TIE COST OF HIGH SPEED.


Some experiments have been
made lately upon the Bound
Brook Route to ascertain the differ
enee in the consumption of coal bas
tween an express train running on
schedule time and the same tram
run a. Vtry low speed, but o,ber-
IIse under the same conditions, the
same fga cars and precisely similar
engines being us-d. The trains ran
in each case from Phiadelphi to
boend Brook and back, q dis,anse
Of 1I9 miles. The slow trip was
made in 0 hours 90 minutes, 4 APO
pounds OF coal being consumed. TIE
train stopped at the same pisces as
the regular express train. the only
unusual feature of the trip be-
ing the funeral pace, averaging
little over 1218 miles an nouT.
When running on schedule time the
C assumption was 6,725 pounds,
agres;ng closely with the usual con-
sumption on this route with the
regular five>csr express trains. The
saving effec ed in coal by running
the train at very slow pace was
2,305 pounds. The percentage of
saving may be expressed in two
ways: ss com pared with the con-
sumption at the normal express
sreed, the slew speed shows 8 saving
Of "a 2 per cent. while the con.
sumption at the high speed shows
an increase over that at the low
speed of 81 per cent.
These figures show that high speed
Is not so expensive as it is generally
imagined. The speed of 125 miles
an hour for s. through passenger
train making few stops is, OF course,
impracticahle. for various Ieasobs.
Probably the d ffergnce in coal cen
sumption betweea the lowest speed
pTsetIeslly possible under ordinary
conditions end q high express speed
is even smaller than the figures
given, which represent a lower speed
than is ever attained Gu an ordinary
railroad.
High speed TO a certain extent
diminishes both She mum Der OF men
and amount Of rolling stock neces.
sary to carry given irsflic; and this
saving must be set against the in
crease in coal consumption and
wesr and tear. In the case under
notice, at slow speed, the run Of
119 miles would make a fair days
work for both trainmen and train;
whereas, at the normal speed, al.
lowing for the necessary delay at sta
tions, switching, turning and load
ing engine, etc, quite double the
mileage might Ia made in q Gay. AS
engint men are ordinarily paid by
the tiip, this would not reduce their
wSges unless some change were
made in the practice, but probably
some change would be made # runs
which nov require SIX CT seven
hours we're reduced TO four or five.
Double the amount of rolling stock
being required, tina round houses,
etc, must be larger and the aidings
IN which to store ths cars must be
longer. The interest on the additional
rolling stock and plant would
TINS amount to quite large figure.
In some cases the slower train
might actually he the more expen>
sive to run, leaving on one side all
questions ss to the convenience of
rapid travelling and it's effect In I'M
creasing the volume OF travel. On
the whole. the result Of these exper~
iments seems to be strongly in favor

THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE.

There is to be- seen at Landrec!es,
in the department OF the north, an
invalid artillery soldier, who was
wounded in the late Francc.German
war, when he was horribly mutiIated
by the bursting of a Prussisn shell.
The mans face was literally blown
off, including both eyes, there being
left behind some scanty remnants
of the osseous and muscular systems.
The skull, which is we'll covered
with hair. was left intact, SO that
the man had a most hideous and
CHASTITY appearance. This disfg-
urement has been completely
concealed by mssE, which was
made fer him under The direction
of the principal medical officer
of Val de Grace, in Paris, whittier
he had been transferred in the field
ambulance. The mask was con-
structed by gergeon dentist named
Dalalin. it includes a fale palate
arc complete ser of false teeth
and 1t Is so perfect that the fumes
tons Of respiration and nsstication,
which we necessarily imperfectly
performed, are almost completely
restored to their FORMAL condition /;
ard the voice, which was rather
husky, as resumed its natural tone.
The man speaks distinctly; the
sense of smell, which. had entirely
disappeared, has returned, and he
can even plsy The flute. He wears
two false eyes, simply to fill up the
cavi6ies OF the orbits, for the parts
representing the eyes in ths mask
are closed. In ia t, the mask is 80
well adapted to what remains Of the
real face, as to be considered one Of
the finest specimens of the rrOthetic
art tina could be devised.
The man himself, whose game is
Morsau, and shO is in perfect
health, is looked upon as a living
curiosity, and travellers go a good
deal out of their way to gee him.
His face, or rather his mask, is OF
course, without aoy expression, but
his special senses, particularly that
of touch, are extremely developed
AID he goes by the aobrlquet of
Il hom me a la tete de cirs. He wears
the military cross OF honor, and de-
lights to talk about what he has gone
through during the war. To add to
his meagre pension, he sells a small
pamphlet containing a full descrip-
tion of his wounds, and of the a.
paratus that has bsen so skilifully
devised as to render him at least
pre- entable to his fellow creatures.

