A NOEEE DEVICE.

| a Car which Runs up q Fiasne.
A car is now being built for the
V. and 7. Flame company which Is
SO INSTRUCTED that paradoxical as
it may seem, will run up the fiume.
and what is still more paradoxical
the sleeper the incline of the hume
! the faster the car RUS up. The
construction Of the car is SO simple
that one wcnders thai it was not
| made as soon as fumes were in
vented. 1t is an ordinary Car with
four wheels resting On the edge of
the fiume. Now. of course, such
an affair without motive power
would remain just where it was
placed or the fume. Let four pad
dies Down from the axles of the
wheels SO that they come in contact
with the water and you have all the
motive power necessary. The rush
of the water revolves the paddles
and thus turning the axles of The
car wheels, sends the Car skipping
up the fume at speed just in pro-
portion to the force of the water
rushing down. So long as the in
cline is not too steep to make the
car fall over on the track backwards
it will move up stream. When it
is necessary for the car to go down
the paddles are drawn in by a sim
pie contriyance on thu axle and the
car rolls down of its own momen-
tum. A trial trip was made yester-
day by Mr.. Toby and Capt. Rodgers
of the Truckes and Tahoe Flume
Company and they went up the big
incline, near the three bridges, SO
rapidly that they had to hold on te
the seats and almost took their
breath away. Mr. Rodgers is con-
fdent that he can carry eight per-
sons up the fume with perfect ease
in half an hour. There is talk Of
forming company ,buildinn large
fume and transporting passengers
to the lake ia cars ran in this man
ner. When the incline is not SUI
fciently steep to give the requisite
speed to the car it will be accelera-
ted by hand. During the tourists
season there would be money in
taking passengers up and down By
this means at a dollar head.

Bold Burglars.

One of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated in Truckee, says the
Republican, took place on New
Years night, the iron safe in the
saloon of the Melocbe Bros. being
carried out of their saloon and bro
ken open, and the entire contents,
about 500, carried off. The safe,
which was light one, was taken
out of the saloon and transported
by means of small truck to the
opposite side of the Trucke river,
where it was broken open and the
coin distracted. No clue to the
robbers.

The ..Sefe:.es.'' OF Lake Tahoe.

Il the Overland for January
Prof. IaConte concludes a series
of articles on Lake Tahoe. The
article in question treats Of the
rythrical variation Of the level OF
the lake or what in the Swiss lakes
arr termed ''sciches These pc
culiar oscillations of level were
first observed by scientists Oh Lake
Geneva in 1870, and after a great
many observations and wranglings
the leading scientists agreed that
the variations of level were caused
by rapid variations of atmospheric
pressure upon the surface of the
lake Prof LeConte holds that this
phenomenon must of necessity &C.
cur at Lake Tahoe because Of its
hight and contiguration, but SO far
the tests made have not been OF
sufficiently scientific character to
accurately determine their dura-
ton. He holds that their duration
is adversely proportional to the
length Of the lake and iuversely
proportional to the square root OF
its mean depth. He proposes to
place self registering guages at va
rious parts of the lake to show that
Lake Tahoe has better defined
oscillation than any of the Euro
pean lakes. He ascribes q glacial
origin to the lake and holds that
Fallen Leaf and Cascade lakes were
scooped out by G glacier. Ee de-
votes considerable to the fauna OF
the lake and the articles which he
has written in the Overland Is one
of the best advertisements the
grand old sheet of water ever Sot.
His closing description is eloquent
enough to bring half the people OF
San Francisco there next Summer.
The Overland contains saany other
interesting articles and its literary
department shows that the maya
zine is gradually drawing the best
talent in the country toward it.

Bicycle Continuance.

An English gentleman has pat.
ented an ingenious device, consist
ing of a bar, by means Of which the
front wheels of two bicycles may
be joined and driven tandem BIZ
two riders. The first advantage
Immediately apparent is that fall
ing over the handles is quite i'm
possible. A greatly increased pace
is attainable, and this, with the
augmented safety. enables ascents
and descents to be taken which pre-.
viously caused dismounts to be
made. The tandem can be quickl y
taken to pieces, and the two large
wheels transformed into separate
machines.

Our dear brother, "T. w. H, . oes
not quite meet the point of the qu : IN
he discusses. The Book OF Order CT q s
difference between the provincial and
the parochial Presbytery, but he infers
similarity-the moderator of the one
should be minister, as we'll as the mod
orator of the other. This is not logic
The office is elect5ve in the Presbytery
and nom-electiUe in the Session. Here is
a constitutional difference, founded in
sound reasons. Independently of all
questions concerning orders and classes
the members of a Presbytery are declared
to be of equal authority" in that body.
The highest function of this authority is
exercised in voting The moderator,
when elected, is the channel of its execu-
ton. Ii the ruling elders are in ma
Jorlty, and carry a measure over the
clerical vote, the moderator must execute
the will of this majority His superior
order cannot exempt him. If there are
ta0o orders in Presbytery, as ''T. w. II" :"
seems to think, the Book clearly empow-
ers the inferior order to control the su-
perior. But if there is only one order in
Presbytery, that order is one Of presby-
ters or ruling elders, and the ministerial
function, however exalted, has no place
in the body 1t is first in dignity and
sacredness, as it pertains to an individu-
al; but it does not inhere in him, as q
member of the court. 1t follows that no
one can be chosen as moderator, except IN
his capacity as a ruling elder.
j. A. w.
Of our correspondent will look at the Book, 4"
Chap. ", sec. 8, he will find that it says the
Ruling Elders possess the same authority in
the courts Of the church as the ministers of the
word" Courts" include the Session as much
as the Presbytery. There is no constitutional
difference" why the Ruling Elder should be
excluded from the moderatorship of the Session
and not from the moderatorship of the Presby-
terry. The question of the moderatorship, how
ever, is side issue and of very little conse-
quence in itself considered. The question of or
derS is far reaching and serious-EDs.)
