Tia Horr. That Oouuts


A certain horse In Sayreyille for
twenty years has been a cart-horse in a
brick-yard. and the habit Of going
through certain round Of duties day
after day for eight months in the year
has enabled him 10 do things which
seem to indicate the possession Of
mental faculties similar 10 some of those
possessed by tie human race. II is an
old saying among farmers that crows
cannot count more than three, but this
horse has the ability TO count sixty-fve.
His routine OF labor is 10 cart sixty-hve
loads of clay from the pit TO the spot
where the clay is mixed or ground, and
then to go for load of coal-dust; and
now, without any thing being said or
done to indicate the fact to him, when
he has deposited his sixty-lifth load, he
turns away from the clay pit and goes
to the dock for load of the dust. This
is not his only peculiarly, for, when he
goes to the pit, he backs the cart up to
the right place, and will take only what
he conceives to be his proper load. If
more is put on, he backs and kicks and
rattles the cart about until the load is
reduced to what he considers proper
quantity. Having such intellectual ca
pacity, it is not surprising TO learn that
he will not be driven. As soon as the
lines are touched he becomes fractions
and unmanageable, but gentle expla-
nation of what is required of him usu-
ally has the desired effect 1t is I'M
necessary to add that such an intel
lectual horse will do no work after the
whistle for dinner or supper sounds.
All his companions in the yard have wit
enough for that, and if they are ON
their way to the pit for load when the
whistle blows they all turn about and
make for the stable without any Or

pipes which occupy the place Of the US
ual fire CRATES; from these pipes pro-
ceed small burners. each with an apzr-
ture Of a hundredth Of an inch, and q
thimble-like cap with apertures near
the escaping hydrogen. This arrange
ment brings 10 the burning hydrogen
oxygen from atmospheric air, prOdu-
cing nearly the same effert as the oxy-
hydrogen b,7wpipe. The heat of this
flame is 5000 degrees Centigrade.
Hundred of these burners are scattered
over the space Of the ordinary fire-grate.
This heat is applied TO the boiler by
means of copper llues.
When the heat from the combustion
of the dissociated hydrogen becomes
sufficient it does the work of heating
the retorts TO produce itself. This fact
is what puzzles the sticklers for the law
of the conservation OF energy. But as
dissertation occurs ut a temperature of
400 degrees Centigrade, flame of 5000
degrees Centigrade is sufficient to ac-
cOmplish this with an enormous force
to spare. When steam is raised in the
boiler it is supplied to the naptha re-
tort direct. instead of being generated
in the retort at first employed, thus saw
ing so much energy. The use of this
fuel does away with smoke and cinders.
The products of combustion passing
through the smoke stack would not
blacken the whitest handkerchief.
The builders Of this locomotive have
the utmost confidence in its success. 1t
is now nearly completed. and trial
may soon be expected. II the expert
ment succeeds, its importance cannot
be overestimated. d.-RocheSter Demo

The First Sign of Consumption.

1t is not as extensively known as it
ought to be that, in the large majority
of cases, consumption begins with a
slight cough in the morning on getting
up. After a while it is perceived at
night on going to bed; next, there is an
occasional coughing spel'' some time
during the night: by this time there is
difficulty of breathing on any slight
ly unusual exercise, or in ascending a
hill.
Even before this, persons begin to
feel weak, while there is an almost inn
perceptible thinning in flesh, and a
gradual diminution in weight-haras-
sing cough, loose bowels, difficult
breathing, swollen extremities, daily
fever, and miserable death! Miser-
able. because it is tedious, painful. and
inevitable. How much it is to be
wished that the symptoms of this hate
full disease were more generally studied
and understood, that it might be de-
tected in its first insidious approaches,
and application be made at once for its
arrest and total eradication; for certain
it is that, in very many instances, it
could be accomplished.
1t must be remembered that cough is
not an invariable attendant of con-
sumption of the lungs, inasmuch as
persons have died, and on examination
large portion of the lungs were found
to have decayed away, and yet these
same persons were never noticed to
have had cough, or observed it them
selves, until within few days of death.
But such instances are rare, and q ha-
bitual cough on getting up. and on 60
ing to bed, may be safely set down as
indicating consumption begun. Cough,
as just stated, is originally q curative
process. the means which nature uses
to rid the body of that which offends.
of that which is foreign to the system
and ought to be out of it; hence the
folly of using medicines to keep down
the cough, as all cough remedies sod
in the shops merely do, without taking
means at the same time for removing
that state of things which makes cough
necessary.-HaPS Journal Of Health.

