No More Deatl-Centree.

Charles Cole of this city is the inven-
tor of a new engine which, he claims,
does away with the Objectionable crank
and its accompanying dead centres.
Hitherto no mode has been devised of
communicating power to the driving
wheels of locomotives and other heavy
engines except by cranks. necessitating
double steam cylinders and link motion
for reversing. Cole claims to do away
with one of the cylinders and all the
link motions, reducing the first cost of
tho engine one-third and the cost of
running one-half. Tho pilot trucks un-
der the front of the locomotive are also
done away with, the boiler and tender
combined being suspended on four
large drivers. The single steam cy-
Under is situated under tho double boil
er midway between the wheels, and the
piston runs entirely through the cy-
Under so as to communicate with each
set of wheels. On the axle of each set
is large cast-iron friction wheel with
a V-sbaped groove in its rim. In this
groove above and below run steel bars
connected with the piston rod. The
friction of tho upper bar on the friction
wheel starts the locomotive, and when
the motion Of the piston is reversed the
lower bar Immediately begins to work
on the lower surface of the same wheel.
An ingenious slotted disk and thrust
block operates to reverse the motion of
the locomotive at will.
The boiler, instead Of being single as
at present in railroad locomotives, is
made double, with double fire. boxes and
trap-hoppers, which, it is claimed,
largely reduce the cost of running by
saving coal. The invention looks very
simple and, it is said. has already been
tried on q stationary engine and a side
wheel steamer with success. Besides
railroad and stationary engines. the
invention is specially designed for use
on dummy engines and street cars

HOUSEKEEPING IN EUROPE.

Horse-breeding is increasing year by year in
Europe. Ithas been greatly stimulated in Great
Britain, France, and Belgium by the drain to
the United States Of stations of the respective
breeds of draft horses of these several coun-
tries. Another reason is the continued neces-
sity for cavalry mounts and army purposes. I'm
like this country, moreover, Governments there
seek to foster the enterprise. In relation to
this matter, the editor of the Livestock Jour
nal, London, says:
Horse-breedin9 is gaining more attention ev-
erywhere. Government studs exist in France,
Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, and now the
Provinces Of Herzegovina and Bosnia may be
added to the list. During the late Servo-Bul-
garian encounter about 900 horses were sent
from POssavina, and the possibility of demand
springing up for horeefiesh has quickened the
wits OF the powers that be in that province. A
stallion depot has been established at Serajevo,
where forty-two superior animals, chiefly Arabs,
are stationed. No charge is made for their use,
and they are dispatched during the spring and
summer months to different Districts. To these
quarters the farmers send their mares.

Josiah Hopes Gays in the Newt York Tribune,
that experience Of the last few years has
taught that for transplanting cvergreens,
August lie really the better season than spring.
We should bear in mind, however, that removal
during the heat of summer is conducive to
rapid evaporation, and caution must be observed
to provide an abundance Of moisture, not only
over the roots, but over the entire top. For
this reason choose dull. cloudy day for the
work, sLd il light drizzling rain be falling all
the better. great point gained in summer
transplanting is the formation of new roots
in the fresh soil, time enabling the tree to
endure the winter. The pine family, ~ rule
are among the most difucu]t to traneplan
properly. and the next. Is the fir. This is
owing mainly to the character of the ro0te,
which In the former at least, generally have few
