High Rates of Speed.
Railway Age.

One Of our correspondents not long
ago id a speed of 100 miles an hour
by steam locomotives was entirely
practicable, and thought it would be
attained. In q recent lecture before a
scientific club. Professor EIihu TEom-
son declared that much higher speeds
than can now be obtained with steam
loco motives are 10 be expected by
means of electricity, and he considered
from 100 to even $50 miles all hour pos
sible. While in the steam locomotive
there are reciprocating parts that must
be put in motion, stopped, and reversed
continually, in the electric locomotive
we have simply rotary motion, which
makes it possible TO run with economy
at much higher rates ofspeed. He be-
lieved that if we could come back af-
ter another hundred years, we would
find $50 miles all hour Ia be the speed
of travelling, adding, at simply de-
ponds upon finding the necessary me-
thod of applying sufficient power, and
building the locomotives TO suit, ar
engagements being adopted to keep the
cars OIL the track" One hundred and
fifty miles an hour may be among the
possibilities, but probably most people
nowadays would rather leave to COM
ing generations the enjoyment of
whirling through space at that fright
full velocity. To leave Chicago at night
and be in New York next morning
would be wonderful achievement,
involving great increase of business
facilities, but the safety of such a speed
under present conditions may well be
questioned.

A Boiling Lake in Nevada.
Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise.

Recently an item has been going the
rounds in regard to boiling lake near
Lassen's Peak, California. 1t is not
generally known, but we have in Ne
vada similar boiling lake. ItIs situ-
ated at the eastern base Of the first
large mountain range east of the Sink
of the Carson. 1t lies on the edge of
an immense desert-a desert so large
and scorching that in summer the In
dams never attempt to cross it except
at night, and even then they always
60 provided with large supply Of
water. On three sides OF the lake are
rocks two or three hundred feet high,
which are perfectly bare and are burn
ed 10 a deep brick red. The area of
the lake is about two acres. Though
steam is constantly rising from The
water, the whole surface of the lake
does not boil. The agitaiion-boiling
is confined to the great springs
which burst up at several points.
These springs force columns of water
from foot to two or three feet in diam
etcr to a height of over twenty inches
above the general surface of the lake,
causing loud ripping sound and con-
siderable local commotion. The water
of the whole lake, is doubtless boiling
hot, though not seen to boil, for
brook flowing from it down into the
sands of the desert sends up a cloud
of steam for distance of several hum
dred yards. About a mile from the
lake is a great deposit of sulphur,
running through which are streaks of
pure alum, from two to six inches
wide.

Salt Everx Day.

Dairy cattle should have access 10
salt every day, and salt should be add.
cd to their stable food. A series OF
experiments has convinced me that
when cows are denied salt for II perl
cd of even one week they will yield
from AZ TO Tx per cent less milk,
and that Of an inferior quality. Such
milk will Oh an average turn sour In
"a hours less time than milk drawn
from the same or similar cows rcceiv-
ing salt, all other conditions OF treat
ment being equal. Comfortable quar-
tiers are indispensable to the health and
well. being of cows. Stables during
the winter should have temperature
constantly within the range OF 10 TO
IS degrees Fab. In summer time
shade should he provided in the pas
ture fields or adjacent thereto to pro-
tect against the bristle-making influ-
ence of July and August suns. In all
the management OF cows such condi'
tons should be provided and such care

say che" because l think the men of
the farm should do all the milking, at
least during the winter months. ]
have exercised the right of changing
my mind on that subject since j left
the farm. 1t is no more difficult to
milk with dry hands than with them
wet. 1t is certainly more clearly, and
leaves the milk in much more desir-
able condition for table use or manu-
facture. Pure stable atmosphere is in
dispensable to prevent contamination
from that source. Immediate strain
ing will remove Impurities which
otherwise might be dissolved, to per-
manent injury of the whole product.

TO HONOR COLUMBUS.
Secretary Tracy In Favor OF the Naval
Review and the Celebration Here.

The New York H,Tud today publishes an in
terview with Secretary Tracy, in which be isre-
ported as saying: 1.-The plan for the grand re-
view of the navies Of the world in New York
harbor in 1892 is to my mind most happy and
appropriate one. l hope the amendment
offered by Senator Daniel OF Virginia,
which provides for this feature OF the
celebration. will be adopted To begin with, il
opens the celebration of the event il Ia intended
to commemorate, the discovery OF this hemis-
phere, in lsS2-the year when il took plsce-in-
stead OF waiting until the year after. Chicago
has the exposition. and every one wants 10 see
II success In the broadcast sense OF the term.
And nothing can contribute more 10 this end
Than prefaciug the opening OF the exposition
with exercises at the national capital and at the
great commercial and financial metropolis of
the country, which will show 10 the world that
the commemoration ID national in its char
acier and commands the support of our whole
people"
When asked if the United States would NOT be
prominent by reason of inferiority in the naval
display, the Secretary said ION the contrary,
We Will have more men-of-war in the review IL
II takes place than any other nation repre-
sented. And when say this, mean more mod
erh steel vessels, for would not allow any Of
our Old wooden ships 10 take part in the re-
View. by October, 1892, we VIII have from
eighteen TO twenty modern steel vessels, such
as the Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Yorktown,
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark. Concord
Bennington, Dolphin, Petrol, Maine and Texas.
The last two will be heavily armored and
armed, the former with ten-inch guns and the
latter with twelye-inch guns. They compare
IaVorably with any modern men-of-
war. There are also cruisers Nos and g. not
yet named, in course OF construction, and three
gun boats, two in Baltimore and one IN Boston.
which will probably be completed by that
time. Added TO this would be the Cushing and
other torpedo boats. 30 there need be no fear
that we will not be creditabiy represented.
