Another New Motor.

An inventor in this city claims that by
his system the heaviest trains may be
moved at high rate of speed without
the least danger to the motor. 81 use, -
said he, "a large wheel, say five feet In
diameter. Around this place any de-
sired number Of motors. Usually from
four to six would be sufficient for the
trains of the elevated roads. These
motors have capacity of ffty-horse
power each, giving an aggregate of 200
to 3OO-horse power, which may be ex-
tended to many more if necessary.
Now, I simply divide the current,
a separate conductor for each
motor; this on the elevated
structure is feasible and perfectly
safe: through each of these conductors
| transmit 500 volts of current, which is
about the power used on the surface
trolley. THIS gives a separate voltage
for each motor and no possible danger
to the armature. The large wheel S
placed horizontally and supported by a
pinion. on the end of which is beveled
gear wheel, which meshes with SINH
lar wheel attached to a shaft reaching to
each axle and meshing with the axle
gear wheels, thus transmitting the pro-
polling power. This mechanism Is sup
ported by the usual car frame, and, be-
ing free from complications, has an APP
pearance of both neatness and strength.

THE GIRL OF THE PERIOD.

An exchange says there never was a
time when women appear more attract
i've or are gowned better or were more
Americanized than the present. When
Oliver Wendell Holmes, who hkened
the city girl to the peach ripened on a
southern wall, declares that American
girls fade early, too early, in fact. Their
great foe is indigestion. lsate hours,
hot suppers, bad ventilation, over heat
ed rooms in the winter, early paints on
the cheek the yellow hue of the SAT-
from, draws crows feet in the corner Of
the eyes, and gives that tired, faded
look that is the characteristic OF the
fashionable woman. It's true that of
late years they have undertaken to sup
ply the deficiency by lawn tennis and
other out-of- door pursuits. This is we'll,
but 1t should be based upon thorough
constitutional treatment. If they will
take the Laxative Gum Drop they will
find that all symptoms of indigestion
disappear as if by magic. There is
nothing SO good as this great remedy
for stomach trouble. The small boxes
are 1oc and tile large ones 25c, and
you can get them of any dealer.

A Real Wild Man.

A queer Individual was taken to the
Oakland County jail yesterday by Con-
stable L. M. Lyster, of Please nton. He
has been curiosity to the prisoners in
the jail, and he is known by the keepers
as the "Wild Man from Pleasanton. )"
When he was brought to the prison he
gave the name of James Darrell, and
said that he had no relatives living, as
lar as he knew, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
A peculiar story is told about the al
legged wild man by the constable. For
three years past Dorrell has been liv-
ing in the woods near Pleasanton. He
was seen occasionally, but always made
himself scarce when anyone ap-
preached. Lyster says he has been in
the habit of eating grass and leaves
from the trees. He is said to have eat
en- leaves with great deal Of relish. 1t
was a customary thing for him in roam
ing about the woods to pick up hand
full of fresh grass and eat it as though it
was delicacy.
Dorrell had no home. Wherever
darkness caught him he made his bed
for the night. When he wanted change
of diet he would venture near town and
make raid on neighboring orchard or
potato patch. The queer fellow has
been known to eat a raw potato and
smack his lips as though he were eating
an apple.
Many complaints have been made
against the fellow because he frightened
people by his conduct. Constable Lyster
concluded to make search for him, and
had good luck in running his man down.
At first Dorrell showed fight, but when
he found that he was captive he quietly
submitted to arrest.
At the Jail he is great source of GU
riosity to the prisoners. He initiates a
flute by using an ordinary leaf in pc
culiar manner. He twists his mouth,
and by the aid of the leaf he makes
clear notes which are not unpleasant to
hear. The prisoner refuses to have
anything to do with the men in Jail, and
contents himself by playing on his leaf
from early morning until late at night.
If he is not wild man he is certainly a
very curious character.
''He is queer creature" said Judge
John Marsh yesterday. 81 hunted
through the Jail to-day to find who was
playing that flute, and was surprised to
find my prisoner playing on his little
leaf"

How He Was Fooled.

He was considered one of the best in
his line. The case that required the
most intelligent, persistent, and care fu
work was the one that was usually as
signed to him. He had been at work
on one for three or four weeks, and at
last had secured what he considered
"clinching evidence"
It was bribery case, and his work
had been to entrap the wOuld-be brlber.
He had done it. He had secured a
single $40 note of the bride money, but
that was enough. The envelope con-
tanning the money had been opened in
the presence of three persons, and each
had put his mark on the bill so that it
could be identified.
Naturally he was jubilant, says the
Chicago Globe. People will be when
they think they have won victory,
and he had all the evidence he wanted
in his pocket-an inside pocket at that.
The bird was practically caught, and he
went home exulting.
Now, mark what can happen to man
who has victory practically won, but is
careless. He thought Of going to head
| quarters and depositing his evidence In
| q vault, but it was q long distance and
| then it would be better anyway to 60 to
| the chief in the morning and announce
| that he had bagged the game. So he
| took it home.
Once or twice he thought he was fol-
| lowed, but when he reached home he
| secuted the idea, turned in and slept
soundly. Robbery did not occur to
| him, even in his dreams.
In the morning-well, in the morning
! the money was gone. He almost faint

No More Digging.

The latest triumph Of Yankee in
ventive genius is an India rubber fish
worm. 1t is said to be remarkably
good imitation of the common earth
worm, is indestructible, and in actual
use proves as alluring to the fishes as
the genuine article. The old fisherman
will be quick to perceive Its advantages.
One can equip himself for days sport
his search Tor bait. A handful of india
rubber worms will last him a whole sea-
son, and there will be no necessity for
pulling up the line every few minutes
to see if the small fry nibblers have left
the hook bare.
Possibly the greatest admirers Of the
new bait, says the Troy IN. y Times,
will be the feminine fishers, who, how
ever expert with the hook and line,
have never reached the point where
thew can impale an angle worm without
a series of shudders. The only one who
will find it draw back will be the girl
whose chief delight in fishing comes
from the excuse it gives for keeping
some Young man at her side to handle
the horrid worms. The invention OF
the rubber worms turns angling into an
exact science, with no room for flirting
accessories.
Doubtless the india rubber worm is
only beginning of the marvels in this
line. From artificial flies and artificial
worms it is only step to other kinds OF
artificial bait. The time is not far dis
tant when bogus frogs, crickets, dobson,
snaiIs, grasshoppers and grubs will form
| a part Of every sporting outfit, with per-
haps artificial trout and bass for the re-
turning fisherman who dislikes to pass
down the street dangling single sun.
