matte railways to do the work which after
ward fell to the elevated railroads. The
experiment of the Beachs was interesting
and costly, but practically nothing more.
Cars were seen from one end of the tube to
the other filled with. passengers. It was
proven beyond doubt that the pneumatic
principle was broad enough to cover pas
senger transit: But the whole plan was
crude and the results unsatisfactory.
Many years of experiment were needed to
bring the system up to the level of practical
usefulness. The Broadway hole" as it
was called by some of the newspapers, was
visited by thousands of people, who in
dulged in the novelty of short pneumatic
excursion. but the scheme was finally aban-
doned, and now nothing but the "hole" is
lett. Recent accounts of experiments in
Europe however, give strong hone that the
dream of the Messrs Beach will soon be
realized. 1t is claimed, as results Of some
OF these experiments, that passenger cars
may safely be run, by pneumatic appliance,
at speed of 200 or 800 miles an hour. Of
course there would be hardly possibility of
collision or derailment in pneumatic tube,
but it remains to be seen how the average
traveller would like the idea of being shot to
his destination after the manner of bullet
through rifle barrel.
Another of the marvellous possibilities
that may be realized before the century
closes is the solving of a problem to which
the great Swedish-American inventor, John
Ericsson, devoted many of his later years.
That is. the practicability OF using solar
heat as a power for manufacturing and other
purposes. Ericsson firmly believed in this
possibility, and so do his successors in the
experiments. j. H. WEBB.

wicked mare, with glaring eyes, who sped
faster and faster as her blood grew hotter,
soon took the lead and kept 1t until the race
was done, and the shouts of the multitude
proclaimed her the victor.
Queen Millice mad watched this race with
much interest, for she liked to see the fine
action of a spirited horse, and she was very
sorry that Lista's ugly beast had won the
race. She would have been much better
pleased if her cousins beautiful charger had
been the winner, not because he belonged to
Chamian, but because he was such q noble
animal.
The Princess was very proud of her vic
tory, and her heart beat nigh at the congrat-
uIations which poured in on her from every
side.
Il have colt at home" she cried to Cha
mlaD, "who. is more fiery and wicked than
this mare, with better withers, pasterns,
hooks and cannon bones, and am going to
,rain MIN so that can outdo even what 1
have done to-day" and she laughed tri-
umphantly.
King Chamian did not very much like TO
be beaten, but if he were beaten he was glad
that it was Lista and no one else who had
come in ahead of him. She was fine,
spirited hcrsewoman, and he liked that sort
of a girl, but he could not help wishing that
v,
and did not speak so familiarly to her
graoms.
There now trotted into the arena hand
some Centaur, both his man part and his
horse part denoting high breeding. He ap-
proached the royal boxes, and bowed to the
occupants. Queen Millice was pleased with
the courteous air and the graceful move
ments OF the Centaur, and was curious to
know what he was going to do. She beck
oned him toward her.
Have you no competitors?" she asked.
None, Your Majesty. replied the Cen
taur, with IA bow and a smile, excepting old
Father Time"
81 do not understand" said Millice
at is my intention, Your Majesty" ex-
planned the Centaur, "to trot alone around
this arena, and TO endeavor to beat any
previous record of fast time, and not only
this, but to make such record for myself, l
believe cannot easily be beaten in the fut-
ure."
The Queen was very much interested in
the effort the Centaur was about to make in
this race against his ancestors and his pos
terity-she liked high ambition.
What is the quickest time a mile has yet
been trotted imp" she asked
Two minutes and eight seconds" +" replied
the CeItaur, "and by Your Majesty's per-
mission, will now endeavor to beat that. q"
And with a bow, which he repeated. as he
passed the other royal box. the Centaur
began to trot around the ring, SO as to warm
himself or his work.
He did not go very fast at first, but when
he reached the starting post he set of at a

come together as quickly as the more lively
Chamian and Lista. But if the Prince had
any sense or wit at all he could not fail to
make an impression upon Millice before the
show was over.
The games were jus; about to begin when
Gr0mline met Alto.
What is the matter with your Hichness?"
the minister exclaimed; "are you not feel
ing welI?'
''Not very, - replied Alto, and in the hope
that G-romline might be able TO helm him he
told him Il the proposition of the griffin

lutclv re use his ofIer, for if be is made
angry there is no knowing what he NAV do.
Can you think of anv way in which I can
get out Of the scrape?"
Get out of it!'' cried GromIine. Don't
dream OF such a thing. Here is a chance of
performing an astounding and unheard of
.ea, withnut the least danger in the world.

