Demand for Heavy Engines.

At no time in history of railroads have
the efforts to improve the work of engines
received more attention than at the pres
ent. Mechanics are attempting to de-
termine the most perfect combinations
of speed and strength. and at the same
time economize in the use of fuel. Each
year the standard of locomotives in this
country is raised higher, and the engines
of the present time are great improve
ment on those of even ten years ago.
Some master mechanics are of the
opinion that the heaviest locomotive now
built is as heavy as it is practicable to
build one, while others predict that still
heavier passenger and freight engines
will be built and the roadbeds of the
country SO improved as to admit of high
speed with safety, even if an engine
weighs one-third more than the ten
wheel passenger engines now in use
What the future of mechanism will bring
forth to increase the speed and power of
engines is a problem of interest to others
than mechanics.-New York Telegram.

A Wonderful Mineral Substance.

A new mineral substance, resembling
asphalt. has been discovered in Texas,
which promises to become very useful
to the scientific and industrial world. It
is unaffected by heat, acid or alkalies.
and is'said to be the most perfect in
sulator yet discovered. 1t may be used
for paint and is perfect covering for
wood or iron, resisting all the influences
which destroy ordinary paints. AS a
varnish it retains its character under all
conditions. Itmay be rolled into tissue
and used for waterproof tents, clothing,
etc.: it makes leather impervious to
water and prevents iron and steel from
rusting.
Professor Hamilton, of the Western
Electric company, finds that wires COW
cred with this substance offer sevenfold
the resistance offered by other wires,
and the results Of it's use in electrical
engineering are likely to be very marked.
The material is found in unlimited guam
titles, from two to forty feet below the
surface, and if it proves as useful as il
promises will be new source of wealth
to Texas.-Boston Transcript

An Interestin. Tennis Battle.


There is something superb about the
loftiness of the average British army
officer when in the presence of ''civil-
ians." In the recent tennis tournament
for the championship of the maritime
provinces of Canada, Halifax sent the
flower of her majesty's officers to COM
pete for tennis laurels The military
men poopoohed the idea that the ''civil-
ians' had of making fight worth talk
ing about with British redcoats. Nov,
if you had any military men here" said
one, lit might be different. They
stalked around with a majestic army
stride before the tourney began. Then
two young men, hardly more than boys,
who had heard the talk about the. s..civil-
ians," frightened their belts and went for
the whole British army.
They defeated all her majesty's players
save two, the ''crack'' pair Of Halifax,
and when their turn to meet came the
humiliated officers leaned back and
smiled once more in superior way.
''Now let these youngsters beat them, if
they can," they said. And the youngsters
did beat them. They played tennis that
made the officers shiver, and thrashed
them beautifully. The military men

Why He C;,:.,lEed.

Conductor c., of our early train. was a
church member with u reputation of be-
ing good natured and mild hammered to
all. He's changed in appearance since
Saturdays trip. Our train had just start
ed from station when we saw some
distance off an old woman of the colored
persuasion and of 200 pounds weight,
shiny and nervous. with carpetbag and
umbrella swinging with the energy of
her great exertion to catch the train.
His heart was touched and he pulled
the ropes for down brakes. At this
unusual signal every window was pushed
up and an eager head thrust out of each.
The conductor smilingly encouraged
the would be passenger, and the others
cheered her as she thundered along in a
full duck gallop Two lady friends of
hers (bruneStes) stood upon the platform
of the car and frantically beckoned her
approach. When at last she was landed
by the train. and was helped on by the
conductor, three brakemen and a boy,
she greeted her two friends with several
affectionate 'tsmacks" and a ''goodby,
children" then rolling back again to the
ground she turned to our polite conduc-
tor and said. ''Thank you. boss" and
waddled away.
That train was started as by one in a
spasm. and the minister read on the fol-
lowing evening prayer request from the
wife Of backsliding conductor.-Troy

Why People Go to Europe.

The high fares on American railroads
result in sending people to Europe. All
of New England and the Middle states
are full of people who have climbed Alps,
visited Rome, boulevards of Paris, been
all over the United Kingdom and seen
the midnight sun on the coast of Nor
way, and yet who have never been west
of Chicago They hear of the beauties
of the Pacific coast, they read about the
glories of the Yosemite valley and they
want to go and see them, but when they
learn what it will cost they think they
cannot afford to go farther than Niagara
Falls. After that they go to Europe, and
so year by year the Atlantic passenger
lists have been swelling rapidly until
now they are something stupendous to
contemplate.-Bangor (Me.) News.

A Hard Joke on a Isashful Couple.

A pretty girl from out of town had
been staying for some time with young
lady friend il Buffalo, and as the time
for her departure drew nigh a young
man from out of town turned up and
volunteered to attend the young girl on
her homeward journey. The hostess put
up liberal lunch for the travellers, and
then filled in all the crevices with rice
She also put some in the young mans
coat pockets, slid some into the young
lady's parasol, and likewise deposited
some in the epths of the young mans
umbrella. Eoth boarded the train with
out noticing these suggestive additions
to their traps.
The result is not yet known, but as
the young man is slightly bashful, and
the young lady is known to blush on
slight provocation, the consequences,
when the rice fell all over the car floor
can be imagined.-Bufalo Enquirer

James E. Cliff. of this city, who is en-

vicinity of Canaan, VT, met quite sur
prise Sunday. While walking along in
the woods in Pittsburg, N. H., he sud-
denly became aware that three bears
were very near him and his gun was out
of order. Time was precious, however,
and fearing he would lose his chance he
fired, and fortunately captured the
largest Of the three. A second and third
shot brought down the other two. He
sold the pelts of two of the animals for
twenty dollars. and as there was a
bounty of ten dollars on bears in that
state he made on the whole transaction
about fifty dollars. The third bear Mr.
Cliff will stuff and mount.-New Bed
