Delivery of BrHiis In London wtthhn es
Days OF Leaving Yokohama

Dayb Ot ltaNfhB
LONDON, Sspt. G-The transport Of
mails from Yokohama across the Ameri-
can continent will in all probability be
delivered in London within twenty-one
days. This is undoubtedly a great
triumph for the Canadian Pacific rail-
road and its subsidized line of steamers.
The mail train accomplished the dis
tances from Vancouver to Brockville at
the rate Of thirty-six miles per hour over
the Canadian Pacific and reached New
York by the New York Central railroad
at a speed of fifty-one, miles per hour.
OF course this remarkable performance
must be regarded as tour de force, for
ordinarily it could not be expected that
means would fit SO exactly throughout
as to enable mails landed at Vancouver
at noon on Saturday to be shipped at
New York early on the morning of the
following Wednesday. 1t may be as
sumed, therefore, that transit under
ordinary circumstances would bq6pearer
twenty-five than twenty-one days.
However, it shows what can be done in
case Of emergency, and the Canadian
Pacific railroad and its steamers afford
an alternative route to the east through
British territory. The route is estab-
lished and all its advantages are at the
service of the empire in time Of need.
The delivery Of mails in London within
twenty-one days of leaving Yokohama is
d feat never before accomplished. Suff-
ciently remarkable in itself, it is preg-
nant with untold issues of the future in
the British empire.

Quick Way of Making a Foundation.

An interesting mode Of obtaining a
foundation for new building Is described
by n correspondent In Indian Engineering;
a hole is bored In the ground (Which was
previously damp from ten to twelve feet
deep and an inch and a half wide, and q
string of cartridges was lowered into It.
The subsequent explosion not only pro-
duced a cavity yard In diameter, but also
drove the water out of the surrounding
earth by means Of the expansive action Of
the gases. The water did not return to It's
former place for fully an hour, so that an
opportunity was afforded to ill up the
cavity with quickly settling concrete, ana
q rapid ratio of working was thus attained.

QUESTION ASKING.

A Useless and Disagreeable Habit Some
times Innocently Indulged In.
The English have an old proverb to the
effect that those who ask no questions will
be told no lies 1t would be we'll to bear
this surly old proverb ever in mind when
tempted to make idle inquiries, advises
Harper's Bazaar, which hhS the following to
say on the subject;
We may have no bad motives when ask
ing Mrs. A. how she became acquainted
with Mrs. B.; we may not, in fact, care
much about tho matter; but it has occurred
to us to wonder how, why and where lady
of such elegance and fashion as Mrs. A.
should have become so intimate with the
humble and unattractive Mrs b. that the
one can rarely be met without the other
So far no harm has been done. AS we
have asked no questions, no mischievous
surmises have been set ahoat, and no rude
ness has been committed 1t may be that
neither woman would object to making
known the origin of their friendship; but
IL may also be that TO tell it would be to
unfold along story Of sorrow or misfortune
Every one detests the scandalmonger,
but his occupation would be gone without
the aid OF the questioner. The latter's
motives may be innocent, but the results
OF his vulgar impertinence are often disas-
trous. Every one who feels in himself a
rising inquiry In regard to the private af-
fairs OF Others should crush it. Parents
should use every effort to divert the nat
ural curiosity OF their children into useful
and elevating channels.
A little girl of eight years stood squarely
before visitor OF her mothers, her large
blue eyes staring unfalterlngly while she
asked. as II the answers were her due;
"You were away from home last week,
Mrs. NJ. Where did you go, Whom did
you go to seer What did you go fors Did
Mr.. NJ go with your Why didn't he gof
Why did you stay 80 long"
And so on and on, the visitor mean
while making frantic efforts to maintain a
conversation with the child's mother, who
herself had most painful time of it, di.
vided as she was between her own curiosity,
which was keen as that of her child, and II
half perception of the impoliteness of the
interrogatory.
Having returned TO her own home Mrs
M. began examining herself in regard to
her own methods with her children
"Haye | ever suffered them," she do
manded Of herself, ito ask questions in
regard TO matters which do not concern
themT A low voice sounded in her heart
with painful clearness; "Yes, have, and
worse. There Is hardly day in which
have not asked useless and sometimes even
impevtinent questions of my own family
and intimate friends, even II | have not
been thus impollte to chance acquaint-
Ences." II more OF us listened frankly to
the nccusations Of conscience, the number
Of Ill bred questioners would speedily
diminish. A friendly interest receives con
hdences with pleasure and guards them
with care. II neither demands nor reveals

srAHrrNo WITH raR TRAN STARTER.

grAlErINU WITH THK TRAM STARTER
Tho combined starter and brake which Is
ffxed TO tho front axle contains two strong
spiral springs and in the operation Of stop
ping the car these are wound up. When re-
leased the stored up force OF the springs
sets the car in motion for distance Of
thirty yards on the level Tho machine
serves both as brake and a starter, and
the power Il utilized by \ simple turn OF a
handle As the ordinary brake gear is dis
pensed with, the net additional weight Of
the new machine Ia claimed to be incon-
siderable when compared with the relief
afforded TO tho horses by the car starting
absolutely OF It's own accord
Tho energy OF motion OF tram car dur
ing the act OF stopping is stored, and thore-
by made available TO propel the car for
ward or backward n considerable distance,
instead of being expended In friction, as Is
the case with ordinary hrakea The power
is collected into a system Of powerful coil
springs, tho resistance OF which acts
through the axle on the wheels to stop the
car almost instantaneously. While the or
dinary brake block arrangement causes a
rapid wearing away OF both blocks and
wheel tires, at an annually recurring ex-
pense per tram car, It IL claimed that the
new brake In connection with this tram
starter, acting as II does on the axle and
not on the wheel tires, obviates all the
wear and tear due under this head to the
present defective System. The brake can
be worked from either end Of the car as at
present, but as, in tho place OF winding up
a chain or rope Of some length the driver
has merely to movo the handle either a
quarter or half circle to stop or re-start,
he is saved much muscular exertion, while
at the same time he has tho car absolutely
under control to check, stop or to move for
ward or backward at will

Simultaneous photos Of Il car In motion, de-
pict the car starting with and without the
assistance Of the starter.

Pore February 81, 1873 Although strong
advocate of the temporal dominion of the
popes, Leo XIII. is opposed to radical meas
ures and extreme views. He has literary
tastes, and practically edited great part
of the records of the papal court. Natur-
ally there is always a certain amount of
friction existing between the guirinal, rep
resenting the temporal and secular power
in Italy, aud the Vatican. This is why
there are such frequent reports of the
Pope's being about to leave Rome. OF late
years Leo XIII. has been in great request
as an arbitrator in International disputes.
His decisions have been invariably given
with judgment and fairness. The Pope
has gentle and very winning manner. He
has been in ill-health for a long time, and
in Rome and elsewhere there is much spec.
ulation as To his SUCCESSOR.
