How Does a Light Engine Draw a
Heavy Train2
BY Prof. ]. D. BUTLER.

The first locomotive was patented
twenty years ago. Driving only one
car, if lightly loaded it did very
well; but when the load it drew was
heavier than its own weight, its
wheels would not 6ite-that is, they
would turn round and round without
advancing Hence q eoW-catGher
was needed behind to guard against
cattle running irto it in the rear. It
seemed at first impossible to make q
less weight move a greater on an up
grade; and, for q years afterWard,
no one invented an engine able to
draw three times its own weight. At
the present day, hOWeve-, locomo-
tives sweep along with trains more
pOnderous by Is or 20 times than
they are themselves. One means Of
gaining this vast increase of power
for the locomotive, was by diUtding
the load. 1t was found, that an en-
CINE poWerless to stir five times its
weight of freight when concentrated
in one car, could readily draw it
when distributed in a dozen cars
loosely shackled together. It was
heavier than each single car; and it
had overcome the inertia of each one,
a moment before it encountered the
inertia of another. It was thus more
than a match for each car taken sing
ly; and, pulling them successfully,
it drew after it a train as long as q
comet, and the farther it ran the
more strength it had to run further.
Here was the story Of little David
over again. Ordinarily the strip
ling's weight, as he told Goliath, was
one hundred and twenty, but when
ever he got mad he s0eigbed a ton.
Moreover, the engine forced the mo-
mentum acquired by every car it had
started, to swell its own potency in
overcoming the resistance Of all that
remained still motionless.
''This railroad achievement (mak-
ing a light engine draw q heavy
train }, ifnot so common would seem
miraculous; and it is analogous to
an expedient for securing a farm
which is equally simple and equally
eficacious. It is this: Divide

settlers have bought of the Burling-

TESTIMONIALS


The following is one of the many testimonials
DIR. Libbey is receiving every day, and fully ex-
plains itself:
My boy, five years old, Vas paralyzed in both legs
some two years ago from severe fit of sickness,
one arm was also useless. We tried a number of
doctors but obtained no benefit from their treat
ment until we consulted DR.. Libbey of Cleveland
at the Ball House, Fremont. He prescribed for the
boy without seeing him, and within seven weeks
after the time he commenced his treatment the boy
could walk comfortably two miles. Tho muscular
action OF the limbs is fast becoming perfect and
his general health constantly improving. We feel
grateful to DIR. Libbey for such Invaluable service
rendered us. Shall always be pleased to recon-
mend any suffering from long standing complaints
10 try Dr.. Libbeys treatment. 1t is harmless thor
Ough and efficient in all such cases. If any one
opposes his treatment it is those that are entirely
Ignorant of of it and its effects or those that are
under the direction of some jealous practitioner
that cannot cure and would put Obstructions in the
way Of one getting well out OF selfish purposes
We shall always be happy to make our statement
in person or by letter TO any one wishing it, and
show the boy as living testimonial in favor of Dr.
Libbey. This is still another case that should ut
once refte the false that Paralysis cannot even in
its worst forms be cured. We have an Occular DEM
onstratlon TO the contrary. JOHN HETRIcK

Railroads as Common Carriers.

The new Railroad law Of Illinois,
among other things, provides that
after July 1st, Railways in that State
shall haul all cars Of a proper con
struction, in good condition and not
overloaded, by WhomsoeYer offered,
and that without discrimination in
any respect. This proposition will
be new to most readers, the pre-
valent idea being that cars only Of
the Railroad Company or such as
the Company may select, can be
transported on any Road.
The Illinois law rests on the as
sumption that Railways are common
carriers, and hence, are bound to do
for ali what they do for anybody.
Inasmueh as most Roads do trans
port the loaded cars Of Freight lines
at stipulated rates, it is held that
they must do the same for others.
As to the fact of the current prac-
tice, it is asserted that there is but
one Road (the Reading, Penn. that
uses its own cars exclusively, every
other one in the country being in the
habit, more or less, of hauling those
of other parties at stipulated prices.
Included in these, are not only tens
ofthousands of freight cars, but also
Express and Pullman cars, which be-
long to parties entirely distinct from
the Railroad Companies. We see it
stated that the Vice President Of the
Toledo, Peoria &5 Warsaw Railroad,
w. H. Cruger, stated two years ago
that the transportation companies
on his line owned their own cars
and paid one and one-half cents per
mile for hauling. His statement was
made under oath.
1t may not be likely that the right
to have loaded cars thus transport
ed, will be extensively improved by
and yet this may be to
such extent as to be very advan-
tageous to many. 1t would seem
that it might be so far done as in
some measure to modify the existing
monopoly Of Freight lines, which op-
crate largely to increase the cost Of
transportation. Good freight cars
can be had for less than 81, 600 each,
and heavy shippers might adVantag-
eously employ a few Of them, as it
is held by the Courts that the Roads
would be compelled to move them at
the lowest rates for which they move
those of others. The subject GER
tainly, is worthy ofseriOus consider
alton by those directly concerned,
while it is a matter in which the en-
tire business public are Interested
Commercial.

