A CHANCE FOR INVENTORS.

The government of India is offer,
ing a number of prizes for the best
designs or models of a cart suitable
for military requirements, to wit, a
mule cart for the transport use of
the British army in India. The
prizes offered are five in number,
and are respectively $3.50, s., 500,
SI,875, SI,25o, S625, or $40, 900 in
all. Industries says: The award
will be intrusted to a jury contist-
ing OF three military and three tech
nical experts. The question of cost
being of the highest Importance the
designs should give the estimated
price in pound sterling or rupees of
a single cart delivered free on board
in London or at Bombay, Calcutta,
or Allahabad. AS a guarantee of
good faith on the part of the COM
petitor as regards estimated cost, he
will, RECOMMENDED for a premium,
receive, in the first instance, only
one-half of such premium immediat-
ely on its award. He will, however,
only receive the same proportion of
the other half as represents the pro-
portion by which he may have under
estimated the actual cost of the
cart. 1t is left to the jury to ascer-
tain by tender in the open market,
or by such other means as it consid-
ers suitable, the cost of the cart to
government, and to make its award
accordingly. The object desired to
be attained by this competition is
the production of a design, accom-
panied in cases by a working model,
for a military transport cart adapted
to conditions which make the use OF
interchangeable metal parts for all
important portions of the cart alb.
solutely indispensable. The designs
and models should reach the Sec
etary to the government of India,
Military Department, Calcutta not
later than June 80, 1898.

Traffic Of The Elevated RAILWAYS New York.

On October II, the Columbian
celebration day, the Manhattan
system carried I,o75,537 people.
The expression, a million people,
does not convey any very definite
idea to the mind, but it may assist
us, says the Railroad Gazette, to
understand what hat figure means
if we say that if the people who
travelled ON the elevated railroads
on that day were arranged in single
file as close as they conld convenient
ly stand together, the line would
reach from the Battery, in New
York, up along the Hudson River
to Albany, and out on the New
York Central Railroad as far as
Auburn; or they would reach from
Troy to 40 miles beyond Buffalo.
When we consider that probably
there must have been at least $780,
900 of these people who wanted to
take the cars at the same time when
the parade was breaking up, that
this crowd would fill 900 trains of
cars to their utmost capacity, and
that number of trains distrib-
uted over the entire tracks of the
elevated railroads, both up and
down, would leave only 800 feet
intervals between trains, it is not
surprising that there was consid-
cradle delay in getting on and off
the trains and that travel was very
slow; but it is remarkable that, so
far as known, not a single accident
occurred to any of the 3,ooo,oo of
passengers that were carried in the
three days, October 10, II, and IL.

ARRESTED FOR SMUGGLING.
The smuggler Claims He Had No Inten-
ton of Smuggling.

One of the officers at the Custom
House made complaint to Commissioner
Rand against John Pitman of Liverpool,
England, on charge of smuggling. A
warrant was made out and Deputy U. S..
Marshal Smith went down to the steam
ship Monaghan and served the paper on
Pitman who is the fourth officer of the
Monaghan.
Yesterday morning the prisoner was
arraigned before the commissioner and
was bound over to the April term of the
grand jury in the sum of $500. Bail
was furnished by Charles W. t. Cooling,
Esq.
This affair had it's origin last Saturday.
Pitman was then coming off the. ship
with two bundles of papers. The Officer
told Pitman that the papers must be
searched. One of the bundles was
placed in side pocket. This aroused
some suspicion and after little persis-
tence on the inspectors part and a slight
refusal on the Britisher's part, the bum
die was given up to be inspected. In it
was found q fine meerschaum pipe adj
dressed to party in Baltimore, Md. The
arrest of Pitman followed. Sd
Before the commissioner yesterday
morning, Pitman explained by saying
that he was not aware that he was COM
M tilg any wrong in bringing this pipe,
which had cost him over in England
