The Danger of High speed at Night


The Railway AIe, In its editorial
comment upon the uauger of llisions
in high speed at night, says: Self
preservation and every other motive
prompts the engineer TO stop ut the
appointed meeting place, and 1t Ia not
difficult to believe that In the dead of
night, In an open country having few
land marks, with a dense fog. In
creased by smoke and steam settling
down upon the line, the engineer
may miscaIculate his speed and lose
bis reckoning.
To the insatiate ne ssi0n Of the pub
lilo tor the "fast time" Is due in part
ct least another of the maay appall.
ing accidents of late years. Seated In
his comfortable car or waiting at the
traveller is impatient at every in
stant's delay and thoughtless of the
possible dangers of haste. II time il
lost the engineer has to bear
the blame and hear or ina
CINE the reproaches or ridi-
Guile OF passengers, trainmen. dis
patchers and superintendent. More
over to slow up is to invite possible
collision from the rear, and to fail to
make the meeting pOint on time means
danger in front, and so he drives on -
sometimes to destruction.
To prevent the possibility of acct
dents like this will the railway of the |
future be lighted every mile Of its |
length by electric lights, like the |

Taking Thackeray Seriously.

The obscurity in which Thackeray
has left the beginning OF Newcome,
Bart, is an instance OF his forgetful-
ness about his people which, glarins
as it is. has hitherto escaped COM
ment. Thomas Newcome, the elder,
is said to have been "the founder" Of
the Newcome family. We are given
to understand that he was found
ling. Up to the time OF his demise
there was no Newcome, Bart. Mr..
Newcome "might have been made"
one. but she eschewed bIood-red
hands" AS he said: at wouldn't
do; the Quakerl connection wouldn't
like it," But his twin sons by his Sec
ond wife, Sophia Alethea Hobson, are
stated to have been called Hobson
and Brian respectively, latter their
uncle and late grandfather, whose
name and rank they were destined to
perpetuate. The crank" is clearly,
the Newcome Baronetcy; but, equally
clearly. the uncle and grandfather
must have been Hobsons-the foun-
der OF the Newcome family being chin
self alone" The twins, at first take
order as above. Then Brain is de-
clared to be the elder s'by a quarter
of an hour" He is referred to as
"Mr. Brian" All at once he becomes
"Sir Brian" and "perpetuates" a
crank" to which, for all thatlappeara,
heIhad no right whatever.-Notes and
Queries.

The Coming Hog.

H. C. Dawson, OF Iowa, is OF the
opinion that the future hog must be q
rustler, one that has the get up and
go to him, an animal Of fine proper
tons, with extra top-line, broad, deep
hams, clean cut, smooth underline,
free from fabbiness OF jowl or belly,
with deep bacon sides, the deepness
extending we'll back to flank and for
ward to shoulder, not uneven, and
deep in center. having fne.cut head,
smooth and broad between the eyes,
jaw broad and tapering we'll and even
to muzzle, eyes clear and prominent,
with ears standing we'll out from the
head, breaking evenly and smooth to-
wards the point, but would even pre-
fer q standing up ear to q drop or
flop ear; rs a drop or flop ear, flabby
jowl and underline, in my experience
are not rustlers, and are more inclin-
ed to disease from their nature of
slothfulness, and these bad points are
generally found together. The bone
should not be too large, but OF fine and
strong texture, firm, standing erect on
their pins, tapering wellfrom arm and
thigh down to feet. Some people have
an idea that the size is the most
desirable in the the selection of hog,
and that large bones, no matter how
badly shaped is the hog for them;
claiming that large hogs must have
extraordinary large bones: while a
good bone is desira BILE, if we'll shaped,
small bone is more to my notion
than big awkward shaped one, for
this reason, q hog that has the right
form and small bone possesses the
faculty OF putting on deep flesh, and
making big returns for his feed, and
carrying to market desirable meat,
while the other is a harder longer feed
er, and goes to market with a larger
per cent OF low>priced meat.

SAVED BY BORROWED BABY
Some Other Woman's Infant Saves
Wealthy Woman's Life.

q w SoiIilJ '" oiIldIl LII (.
A borrowed baby, and a pauper
baby, too, has just saved the life OF
one OF the wealthiest society ladies Of
Bellevue. The circumstances sur
rounding it tended to excite the great
est curiosity. Early one morning a
fine carriage was driven hastily up be-
fore the Bellevue hospital, and a lady.
alighting, begged OF the matron the
loan or a little baby for few days.
This request is not such a novel one
at the institution as might be sup
posed, and Minnie Jones, q young
mother, was easily persuaded to sur.
render up her two-weeks' old babe.
The visitor gave her name as Miss
Charlotte Pace, and her address as
311 Fifth avenue. The infant was
without delay whirled away to the fine
mansion at that number, with the
arlstocratic name "Le Grand B. Cam
nom on the doorplate 1t was learn
ed that some lady within was very ill
and had the delusion that she was the
mother Of q child. Her continual cries
for her baby had really made her i'll.

