A New Soda Motor.

In a recently patented soda motor, in
tended for use on street railways, the
process of gathering steam is as follows;
The caustic soda, which is contained in
a reservoir surrounding the steam boiler,
is raised to high initial temperature by
means of Jets of burning gas or petro-
leum, thus evaporating all moisture from
the soda. The heat from the soda pro-
duces steam in the boiler, which is APP
piled to an ordinary engine; the exhaust
steam from the engine is then absorbed
by the soda, producing heat sufficient to
generate steam, until the soda is super
charged with moisture, when the jets of
flame, which in the meantime have been
dipensed with, are again ignited to re-
generate and reheat the soda. The opera
tion may be repeated continuously. This
is modification of the soda motors
which have been in use several years
past in this country and in Europe

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
ALeERT's AUTOGRAPH, ALBUM.

Young Archibald Albert, an orderly boy,
Once had, to his very great pleasure and joy,
An autograph album presented to him.
Its pages were neat and its covers were trim.
Within its gay bindings of superfne leather
He promptly endeavored to gather together
The names of his every relat. on and friend,
Till the book should be filed from beginning
to end.
But soon he perceived, with surprise and dis
may
And disapprobation, the very strange way
In which people wrote in his elegant book
He found it distressing to give it a look.
Some autographs proved such a tangle and
scraw
You scarce could determine their letters at
While others were crooked, and some seemed
to stray
To the edge of the page. as if running away.
Some looked as if caught in terrible gale;
His grandfather's trembled; grandmother's S
was pale;
His fathers was blotty and struggled awry;
His mother wrote nicely-he begged her to
try.
He pondered the matter, then purchased
another
Fine album, as bright and complete as the
other,
And carefully copied the names every one,
As neatly and fairly as it could be done.
With every angle and every line
Drawn out like copy correctly and fine.
With every and with every
Neatly dotted and crossed as they needed to
be.
His letters were regular, even and nice,
His capitals stately, exact and precise.
Breathed a sigh of relief from his orderly
soul,
And exclaimed to himself: 1T is better by
Than letting each one write his own auto

ITALIAN PAPERS.
The Undeveloped State of the Daily Pres
of Italy.

The Undeveloped State of the Daily Press
of Italy.
There are about two hundred daily
papers in Italy. Nothing analogous to
the county or village newspaper in
America exists in the italian peninsula.
As for the large cities and those of the
second and third class, they are amply
supplied, as will appear from the fol-
lowing statement: There are in Milan
eight, in Rome twentv-three, in Venice
six, in Genoa six, in Naples seven, in
Turin five, in Florence fve and IN
Palermo three. Those in Milan are in
the most reasonable proportion, for
there are only eight, and tne population
is not far from 100000 while
the people of Lombardv are the most
energetic and Intelligent IN Italy.
The twenty-three at Rome
are the anomaly. Rome has popula-
ton of 100000, or a little more than
half that of San Francisco, yet it has
three or four times the number of daily
newspapers. Of these the Romano
Popolo, sort of Government organ,
has circulation of $4,000. 1t is in
telligently edited and influential and
reasonable, like most of the journals of
the country, which, when they entertain
ultra-republican views like the Secolo, at
Milan, content themselves with mild ex-
pressions of opinion. that the public
harmony may not be disturbed. The
SecolO, which is said to have a circula-
ton of 100000, is seen everywhere in
Italy and occasionally is sold at news
stands in France and Spain. 1t has
reputation for ability and enterprise not
only among its partisans but its enemies,
and the manner in which it is con-
Quoted is more like that of first-class
American than any other journal in
Italy. The general distribution of news
papers indicates the prevailing degree
of intelligence in the localities where
they are published, Rome being a nota-
BILE exception. Naples, though having
200,00 more inhabitants than Milan,
has less daily newspapers, while Paler-
mo, a great and important city, has
only three. Genoa is about the size of
Rome, yet has but six dailies and an ig-
norant reading constituency. The
greatest proportion of illiteracy is, of
course, found at Naples and down
through Calabria into Sicily, and here
there is not only a greatly diminished cir
culation of newspapers, but of all kinds
of literature.-ParnaG (Itaty) Cor. San
Francisco Chronicle.
