.PHNNSY TN MINIATURE.
Interesting Railroad Ex-
hibit Designed for the
Chicago Fair.
THREE ACRES OF TRACKS.
All the Features of Modern Rail-
road Management to Be
Practically illustrated.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1. 1s92.-The Penn
sylVania Railroad Company has decided
to have an extensive exhibit atthe Chicago
Fair, which will give a full explains
ton of how the trains of the company
are run, the construction of the roadways,
and the material used by this company.
This exhibit will cost the company be-
tween $50, 900 and SIC, 900.
T. N. Ely, general superintendent Of
the motor power. whose headquarters are
at Altoona, is the officer who has this
matter in charge, and he is giving it
great deal of attention. In fact
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panY will have two exhibits at the
Chicago Fair, one in the enclosed build
ing and the other main exhibit on a plot
OF ground near the main station at which
all passengers will enter tue ground.
They have secured q plot of ground Of
near three acres in area and on it they
will erect four tracks.
STANDARD RAILS,
The rail will be of the new standard
100-pound rails and each rail wild be SIXTY
feet long; thus every rail that hfaid down
will weigh a ton. These rails will be
fastened to the standard ties of the COM
pany and will be held in place by the trn-
proved ballasts used by this company.
the tracks. If it can be secured, the first
engine ever used by this company, named
John Bull" and which is now IN the
possession of the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington. They will also, If practIr
cable, have the latest engine constructed
by the company previous to the opening
of the fair.
WAY STATION STUDIES.
The main feature of the exhibit Will be
the stations which will be located midway
on each side of the track. The main sra-
tlon, or where the ticket Office is, will ba
on one side for trains going one direction,
and the waiting station on the other sida
of the track. 1t is the intention of the
company to connect the two stations by an
overhead bridge, and if practicable, ,aaso to
connect them by a tunnel. The last idea
has not fully been decided on as yet, as it
is not known whether the marshy ground
will permit them to construct a tunnel
under the tracks at a reasonable expense
The main station will. besides having all
things pertaining to one of the standard
stations of the company, be an extra
large size, about $50 feet In length. 1t
will also have room for exhibits.
The Reading Company will also have
an exhibit. but what it will be has not yet
been fully decided upon. 1t is said that
Coal and Iron Company will put on ex-
hibit fac-simile of one of its coal break
.ers, and will show how the coal is mined
and got to market.

meath Grand street, and continues its ir-
regular way to the Morris Canal, beneath
which it passes, by a huge syphon, and
finally reaches the end of Jersey avenue
and flows into the South Cove grant.
SEWERS DRAIN INTO IT.
The Pine street sewer which drains
large part of Lafayette, empties into the
creek, and so does the Pacific avenue
sewer, also IN Lafayette. The drain of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at
the Point of Rocks also empties into the
creek
The creek is at present about one mile
long. When the tide rises the refuse
from the three sewers mentioned is car
ried back to the beginning of the creek,
and when the tide becomes ebb, and the
water in the creek becomes lower,
much OF the sewerage matter car
ried up by the tide is left
on the banks of the creek by
the recedinR water. The creek itself is
a black stream OF very filthy water, aver
OF it is composed of a most disagreeable
sort of black mud, which reeks with
filth When the banks of the creek over
flow because of unusually heavy rain
falls vast amount of filth is distributed
all over the meadows, and it lays there
until from natures efforts it disappears.
WEST BERGEN NUIsANCEs.
If the dreaded cholera should ever
secure foothold in Jersey City, it would
be augmented by the disease breeding
ponds and garbage heaps in West Ber-
gen. There Is not even one sewer in
West Bergen and the result is that sew
age matt er settles in vacant lots.
AT the southeast corner of Clendenny
avenue there are several vacant lots
sloping toward West Side avenue. To
the west of this vacant space are frame
houses From these waste water flows
into the lots and forms in a hollow near
West Side avenue a stagnant, marshy
spot, peculiarly obnoxious to the neigh
bors opposite, who have complained TO
the Board of Health.
On Yale avenue there is another stag
nant pool of water. Six houses empty
sewage into the pond, and the result is a
pest hole situated right in the midst of
dwelling houses, and a menace to the
health of residents.
Another i'll smelling pond can be found
on Hatch avenue. w hen the hot rays of
the sun penetrate it. the stencil arising
from this pond is fearful.
CHEMICAL SMELLS.
The stencil arising from the Mallin-
chrodt Chemical Works almost nightly is
thought to be dangerous to health, and
West Bergen residents will notify the
Board of Health.
Henry Byrne's garbage collectors have
not been seen in West Bergen for months
and residents are forced to dump their
garbage in the vacant lots. Almost every
vacant lot in the district is covered with
heaps of foul, ill smelling garbage.

Lamps Of New Simplicity.

An arc light being five times as bril-
liant as an i%ncandescent lamp, in pro-
portion to the current supplied, there
is Il widespread demand for an arc
lamp OF moderate size suitable for in
terror illumination. Hence a variety
CT designs adapted to low-voltage in
candescent circuits. In this branch
OF invention German electricians have
brought out q better device than any
originated on this side the ocean.
They have made a lamp OF very CON
venient size and form, which needs
but half the current required in the
best American model. AS shown at
the Frankfort Exhibition last sum
mer, this contrivance was 80 simply
put togetherthat it was not beyond the
capacity OF an intelligent domestic to
trim it.
An important point this, forthe Ger
man custom is that the company
which generates the current does
nothing more than deliver it. The
customer using such lamps as he
chooses manages them himself. Indeed,
in Germany, the day is at hand when
electric lamps will be bought at the
grocer = .!uSC us cnllllheyS KEROSENE
lamps are now. And no reason ex-
sists why the remainder OF the world
should linger behind Germany. What
bars the way to the universal use of
clean, pure brilliant electric light? An
oil lamp or IL gas jet pouring it's foul
and heated products into the air of a
house, is really OF the same category

sends it's gases up q CHM

often is not realized until their treacherous
fangs have been fixed upon the vital por-
ton of life. Nothing can be more decep-
tive. for their symptoms are varied in near
ly every instance. Thousands of persons
have been their victims without realizing
or knowing what it is that afflicted them.
Thousands are suffering to-day who do not
know the cause.
The discovery made by Mr.. H. H. War
ner has been acknowledged throughout
both hemisphere to be the only discovery
Tor this great modern evil now known to
the world. Like all great discoveries it
has had its enemies end met with opposi-
ton, but its marvellous popularity with the
public has been phenomenal and its com.
plete acknowledgement by scientists and
the professions has been deserved. 1t
stands, as it deserves to stand, upon a plane
of its own, pre-eminent among all proni-
nent discoveries for the relief Of humanity
and the promotion OF happiness.
