A New Motor.

There has probably been no line of in
ventions so prolific during recent years
as that of motors, particularly as applied
to street cars. The leading ones have
been the grip and electricity, but one has
now been given birth here which may
revolutionize the whole business, and
relegate the grip, if not electricity, to q
forgotten past. Its parent is Jay Noble,
who has been for twelve years the master
mechanic of NJ. NJ. Bucks establishment.
A short time ago he announced that he
had an invention which would be great
success. He is very ingenious work
man, and when not actively engaged,
has generally been found studying out
some problem of effect. His present in
vention is an engine receiving power from
gas from coal OIL The oil is in tank in
the roof of the car, the gas being gener-
ated as used, the flash of the explosion as
it passes into the cylinder heats the air,
producing expansion. The only difficulty,
so far, has appeared to be the nervousness
of the general public in riding on or near
car carrying oil, but it is claimed that
there would be absolutely no danger
whatever. Mr. Noble claims that he can
furnish power for ten-horse engine,
which would pull three or four cars, at a
cost of one dollar day, the engine work
ing absolutely noisclessly. The engine
would occupy no more space than the
lever in grip car-St. Louis Globe.

"The Silent Woman"

Miss Frances Hranuelli, the "silent
woman" died in St. IIuke's Hospital in
this city on Sunday. In 1879, while liv-
ing with relatives in this city, Miss
Hranuelli met, loved, and was loved in
return by young sea captain then in
this port. Her relatives opposed the
match, and, as she believed, intercepted
his letters to her and tried to keep them
apart. Violent alterations ensued, and
during one of them, in paroxyism of
rage, she vowed that she never would
again open her lips in speech. For over
seven years she kept her VOW, and even
on her deathbed the efforts of her friends
to induce her to break her voluntary
silence were futile. AS her relatives
gathered around her deathbed, her sister.
with tears in her eyes, implored her to
break her VOW. if only to say good-by.
The two brothers added their entrea-
ties, but to all appeals she was obdurate.
Her brother went outside and plucked a
rose, and offered it to her. She shook
her head and refused to take it. How
ever, when the matron offered her the
same flower she took it eagerly and evil
IDENTIFY enjoyed the perfume When her
brother attempted to smooth the dying
woman's pillows she strongly dissented,
but allowed nurse to do it, and seemed
grateful. a few moments after she
breathed her last. She carried her re-
sentiment to her relatives to the bitter
end.-San Francisco Chronicle

score more manned or injured for life. and

probability that as many more have been in
iured. but concealed and cared for by their
friends Fully 5000 men. earning on an
average S1.50 day, had their demand for
eight hours refused, and remained idle dur
ing the week.

From table recently prepared by the
Director of the United States Mint, itap-
pears that during the calendar year 1886
total of $14, ,459, 464 worth of gold was
utilized in the arts and manufactures OF
the United States. Of this amount,
$7,905,163 was used in jewelry and
watches; So, 59s, 3os for watch cases; ST.
Os4, ,s24 in gold leaf; $s27, 900 for watch
chains; and the remainder in smaller
sums for dental supplies, pens, instru-
ments, plate, spectacles, chemicals, and
jewelers. supplies. During the same
period, total of SIS, $685. $50 worth of
silver was utilized for similar purposes.
Of this amount, So, 2,O6e,29 was used for
plate; $1,s15, 500 for watch cases; ST.
O9s, ,22O for jewelry and watches; and
the remainder was divided among the
other uses specified for gold. The table
is of considerable importance, for by
giving the amount of gold and silver an
nually utilized in the arts, it permits an
approximate estimate of the available
metallic currency of the country.