He was on the staff OF General Stone

Utah Affairs.

SALT LAKE, September 28.-The en-
panelling of a grand jury for the third
district court was completed yesterday
evening. The Poland bill requires that
200 names, usually half from each party,
be placed in the box to be drawn from as
necessary to fill the panel. The system
Of rejecting Mormons on belief in poly
gamy, adopted by Judge Zane, exhaust
ed the names without completing the
jury. AS there is no provision under
the law for such an emergency, the
conclusion among the people and a maj
GRITTY of the lawyers, including the
district attorneys, was that no grand
jury could be empanelled till the Janu-
airy term. However, Judge Zane placed
an open yenire in the hands of the
marshal for the four names required.
The general opinion is that the whole
proceeding is illegal.

What Conkl1ng Really Said.

One Of the latest of the many stories
told of Mr.. Conkling is that recently,
when approached in the interest Of the
Maine statesmen he turned upon the
ambassador and said: "Pray give my
compliments to Mr.. Blaine, and tell him /
have no criminal practice" This story,
like most fctions, has a foundation of
fact, but as related it does injustice to
Mr.. Conkling. He did not send such a
discourteous message, or indeed any
message. to Mr.. Blaine. In conversation
with one of his friends, however, the
efforts which had been made to induce
him to take the stump in MI. Blaine's
behalf were mentioned, and he said !:
II I'M not in criminal practice, there
fore could not be expected to defend Mr..
Blaine" The remark being repeated
reached the ears of a New York reporter,
who distorted it into a reply to Mr..
Blaine's messenger.-Chicago News.

More Indendiary Fires In Cleveland.

CLEVELAND, o., September 27.-At
l O'Clock this afternoon the 18th incen-
diary fire in Cleveland within 48 hours
was started in the lumber yard of the
Cleveland Saw Mill and Lumber Co., in
the heart Of the great lumber district on
the flats. A strong wind carried the
flames eastward through the yard, de-
stroying one million feet of lumber and
about fifty feet oftrestle Of the Conoulton
Valley railroad, cutting off trains from
access to the depot. The fire was mere
checked with a loss of 500, 900.
About 4 O'Clock a small boy standing
near the passenger station of the Con-
oultol Valley railroad, observed a eman
creeping up stealthily to a baggage car
and passenger coach standing on the
side track. Shortly after he noticed
flames issuing from the rear of the
coach and he Immediately gave the
alarm. A locomotive backed up and
drew the cars into an open space, where
they were completely Quilted, with a
loss of only $1,000. The entire fire de-
partment was at the lumber fire, and
had the flames from the burning cars
reached the depot, a large district dense
ly filled with wooden buildings must
ave been swept bare.
Toward 5 O'Clock a fire was discovered
in Greene's block, St. Clair street, but
was extinguished without damage. The
kindling used were two packing boxes
saturated with kerosene.
Purdy & Mcneil, n of the largest
lumber firms in the city, received an
anonymous letter from Chicago warning
them that their stock would be in ashes
before Monday morning. The machine
works received a similar warning, and
both firms have taken precautions.
The excitement is general and there
is hardly a resident of Cleveland but
feels a~pprehensive for the safety of his
property.
CLEVELAND, September 28.-About
3 O'Clock this morning the barrel house
of Schofield, Schurmer & Teagle's Great
Western oil works was destroyed by an
incendiary fire. Loss, $4,000; insur-
ance, $75, 900.
