The space between the poles of the mag- net was 24 inches, and John cut out two of wood a ehade larger than 24 bent it harde this runt and a quarter of an inch thick. Then he whittled out two strips of wood, 2 Inches long by 1 inch wide. Through one of these strips he cut two oblong holes,each about a quarter of an inch long and about a quarter of an inch apart. These were to serve as arms to hold the front bearing of the armature shaft, to be mentioned later. ‘Then two strips of wood 2% inches long by an inch wide were made. A quarter- fnch circular hole was made exactly in the center of each piece, one being fastened to the two large pieces so as to serve as the rear bearing for the armature shaft, and the other to the ends of the two 1-inch arms Just mentioned. When the six pleces of wood wera properly fastened together h screws, they formed the frame of the dynamo, and presented the appearance own in the picture. The two large pieces were exactly 2" inches apart, and the space incl by the frame and the top and bot- the magnet was exactly on his friend's’ instruction: extremely careful , John to have this next step to be taken was one of the t important of all.

The wire he used was about as big around as a fine needle, and is technically known as No. 85. John bought all he need- ed of this wire at an electrical supply store ter fifteen cents. The winding of the wire had to be done with great care, and if any young reader tries John’s experiment for himself he should follow tliesé directions: Hold one end of the wire in the left hand, leaving a couple of inches free. With the right hand wind, as evenly as possible, Parallel with the shaft. It is not necessary that the wire should cover the whole sur- face of the core, but rather that there should be a bunch, so to speak—covering about one-quarter ‘of the core on either side. A clear idea of the way this should be done can be had from the picture of the armature. Enough layers should be wound to make the bunches project from the core about a fifth of an inch. When the last layer is on, the free end of the wire should be brought to the same end of the armature ccre as the wire underneath. After t™s was done John took a strip of cotton batting and wrapped {t twice around the long end of the armature shaft close to the core in such @ way as to bind the under wire to the shaft. Then he bound a strip of thin sheet copper, one quarter of an inch wide, around the cotton, making a small hole in the copper, through which the unbound wire was Passed and fastened. Then he repeated the cotton winding and copper binding operation at a point a quar- ter of an inch nearer the end of the shaft, fastening the free wire, exactly as he had done with the other wire and copper. ‘The copper was bovght for a few cents from an electrical supply store, the same as the wire had been, and when that was done the armature was all ready to be put in place. Having attended to that, John took @ small spool on which silk’ had been wound and slipped it on the end of the shaft which projected from the frame. This spoo: was later to serve as the “pul- ley” by which the shaft was revolved. Making the Currrent. The dynamo was then completed by cut- ting two strips of thin sheet copper one and a quarter inches long and a quarter of an inch wide, and inserting them through the oblong holes that had been made in one of the projecting arms of the frame, in such a way that the free ends of the copper rested on the copper bands out- side the cotton batting that was wound on the shaft. These fiat pleces of copper an- swered to the “brushes” and the copper bands to the “exciters” of a regulation dy- namo. When the armature, which, after | being wound; ‘is just large enough to graze the upper and lower parts of the magnet, is rapidly revolved, a current of electricity is generated and conveyed through the wire and exciters to the brushes. If a short piece of wire were made to connect the ends of the brushes that pro- ject through the arm, this current of elec- tricity would pass from the armature to ene brush, through the wire and directly back to the other brush and thence to the armature again, thus forming a complete circuit. If the wire is longer the current has to travel farther, and if, before it re- eurns to the dynamo, it is passed through a lamp, the lamp wil! glow, and that is the way all electric lighting is done. John's dynamo would not furnish enough current to light even an ordinary sixteen-candle in- candescent lamp, but theré was enough of it to make one of the little “pea lamps,” which John bought at an electrical supply Store for 5% cents, glow with dazzling brightness. In the picture John is shown holding this little lamp in his hand. Power From a Sewing Machine. When he first started the dynamo to running, he got his power from the big wheel of his mother’s sewing machine, and his younger brother sat and worked the pedals for him. Of course, the faster he made the wheel fly, tne more electricity was got from the. dynamo, and the wheel of the sewing machine had to be worked very fast in order to make the lamp glow. ‘The dynamo made what is know as an alternating current—that is, the current was produced only when the two bunches of wire passed the magnet. For this reason when the revolutions were slow the lamp would glow for an instant and then be dark for an instant, but when the armature was made fairly to buzz the glow would be steady It was not easy to kzep up the power wanted very long by the use of the sew- ing machine wheel and it was not very long befoce John fixed up a system of clockwork with a heavy weight, which, when wound, would run the dynamo for a long time. He had an interesting ex- perience very soon after his little machine was completed. He forgot that electricity always seeks the easiest road and he held the two res in his hand in such a way ‘e the current through his body. c , it was not strong enough to injure him, but it startled him and made rim understand better than he ever did before how the accidents happen around dynamos, so often reported in the