A Fearful Swing-.
The "shaftmen" at our collieries are
selected for their physical strength and
pluck, in addition to the skill and prac
. - i i i i - i- . . -
iicai auowieuge requirea ior meir partic
ular work. The incident we are about to
relate will show how severelv the former of
these qualifications may at times be tested.
The work of these men is confined to
the shaft of the pit,and consists mainly in
repairing the "tubbing" or lining of the
shaft, stopping leaks, or removing any
obstructions interfering with the free
passage of the cages up and down the pit.
The coal-pit at N has a double shaft,
divided by a "brattieing" or wooden par
tition. These divisions we wiil call A
and B. Two cages (the vehicles of trans
poit up and down the pit) ascend and
descend alternately iu shaft A. At a cer
tain point the shatt is widened, to allow
the cages to pass each other, and their
simultaneous arrival at this point is in
sured by the arrangement of the wire
ropes on the winding-wheels over the
pit-mouth. The oscillation of the cages
is guarded against by wooden guideis
running down each .side of the shaft,
which lit into grooves in tho sides of the
cage.
On one occasion, during a very severe
frost, these guideis had become coated
with ice, and thus their free passage in
the grooves of the cages was inteifered
with. Before this obstruction was discov
ered, the engine having been set in mo
tion, the downward cage, which fortu
nately was empty at the time, stuck fast
in the shaft before arriving at the passing
point. The ascending cage, whose only
occupant was a small boy returning to
"bank," proceeding on its upward course,
crashed into the downward cage in the
narrow part of the thaft, where of course
there v, as only a sn-gie passage. Though
the shock was something teirific,the 6tecl
rope was not broken ; as the engiueman,
whose responsible position entails the
greatest presence of mind and watchful
ness, had stopped the engine on the first
indication of an unusual tremor in the
rope. Yet such was the violence of the
meeting that botli cages, though strongly
constructed of iron, were bent and broken
in fact rendered useless by being thus
jammed together in a narrow space. The
greatest anxiety was lelt as to tho late of
the boy, as it was teen that even it be
had escaped with lifts after such a severe
crash, his rescue would be a work of great
danger and difficulty.
He may imagine the horror of the poor
little fellow while suspended in the shat
tered cage over a gulf some four hundred
feet deep, both cages firmly wedged in
tho shaft, and the ropes rendered useless
for any means of descent to the sceDe of
the catastrophe. Tho readiest way of
approach seemed to be by shaft B, the
position ol which wo have indicated
above. Down this, then, a shaftman
A TrecAgreut Treed.
Tho July Scribner contains the con
cluding installment of Mr. F. R. Stock
ton's droll "Rudder Grange" sketches,
which are to be published in book form
in the fall. One of the incidents of this
last sketch is quoted below. The pro
prietor of Rudder Grange, returning from
a ride with Euphemia, his wife, finds a
tramp in one of his trees and a tree-agent
in auother near by, with his savage dog.
Lord Edward, plying between. Tho fol
lowing scene ensues :
"This one," said Pomona, "is a tree-
man
whom we will call Johnson, descended in
a cage until be arrived at an opening in
the brattice-work by which he could
cuter shaft A. He found himself (as he
supposed) at a point a little above where
the accident occurred; and this conclu
sion he came to from teeinsr two ropes
leading downwards, which ho naturally
took to be those by w hich the cages were
suspended. Under" this impression he
