BORED BY BRAINS. HOLE DRLLFD THROUGH A BOARD BY MENTAL EFFORT. Electric Wizard’s Workshop- Electricity to Run Railroad Trains Between Big Towns and Cities- How to Make Bananas. From the New York Herald. “I enu make you think a holo through a half-inch board," was the rather startling remark made to a reporter. The speaker was Edward Weston, of Newark, one of the leading experts in elec tricity of the world. “Well,” replied the reporter, “I. have heard of a man who could talk the ears off „ bronze statue, but your idea goes way be yond that. What is the trick l" “No trick at all,” said Mr. Weston. ‘‘l ani iu sober earnest. I will convince you that the mere mental effort needed to solve, for instance, a mathematical problem, can lie list'd siumltanoousiy to drive a motor that will bore a hole through a board.” “Is this another Keely affair?” asked the doubting reporter. “I see I shall have to convince you by ac tually performing the experiment/’ said Mr. Weston, “so come out and spend the after noon at my laboratory.” ALADDIN’S PALACE. The invitation was accepted, and the re porter spent not only the afternoon, but most of the night, with Mr. Woston, who lias long been electrician for the United States Electric Lighting Company, but who was recently released from connection with that company by the expiration of his con tract. MrWeston has fitted up in the rear of his place, at Newark a laboratory for the pur pose of scientific experiment and research, it is a veritable Aladdin’s palace, having been created by the “slaves of the (electric) lamp,” and having as many magical appur tenances as ever the genii could boast of. Entering the physical department, Mr. Weston produced two thermopiles. A ther mopile is a device for generating electricity direct from heat. It consists of bars of dis similar metals placed close together, alter nately, so that a section cut through the thermopile would resemble a chess board, one metal representing the black and the other the white squares. These bars are in sulated from each other, except at alternate ends, where electric connection is made. The application of heat at once excites an electric current in the thermopile, as was shown to the reporter by several experi ments. “Now,” said Mr. Weston, “I will connect two of these thermopiles by this wire. They are connected in opposition, so that as long as the same amount of heat is applied to each they will neutralize each other, and there will be no electric current to run this electric motor, which is in the circuit. But if one is healed more than the other the greater current will overpower the lesser, to use a commonly understood way of express ing the result, and a current will pass to the motor “I place one thermopile in this dish, sur rounded by water, which I keep exactly at the normal temperature of the blood—9B.s°. Of course that would excite a current, but I neutralize that current by placing the other thermopile in contact with your tem ple. You see, the two thermopiles now counteract each other, since the same de gree of heat is applied to each. Now, take a problem in mechanics and solve it. Are you ready? TACKLING A PROBLEM. With a thermopile pressed against the starboard lobe of his alleged brain, and enough wires and other electric appliances close at hand to send him to Lucifer if he refused, the reporter intimated his willing ness to attack a problem, If it were only a little one. “All right. Now, suppose you drop a stone down a coal shaft and hear it strike bottom in five seconds, how deep is the shaft? Remember, s=vt, and and you can a110w*1,142 feet per second for the velocity of sound.” It is hardly necessary to say that the re porter struggled with that, problem with an energy born of despair. He quickly forgot all about the electric experiment, and was bent upon reconciling the conflicting de mands of the time of the stone’s downward flight and the time of the upward flight of the sound made by its striking the two in tervals equaling five seconds. Suddenly he was aware of a buzzing in the motor. It began to spin faster and faster until he lost interest in the problem, when it began to slacken speed. “Ah!” said Mr. Weston, “stick to your mechanics or you deprive the motor of power. You must keep up your mental exertion if you want to bore that hole.” Thus adjured, the reporter struggled with the mechanical and algebraic difficulties of the case, until, having got utterly muddled with v and g and t, he couldn’t have told whether the shaft was 50 or 500 feet deep. He made a valiant struggle, nevertheless. A PROMISE KEPT. As his supposed brain wrestled with the problem the temperature of his head in creased and the thermopile in contact was, of course, heated above its twin, which re mained at the normal blood heat. As this difference in temperature generated ah electric current, which current ran the motor, it was evident, that the latter was being driven practicably by the reporter's efforts to solve the problem. And as the motor, with a loaded flywheel, carried a fine