CHEAP FARE ON RAILWAYS.

We have passed through Il railway war
recently, in which tickets for over a thou
sand miles travel were sold for less than a
cent a mile. Many persons got cheap ex-
cursions because of this railway rivalry,
and there are those who believe that the
time is not distant when there will be some
relation between the charges for fare aud
freight. 4 barrel of flour will be taken
from Chicago to New York for 20 cents,
while a man or woman weighing fifty
pounds less is asked to pay 500; but the
flour and other freight has to be handled
loaded and unloaded on the cars, while a
man or woman enters and leaves the cars
without help. Fares are too high in his
regards freight it has been found profit
able to convey it great distances at a very
small charge. The various freight charges
of to-day w~ouldhave seemed ruinous twenty
years ago, and the recent experiment with
cheap fares may prove to our railway man
ayers that the increased travel would more
than make up for the reduction in the price
of tickets. When national conventions or
great exhibitions are held, the railroad
companies find it to their advantage TO
issue cheap excursion tickets. This prac-
tice helped to swell the numbers at the
Philadelphia Centennial, and all the rail
roads leading to New Orleans wisely en-
courage travel to that city while the expo
sition is under way. We notice, too, that
excursions to San Francisco and City of
Mexico are being sold at far less than their
usual rates. This practice also should be
encouraged, for every national interest is
bettered when our people are moving
either for business or pleasure from one
distant region to the other.-Demorest's

STEAM

1t now seems not unlikely that, in the
near future, steam-yachting may equal, if
not surpass. sail yachting in popular favor.
Even in a pursuit so l~eisurely as that of the
yachtsman time has a measure of value,
and in some aspects it may even be said to
be money. Delightful as are the features
of sail-yacthing, the element of uncertainty
which enters into it often becomes a Sc
rious drawback. Plans are upset by in
ability to get to certain places at certain
times; and storms, calms, fogs, or adverse
winds, may change the entire programme
of a cruise. Then, too a large proportion
of our yaclltsmen are business men, and as
such can not afford to run the risk of not
getting back to their offices and counting
rooms at the time calculated upon. This
cannot be done with a boat dependent
upon winds and tides. Therefore, for this
reason alone, steam is likely to take the
place of sails. In Europe steam has to a
great extent superseded sail III yachting.
In the United States rapid progress is max
ing in the same direction. 1t appears that
in the past season at least fifty steam
yachts have been constructed here, and
many others are now building. Expert
enee shows that the first cost is certainly
in favor of steam, while in the matter of
running expense, repairs, etc, things seem
to be about equal. Steam being, from a
popular standpoint, a comparatively new
feature in yachting; is characterized, as in
the case OF almost every new departure, by
great and rapid advances in the way of i'm
provements in propelling-power, lessening
both the first cost and the running expense,
securing greater compactness in the maehi-
merry, SO that comparatively little has
to be sacrificed. and increasing the ele-
ments of convenience, comfort and safety,
both in model and motive power. 1t is in
these latter considerations that steam has
been particularly lacking in comparison
with sailing yachts. Oatiag for .IaDVarg.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIGHTNING
RODS.

Alightning-conductO consists essentially
Of a long piece Of metal, pointed at the end.
whose business it is. not SO much Gas most
people imagine) to carry off the flash Of
lightning harmlessly. should it happen to
strike the house in which the conductor is
attached but rather to prevent the occur
renee of a flash at all, by gradually and
gently drawing off the electricity as fast as
it gathers, before it has had time to collect
in sufficient force for a destructive dis
charge. 1t resembles in effect an over
flow pipe, which drains off the surplus
water of a pond as it runs in. in such a
manner as to prevent the possibility of an
inundation, which might occuri if the water
were allowed to collect in force behind a
dam or embankment. 1t is a tlood-gate,
not a moat; it carries away the electricity
of the air quietly to the ground, without
allowing it to gather in sufficient amount to
produce a flash oflightning. 1t might thus
be better called a lightning-preventer than
a lightning conductor; it conducts electric
ity, but prevents lightning. At first, all
lightning rods used to be made with knobs
on the top. and then the electricity used to
collect at the surface until the electric force
wa; sufficient to cause a spark. In those
happy days. you had the pleasure of seeing
that the lightning was actually being drawn
off from your neighborhood piecemeal.
Knobs. it was held, must be the best things.
because you could incontestably see the
sparks striking them with YOU eyes, But
as time went ON, electricians discovered
that if you fixed a fine metal point to the
conductor of an electrical machine it was
impossible to get upany appreciate charge.
because the electricity kept always leaking
ont by means of the point. Then it was
seen that if you made your lightning rods
pointed at the end, you would be able in
the same way to dissipate your electricity
before it ever had time to come to a head
in the shape of lightning. From that mo-
ment the thunder-bolt was safely lead and
buried. 1t was urged, indeed, that the It
tempt thus to rob heaven of its thunders
was wicked and impious; but the common
sense of mankind refuses to believe that
absolute ~omnipotence could be sensibly de
fed by twenty yards of cylindrical iron
tubing,-C0rnHiW Maqaztne.

