the woods.

ATTACKED BY A CAT,

\ orkviIle, Feb 2.-Mr j w z
Hope one of the oldest and most
highly respected citizens of this
place was badly bitten and "claw-

residence here yesterday after
noon. Mr. Hope was sitting with
his right hand hanging down,
when the cat, which was lying
under the chair, sprapg at his
hand in II savage manner, bltiug
and scratching it quite severely.
In trying to draw his hand away
from the animal 1t was pulled
through the rounds of the chair
and Mr. Hope had to choke it off.
Miss Lucy Snarr, a young lady
boarding with the family, was
also severely bitten and scratched
by the cat in her efforts to assist
Mr. Hope. The cat has been in
the family for good number of
years and was looked upon as a
pet, Mr. Hope attending mostly
to its feeding.

EAR A REMARKABLE ORGAN
Specially Fitted by Nature for the
Needs of Man and Animals

Specially Fitted by Nature for the
Needs of Man and Animals.
The organ Of hearing is one Of the
most marvellous pieces of mechanism
in the body. In animals the external
ear acts as trumpet to collect the
sound waves. In man it is little more
than an ornament. But the internal
ear is alike in both. SO wonderful is
its construction that we can distin-
guish sounds varying from 40 to 1000
vibrations per second. This feat is
performed by a portion of the ear call
ed the organ of COrt. What a Won
derful organ that is may be under
stood from the fact that it consists of
5000 pieces of apparatus, each piece
being made up of two rods. one inner
hair cell and four outer hair cells
that is. $1,000 separate parts. In some
mysterious manner the rods, with 9th
er things are tuned to different notes
and. when they vibrate, they cause the
hairs to transmit an impulse to the
nerve of hearing. To be musical.
therefore, is to have a good organ of
COrti.
Fishes have no ears, or, rather, the
canals are closed; but they hear

for dangerous spectacles never seems
to pail. The latest ''attra elton" is the
gyroscOpe at the Casino de Paris. il
which bicyclist travels round the
inner side Of moving track or wheel
The gyroscope is constructed scien-

its axle, executing a circular move
ment round a strong pillar supporting
1t; a weight at the back insures the
stability of the apparatus.
The diameter Of the wheel is about
13 feet; it is built like a bicycle wheel,
and bears on one side metallic fac
ing joined to the axle by eight Orders
Of iron; on the facing is fixed track
composed Of small wooden bars, Civ
ing more grip to the tires.
The bicycle is somewhat similar to
ordinary machines; the handles are
vertical. the front fork straighter. and
