A NEW STREET.CAR MOTOR.
Mr.. Hodgson's Invention That Proposes to
Displace ALI Other Systems of Power.

Isaac and Z. j. HOdgson, formerly of this
city, now of st. Paul, Mimi, have recently
invented a street-car which, it is predicted,
will revolutionize street-railway service in
this country. The Importance of the in
vention lies in the propelling force, which
is an immense spring, twelve feet in
diameter and some five or six inches in
width. The spring is placed in what
may be termed the grip-car, standing in a
vertical position and revolving longitudin-
ally through the center of the car, and is
intended to propel in addition to the grip
car, one or more passenger ears. The num-
Der depending upon the grades TO be tray-
eled. The inventors at first found some
difficulty in the government OF the springs,
but they have overcome this obstacle by the
introduction of governor which complete
ly controls them. The great wheel and spring
can be thrown out of gear instantaneOusly.
The main advantage of the system is that
il can be used upon an ordinary street
railway. The winding stations are below
the track at intervals of two miles or less,
the distance depending upon the grades.
III is claimed by the inventors that from
the simplicity of construction and the very
small expense attending its use, the
system will soon come into universal use.
Isaac Hodgson was the architect of the
Marion County Court-house. and z. J..

doing. Our best concerns here are those
that have been built up from small begin
nings. They are in the hands of practical
men, who have learned how to make them
successful, and can berelied upon to do itas
long as there is any opportunity for success,
and they are worth good deal more to us
than any amount of subsidized inexper-
ience.n
lis there any reason to apprehend trou-
bic growing out of the limited receipts from
taxatiOn?v
''fOne, other than we shall always be
cramped in the way of public improve
ments as long as the present low rate of tax
alton continues. The limit of city taxa
ton ought, / think, to be increased from
so cents to 81. That would increase the
municipal receipts by $4,000. fair wheel
tax would give us $50, OOOmore, and it would
distribute the burden of street improve
ments fairly 10y making those
who do most to wear them
out pay the most. A moderate
increase in liquor licenses would weed out
some .dOggeries' and give us $4,000 year
additional, making a gross increase in our
revenues of 100000. With this addition
we could do something substantial every
year In the matter of street paving, parks
and other improvements, and the growth of
the city in good looks and comfortable APP
purtenances would keep pace with its bust
ness progress"

suburbs are stillselling readily. TheredOes
not seem to be a tendency to advance prices.

Consumption Of Opium In China.
,r.;vo1arxbio Talaex-oDh

A Chinese customs yellow-book, Just
printed, contains some valuable and inter
esting information on the growth and con-
sumption in China. The growth of the ma
tive opium has assumed large proportions
during recent years. Every province pro-
duces it, the only large areas where it is not
grown being the islands of. Formosa and
Hainan. The opium is chiefly consumed
locally, only a comparatively small per-
centage going out of the district OF province
where it is grown. The quality of the ma
tive article has much improved, and this
fact, combined with the increased growth
has led to a great reduction in the import
of foreign opium, as the falling off in the
Indian revenue testifies. Even at the
treaty ports. native opium is used very
largely. 1t is preferred in many cases,
because it can be smoked seven or eight
times, while the foreign drug can be smoked
three times at most. The native is often
mixed with the foreign, but smokers object
TO this being done, because 1t spoils the
ashes, which command q price. Economy
comes into the question of preference, for
only the wealthiest consume the foreign
article A great deal of smuggling goes on
In order to evade the tax. In the far west,
where cash and, silver are scarce, opium
takes the place of money in many localities
as the basis of barter. When starting on a
journey a native carries his estimated ex-
penses in the form of opium selling here
and there Just as much as he requires. Even
students going TO Pekin carry their funds
in the form of opium. rr

"She" as an Allegory of the Church.

Boston Globe.
".She,' an Allegory of the Church." was
what Professor George, CLANCY lectnred
upon before small gathering in the Haw-
thorne rooms, on Park street, last evening.
He said: 81 do not believe that a book can
be written and so widely read without con-
tanning something spiritual. 1t is full of
superstition, and yet it has caught and held
the attention of people whose boast is to
be beyond the reach of superstition. 1t is
a marvellous, weird. story, told with a
strange charm that is quite in
describable. The ruined city of
Kor represents the world, and
She the church, the guardian of the truth.
AS came the redemption of She, SO will
come the redemption of the church through
science and intuition. Leo represents the
latter and Holly the former"
So on, through the whole book, the lecturer
went making each character represent
some factor in the history of the church.
Then the father of Leo is conscience. the
friend of science. Job is practical, daily
life, and the black bOatmen slain by Holly
is infidelity. 'Despise not the infidel, but
honor him for the use he is to the cause of
truth, and for the stern daring which pre-
fers no god to a god with the instincts of a
savage" [Applause.l
