MAUD s.
The Mare to be Trained, but Not Sent to
Beat her Record.

From the New York Sun.
Maud s., who has had a rest from the track
thus far this season, will soon have another
chance to show her speed. Mr.. Robert Bonner
intends to secure a trainer in a few days who
will give the famous mare some fast work on
her owners track at Tarrytown. Mr.. Bonner
himself has frequently driven Maud 8. to q
light wagon during the summer, and only yes
terday morning drove her at what he calls a
jogging pace through Central park aud 7th
avenue.
MAUD 8. has not been speeded the present
season." said Mr.. Bonner last evening, ''be-
cause Of the illness of her trainer, John MUIR
ply. So long as Murphy lay upon his death
bed did not wish, by securing another trainer
in his place, to wound his sensitive nature. I
had known Murphy twenty years and for the
last ten lac had driven my best horses. had
the most implicit confidence in him and SO had
Mr.. William Fl. Vanderbilt, by whom Murphy
was at one time employed"
Mr.. Bonner said that Maud s. would not be
put into training to break her record. He con-
siders her record of 2.0S$% good enough for the
present. Guy, who has made the mile in 2. 10M
seconds, he thinks should strive first to eclipse

speed. But it does not do to drive horse at
her best after long rest any more than it
would do TO overwork an athlete under the
same conditions"
Mr.. Bonner has not yet determined who viii

will decide that soon,

DIR. vARIoT's EXPERIMENTS.
But. without asking my advice, Dr. yariot. a
physician who believed that the simultaneous
injections Of considerably diluted spermatic
fluid could do no harm, has made a trial of that
method on three old men-one ffty-four an
other nfty-six and the third sixty-eight wears.
On each Of them the effects have been found to

bits and guinea pigs.
These facts clearly show that il was not to a
peculiar idiosyncrasy of mind that the effects

explanation Of those effects by an auto-sug-
gestion, II Is hardly possible to accept il in the
case OF the patients treated by Dr. yariot.

the work calls for, but about five times
the latter sum, for 1t is safe to say that
vessel superior to the City of New
York or the Etruria could not be built
for less than So, SOC, 900.
Sometimes the ship-builders are will
ing to become part owners OF the pro-
lected vessel, sometimes they take as
part payment for the work some
older vessels of the line, which
they reit, re-engine, modernize and
sell again. The ability of the
builders to make an arrangement of this
kind, Of course, influences the placing
of the contract in a measure, but they
must also be able to give certain guaran
tees. They must enter into an engage
ment that the projected ship shall be
able to carry so many passengers and so
many tons of cargo, and to attain spec
flied speed on given consumption of
coal per day. Let us say. for instance,
that the stipulations are these: Accom-
modations for 600 saloon passengers, $50
intermediate passengers and 800 steer
age passengers; registered tonnage 5000;
speed 10 knots OH consumption of 300
tons per day. If the ship fails to fulfill
those conditions the builders agree to
forfeit part of the amount they would
otherwise receive for her, or they may
be compelled to take her back altogether.
This was the case with the City OF Rome.

MATTERS OF INDUSTRY.

ELECTRICITY is now univ ersally used as
an explosive agent.
PLANE or sycamore wood is commended
for lightness, close grain and susceptibility
of high finish.
BARNARD plumes are being utilized in
the manufacture Of artificial birds with
which to supply the demands of fashion
DoGwooD is of close texture, and takes q
fine polish. 1t is often substituted for box
wood in the manufacture of tool-handles,
mallets, etc.
BRICKS, composed Of cork, sand and lime,
have been made by the Germans, which
have proven non-conductors of sound and
heat.
The first electric railway in operation on
the Pacific slope has been constructed in
Los Angeles, Cal 1t is street car line
three miles in length
ONE Of the best OF woods for fuel, ash or
to be used in the smoking of meats, Is Ore
gon ash. 1t is also easily worked, and is
tough, light and elastic.
A RAILWAY car is being built of steel by
Boston experimenters 1t Will be heated
by hot-air pipes. A compressible platfor m
will render telescoping impo ssible.
OXIDE of iron is found to be Cd adhesive
and durable cement for uniting iron
surfaces. With it a joint can be made that
will resist an equal pressure with the iron
itself
THE project of using electricity for loco
motive headlights has met with poor re-
ception at the hands Of the engineers, ow-
ing to its demoralizing effect upon their
tme-piecos.
A DEPOSIT of iron, so pure that it can be
used without smelling, has been discoy-
cred in Arkansas. The deposit is of vast
extent, the outcrop being two miles in
length, thirty feet in width and very deep.
ELECTRICITY is to be used by a French
inventor in the bleaching of paper pulp
He Will use solution of chloride of mag.
neisum through which the current passes,
removing divers oxychloride5 and thus
bleaching the dber.
THE quota of 10000 seals annually al
lowed by the Government to be taken FROM
St George and St Paul could be easily in
creased to twice as many without danger
of determination. Statistics carefully CON-
piled by the agents show that the seals are
increasing every year, and, should nothing
untoward happen to drive the seals away
from these islands, there is no reason TO
fear that this II Oh industry of the United
States will decrease in value.
A REMARKABLE piece of mechanism is
shown in the production Of a miniature
steamship. 1t is a model of the ''City Of
Worcester, . Norwich line boat, running
from New York to Providence. The mode!
is fortytwo inches long and ten inches
wide and in this small space are shown the
complete parts and workings of the large
boat. The finishings are OF gold and silver,
and electricity is employed in lighting up
this mna'ure palace. The operating ma
chinery gives forth strains from the lat

THE nU1Lp1NG OF RAILWAYS.

That there is great activity in railroad
building throughout the United States
at the present time will .be deemed sur
prising by many in view of the numer-
Gus reverses which enterprises of this
sort have met with of late. The outcry
against the interstate commerce law,
against the paralleling of lines, and
against the ruinous cutting OF rates
naturally has had its effect on purchas-
ELS of securities whose money goes to
carry out new projects. Yet the Rail
way Age of Chicago, by tabulated
statement of the new lines which have
been brought to public notice during the
last three months, shows that these in
clude 666 roads of SO, 436 miles. OF this
enormous amount already 14.SlS miles
are under construction or have been
contracted for. This showing indicates
that the year 1889 is likely to be one of
the greatest years for railroad building
in the history of the country.
It's especially gratifying to note that
the new railroads are mainly building
in parts of the country where they are
really needed. There is little paralleling
under way. More new roads are being
constructed in the southern states than
in any other section. Great activity is
also shown in Dakota and in the Indian
territory. This is a certain indication
that the enormous growth of railroad
mileage is healthy one, and that 1t is
demanded by gigantic strides in the ma
terial development of the country.
Great as has been the increase in rail-
road mileage in Kansas the past few
years, bringing it up to the second place
among the states in its total miles of
road, the present year will witness large
additions of new lines as well as the ex-
tension of number of those already IN
onnration
