AN ELABORATE TEMPLE
Erected in Buffalo and Dedicated to
Cremation.

A magnificent crematory temple has re-
Gently been erected III Buffalo. Our first pic
ture gives al excellent idea of its unique
exterior.
The building is Of brown stone, with a red
slate roof. Little attempt is made at decora-
ton, the massiyeness of the masonry being
the principal architectural feature. The
ground plan of the building includes a roorny
auditorium, with a seating capacity of
200 or 800, an organ room, u chancel where
religious ceremonies may be conducted,
together with the furnace roora and the
necessary reception rooms and offices for con-
ducting the c%oinpany3s business. The base
ment viii be fitted up as a colunbaiium,
with inches in the walls, where urns, con-
tanning the ashes of the dead, may be depos-
tied. The high portion of the building in the
center is the furnace room proper. The flue
from the furnace is built up in one of tho
walls, and is thus concealed from view.

M~ilestcnes Oh tha Road to Health.

The recovery of digestion, and the resump-
tion of activity by the liver, bowels and kid
neys are milestones that mark our progress on
the rond to health. They speedily become
pcrceptible when Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is used by the invalid. Nothing so surely and
desired goal. A no bodily function can suffer
interruption without impairing the general
health of the system, so the system can never
ACQUIRE perfect vieor, health's synonm, until
that function be actively resumed. Take, for
instance, digestion, u suspension of which is
invariably rectiied by the Bitters. If the or
gans upon which it devulves grow weak, bill
the blood. ard q hundred other symptoms
supervene, which indicate Enthusiastically the
haneful general influence of dyspe psia. The
disappearance of all these symptoms through
the use OF the Bitters, show with what

a nigh Speed LocomotIye.
EsrnApE

Civil engineers in our sister republic across
the ocean have long been puzzling their brains
over a locomotive that can be propelled easily
and safely at u speed of seyanty-five miles an
hour. al. lEstrade has designed one which is
about completed and will shortly b tested.
The Illustration gives a general idea of its
construction. The principal dimensions are
as follows: Total length, So feet; width be.
tween longitudinals, 4 feet; diameter of the
wheels, ST. feet; weight of engine, empty, IS
tons; weight of engine, loaded, ~ tons.
French engineers. are in raptures over this
machine, and one of them says:
1t is impossible not to be struck by the char
acter of grandeur and power of this beautiful
engine, with its six driving wheels, of one
diameter in common Of 81 feet, mounted up
on three coupled axles. The inventors idea.
1T will be remembered, consists in generally
ing the use of wheels of large diameter. in
the extension, to high speeds, of the coupling
OF the axles OF the motor, in the adoption Of
a new and well studied style of double sris-
pension.
" docs not appear doubtful that il will be
possible to reach the high speeds of from
seventy-two to seventy-eight miles, for which
tins locomotive has been constructed. The
equal size CT tue locomotive wheels, and of
liose OF Ine cars, VIII, doubtless, IN a great
measure diminish the resistance of friction,
and permit of gaining in speed. 1t must be
noted that the fore axle of the LOCOMOTIVES.
although coupled with the others, is
provided with hinged grease boxes. On
properly slowing up, then, it does not seem
that it will be impossible to turn curves of
the usual radius. This granted, we can ap-
prcciate what peculiar services will be rend-
cred by rolling stock of this kind in the Ind
mail service and on the great rectilinear lines
OF Russia, Asia and America, and every
where, in fact, where it is desirable 10 cross
with exceeding rapidly great desert spaces
between centers of population.
