NEW ELECTRIC LAMP SOCKET
Practically Eliminates Any Danger of

NEW STYLE OF MOTORCYCLE
Dry Battery Concealed under Seat
Eliminates Gatling Gun-Like Ex
haust—Runs Easy.
Motorcyclists who object to the
trouble of starting the gasoline-driven
cycle, or to its gatling-gun-like ex
haust, will welcome a new type of
electric motorcycle which is being in
troduced, and which, it is claimed,
will run from 75 to 100 miles on a
single battery charge, start instantly
on the turn of a switch, and run abso
lutely without noise.
The motor, which is located under
the seat, drives the rear wheel by
means of a chain and sprocket wheels,
and is connected to the three-speed
controller which provides for speeds
of 4, 15 and 35 miles an hour, says the
Popular Mechanics. TJae six-cell, 12-

volt battery is suspended in the lower
.part of the frame, and any of the
standard types may be used. The mo
torcycle has a 51 inch wheel base and
weighs complete about two hundred
pounds.
Gases Analyzed.
Sir J. J. Thomson say that by means
of the positive electric rays the gases
present in a vacuum tube can be
chemically analyzed, fed this analysis
will show not only whether an ele
ment, say oxygen, is present, but also
in what form it occurs, and whether
there are allotropic modifications,
such as ozone, present. In practice
the rays are subjected simultaneously
to the influence of electric and mag
netic fields, and the deflections are re
corded photographically. By this
method much smaller quantities of
matter can be detected than by the
present chemical methods, and tran
sient phases in the processes of chem
ical combination are revealed.
Searchlights in Battle.
One would suppose that powerful
searchlights wcjuld illuminate fields of
battle best by night, in order to dis
cover and bring in the wounded. But
experiments in France prove the con
trary. They are of small benefit, be
cause the slightest obstruction —such
as a house or slight Irregularity on the
earth’s surface—will create a great
cone of shadow, within which nothing
can be seen. The best device tried so
far Is the individual acetylene lamp,
carried on the backs or in the hands
of the hospital corps when going over'
the field with their litters.
Leg Exerciser.
A new electric appliance which has
been patented has the object of giving
exercise to th# legs similar to that se
cured by walking. The purpose is to
benefit patients who are confined to
bed for any length of time. The feet
of the patient are attached to the ap
paratus, the motor set in motion, and
without any muscular effort the pa
tient receives all the benefits of walk
ing.

PROGRESS MADE IN ORIENT
Augustus D. Curtis Tells Electric
iClub of Advance Made in Elec
tricity in Far East.
"The advanced stage of electricity
seen in the orient was one of the
greatest surprises I ever had, espe
cially the progress noted in Japan.
Even in remote places seldom reached
by tourists we found electric plants
with the most modern improvements,
and, though the machinery was most
ly American make or American type,
the orientals had mastered all of the
details of operation.”
This statement prefaced an address
made by Augustus D. Curtis at the
Electric club’s first fall meeting, held
at Chicago the other day. He recent
ly returned from an oriental trip.
“Being an electrician and interested
in electricity,” said Mr. Curtis, “It
was only natural for me to Investi
gate the progress made in these coun
tries, and it is truly wonderful. In
America opticians and illuminating
engineers only recently have worked
out the problem of indirect lighting—
that is, the system of reflection from
the lamp to the ceiling and then down
—and imagine my surprise to find
much of this lighting in the orient,
especially in the larger cities of Ja
pan.
QUITE USEFUL ON SILK HAI

RECORD KEPT BY TELEPHONE
Phonograph so Arranged That Corfver
sation Over Wire May Be Repro-
duced When Desired.
A reproach which has often been
raised against the telephone is that
it leaves no trace whatever of the con
versation transmitted. Thus, a tele
phone conversation can never figure in
a law suit. It is not surprising, there
fore, that for some time past efforts
have been made to devise an appar
atus by means of which a permanent
record can be kept of the words
spoken over the telephone, and the
phonograph has often been thought
of in this connection. According to
a note reproduced in La Nature from
L’Elettricista, Prof. P. Perrotti has
just scored a success in this direction.
The telephone receiver is composed of
two loud speaking telephones; one of
these is furnished with the usual
mouthpiece; the other is connected
with the vibrating membrane of a
Pathe phonograph. The current re
quired for this telephone is a little
greater than for ordinary installments.
The phonograph record can be made
to reproduce the speech in the usual
manner.

BOY CARRIED OFF HONORS
Inquisitive Person Probably Still Is
Looking for Information That
He Didn’t Get.
Every one who has lived in a small
town knows the type of person gener
ally detested there for his inquisitivve
habits. That even children delight in
thwarting the purposes of such a per
son is shown by an incident related by
a New Englander.
A woman in a New England town
wished a friend to share her cider
vinegar and sent her nine-year-old son
to deliver it. He returned quickly, his
face wearing a satisfied smile.
“Mrs. Brown was much obliged, ma,
but I met Mr. Parker just after I got
there. He said, ’Hullo, sonny! I won
der If you’ve got molasses in that jug?’
and I said ‘No, sir.’ He said, ‘Got
vinegar?’ and I told him 'No, sir.’
“At last he said, ‘Well, that’s a jug
in your hand, ain’t it?’ and I put my
jug on the ground and said, ‘No, sir.’ ”
Precise.
The proofreader on a small middle
western daily was a woman of great
precision and extreme propriety. One
day a reporter succeeded in getting
into type an item about “Willie Brown,
the boy who was burned in the West
end by a live wire.”
On the following day the reporter
found on his desk a frigid note ask
ing, “Which is the west end of a
boy?”
It took only an Instant to reply—
“ The end the son sets on, of course.”

IT IS CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR
Think of the suffering entailed by
heglected skin troubles —mental be
cause of disfiguration, physical be
cause of pain. Think of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
tial to happiness and even success in
life, are often only a matter of a little
thoughtful care in the selection of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor complexions, red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little, that it is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap

GOT THE LETTERS MIXED
•
Clergyman’s Mistake Resulted In Giv
ing Decided Surprise to Digni-
fied Archbishop.
One of the most amusing stories
which the Hon. Lionel A. Tollemache
tells In "Nuts and Chestnuts,” is that
entitled, “The Wrong Envelope.” Mr.
M , a missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters —
one from Archbishop Tait asking him
to dine, and the other from the secre
tary of a religious society, a very old
friend, asking him to preach. He ac
cepted the archbishop’s invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary, but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: “Mr. M ,
do you always answer your dinner in
vitations in the same way?”
“I do not understand, your grace.”
The letter, which was then shown to
the missionary, ran thus: "You old
rascal! Why did you not ask me be
fore? You know perfectly well that
I shall be on the high seas on the date
you name.” —London Tit-Bits.

The views were extremely interest
