The Future Motor Power.

The steam-enginr, that has been the
means of revolutlonizing manufacture
ing transportation, was spoken of with
good deal Of disparagement by sever
al members of the British Association
for the Advancement Of Science at the
late meeting at Bath. Nearly every
person who spoke on the subject gave
it a bad name. II was stated that it
was expensive to build, costly to run,
difficult to keep in repair, dangerous
to life and property, cumbersome, pro-
ductive to dirt and noise, and not
adapted to many purposes where a
motor is required. 1t is the opinion of
some, the steam-engine had had its
day, and played its part, and was now
ready to be put in a museum of curio-
sites. They think it is behind the times.
and that it should give place to some
thing better
These scientific men of Great Britain
object to the steam-engine because it
does not meet the wants OF the present
age; because it spends too much force
for the results il accomplishes, and for
the additional reason that it is fast con-
suming the coal that will be wanted for
heating purposes. They want better
force, more lomotion, quicker travel,
less expense, and greater security,
They want something that will propel
canoes as well as ships that will run
sewing-machnes as well as t'ip-ham-
mers; that will draw pleasure carriages
as well as railway cars. They desire a
motor that will not consume fuel, pro-
duce smoke or cause noise; that can be
managed by child and run if desired
in a parlor. They want something that
will do all the steam -engine does and
many things beside.
In the opinion of most of the scien-
fists of Great Britain electricity is to
take the place of steam in driving ma
chincry and moving cars, and is to be
generated by the action of tides, winds,
and falling water They predict that
wind power will be utiiz d to greater
than any persons in previous age ever
believed it would. Wind will generate
electricity for moving machinery, for
lighting streets, and warming dwellings
in Ireland, Belgium, Denmark, and
other countries where there are few
streams that afford water-power The
movement of tides will produce the
same effects in most countries that have
an extensive sca.coast, while the fall
of water in rivers and streams will gen.
crate electricity in all mountain re-
gions.
Tho great electrical exhibition at
Paris is doing much TO draw attention
to what is called the motor-power of
tho future. A picture called "The
Queen of the Nineteenth Century"
hangs in many Of the shop windows,
1t is female figure surrounded with a
halo, and emitting rays of light from
the hands. which are raised as il to
enable the being to fly. The light
gives the arms the appearance OF wings.
The artist is an enthusiast, andtis re-
garded by many as prophet. We all
hope that his fair predictions will be
realized. The steam-engine is good
thing, but we are ready for something
better. 1t has done so we'll that till
recently scientific men and inventors
have no trouble themselves to make
something better Now that attention
is drawn to electricity, great results
may be expected.

The Consolation Of Bad Luck in Fishing.

The consolation OF Bad Luck IN Fishing.
Whether there are any fish in the
river or not can make but little differ
ence 10 the true fisherman. He can sit
all day in some secluded spot, dream
ing the hours away, smoking and eat
ing lunch, and he never gets out OF pa
thence because the fish do not bite, but
seems TO look upon the matter philo-
sophicaly and feel that he Is relieved
OF the labor Of taking them off the line
and batting his hook over again, any
how, and there is no great loss without
some small gain. So, perhaps, the
fewer the fish are the more attractions
the sport presents TO the true fisherman,
who is always well satisfied with the
result If his days labor, 50 to speak,
even though he does not catch clam,
and he would feel as though Il terrible
burden rested upon him If he was to
enter into fishing match and be OBJ
liged to catch amilion fish in amillion
years, or lose the stakes. Two such
men were out fishing on the Susque-
hanna, the other day. They lished all
day, but did not get bite, and as they
reeled up their lines TO 90 home, hun
cry and tired and sunburnt, one OF
them said he only came for the pastime,
and did not care for fish, anyhow

You are evidently in error about the

much this summer; so your proposition
TO sell them one thousand thrashlng
machines at n discount is OF no prac-
tical utility. The chances are that If
they had 1000 Pitts thrashing machines
they would trade tho entire lot before
fall for plug hat and pair OF red
suspenders. The Utes run more to red
suspenders and physical calm than they
do to agriculture and Pitts thrashinS
machines. They started IN onion

and it looked at one time rs though
they would ut least raise one onion 10
each five adults on the reservation; put
one morning they got into u discussion
about some agricultural point wllllo

The Northern Pacific.

