Four Million HORSEPOWER from Q Cot.
fee.Nill.


MANY years ago civil engineer sug-
gested TO the French Academy the posi-
bility of submarine railroads, claiming
that at certain depth in the ocean, beyond
the reach or influence of storms, the water
is so dense that nothing of tubular form
can possibly sink. His idea then was to
construct a double-track railroad across
the Atlantic Ocean through circular tun-
mel floated at this depth, and send trains
laundering back and forth, to the conster-
nation of the big fish and mortal terror OF
the little ones. But there was one insur-
mountable obstacle TO the success OF this
grand enterprise at that time, which was
that the smoke of the locomotives would
sufocate the occupants of the train in that
close, dark and alright tube. The advo-
cate of this railroad cable claimed that
this difficulty being removed, there could
not be doubt as to the success OF the un-
dertaking, and all that was necessary was
enough capital to construct the novel work
Since understanding engines have been
invented the only scientific drawback to
the construction of railroad to Europe
has been removed But now we have
the solution of the problem, which
leaves no excuse why a submarine rail
way should not be the enterprise of the
near future The key to the French engi-
neer's dream has been discovered-the
Keely motor. There you are. A piece Of
machinery about the size of a cofiee-mill,
with one teaspoonful ofwater administered
once year, or less frequently if you hap
pen to forget it, and you have four million
horsepower continually on hand. No
smoke, no vapor, no bowling and screech-
ing of steam, no beating the atmosphere
from here to Europe with tons of coal.
Just spit in a little iron cylinder, if water
is not handy, and leave the brakeman to
do the rest. Now is the time for that
French engineer to come forward. He
was too fast for his age, but the age has
caught up with him. All that is wanted
now is the tunnel and the railroad track.

The Scholar and the World"

Some days ago the Springfield Mass.
Union noticed that the story of the writing
on the bridge, which was used by Long
fellow as the illustration of his admirable
Bowdoin Commencement poem, had be.
fore been used by VIM. Morris, and now
it has found the original 1t is included
IN the "Gesta Romanorum, Latin stories
invented by the monks in the middle
ages, but was first told by William of
Malmsbury, who died in 1143. He gives
it as follows:
AT Rome there was brazen statue ey.
tending the forefinger Of the right hand.
and on its forehead was written: Strike
here. Being suspected to conceal a treas
ure, it had received many bruises from the
credulous and the ignorant in their en-
deavors to open it. AT length Gerbert
(Pope Sylvester H., who died 1909 unrid-
died the mystery. AT MONDAY, observing
the reflection OF the foretinger on the
ground, he marked the spot. At night he
came to the place with page, carving
lamp. There, by magical operation,
he opened a wide passage in the earth,
through which they both descended. and
came to avast palace. The walls, the beams
and the whole structure were of gold :;
they saw golden images of knights plav-
ing at chess, with king and queen of
gold, at a banquet, with numerous at
PENDANTS in gold, and cups of immense
size and value. In a recess was a car
buncle, whose luster Illuminated the whole
palace, opposite to which stood figure
with Bonded bow. As they attempted to
touch some of the rich furniture all the
golden images seemed to rush upon them.
Gerbert was too wise to attempt this sec
ond time, but the page was bold enough to
snatch from the table knife of exquisite
workmanship. At that moment all the
images rose up with dreadful noise; the
figure with the bow shot at the carbuncle,
and total darkness ensued. The page
then replaced the knife, otherwise they
would have suffered cruel death"
The monks and the poets kill the hap

moral: my beloved, the image is the
devil; the clerk is any covetous man
who sacrifices himself to the cupiiity OF
his desires; the steps by which he de

death the carbuncle is human life, and
the cup and knife are worldly posses

THE Reading pa Times describes a
death from the bite of an insect in Penn
sylvania. 1t says that Mrs. Custer, of
Worcester Township, Montgomery Coun-
ty, recently went into the garden to get
some parsley, and while doing so was
stung or bitten by an insect, which imme-
diately caused her much pain. She went
into the house and complained of the pain,
when the finger was examined, but very
little could be seen except very small
speck or point. After a very short time
the pain extended up the arm, which COM
menced swelling, and a streak or line be-
came perceptible the entire length of the
arm, which broke out at places and dis
charged a yellow liquid. Medical aid was
called, but no relief could be afforded, and
on the fourth day after she was bitten the
unfortunate woman died.
