EARS FOR THE MILLION !
Foo CboO'S BalSam Of Sharks Oil,

POSITIVELY RESTORES THE HEARING, AND IS
THE ONLY ABSOLUTE CURE FOR
DEAFNESS KNOWN.
This Oil is extracted from a peculiar spe-
cies of small WHITE SHARK, caught ia the
Yellow Sea, known as ca, charodon Rondeletti.
Every Chinese fisherman knows it. Its vir
tues as restorative of hearing were discov-
eIed by a Buddhist Priest about the year
l4l0. Its cures were 80 numerous and many
so seemingly miraculous. that the remedy
was officially proclaimed over the entire
Empire. Its use became so universal that
for over 300 years no Deafness has existed
among the Chinese people. Sent, charges
prepaid. to any address at 81 per bottle:
Only Imported by HAYLOCK & CO.,
SOLE AGENTS FOR AMERICA. I Dey ST., N. Y.
Its virtues are unquestionable and it's cura-
tive character absolute, as the writer can
personally testify, both from experience and
| observation.
Among the many readers of the Review in
one part and another of the country, it is
probable that numbers are afflicted with deaf
| ness, and to such it may be said: "Write at
once to Haylock & Co., Dey Street, New
York, enclosing 81, and you will receive by
return remedy that will enable you to hear
like anybody else, and whose curative effects
will be permanent. You will never regre,
doing so.''-EditOr of Mercantile Review.

A New Street-Car Motor.

The value of an invention that will
enable street-cars in cities to carry their
own motive power can hardly be over
estimated. Horses are expensive. 1t
requires as many horses TO supply q
first-class street railroad as to supply q
regiment of cavalry; and beside, horses
need driver. The underground cable
arrangement is said to work satisfactory
ly in San Francisco, but for some rea-
son or other doubts are expressed of its
successful application in Chicago and
other cities. Dummy engines have been
tried but do not give satisfaction. They
have an ammonia motor in New Or
leans, but it has not succeeded in intro
ducing itself in other cities. But we are
promised solution of the difficulty at
last in the principle of the watch-spring,
experiments with which in Philadelphia
are said to have been attended with
signal success. A steel spring coiled
up tight and well secured is one of the
most striking examples of conserved
force that can be imagined. 1t may be
borne safely and easily from one place
to another, and made to yield its power
by an equaliZed process at the point
where it is wanted. OF course, the
spring for running a street car must be

tempered steel. The one experimental
with at Philadelphia is band 800 feet
long, six inches wide and one-quarter
inch thick, wound up by machinery to
a coil only forty inches in diameter, and
then secured. This coiled spring con-
tains all the force impaired by the steam
engine during the process of winding,
and this is said to be sufficient to drive
3 car loaded with persons distance of
FIVE miles. The uncoiling is graduated
by an ingenious arrangement of brakes
under control of the conductor, which
enables him to stop and start the car at
pleasure, and check prevents the car
from going at greater rate OF speed
than nine miles an hour. If the new
motor can really do all that is promised
of it we shall soon have street cars car
aging their own motive agent and thous-
ands of horses released from the most
harassing task that horse flesh is now
required to perform.-St. Louis Rep1o-
