Hard to Find the Best Place.

An expert recently testified before q
committee of the British House of Com
mons in regard to the relative purity of
the air at different heights above the street
level in London. He found the beet con-
ditions to obtain at height of thirty or
forty feet. Below that the dust is in ex-
cess and above that smoke from the
chlmneys prevails. The witness, Mr..
Prim, said be had exposed frames of wood
covered with blanketing material at diff
ferent elevations from the top of the clock
tower at Westminster downward and
found that after an exposure of FIVE honrs
there was more smut on the highest
frames than on any of the lower ones, but
considerable quantities of dust were de-
posted On the level of the court y ard.
The inevitable conclusion is that nothing
is gained in the direction of pure air by
going up more than forty feet, unless one
were willing to rise ten times as far as
that above the street level.

THE NEW SULKY.

THE NEW SULKY.
When charming Nancy Hanks trotted a
mile in 2:04 the other day she made it nec-
essary for Mr.. Robert Bonner to say some
thing. About year ago Mr.. Bonner Of
fered to give five thousand dollars to the
owner of any horse that would trot within
two years in 2:05 on any of the grand cir
cult tracks from Cleveland to Hartford, in
elusive. He was careful to specify the
grand circuit tracks, because he knew that
the nature of the land-the prairie soil
had given Indiana and Iowa unusually fast
tracks. He says his offer still holds good; !;
but the performance must be made to one
of the old regulation sulkies, the only ones
that were in use at the time the offer was
made-not to a sulky with the ball be airing
axles and pneumatic tires, which have only
come into use during the past two months,
and which have revolutionized all harness
records, including both pacing and trot-
ting.
Mr. Bonner ascribes the lowering of the
records entirely to the use of the ball-bear-
iDg axles aud pneumatic tree, and sensibly
says: "Because under the came conditions
both trotters and PAGERS have reduced their
time about five seconds within two months
we are virtually asked to believe by some
enthusiastic persons that these came horses
are five seconds better than they were two
months ago. How absurd" He has
studied the performances and promise of
the new sulky, and he has this to say
about it: From the trials have given it,
and from ell the information I can gather
from both trainers and owners of horses, T
feel safe in saying it will average five sec
onds fas er. 1t makes more than that diff
ference with some of my own horses. The
trainers at Meadville put it at six seconds.
The owner of Pickett, with record of
2:184, says it makes from four to five Sec
onds' difference with his horse. Charles
Caffrey & Co the we'll known sulky build
ers, write to me that in their opinion it
averages from three to five seconds faster;
and Mr.. Walker, the treasurer Of the Eli
OFT Hickory Cycle company, writes: "To
the best of our knowledge, we should say
that the difference was from four to six
seconds faster.;'
1t will be very interesting to see what
Mr.. Bonner's flyers are able to do with the
new sulky. He is doubtless figuring as
closely as he can on it. and if he thinks he
can beat the record he will try it. 1t is
pretty certain that he will be able to hang
on to his five Thousand dollars

Fast Trains Are the Safest.

tlie 4NcWS-l
Superintendent Darlington, of the Penn
sylvanis lines, is of the opinion that fast
trains are the safest, and unless there is
a defect in the track an accident seldom
happens to them. "Our No. z" says he,
sis known to be an exceedingly fast
train, and every one keeps out of its
way. At Knightstown, for instance.
where our fast trains pass through at
nearly sixty miles an hour, no one has
ever been hurt. The people know the
trains cannot be stopped in a second and
govern themselves accordingly. 1t is in
towns where there are slow ordinances
that people are hurt. They know the
trains are compelled to run slow, and
take their time about getting scross the
track. The experience of railroad men
is that fast trains are the safest. In the
event of cattle on the track IL is better,
too, to hit them hard than easy. / was
on the engine of a freigh. train once
when we ran into q flock of sheep. The
animals were huddled together around
the bell vether and my hair began to
rise. I thought surely We would be
thrown from the track. The engineer
put on a full head of steam and struck
the flock at great speed. The engine
threw the sheep TO one side like chsff.
Had he tried TO stop or run slowly the
engine would have been derailed."
Two years ago a COW was seen in the
middle of the Monnn tracks in front of
a train. The engineer tried to stop. and
the result was the locomotive was de-.
rallied and the engineer killed. A few

THE ENGLI,u DEMOCRATS.

At the Ninth ward Republican meeting
Tuesday evening the Hon. N. D. Sperry
made an impressive speech in few words.
He said: Every paper in Eugland is in
favor of the election of Grover Cleveland.
Whys Because the principles of the Dem
ocratic party are in favor of English in
dustry. My friends, whether native or
adopted Americans, where do you stand!
Are you for England or for Americaa Dur
ing the Revolution every English paper
was against us. During the civil war
every English paper was against us. Pa
triots and soldiers, where do you stands
1t is both amusing and instructive to
read the English papers nowadays. They
are doing all they can to help the cause
of Democracy, and though the wis
dom of their utterances may fairly
be questioned their zeal is sp-
parent. For instance, the Swansea In
dustrial World thus howls: Do not be
deceived. The victory of the Republicans
at the polls means the retention of the
Mckinley bill, and means the rapidly &C,
cruing loss of the so per cent. of the ex,
port American trade. Had there been nc
Democratic victory in 1890 the spread Of
the tin plate manufacture in the United
States would have been both rapid an6
bona fde. That victory was stupendoui
shock to the Republicans, and it almos
paralyzed the would-be tin plate manufac
turers of America. Nevertheless they
pullsd themselves together, and at onc'
saw that they must make as brave
showing as possible in time for the doubl
election of November in 1S92-namely,
new congress and a new president. The.

engine on the Chicago division of the
Pennsylvania, and herd of cattle got
on the track. The train was running al
most forty miles an hour, but when the
engineer saw them he threw her wide
open" and went into them at foil seven
ty five miles an hour. No damage was
done except to ''muss up" the engine ex-
tensvely. The engine man was asked
why he had thrown on the extra speed.
His reply was that, had h. been running
slow, 1t was eight chances to ttn that he
would have left the track.
