A NEW SCHEME.

The Salt Lake Oil Company are now
ready for business. They have two
new magnificent iron tank oil wagons,
from which Gasoline and Coil Oil will
be sold in quantities from one pint up
wards, and delivered free of charge
Regular routes are being established,
which vii be covered daily. Patrons
are furnished with Large Cards, which
are hung out when Oil is needed. The
convenience of this scheme can hardly
be oyerestimated, and we predict a
huge success for the enterprise. Leave

THE RAILWAY PROBLEM.
The railroad problem in this country,
as 1t now presents Itself, both to mana
gers and stockholders. is just now ex-
ceedingly complicated, says the Boston
HerGtd. From one end of the country
10 the other reports are received of
diminished earnings in consequence of
the reckless rate induced in by
those who have charge of the traffic.
The prohibition in the Interstate COM
merce law OF the method of pooling in
operation before that law went into eff
feet has taken from the managers of
the railroad companies the opportunity
they previously possessed of limiting,
in part at least, competition which, If
not restricted, is little short of ruinous.
It may be said that rail: DAD companies
can compete with each other with
quite as satisfactory results as dealers
In merchandise can enter into competi-
ton; but there is this difference, that,
while the fixed charges incident to
carrying on dry goods establishment
may vary in their percentages on the
basis o. the sales made, they form in
most cases but an uncomfortable part
OF cha gross outgo of m 5rchaut. The
limit that determines the price of mer-
chandlse TO the sel!ar is not the fixed
charges OF his business, but the cost to
him of the material he is dealing il.
With railroad company the item of
fixed charges is the great element of
expense, that is, including in this class
ihcHtion the wages and salaries paid,
the purchase of necessary supplies and
the payment of interest upon debt. A
part OF these ou5goes may seem large
or small 10 proportion to the business
done. Thai is, assuming that rail
road company carries a million tons of
freight, If at the same rate it could
carry 100000 tons, its profits would
be largely increased for the reason
that its Ouigoes would not probably
enlarge IN anywhere near correspond
ing degree. Ev0n if it obtained this
additional million tons by a consider +,
able cut in rates, there might be more
net profit than would came from carry
ing the million tons at the old rate.
For this reason managers are continu-
ally striving to enlarge th1ir business
by the holding out of exceptional
inducements; but the present trouble is
that all Of them have entered into this
method, and the offers of inducements
have become so liberal that there is no
profit for any Of them TO gain as the
result Of the business they obtain.
WI at the companies or their managers
must do is to devise some means OF
checking The competition other than
the pooling system; but apparently no
method has yet been suggt sted upon
which any considerable number of
them can ahree

Society's Salutes and Gestures.

Some of the attitudes of certain young
men and women strongly resemble those we
see in extreme exhaustion, hysterla and st
Vitus' dance. Thus we may mention as ex-
amples: Heads inclined to one side, sym
metrical posture of the spine, hands Ill bal
anced and contracted in the palm, with the
fingers bent backward. Ladies ID the draw
ing room will sometimes assume postureS the
very counterpart of those seen IN chorea,
while languishing mode is thought to lndl-
cate esthetic refinement. What shall we say
about the habit of dressing the hair SO as to
cover the forehead, the bulwark Of the brain,
and making all expression In the hands,
which should be exponentS of the mental
state by perpetually carrying an opera hat,
fan or howersl We might further dwell on
a cultivated monotonous drawl of voice, with
falsetto pitch, with absence of expression,
power and energy in all the movements, the
eyes being half open and not directed toward
the person addressed.
A certain school Of modern art seems to
lend much favor to this sort of thing. 1t has
been said that a man should dress With care
and attention, for the first impression made
on meeting stranger Is to some degree pro-
duced by dress; to much greater extent
does the carriage and the mode OF salute
make an impression-the method should be
manly. The salute should indicate the i'm
preston produced by the meeting; OF course
it should be under control-never too cold or
too efTusive-but that does not justify
purely artificial method meaning nothing
Shaking hands is often used as a pledge OF
contract, but then it must express the mental
state. The unwholesome mode of gesture
we have referred to is much on par with
talking slang and the fictitious representa-
dons of life given in some novels--Britlsh

A New Application for Electricity.

Pathologically considered, the electric cur
rent has been and is doing a vast amount of
good, and physicians of the highest repute
do not to-day consider themselves fully pro-
vided with the quota of their requisites until
they have a standard set of instruments.
Electricity Is by them applied to nervous dis
orders, and by surgeons in cautery to great
advantage.
But why not go a step farther? It is fact
that, properly applied, the electric current
effectually destroys all disease germs in I'M
pure water. Then why not destroy similar
germs and organisms in cellular pathology
Why not apply this attribute to the extinc-
ton of all cancerous growths and skin or
tissue diseases! There is room in the sugges-
tion for much interesting experiment. We
do not mean electro-cautery, but the applica-
tion of what we may term electrolysis to
organic life, and its resolution into its harm
less elements. Review.

The Power of Steam.

The following interesting figures are taken
from report of the bureau of statistics in
Berlin: Four-ifths of the engines now work
ing in the world have been constructed dur
ing the last twenty-five years. The force
equivalent to the working steam engines rep
resents in the United States 800 900 horse
power; in England, 1000, 900 horse power; in
Germany, 4,5oO,Ooo; in France, 100000;
in Austria, l, 100000. In these the motive
power Of the locomotive is not included, whose
number in all the world amounts to los, 900,
and represents a total of 100000 horse
power. Adding this amount TO the other
figures, we obtain the total of $4,000, 900
horse power A steam horse power is equal
to three actual horses power; living horse
is equal to seven men, The steam engines
today represent in the world approximately
the work Of 1000, ,0oO,O 600 men, or more

How Paper Car Wheels Are Made.

Richard n. Allen, the inventor OF the
paper car Wheel is in town just now. He is
here to meet George Pullman. When Allen
made his first set of paper car wheels in 1869
he was laughed at, and it was with difficulty
that he got the use of wood car for six
months to test bis invention. The Pullman
Palace Car company gave him his first order
for 100 wheels in 1871, and few years later
the Allen Paper Car Wheel company made
1900 such wheels in one year. One of the
first sets of wheels experimental with under
sleeper is now on exhibition in Hudson, N.
Y. 1t has a record of 300, 900 miles travel
Only the uody of the wheel is of paper.
The material is calendered rye straw
"board," or thick paper, made at Morris,
Ills. This is sent to the works in circular
sheets of % to 40 inches in diameter Two
men standing by piles of these rapidly brush
over each sheet an even coat of flour paste,
until there are dozen of them, which make
a layer. The layers are subjected to hy-
draulic press, with pressure of 500 tons.
After various other manipulations several of
these twelve sheet layers are pasted together,
until there are formed circular blocks con-
tanning 120 to 160 sheets each, compressed to
5 1-2 or 4 1-2 inches thickness, just the size to
fit the inner circle Of the tire Chicago

The Longevity Of Birds.

The human race is not the only one that has
the privilege of furnishing centenarians.
There are several birds that have the preten-

the prize Of longevity, says The Eleveur,
must be cited the eagle, the swan and the
raven, which live for over century. The
