There is nothing shocking about this
brief conversation, though II Is unneces-

the enthusiastic young man who has In

Nowhere do friends get acquainted so
rapidly as in the rude embrace OF the
ocean. The extent to which Irritation
goes on in the warm sea water here at
Cape May exceeds the most romantic and
girlish imagination. Nearly every young
woman secures, as promptly as possible,
n man TO take her into the ocean. Long
and troublesome friendships have been
known to be made during brief bathing
season. The code OF the public ballroom
Is applied to the beach and to the surf.
Courtesy requires that such an acquaint-
ance should not be presumed upon ashore.
THE bathing hour Is "high noon" and,

Do you think she'll be likely TO favor the

Chicago man, II the fellow didn't begin to

For Using Sand.


A device for using sand advantageously
on locomotives which has not as yet been
tried in this country, so far as we know,
and which seems worthy Of attention and
expe riment, is illustrated in late issue
Of the Engineer, as feature OF new
express passenger locomotive built by
the Messrs. Nelson for the Caledonian
railway small jet of compressed air
is introduced into the center Of the sand
pipe by a suitable connection, which has
the effect Of throwing the sand to pre-
cisely the point where it is wanted under
the wheel. Consequently, the quantity
can be very much diminished for equal
effect, and it is said that the quantity of
sand required when in constant operation
is only one pound per mile.
This particular engine has only one pair
of driving wheels(7 feet diameter, lSx26
inch cylinders) so that less quantity Of
sand might naturally be used, but the gap
between one pound per mile and the
quantity which would be necessary per
mile II used in the ordinary way is great,
and indicates promising ield for inves-
tigstion. The Engineer says that "this is
perhaps the first time where sand has
been used on scientific principles" in
England.
How much cir is used is not stated, and
the details Of the device are not shown
very accurately in the engraving, but the
Jet escapes about six inches from the
ori6ce of the sand pipe, and several
inches back of that again there seems to
be a small annular passage for the sand,
the space beyond and around the point Of
the air jet being considerable.
The jet Is always In operation when
the traction requires it while the engine
is running with train, and it is worked
simultaneously with and by the same
handle as the sandwiches. - Railroad Ga