with the conviction that, although a prince
Of intellect does not in general care for use
less sports, still, when he pleases, he can
with ease per 'orm a feat far above anything
which the athletes have even thought o.
Poor Alto sighed. 1t appeared that he
was in for it.
The games began with hurdle foot race,
open 10 all competitors. Among those who
ran were stout-legged young men from Tano-
bar and Nustyria, three youthful giants
from the mountains, who were, however, too
heavy to jump, and broke down several
hurdles; lot OF nmble brownies, and many
other two-legged Kobol-landerS. A genie,
with blazing ewes, soon took the lead, often
going over two hurdles at once, although
they were considerable distance apart, but
he was ruled out Of the race because hissoar-
ing flights were neither running nor Jump
Ing. Near the head of the long line was The
sorcerer's Kangaroo, who at one time made
beautiful bound entirely over a Nustyriau
athlete, who at that moment was clearing a
hurdle, but he was also ruled out of the race
because he did nothing but Jump, aud did
not run at all.
There were others who did not understand
the rules, and among these were several
gnomes of the mines, with long boards and
spindle legs, who ran with great sviftpess
and went under tie hurdles without SO
much as bobbing their heads, never imagiu-
ing that they were expected TO lump over
those lofty bars. An Afrite won this race
his long, black, shining body bounding and
darting ahead like an India rubber savage
dipped IN oil.
Next came grand horse race, 10 which

The fAIRY CANARY.
TRANSLATED FOR THE DISPATCH.


1t was autumn, and the flowers which all
summer had added so much to the beauty OF
the forest, now dropped and died. The
leaves OF the trees, after changing from a
bright green to red and yellow, were falling,
leaving the branches brown and bare. Many
of the birds had sought their winter homes,
and others were preparing to seek warmer
lands. the swallows, who had built their
nests in the caves of large house in the
city, we're among the last to take their de-
parture.
One evening, just at dusk, one of these
little birds flew on the window sill, above
which hung its nest. Here stood gilded
cage, in which sat, sad and quiet, a yell
low canary bird. The owner OF the
house was sea captain, and had
brought the bird from its sunny home
as a gift for his children. But the little
creature was not happy in its beautiful cage;
for it was lonely without its companions,
! and i; missed its free flights through the air.
During the long summer the swallows had
been very friendly with the little prisoner,
| and had helped to brighten many lonely
hours This evening the swallow said:
Tomorrow we are going to begin our jour
new toward the South
II know" was the reply, to-day when
| the window was open, / heard you talk
about it. How l wish 1 could go to my
home"
1--WE are rot going to your home" said
the swallow" but we are going to a land
, much warmer and more beautiful than this.
Here it will he very cold, and there will be
snow and ice.
"What are snow and ice?" asked the
canary.
'I cannot tell exactly" answered the
swallow, "ior l have never seen either; but
they must be very dreadful things, for when
they come the sun shines only short time
each day, and the people must either wear
very warm clothes or stay indoors on ac.
count OF the cold. Why do you not leave
this cage and fly with us to our home in the
south?"
"The door of my cage is always locked"
sadly replied the canary, "5ut." it added as
a CLEAN of hope flashed over it, 'perhaps,
when the children bring my feod in the
morning, they will be careless as once be-
fore, and leave the door open. Ii they do, 1
shall 20 away with you"
"Yes, do, urged the swallow, and then it
few away; for it must 90 to rest early, to be
ready for its journey the next day. The
canary again sat quietly in its cage; but. oh,
how it hoped to be able when the morning
came to fly away.
When night had come and all the people
in the house had gonese sleep, there was
stirring and whispering in the room where
the bird cage stood, The little fat ink we'll,
which stood on the table, said:
"How shall we enjoy the short time that
we are left alone?"
"Let each one tell a story" said the arm
chair. 81 know very pretty one, and
shall tell first"
"No, no." interrupted the steel pen. II
am stiff lying here so long. Let us dance.
And at once the hanging lamp, tongs,
