A Notable Contest.

"The great problem with which cleo
trical engineers and inventors are now
struggling" said Frank J. Blain of the
Central Thompson Houston Company is
the making of an electric locomotive or
motor that will run with storage batter
les, and to make it cheap. We can con.
struct such a machine now that is per
fectly practicable in all but cost. But it
cost just twenty times aa much as steam
locomotive of the same power We don't
want anything like that.
"In our factory at Lynn, Mass, we
have in use an electric locomotive, using
the single trolley system, that we employ
to move cars about the yard. 1t is about
as heavy as an ordinary steam locomo-
tive and on several occasions it's strength
has been tested. It and an ordinary
freight locomotive were placed Oh track
facing in opposite directions and hitched
together. The steam engine was started
aud dragged the electric locomotive till
the current was turned on when it easily
walked away with the steam locomotive
with full head of steam on. Then the
track was sanded under the steam engine
and left smooth under the electric. Both
were started at full speed at the same in.
stant, and after the wheels few around
bit the steam engine started away with
its opponent. But no &c "er did the
wheels of the latter strike the sand than
it forged ahead, dragging the steam en-
CINE after it putting and with wheels fly
ing around, but perfectly helpless.
81 suppose it is that style of engine
they will use on the long distance road
between 81. Louis and Chicago. There
is no such line in existence and this will
be largely an experiment. They will use
the single trolly system and must have
power houses along the road every four.

vantage. The cost of the road will be
enormous, as only copper wire can be
used and it is far more expensive than
steel rails, mile for mile. Still, If they
once get it built there is no limit to the
speed that can be attained on the road.
It will simply be a question of how fast
they want to travel. Of course in going
at the rate of 100 or 200 miles an hour
the common trolley wheel would be i'm
practicable, as it would be continually
flying off the wire. Instead of the wheel
they will use large triangle of copper
wire 6xed in the pole. The base of the
triangle is concayed so as to afford wide
and sure resting place for the trolley
wire. 1t may be years before such a
road can be put into successful opera
ton, but when it is it will play havoc
with the steam railroads, for they can
not compete with it in carrying either
freight or passengers.-C Cincinnati Trid-

Making q Raise.

There's a certain business man in Chi
cago who is as cranky as e.can we'll be-,
and is at the same time very careless 10
his business affairs. But he il very rich
and has big establishment, and not an
employee likes him. About year ago
one of his clerks, getting $1,000 q year,
approached him on the subject of an in
crease of salary. The old man got hot

"How much are you getting now ?" he
asked.
The clerk was about to tell him when
a happy thought struck him.

By this time the manager had compre.

put Jones on the $1,000 list, and six
months later, when the old man found
how he had been worked, be called Jones

Hid Her Money in ii Ash Barrel.

The curious places in which women
conceal their valuables was never better
illustrated than by story which came to
light yesterday.
A ragpicker found an ordinary tin box
in an ash barrel in front of three hundred

forthwith offered two dollars for it by the
driver of an ash cart. The offer was
accepted, and when the driver opened
the box after he got home, be found in it

Circulars Of "green goods" men
have been sent to parties In Chattanooga
and vicinity by the hundreds. The
Times says that if any Of the parties re-
ceiving them have been unwise enough
to enter into correspondence with the
counterfeiters, after the repeated warn

There has been for q number of
wears rumors of buried treasures on an
old settled farm near Warren, Ark, the
original owner of which has been dead
for quite long time, and it was said that
but one other person knew Of The locality
where it was secreted. A few days since
a discovery was made that leads to tho
belief that the treasure has been un-
esrthed. At certain land corner, at the
roots of large tree, hole had been dug,
and at the bottom of the hole was the I'm
preston of vessel of some descrip ption
which had been imbedded in the earth.
A grubbing hoe and an ak were found,
and the remains of provisions and horse
teed showed that some persons had
camped near by. A survey of the sur
rounding trees showed this spot to be To-
Gated at the foot Of large tree, which,
with two other trees, formed triangle.
The belief is that some one in possession
of the secret has located the spot and un-
earthed the treasure.

Before You Call q Doctor.

Small particles of dust, cinders and
minute chips of metal frequently get in
the eye, with much resultant irritation
and even inflammation, if not removed
in reasonable time. What is at
first very loose attachment Of such a
body soon becomes firm ENHANCEMENT
by the vigorous rubbing 80 often en-
ployed. The sense of itching and irrita-
tion makes it very hard to refrain from
such rubbing.
The child, however, should be told to
simply keep the affected eye closed,
when the free flow of tears called forth
by the irritant will safely wash out the
offending matter. If this is not efectusl,
grasp the upper lid by the lashes and
pull it we'll down over the lower lid,
allowing it 70 sweep back over this part,
thus cleaning it out. Most foreign bod

this proceeding is ueually efectual, if
such body is not deeply and firmly
attached.
If the body still remains, the lids must
be everted over a pencil, and all parts,
including tbs ball in the eye, be care
fully examined in q good light. The
disagreeable sensation may remain sew

been actually removed, from the irrita-

This can be palliated by freely bathing
the lids with very hot water, holding a

irritation will ensue which will, of course,
not subside as long as the Objectionable
body remains in place.
If the child is old enough, direct him
to take full breath through the mouth,
and then, closing the unaffected nostril,
breathe forcibly out through the closed
up nostril. In case this is not effectual,
the end of hairpin may be bent so as
to form sort Of snare, and efforts be
made to thus scoop out the body. A

Kitchen Helps.


To remove stains from knives, rub
them with a raw potato before cleaning.
Pare your fruit with silver knife if
you do not want to discolor your hands.
When rice is boiling add a few d-ops
OF lemon juice to the water,
aud the rice will be very clear and white.
Many people are careless about
washing fruit. 1t should always be
thoroughly washed before it is put on the
table.
Skimmmed milk makes hardwood
floors stained ones, and oilcloth look
shiny. A wooden cloth should be used
to wipe up the floor with.
A sponge, large enough to expand and
fill the chimney. after having been
squeezed in, tied 10 slender stick, is the
best thing with which to clean a lamp
chimney.
Articles of food that are damp or juicy
should never be left in paper. Paper is
merely compond of rags, glue, lime,
and similar substances with acids
and chemicals intermixed, and when
damp is unfit to touch things that are to
be eaten.
Insects may be destroyed with bet alum.
Put in hot water aud let it boil until the
alum is dissolved. Apply hot with brush
and all creeping things are instantly
destroyed without danger to human life,
OF injury to property.
Fresh iron rust and fresh mildew
stains are best removed by soaking the
article which Trey are on in sour milk,
and after it has lain for day and night,
in the milk, rubbing the spots vigorously
with the hand in the milk. Where
mildew or iron rust is on white fabric,
it may be completely bleached out by
the use of salt and lemon juice, laying the
article in strong sun.
