Two Hundred Miles an Hour.

Wonderful things are prophesied by
Edison Of his newly perfected cleo
tric system for railways, street and
other 1t will displace the locomo-
tive, because it can get from one or
two pounds of cheap coal all that a
locomotive can get from six pounds
of dear coal; it will begin to do this
between Chicago nnd Milwaukee at
the worlds fair; Henry Willard is to
run trains between these cities at
frequent intervals, say one or two
ears every twenty minutes, and may
then introduce the system on the
Northern Pacific lines; the electric
current will pass from a stationary
engine to q central rail between the
tracks and thence to a mechanism
attached to the bottom of a passen-
ger car or to motor drawing freight
ears, returning through the wheels
and side rails to the power-house;
three stationary engines of 10000
or II, 900 horsepower which will be
able to drive the whole Pennsylva-
MIA railroad system between New
York and Philadelphia; full speed by
this system will be 200 miles an hour
and Edison feels sure that "a speed
of 100 miles would be practicable on
-ballasted track with 100
pound rails; all the one man who will
take the place ofthe present engineer
and two firemen on fast trains will
have to do will be to keep a lookout
and mind his break; in the case of
street-cars the middle rail is abolished.

the motorand back through the 9th
er; a mile of track for this system
could belaid in one night under press
ure; Mr.. Willard will soon have
track for demonstration ready in the
neighbofhood of New York; wagon
wheels will not distract the current
because they are made of wood, and
the low pressure to be used will not
be felt by N horse or human being.

The celebrated physician, DIR. Jaco-

Cheap EPSON Salts.

If fhouseholders, instead of mutter-
ing customary curses when they
note an unsightly white efflorescence
upon the bricks of their domiciles,
would mount ladders and carefully
scrape off the deposit, they would
have on hand n constant supply of
EPSON salts, so handy TO have i'm
the house. DR.. Lehman, the noted
chemist, has analyzed the deposit.
and has found il to be nothing
more or less than magnesium sui
phate-Epsom salts. Its presence is
thus accounted for: Mortarcontains
lime and magnesium, while the air is
full of sulphuric acid, which upon
contact with the mortar, metamor-
phoses il into the sulphates of lime
and of magnesium. The brick itself
is porous and after "A rain exudes
water, and with the water the sui
phate of magnesium in the mortar.
The sulphate of lime, being insoluble,
remains behind. The water finally
evaporates, and thus the magnesi-
um sulphate residue is formed which
so mars the beauty ofbrick buildings.
The remedy for this eiflorescence is the
painting of the bricks either with the
ordinary article or with parafiine.

Senator PIumb,s Humanity.

In those days there were no rail-
roads in Kansas; in 1895 the first
road built was donea and but 40 miles
were in operation that year. The fu-
ture senator had to drive overland
with his corn and wheat so miles to
Lawrence to find a market. IL was
while driving across the country in
this way that Senator Plumb did a
heroic act of which his honest and
homely face was a monument. At
one of the taverns one night he found
that party of Ohio emigrants in
passing had left one of their number
dying of smallpox. Plumb swore
the man should be cared for. He
sent his team on TO Lawrence and
STAYED behind TO attend the sick man.
No one would aid him. Heimpressed
a team to carry the patient TO the
house of a man and his wife who had
had the disease and we're willing to
take the poor fellow in. The team
was taken away from him when he
had got but short distance away.
He finally got another and carried
his man through. Good care saved
his life. Then Plumb went on back
to Emporia afoot and was himself
taken with the dread disease and
nearly died.

The PUBLIC SCHooL.-The public
school came in for treatment at the
annual meeting of the Worcester Con
gregational Club on Forefathers' day.
The principal speaker was the Rev.
DIR. Mccullough. The public school
was declared to be the child of refor-
nation. One of the earliest results
of the reformation was the transla-
ton of the Bible, and this was
practical recognition of the principle
that the masses should be educated.
With this the public school came into
life. This fundamental conviction of
the necessity of educating the masses
was transplanted into American soil
by the Pilgrim Fathers. Under the
influence of the conviction that civil
and religious liberty was dependant
upon popular education and intelli-
gence, education became universal
and compulsory in the Massachu-
setts colony at very early period.
The public school system rests on
the same grounds to-day. "The
state taxes the people for common
school education, and then requires
the attendance of children at school
becouse the safety and best interests
of the nation demand it,"

AMERICAN Corn ABRoAD.-The ef-

maize products as food is of great
Importance to both continents. One
Of the first points the European has
to learn is that the quality of our
corn is far better than that of the
maize raised in Europe. The Euro
peans know nothing of the methods
of cooking cornmeal. They are hard

green corn, of which nearly 100, 900,
600 cans are consumed annually in
this country. 'Hhe people of Europe

4 Remarkable Invention That WIN Cut
Lumber with u Heavy Knife,

Lumber with u Heavy Knife.
\ new lumber cutting machine has
been tried at the works Of Il lumber
cutting company at i'geenpoint, l., !.
The experiment was highly success
full, The machine, upon which DR..
Bradley and Thomas S, Crane, of
Newark, have been working for the
past five years is AZ feet long, Is feet
wide and feet high. Its weight is
forty-five tons The object of the
invention, which may largely do
away with the use Of buzz saws,
is to economize time and lum-
Der itself. The machine will take
a log eight feet long and cut
boards from it at the rate of forty
minute of any width from 1852 of an
inch to one inch in thickness. There
is not the slightest waste of material
in the cutting, 1t is calculated that
when saws are used onefourth of
the wood is wasted in sawdust and
planning if inch boards are being cut.
IN saving boards liz of an inch in
thickness the loss is 2i5 per cent of
the boards turned out.
The knife is three feet long and
weighs 800 pounds. 1t works with
draw motion, sort of combination
of knife and saw, which prevents the
tibers of the wood from breaking
The roller preceding the knife com
presses the wood and aids in this
matter, which the inventors found
was the most difficult of the ends TO
be attained. The knife is moved by
wooden connecting rod, fastened to
wheel ten feet in diameter. Every
revolution of this wheel makes a
board.
The machine is fed by an apparatus
which is controlled by two screws
set in Rabbit metal. A chain gear
connects the two screws, 50 that they
move with absolute accuracy, thus
making the boards exactly the same
width from one end to the other. A
system of cogs is 50 arranged that by
changing the size of the cog wheel
the width of the board to be cut is
regulated. The total output of the
machine when in running order will
be from so, 900 to 100, 900 feet day.
The new invention, it is said, will
revolutionize the making of boards
for cigar boxes, backs of pictures,
butter boxes and the like. Ash,
cherry, birch and Eastwood logs can
be cut. The boards drop from the
blade as smooth as if rubbed with
sandpaper.@
with our saws" Mr.. Lewis said,
I'VE cannot cut dry lumber at all,
and this machine cuts anything.
Neither could our saws cut board
1-32 of an inch in thickness as this
will. But the best thing it will &C
complish will be the tremendous saw
ing in the wood itself"
DR.. Bradley and Mr.. Crane have
persistently stuck to this project for
five years, and at last they think
their reward has come. The machine
will undoubtedly be introduced in all
the big lumber tracts of the country.
The logs can be fioated by stream
right down to it and then shipped
out to civilization all ready for use as
boards. Safety Valve.