drill on its axis the piercing of a piece wood by the drill was easily accomplished, long before there was the least prospect of the depth of the coal shaft being discovered. Thus Mr. Weston had literally kept his promise of making the reporter “think a hole through a half inch board.” Further experiments only added to the reporter’s uncanny suspicions as to the com pany he was in. Mr. We6ton has not the appearance of a dealer in the black art, but certainly he would havo been burned at the stake had he lived in Salem two hundred years ago and done what he now does. AN UNPARALLELED LABORATORY. His laboratory is not exclusively devoted to electricity. It consists of four distinct departments—mechanical, physical, chemi cal and experimental. Scientific men who have seen all the chief laboratories of the world, say that there is no Oihqr in this country which is at all comparable to Mr. Weston’s, except the one at Cornell Uni versity, and even that locks something of the completeness with which details have been provided for by Mr. Woston. Passing through the chemical department, the reporter’s unscientific interest was at tracted to a small vial containing a sub stance of a beautiful reddish pink. Some how ho was drawn toward that particular bottle, with an aching desire to smell of its contents. “I wouldn’t, if I were you,” said Mr. Wes ton. “If you want a case of catarrh worse than you ever dreamed of or imagined, you might take a sniff or two there. Not ordi nary, every-flay catarrh, you know, but a Rood all- winter-and-next-suinraer affair. “Now, here is another sweet odor. One slight smell of this bottle would render you instantaneously insensible and make you in capable of moving for a long time. No, It’s not. deadly, except in very largo quantities, nut it is a most clangorous compound. USEFUL IN WARFARE. “It could be used upon a man asleep, without rousing him to consciousness, and no would he regarded, to all intents and pur poses, as a dead man while its effects lasted. II it were usod in warfare a whole ship’s company could bo instantly prostrated,help less and unconscious, by the oxplodou of one shell loaded with it o’n the vessel’s deck. It is very cheap, indeed, and I should not be at all surprised to see it used in war.” “What is itf" “It is nitrate of amyl, and if you want to get a little of it, just, catch a bedbug; they wnell just alike." “Have you any other agreeable specialties in the way of smell*?” aeked the reporter. “Well, here is one, but I cartt let you smell it. This is cacodyl, and it kills, not on sight, but on smell. It is t,sul)ho-organic compound with arsenic, and it aso is very cheap. A whole army could bo killed oif by a few shells full of it. If wt coine to that—and n small .State might resort to it if threatened with invasion by a large one —we shall very nearly put an erd to war.” “Your laboratory is very lx>atiful, very complete ami very scientific. Mi. Weston.” said the reporter, “but couldnt you find something more agreeable to stew me than these suggestions of Chinese methods of warfare!” “Well, how do you like this?’ queried the scientist as he uncorked under the reporter's nose a big bottle with an almost colorless liquid in it. The odor was like that of a plantation ripened banana—one of the kind that the St. Domingo darkies like to cut “just at de full o’ de moon”—the perfection of banana in short. “Now, that is acetate of amjl,” continued Mr. VV eston, “and if all the banana planta tions should give ou I could make a very r~* imitation of bmeuias out of corn starch and that liquid.” “Holy smoke!" said the reporter. “I’ve heard of artificial eggs, and if you can make artificial bananas I’ll believe the egg story. What’ll you make the skins of?’’ HOW TO MAKE BANANAS. “Oh! that’s easy. Here is a substance that is tough and cheap and it can be easily moulded into the proper shape. Then the corn starch filling can be poured in and the banana is ready ter sale. This stuff for the skins is merely common cotton, saturated with sulphuric and nitric acid—gun cotton,in fact—dissolved in a mixture of ether and alcohol, and the solvent then evaporated. It becomes then aasolid, resembling fine white horn, very tough; the toughest sub stance known. It can be shaved into sheets of the proper thickness and the banana peel color can easily be given." As the reporter had eaten bananas at Mr. Weston’s lunch table that day he began to have grave doubts. Even the Havana cigars offered him in the library had a sus picious look. What if they’ were manufac tured out in that dreadful laboratory, too? The whole place was uncanny. Electricity was “on tap,” so to speak, everywhere. He didn’t dare to wipe his feet on the innocent looking door mat, because it might be merely a battery in ambuscade. Sure enough on risking an encounter with a very commonplace scraper, a couple of brushes sprang out by electricity and cleaned off the Jersey mud in no time. Doors opened when one approached them, and mysteriously closed when ono had passdd. There was no gas—only