GARDEN GROVE, Iowa, July "a, 1876.
1. Please inform me why it is that steam
is not more extensively used for applying
the brakes on cars-especially freight cars
2. Is there any other kind of brake used
besides the steam brake and the kind most
commonly used on freight carse 8. What
wages do newspaper reporters generally
get? A. E.J.
Ans.-1. There is no such thing as
steam brake. The patent power brakes in
use are the atmospheric, of which there are
several, the hydrostatic and electric. The
last has thus far proved failure on account
of it's complications. The other brakes are
all worked by means of pump which is
operated by steam. The atmospheric brake
will not work satisfactorily on over twelve
cars, from the fact that the air cylinder
into which the air is pumped cannot be
made large enough to hold sufficient to fill
more than the twelve small cylinders, one
under each car, required to operate the
brake. The same Is true of the vacuum
bIake. Another trouble with them is that
they are expensive, costing, as they do,
$50 to equip a car with the attachments.
Again, every road has in each freight train
a large number of foreign cars, which it
would be impossible to operate without the
attachment. A new brake has been recent
ly invented. which, being operated by
friction only, requires no pump, is cheap,
and, it is claimed, works as well ON forty
as upon four cars. 2. There is no brake in
use upon freight cars except the ordinary
hand brake. 8. From $40 to $40 week.

POETRY.

By HENRY ABBEY.
had vision of mankind to be;
saw no grated windows, heard NO roar
From iron mouths of war on land or sea;
Ambition broke the sway of peace no more.
Out of the chaos of i'll will had come
Cosmos, the Age Of Good, Millennium!
The lowly hero had of praise his need
And loving kindnesses Joined roof to roof;
The poor were few and to their daily need
Abundance ministered, Men bore reproof--
On crags of self denial sought to Gull
Rare flowers to deck their doors hospitable.
The very bells rang out the Golden Rule,
For hearts were loathe to give their fellows pain.
The man was chosen chief, who brave and cool,
Was king in act and thought. Real power is
plain,
Despising pomp and show. He seemed to be
The least in all that true democracy
o Thou the Christ, the Sower of the seed!
Pluck out the narrowness, the greed for pelf
Pluck out all tares the time let come, and speed.
When each will love his neighbor as himself.
The hopes of man, our dreams of higher good,
Are based on Thee; we are Thy brotherhood.

g Destiny Chair" which is placed ON a
stone called the 6 Destiny Stone.' Is this
a fact? and if so, why is it? 3. r.
Ans.-The history of the coronation Cor
destiny stone is little curious, and per-
haps mythical. Taylor, in his Glories of
Regalty," gives this legend concerning It.
It is said to be s the very stone on which
the patriarch Jacob laid his head on the
plains Of Luz that it was brought from
Egypt into Spain by Gathelus. the supposed
founder of the Scottish nation that it was
thence transported into Ireland by Simon
Brech, who was crowned upon it about 700
B. c.; that it was thence carried into Scot
land by King Fergus $50 B. G." The real
history is that it was transferred from

A drop of perspiration has caused a ter

Toulon. A naval lieutenant was filling
bottles with dynamite, gun cotton and phos-
phorate of calcium, and the story is that a
drop of perspiration from his forehead fall

three persons were killed on the spot.