formed the desigu of sliding down one of
the ropes, with a view to liberating, if
possible, the entaugled cages,, and secur
ing the safety of the unfortunate boy.
The hardy fellow was soon gliding
through the darkness on his brave and
dangerous erraud. He had descended
about forty feet, when, to his horror and
amazement, his course was suddenly
checked by a bend iu the rope; and the
terrible discovery flashed upon him that
he was suspended iu the loop of the slack
rope, which here took a return course to
the top of the downward cage.
It will be understood that when the
descending cage stuck upon the runners,
as the rope continued to unwind from
the pulley it hung down in a loop, de
scending lower and lower, until the en
gine was stopped by the meeting of the
cages. This loop or "bight" wa3 natu
rally mistaken by Johnson for the two
ropes, and he dia not discover until he
found Inmseit in the tearful situation de
scribed, that he had entered through the
brattice into shatt A below instead ot
above where the cages were fixed. There
he hung, then, over a yawning abys3
many fathoms deep closed from above
by the locked cages all below looming
dark and horrible.
None of course knew his danger; his
hands were chilled by the freezing rope;
his arms, already fuilv exercised, began
o ache and stiffen with tho strain and
ntense cold, added to the bswildering
sense of hopeless peril. Good need there
was then that pluck and endurance be
found in the shaftman! His square,
sturdy frame and unflinching spirit were
now on their trial. Had his presence of
mind gone or his nerve failed he must
have been paralyzed with fear, lost his
hold, and been dashed into an unrecog
nizable mass.
But self-preservation is a potent law,and
working iu such a spirit, he framed a dcS'
perate plan for a struirele for life. The
guiders running down the inside of the'
shaft are fastened to cross-beams about
six feet apart. Johnson hoped that if he
could reach' one of these he might obtain
a footing whereon to rest, and by their
means clamber up to the opening in the
brattice-work. How to reach them was
the next question that flashed lightning
like through his brain. This he essayed
to do by causing the rope to oscillate
from side to tide, hoping thus to bring
himself within reach of one of the cross
beams. And now commenced a fearful
swing. Gaining a lodgment with cne
knee in the loop, he set the rope swing
ing by the motion ot his body, grasping
out wildly with one hand each time he
approMched the tile of the shaft. Once,
twice, thrice, lie felt the cold icy face of
the "tubbing," but as yet nothing except
slimy boards met his graso, affording
no more hold than the glassy side of au
iceberg. At last he touched a cross-beam,
to which his iron muscles, now fully
roused to their work, held on like a vise,
lie soon found footing on the beam
below, and then letting go the treach
erous rope, rested in comparative security
before beginning the perilous ascent.
With incredible endurance of nerve and
muscle he clambered up alongside the
guider, by the aid of the cross-beams,
and by thrusting his hands through the
crevices of the timber. In this manner
he reached the opening in shaft B, where
in which he had descended was
Chilled, cramped, aid frozen.
and barely able to give the signal, he whs
drawn to the pit-nmuth prostrnte and ex
hausted. Tl.e boy was rescued unhurt
by a man being lowered to the top of the
cages m shatt A. Johnson sunered no
ill consequences, and though a hero above
many known to fame, he still pursues
his hardy task as a shaftman; while be
neath the homely exterior still lives the
pluck and sinew cf iron that did not fail
him even in his fearful swing. Cham

