The Fontaine Engine.

The Buffalo Express gives the fol-
lowing description of the Fontaine
engine that is now astonishing the
railroad world: t'It il a magnificent
piece Of machinery, and was con-
structed for the Fontaine Engine
Company at the Grand Locomotive
works, Patterson, n. J. Its great
popularity is that it has eight
wheels besides the two drive-whcels,
which are above the main or lower
driving-wheels, the piston-rods from
the steam-chest connecting with the
upper wheels. Another popularity
is that the machinery is above the
boiler instead of under it, as is ord
inarily the case. The cylinder is
l6x24. The upper wheel is foot
in diamiter and the intermediate one
Sc inches. The track wheel is 20
inches, which makes it equal to an
eight-feet driver. The whole weight
is 40 tons. The great advan tage of
this locomotive is claimed to he that
she gains twenty miles an hour over
any other engine; that is while an
ordinary tive-fect driving wheel is
worked by the piston rod at the rate
of forty miles an hour, the engine in
question will make sixty miles in the
same time by the same number of
strokes of its piston rod. 1t con-
sumcs much less fuel than an orolin-
airy engine, and tests in this respect
are now being made with it. 1t is
estimated that the saving will be
from % to rs per cent.

A London correspondent sends the
following account Of the latest scien-
tific sensation: A remarkably inter-
esting experiment has just been
made at Calais and Dover, between
which places conversation has been
kept up ezra roice by means of \ new
kind of telephone which has been
patented under the name of electro
phone. Not only were words whis-
pered in the apparatus at Calais dis
tinctly heard at Dover, and of course
vice versa, but the listener ut one
end was perfectly well able to dis
|tinguish by the mere tones of voice
the person who was speaking at the
other end. Experiments with the
same apparatus then continued with
the same results, and in the midst of
the confusion produced by the sim
ultaneous working of several ma
chimes in:hc London terminal station
the voice of the speaker was heard
as plainly as though he had been in
the same room. There can no long,
CIR be any doubt that it Is perfectly
practicable to converse across, or
rather under sea by means of any
submarine cable. The inventor
maintains it is just as easy to talk
across the Atlantic as from one room
TO another"

The St. Peter Tribune takes up the
suggestion of the Pioneer Press that
Hon. A. II. AIcGill, Insurance Com
missioner, would be very accepta-
bic candidate for Governor in that
part of the State, and comments up
on it with considerable enthusiasm.
It says: 8
Mr.. McGilI's character and quail
|fications need no comment from us.
He has already filled filled number
|of important Offices of honor and
trust, and his position has been such
las to give him an extensive acquain-
lance all over the State and make
him familiar not only with the needs
Iof the people but the duties of the
!gubernatorial office. Probably no
|other man in the Srate has a more
thorough knowledge of the duties of
the State government than he. He
has rare executive ability aud has
conducted the Insurance Department
of this state with sucn signal success
las to win commentator from the
highest insurance authorities of the
country. If Southern Minnesota de-
sires to unite upon a candidate no
one is better calculated to reconcile
the conflicting claims of rival locali-
ties than Mr.. McGill, and we believe
him to be more available for that
purpose than any of the gentlemen
named in connection with the gov
leanorshin.

1t is stated that Postmastcr-G en-
eral James proposes to cancel all the
contracts for the extension of the
"star route" service made by General
Brady, and begin anew, and deter
mine whether the increase in the SER
vice on these routes is necessary or
not. General Sherman's name APP
pears on many of the papers recon-
mending the increased service in the
Southwest and the Territories, and
his friends say that he will under
take to justify the increase Of the SER
vice on any of the routes which he
recommended, as being necessary for
military reasons. General Brady's
hackers in Washington assert that
the largest extension of the contracts
was made at the request of General
Sherman, the Secretary of War and
the Governors of Texas, California
Dakota and New Mexico.

1t is interesting to observe that
electric lightingis now in very much
the same stage of progress that gas
lighting was from 1922 to 1880, a
demonstrable success, but feeling its
way into popular estimation and on
ly waiting for the preliminary OBJ
stacles to be overcome, which rctard
all innovations, to supplant gas, as
that did oil and candles. While on
the subject of lighting let us note, in
passing, that petroleum (kerosenc
oily was first obtained in quantities
for general consumption in 1850,
when the total product was 5000
barrels; while in the year 1879 the
daily product was often twenty times
that amount.

Later adviccs from the stock
ranges state that nearly all the sheep
in the Black Hills section of the
country have died. Stock along the
Pierre route is dying off with great
rapidity. The cattle are SO weak
from hunger that they cannot range
far enough away to get good grazing.
The prairie is covered with water
and melting snow, and the cattle,
which are almost dead from hunger
fall down from exhaustion, are un.
able to rise, and die where they fall.
The semi-annual roundup of stock
will occur May 18th, and then the
exact loss will be known.

The Richest Land Owner in Illinois.

1uc hlCueSt A3mO OWneF In ILLINOIS,
If the question should he asked,
who is the richest land owner in ILL
nois to-day, the answer would most
be Senator Davis. He
came West aean early day and in
possession of \ few hundred dollars,
the patrimony from his parents. He
at once invested in real estate, and
in all his purchases and sales he has
shown the very best of judgment.
He is now owner of some of the
most valuable farm land in Illinois,
Kansas, Iowa and other western
States, although the greater portion
of the real estate owned by him is
located throughout central Illinois.
His first purchase in real estate was
made in Chicago, being an eighty
acre tract of land about tire: miles
from the harbor. This property was
nearly all disposed of by the foot,
and for this very fortunate invest
ment the Senator is partly indebted
for the princely fortune he possesses
to-day. His policy in dealing in.
real estate has been to purchase prop
erty in the suburbs of a growing
town, in order that it might become
valuable with the increase of the
place is size and prosperity. lie was
always careful to buy land intrinsic
ally valuable, considering what it
would produce, so that in any event
his speculation would he safe one.
The amount of taxes annually paid
by him in this county is nearly $l2,-
600, while the total amount of his
taxes will not fall far short of $685.
900 yearly. Aside from his extern
sive farm lands, he is the possessor
of large number of the best ar
ranged and finest business blocks in
Bloomington, including the elegant
opera house, which is one ofithe fine
est in the entire West.