DIR. LIBBE1-
Dear Sir: feel it duty owe you as well
as the afflicted, to acknowledge the wonderful
cure you have made in my case. The long
continued sore throat and bronchitis was a
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for a number of years, but since you prescrib-
ed for me feel no trouble there, and have no
fear Of return of the complaint. The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofula consumption
that, think, entirely changed. Ny other
difficulties are entirely cured. Ifpeople only
would give your remedies a fair trial. feel
confident you would benefit all you say you
can. Yours truly,

MIR. Banks then moved to suspend
the rules and take up the Fishery Dill,
having first accepted the amendment
offered; by Mr.. Buffinton, providing
that the act shall not take effect until
the LIST of January, and shall not apply
to any articles therein mentioned which
shall be held in bond on that day by
the custom officers of the United States.
The motion was agreed to and the
previous question seconded.
Mr.. Banks opened the debate in its
favor. 1t was a bill to give effect in
part to the provisions of the Washing
ton Treaty. He gave the history OF the
fishery question from the colonial to the
present time, and said that as on the
part of England and the Dominion of
Canada everything incumbent upon
them under the Treaty had been per
formed, it was now the duty of the Uni
ted States to carry out its part of the
agreement.
Mr.. Conger of Michigan opposed the
bill in the interests of the lake fisheries.
The Canadian fishermen were allow
ed to sell their fish in the American
markets, OH an equality with Americans,
while the latter had to pay large duties
on their seines. gilly nets, cordage, etc.
The result would be that American fish
ermen could he undersold i'll their own
markets. He admitted that the bill
filled the provisions of the treaty. and
therefore he wished the treaty itself
should never be carried into effect. He
also opposed the bill in the interest of
the carrying trade of the great lakes
and of the st. Lawrence river. which
he said. would he all swept away by
this law.
Mr.. Cox of New York asked whether
by this bill fish would he made cheaper
to consumers?
Mr.. Comger could not see that il
would. American fishermen could
catch and sell fish as cheap as the Ia
nadians. but the materials the Ameri-
cans used were heavily taxed. and par
ties ON the other side refused to let
them have their materials free of duty.
Mr.. Willard of Vermont also opposed
the bill. He did not believe the treaty
! making power ilid any authority over
the tariff, and the treaty did undertake
to regulate the tariff on fish. If it
conld d" 50 it could regulate the tariff
on iron. lead or wool or any other COM
modify. The bill struck ii death blow
at American fisheries.

AmuSenentS.

Most people agree that we need some
amusements, but differ widely lis to how
much or what kind.
Murray in his lecture on "My Creed
tells us to settle it between our own
consciences and our God, for to him
alone we are accountable for what we
are. If our conSciences will allow lis to
play whist, attend the opera, dance,
etc, we have right to enjoy these
amusements.
Eminent christian men who listen to
Murray say this is dangerous doctrine,
for though some may be able to engage
in these amusementS without harm to
themselves, yet others cannot, and we
are accountable to God not alone for
what we are, but also for what our
influence is-as if our influence ever or
could he something different from what
we are.
1t seems to me if consciences were
what they should he Murray's criterion
would be sure one.
He assures us that if our experience
teaches us that any amusement is not
hurtful to us physically, morally or
spiritually, we may safely engage in it.
Methinks the question should be not
alone-are these things hurtful to us
but are they helpful Do they serve
the true purpose of relaxation from toll,
OF recreation and rest? Do they, by
toning and invigorating, tit us the
better to do our life work of serving
God and our fellow menu
Do they leave lis in better moods for
cOmmuning with God and make our
hearts more susceptible to divine influ-
ences7 In short do they draw us
heavenward And we may he sure if,
10y giving rest from toll, and bringing
physical and mental vigor, they help us
to rise higher, that our influence will
he all right.
This looking forever after ones infiu-
ence is like always looking behind us to
see which way our foot tracks point
AS if we could be headed northward
