Persons disposed to call in question the easy-riding qualities of nuton.oMks have their opinions disputed by the fol lowing from Automobll-W'e'.t, as trans lated for Popular Mechanics: "There Is the motor in the front of the machine, with Its easy, elastic vibra tions. The vehicle Itself swings with It, but so softly that you don't notice it un less It stands still. When going, these vibrations actually reduce the shocks from a rough road, which, with a horse drawn wagon, hit the body suddenly and harshly, throwing It from one side to another, hard and rude, even If the wagon hns good springs. The motor vehicle has not only good springs, but SrKAK3 LOl'DER THAN WORDS.

Hence, a short o.iiUnatlou Is permissible, says liie NVw York Tribune. 1 It nmy be txplaincd, to begin with, that Ihc "h'cf be'icflt comes from a mul tiple r.:!.n of pulley? If only one pull"y to used, there may bp somo increase of convenience, but nothing Is gained In power. Suppose, for Instance, thnt from a point above end outside an open win dow le peruied a finale pulley, over which a ropfl Is run, so thnt both ends touch the ground. Let a heavy object be attached to one, nnd let a man pull down on the other. If the object weighs more than the man, he cannot start it. It it weighs less, he can. For every one foot of descent at his end, the attached burden will ascend exactly the nmedls tance. The lifting force exerted on It 1s equal to the pulling force at the other end; that In, theoretically. 'This ney be a handler way to mnm ie the load then if the man was up In the window and tried to lulso the nunc load by a rope r.uiniuj ii FOR LIFTING HKAVY LOADrf. straight downward to the latter. Dut, after all, theie is no gain lu power. Now Imagine a different arrangement that show n In the diagram. Suppose there are two pulleys, one above and one below. Let the weight (W) be attached, not to tho end of ttio rope, but to the block containing the lower pulley. Let one end of tho rope be secured to tho lower end of tho upper block, and put tho other end (P) In the man's hands. Willi these two pu'.Uj 3 he can rsiisc near ly twice tla own weight. To Kft t'ic load one loot he must pull two fett of to i.e. and ho must work twice as Ion;; as bo fore. In all mechanical devices of this sort, what is gcined in power must be compensated by extra time and diautnee. For the sake of simplicity, the draw ing shows only a slngla pair of pulloys. one In each block. It often happens that there are two or three pairs, two or thrco pulleys in each block, but only one rope being used. Such an arrangement gives much more pow er. A single pair doublca (or nearly doubles) the power, two pairs will quadruple It, and three pairs will multiply It sixfold, or nearly so. With four pulleys, two In each block, tho man must pull down four feet of rope to rabje the weight ono foot; and with six pul leys, three lu each block, he must pull down six foot to lift it the same, distance. Allowance must be made for the fric tion of the pulleys In their bearings la the blocks. No matter how good tho construction there must be some loas of power from, that cause. Possibly this Item may be small, say, not over one tenth or ono-tweutieth of the power ex pended. Still, It must not be overlooked. The foregoing principles apply equal ly, whether the power applied at P be de rived from a man, horse or a steam en gine. The advantage comes from a mul tiplication of pulleys, and what Is gained In one way is lost In another. For load ing and unloading steamers the block and tackle has the added convenience that It may be suspended from the end of a moveable boom, which may bo swung first In one direction and then In the other. Thus lateral ns well ns vertical transportation Is made possible. This othcrconvenience, however, results from the boom, or denlck, not from the block and tackle. CAN PLANTS REASON? Prof. Hhaler Tblnka They Have Some lutuinueiice uud (aivea lleuiuui tur 11U Oiilnlou. That plants have intelligence is main tained in a theola by Prof. Shaler, ol Harvard university. After discussing the aul jmat a, he says: " Wc may accept Ulu statement that our higher Intelli gence la but the Illuminated summit ol man's nature as true, and extend it by the observation that Intelligence !a nor mally uuccosi loui, und appears- as con. bclc.ua only alter Infancy, in our waking hours, und not always them." In sum ming up the professor ues the follow ing sentences: "Looking toward the or ganic world In the manner above bus gesitad, seeing Hint au unprejudiced view of life affords no warrant for the mo tion that aut'-iinaU anywhere exist, trac ing aa wa may down to the lowoBt gra.lr of the animal series what Is fair evl donee to actions which we have to be lieve to be guided by some form of in telligence, seeing that there la reason to conclude that plants are derived from tho same prlmltlye stock as animals, we are in no condition lo say that intelli gence cannot exist among them.
