Burton's Diatribe.

Ex Senator Barton has made a
bad start in his career "a il re-
former. When a man comes ont
of Jail with the announcement, of
an intention 10 attack abuses, he

innocent and was railroaded into
Jail by prosecuting officers and
Judges ut the belae~t IF the Presi-

of valuable reform work.
The President of the United
States has great power, bl, no one
has ever ascribe,l To h,rn the pow

to he overcome is The irreguIarity
of the motor, and although many
devices have been patented to OH
viate this, and an occasional isolat-
ed use is reported, the method has
not vet achieved commercial sue
cess. 1t is said, however, by the
special forsign correspondent Of
The Electrical Review New York,
February %, that the question is
receiving soma attention in Ger
many aud that several firms have
gone into the manufae,ure of
windmills specially adapted for
operating small dynamos. Says
this paper:
"Braun & Company Of Dresden
are now building what is known %

has q maximum diameter of TWEEN.
ty.seven feet. In order to run the
dynamo from the whssl sheft uudss
the proper conditions, it is con-
nected to the latter by belt, and
tho pullsys are SD arranged that,
should the wind wheel turn at too
great a speed owing to high
wind, the belt will slip upon the
shaft xnd there will be no danger
Of the dynamo running too high.
This answers very well for the un-
usual cases, while for ordinary use
there is a speed-governor which
"cts to regula'e the dynamo speed
within the proper limits. An
automatic device is also used il,

cumulators which is generally

plant is also used in . large var

shown that the United States meat

sidered as wishing to continue sub
scriptions.

8. If subscribers neglect or refuse

tinued.
A. If the subscriber moves to an
other place without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to the
former directions, they are held re-
sponsible.
S. The courts have decided that
the refusing to take periodicals from