Events of the year 1881 have materially
added to the assurance that whatever
other eastern connections may be made, or
whatever eastern extensions may be built,
st. Paul will remain the most important
eastern terminus of this great continental
road and its principal operative head
quarters. The recent declarations of the
new leaders of the company were hardly
more direct to this effect than is the de-
velopment of the traffic of the road.
With each extension of the road west
ward there Is an accession to the COM
MERGE of ST. Paul, and strengthening of
the position of this city as the CONNER
cial and financial center of all the grand
territory between the northern lakes and
the Rocky Mountains. East and west Of
us roads are being built to tap the
great volume of traffic which is
to flow over this highway of nations; but
on the one hand we may trust the North
ern Pacific company to protect our inter-
ests as far as they are Identical with its
own, and on the other we may rely
upon the railway companies interested in
keeping the line of traffic to and through
st. Paul to leave little room for other
lines to operate in this field.
The progress of the Northern Pacific
has been accelerated during the year, and
its plans have apparently been settled by
an introduction of new lie in the con-
troll of its affairs. The utmost possible
activity in completing the main line and
constructing branch lines is pledged.
Abundant means have been provided and
two years from to-day the GLOBES an
nual review will tell of the opening Of
the road from St. Paul to the Pacific.
The work of this year, east of the
mountains, has been as follows:

Breeding Operations Of N. w. Kittson,
Esq. the Past Ten Months.
ATOTAL OF $3.50, 900 EXPENDED.
EQUINE Stars Costing Over a Hundred
and Twenty Thousand Dollars.
HIGH BRED TROTTERs&RUNNRRs
A Palatial Stable Erected at Cost Of
Fifty Thousand Dollars.

Any showing of the business and
growth of St. Paul the past year that
omitted mention of the operations OF
Mr.. Norman W. Kittson, especially to-
ward the establishment here of large
breeding farm, would be unjust to the
city as well as to one of its most enter
prising and public spirited citizens. As
will be seen by the detailed statement
made below, Mr. Kittsen has since the
first Of March last spent toward the es-
tablishment of this breeding farm the
refund sum of $3.50, 600. In addition to
this he has erected a handsome addition
to his Clarendon hotel property, at a
cost of S25, 900; purchased ground for a
family residence-one of the most slightly
in the city-at cost of some $2S, GOO,
upon which a residence to cost fully
100000 has been comm enced, to be sup
lemented as early as possible by private
stable to cost from S35, 600 to $40, 900.
Aside from this he has made many
other less important Improvements in
the city, but aggregated, swelling his ex-
penditures several thousand. The
GLOBE takes pride in calling attention to
these operations of Mr.. Kittson, alike so
important to the city and future of the
state, and to express the hope that in the
realization of his plans, his most saugine
expectations may be realized. The fol-
lowing is the showing:

