What surprises there are in mod
ern chemistry. 1t is now claimed
that that harmless looking substance
soda, can be so manipulated that it
may be converted into a powerful
motor. A car is run from State
street, Chicago, he motive power OF
which is soda. 1t does not require
and fire, is noiseless, emits no oHen-
sive smells, has no exhaust stack nor
steam whistle to frighten horses. and
makes fully as good time as the old
fashioned steam dummy. 1t takes
only thirteen minutes to charge it,
and it will run continuously for six
hours after il is loaded. The Bos-
ton and Albany railroad company
is also building a forty-ton soda
fountain to haul its trains from Bos-
ton, a similar machine is in use on a
road in England. and a company in
Minneapolis is about to close a con-
tract that will supply all its cars
with two-horse power soda ioun-

Greeks and Turks Fighting

LONDON, Nav 23.-Advices receiv-
ed here say that severe engagements
are taking place on the Greek from
tier between Turkish and Greek
troops. The lighting is intermittent
and extends along the frontier for a
distance OF fifteen miles. The heav-
lest fighting is NJ Turnaro. Many
have been wounded on both sides.
Prime Minister Tricouris na- TEL
egraphed to the general in com-
mand of the Greek forces instructing
him to endeavor 10 arrange an ar
mistice. The later has evidently
been unable to comply with his
instructions, owing probably, to
the difficulty of securing an inter
view with Eyoub Pacha, the Tur-
kish commander. The Greek Cabi-
net is in session at Athens and
great excitement prevails in the
capital.
A dispatch from Athens, Greece
says a truce was effected at moor
to-day and there has been no fight.

Cleopatra Meeting with Adonis.

Mr.. H. 6. Fuller describes in the
New York Tribune the arrival at
the Central Park Menagerie Of a
young tigress captured last winter
in India. The animal was sent from
Calcutta with = view to providing a
companion for Adonis, the tiger OF
the Cntral Park collection, who had
been pining for a mate, Describing
the meeting Of the two animals, Mr..
Fuller says
"Adonis, the Bridegroom, is a na-
tive American Bengal tiger. He
was born and raised in captivity,
and has attained a size not usually
obtained in the forests. Within the
space of two years he has been twice
welded and widowed. His first
companion was captive-born, ike
himself. She died after giving birth
to a litter of whelps. The second
pinned in confinement, and died a
few weeks after her arrival. Cleo
patra is the finest specimen of the
three. and the youngest when the
case containing her had been placed
in the Carnivora building, Adonis,
who had been pacing with a mourn
full step to and fro in his cage, eyed
it expectantly, and began to lick his
coat. The animals in adjoining Ca
ges looked on with curiosity, the ny
