Big Jack Dolan pulled OUT of Omaha the
first fast train that had been fitted up with
air. Dolan's experiences with the new air
brake led him to have remarkable conf
dence in himself and in his engine, old
So. The first man in the roundhouse
board is the first man out usually, and so
1t happened that one day Dolan found
himself ordered out on the pay car. AS he
said it, he was on the board to haul the
grease wagon / got forty miles and as
much more as l could make with safety
i cut 'er way back and pulled her tail
clean out. and l tell you, neighbor she
was turnin 'em when we sailed out over
the summit Well, you know that when
there's bruising hill to climb and sharp
curve when you strike the level
"Over against the hill is a big clay bank.
Joslyn was the pay boss then, and he was
kind Of particular about getting along, so
] made up my mind to show him what SO
could do. When we pulled up at Gil
more / jumped down to drop little fat
on her. Joslyn yelled to go ahead before
got round, and when Iswung up hooked
her up as soon as she got 'em to turning.
Then gave her the grit and opened her
up, and we got out of Gilmore as if we
were going somewhere. When we struck
Papio hill we were doing seventy five miles
If we were doing foot. Just as we hit the
curve on the level a rail turned on us, and
hang mel if we weren't against that clay
bank in a second. 1t wasn't any use to
goose her, but l shut Ter off and got ready
to jump. Just then we got to the end of
the clay bank where the track comes in
again. When old So hit that rail she
sort of give jump, and the old grease
wagon and the pay car slid square back on
the track again. pulled her out again,
and don't believe we lost a minute. and
Joslyn never knew he had been a hundred
yards on clay New York Sun.

Oil and Vinegar for Domestic Use.

Hugo Nordlinger, of Stuttgart, has hit
upon a permanent combination of oil and
acetic acid which, Popular Science News
says, is of great practical use for technical
or medicinal as well as for domestic cult
nary purposes. 1t may be employed for
preserving. or for making salads or mayon-
naise. 1t is prepared in the following man
ner: Take olive oil of the best quality,
and add to it, under constant and active
stirring, some of the best cider vinegar
The proportion between oil and vinegar is
not mentioned, but, as will be seen direct
ly, it can readily be determined at the first
trial. The turbid mixture produced is now
mixed with finely powdered table salt and
again thoroughly stirred, after which it
is set aside to separate into two layers.
The upper one will be perfectly clear and
consist of oil combined with anhydrous
vinegar or acetic acid, while the lower,
turbid layer will contain water, salt, etc
The oily layer is decanted and bottled. The
amount of salt added is proportionate to
the amount of water present in the mix
ture. If acetic acid is used. only a small
amount OF salt is wanted; if vinegar is
used, more must be taken.

STARTING WITH THE TRAM STARTER
The combined starter and brake which is
fixed to the 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 a distance of
thirty yards on the level. The machine
serves both as brake and starter, and
the power is utilized by a simple turn of a
handle. AS the ordinary brake gear is dis
pensed with, the net additional weight of
the new machine is claimed to be incon-
siderable when compared with the relief
afforded TO the horses by the car starting
absolutely of its own accord.
The energy of motion of tram car dur
ing the act of stopping is stored, and there
by made available to propel the car for
ward or backward considerable distance,
instead of being expended in friction, as is
the case with ordinary brakes. The power
is collected into system of powerful coil
springs, the resistance of which acts
through the axle on the wheels to stop the
car almost instantaneously. While the or
binary brake block arrangement causes a
rapid wearing away of both blocks and
wheel tires, at an annually recurring en-
pense per tram car, il is claimed that the
new brake in connection with this tram
starter, acting as it 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 the place of winding up
a chain or rope of some length the driver
has merely to move the handle either
quarter or half circle to stop or re-start,
he is saved much muscular exertion, while

A New Hosting Machine.

A novel machine called a whip hosting
drum has been invented in Rhode Island
for unloading lumber aud other freight
from vessels, which, according to The
Journal of Commerce, has been found to
be a great improvement Oh ordinary meth
DDS in the saving Of time and labor The
machine has three drums which operate
two derricks and Il central line which runs
to the hold of the vessel; the power is fur
nished by an electric motor of ten horse
power, the capacity of the motor being 500
volts and making 1000 revolutions to the
minute. A belt connects the motor with
the shaft which operates the drums, the
power being transferred to the drums by
what is called paper friction; each drum
is operated by lever and can be stopped
in an instant. The motor is self oiling
machine, drop of oil falling on the bear
ings every thirty seconds. When the lum-
Der is drawn from the vessel, a large hook
from the wharf derrick is attached and the
sticks are transferred in the most ready
manner to any part Of the yard.

Results which are claimed for this mech
anism are:
l. 1t saves the horses the labor of start
ing the car, inasmuch as it moves the car
automatically forward from a state of rest
after a turn of the winch handle.
2. 1t facilitates for the horses the draft
up inclines or gradients by utilizing the
power stored by previous stopping.
3. Besides the automatic movement for
ward, the brake can. 10y a corresponding
