MAN AS AN ENGINE.
He Runs With Less Waste Than Any
Engine Yet Devised

He Runs With Less Waste Than Any
Engine Yet Devised.
"To test the efficiency of man as
an engine" says the Boston Herald,
Professor Atwater of Wesleyan uni
versity has been engaged recently in
making some remarkable experiments,
employing a stationary bicycle as a
means of measuring the power devel-
oped by a muscular rider.
by the simple expedient of making
the tire of the rear wheel-the cycle
has no front wheel-pass between two
electro magnets which are connected
with dynamo all of the energy trans
mitted to the pedals is converted into a
current of electricity. This current
can be measured, and thus it is ascer-
tanned exactly how much power is en-
ployed.
"The rider operates his wheel inside
of great box Of wood lined with met
al He is not permitted to leave the
box for several days and nights, and
all of his food and drink are carefully
weighed. In this way the amounts of
fuel and water supplied to the human
engine are accurately ascertained, and
the total energy which they represent
can be easily figured out.
"As a result of the experiment it has
been found that a man is a much bet
ter engine than a locomotive, yielding
nearly twice as much power for Civ
en- amount Of fuel. He is superior in
this respect to the best and most eco
nomical pattern of automobile. In
fact, no kind of engine as yet contrived
steam, gasoline or electric-is equal
to him as a producer of energy.
"Professor Atwater says that the
most economical engine built today
utilizes, in the shape of work, only 10
per cent of the energy contained in
the fuel supplied to it. The human
power machine develops 20 per cent
without counting what is required to
keep the internal mechanism of the
body running. OF course it takes CON
siderable power to keep the heart
pump going and the digestive appara-
tus in operation. To reckon the eX-
penditure for these and other functions
at an additional 20 per cent would not
be over the mark.
"Thus it is seen that the human en-
CINE runs with much less waste than
any mechanical contrivance yet de-
vised. Man stands today the model
machine, and, with all his vaunted in
genuity, he cannot construct an appa-
ratus that comes near to equaling his
own body as a work producer, nor,
indeed will any other kind of engine,
though built of the best Obtainable
materials, run for anything like so
long a period without wearing out, re-
quiring in the same time so small an
expenditure for repairs"
Milford chronicle., 1905-11-10

City Party put up most determined
fight. The police department was at
all times the master of the situation,
and wherever trouble was started it
was quickly stopped. Some Of these
disturbances blossomed into small
riots. but after the smoke had cleared
away it was found that no one was
fatally wounded.
Under orders Of Mayor Weaver who
anticipated trouble, the police force
was almost doubled by the swearing
in of citizens who were sent into the
wards where trouble was expected.
Nearly all the mounted police of the
city were brought in from outlying
districts and distributed in the strong
holds of the organization. A corps Of
bicycle policemen were kept in reserve
at the city hall The police captains
were provided with swift automobiles,
so that they could quickly go to any
part of the city.
The patrolmen assigned to the POLLS
carried lists of names Of illegal voters.
These lists were handed to the cleo
ton officers, who were warned not to
permit any one to vote on the names.
The policemen were also held respon-
sible if an illegal vote was cast. Every
ballot box had to be opened for the
Doliceman's inspection before voting
began,
The number of arrests for election
frauds was upwards of about 500. Po-
lice magistrates were on duty in all
parts of the city giving the prisoners
hearings. The scene at the central
police station at the city hall was
without precedent More than 200
prisoners were given hearings there
for alleged fraud against the ballot. All
day several hundred persons were
gathered in the courtyard watching
the prisoners arrive in wagon loads
Every batch of prisoners were Kissed
or ho0ted as they were led into the
city hall. The hearing room was crowd
ed all day with party workers, lawyers,
bondsmen and others. As quickly as
a prisoner was brought in he would
be given an immediate hearing. held
in bail for a further hearing, and
promptly released by a waiting bonds
man. The released men were then or
dered back to their respective cleo
tion divisions.
Among the more prominent men ar
rested were Senator William H. Key
sey, floor leader of the state senate,
who was charged with interfering with
a voter, and John S. Hammond, deputy
coroner, who was accused of vouching
for an illegal voter. A deputy sheriff
was arrested on the charge of stufing
a ballot box while the election officers
were not looking. More than 80 per
cent of those arrested were men
claiming to be workers of the Repub-
lican organization.

. q
this year. Mr.. Head was the only DEM
ocratic nominee for this Office, which
practically made his nomination equiv
alent to an election. Homer L. Castle,
who was brought into prominence by
his attacks on the state treasury man
agement, following the developments
in the Enterprise National Bank affail,
was the Prohibition nominee for state
treasurer.
Public interest centered in the con-
test for state treasurer, for which the
principal candidates were J. Lee Plum
mer, nominee Of the Republican and
Citizens parties, and William H. Berry,
the candidate of the Democratic, Pro-
hibition. Lincoln and Independent par
ties. Berry was also the choice Of the
City Party leaders of Philadelphia, al
though his nomination was never for
mally endorsed by that party, on the
ground that it was purely a local or
ganization.
There was practically no opposition
to the reelection of Judge James S.
Young in Allegheny county Judge
John W. Reed. Rep, was reelected in
jefferson county. There was no oppo-
sition to the venerable Judge Craig
Biddle in Philadelphia and to Judge
David Cameron in Tioga county. Judge
Alexander B. Mcconnell was reelected
in Westmoreland county.
Norris Dallett was reelected a judge
Of the orphans court without opposi-
tion in Philadelphia. There was a hot
fight in Schuylkill county for orphans
court judge between Judge P. NJ. Dunn,
the incumbent, DEM; e. A. Beddall,
Rep, and George w. Bacon, Socialist.
Associate judges were elected in Clin-
ton, Elk, Forest, Fulton, Mlhlin, Mon
roe, Montour, Sullivan, Union, Warren
and Wyoming counties.

