AFFAIR ON THE B. & 0. r. R.-The Balti-
more Gazette says: Last evening, upon the ar
rival Of way train at the Mount Glare depot
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, two men
we're found lying in one Of the closed cars, one
of them dead and the other IN an lnScnslblc
condition The latter was removed to the
Western Police Station by officer Lerb, where
by the application Of proper remedies the man
was restored to consciousness when he stated
that his name was John Joyce, a lsborer in the
employ of the B. 4 0. R. r. Co., engaged at a
point between Woodstock and E'ysvile, and
that he had been hurt about one OF the legs by
the falling of large stone, and was placed IN
the Car with the understanding that he was to
be sent to the Lombard street lnfrmary tor
treatment He added that the dead man S
name was George Semper, brakeman in the
employ of the railroad company, who had been
run oyer and badly hurt at Woodstock, and was
also placed in the car for removal to this point
Joyce says that Semper was in great agony
during the trip and was apparently dying, but
the heat was so intense, the car being closed,
that he tainted, and he supposes Scmpcr died
about the time of arrival here, as he was alive
shortly before No one was particularly In
charge of the men, so far as could Re ascer-
tanned, and the agent at Mount Clare knew
nothing Of them being in the car until their
presence was accidentally discovered.

\ NEW FUEL AND A NEW MOTOR. 1t has

4 NEW FUEL AND 4 NEW NIoToR-It has
been reserved fer the distinguished engineer
CAPTAIN Ericsson to supply new fuel in the
place of coal, and a new motor in the place of
steam. His device is az novel in conception as
it promises to be astounding in result. La bllef,
hisscheme is 10 COLLECT and concentrate the radl-
ating heat OF the sun, and to use it tor the pro-
luction of motive power. He feeds his lur
mace. 50 to speak, from the sun. This motor
he calls the solar engine.
The first public announcement Of the success
OF this extraordinary device-for solar en-
gioes," kept in motion solely by the suns ra-
diant heat, have been actually constructed by
him and successfully operated--was made by
CAPTAIN Ericsson to the Swedish University of
Lund at its late centennial celebration. From
his communication TO that body it appears that
for several years this engineer has been cxperl-
menting with the view OF so concentrating the
SUMS heat as to obtain from it practical motive
power. At length at the beginning OF the
present year, he was able to construct three
''solar engines of which, the first was drl7-
en- by steam formed by the concentration OF
the heat of the solar rays, and the other
two bv the expansion OF atmospheric air
air heated directly by concentrated radiant heat.
lie SHOWS tnat Sucn IS tnC enOrluouS uCFeloP-
ment of solar heat that an area of ten feet
square on the suns surface will drive "a real
steam engine of IS, 9S4 horse power, demand
ing consumption of more than 100, 900 pounds
Of coal every hour" But, of course, interest
ing as are these new studies of the suns heat
ing power, his statistics regarding the possible
concentration of the suns heat on the earth's
surface are still more so. Aud, without going
into the process, VIC may briefly say that Cap
tain Ericsson's experiments show that the con-
centration of solar heat on ten feet square Tor
100 square teet of suriace) developes power
exceeding one horse power. IT, therefore, he
adds, Swedish square mile were covered with
these solar engines, '64,S00 engines, each OF
loO-horse power ~ could be kept in motion by
the radiant heat OF the sun thus collected.
The audacity of this enterprise and the in
calculable reach of its results are alike bcwilder-
ing; but it is already, as we have said, a prac-
tical success, insomuch that Mr.. Delamater,
proprietor of the wellknown Delamater Iron
Works, declares in late scientific publication
that "before the termination of the present
season bread will be prepared from -four gr9uod9

A CHILD WITHOUT a HEAD. In the vlcn-
ity Of Spoon river, in Illinois, is a child which
was born and has lived five years without a
head. Mrs. - the mother is the widow OF
soldier, formerly living in Marshall county,
who enlisted in the sixty-ffth OR Scotch rcgi-
ment, and was killed at the battle of Deving
ton, No. She was standing beside her hus-
band during the engagement, when cannon
ball carried his head completely away, his body
falling into her arms ard covering her with
blood The shock affected her greatly, and
when, in seven months afterwards, her child
was born, there was not the semblance OF q
head about it. The limos were perfectly de-
yeloped, the arms long, and the shoulders
where the head and neck should be, smoothly
rounded off.
But the most surprising thing Of all is that
the face is situated in the breast. Of course,
there being no neck, the power OF turning It's
head is wanting, except as the whole body IS
moved but this difficulty is overcome by the
