Ida Runs an Engine.

Saws a Wheeling, W. Va. special TO
the Chicago News: Mrs. W, Newton
Lynch, West Virginia's representative
on the board of lady managers of the
Worlds Fair, in her search over tn G
state for samples Of the work Of women
and unusual occupations Tor women, has
made the discovery that West Virginia
has the only regularly employed rail
road engineer OF the feminine gender in
the world.
The engineeress' name is Miss Ida
Hewitt and she is the daughter Of
Charles II. Hewitt, one of the chief
owners of the Cairo Short Line, which
connects with the Baltimore x Ohio
at Cairo. She is less than n, and before
she took up her present occupation
completed boarding school course and
has all the ordinary accomplishments 0
well-raised girl.
''The Cairo Short Line was built few
years ago, and Miss Hewitt. then a
child, showed great interest in the ma
chinery in the shop near her fathers
house. She spent so much of her spare
time there that she learned the parts OF
locomotive and their use Later on.
when she had completed the education
she had decided TO content herself
with, she went into the shop, and
though she worked only when she
cared to and did only what she please 4 ,
she was soon fairly expert with tools.
One morning a few months ago, the
engineer of the narrOw-gauge railroad
was sick, and there was no one to 90
out with the train. Miss Ida yolun-
teered to go, and she made the run all
right. Finally the engineer died, and
she had taken such liking to her new
occupation that she decided to continue
ii regularly
Miss Ida is blonde wears cap over
her hair, a suit of blue cotton goods over
her regular dress, heavy shoes and
gloves. Her engine is always a model
of neatness and cleanliness, and it is
said that since she took charge Of the
train it has failed but once 10 be on time
at the end of the run. Mrs. Lynch SAYS
she presents novel and beautiful APP
pearance sitting in the cab with her
pretty head out of the win low on the
lookout. She has had several narrow
escapes from accident since SIZE took
the train, stopping it few feet from 4
baby that was playing on the track a few
weeks ago.
West Virginia will have train loaded
with her forest and mine products al
the Worlds Fair which it is intended To
run about the grounds daily. Miss
Hewitt has been offered the position of
engineer on that train and viii probably
accept it.

HE WILL LISTEN TO THE SUN,
Edison's Cosmicai Telephone to Hear
SunsnDtS Roar.

Edisons Cosmicai Telephone to Hear
Sunspots Roar.
One ofthe most curious arrangements
contIiyed by this most curious man for
his personal amusement and gratitica-
ton Is the arrangement which Mr..
Ed on calls his "cosmical telephone"
Edison owns an iron mine at Ogden,
\. j. There is a bed of magnetic iron
ore about a mile long and $50 feet
wide. which he saws runs down into the
earth for five or six miles. He esti-
mates the amount OF iron in the mine
at :. 900, O00, 900, 600 tons. Around Og-
den there is an enormous intensifica-
ton of the magnetic forces of the
earth. 1t is well known fact that the
daily variations in these magnetic
forces, a shown by the needle, are Iii
rectly influenced by the disturbances
in the suns spots. These variations
are regularly recorded every day at
Kew, near London. Mr.. Edison says
that at his iron mine near Ogden he
has more than million times the
concentration of magnetic lines than
there is at Kew. To record the daily
variations in his own magnetic lines at
Ogden, Mr.. Edison has constructed his
cosmical telephone.
There are the most wonderful things
going on in the suns spots all the
time" he says. Didn't YOU ever see
them? Why, they are beautiful. The
disturbances are tremendous. Bursts
of hydrogen fly out of these spots
600, 900 miles long. Awful things hap
pen up there. You can see them every
dav with my telescope"
To construct his telephone he has
surrounded the whole bed of magnetic
iron with poles. On these poles he has
strung cable of fifteen copper wires.
The ends of this cable are run down
into little house, and are connected
with the ordinary receiver of a com
mon Bell telephone. The idea is that
the surrounding of this enormous bed
of magnetic iron with the copper wires
VIII operate for the formation of gi-
gantic magnet such as is used in the
receiver of the everyday telephone.
Through this tremendous receiver Ed
son says he will be put in direct tele-
phonic communication with the sun.
only the communication will be one
sided. He can hear everything that
goes on up there, bat he can't do any
transmitting. He believes that every
disturbance in the suns spots Will
cause corresponding variation of the
concentrated magnetic lines at Ogden,
and that this variation will be at once
detected in some way by the receiver
of his cosmical telephone.
yes, sir, he says, 81 can hear them
with this telephone. The next time
there is any violent change in the suns
spots which disturbs the magnetic
lines on earth ! shall know it, and if
60).000 miles of hydrogen go chasing
away from the sun, | shall hear it"
The cosmical telephone is not yet
completed, as the wire stringing is not
finished; but scientific people other
than Mr.. Edison Will watch with GU
rions wonder to see what success he
will achieve.

a reward of $500 cash for an in
durable case of catarrh, no matter
how bad, or of how long standing.
They'll carry it out, too. It's one
thing to make the offer. It's very
different thing to make it good. 1t
couldn't be done, except with an
extraordinary medicine. But that's
what they have. BY it's mild,

it and see.
If You can't be cured, you'll be
paid.
The only question is-are you
willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents and the
trial begins.
If you're wanting the $500 you'll

Living on the Cars.

of the art of living than John +. Cham
berlain. He rode 10 Utica on the Chicago
limited the other day, and subsequently
said TO a friend:
The fault with all of these railways
that maintain dining cars Is that they
try TO do too much. Americans are the
most considerable people in the world,
and, while they invariably demand a
full equivalent for their money, they
are satisfied with less, if it is of the
best quality, than a superabundance OF
poor quality. Now, these dining cars
endtavor to lay too many dishes before
their patrons. People eat less when
they travel than when they are at home
or attending to business. What the
traveller desires for dinner is q good
soup, not canned but fresh, a salad, and
a light dessert. OF course, ali persons
would not be suited, nor are all suited
now, but | am convinced the majority
of travellers would be better satisfied. "
