Barnum & Bailey’s *‘Greatest Show on Earth” is to exhibita Duryea motor wagon through the country r.ext season. James Fancher, an expressman doing business between Bridgeport and' West- port, Conn., wants to substitutea motor wagon for his present equipment. George W. Miller & Co., of 1¢ Farms 5 West | oad, New York City, have an order | it. The boats are therefore able to carryl on account of said rigid connection it is practically impossible for the boats to be overturned. The steering wheel js between the bows water crait. The driving wheels are pro- vided with paddles, which are attached to a h‘;(\lp, so arranged that the spokes of the wheels'both aid in holding the paddles in place and also in holding them in the water. These attachments may also be removed from the wheel very readily, The wheels are driven by treadles form- ing a chain and sprocket wheel gearing | the same as now used on bicycles. Thus | it will be seen that this device is propelled | and managed with the same mechanism | whether it moves in one element or the | other. In this vehicle the traveler may carry his baggage and travel recardless of floods of bridgeless streams, and the sportsman may take his hunting or fishing tackle | and select his shady nooks or pools where the wily finnies most conzregate and in- vite them to his tempting bait, or the | fowler may secure his game within the hold of his capacious boat and derive ad- vantages and pleasures which no other single mechanism has yet offered. The whole device when completely rigged, without load, weighs from sixty to eighty pounds, and is capable of consider- able reduction from this weight.

C. and Patrick Calhoun, two well known New York capitalists who ar zely interested in the Euclid Heights property, a fine suburban allotment near | eland, Oh1o, are about to introduce a ine of motor stages to run from the center the city to the suburban site. The ve- hicles, which will be six in number, will be of the Roger type, specially constructed for the purpose, and will carry from ten to fourteen persons each. James Kans.,, has built a motor thrashing machine, propelled and operated by a 16- horsepower gasolene motor. This machine is built upon much the same pian as an | ordinary steam ashing machine, The motor is under and between the large | drive wheels, and motion is transmitted from a coewheel to the outside machinery by ac and sgvmcken It doesnot re- quire_as many _h: machine successfully asa steam thrasher does, and the great saving of fuel is another strong point in its tavor. It has been thoroughly tested in practical opera- tions this fall, and a company has been organized to put the “‘Hockett gasolene ction engine” upon the market.—The Horseshoe Age. On Land or Water. Thore J.Olsen of Chicago has entered the field of 1nvention by producing a vehicle adapted to both land and water ! travel, sa; the Horseless Age. The lan? mech sm consists of three wheels, & ranged in the usual tricycle form, slightly modified, however, in the connection and construction of its wheels. from the axle of the driving wheels is a pair of twin boats, of which the forward end is carried by a yoke from the steering post of the front wheel. These boats are connected together rigidly, but may be detached from the Lricflcle in a moment | them. by opening ciasps whic! to_the axle.

The inventor has many letters from | would-be patrons in all parts of the world. New Wave Motor. William E. P. Rose of Angel Island is the inventor of an apparatus for convert- ing the ceaseless, arbitrary movement of the waves of the ocean into continuous ro- tary motion. The amount of power it will produce will depend altogether on its size, to which, apparently, there is no limit. As in most wave motors, the power is generated by the rise and fall of suitably arranged floats. In the Rose machine there are two floats, to each of which there is a rod attached that extends upward to alever. Tkere are two of these levers, both naving the same shaft for their ful- crums. On the end of this shaft there is a ratchet wheel and on each of the levers is a pawl made to engage with it. It will it turns the shaft a corresponding dis- tance in & certain direction and when the other lever falls it turns the shaft in the same direction. As it is hardly possible tbat both floats would move in the same direction at the same time it follows that the rotary motion must be almost con- tinuous. A heavy flywheel on the shaft force that may occur through some erratic condition of the sur- face of the water. An ingenious arrangement on the float rods makes the machine self-adjusting to ger to the machine in case waves should rise to an unusual height. This is accom- plisted by aseries of teeth in the end of | the rod and a pawl that engages with When the rod reaches a certain | gaged. allowine the rod to ascend without straining the machine. A similar arrange- | ment, only working in an obposite direc- tion, allows the float to sink when the tide falls and still continue to do its work with the same length of stroke. WAVE-POWER DEVICE. | olive-green It is intended that the