"I should think so," said I, as I caught
sight of a person in gray trowsers stand
ing among the branches of a cherry-tree
not very tar from the kitchen door. The
tree was not a large one, and the branches
were not strong enough to allow him to
sit down on them, although they sup
ported him well enough, as he stood close
to the trunk just out of reach ot Lord
Edward.
"This is a very unpleasant position,
sir," said he, when I reached the tree.
"I simply came into your yard on a mat
ter of business, and finding that raging
beast attacking a person in a tree, I had
barely time to get up into this tree my
self, before he dashed at me. Luckily I
was out of his reach; but I very much
fear I have lost some of my property."
"No, he hasn't," said Pomona. "It was
a big book he dropped. I picked it up
and took it into the house. It's full of
pictures of pears and peaches and flowers.
I've been lookin' at it. That's how I
knew what he wa9. And there was no
call for his gittin' up a tree. Lord Ed
ward never would have gone after him if
he hadn't run as if he had guilt on his
soul."
"I suppose, then," said I, addressing
the individual In the cherry-tree, "that
you came here to sll me some trees."
. "Yes, bit," said he quickly, "trees,
shrubs, vines, evergreens everything
suitable for a gentleman's country villa.

"Yes1," said Pomoaa. "I seen them in

to get down out of the tree.

I slowly walked toward the tramp-tree,
revolving various matteis in my mind.
We had not spent much money on the
place during the winter, and we now had
a small sum which we intended to use
for the advantage of the farm, but had
not yet decided what to do with it. Ic
behooved me to be careful.
I told Pomona to run and get Pie the
dog-chain, and I stood under the tree
listening, as well as 1 could, to the tree
agent talking to Euphemia, and paying
no attention to the impassioned entreaties
of the tramp in the crotch above me.
When the chain was brought, I hooked
one end of it in Lord Edward's collar,
and then I took a firm grap of tho other.

Blindly Grop!ng
For some medicinal alcohol reuscltant of
physical energy which 6hould take the place
ot the heady and frequently adulterated
stimulants of commerce, the medical practi
tioners of a quarter of a century ago were
electrified ou first observing the reviving
effects upon the system of a tonic then re
cently introduced, but which has since be
come the noit popular medicine sold on this
continent, viz: Ilostcttcr'a Stomach Bitters.
Tbeir astonishment and admiration were in
creased when experience farther disclosed
that this botanic remedy effected results
which the mineral druffs of the pharmaco
poeia often utterly failed to produce, among
others, the permanent restoration of viftor,
theremoval of digestive, secretive and evac
uative irregularities, and the eradication and
prevention of periodic fevers. Speedy recog
nition of the merits of the Bitters by unpre
judiced and enlightened physicians naturally
followed this revelation of medical facts,
which have since received such frequent and
positive confirmation.

dividual to get down from his tree. He
promptly oJLeyed, and, taking the book
from Pomona, began to show the pictures
to Euphemia.
"You had better hurry, sir," I called
out. "I can't hold this dog very long."
And, indeed, Lord Edward had maoe a
run toward the agent, which jerked me
very forcibly in his direction. But a
movement by the tramp had quickly
brought the dog back to his more desired
victim.
"If you will just tie up that dog, sir, '

In a second the ajjent was on the other

dash toward him: but, stopping sudden
ly, Hew back to the tree of the tramp.
'It vou should conclude, sir," said the
tree-agent, looking over the fence, "to
have a row of those firs along here "
"My good oir," said I, -'there is no row
of fiis there now, aud the fence is not
very high. My dog, as you see, is very
much excited, and I cannot answer for
the consequences it he takes it into his

The tree-agent turned and walked

Freedom of Misd. We call that mind
free which is not imprisoned in itself or
in a sect; which recognizes in all human
being3 the image of God, and the rights
of his children; which delights in virtne,
aud sympathizes with Bufferings whenever
they are seen, which conquers pride and
sloth, and offers itself up a willing victim
to the cause of mankind. We call that
mind free which is not passively formed
by outward circumstances; which is not
the cre-iture of accidental impulse but
which bends events to its own improve
ment, acts upon an inward spring from
immutable principles which it has delib
erately espoused. We call that mind free
which protects itself against the usurpa
tions of society ; w hich does not cower to
human opinions; which feels itself ac
countable to a higher law than that of
fashion; which respects itself too much
to be the slave of the many or the lew.

