THE SODA MOTOR TEST
Postponed Until To-day on Account
of Slight Break.

In response to the formal invitation by
the motor company to witness the soda
test. two special trains filled with specta-
tors left Sixth street yesterday afternoon
and steamed TO Lake Calhoun. Most of
the aldermen were present, those only be-
ing accepted who were engaged in COM
mittee work at the city hall. Property
owners of the Eighth ward went out in
force, and among the crowd were noticed
the familiar faces of several prominent
anti-motor men. including those of Elwood
S. Corser and George a. Bracket. Aid.
Babb. Lawrence and Cooley were in COM
mand of one car, and looked particularly
serene and happy, but a satirical smile
curled Mr. Corser'S lip and grave doubt
clouded Mr.. Brackets open face. Motors
in all their varied bearings, were literally
discussed all the way out, and the opinion:
expressed were simply motor and anti
motor, the latter meaning anti-anything
that-wili- draw-a-car.
The soda motor had been put in READINGS:
shortly after noon, and after the charg'
sped playfully up and down the track for {
few hours. But, as by some dispensation
just as the special trains hove in sight, ont
of the thermometers burned out, rendering
the machine absolutely helpless. 1t would
have required about two hours to replace
but rather than detain the crowd. Mr.
Small decided to postpone the exhibition L
the same hour to-day. The large party tool
the accident very graciously and good
naturedly, and to-day the crowd Will prob
| ably be larger than ever.

description OF the Process and
Principle of Operating Il.
There has been as much discussion of as
wonderment at the actual principle of the
soda motor system. Engineer \. {. Harris
thus describes it: A suitable quantity of
the properly diluted soda raised to its boil
ing point (429 is placed in a closed tank
in intimate contact with the steam boiler
filled win steam and water In the usual
proportions and at the working pressure.
On the opening of the throttle steam passes
into the cylinders. does its work, and passes
into the soda solution through the exhaust
pipe, which ends in perforated tube eX-
tending through the soda, the remaining
heat being absorbed into the latter. When
the soda is so dilute that il can no longer
maintain the difference of temperature nee
eSSary 10 make steam. the soda I've is dis
charged and a new charge OF hot condensed
soda taken i'm. This operation requires
about i've minutes and is called recharging;
il has TO be done on an average once III SIX
hours.
The operation of the engine is precisely
that of any steam engine except that there
is no exhaust into the air and no tire nor
smoke connected with the boiler. Steam is
produced without ire by the heat generated
in the soda i've which surrounds the boiler
and the exhaust steam is led from the cylin-
der directly into the soda I've instead OF into
the air. Thus working pressure is main
tanned without any OF the Objectionable va
| pOrS appearing, as IN the case Of the ordi-
nary motor, for the simple reason that there
are no vapOrs TO appear. So far as the sense
OF sight is concerned, the soda motor might
| be dry-goods box or a wheelbau0w for all
the evidence OF heat or steam or vapOr
there is about il. Ii it does not please the
public, the objection will be something be-
sides the motive power.

OeEDIHus
Since the incipiency of the municipal
campaign the name of A r. Chestnut has
been quite favorably mentioned as All avail
able candidate for alderman in the Eighth
ward. His friends importuned him to enter
the lists. At first he peremptorily declined,
then he hesitated and said, 'Ill see; posi-
bly, l will" but nothing definite was known
until yesterday, when delegation OF the
leading Republicans of the ward waited
upon him and asked final answer
Il have not desired the honor" he re-
piled. but am Republican and if it is
true that am the choice of majority of
majority of my party l will withdraw all
my objections and run" He was assured
that he was the bona fide choice, and last
evening he gave his consent
Aid. Lawrence will be his opponent at
the polls. He is the prohibitionist
niminee, who was nominated,
as Elder Satterlee explained, be-
cause he is a consistent prOhibitionist
The Republicans of the ward are up in arms
against having Prohibitionist forced upon
them. They say that if they cannot find
timber enough in their own party they had
best give up the ship. This, together will

The Globes Boom for sly TakinE
Among the Republicans.

Among the Republicans
The GLOBE of Sunday evidently struck
popular chord in the Republican party, in
bringing out Aid. w. w. Sly as a candidate
of the party tor mayor. Since then all of
the changes have been rung upon the an
nouneement and Mr.. Sly'S banner is still
there. So far then, Aid. Sly and
Clark are the only pronounced candidates
of the Republican party. Though the latter
has long been in the field the former is much
the more skilled diplomat and politician
and will easily distance him before the con-
vention. Sly stands squarely on the Re-
publican platform as an alderman. even if
hi, practice as an Individual may deviate
somewhat. He will make good candidate
and viii gracefully accept the defeat in
store for him in case he gets the nomina-
ton. But the idea OF having an active
hustler like Sly in the field has demoraliZed
the plans of several Of the Self-apponted
leaders who had arranged to have delegates
gOWithout choice into the convention, there
10 do as they were instructed. But this
will not be the first Republican card house
10 be rudely shattered and it now seems
that every effort OF the party will be doomed
to fail. 1t is the off year for Republicans
and whether the gallant Sly or the temper
ate Clark be the leader neither had better
resign his position in the council just now.
Mr.. Sly is no mosSback, but he will repre-
sent a moSSbacked party, while Mr.. CLARK
has lichen all over him.
