Foreign Secretary.
LONDON, July 2s.-In the house of lords
tonight Baron Strahader raised question
as to whether the office of premier ought to
become united with that of foreign secre-
tary. Lord Salisbury replied that Glad
stone had asserted that it was impossible
for one man to discharge the duties of both
offices unless possessed Of superhuman en-
ergy. This might be true when the premier
was leader in the commons, but when the
premier was in the lords the case was
much different.

How the Air Brake Works.
IChicago Journal

Said railroad man to me to day I'm
bet not one in hundred of the people who
travel on railroad trains understand how
the pressure of air is used to apply the
brakes to train. When the air brake was
first invented the air was turned into the
cylinder under each car when the car was
to be stopped, and the pressure was exert
ed to force the brakes up against the
wheels. But at the present day the brakes
are held against the wheels by springs, and
the air is turned into the cylinders to push
the brakes away from the wheels as
long as the train is in motion. When
it is desired to stop the train the air is let
out, and then th,' springs apply the brakes
and stop the train. This last method Of
using air PRESSURE has great advantages
over the old way on the score of safety.
whenever an accident happens to
train one of the first effects it Is apt to
have Is to rupture the air pipes leading
from the engine to the cylinders under the
cars; and that of itself stops the train in
stantly. 1t is very important for every
one to understand this matter, because a
child years old can stop train IN 80 sec
onds from any car in the train if he SIM
ply understands how. You will see, if you
look for it, that there is a sort of rope
projecting from the toilet room of every
car. That connects with the air pipes un-
der the train. If you catch hold of it and
give it little jerk it will stop the train
before 1t has gone 100 yards"

tended to return to Indianapolis and re-
sumo the practice of law at the expiration
of his present term. This little statement
spikes good many democratic guns and

that party to invent some new motive for
every thing which the President does.

certain remarks derogatory to the Nc
hinley tariff bill made by Secretary Blaine
before a subcommittee of the Senate.
Fortunately your correspondent is able to
present statement of what really occur

before the committee for the purpose of
making an argument on some matters per
tanning to the State department, and while
there he and Senator Allison, began to
good naturcdly chat each other about the
tariff bill. Senator Blackburn, who is the
democratic member of the subcommittee,
told Mr.. Blaine that he regretted that he
was not Senator so that he might make
a speech on the floor of tho Senate attack
ing the bill and Mr. Blaine. with wink,
