A SURPRISE FOR WOOD.

On September 16, at the regular Wednes-
day evening prayer meeting, Prof Wood
took his old seat in the meeting room, and
after the reading of the Sunday School
lesson addressed the meeting on the Gospel
lesson and on religious principles in gen.
eral His friends congratulated him on the
address, and he thought he had taken the
initiative to heal the breach between him.
self and the elders of the church. On the
following Wednesday he spoke again in
melting.
On the Saturday following he received
letter notifying him that at session of the
church it was resolved that committee be
appointed to wait upon Prof. Wood and
inform him of the irregularity and impro-
priety of his action and request him to re-
frain from such participation in the weekly
prayer meetings in the future. Mr. Wood
replied in lengthy argument that such
ruling was contrary to the teachings of
Christ and the rules of the church. The
church has been rent and weakened by the
trouble.

Explorer Stanley's story of the Brandy
Bottles.

IbOIJleS.
At dinner in London lately Mr.
Henry NJ. Stanley, the African ex-
piorer, related some experiences of his
latest journey, one of which was de-
cidedly interesting. Several men of
the expedition, he said, received on
starting out bottle of brandy each
The liquor was French, and the bottles
were ornamental.
The first two months of the long Jour
ney were easiest of all, and did not tax
severely the endurance of the men,
who nevertheless found it convenient,
having the brandy at hand, to consume
it little by little, so that at the end of
those two months their supply of the
stimulant was exhausted.
After that the hard work of the Jour-
ney began. The men were none the
worse for the lack of brandy. Mr.
Stanley, after his many African jour
neys, knew this perfectly well. On
long and hard march in any country,
stimulants are useless. In an African
journey. where everything depends up
on cool head, a steady will power
which is subject to no fluctuations and
state of bodily endurance without
reactions, alcohol is particularly in
furious.
But, Mr.. Stanley had cautioned his
men, after they had exhausted their
brandy, to keep the bottles. They did
so, and by and by they found some ma
tives who were highly DESTROYS of pos.
sessing those articles. Being in need
of provisions, Stanley exchanged the
empty bottles for supplies to the value
of twenty-five pounds sterling, which
sum was very much more than the
brandy was ever worth at the highest
valuation. This experience seems to
suggest that while it may be wise to
take bottles into central Africa, it is
rather better, on the whole, to take
them empty than filled.-Youth's Com

THE BoYNToN UNICYCLE RAILROAD.
one rail, a connection is made by means
Of a vertical rod and upper switch bar
with a shifting section of the guide rail,
whereby, on the moving of the track
rail and the setting of the signal, the
guide rail will be simultaneously moved,
the adjustment being effected and both
being locked in position according to
the methods usual in ordinary railway
practice.
The cars, as will be seen, are each
two stories in height, each story being
divided lengthwise into nine separate
compartments, each Of which Will com.
fortably seat four passengers, thus pro-
viding seats for seventy-two passengers
in each car. Each compartment has its
own sliding door, and all the doors on
the same floor of the car are connected
by rods at the top and bottom with a
lever in convenient reach of the brake,
man, by whom the doors are all opened
and closed simultaneously. The com.
partments are each four feet wide and
five feet long, the seats facing each
other. Only one rail of the old single
tract: was used, as only one guide rail
had been erected, except at the ends Oh
the route, for switching purposes, but
the width of the cars and motor was
such that it only required the erection
of another guide rail, for the utilizing
of the other track rail, to form a regu-
lar double track road of the Boynton
pattern.
The section road on which this sys.
TEN has been operated is only l q miles
long, in which distance the curves are
considerable, but, although they are
mostly in one direction, the indication
of wear upon the traction wheels,
and upon the guide rail and trolley
wheels were hardly perceptible. Dur
ing portion of the season, when the
summer travel to Coney Island was at
it's height, trains were run on regular
schedule time, fifty-three car trains
daily each way, carrying from one to
three hundred passengers per trip. The
regular time taken for the run was
three minutes, but special trips were
made in two and three-quarters min.
utes each, including starting and stop
ping. The daily consumption of coal
in performing this service was but half
ton. The great economy of this
method of traction is also evidenced
by the smoothness with which the cars
run, and the entire absence of side mo.
ton and vibration, there being no strik-
ing and grinding of the wheel fanges
upon the rails, as is common on double.

JUDAS !SCARIOT.
The Probable Origin of His Name-Some
Legends About Him.