WONDER IN DISTANCES.
What the Words Twenty Billions of
Miles" Really Do Mean.

1t requires but little effort to esti-
mate what the words twenty billions
OF miles" really mean. A billion is
one million millions, and l shall en-
deavor TO convey an idea OF this
amount by @ few simple illustrations.
Supposins that our great forefather,
Adam had begun to count as quickly
as he could, and that when his life
was ended his son commenced where
the father had left off, and that he
spent his whole lifetime, day and
night, counting as fast as he could,
and supposing that upon his death he
had enjoined upon his heirs an eter-
nifty OF counting, and that they con-
tinued doing SO up to the present mo.
ment, their united efforts would not
yet have reached the amount OF one
quarter OF billion. What depths Of
mystery!
Another illustration may be given
to convey an idea Of that unthinkab BILE
distance. If we were to take a sum
equal to five times the amount OF our
national debt and were to expend it
In two-cent postage stamps, we would
get about 1,O0O,OOO,OOO OF them.
Now draw o. line around the great
city ofLondon, includingevery house in
the suburbs, and then take an area Of
equal size, stick your billion stamps
side by side, touching each other, over
the entire area, and you will not be
able to get them all on.
After every inch OF that immense
surface has been covered you will have
countless thousands OF your billion OF
stamps left. That star is twenty
billions Of miles away!
What a wonder in distance! We
cannot grasp it in our imaginations,
nor are we more successful if we try to
make map OF it. Suppose we pro-
coed by first laying down the sun and
then placing the earth one inch from
it, that being the relative distance.
Then, if we require at what distance
to put your star, using the same scale,
we will find that it must be placed a
distance OF eleven miles.
Knowing the distance of the near
est fixed star and feeling the wonder
ment which that very distance excites,
what are we to say Of the distance OF
the furthest OF those which are visible
to us? Here, indeed, is the puny mind
OF man bewildered beyond expression.

Hints About Colt Feeding,

Almost every horse breeder has his
pet notion with regard to the best
method Of breeding colts and young
horses. 1t sometimes takes the form
OF overlooking, the young animal be-
ing stuffed till he is fatter than is good
for him. But more generally the
mistake is on the other track, with
holding more than is meet" until
there is danger OF loss of strength and
vitality. A growing colt, like growing
boy, needs to befed more heavily than
q mature animal, and needs greater
variety of food than will suffice for the
older horse.
A horseman of experience says that
he has found the current opinion that
clover hay is not suitable feed for a
horse untrue SO far as relates to a
young animal. The regimen he
provides for colts is milk. grass, clover
and timothy-m;lk first, because the
colt can easily digest and assimilate
it, and the others in due order as they
are able to take care of each in turn.
This is feeding on sound basis.
1t is easy to test the accuracy OF the
position taken by simply changing the
order followed and noting the result.
If timothy, for example, is fed first it
will be found scarcely at all dicested in
the manure, while clover will be en-.
tirely assimulated.

Number Of Eggs,

How many eggs per annum will the
best non-setting varieties of hens lay?
We have heard of single Hamburg and
Leghorn hens producing $50 to 800
eggs each per annum; but what we
would like to know is, can q flock OF
ten up to fifty average this? There is
no doubt. with proper care in selecting
to breed from, and in time such a
flock could be brought upto this great
average. The difficulty, however, in
selecting breeders from a flock is to
ascertain which hens out OF it lay the
most eggs; for there are some, even
among the non-sitters that lay few,
and if their eggs are Matched, the chick
ems like their mothers, would prob
ably grow up poor layers. In order
to increase the average laying OF q
flock, eggs for Matching must be select
ed from those hens which lay the great
est number. Now who will go into
this and give us hens that we can de-
pend upon, every one, to lay an as.
sured number OF eggs per annum, as
with COWS which will give a certain
quantity of milk or butter per annunl?
Yet, to be certain of this, the former.
like the latter, must be kept separate.
Who will take the particular trouble
to do this? 1t will be we'll worth ones
while; for he could rapidly sell chick
ems thus producing at large price,

Electric Locomotives.

George Westinghouse, Jr., is quoted
as follows on the subject of electric
locomotives: GAS to the operations
of the standard gauge roads by eec'
tricity in place of the present steam
locomotive, such talk is all moon
shine. It is a question OF centraizins
the power economically. Were
anthracite coal must be burned, as
on the New York elevated roads, 1t
may be found economical to use soft
coal to centralize the power. the
present locomotives have very nearly
the full efficiency OF a stationary
steam boiler. Now, to put in its
place an electric motor connection oy
structure with q steam plant cores
ponding to all aggregate OF all your
steam boiler plants on wheels would
be really duplicating your power
equipment with but little advantage
and no economies, while there is re-
duced efficiency by reason OF the
transmutation of the heat units from
the coal through dynamos and wires
to an electric motor on wheels: III
the present stage of electrical sc'e~ &c
talk OF the operation of STANDARD
gauge roads throughout the country
by electric traction is wholly VISION
ary."
