Oh. q Miles AN uour.

On Friday, Nov. s, engine 3s5 Of the
Central of New Jersey, the Vauclain
four-cylinder compound, which several
months ago made q record Of ninety
one miles an hour, travelled n mile in 81
seconds, and two consecutive miles in
IS seconds, thus beating it's own record
as well as all others. This was done
with regular train of four cars, going
east, between Fanwood, N. j., and
Westfield, the grade being thirty-two
feet per mile, descending. On
the same trip distance
of five miles was traversed
in 3 minutes 25 seconds, thus making
the best record for that distance
(s7,s miles an hour). This was be-
tween Somerton and Falkland, Pa. on,
the Reading, which is the same portion
of the road where so much fast run,
ming has been done heretofore. Tha
grade here is partly descending at IL
and at 81 feet per mile and partly
level. This engine, No. ass. has four
7s-inch driving wheels, weighs CD
tons, with Al 1-h tons on the drivers.

What She Received.

Some years ago suit was tried be-
fore Justice of the Peace in West
crn town, in which lady was plain
tiff, and a bank defendant.
The evidence on the banks side was
strong. and showed conclusively that
the plain tiff had no right to recover.
No one could have the shadow of q
doubt on this point Her counsel
knew that unless he could get the
sympathy of the esquire" for his client
hers would be lost cause. He there
fore spoke with gushing eloquence and
warmth of his clients rights, and NJ
last succeeded in summoning up two
large tears which he suffered to triclslc
down his cheeks.
At this sight the Justice, who was an
emotional and tender-hearted person.
was also moved to tears. The attor-
ney was satisfied that the sympathy
of the court was with his client, and
closed his argument saying:
cit does my heart good to believe
that this honorable court in the exer-
else of a sound discretion will not
allow the rights of noble woman to
be trampled beneath the feet of a soul
less corporation. ~
Then he sat down, confident that he
should get a judgment Thereupon
the Squire rendered the following COM
prehensive decisions:
"The plaintiff in this case is woman,
and her counsel has for the last hour
touched the sympathy of the court in
her behalf, and am glad of It. But
j think, under the law, that justice is
ON the side of the bank. therefore
will find in favor of the bank, and let
the record show that Mrs. Blank has
the full sympathy of the court"

I cast iron bracket carrying the regu-
lating mechanism Of the device. The
tube forms a bearing for freely re-
volving horizontal shaft on whose
outer end are two sprockct wheels, at
a suitable distance apart to represent
the width of "a ladder, the notches in
the wheels being spaced to cor
respond with the distance between two
of the rungs OF the ladder, the rungs
being attached to endless wire ropes
On the inner end of the upper shaft is
a inter wheel in gear with n pinion, by
means of which governor is operated
to control the speed of revolution of
the shaft, as it is rotated by the weight
of one or more persons stepping on the
ladder. BY the operation of the gov
ernor steel brake band is made to
bear upon n brake wheel with a press
ure corresponding to the weight which
may be placed upon the ladder, en-
aiding persons to descend at n safe and
uniform speed, and insuring perfect
control, whatever the load. The gov
ernor may be regulated to run at any
speed desired. When the occupants of
the ladder alight the mechanism
ceases revolution, pawl preventing
the descent of the other side of the
ladder at any time, and enabling it to
be used when desired to gain access to
the building. To prevent the ladder
from becoming slack by wear or
changes in temperature, the shaft car

to which are secured ecccntrics with
enlarged collars adapted to be clamped
by lock nuts whereby the distance be-
tween the top and bottom wheels may
be regulated. The rungs of the ladder
are tubular, and the entire apparatus
is incombustible The wire rope lad
der and the spocket wheels are gall
vanized, and therefore will not rust.
The regulating device being
inside of the building and the main
shaft bearings in the wall, these
parts are entirely protected from the
weather. The wire rope forming the
sides of the ladder is passed through
bored apertures in the ends of each
rung, and firmly fastened by
means of wedge, whereby a very
strong ladder is made at a minimum
expense, and, being very light, is not
in any way a detriment to the appear
ance of the bull ing. A basket may
be hooked onto the ladder for chill
dren, or in other cases when desired,
and the apparatus may also be used
with great advantage as lowering
device for use in warehouses, mills,

An Improved wooden Vessel.

Ordinary buckets and tubs are being
replaced in the South and West by
the more expensive but more durable
fiber ware and galvanized iron vessels
but the difficulty heretofor expert
enced with wooden buckets is designed
to be obviated by the Improvement
shown in the illustration, as the
slaves are thereby prevented from
varying in dry seasons, and are
securely held in place and frightened
when carrying heavy load in the
vessel. The invention has been
patented by Mr.. Edwin M.
Reese. On opposite sides OF
the upper hoop bolt extends
through an opening in a stave, and
engages at it's inner end brace or
segmental hoop, fitted in rece s ON

Let Us Have Good Roads.

Col. Albert A. Pope deserves the
thanks of the present generation, and
will undoubtedly receive those of pos
terity, for his untiring efforts in favor
of the Improvement of American roads.
We need not repeat what has been
often said here and elsewhere, that the
crying n eed of our country is decent
ordinary roads, over which the farmer
can haul his produce to market and the
city merchant can distribute his goods
to his circle of rural or suburban GUS
toners with economy, speed and con-
venience. AS with all inveterate evils,
it is hard for us, accustomed to the
old system, to realize tho difference
which a better one would make in
our condition. The number OF horses
and mules owned in the United States
of keeping them is probably not less
than two hundred million dollars a
year. lis found, by hundreds of ex-
periments, that one horse, working all
day. and day after day, can do as much
work on q good macadamized road as
eight horses can do on a road covered
with gravel from four to six inches
deep, as is usually the case with
suburban roads after the annual re-
pairing. Now. bad as arc s.esc repaired
suburban roads, every person OF ex-
pericnce will acknowledge that the
labor of pulling vehicle over
them Is as nothing in COMPARE
son with that involved in wallow-
ing through Virginia, or Ohio. or In
diana, or Kansas highway after rain,
or when the frost Is coming out of the
ground. Indeed IL Is not necessary to

Manufacture Of Cod Liver OIL

The process of manufacturing cod
liver oil Mt Portugal Cove, Newfound-
land, Is as follows: 1t requires. as n
rule, two and half gallons OF liver to
produce gallon of oil. The livers arc
first carefully washed, and must then
be cooked" at once. For this process
they are first put into large tin
boiler, which is plunged into a large
iron boiler filed with hot water, the
water not being allowed to touch the
livers, which are thus gently steamed
till quantity Of oil is floating on the
surface. This is dipped out and filtered
through bags of moleskin. The last
filtration leaves the oil perfectly trans
parent, and without any unpleasant
taste or smell. The oil is exported in
sixty-gallon casks.

They were startled from their reveris by a
blast from locomotive whistle that
would have wakened the dead at the same

lines, and the wagon ran against them,
