The Powerful Automatic Brake.
GFrom the Cleveland Herald

CFrom the Cleveland Herald
The Lake Shore Road has had auto
matte air-brakes on its coaches for sew
eral years. They cost considerable
money, and prominent conductor
was asked last evening if they had
paid the cost of putting them in. "It
is true" said he, "they were expensive,
and in one sense dangerous. If pas
senger should suddenly pull down the
brake cord when the train was rum
ming at forty miles an hour, it would
stop every coach as suddenly as if it
had run up against stone wall, and
either the engine coupling would
break or the whole end of the first car
be pulled out. We have never been
obliged to use the brake to it's full
power, but it is useful thing, and in
more senses than one. A city ordi-
nance compels us to consume ten min
utes' time in running from the dry
bridge to the Atlantic Depot. We
may have a new engineer and
the conductor may discover that we
are running too fast. He can pull
down little on the brakes and check
the train a little. Sometimes when
we have long train it is impossible to
ring the engineers gong even when
we pull hard enough to break the bell
cord. By a gentle pull at the air
brake string conductor can set the
brakes considerably, and instantly the
engineer, realizing that the brakes are
down at a point where ordinarily no
brakes are required, will stop the
train. When the cord was first put up
We were occasionally bothered by pas
sengers setting the brakes. One day
carload of young people were going
East. They were singing and having
a high time, when one of the frisky
young ladies pulled the bell cord. The
next instant she found herself all in a
heap in the next seat in front of her,
and her companions were thrown from
their positions and bumped about in
most surprising manner. Nothing was
broken, however, save, perhaps, some
corset strings"

The Bursting Force of Boiler.
recovery.

[Ffom the Boston Commercial Bulletin.l I.
Few people conceive how powerful
is the force imprisoned in the interior
of steam boiler when in active opera
ton. The steam gauge shows press
ure of perhaps 100 pounds per square
inch, and the uninitiated spectator
who works or walks carelessly beside
the apparatus, may imagine that 100
pounds represents the force with which
its fragments would be propelled in
case of an explosion. But the whole
force of the live steam in boiler is
equivalent to the area of the entire in
ternal surface of the boiler multiplied
by the pressure per square inch.
Suppose, for example, the internal
length Of the boiler is 240 inches and
it's diameter si1ty-six inches, and
that the steam gauge shows pressure
of 100 pounds. A mathematical calcu-
lation shows that the total Internal
area of the boiler is 36,605 square
inches, and hence the imprisoned
agent is not 100 pounds, but 36,605x
100 pounds, or 3,66O,50O pounds.
Think of that the next time you hear
of the employment of an incompetent
engineer to handle boiler whose ex-
plosion is liable to send half dozen
men to eternity - -

Pike County Poverty.
TFrom the Philadelphia Times I


There is story that has been told in
Pike County since time immemorial to
illustrate the poverty of the land of
that region. AS the legend goes, a
traveller on the old Milford turnpike
one day, after travelling a long way
without seeing human face, stopped
before a hut in front of which man
was making an excavation in hopes Of
finding enough earth to make little
garden. The traveller remarked upon
the apparent poverty in that part of the
world. "Now see here, stranger" said
the man who was digging rocks, 'I'm
not so dern poor as you think I am. I
don't own but a half-acre of this here
land" The point of this story will be
appreciated when it is known that there
are at present advertised for sale for
arrears of taxes more than 100000 acres
of land in Pike County, this area COM
prising more than one-fourth of all the
land in the county. The land which is
sold every two years by the Treasurer
of the county, generally brings only
the amount of the taxes and the costs
attending the sale, unless there happen
to be lots especially desirable for quar-
rying or hoop-pole cutting, the buyers
apparently thus vindicating the wisdom
of the remark attributed to the myth
ical man who only owned half-acre.

CHOLERA REMEDIES,

Remedies" for the cholera are be-
coming as numerous as those for the
rheumatism. The reason why there are
SO many for both diseases is because
none of them are very effective. The
oxygen cure appears to have failed.
Probably only in mild cases or in the
very earliest stages. could as mild
remedy work any cure. An old Cuban
campaigner advises a teaspoonful of
chloroform in four times as much water;
while others advise red pepper, camphor
and laudanum. Cholera is a virulent
and violent poison with the popularity
of frequently yielding to careful nursing,
rest of body and calmness of mind,
rather than to heroic treatment. DR..
MacP herson, who handled thousands of
cases, declared that the patients who
were put to bed at once and kept warm,
with no fuss and little medicine, no
panic or fuster, were more apt to re-
cover than those who were dosed.

He himself was attacked and barely es-
capped with his life, but he would not
suffer himself to be stampeded by his
own fears or the anxiety of others, but
kept himself warm III bed and perfectly
still, suffering only the mildest and most
moderate of medication.

UnscOnsciOus Five Weeks.
rFrom the Virginia (Ney.1 Enterpris

TFrom the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.]
It has been five weeks since Charles
Maltby, of Reno, was beaten over the
head with shovel by John Hart, and
he still lies in an unconscious condition.
He sleeps well and takes readily ali
food or medicines which may be offered
to him, and for that reason he hos re-
tanned his strength to a remarkable de-
gree. His mind appears to be entirely
gone, and at times he is violent-so
much so as to require restraint.
Friends with whom he was formerly in
innate are recognized, and he some
times calls their names, but beyond
that he shows no sign OF returning
reason. There isno apparent fracture
of the skull, nor have there been from
the first any of the symptoms usually
attending fracture with depression of
the skull. The exact character of his
injuries is obscure, but is pronounced
by his physicians to be an extensive
laceration, or breaking up, of the brain
substance, resulting from the great
force of the blow received by linn.
Such being the case, no operation Of
the skull would be justifable, and, in
deed in the opinions of the doctors,
would destroy all hopes Of his ultimate
recovery.

Suddenly there was a loud report as of

the "fuid' to the electric wires which
carried it out of the building. A panic
was imminent, but Herr Scaria came
forward and sang; Thomas ordered his

Sacrilege In Westminster Abbey.
from the London Times. |


For the third time a new head has
just been placed upon the carving of
Maj. John Andre in the beautiful
fresco upon his tomb in Westminster
Abbey. Exactly six cases of sacrilege
have occurred at this tomb. The heads
of George Washington and of Maj.
Andre, both being prominent in the
fresco, have been three times stolen re-
spectiveIy. Americans are fond of tax
ing home samples of what they see in
the ''old country" and the tomb of this
unfortunate English gentleman has, it
is supposed, especially suffered in this
way. The last theft of Maj. Andres
head occurred during an organ recital
by DR.. Bridge upon the splendid new
instrument by Messrs. Hill & Sons;
and the head has been cleverly replaced
by new carving during the past week.
Maj. Andre was an adjutant- general
in the British army, and was taken in
disguise on his return from secret ex-
petition to the traitorous American
general, Arnold, September %, 1880.
He was sentenced to execution as a spy
by court of Gen. Washington's Off
GERS at Tappan, New York, and he suf-
fered death by hanging. a

a COMPARISON.

The amount of money expended in
the Improvement of the sanitary condi-
ton of London is SO great that the fig
ures appear fabulous. The Thames en-
bankment alone cost as much as the en-
tire sewerage system and the entire ex-
pense of sanitary measures in any city
in the United States. Yet the prev
alence of malarial and infectious dis
eases in our large cities bears no pro-
portion at all to their prevalence in
London. There were S79 cases of
smallpox in London at her last report,
and it was then spreading. There have
been but eight cases of smallpox in
Chicago since January 1.