news- papers. If John had placed a small motor so that the current would pass through it as it did through the little pea lamp, the motor would have whirled cxactly as large motors connected with large dynamos do. And, as a matter of fact, John did after- ward construct a small motor under the direction of his electrical friend, and found it a much simpler task than the making of the dynamo itself. THE BIG — EST PENSION. a Year, and England Pays It. From the Army and Navy Journal. The biggest annual pensicn that is paid in any part of the world is $95,000. The Duke of Richmond fs the recipient, and he has never moved a finger or a leg to ac- quire thi¢ vast annuity, which is per- petual, passing from son to son,-for no other reason than that the first Duke of Portland had a pull with Charles II. In 1676 Charies II granted the Duke of Portland a pension of £19,000 a year, in perpetuity, in Iteu of a duty of 1 shilling a caldron on all coals exported from the Tyne. Up to 170 the family had received as proceeds of the duty upward of £2,000,- 000, and in July, 1700, the duty was commuted for an annual payment in per- petuity of £19,000 a year from the con- solidated fund. As security for its pay- ment consols to the value of £633,833 és 0d were purchased. In the following year £485,434 4s 7d worth of these consols were sold, and the proceeds invested in land, and during the present reign the remaind- er of the consois were sold and the pro- ceeds similarly invested. Taking the annual payment on account of pensions at the present time, Earl Nel- son is in receipt of the highest outside the royal annuities, viz., £5,000 per annum, payable in perpetuity to all and every one of the heirs male to -whom the title of Earl Nelson shall descend. The Duke of Wellington’s annual pen- sion of £4,000 is for life, and. Lord Rod- ney’s pension of £2,000 is, like that of Earl Nelson, perpetual. The amount of royal annuities, excluding the queen’s grant of £385,000, is £173,000, and, counting the pen- sions for naval and ‘military services, £27,700; political and civil, £13,086; judicial, £70,705, besides a large ‘number. of mis- cellaneous pensions; the total comes to £316,758 yearly. The largest pension on retiring from office is the £5,000 a year given to retiring lord chancellors. It is 395,000 WAS WITH GRANT Interesting Recollections of His Head- quarters Chief Clerk. IN THE. TENT AND IN THE FIELD Waat the General Said on His Re- ¢ turn From Appomattox. HIS OWN COUNSELLOR ———— mountain district around Ozark, Mo., there lives a quiet farmer whose memo- ries of the late war and its generals would fill a highly in- teresting volume. From the fall of Vicksburg to Appo- mattox, M. Harrison Strong.now of Ozark, was the chief clerk of General Grant's h@adquarters. It will easily be seen what oppertunities this gave him for amassing priceless relics and conversing intimately with the heroes of the great struggle. But Mr. Strong is modest. He does not even attend the local G. A. R. post; and the writer is the first person to whom he has conversed freely on the subject of his reminiscences. “I think,” he said, while chatting in his little two-room farm house, “that I know as much about the real character of the great soldier as any man living today, for I saw htm under many different circum- stances and at the closest possible personai range—in the privacy of his own camp life, when ‘off duty,’ as well as in the storm of battle or in conference with his most trust- ed lieutenants. I have again and again gone into the general's quarters at the dead of night to deliver a message and found the sleepless commander calmly smoking and thinking about his own vast plans of military operations. I have seen him on the battlefield when the prospect of Gisaster almost paralyzed officers of high rank, now famous in the history of the war. in his camp Hfe the general was very unassuming and democratic. He was easi- ly approachable and always pleasant and gentlemanly. The most natural and friend- ly manners prevailed about the headquar- ters, and everybody was allowed the fullest liberty consistent with duty. But all mem- bers of the general’s army household had something to do. There were no sinecures about the camp. Not a Judge of Men. “Outside of military matters General Grant was not an infallible judge of men. He did not detect with instinctive readi- ness the designs of political schemers and other self-seeking intriguers who had a hand in the war. The adjutant general was a necessary mentor in this respect, and he stood between the commander and designing men in civilian dress who were constantly trying to secure some recogni- tion from the military authorities. Raw- Ins loved General Grant, but he knew the weakness of the man. He saw that such an honest, direct nature was not a match for the unscrupulous tricksters and greedy place hunters that from time to time came to the headquarters in quest of spoils. “But in all matters relating to the man- agement of the army Gen. Grant was his own counsellor. He would not be controlled by any one in directing a military move- ment. Neither the President, the Secretary of War, Congress, nor public sentiment could ever dictate to this wonderful leader @ policy contrary to his own judgment. “There were no councils of war held at Gen. Grant's headquarters. The com- mander always heard with respect and just appreciation what his subordinates had to suggest, but his own supreme military genius decided every question at last. In this character of self-sufficiency, when re- quired to act in a great emergency, he was certainly a unique man. He knew the value of his associates in the army, and recog- nized a soldier's merits with the most gen- erous readiness, but Gen. Grant, though a model of modesty and gentleness, seemed to discern his own supreme fitness for com- mand. “It was a saying about headquarters that the general had never been known to ex- hibit any angry feeling except on one oc- casion, when a soldier was discovered rob- bing a lady’s wardrobe. He was one of the most imperturbable men I ever