DIR. Hammond, OF New York, while
condemning the use of cigarettes, says
of cigar smoking: "Men should never
smoke except after eating, and, prefer
ably, after the labors of the day are
over. Now a cigar taken after eating
has not only a beneficial, soothing cf-
feet upon the mini but facilitates diee>-
ton, increasing the amount of gastric
juice, as have frequently shown to my
classes by experiment. Take dog
and make a gastric fistul in him so as
to collect his gastric juice by tube,
and put q little tobacco in his mouth.
Almost instantly the gastric juice be-
gins TO flow. Whatever excites the Sc
cretions of saliva exctes the secretions
of gastric juice, so that man actually
assists digestion by an after-dinner
cigar, provided he is not one of those
unfortunate persons to whom. tobacco is
poisonous.

Water as Fuel,

Many efforts have been made to use
water as fuel, but in most cases the
force gained has been at too great a
cost of force TO render the process
available. The components of water.
hydrogen and oxygen, when dissoci ted
are powerful forces The great pr b.
lem has been to decompose water into
its elements by the use of so little force
as to give great advantage from the
combustion of the components. DR..
Charles Holland has succeeded in de-
composing wnter by a process so simale
that revoluti N is promised in mo i've
power. Tie decompusIi n has been
effected by taking advantage of the
strong Affinity of oxygen for carbon.
Drcompnsed water has already been
used in locomotive zine on TIL
Long Island Railroad. An old coal
burner was employed, but the condi-
tions were not such as to give the bes
results.
So much confidence was created in
the efficacy OF the process that loco
motive is Icing built ut Paterson, N.
j., especially adapted to the use of the
new fuel. Just inside t,c furnace door
are four rector $. two to contain water
and two naptha. Under them is o met

quantity t naptha is poured and Sc on
fire when the locomotive is to be started.
The burning naptha raises steam in the
water retorts and converts part of The
naptha in the her ret r's into vapor.
The steam rushes into the naptha re-
torts and by the great affinity OF tho
carbon Of napt a vapor Tor oxygen q

About 100 Abandoned Claims Re Located
by Residents of this City-A Rough
Trip.
Wood River Times
HALEY lost about one-half of her
male population last week, nearly all
the men who knew of claims open to
relocation having gone out to locate
them. All day Friday and Saturday
men could have been seen starting out
on snowshoes in every direction, some
will. and theirs without blankets and
IA lunch basket. Some, bent on getting
into the Smokeys, even left as early
as Tuesday morning, while crowd
headed by Tim O'Sullivan, whose
members had marked some claims be-
tween HALEY and the Warm Springs
for relocation, did not start until 10
o'clock Saturday night, when bomb
was explo led on River street as sig
nal for its departure. By yesterday
morning most of the re-locators had
got back. They all reported having
had rough trip of it. On the way
ont they found the snow so soft and
loose that it would not hold them up,
and their snowshoes would sink over
a foot. After while they generally
took off their snowshoes, strapped
them to their backs or packed them
on their shoulders, and waded through
the snow. In places there were drifts
ten feet high, and a man walking
through them would sink out of sight.
Several returned to town exhausted,
having been unable to reach their des-
tination Most of the ro-locators
slept on their claims Sunday night.
Monday, when they returned, the
snow had somewhat thawed and
packed, and snowshoeing was both
practicable and profitable. Over 100
claims were probably relocated by
residents of Haley.

borrower. "No collateralsl" said the
banker; ''then it will be impossible
for us to let you have the money"
