$50 MILES AN HOUR.
Efforts at Improvement in Locomotives
Possibilities in Railroad Speed.
San Francisco Chronicle

San FRANCISCO Chronicle.
When George Stephenson asserted his
ability to run passenger coaches at a
speed of twelve to fifteen miles an hour,
scientific and practical men deemed him
lit for lunatic asylum, bat time has
shown that trains may be run at much
greater velocity without materially add
ing to the dangers of railway travel.
The flight of the fast express on the
Pennsylvania railway is marked ex-
ample of the possibilities in the way of
sustaining high rates of speed. This
road now runs the fastest train in Ameri-
ca Nine hundred and twelve miles, in
Guiding several stops, are accom- plished
in 25l5 hours, and the average time is
$3.50 miles an hour. A portion of the
distance is run at the rate of rs miles an
hour. At a speed of so miles an hour
the driving wheels of the locomotive on
this train make 25S15 revolutions min
ute. William Vanderbilt's squirt of eigh-
ty-one miles in sixty-one minutes on the
New York Central is declared to be the
highest rate of speed ever attained in
this country, but this speed was not sur
prise to good engineers, many of whom
are firm in the belief that 100 miles an
hour will yet be accomplished on Ameri-
can roads,
Thirty-one years ago Colonel Meiggle
read paper before the New York Farm
ers club on Future Travelling" in which
he expressed the belief that railroad cars
could be safely propelled by steam at the
rate of 800 miles an hour. He said: THE
Emperor of Russia has taken the first
step toward what { desm the ultinnatum
of railroad travel. Instead Of cutting
what call mere drill through the coun-
try and going around everything in the
way for straight line, he has cut a
broad way for five hundred miles
from st. Petersburg to Moscow.
II has made it all the way two
hundred feet wide, SO that the engineer
sees everything on the road. This is no
part of the futuro-the railroad from
point to point with a mathematical line;
the rails ten times stronger than are now
used; the locomotive on wheels of far
greater diameter; the gauge of a relative
breadth; the signals and times perfectly
settled; the roads on both sides during
the transit of trains having the gates of
the walls all closed-then, instead of
travelling one hundred miles an hour, we
shall more safely travel three hundred
miles an hour"
One of the latest efforts at improve
ment in locomotives is that of French
man nomed Estrada, who has constructed
en- engins which he calls La Parisienne.
La Parisienne, when watered and fired,
weighs forty-two tons. its driving
wheels, six IN number, are So feet in
diameter. The cylinders are on the out
side, with valve-boxes on the top. The
diameter of each cylinder is So inches,
and the length of stroke is 2 feet and 3 =
inches. This engine is built for high
speed, and will carry pressure of 200
pounds to the square inch above the at
mosphere, or an absolute pressure of 215
pounds. Estrade's engine is designed run
to at the average rate of seventy eight
miles an hour.

4 Cooks Good Fortune.
London News

correspondent sends us some partic.
ulars respecting the report which was Duh
llshed few days ago that cook in tina
service of 9. q. Lane, rector of Little
Gaddesden, Herts, had come into for.
tune of 100000. The lucky person is
widow named AdcocR, and she has been
with Mr.. Lane only about year. The
statement that she has received the mon.
ely is premature, but there is no reason tn
doubt that she will do so, ard that prob.
ably in few days. She mas received as
surances that her title is ucdisputed, and
she has been accepted by the court of
chancery as one of the heirs. Nor has
the amount been overestated. The lep
acy is part of the proceeds of an estate in
London of the value, it is said, OF be.
tween e2,000,O00 and e3,000,0OO, which
sum is to be divided among ten claimants.
The estate belonged to Mrs. Adcock's
grandfather, gentleman named Atwell,
and was originally very much larger; but
in the lifetime of the testator some six
teen houses were given to one of the Lon
don hospitals. A singular circumstance
Is connected with the recovery OF this
property. Money deposited in chancery
lapses to the crown in the event of no
heirs turning up i'll certain number of
years, and is applied to the reduction of
the national debt; and In the present in
stance the claim was lodged only two
days before the expiry of tho period.
Since Mrs Adcock received intimation of
her fortune she has left her situation,
and is at present residing in London.
Although she is is about sixty years of
age, it is SAID she has already received
thirteen offers of marriage. The rectory
has during the last few days been besieg,
ed with shoals of letters from persons
soliciting donations for all sorts of char
liable and other purposes, and as Mrs.
Adcock has left Little Gaddesden Rev.
Mr.. Lane would like it to be known that
he has nothing whatever to DO with the
disposal of the money.

In tho report of President Arthur's
funeral the New York Herald gives the
following bit of graphic description;
And now there occurred a memorable
scene.
After Dr. Rainsford had read the les
son from Corinthians, with rare elegance
and deep feeling, Mr.. Morgan gave
ont the hymn, Nearer, my God to
Thee"
All the congregation rose, and as. the
familiar notes burst from choir and or
gan pipe some sympathetic spirits in the
great gathering caught up the strain.
The movement was infectious. The
melody flew from mouth to mouth. Old
mems voices quavered, young mems
voices vibrated, women's voices thrilled
the air, and a strange wave of feeling
swept over the crowd, and made every
heart beat faster, and brought tears to
many an eye.
1t was memorable scene.
There was the martial power of the Ma
ton represented by the leaders of the
armies; there was it's Ixight upon the wa

there was the chief magistrate of the

There on the one side was that great

his own destiny had carried him beyond
the highest ambitions he had conceived,
Roscoe Conkling, quite alone, stiff, sta

An kIpert in Chrysanthemums.
New York Sun

Chang Yen Hoon, the Chinese minister
at Washington, and Vow Jiar Shee, his
chief secretary, visited the chrysanthe-
mum exhibition yesterdayin Cosmopoli-
tan hall, Forty first street and Broadway.
They were in native costume, and we're
accompanied by Consul Lieu, of New
York city. Minister Hoon was shown
around the gorgeously colored flower show
by Secretary John Thorpe. The minister
took great interest in the Chinese varie-
ties, and he indicated that he had not
lived in the political atmosphere OF Wash
ington in vain by remarking to Secretary
Thorpe, unofficially, and through his
interpreter, Mr.. Vow Jiar Shee, that he had
not seen even in China such beautiful
varieties of chrysanthemums as he found
at the New York show.
The secretary Thorpe invited Minister
Hoon to name any varieties he wanted
and they should be sent to his address in
Washington. The minister with one
finger, pointed at the varieties that pleased
him, as passed along. The names of the
the selections he made will be of value to
all lovers of the Chinese school of cnry-
sautkemums. To the modern school of
Japanese chrysanthemum admirers the
list will be of no use, because Minister
Hoon scorned to notice the Japanese
varieties.
