MAMARoNEcK's NEW DEPOT.

The directors of the Consolidated road
voted at a meeting held on Saturday to build
a new depot at Mamaroneck, either of stone
or brick, at a cost of nearly SIC, 900. A
building somewhat similar to that to be built
at Branford probably will be erected. A
committee consisting of Messrs. Trowbridge
of New Haven, Wheeler of Bridgeport and
Park of New York was appointed to take
charge of the construction. Probably the
four datioDs for both stations will be built
this winter. The board voted to allow the
Stamford horse railroad company to run its
cars up to the platform of the depot in that
town.

THE HENNEY ENGINE SUPERIOR.

The result of trial between the new Hem
ney engine, No. 81, of the regulation pattern
used on the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, and the Wooten engine of
the Philadelphia and Reading road. the lat
ter having been run on the New Haven road
for week or two recently, shows that the
Henney engine is superior for the work of
the latter road. Each engine had weeks
trial on the same train. The Wooten engine
has cylinders 81 by % inches and So feet
driving wheels and the Henney has cylinders
1S by % inches and 81 feet wheels. The
Wooten engine used 1000 pounds of coal
and the Henney 50,680. The Henney en-
CINE converted so, 400 gallons of water into
steam, the average steam pressure was 142
80, the car mileage was 8, 1913 and the engine
mileage 1, 212. With the Wooten engine the
figures were: Gallons of water converted
into steam, SO, $50 1-2; average steam pres
sure, $50; car mileage, 7,455; engine mile
age, 1913. The Henney engine drew more
cars and consumed less coal than the other.

A Peep at Mighty Teneri6e.

Surely that little shining hill is not the
mighty Teneriffe that has all these years
loomed up so grandly in my imagina-
ton. But as day after day went by that
little shining hill peering over the ridge
grew and grew upon me-or rather !
grew up toward it. Grandeur and sub
Unity are not attributes of things, but
are sentiments and emotions of the mind
The peak was not at fault. 1t was /.
And gradually trained by reverent study
my puny soul expanded to a growing
comprehension Of the awful majesty be-
fore me.
There are in the world much higher
mountains than this. Pixies peak is
nearly 5000 feet high-but the whole
country about its base is already 5000
feet. Thus, to the observer, the noun
tain proper is only 5000 feet. Teneriffe
springs its whole height directly from
the sea itself. and, as if this was not
enough, the water Immediately surround
ing it is very deep. Soundings have
been made to the depth of $4,000 feet.
Thus, this mountain, from its top to its
base, is $4,000 feet or over seven miles
high.-Canary Islands Cor. Detroit Free

A ARad Case Of ForRetfulneas.

AIknow of man who forgot his name
and did not recall it for two years." said
a newspaper man, shut in this case the
forgetting was associated with pathetic
misfortune followed by a long period in
which there was no memory. But the
other day friend of mine came into my
office about O'Clock, spent half an hour
in looking over the papers, and then
said, 4 can't imagine what makes me
feel so queer to-day. don't remember
ever to have had such symptoms as ]
have experienced within the last hour.
He stopped short in his explanation, and
exclaimed, BY George, forgot to eat
my breakfast this morning. And he
had. This is the worst case that have
known of forgetfulness in what we may
call the ordinary walks of life."-Inter

Penetrative Power OF a New Burner.

At recent meeting of the Dublin
ROYAL society, Prof. F. w. Barrett gave
an account of experiments which he had
made to test the penetrative power of the
wenham double quadriform burner in
fogs. This burner consists Of four super
posed ss-jet gas burners placed along
side of four similar superposed burners.
The eight burners are in one plane, par
allel to which, and at the proper focal
distance. are eight annular lenses on one
side. and similar set Of lenses on the
other. The lights blend into one at
distance of 100 feet from the light
house.
The experiments were made on two
foggy evenings, on the second of which
the fog was so dense as to cut off pow
erful revolving light at half the distance,
and to silence fog siren driven by
gas engine. and placed beside the Wen
ham light. The latter was easily seen by
the naked eye, and its position deter
mined, at six miles distance. The re-
volving light in that case was cut off at
something under three miles distance

posed surface a groundwork or drab
upon which a yellowish rosette with
blue center is worked. A metal shank
with small metal disk painted black
completes the article. In the manufac-
turing they must cost about 40 cents a
gross. One of these is given to each per-
son who has audience with the governor,
and il is worn in the lapel of the coat as
badge of the royal favor.

distance of seventy-eight miles to place
called Cottonwood island. The discharge
of the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can
be plainly heard at Colorado canyon, a

understood in the narrows OF the grand
canyon of the Colorado for distance of
eighteen miles. The whistle of Colo

o BLESSED SLEEP.

o blessed sleep, the rosebuds red
That blew in sunset skies are dead.
The night winds woo at this soft hour,
Full many a star TO golden flower
In heavens dusky meads oerhead.
With flashing wings now closed, now
spread
The firefles all the darkness thread,
But all things else obey thy power
o blessed sleep!
Ny soul casts Off all doubt and dread;
Despair beyond the stars has fed,
And hides him in some lonely tower.
Then fold me in thy slumberous bower,
Where poppies droop their languid head,
o blessed sleepl

The Process. for Obtaining Aluminium.

A committee of the Franklin institute.
Philadelphia. has reported strongly in
favor of new process for obtaining pure
aluminium from aluminium oxide or
broken corundum, discovered and per-
fected by Eugene III. Coles, of Cleveland.
The committee regards the innovation as
one of the highest importance on ac-
count of the cheapness to which it re-
duces this hitherto extremely expensive
metal. 1t is claimed that the new pro-
cess of electric smelling within the next
five or ten years is destined to revolution
ize the sass and bronze trade of the
world. as the Brsse ner converter has the

Our Government. Medal of Honor.

The general public is not aware of the
existence of medal of honor which is
conferred by vote of congress on officers
and enlisted men in the naval and mill
tary service of the United States. The
manner in which this decoration is con-
ferred is not calculated TO render it
widely known, as it is always voted on
in a hurry, along with a lot of other
routine military business, and sent to its
winner by mail without the least cere-
mony. The medal was created during
the civil war and has many wearers.-