Says Berry's Election Means End OF
Republican Machine.
Pittsburg Pa, Nov. S.-Col. James
NJ. Guffey, Democratic national com
! mitteteman and leader of the party in
the state, makes the following state
ment:
"The election of William H. Berry,
a Democrat, as treasurer of Pennsyl-
vania by such a splendid majority,
does honor and credit to her good citi-
zens in every walk of life.
"The lesson means the beginning Of
the end of the greatest and most cor
rupt machine ever conceived in Amer
ican politics. It means that the de-
bauchery of the peoples money in the
state treasury, the days of ballot box
stuffng, the enacting Of venal legisla-
ton and the election of corrupt men to
places of honor and trust is over. It
means that common honesty and civic
decency are now to have a hearing.
at means that Pennsylvania, the
greatest of them all, will re-establish
her fonor and integrity and again as
sumo her former honored place in the
union of states"

Sent Message to the President.
City Party Chairman Edmonds sent
the following telegram to President
Roosevelt:
philadelphia has risen to its oppor-
tunity and stands redeemed. The prin-
ciple of honesty in government so ef-
fectively espoused by you has won an
overwhelming triumph Our majority
aproximates 10000"
To Secretary Root the following was
telegraphed:
"The masquerade is over The
criminal and corrupt combination has
been driven from power by the right
eous indignation of a great Republi-
can city. We have only begun. Our
thanks to you for your splendid aid"
State Senator James P. McNichol,
the Republican leader, lost his division
in the 10th ward by 69 votes.
One year ago President Roosevelt
carried the city by 1S0.SS4 plurality
None Of the Republican leaders had
much to say on the result Sheriff
James L. Miles, chairman of the Re
publican city committee, when asked
for a statement, said: Il have nothing
to say: what's the use?"
The City Party sympathizers cele-
brated their victory by parading the
streets. As soon as the result was def
nitely known hundreds of them form
ed in line and marched down Chest
nut street. An unusual turnout was
that of the campaign committee of the
City Party, which is made up of some
of the wealthiest and most influential
men on the city. They marched be

Estimates from practically every |
county in the state indicate the cleo
ton of Berry for state treasurer by |
from $4,000 to 100000 plurality Off
cial returns will probably increase
the figures.
In only two counties of the. state
Somerset and Washington-are gains
shown by the Republicans over the
vote for state treasurer two years
ago Large Democratic gains were
made in all the other counties. Sew
eral other counties, which have here
tofore been staunch Republican coun-
ties have gone for Berry by large
msiorities. In Lancaster and other
Republican strongholds Plummer ran
away behind the vote for state treas
urer in 1908. Plummer lost his home
county of Blair, and Berry lost his
county of Delaware.
State treasurer was the only state
office for which there was a contest
at the election in Pennsylvania. Judge
John Stewart, an appointee of Gov
ernor Pennypaeker, was reelected as
sociate judge of the supreme court for
the full term of 21 years. President
Judge Charles E. Rice and Judges
George B. Orlady and James A.
Beaver, of the superior court, were re
elected for a term of 10 years. John
B. Head, Democrat, was also elected a
court judge TO succeed Judge
Peter P. Smith, the minority member
Of that body, who failed of renomina-
tion.
Under the law no elector is entitled
to vote for more than three candidates
for judge Of the superior court when
four are to be elected, as was the case

The VOTE IN MARYLAND
Disfranchise Amendment Defested BY
10000 Majority.


10000 Majority.
Baltimore, Nov. 8.-The election in
Maryland was for state comptroller
legislature and county officers, and in
Baltimore for a judge Of the supreme
court, sheriff, city clerk and surveyor
The issue which engrossed popular at-
tention was a proposed constitutional
amendment, the avowed purpose of
which was'to disfranchise negro voters,
but which aroused widespread opposi-
ton among many Democrats and for
eign voters in both parties. Owing to
the extreme length of the ballot, the
count has been slow, and the votes in
some of the city precincts and remote
county districts have not been counted
The returns so far received, however,
make certain the defeat of the proposed
constitutional amendment by a de-
cisive majority of 10000 or more, and
very probable the election of McCul-
lough, Rep, state comptroller over At
kinson, DEM, and the election Of Re
publicans in three out of four of the
city legislative districts. The Republi-
can candidates for sheriff, city court
clerk and city surveyor in Baltimore
are also elected.
Chief Judge Harlan, Dem, is re-
elected by 10000 majority. The Re-
publicans did not nominate candidate
against Judge Harlan, though there
was an Independent Republican candi-
date The political complexion of the
next legislature is uncertain, and will
not be known until the official count
has been completed.