machine shall be erected with the line of the two floats ex- tending across the breakers. The floats will be fastened between metal columns, ich will allow free movement of the waves and also prevent any lateral motion of the floats. If a series of these machines were arranged side by side and connected to the same shaft there is no reason why they shouid not produce a continuous rotary motion in one direction. A Serpent That Devours Serpents. The ophiophagus or serpentivore of In- dia and adjacent countries—a reptile that is especially interesting to zoologists by reason of its great size, powerful venom, ferocity and habit of feedingon its own kind—is thus described in an illustratedar- ticle in La Nature, by M. P. E. Juillerat: The wisdom of nations, whose observa- tion nothing escapes, has formulated this famous adage, “Wolves ao not eat each other,” in the 1audable intention of dem- onstrating that among animal. only one who lives at the kind. But the observation of nature has played havoc with this adage, as with many others, and the creature that we are about to describe is one of those that give | | the rudest check to the old sentimeatal formula. The savants call it ophiophagus, other people the serpentivore; the names are synonymous and both mean ‘‘serpent- eater.”’ The Ophiophagus elaps or serpentivore is then a serpent—and a very venomous serpent—that }:cdson serpents, More than this, its huge length, reaching four yards, makes it the giant of venomous serpents, and its venom, which is extremely | powerful, yields in nothing to that of the most famous species. F It may be understood that the combina- tion of such remarkable qualities has struck with admiration the men that have had opportunity of observing them. So it is not surprising that the Hindoos gave it the title of “King of Serpents.” When the serpentiyore, they say, needs food, he be- takes himself to a clearing, raises himself up with inflated neck, and whistles in a peculiar fashion. Soon, from all.points of the forest the serpents, who understand this summons, come gliding up and range themselves before their monarch, and devours it. The surviv done their duty, then retire mility, as befits submissive subjects. Be this as it may, the Ophiophagus elaps | is one of the most splendid and most per- | It is of an | fect of venomous serpents. hue, with white and black markings of remarkable brilliancy. At the slightest warning it raises the anterior portion of its body, inflates its neck, and hisses powerfully. Its huge length, its sparkling eyes, its briliiant colors, make it a creature of truly formidable appearance. Add to this an extremely active venom, whose quantity corresponds to the great length of the creature, and the terror that it inspires may be imagined. Finally, and this is the most serious fact of all, the ophiophagus is not only the most powerful of venomous serpents, it is without doubt one of the most warlike. | Far from fleeing man like most reptiles, it The Serpent-Eater. attacks him, pursues him untiringly, and is undeterred by any obstacle, since this redoubtable monster adds to an uncom- mon degree of agility the facuity of swim- ming with great speed and of climbing in the twinkling of an eve up the highest trees. Cantor tells the story of an English officer who was chased by an ophiophagus and, on the point of being overtaken, owed his safety onlyto a trick. He let fall his hat and, while the snake fell with fury on this inoffensive prey, he was en- abled to gain a safe retreat. Nicholson re- lates that he saw an_elephant, bitten by an ophiophagus, die in three hours. Done on Bicycles, TLast year it was stated that a trick bicyclist had ridden his wheel backward from London to Brighton. He did not turn the machine around but sat with his face toward the reur wheel and the handle bars accordingly behind him, In 1887 a couple of Englishmen, ani- mated by a queer mania for the odd, rode their wheels down to Dover and then took a boat over to_Goodwin Sands at low tide. They then proceeded to ride their wheels along the sand as close to the water’s edge as possible and after thus riding on a por- tion of the earth where no one had ridden before, calmly went back and had tea. In the early days of the wheel one man made two or three trips on a 96-inch wheel, who | chooses the most toothsome, falls upon it | | ing at last found something upon which to | the head of the ant is removed the mandi- | bles do not relax the grip they secured in | Wounds so treated heal rapidly and with- had nothing left but to howl at the police for having interrupted the sport. Some years afterward—namely, in October, 1891—he rode down the full length of the same steps on a solid-tired bicycle. Another freak was accomplished for a smail bet and might easily have cost the rider his life. During October, 1887, a member of an Amer-‘can team of bicyclists then making the tour of England rode the front wheel of his bicycle along the wall of the north pier, Aberdeen. This wall was twenty-five feet in height and twenty | inches in breadth. The feat was one of exceptional daring