AT THE ACADEMY

reared at the Academy of Music last
night in George NJ. Cohans Fifty
Miles From Boston large audi,
ence gathered to SEE the play. which
was the last regular attraction Of i'm

Fifty Miles From Boston is not
a big musical play such as many peo-
pie expected: IN fact it is not much
of a play Of any kind. Hence. be-
fcre the first act Was over. a feeling
OF keen disappointment pervaded the
house. Fortunately. however, there
are clever people in the company. and
the evening passed off very pleasantly
in spite If the play.
What there Is OF a play Is, as the
program says. rural and musical.
1t is musical in slots-small spots,
! few and far between. A chorus Of
| about fifteen is used to advantage
three lr four times, and the total or
the musical numbers Is six.

middle of a dance and rush down TO
the front # the stage to prevent a

1t is to be remarked, first of all,
that poles get out of plumb and align
ment because of wind pressure and
wire strain. Eliminate these two
stresses upon any pole, and unless it
be located at the edge of quicksand,
or abuts living spring of water, it
will very likely remain erect until it
decays. Fig. l shows a form of brac-
ing that is excellent to aid a pole to
Withstand the rocking effect of the
wind. Most winds are unsteady in
effort, and this accounts for so many
poles leaning, for the pressure Of
the wind comes and goes suddenly,
each gust being followed by periods
of lull, so that pole rocks, swinging
out with the gust, and back with the
following lull. The design is self
explanatory, and is intended for a
full-sized pole, set seven feet in the
ground. But poles to carry two to
four wires need not be so large, either
in diameter or in height, nor be set
so deeply in the ground. The per-
pendicular braces, coupled at the top
by horizontal timbers, are efficient to
Withstand the rocking effect of the
pole. The oblique braces are also
valuable assistants. Strange as it
may appear, when oblique braces are
used alone. they tend to lift a pole
out of the earth as it rocks back
and forth. The horizontal braces do
not have this tendency. Perhaps chill
dren have observed that their swing
The Morris County chronicle. [volume] (Morristown, N.J.) 1877-1915, 1909-10-12

poles, when braced by oblique braces
only, have gradually become loosened
and lifted by swinging. This system
of bracing poles, therefore, is to be
recommended for children's swings
The design shows the parts well pro-
portioned, and they may be proper
tionally reduced in dimensions in
working them out.
Fig. 2 shows how cement may be
substituted for wooden braces at a
bend of the line where the wind and
wire strains are not too severe. The
hole in the ground is dug obliquely,
the pile is set upright, and the tri-
angular spaces on both sides are filled
with cement. Odd-shaped poles,
should it be necessary, may be used
anywhere when properly braced. One
good way of bracing such a pole is
portrayed in Fig. 8. A toe of cement
may be extended into the ground to
give the cement grip" If it is still
required to have a stronger support,
a wooden brace may be affixed as
shown, it's bottom resting on large
fiat stone, with or without cement
binding.
