Fireless Locomotives.

When the London Metropolitan Under
ground Railway first went into operation,
il was supposed that the traffic would new
or require the running ~ more than three
trains per day. But here arr now forty
per hour. and consequently much COM
plant Is made regarding the defective ven
iilatiOn. The EHginetr proposes TO
remedy the evil by doing away with the
locomotive furnace aud generating al con-
venient points. by means of stationary
Siemens furnaces. sufficient amount of
steam to carry the train through. Two
methods 81 carrying this scheme out In
practice suggest themselves: either the
pressure carried in the boiler. 10 begin
with. must be 80 great that Ia falling TO
the working pressure sufficient sensible
heat will be- available for conversion into
latent heat. or enough water must be car
ried to supply all the steam required. al
though the pressure falls only few
pounds. Under the first system the boiler
pressure would be- say foar hundred
pounds on a square inch. but "A reducing
valve would be provided by which steam
of say more than one hundred and twenty
pounds would have reached the cylin-
der. The pressure would fall probably 10
one hundred pounds during a run. and
then the boiler would be again supplied
with water. and the high pressure again
attained AZ the stationary furnace. prepare
tory 10 another run. But II, Instead OF
uSinga very high pressure. the quantity
of water were augmented. the action and
method Of working would BE- the same.
Provided not more than ten minutes
were required 10 raise steam. the Engineer
SAYS that the scheme could be applied
without difficulty. At each terminus Of
a tunnel there would b. arranged Siemens
furnaces with some slight notifications.

is poorly represented, as yet. On in
quiring we learned that the policy Of
the managers to give Diplomas instead
of cash premiums has had a tendency
to keep the exhibition in this depart
ment back. Such should not be the
case, but undoubtedly is. The man

not pay off daily wages. The fact is,
the people of this day and generation
are somewhat like the followers Of
Cortez, of whom he said that they had
a disease of the heart that nothing but
gold could cure.
RACES.
The first race to-day was single
dash of a mile, in which three entries
were made: Tom Merry, Bill Gird
and Vallandingham. Tom Merry won
the first premium and race in l:5514.
Bill Gird taking second premium.
Next was trotting race, two in
three, for three year olds, The entries
were, Meteor, East Portland Belle
and the mare Rose. Meteor won the
first heat in 3:101a. and the second in
300, East Portland Belle taking the
second premium, Rose being distanced.

To-day appearances are favorable
for the pecuniary success of the Fair
at least. The show OF articles in the
Pavilion are good, in fact equal if not
superior to former Fairs, in point of
excellence, but falls short in point of
numbers, less than five hundred arti-
cles having been entered up to 10
o'clock. However, applications are
still being made and the number will
doubtless be increased considerably.
THE ADDRESSES.
Were delivered to-day, in the circus
pavilion. The Opening Address was
nearly through with when we arrived
on the ground, therefore we are only
able to speak of the latter half Of it.
When we arrived he was speaking of
the productiveness Of the soil, which
will produce twenty crops in succession
without apparent injury. lie wanted
to know why our land was worth only
the rental value of lands in England.
He said we were oppressed by rings
and monopolies-if such were not the
case, our farmers would be able to
carpet their houses with Brussels. Al
luded to the farmers movement, and
how Friedlander, the Wheat King,
had been Illustrated by it. Regarded
concentration Of movement in the flu
ture of vital Importance. Our river
was now lying idle. Reliable gentle
men say that 100000 viii carry boats
to Corvallis the year round. Could
soon save that amount by the decrease
of excessive rates now charged. Was
proud to be numbered among the farm
ers. His address was well received,
so far as we heard.
He was followed by Mr.. A. J. Dufur,
who delivered the
AGRICULTURAL. ADDRESS.
Mr.. Dufur said that he was known
to be a practical farmer Spoke ofthe
supreme Importance Of the farmers
movement and the farming element.
Gave much practicable advice to farm
eYs in regard to their business. Told
them to diversity industry--plow mere
land and less acres. Raked the pro-
tessional gentlemen who deliver agri-
cultural addresses, and can't tell the
difference between a horsechestnut and
a chestnut horse. Gave good advice
to farmers sonS-in short was full OF
practical advice. We are unable to
give a correct synopsis Of the address,
owing partly to the fact that there
was so much noise OH the outside of
the pavilion and to that other fact
that the speaker spoke none ofthe loud
est nor plainest.
THE RACES
To-day caused no little interest, and
there was probably more wagering on
them than OH any previous day.
The first race was mile heats, three
in five, for which there were three
entries-Buckskin, Lodesse and Tom
Merry. I.odesse won the first, fourth
and fifth heats, winning the race and

Where Lies the Difference.

We find in late number OF the 1Mcfi-
can Agricu'turalist,i a paragraph which
brings out SO clearly what we conceive to
be the ground Of difference between the
adaptability of the various breeds of sheep
to the wants of the farmers, that we reprint
it: ts5- boa
My own opinion is, that farmer who
has been accustomed to Merino sheep, and
who docs not expect to raise more than rs
lambs from 100 ewes, had better have noih-
ing to do with Cotswold, Leicester or South
down sheep. The poorest Mcrino sheep
he can find, provided they are healthy, will
be best adapted to his mode of treatment.
When he is prepared to give better feed
and more care, he should get some improv-
ed Merinos; and if he keeps on improving
in his general system of management he
will in time be prepared to keep still still
more artificial breed of sheep, and will at
length succeed with Cotswolds or Licesters.
Whether it will pay to keep sheep that re-
quire so much more care and better feed
viii depend entirely, on the demand for
mutton, lambs, etc. HESSsuFs .SI
Some of the COtswOld breeders are disposed
to expel me from the party for entertain
ing such n0tiOns-Or rather for publishing
them. i am not afraid of the truth hurting
this splendid breed of sheep. To me it is
encouraging rather than otherwise that
these high-bred sheep are not adapted to
''roughing it' on the cheap lands and vast
prairies and plains and mOuntain-sidesz of
the far West. If such was the case, the
best thing we could do would be to pull up
stakes and take our flocks out there. But
depend upon it that Merino sheep will do
better in such sections. Our Merino wool
will be raised on these cheap lands, and the
long combing wool, good mutton and early
lambs viii be raised in the better farmed
and more highly cultivated parts of the
country, In fact, I do not see how those
of US who live in the older settled wheat
growing sections of the country can keep
up the fertility of our farms without keep
ing more stock. And we have to decide
between dairying,s or beef, pork or sheep
growing. I think we shall feel the compe-
ton from The West in the production of
pork, beef and fine wool, for some years,
more than in carly lambs, good mutton,
and combing WOOL? To raise the latter to
the best advantage, we need clean, dry,
highly cultivated land-or precisely what
is needed to produce renumeratiye crops of
winter wheat. The more mutton we pro-
duce the more wheat shall we grow per
acre."