and skill and was cer- tainly of a character to endanger the life of the adventurous rider. There was a boat in attendance below ready to render any assistance in case of need. Luckily, however, there was no hitch of any kind and theadventurous feat wasaccomplished in a very short space of time, On the fol- lowing ‘day the same rider repeated the | performance in the presence of about 300 | people. Evidently he was prepared for | failure, because he dressed himselfin light | racing costume, which would have in- | commoded him but little kad he obtained an involuntary immersion. This daring | freak had its origin in a wager of £5. | Machine for Serubbing. The latest invention for lightening the labors of the housewiie bas been patented by Jonette Cowgill of Ottawa, Kans. The general appearance of the machine is much like a carpet-sweeper, and it is intended to be used in the same way—by being rolled over the floor. £ Mr. Cowgill's invention is a complicated one, and the user would have to be some- thing of a mechanic 10 keep it in order. The principal vortion is a tank for con- taining the water or soapsuds with an adjustable faucet to discharge them on the floor. On the outside of this tankisa spring mechanism that must be wound up beforethe machine will work. Itconnects with a shaft that bas a cogwheel fixea to it and is arranged to rotate a series of brusnes under the tank. That portion of the shaft that passes through the tank is made to move a num- ber of mops arranged on an endless belt. They pass under the shaft and then upward throuch a set of wring- ers that remove the surplus water. From there thevy pass over a shaft and down to the floor behind the brusbes and sop up the water they have left. The mops then pass into the tank again, and are rinsed then under the shaft and through the wringers again indefinitely. To use the machine it is only necessary to fill the tank, wind up the spring, open the faucet and push it across the floor. Ants Used by Surgeons. In the Levant the Greek surgeons find the ant a valuable aid in their operations, and almost universally employ the busy little creatures. The ant they use is a big, Ants Used by Surgcons. strong fellow, much larger and stronger than the ants we are accustomed to seeing here. They have particularly large and | strong mandibles, which make them of | value to the surgeons, who use them in holding together the sidesof an incised | wound. & The Levantine surgeon never goes out to attend an ordinary case without having a few ants tucked away snugly in some safe place about his person, He produces his knife and his ants at the same time, and the patient regards the knife with horror and the ants with satisfaction. Having made the cut, the surgeon next selects an ant from his collection. These ants are vicious fellows and are fierce fighters among theirkind. For that reason the surgeon handles them with a pair of forceps. When the forceps close over the -ant he beeins to struggle at once. As he fights with his mandibles they are thrown wide open. The ant will close them on the first object with which he comes in contact. With his disengagea hand the surgeon dr: the edges of the wound to- gether. When they have been properly arranged he places the ant near the cut. The ant, eager for fight, is ready to seize anything. The surgeon holds ‘it down close to the edges of the wound, and the powerful mandibles grip it on either side. The surgeon holds the ant thus for a couple of minutes, while the insect, hav. vent his anger, gets a firmer grip. When t has secured a good, strong hold it gives up its life for science, because the surgeon very promptly cuts off its head. When the edges of the wound before death. out any further difficulty to either patient or surgeon.—Chicago Chronicle. To Spray Trees und Plants. The invention of Joseph H. Potter of Batavia, N. Y., should prove of the great- est value to all tree and plant growers. It is a combination machine adapted to all kinds of work. Its construction is such that it puts the spraying compound just where it is wanted without wasting any. The machine is simplicity itself. Mounted on a two-wheel truck is a tank for holaing the sprinkling compound. In the rear of the tank is a pump that can be used to get up pressure and also to force the spray directly on the trees. In front nll th:m{;k is a handle on the end of which the spraying nozzles are attached. The supply pipe runs along the top of the han- dle and is so arranged that the nozzlescan be changed and adjusted without inter- fering with it in any way. This machine can be used to throw the spray on the trees by hnndhn!z like an ordinary hose. By taking bold of the handle the operator can direct the stream in any direction, as the two wheels of the truck will roll around behind him. The machine can also be used to spray small plants. To do this it is only neces- sary to set the end of the handle on the ground and roll the truck between the rows of plants. The front end of the han- dle is in toe form of a shoe that will slide easily through the soil, and the nozzles can be aajusted to throw