The Stiles Rotary Engin9.
We illustrate herewith a new lorm of rotary
encine recently patented through the Mix
ing and Scientific I'kess Patent Agency by
W. C Stiles, of San Francisco. The'arrane
mcnt is such that both tho force and expan
sive power of the steam can be exerted to
drive an endless chain or belt, provided with
suitable pistons which pass through the
cylinders, and thus produce a rotary motion
of the pulleys over which the belt pusses, and
from which the power may be taken.
As shown by the engraving, the engine
consists of two horizontal cylinders mounted
upon a suitable frame. At each end of the
cylinders Is a peculiarly constructed pulley,
or wheel, around which travels an endless
steel belt or chain, which passes through the
cylinders, and which is proviJ d with pistons.
Thestj wheels are provided with recesses in
their rims, which serve the double purpose
of providing a seat for the pistons on the end
less belt while they are passing around the
pulleys, aHd also for preventing the belt from
slipping on the wheels. The endless belt
passing around these wheels has pistons at
tached to it at regular intervals so construct
ed and packed that they will fit 6nugly in the
cylinders. One cylinder being placed above
the other, the action of the steam on
one cylinder is in the reverse direc
tion to its action in the oilier. The
cylinders consist of simple tubes, in
side of which the pistons fit closely,
being provided with proper packing
to make them eteam tight while pass
ing through. At one eud of each cylin
der Is a steam chest provided with a
cut-off valve and eates. These gates
are operated by an automatic slidiug
bar, a cam motion being given to a
lever from the wheel upon hLh the
belt travel, to open the gates of ihe
cylinder at the proper itistunt to allow
the pistons lo eniar. .icri us ttiey cu
ter, the gates close bel iad them, mak
ing a steam-tight compartment, und
the steam being admitted by tl.e same
action, the piston U forced through
the cyliader, the other end of which
is open, a continuous rotary motion
of the pulleys thus being maintained.
One piston is going through one cylin
der as the other is going through t he
other in an opposite direction. The
pistons are so arranged lhat one is tak
ing a lull head or steam, while the
other is running on expansive steam.
ihe exit or each piston allows the
steam to escape freely, leaving
no back action whatever. As the
endless belt expands when heated, the slack
is taken up automatically by having one of
the pulleys set on a slitting carriage.
Mr. Stiles has one of these engines, an ex
perimental one, now at work in tho basement
of the Cosmopolitan hotel, corner of liush
and Sansome streets, San Francisco. This
has two brass cylinders five feet lonsr by thrct
and one-fourih inches bore, the pulleys being
three feet three inches in diamcjer. Mr.
Stiles states that this iudicates 15 horse
power, running 300 feet per minute under
10 pounds of steam. The endless chain is
25 feet long, and is really a linked piston rod,
passing through suitable stuffing boxes in
gates.
Anengineof this class can be moved at
any time there being no heavy bed frome,
hut simply good strong framework. The
inventor proposes to build one with two
cylinders 20 feet long, 10-inch bore, to run
400 feet per minute, the whole engine lo
weigh about four tons. Steam may be cut
off at any desired po'nt and allowed to work
expansively the rest of the way. By this
means the full force Of the steam can be util
ized, there being no opportunit y for any back
pressure whatever. By the"peculiar construc
tion described, a rotary steam engine is pro
vided in which the full expausive force of the
steam can be utilized, and the difficulties
heretofore encountered in the prnctical work
ing of rotary engines are avoided.
As to the advantages claimed by this style
of engines over the reciprocating engines the
inventor makes the following points : "That
for instance in a small reciprocating engine
of three, to six inches bore of cylinder the
length is live, six or eight inches, and there
is a certain amount of back action every lime
the pistons go from one end of the cylinder
to the other; hence in running the distance
of 10 feet there would be 0 back actions.
Now by taklug the lowest back action laid
down by the ablest w riters, 3 per cent, has
been lost every six inches run, which in 10
feet run would amount to just 3 per cent, of
the whole power. Every time the piston
moves from one end of the cylinder to the
otlier the valve is opened to let the steam in
and then closed; the valve to lft the steam
out is also opened and closed. This requires
the moving of these valves twice each lime
the piston moves six inches, making or tak
ing power 40 times in 10 feet. There is also
loss when cutting on" steam in this class of
encines, and in the crank motion and power
required to run a large fly-wheel."
In this new rotary encine there is no back
action of steam. The cylinders may be made
of any desired length to 40 feet and upwards
The power is always given off at full lever
age and pound for pound secured, less the
friction. The steam ports and gales are
moved but four times in going the length
of a ten foot cylinder, or any length of
cylinder, while they are moved 40 limes ia
troing that far in a small reciprocatiusr
engine, as above referred to. If there are
any leaks lhey may be remedied at once.
Tho steam may be cut off at any point and
works expansively to Hie end of the cylinder.
The exhaust may pass off up the pipe, shown
in the engraving, on top of one end of cylia
der, or may exhaust into a case containing
the tully.
In marine engines, for which tbe inventor
considers this one specially adapted, heavy
bed plates and working beams are done away
w ith, and there is no extra lrn and bracing
required to strengthen the vessel. The
first cost alono would be a ereat saving. '
say nolhintrof the economy of working. The
i engine is well adapted to any kind of work.
A company called the " Stiles Hercules tu
trine Co.," has . been formed to manufacture
these engines, and further Information may
he had from the inventorat the Cobmopolitau
hotel. Scientific Press.
