HOW THE WIDDlS ELECTRIC

MIR. widdis Proposes to Send Mails by

ize the Mail Service.
Five Hundred Miles an Hour.

One who would propose, speaking
seriously, to transfer parcel or a
letter from New York to San Fran
cisco in eight hours, causing it to
traverse the intervening 1000 miles
at the speed of 500 miles an hour,
would be considered by most persons
to be highly imaginative or grossly
unveracious. Yet this seemingly i'm
possible task is precisely what Albert
Leslie Widdis, of Detroit, processes
to be able to accomplish with his re-
Gently invented aerial electric rail-
way. Mr.. Widdis' rapid transit de-
vice. model of which is now on
exhibition at the Worlds Fair, is an
elevated railway, with electricity as
it's propulsive force
In appearance the car designed by
Mr.. Wlddis resembles long, square
box, terminating at one end In a
pyramidal projection running to a
sharp point. This is the forward end
OF the car and is intended to pierce
the air at tremendous speed, with
a minimum of resistance. This car
is suspended by iron hangers from
four wheels 2 feet inches in dame
ter, which in turn rest on single
bar of ordinary railway Trail
stretched on arms projecting from a
line of poles arranged exactly like
telegraph poles. The patent cash
carriers in use in many large shops
closely resemble the method Of
suspension from a single rail en-
ployed by Mr.. Widdis. Below this
Trail is another of the / pattern,

against an arm extending from post
set up by the track, the shelf is de-
pressed, the mail bag falls to the
ground or on the platform of the sta
tion or into a net, while the car flies
on, and the shelf, released from the
action of the lever, returns automat-
ically to its former position, ready
for another load. When it is desired
to shunt cars from the main line to a
lateral branch the same principle is
used to open and close the switches.
These devices render the system al
most automatic in its operation.
The advantages claimed for this
new method Of transportation are:
First, speed, which can be easily
forced up to 500 miles an hour: sec
ond, safety, because the track being
elevated accidents are impossible;
third, economy, the first cost of the
elevated track being small and the
repairs nearly nothing, while the cars
can be built for $500 apiece. The in
ventor is confident that his applica-
tion of electricity to the transporta-
ton of mail and light freight is a
success and will be generally adopted.
Mr.. Widdis asserts that there are
no inherent difficulties in his system.

which serves at once as guide and
a support, and which prevents the
wheels from leaving the main track.
In the center of the car is a specially
designed electric motor of exceeding
lightness and power that drives by
means Of sprocket wheels and link
belts the driving wheels above. The
current to operate this motor is taken
from a wire strung above the track
by a trolley wheel much after the
manner of the ordinary electric street
Car. The electric power is to be ap-
piled from dynamo stations at points
along the route Very little electrical
force is required. 1t is estimated
that eleven-horse power will propel a

rate of 500 miles an hour

Dandics in the German Army.

Referring to the recent order of the
German Emperor with regard to the dam
dvtied irregularities which had become
common in the German army, a CORE
spondent at Berlin calls our attention to
the fact that the Kaiser himself is not
altogether free from affectation of this
kind, inasmuch as he himself sets the
fashion of bangle" wearing. In most
of the many portraits Of the Kaiser the
bangle is brought into special promi-
nence by the position of the arm. But
though addicted to the bangle, he never
condescended to the earring, which
formerly was very commonly worn
among his officers.
In the time of Frederick William H..
when the German army was resting on
the laurels of the great Frederick, dan
dies hourished in great numbers among
the officers, in spite of severe official
condemnation of foppery. The mon
strosities and eXtravagances differed
but slightly from those Of to-day-sharp-
pointed toes, ridiculously high collars
and short overcoats without seams.
Latter-day eXquisities have also adopted
the plan of crowding on the finger as
many rings as possible-he who can
carry the largest number on the ring
fingers and at the same time bend his
finger being considered to have the
bluest Decentralization Giobe.

DUKE OF YORK'S TACT.
How He Reformed a Harum- scarum Sea-
man and Made Man of Him.

man ana Maue u MAN Oh
A very good story is told of the Duke
of York in illustration of his tact with
men under his command as we'll as his
capacity to read character, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. When in command of
the Thrush on the West Indian station,
bluejacket belonging to another ship,
who was constantly in trouble, was
brought on board a prisoner for convey
ance to his place of punishment. On
the way the Prince came to the conclu-
sion that the fellow had good stuff in
him, and he petitioned the admiral to
allow the man to be transferred to the
Thrush after he had endured his penal
ty.
The admiral doubted the wisdom of
the request, but he allowed the Prince
to have his way. When the man came
on board he was brought before His
Royal Highness, who informed him
that he would have a clean sheet for
past ohenses and he put in the first
class for leave. The man had not been
on leave for a year, and he was natural
" amazed when the Prince further III
formed him that he might go ashore at
once, and presented him with sove-
reign, as his money had been stopped.
His commander told him that he would
trust to his honor not to break his leave
or misspend his money, and that his
future was in his own hands. The eX-
pertinent was perhaps a hazardous one
but it succeeded, and the man was
transformed into an active and we'll
behaved seaman, and soon obtained

the lower jaw Of medium sized skull

Guilty, unlike the most of ours) is
bent into. nearly a semi-circle, and
measures five inches along it's outer
curve. Only one inch Of this length
projects from the skull. The cores
ponding one from the upper jaw is
bent into more than complet" half
circle, and measures upon it outer
face four inches, of which less than
an inch protrudes from its bone cas-
ing. In width each tooth is five
eighths of an inch. Examination of
one of them reveals the secret of how
a beaver can perform such feats as
chopping down a birch-tree sixteen
inches in diameter, not to speak of
softer woods, like the Eastwood, Of
much greater size. The tooth is COM
posed Of two materials. Along the
outer face or front of the tooth is a
thin plate of exceedingly hard enamel;
on the inner, forming the body Of the
tooth, is a substance called dentine.
The dentine, being softer, wears
away with use; the thin enamel re-
mains comparatively unworn, so that
the tooth assumes the shape of keen
chisel that never grows dull. The
tooth is hollow at the base for half
it's length, and is filled with nour
ishing substance which keeps it con-
stantly growing. Thus, not only is
the natural wearing away provided
against, but a certain amount Of
wear becomes an actual necessity.
With such instruments, the beaver is
admirably fitted for obtaining its
natural food, the bark of shrubs and
trees. st. Nicholas.

II appears from private accounts
from Australia that the chief losses
in the recent failures will fall upon
the English stockholders and deposit
Ors. Most of the Australians had
warning in time, and withdrew their
money But the failure of financial
institutions which, with their branch
es, must have numbered not less
than a thousand must place the
merchants who did business with
them in such position Of peril that
they cannot tell whether they are
solvent or bankrupt. When a mer-
chant has to take care Of both sides
of the ledger he cannot know where
he stands. 1t seems, therefore, that
we must wait while before we can
see where the colonies are going to
fetch up. From revulsion Of this
character there is but one way out
that is, by the road of liquidation.
And in the present state Of business
in Australia siX-thousand dollars-a-
front-foot lots and shares in mining
companies are not likely to find eager
buyers. In the panics we have seen
in this country there have been
times when no kind Of property
seemed to possess value. Yet the
Australian banks must realize on
their assets, for it is only by so doing
that they can hope to pay their
debts