The Probable Origin of His Name-Some
Legends About Him.
There is no doubt or ambiguity with
regard to the earliest part of Judas
Iscariot's name. Judas is merely the
Greek or Helienistic form of the Hebrew
Judah" familiar to everybody But
'Iscariot" is, as it always has been, Il
puzzle. At least half dozen interpre-
tationsto the word have been suggested
by philologists, but no one of them is in
all respects satisfactory.
The most seeming of their number is
that the word is condensed or cor
rupted form of two Hebrew words, "Ish
kerioth," meaning the man of
Kerioth," Kerioth being a village in
Southern Palestine, where perhaps
Judas or his family had their origin.
The name, however, is of no conse-
quence for our present purpose: and we
have remarked it only to show the
mystery attached to the man in every
phase of his surroundings.
With regard to his birth, legend and
and myth are as copious. as in commune
ture with regard to his name. Here
are two of them for which we are inn
mediately indie bted to Moncure Conway:
In the apocryphal Gospel of the In
fancy it is related that Economical
boy, brought to the child Jesus, strikes
him. whereupon Jesus weeps, and Sa-
tan comes out of the boy in the shape
of furious dog. This boy was Judas.
According to another legend Judas
mother had dream before his birth
that her son would murder his father
and sell his God To avert this the
child was sunk in the sea, but was cast
on shore. He was adopted by king
and queen, who had a son, whom Judas
slew. He fled to Judea, became the
page of PLATE. and, after the predes-
tined murder of his father, learned from
his mother her dream.
In terror and contrition Judas hears
of prophet who forgives sins. When
he throws himself at his feet, Jesus,
recognizing him as his predestined be-
traycr. accepts him as disciple and
cntruSts him with the purse, so that
Judas avaricc might be excited and
the plan of salvation not fail. Judas
thus becomes heir apparent to the in-
fernal throne and in mural pictures of
eastern churches he appears seated on
the knee Of majestic Sa.anb -Aii1lneapo-
lis Tribune.

Railway Search Light.

A search light for railway purposes

the electrician of the New Jersey Cen.
trail railroad. One Huntington light of
5000 candle-power was mounted on the
switch signal bridge twenty feet above
the track. AS result the bricks could
be counted in station building one
third of a mile away; when turned
on the track the ties could be
counted to the same station. Colors
were plainly distinguished at half mile
distance. At 1880 feet it would enable
an engineer to tell the position Of

High Speed Traffic.
During several weeks last summer
there We're in regular and continuous
operation, in railway passenger service,
the locomotive and cars shown in the
lower view herewith presented, the
service being between Gravesend and
Coney Island, on an abandoned section
of an old standard gauge track of the
Sea Beach & Brighton railroad. The
locomotive weighs nine tons, and has
two 10 by 12-inch cylinders, the piston
rods of both being connected with
cranlls on each side the single six-foot
driving wheel, and the front of the To-
connective being also supported by two
SS-inch pony wheels, one behind the
other. These wheels have double
hanges, to contact with either side of
the track rail, as also have similarly ar
ranged pairs of 3S-inch wheels arranged
under and housed in the floors near each
end of the cars.
In the upper view is shown an i'm
proved locomotive especially designed
for this method of traction, and built
for use on street railway of western
city. 1t weighs 16 tons and has
pair of five-foot drivers. The crank is
only seven inches in length, and the en-
CINE is designed to readily make 600
revolutions a minute, and maintain a
speed of 100 miles an hour with full
train of passenger cars. The first Boyn-
ton locomotive, described in September,
1889, had an eight-foot driving wheel
and weighed 23 tons. 1t proved too
heavy for use on the old Coney Island
road, although it was undoubtedly cap
able of making very high speed and
easily drawing heavy train of single
wheel cars on a properly arranged
track.
In true line with. and fifteen feet
directly above the face of the track
rail is the lower face of a guide rail,
supported from posts arranged along
the side of the track, and on the sides
of this guide rail run pairs of rubber
faced trolley wheels attached to the
top of the locomotive and the cars. The
guide rail is a simple stringer of yellow
pine, AXIS inches in section, and the
standards on which the trolley wheels
IRE journaled are placed far enough
apart to allow space of 6 inches be-
tween the contiguous faces of each pair
of wheels, thus affording IL inches for
lateral play, or sidewise movement
toward or from the guard rail, it being
designed that the guide rail shall be
arranged in the exact line of the true
center of gravity of the cars and
locomotive. The standards are bolted
to 6-inch wide strap iron attached tc
and extending across the top of the car.
The switching arrangement is re-
markably simple. In addition to an or
binary track switch, in which, however,
the switch bar is made to throw only

The fad for souvenir spoons has evil

There are souvenir spoons galore, rep

American celebrities, in instance OF
which may be noted the Whittier, Long

old towns of historic Importance have

These souvenirs fortunately blend
utility with beauty. They are made in
sufficient variety of sizes and shapes
to serve as tea, coffee, dessert and pap
spoons. There are specially formed
spoons for oranges and spoons with
fancy bowls for almonds, bonbons,
olives and the like. Each family may,
therefore, collect fine assortment of
these souvenirs without feeling that an
inprovident thing has been done.
These commemorative spoons furnish
a never ending fund for conversation at

he had listened to this conversation of
saloon politicians, and later to polit-
lcal speech addressed to them and their
compeers as constituents, he said: II

officers. Scores of men, he said, have
told me without false pride that they
would as soon concern themselves with

as others see us who come from abroad
as students of our political institutions