the spray out toward the sides and in any quantity de- sired. New Marine Torpedo. Louis F. Johnson, Walter J. Slack and Howard Lacy, all of Easton, Pa., are the inventors of a novelty in the marine tor- pedo line. It is sureiy a simple contriv- ance, and would relieve the officers and crews of warships of considerable work. All there is to it is a combination of a ) A4y R {M(/f P nuniodindiy torpedo shell and an electro-magnet placed in its prow. The idea is that when the affair is loaded with dynamite and thrown overboard it will at once be attracted toward the nearest steel or iron vessel. The force generated by the moving mass will be sufficient to explode the dynamite at the moment of contact. The excitement of the electro-magnets is also intended to be sufficient to work a small motor that in | turn will causea propeller wheel to revolve | and thereby increase the speed and force of the torpedo. Novel Centerboard Arrangement. William King of New Orleans, La., has patented a vessel that appears to be nearly all centerboards. The inventor's idea seems to be to be able to adjust his center- boards according to the tack he is on. There are three wells in the bottom of the craft. One is in the center and the others placed on the port and starboard sides, respectively. Within the center well the main center- board is located. Thisisarranged to carry two cther centerboards that are tongued into it fore and aft. so that they can all three be used atone time or they can be used independently. The port and star- board centerboards are so arranged that they can be used independently or in con- junction with the othersin the center well. here are enouch ratchets, pawls, pulleys and cranks about the contrivance to drive even a sailor to distraction. These center- boards can be put into any form of boat and can be steered by any sort of a rudder. Niagara Power Enlargements. Recently the third 5000-horsepower generator has been erected in the central station of the Niagara Falls Power Com- pany, making the total capacity of the power-house at the present time about 15,- 000-horsepower. This is to be increased by the addition of seven more generators, each of 5000-horsepower capacity, which will bring up the total capacity to 50,000, or one-half the total capacity of the tail- race tunnel. It is believed that means will be adopted of placing the additional generators to be erected down in the big wheel pits instead of the surface power- house, as at present. This method of erection would save the expense of the 138- feet shafts which now connect the turbines with the generators. To Make Skirts Stand Out. Mary J. Colver of Frankiort, Indiana, has come to the aid of her fashionable sis- ters who have trouble to make their dress skirts stand out comme il faut. Of course those who can afford the fine fabrics wili have no use for her invention, but it will The Pnt.ent Skirt. make the thinnest kind of goods lie in the most perfect pleats, a feature that will surely be appreciated by a great many. The inventiongconsists of a_skirt with a seriesof ribs run through it in such man- ner as to give the desired shape. Itcan bs made for as many pleats as are desired, | and they can also be made in any degree of tullness. Between each of the pleats in the underskirt there are a series of hooks, or other fastenings, that are made to fit into corresponding eyelets in the dress skirt. When tbe pleats are thus held in place they will be as firm and smooth as if lined with tin. The front portion of the undergarment is of any desired material and can be trimmed with ruffles to suit the taste of the wearer. A Microphone to Measure the Velocity of the Wind. A novelty in modern scientific research, by means of which the velocity of the wind may be measured by the sound it produces in a wire, has peen called to the attention of the National Academy of Science by Professor Barus. He asserts that the whistling of the wind as it crosses a wire varies with the velocity, and that this can be computed from the pitch of the note observed for a eiven didmeter of wire and given air temperature. A micro- SPRAYING DEVICE. phone attachment can be made to convey the sound, isolated from other noises, to the observer at a distance. Thus every gust and variation of the wind can be studied and an idea of the actual direction of the gust can be had by means of the sounds obtained from three wires placed at right angles to each other. Substitute for Horse Hair. Of late years the dwart palm, so abund- ant in Africa, has been profitably utilized | by French artisans, the leaves, it is stated, | furnishing 50 per cent of a fiber which is | extensively used as a cheap substitute for horse hair, according to the following | process: The fiber is extracted either by hand combing or by means of drums with needles and knives worked by steam power. The green fiber is twisted or curled in its raw state and finds several applications. The black sort is at first dyed in batns of sulphate of iron and Jogwood, then twisted and again dyed. This fiber, ic is alieged, pos- | sesses two advantages over