METAL WHEELWAYS.
Ono Horse on Them Would Do the Work Of
-Four on Stone.

Ono Horse on Them Would Do the Work of
-Four on Stone.
A correspondent writing to the New York
Tribune on the subject of metal wheelways
says: 1t is fortunate that the subject of metal
wheelways is likely to attract some attention
before the proposed expenditure of millions for
street improvements shall have fastened the
present unsatisfactory methods of paving upon
the city for another generation. The failures
of the last ten years have thrown great doubt
upon the possibility of improvement on the old
lines. The best granite pavement, on concrete
foundation, with cemented joints (Fifth avenue
near Thirty-fourth street). is practically worn
out in five years. The wooden blocks adjacent
SO carefully laid on the London plan, lasted in
fair condition only three years. The best as
phalt, that in Chambers street, is plainly un-
equal to its burden after two years. while the
various experiments in other materials have
generally failed within one year.
1t is useless to consult the experience of other
cities and countries. since we have carefully
tried everything that they have adopted. The
climate or the traffic of this city, or both TO-
gether, require other and better materials and
methods in the construction of its highways.
If steel can be substituted for stone and laid
as a permanent way for ordinary vehicles,
with rails wide enough for all gauges and
roughened by indentations for foothold, while
smooth for wheels, 1t would seem to solve the
whole problem. On such ways one horse would
haul as much as four On a stone pavement, and
the annual saving to the municipality in re-
pairs would be immense; while, outside the
rails. which would be rather below than above
the surface Of the steel. any sort of pave.
ment would suffice. and one that is cheap.
noiseless and cleanly could be chosen The
possibility of such benefits would easily war
rant the tri1ing expenditure asked for by the
1000 wagon owners to bring the matter to a
the adoption Of any patented plan of pavement
or tramway.

WE WOULD NOT LIVE ALwAY.

DR.. Brown-Sequard, the eminent French
physician, is said to have discovered the
elixir of life. The London Daily Telegraph
says that DR.. Brown-Sequard has set forth
his discovery before the French Academy of
Medicine. 1t is probably a summer fable,
such as the Telegraph occasionally gives its
readers. The elixir of life will never be dis
covered by man. No amount of circum-
stantial description of the process used by
DR.. Brown-Sequard is likely to excite any
thing but laughter among sane people.
For a moment, however, let us consider
specifically some of the results of the uni
versal use of the elixir of life-supposing
that mysterious and mighty fluid to have
been discovered. Firstly, is it certain that
everyone wants to live on this planet for
ever? Is it not fact that most of us would
not like to see all our fellow beings contin-
ually survive? These two questions are
easily answered. Life on this earth is not
agreeable enough to make the desire for its
infinite prolongation universal. Life would
be unbearable did not death stand ready to
remove those who trouble us from time to
time. We would like those who love us to
be immortal here, of course. but not those
who hate US. The prospect would be dis
NAL, indeed, if all the evil-disposed per-
sons, the bores and the knaves who hurt or
hinder us in the struggle of life, were not
liable to be thinned out as the car of time
rolled on.
The whole essence of our contention is
that the elixir of life would not be a good
thing for the world at large unless it was
very discreetly distributed. We imagine
that individuals would be dissatisfied with
any arrangement that did not give to each
person the exclusive right to say who
should live forever and who should not
This would be utterly impossible, of course
Therefore the elixir of life is not in whole
some demand. DR.. Brown-Sequard had
better keep his discovery-if he has made
one-to himself.

RAIN AND SHINE.
Some Instances That Illustrate How Pure.
ly Local Storm May Be.

Some Instances That illustrate How Pure.
ly Local n Storm May Be.
From the Franklin REPOSITORY
Few people have any idea how purely local q
storm may be, and how near we may be to q
heavy rain and yet not get any of the water
which falls Many people, end particularly
young folks, think that when we are getting
rain, that the whole immediate neighborhood
is being similarly dosed. The clouds have
hung very low over Chambersbprg and Frank
lin counties the past few weeks. and some
showers have fallen which barely covered a
block or two in extent, being all over in few
minutes. They fell not on the Just and unjust
alike. but ducked the one and spared the
other.
A Letterkenny township farmer had funny
experience with the rain last week He and
his neighbors were all making hay, and some
were hauling in. Our friend had been watch
ing the clouds anxiously all afternoon. At
about o'clock he saw . heavy rain coming
rapidly toward his farm. He and his men pre-
pared to stop work, for the storm was travelling
rapidly and coming straight toward them.
Suddenly they were astonished to see the
shower shoot of to the left, being stopped in
its course either by a change in the air currents
or by piece Of heavy timber land upon his
place. Our Letterkenny friend was very for
tunate. Not drop of rain fell where he and
next farm, on the other side of the woods, got
such ducking that he was not able to work his
hay even on the next day.
On Saturday afternoon at o'clock we no
ticed q queer weather freak on the diamond in
Chambefsburg. The sun mad been shining at
intervals. A big black cloud which hung over
the western end of town began to let out some
rain. The shower reached the diamond but
did not cross it. 1t rained sharply for two or
three minutes at Miller's pharmacy, but across
the square at the Deposit Bank not drop fell
and the sun shone brightly. Close quarters,
wasn't it?

THE COAL STRIKE.

The settlement of the iron scale, which
seems to be assured, is no sooner reached
than the trouble over wages in the steel in
dustry is reinforced by strike in the river
mines for a Scent rate for mining. The
chronic condition of struggle in that indus
try makes the renewal appear rather COM
monplace; and there is a possible view that
the movement is more in the nature of a
shutdown than of strike. No one will be
likely to take the view that cents per
bushel is an excessive rate of payment for
the hazardous and severe labor of mining;but
whether, in competition with coal, that pays
less in wages and requires less transportation,
the rate can be paid, is question that might
be investigated more dispassionately than
by strike. Every one will hope that the
miners will get the best wages possible; but
there is room for doubt whether enforced
ijSeness will improve their circumstances

A PuRLIC NEED

1t is more surprising than amusing to find
an intelligent contemporary in Chicago
answering the objection to the pardon of
that convicted jobber and politician, Mr.
Joseph Mackin, by pointing out the fact
that il he had not been pardoned he would
have been discharged anyhow, under the
rules of the prison and the terms of his
sentence, on the 18th of next month.
This might suggest the fact that it would
not have been any very great hardship in
that case for him to have served out his
sentence. Six weeks more of Imprisonment
would have satisfied what was determined
by judicial proceedings to be the just
penalty for his offenses. A thorough ap-
probation of the necessity Of enforcing
obedience to the law, especially by people
holding public positions, might have per-
ceived the wisdom of letting Mr.. Mackin
stay in prison as long as the law required.
1t could not have hurt him especially, and
it might have been extremely salutary from
a public point of view.
This nation is suffering for the spectacle
of men with money and influence serving
out the full sentences which have been
meted to them for their transgressions of
the law.