incandes cent lamps, and it was not necessary to go near them to light them. Standing in his hall Mr. Weston lighted up every room in the house successively. ELECTRIC RAPID TRANSIT. ‘‘l have solved the question of travel by electricity,” finally said Mr. Weston, “and I am now building an experimental motor. There will, of course, be improvements in deviaes, but there is nothing further to be done in principle. That is complete and leaves no question that we can travel be tween New York and Philadelphia, drawn by an electric motor as rapidly and safely as by steam power, and more cheaply. There is no guesswork about my assertion. It is so certain that I stake my professional reputation on having the trains running as soon as the patents are granted, the roads ready to make the experiments and the motors built. Of course I cannot now make public the principle, but I may say that it differs from any of the existing methods of operating electric motors on railway lines. It is not merely a scientific possibility, but a practical, commercially available and economical solution of the problem of elec tric railway motors.” Mr. Weston's reputation as an expert in electricity gives to his assertion a value that will be readily recognized by other scientific men. He is peiflmps even better known in Europe than hols in' this country, owing to the recognition there given to the indi vidual, while here his personality has been overshadowed by the company whose suc cess depended upon him. Park Benjamin, the well-known scientific ex;Wxt, when questioned concerning the nmir-Lje made by Mr. Weston, said: “If Weston says the thing is a certainty, it is a certainty. He is the most accurate man in things scientific 1 know. He will never declare a thing a success—no matter how promising—while in the experimental stage; bnt when he says he knows a thing he does know it positively.” WEATHER PREDICTIONS. The Work of the Signal Service for the Past Year. Washington, Oct. 17.—The annual re port of Gen. Greely, Chief Signal Officer, is made public. The report says: It is intended to make careful experiments the coming vear with homing pigeons, and the Chief Signal officer has directed that expert mentis be made from Key West toward Cuba, with the expectation based upon the opinion of experts, that by training these birds in nights from the seaward a United States squadron in the vicinity of Ha vana might be enabled to communicate rapidly and certainly with the naval station at Key West. If such flight is possible from Cuba, it could be eventually extended to the windward islands and even to Nassau. The increase in the length of hours in the daily indications has resulted in a reduced percentage of verifica tion. Through restrictive legislation the Chief Signal Officer finds himself compelled to permit new officers to serve, their apprenticeship in pre dicting at the expense of the whole country. It has occurred, as might be expected, that novices in the work at times made erroi-s that subjected the service to criticism, which, while well merited in such cases, cannot Is: considered valid criticism of the methods followed by the service. The general percentage of successful in dications during the year have been: For weather, 74.5; wind, 69.1; temperature, 74.4, a general average of 73.5. The result is not satisfactory to the Chief Signal Officer. Reference is made to the discontinuance of the West Indian service and its renewal is suggested in order that notice may be given of approaching hurricanes. During the year tnere have been 1,050 storm signals of all kinds ordered, of which 1.034, or 68.5 per cent, have been verified. This percentage is the lowest for years. The bureau has in view the early display of signals which will not only indicate whether the storm is to be light or severe, but also to show whether the winds are to come from a special quarter, and, a matter at times of great importance, whether the storm centre is approaching or has passed the station. Caught an Eagle at tho Masthead. From the Kingston Freeman. Robert Burley, of Rondout, is a sailor on the schooner Isle of Pines, of this port. One afternoon recently, when off New London, Burley saw an eagle alight on the topmast of the* Isle of Piues. The actions of the bird showed t hat it had come a great way and was tired out. Burley waited until night, when he climbed the rigging to tho topmast. The eagle was fast asleep. Burley grasped the bird by the legs. It showed light, and tore the flesh on one of Burley's arms in several places with its talons, anti it also attacked his head and face with its strong beak. After a struggle Burley, bleeding from numerous wounds, reached the deck with his captive. The eagle measured about five feet from tip to tip. Burley has sent it to his brother, Henry Burley, here. “Rough on Bile” Pills. * Small granules, small dose, big results, pleasant in operation, don’t disturb the stomach. 10c. and 25c. “ " "T" 'Buchu-Palba.” Quick, complete cure, all annoying kid ney, bladder and urinary disetises. sl.