animal figer. which have led to its extensive employ- ment, it being exempt from insect destruc- tion and some 75 per cent l:ss expensive | than horse hair. There are, it is said, large works in Algeria, where the leaves are bought in large quantities, and the | fiber cleaned on a commercial scale. In Oran one factary prepares daily some sixty bales of 200 pounds each. In an- otber, by a particular process, a firm pre- pares the material black and brilliant, without smell or dust, at the rate of fifty tons per month. As material for the coarser descriptions of paper it has also proved serviceable. Varlous Notes. cent lights operated from the prompter’s box are used to give the signals for the cues. The Westminster Gazette says: Yester- day in Liverpool an inquest was held on a laborer named Hayman, who had been en- Raged in painting the tanks of the steam- | ship Servia with bituminous paint. The men had to work alternately at the job in consequence of the foul air or fumes from the paint in the tanks. Hayman hada ! naked candle, and by some means the | fumes from the paint became ignited and he was badly burned. The foreman took ' steps to rescue him, but an hour and a half elapsed before this was effected. Hayman was terribly burned and delir- | ious. Several men gave evidence as to the | effect of the fumes given off by the solu- | tion, which made them drunk or delirious, | and unless a man was accustomed to it he | could not tolerate the fumes more than a | few minutes. The jury found that Hay- man died from burns accidentally re- ceived, and added that lights used in simi- | lar tanks should be protected. Itis expected that Sir William Martin | Conway’s expedition to Spitzbergen will | occupy altogether about three months. The arrangements are not settled yet, but | 1t is probable that the party will leave | England early in June, and return at the end of September. This practically im- Elies the period of the year during which pitzbergen is open to the sea. A good deal of interest attaches to the expedition, for at present the interior of Spitzbergen is no$ well known to us. ‘We hear, says Invention, that an enter- prising firm, by name Messrs. Heidsieck, are very anXious to negotiate with some one who can hinder champagne corks from absorbing the wine. Many improve- ments, it is said, have been made in corks during the process of champagne manu- facture, but we hear that the firm is so anxious to obtain the ideal article that they offer 100,000 francs, equivalent to £4000, for an invention of thiskind, which, however, must be simple as well as ef- fectual. It is suggested that the drying of fruit, which requires great care and a certain regulation of the temperature, offers a promising field for electric _heating. Fuel for beating by steam is often expensive, but fruit districts usually have abundant water-power that could be used for driving dynamos. The electric current would prove serviceable in a variety of ways, in addition to heating. Slight tapping of the forehead over the nose and eyes with a rubber hammer is | the remedy provosed by Dr. Schnee for in- cipient colds, with heavier tapping in chronic catarrh. The first contracts the blood vessels, and the second dilates them and favors a secretion of mucus. The French, as a Nation, are in advance of other peoples in_their application of chemistry to food. Many people cannot drink chocolate at a'l but are able to eat it with no harmful resuits. The French recognize that chocolate, like bread, re- | quires for its assimilation the chemical | action produced by mastication. Ina London theater colored incandes- | The little school cnildren there may be seen enjoying their daily lunch of bread or | rolls and a bar of plain chocolate. Professor Hajak of Vienna has declared that those who smoke are less liable to diseases of the throat, such as diphthena, than non-smokers in the ratio of one to twenty-eight. 1t is known that smokin; is positively forbidden in bacteriological laboratories because 1t hinders the aevel- opment of bacteria. In horses, says Our Animal Friends, the pulse normally beats forty times per min- ute; inan ox from fifty to fifty-five times and in sheep and pigs it beats seventy or eighty times 2 minute. It may be felt wherever a large artery passes over a bone. In the horse, for instance, it is usually felt in the bon?; ridge above the eye, or on the cord which passes over the bone of the lower jaw in front of its curved position. The beating of the heart may be felt in cattle over the middle of the first rib, while it is ascertained in sheep by placing the hand on the left side. Any appreciable variation from the number of beats given above may justly be regarded as a symp- tom of disease. If the pulse is rapid, hard and full it is an indication of inflamma- tion or of hich fever; if rapid, but faint and not easily felt, loss of blood, weakness or low fever are indicated. If it is irregu- lar heart trouble is probably the cause, while brain disease is usually accompa- nied by a slow pulse. The pulse is a relia- ble index of the health of an animal. NEW TO-DAY.
