CALIFORNIA, which is ahead OF her
sister states in many things, IS foremost
in Selling new opportunities for indus
trial advancement. Electricity is to be
brought into the city OF Sacramento
from water power at Folsom, eightsen
miles distant, and at Fresno the people
are preparing to go back into the foot
hills and bring 100000 horsepower into
the town by wire, to run machinery,
mills, cars, elevators, etc. Who will be
the first to do as much for our Montana
towns? ..... 4.

THE Columbia Falls Columbian says:
Helena people seem in a fair way to learn
something about the tariff system in exist
ence. The INDEPENDENT offers to wager
$1,000 that it can prove that American
made goods are sold cheaper in foreign
lands than they are sold here. The jour
nal is invited to accept tho wager. II will
have to do 30 or back down from its argu-
ments and assertions. It's a fair way to
bring out the real facts and educate the
b~amboozled public. "
But the Columbian's hope has been
disappointed. The Journal has backed
down and no longer disputes our propo-
sition. ~T--

The town elections in Connecticut
last week resulted in democratic victor
les of some significance. Hartford and
Meriden, the homes of Senators Hawley
and Platt, we're both carried by the
democrats. In Hartford Senator Haw-
ley took an active part in the canvass,
worked for the straight republican
ticket and made q speech in support of
the Mckinley bill. But it was of no
use. The republicans were defeated at
every point. Connecticut shows no
signs of getting back into the repub-
lican column for 1892.

An Engine to Be Bnilt That Will Bea All

An Engine to Be Bnilt That Will Beat All
Records. ~
''If the new engine I am about to have
constructed is not capable of making 1OC
miles an hour I'll give her away to the first
person ] meet" . Ns
This astounding statement was made yes
terday by Mr.. Jackson Richards. the mas
ter mechanic of the Philadelphia & Read
ing railroad, who was exhibiting to a party
of deeply interested persons the drawings
for a locomotive which, if successful, is al
most sure to revolutiOnlze the construction
of the high speed locomotives of the future.
Mr.. Richards, who is recognized all over
the United States as having no peer in
knowledge concerning locomotives and
railroad machinery, has been working on
his latest invention for the past ten years,
and a few days ago the drawings were COM
pleted and the patent was applied for.
The new invention will enable q gigantic
stride to be taken in the matter of high
speed locomotives, and If the new flyer is
as successful as the experts predict she will
be, it ID more than likely that the time be-
tween Philadelphia and New York will be
engine will be built for exhibition at the
Worlds fair, and the trial trip will be
made between here and that city, says the
Philadelphia Record.
In outward appearance the new locomo-
tive will not differ materially from the
speedy engines now used on the Philadel-
phia d Reading railroad between this city
and New York. Thu popularity of con-
struction lies in the fact that instead of the
two cylinders, as used at present, there
will be four. One cylinder will be located
on each side of the locomotive frame as at
present, and the other two will be cast In
what is known as the cylinder saddle. The
inside pair of cylinders will be in one
piece, and will be or an angle. The out
side cylinders are to be horizontal as at
present.
The four cylinders will entirely overcome
centre, and the engine will be perfectly bal
anced without any counter balance in the
wheels. This latter improvement will. to a
large degree, do away with the vicious
pounding which has proved so destructive
to modern road beds. The perfect balan-
cling of the engine will be largely due to the
workings of the two cylinders so near her
center, and these same cylinders, working
as they do from such a central point OF
vantage, will help out in the matter of speed
to a great degree.
According to the experts who have ex-
amined the drawings, the valve motion ID
perfect. There will be four valves-one to
each cylinder-and they will be operated
by two links, the same as now used for two
cylinders. The engine is designed to be
built on the Wooton fire-Do1, the same as
is now used on the famous "2O6," which
made a mile in the remarkable time OF
80 4-5 seconds on Aug. q. The ordinary
speed of the destined world-beater will be
eighty-five miles an hour.

Origin Of Texas Fever.

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 12.-Dr. Frank s,
Billings, Investigator of infectious animal
diseases for Nebraska. asserts that he has
completely demonstrated that the germ
is the cause OF Texas fever. He has isolated
this fever from the blood Of Texas ticks
cultivated them pure, and killed cattle by
an incubation with cultures direct from
the ticks.

The of tin plate, in this
,ountry, propose to have something to
say to the manufacturers of that article
and have formed a union, as one of their
number says, "to choke off all tin plate
liars in the United States" Congress-
man-eleot Bunting, of New York, who
represents the canning industry, which
now consumes more than one-half the
lin plate used in the United States, says
that that industry, which comprises
1000 factories and gives employment,
directly or indirectly, to nearly 100000
people, is made the mark for a disas-
trous discrimination, and proposes to
organize and fight for relief. He pro-
duces figures to show that the increased
cost to Of canned goods, by
reason of the duty on tin cans, is enough
to pay $4,000 workmen a salary Of $500
per year, with 100000 left over. 1t
would require 10000 acres of land to
grow the corn represented by this
waste. In the absence of the duty the
came could pay the farmer 25 per cent.
more for the fruits, etc., canned, and still
sell them for the old prices. The meat
packers, he says, used 100000 boxes Of
tin plate in the year ending March /,
1891. Of this product 475,O0O boxes
were consumed in this country. The
duty which the paid was
81, 225, 75o, or enough to pay for 56,227
more head Of cattle, which would have
paid the farmer $40 per head and would
have required for grazing over 100000
acres. And yet the Mckinley organs
tell us the tariff is not a tax.

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 1.-the state senate
has effectually killed the extreme anti-rail-

the bill known as the Berner bill, which
passed the house last week. The bill was
aimed at the West Point Terminal COM
pany, and if passed would have involved
railroads in a large amount Of litigation.

PRESIDENT HARRISON shows the clever
politician in making himself agreeable
to Headsman Clarkson. Clarkson isn't
the American people by any means, but
he will be a big factor in the American
national convention next year, and if he
is a Harrison nan it will be SO much the
better for the man from Indiana. The
only trouble about Clarkson is that he
is mighty uncertain.

1t is just so with the electric current,
If We force a current of electricity through
a wire the electrical energy will be trans
formed. through friction, into heat energy
and the wire becomes warm. 1t the cur
rent is sufficiently great the wire can be
readily melted. In the lncmdescent lamp,
therefore, it is the friction between the
electric current and the ilament that causes
the white heat. and rs no combustion can

sary to know how many mcandeScent lamps

forms of energy from one of which the
other can be obtained, the above informal
ton is calculated In the following manner:
The unit of electrical energy is the watt
and it takes TAG watts 30 equal one horse
power The watt is the product of one
volt of pressure into one ampere of current.
So that, if we know the pressure in volts
and current in amperes needed for any
incandesCent lamp, we can at once cal
culate the electrical energy For eX-
ample, if a lamp requires fifty volts Of
pressure and one ampere of current to
bring it up to its proper candle-power, its
energy in watts will be found by fifty multi

quires 100 volts and half an ampere its en-
ergy in watts will be the same as before
that is, 100 multiplied by one-half, or fifty
watts, and as it takes 746 watts 20 equal
