Braking By Electricity.

An electromagnetic brake device
was applied to cars yesterday Of the
C., l., St L. and c.. Hailwsy, in the
presence of many prominent citizens.
The invention is by Cincinnati man.
and consists in an iron drum about
eighteen inches long and nine inches
wide, placed on one axle of each car.
Inside of this drum is an iron spool
wound with wire, and connections
made through the train by wire, all of
which is carefully insulated. Electric
ity is generated in . dynamo machine
placed on the locomotive and is carried
back by the wires to the spools
on the axles, which, becoming mag
netic, attracts bars of iron to it in
such q way as to cause the iron drum to
revolve with the axle. This winds the
chain Of the brake around the drum
and sets the brake on the wheel. The
amount of electricity for each drum is
carefully regulated to about correspond
with the power of an ordinary brake
man, the idea being simply to supply q
magnetic brakeman, as one might say,
instead Of man power. Tho Initial
power is increased as many times IS
may be required by means OF a pc
culiarly- differential wheel.
the increase of power depending solely
on the diameter Of this wheel. A train,
consisting of q, locomotive, tender anil
three freight cars, running at the rste
of eighteen to twenty miles an hour,
was stopped repeatedly without diff
Guilty by the application of the brake
without using any brake on the loco
motive or tender. Cincinnati CONNER

An Egg that Hatched q Wedding.

EYES, it is true" said Mr.. James
Lynch, yesterday, as he stood in front
of his produce market at 152 Grand
street, Williamsburgh. IAN egg was
the cause of it all, and it the first time,
l guess, that an egg ever acted as .
matchmaker. IdOn't mind telling you
the circumstances, but I prefer not Civ
ing the name of either the girl or her
intended, for know they would not
like it, and the facts are just as inter-
esting without them.
ut was on Saturday night, think,
about two months ago. There was .
great rush of customers. and our girl,
who is very handy, came down stairs to
help us in the store. She often did this,
for the upstairs work, which she is en-
ployed to do, is not very heavy, and on
most evenings she il at leisure. Well,
that day I had bought five barrels of
eggs from commission house on Duane
street, New York. They had come
from Tennessee. One barrel was used
up when the girl came down, and 1 had
Just opened another. She began to sell
from this barrel. About five minutes
later heard her Laughing, and saw her
holding an egg to the light. She looked
at it SO intently that I drew near and
asked her if it was bad
"'Oh, no. she answered. ITS too
good.'
"She handed me the egg, pointing to
some words written upon it in clear,
business-like hand. They were as fol-
lows: N''''''.s ~

CHANGED to be present said, How TO
manticr I thought 50, too, and we all
had . good laugh over it. After the,
shutters had been put up, I told the
girl, just for the fun of the thing, to
comply with the request on the egg and
send letter to Tennessee. Before
going to bed she did 20. She is well
educated, and writes an excellent letter.
She was brought up in . convent in
Ireland. She said she had NO ide6 that
she could get. an answer, but I guess
that she alxiously watched for the post
man during the following week. At
the end Of five days letter came d.

soc. Il didn't take her long to open it,
and I'm pretty sure she read it, contents

weeks had expired. The girl after this

Odd Ways Of Making q Living.

For that matter, though, there seems
to be money in all sorts of things in
New York. There, for instance, is the
secondhand furniture trade, which has
grown to enormous proportions. and is
now one of the leading lines OF business
in the city. 1t is hardly worth while to.
mention the fashionable secondhand
clothing trade which every one knows
everything about that is worth know
ing. Aside from these there are dozens
Of different kinds of secondhand bust
ness going on all the time and general
ly at a large profit to the dealers. We
have one class of men dealing in old
lead, another in old iron, another in old
brass, another in old building material
of all sorts, another in broken glass,
and 80 on through long list of things
that seem to have served their only pur-
pose and to be no longer of any use to
any one. Gathering old rags and old
paper is, of course. . large business in
itself, and q profitable one, too. The
latest industry is that of collecting the
small tin cans that are thrown out after
their contents Of preserved fruit, meat
or vegetables, as the case may be, are
used. The tin is Of scarcely any value,
but it pays to melt down the cans for
their solder, and this is low done a.
regularly as sending rags to paper
mill. Gathering up cigar stumps around
the hotels is an old business. The
chewed and nicotine-soaked ends are
dried, broken up and utilized either for
filters in making new cigars, or worked
in with the cheaper kinds of smoking
tobacco. There arc thousands of men
in New York who make living by
merely gathering up the refuse of trade
and OF the household, and putting it in
shape to be utilized over again, and
some of them not only make living,
but get ahead in the world, too.-M r.