saw. Pas- sion seemed to have no place in his life. He could pass through trials touching the deepest emotions in human nature, see ‘the dice of war’ thrown for the greatest stakes of the battlefield, and yet betray to his most intimate associates no signs of ex- citement. Yet, with this great strength of will the man was sensitive and gentle, in- capable of a cruel thought. Those who ever thought that Gen. Grant was unmind- ful of the welfare of his men or regardless of the value of human life knew nothing about the real nature of the man. An Excellent Memory. “He could write the most important order and at the same time carry on a conversa- tion with two or three officer# about other matters. His memory was excellent. I have seen him talk to Commodore Porter and Gen. Rufus Ingalls, chief of commis- sary, about the Mexican wat, while writing orders or dispatches. He never discussed pending military affairs, however. I never saw the general dictate a letter or dis- patch. Nearly all the orders that were is- sued came into our hands just as he had written them. “It was a rare thing to find Gen. Grant asleep even late at night. I suppose no man ever needed less sleep than he seemed to require when directing the operations of the war. I went into his headquarters at all hours, and I can hardly remember see- ing him asleep one time from Vicksburg to Appomattox. He smoked almosj inces- santly. “It fs well known that Gen. Grant was an admirer of gocd horsefiesh. He was an excellent rider, and in the saddle appeared at his very best. The man who rode with the general had to use his spurs. He gen- erally kept his horse at a rapid galt when riding a short distance. “In his estimate of the abilities of the generals of the armies I think it is safe to say Sherman stood first. For John A. Lo- gan he perhaps entertained the warmest personal feelings. His friendship for this brilliant soldier was very pronounced. Gen. Thomas he considered a safe man and an indomitable fighter. Sheridan was one of his especial favorites. He considered this dashing soldier almost invincible. Sheridan was consulting with Gen. Grant when the defeat of his army at Winchester occurred. Galloping away from our headquarters, the heroic officer rode back to his demoralized men to wrest victory out of the hands of the exulting enemy as history has told in one of the popular epics of the war. “Gen. Grant's confidence in Sheridan was strikingly shown by an incident which came under my observation the day of the Winchester affair. On the afternoon of that day I rode out to the hospital tents with the general. They were about a mile from our headquarters. The confederates had made a movement around our left flank and capiured a herd of cattle belong- ing to the commissary. As we rode through the hospital grounds a wounded veteran hobbled out of a tent on his crutches and saluted the general, saying as he did so, ‘The enemy stole some of your cattle today.’ “Yes, but they have paid for them by this time,’ Gen. Grant replied, looking at his watch, as he made the remark. The next morning the news of Sheridan's victory thrilled. the whole army with enthusiasm. Our commander's faith in Sheridan had been prophetic. After Appomattox. “I did not go out to see the surrender of Gen. Lee. It was a great day for all of us at headquarters. Many prominent citi- zens went out to witness the surrender. I got a horee for United States Senator Elihu B. Washburne of Illinois to ride out to Appomattox. I remember the event of Gen. Grant's return to headquarters after the surrender as well as any other incident of the war. I think there were not more than three persons present when the general I: THE LONELY DR.

From the Detroit Free Press, Some very old printing that was brought to light the other day contains curious sug- gestions for making certain calculations that will interest many people. An easy method of correctly regulating a timeplece by the stars is suggested as fol- lows: As the motion of the earth with regard to the fixed stars (those that twinkle) is uniform, timepieces can in a most simple manner be correctly regulated by the stars with greater facility than by the sun. Choose a south window from which any fixed point, such as a chimney, side of a building, &c., may be seen. To the side of the window attach a piece of cardboard having a small hole in It in such a manner that by looking through the hole toward the edge of the elevated object some fixed star may be seen. The progress of the star must be watched, and the instant It vanishes behind the fixed point the ob- server must note the exact time it disap- pears. The following might the same star will vanish behind thg same object three minutes and fifty-six seconds sooner. If a timepiece mark 9 o'clock when the star vanished one night the lowing night it will indicate three minutes and fifty-six seconds less than 9. . If the ‘timepiece be Wter or slower than the indication of thé?titar, then it has gained or lost the indicated difference. If several cloudy nights follow the first ob- servation of the star, it is only necessary to multiply three minutes fifty-six seconds by the number of days that have elapsed since the observation, and the product de- ducted from the hour of the clock indicates the first night clear enough for the second observation, and gives the time the clock or watch ought’to show. The same star can only be observed during a few weeks, for, as it gains nearly an hour in a fort- night, it will ii a short time come to the meridian in broad daylight, and become in- visible. In making the observation, care must be taken that a planet is not chosen instead of a star. Additional to the fact that the light of fixed stars twinkles, while that of Planets is steady because reflected, a sure Means of distinguishing between them is to first watch a certain star attentively for a few nights. If it changes its place with regard to the other stars, it is a planet, since the fixed stars appear to maintain “the same relative positions with regard to each other. ——__-+-e+—___ The Oddest Feature.
