...success, consists in a little apparatus which will reduce the voltage of an electric wire without interfering with the current. Just what is the mechanism by which this result is accomplished can not be announced for the present. It is claimed that it will entirely supplant the motor dynamos which are used in telegraph and telephone companies. The Edison machine now in use costs $100 and Mr. Hogan says that his is so simple that it can be made to sell at $5.00. Experts have expressed themselves as satisfied that the invention will be a success, and it will probably...
...month by some speaker well known in the scientific world. Mr. Clemens Herschel, of New York, will lecture on Roman Acqueducts in the latter part of February. In the latter part of March Francis B. Crocker, professor of electrical engineering in Columbia College, and inventor of the Crocker-Wheeler motor, will speak. His subject will probably be the Definitions of Electric Measurement. These dates are not positively decided, nor the speakers for the other occasions. Engineer-in-Chief Melville of the United States Navy, has been asked to continue the story of the Arctic relief expedition, which he described here...
...with a view to making clear the relation of physical training to the development of quick and accurate motions and of well balanced bodies. The idea is to find out by comparison what sorts of exercise demand as a pre-requisite the most accurate mental aim and the quickest motor response and also what sorts of exercise develope these to the greatest degree. If the tests made show that with tennis, fencing, boxing and football there go varying degrees of quickness and accuracy, tables can be prepared and statistics made out which will be very interesting and valuable. The tests...
...pendulum chronometer and the error of the blow to the right or left of the center, is registered automatically. This apparatus makes it possible to test two qualifications most necessary for a good boxer, fencer, football or tennis player, that is, quickness of sight and accuracy of motor response...
