To the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul R'y Co. belongs the credit OF being
the first in the country to undertake sys-
tematic experimenting In the direction OF
steam-heating Of railway trains. The
peI.eotion Of the system they have eiab-
GRATED is we'll known TO the travelling pub
lie, its eleme nts of safety, automatic
regulation OF temperature and perfect
ventilation, leaving nothing to be desired.
The energies of the company have now
been directed towards progress in light
ing. and to-day attention is called to
what are unquestionably the most per-
fectly appointed trains in this respect in
the world. They have by costly expert
ment and careful study reduced the mat
ter of electric lighting of trains TO scien-
tihc perfection, and the introduction OF
several unique features has made possible
the attainment of degree of comfort
unbesrd of heretofore.
The apparatus for heating and lighting
is of perfect and elaborate character, be-
ing. in fact, complete central station
plant in miniature on each train and un-
der the constant supervis on of special
attendant, whose duty it is to see that at
all times the amount Of heat and light
supplied is regulated according to the
requirements. No accident to the en-
CINE or dynamo machine can cause an
interruption to the light, as reserve
plant of batteries is carried for such an
emergency.
Leading from the dynamo room and
regulators the main wires pass out and
over the roofs of the cars 10 flexible con-
nections between them, thence TO switch
boards and safety devices in each car, and
finally through branch wires to the lamps.
These have been lavishly introduced in
both cars and vestibules, producing a
brilliant illumination without the attend
ant annoyance of heat, odor. or other
disagreeable features inseparable from
the use of oil.
One of the novel features introduced
in the sleeping cars is a patent electric
reading lamp in each section. With this
luxurious provision reading at night,
before or after retiring, becomes as COM
Portable "a by day, and when retiring the
toilet may be made in comfort and seclu-
sion.
1t is fact we'll known to travellers
chat, although a car may appear brill
iantly illuminated upon entering, few
moments reading will severely try the
eye-sight, and show that it is in reality
far from perfectly lighted. The Berth
Reading Lamp introduces the exact con-
ditions of the study lamp at home. cast
ing an agreeable and brilliant light di-
rectly upon the work.
In construction it consists OF an ele-
gantly designed metal case containing an
! electric lamp SO hidden that the light il
thrown only in the direction wished, and
its use does not interfere with the com
| fort of others. When no longer needed
shutter may be drawn and che light OBJ.
scured. This elture, found alone upor
the vestibule trains of the Chicago. Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway, needs only
trial to be appreciated.
Let your light so skEne before mer
that they may see your good works.

Christmas Thoughts.

Christmas rs upon us. It Is the Testi-
val OF the home and the season when the
hearts of the fathers are turned to the
CHILDREN and the feet of the children
turn back to the homes whe0oethey went
out. Little ones hail it's coming with
exub.erant gladness, and older people en-
ter into its Festivities with sTbdued plea

and hopes of the home ahead ale strange
ly oninglei with present Joys. What a
time it is for cultivating domestic aztec
tions and invigorating the virtues which
root themselves in these s0wes! Whence
came or Christian homes? Uhey are
not found in pagan linds - dwelling
plaoes are there, but nof homes. Nor
are they found in lands where ,Ohristian
influences are feeble and Christian insti-
tutGOns ans formal-thers are lodgings

comes from him who, though lac meless

families -ffcom him of whom the whole
family iin heaven and earth are named.
Accordingly. at this SEASON ,oSr doors
should be wide open 10 his coming in,

He and Sackett then assisted me up the

listening to it's movements for a while,
we determined to kindle fire and secure

little steamer aga n, and finally boarded
her, gun in hand, in search of the snake.
"A portion of its notified body was

deck, just in front of the engine boiler.

That SO broad an eusent of country,

MIR. Wilhelm b. Marin, n young gentle
man who spent several months last sea-

Pilcomayo:
Mr.. Marin is an enthusiastic believer
Ia the future OF the Chaco, which, he
confidently predicts, is destined not long
hence to become the Garden State of
South America. His exploration was eff
feeted by means OF a small steam launch
which he shipped to South America in
sections, and set up at Asuncion, on the
Paraguay River, near its confluence With
the Pilcomayo. Both the Pilcomayo
and the Nermejo are large rivers, not
less than eight hundred or thousand
miles in length, which flow down out of
the Chaco and unite with the Paraguay
and the Parana to form the Rio de la
Plata.

little steamer. in honor of the great