STREET RAlLwAYsARRoAD.

Horse-car railways are an American IN
vention. and have been introduced into ev-
cry town in this country having 10000 in
habitaats or more. In New York State
there are nearly $50 miles Of street rail-
road. but in Europe the mileage Of these
tramwsys, as they are there called, is rela.
lively small. In the United Kingdom in
1882 there were only 563 miles Of road. Of
which seventy were in London and 11s in
Manchester. In the same year there were
only 327 railways i'll France, Of which 155
were in Paris. Our New York elevated
road system is, SO far, ahead Of the world;
but Berlin boasts Of an elevated road seven
miles long, the motive power Of which il

THE WEST JERSEY RAILROAD.

III speaking of the railroads running in
to Camden, a Philadelphia papers says:
The West Jersey Railroad, under the sup
e~rintendence Of Joseph Crawford, has
thirty-three engines, and at present is run
ing about fifty cars on its passenger trains.
Twenty passenger trains leave Federal
street, daily, of which number three run to
Cape May. two to Atlantic City, on the
Atlantic City branch, which branches of
at Newfeld; three to Sea Isle City every
day and four on Saturday and Monday;
six to Salem, two via the Glassboro branch
and four via the Swedesboro branch; and
four run to Bridgeton on the Bridgeten
branch. Other trains run only as far as
Woodbury., and are called Woodbury. local
trains. The various branches on the West
Jersey road are the Swedesboro branch,
which runs off at Woodbury.; the Bridge
ton and Salem branches, which run from
G~lassboro; the Atlantic City branch, which
leaves the main line at Newfield. and the
Sea Isle City branch, which DIVORCES at
S~eaville. The New Jersey Southern rail-
roud crosses nearly all these branches,
while the Delaware Road runs off from
Woodbury. to Pennsgrove. In the summer
season from one hundred and twenty-five
to one hundred and thirty ears are run
over the West Jersey railroad to Atlantic
City and Cape May, thus nearly three
times the number of passengers are carried.
On the West Jersey division are the thriv-
ing small cities of Woodbury., Glassboro,
Swedesboro. Malaga, Yineland. Clayton,
Elmer. Millville, etc, principally glass
manufacturing towns, so that a good
freight traffic is the result.

No one can be taught faster than he can

Native ability without education is like
a tree which bears no fruit.
A prudent man, with the fear of God be-

To know, and not have the ability to

opinions of the generation that is vanish

They ask no questions, they pass no criti-

To develop in each individual all the

THE LUCKY HORSESHOE.

Now that the horseshoe. as a pretty
symbol of good luck, forms so much a
part of household decoration, it may not
be amiss to say a word about its sig
nifcance in the olden times. The horse
shoe was anciently believed to be an
effectual protection against witchcraft Il
witches, who could no more overcome the
s~anctity of its semi-circular form than they
could the movement of a stream which even
the most powerful could not cross, if i'll the
shape of a running brook, as witness the race
of Tam O'Shanter. who, pursued by them,
passed the keystone of the bridge himself,
while the tail of his good mare, o. the
wrong side thereof, became the prey of the
pursuing warlocks. We have seen the
horseshoe nailed to the Intel of barns and
masts of vessels, for a witch, mounted
on her broomstick, might take it into her
head to descend upon some unlucky craft,
or she might call up the surging waves to
ingulf it, unless it We're protected by this
holy symbol. For a horse to cast a shoe
was a bad omen when a gallant knight
was about to start upon some expedition;
hence if a horse stumbled, which lie would
be sure to do if imperfectly shod, was un-
lucky. We do not, in our day, believe much
in witches or bad signs, but everybody is
pleased with the good luck implied in the
finding of a horseshoe. By an old Nor
man custom which has been preserved to
the present. the venerable castleat Oakham
is plentifully bedecked with h~orseshoes.
The Lords de Freres were i'll oldentimes
entitled to demand from every baron on
his first passing through the tow a shoe
from off one of his horses feet. There are
several shoes over two hundred years old,
the most notable being one given by
Queen Elizabeth, one by George "; and
one by Queen Victoria. The Princess of
Wales recently visited the town, and neon
formity with the custom a gilt shoe with
her name inscribed on it will be fastened to
the castle wall. In our day it is not much
to give a gildod horseshoe, as did the Prin-
cess of Wales, but it was a serious thing to
an old knight, who. giving direct from his
horses foot, parted with his good luck