the traffic of the road. The buildings
now contemplated will give room for
about six hundred mechanics and it is
intended to erect the most important OF
them during 1882.
The largest local improvements under
way for the coming year are, however, ct
Minneapolis, where the company will
build stone arched bridge Of twenty
spans or arches-four of one hundred
feet and sixteen of eighty feet, with
shore abutments of solid stone work,
amounting to 220 feet, making 1900 feet
of stone bridge. The bridge will be
sixty feet above the mean level Of the
water below the falls and will run diago-
nally across the river in front of the two
falls and over the foot of the island. For
this the contract has been let, and it II
hoped the, bridge can be COM
pleted year from now. A union
depot, yard tracks aud all neces-
sary facilities for business ON the
grounds recently purchased in Minneap-
oils are to be provided by the time
the bridge Is done; and, also, extensive
improvements in East Minneapolis in
connection with utilizing the water pow
er on that side, will be carried on with
the other local work.
THE LAND DEPARTMENT.
This company has sold during the year
about $50, 900 acres Of land, all to actual
settlers or cultivators, and two-thirds Of
it in tracts of 100 acres and less. 1t has
for sale nearly 1000, 900 acres of land and
its terms of sale are such as to induce
cultivation in preference to speculation
independent of cultivation.
The changes of moment in the man
agement of this company during the year
have been as follows: Mr.. R. B. Angus
has retired from the vice presidency to
take charge in the east Of affairs of the
Canadian Pacific. Mr.. Jas. J. Hill sue.
ceeds Mr.. Angus as vice president but re.
mains chief executive officer of the com.
pany. NJ. Allen Marvel succeeds Mr..
Hill as general manager.

The Moose.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 30.-William 81. Erb, Ger
man, who murdered his wife, was executed
this morning in the city iiail, in the presence
of nearly 300 persons. Erb slept soundly un-
til nearly 4:30, when he arose and ate a slight
breakfast. He then conversed with the other
four murderers who are awaiting execution
within the next two weeks. After this he
was read to him in his cell. He showed no
signs of fear and was only afraid of the cold
A Catholic priest attended him to the scaffold
where he prayed ferventlY while the moose
was adjusted. The deputy sheriff sprang the
drop at 6:46, and in five minutes he was dead.
Everything passed off quietly.

FUTURE CONSTRUCTION.
The main line gap ut this date, from
the end of the track on the Pacific side Of
the mountains is ia miles, viz: From
near Fort Keogh to Yellowstone Crossing,
254 miles; Yellowstone Crossing to French
Woman's creek, $50 miles; French Wo-

Clark's Fork to end of Pacific Division
track, $50 miles. The heavy grading
along the Yellowstone will be continued
through the winter, and track laying will
be resumed early in the spring. A con-
tract for fifty miles of grading near Hele-
ma has been let and will be prosecuted
through the winter. Contracts have also
teen let for the short tunnel at Boze-
man Pass, and for the long
and short tunnel at Mullan Pass.
On the same (the Missou]a) division, sixty
miles of the main line, with branch to
Butte City, is under contract. The Clafk's

Wills are pldStereu ana Wnlte coated.
There are three large stoves in
the building so that the tempera-
ture may be kept comparatively
moderate in the very coolest of
weather. No hay is to be kept in the
building that being run in on tramways
laid through the centre between the stalls
and around the outside. Water is forced
into all parts of the building by large
wind mill and tank, the latter 16x2O, and
standing at an elevation of thirty feet.
To water plugs located in different parts
of the building hose is constantly at
tached so that should fire start by any
means it would be almost impossible for
it to gain any serious Roadway.
Mr.. A. NJ. Radcliffe, the we'll known
architect, designed the building, and it
has been constructed under his personal
superintendence, and the description
above given shows that he has secured
both solid and neat exterior, while his
interior arrangements furnish those great
essentials for the comfort and health of
the horse, plenty of light, most complete
ventilation, and every possible appliance
for cleanliness, as well as economy in the
handling and care of the animals. Fully
completed the building will cost a round
$4,000.
THE FIRST PURCHASE.
Mr.. Kittson's first purchase toward the
aggregation of splendid horsedesh above
enumerated was made the 10Th of March,
when he bought of the American horse
exchange, New York city, several thor
oughbred mares The following day he
made several purchases at Kellogg's sale
of trotting bred animals, in that city, in
Guiding the mares Astoria, Hebe and
others. These purchases reached ST.
Paul March 31st, and from that date
to the present time hadlv a
week has passed without one or more
purchases being made. Mr.. D. W.
Woodmansee has acted as Mr. Kittson's
agent in making most of the purchases,
though Mr. Kittson has often acted indie
pendently, and in all cases 1t has been his
idea that has governed Mr.. Woodman-
