Railway Exhibit.

s"A"ay
The display inside the Transporta-
tion Building at the Columbian Expo
sition Is bewildering in its range and
variety. The whole history of trans
portation, from birch-bark canoes to
steamships, and from pack horses to
palace cars, is unfolded in a manner
never to be forgotten. Looking down
from the galleries upon the acres and
acres OF exhibits, one sees a monster
black steam hammer for forging armor
plates which towers above the second
story, row of famous locomotives fac
ing out from the annex like q herd of
elephants, a full section of a colossal
ocean steamship, and scattered about
here and there, thousands Of objects
that tell the story of how man has
gradually annihilated space.
The invention and development of
the locomotive and railway system is
the nineteenth century wonder. Less
than sixty-eight years since the first
passenger railway ran its first crude
train. Now the great civilizer has
penetrated every country. About ten
acres Of ground floor space are devoted
exclusively to exhibits pertaining to
railway construction, equipment, ope-
ration, management and development.
Sixty-four modern locomotives of all
types and sizes from the two one-hun-

BEFORE COLUMBUS LANDED.

A City Built Before America Was Dis
covered.
There ie now in Texas people who
can trace their ancestry back hundreI ID
OF years, who are descended from the
Aztecs and whose principal city was
built when Columbus landed on Ameri.
cas- shores. This people Is the Tihuas
and their city Is called Ysleta. They
claim to have come to their present
home from the Colorado River of tho
West.
This people became mighty In thu
land before the Ian ling of the Span.
iards. They had conquered the Co.
manches and the Apaches were theiI
slaves. The explanation as to why they
gave up so easily to Spanish rule Is In
itself interesting, and is based on an
ancient legend OF the Aztecs, which
decended to the 1ihuas. Cuetzalcoatl
was the Aztec god Of air. His
functions were those OF a priest.
Many OF his teachings, as de.
scribed by the Aztecs, closely
resemble the doctrines Of the Christian
religion. Cuetzalcoatl taught the art
OF working silver. He educated the
Aztecs In agr culture, trained them in
the weaving OF cloth, gave them form
o. worship and inculcated the Idea OF
max ng eacriflc ces only Of flowers. And
when the god had thus finished his work
he called eastward on aft Of snakes,
promising to re urn some time. When
the Span ards landel their cross EN-.
blaz oned banners, their religious Gus.
TO ns and the r manners brought bach
the memory OF the god Of air. The ma.
tives were sure that uetzalcoatl hal
col again. They made haste to well
come. TEey submitted to Spanish
domination until 1t grew tyrannical,
to,tel got In his cruel work before the
m sta o was discovered.
The derivation OF the name Texas
has long been a mystery. Why could
1t not have come from the name OF this
people? In the ancient spelling and
pronunciation *" is interchange ge able
with "hu." With this borne In mind Il
is not difficult to see a close relation
ship between Tihuas, pronounced Te.
waus, and Texas.

moro modern locomotives, some being
raised from the rails and showing the
machinery In operation by compressed
air. Besides these there are O score or
more Of magnificently equipped coach
es and thirty-five freight cars, en-
bracing every variety, by the leading
builders in the country. Among the
other attractions are two Leslie
rotary snow plows, centrifu-
gal snow excavator and a Russell
snow plow, fourteen steam shovels
and locomotive travelling crane, q
light and heat tender Of the Chicago,
Milwaukee and st. Paul Railroad, and
the dynamometer of the Chicago, Bur-
Nngton and Quincy road. All this rep
resents steam transportation as it is
now, but the most fascinating part of the
railway show-more so even than the
mighty engines and the solid mahogany
train from Canada-is the display Of
relics, models, old engines and cars and
specimens OF the quaint roadways of
earlier days. 1t is the first time that
such work has been undertaken, and
Mr.. T. Hackworth of the railway de-
pertinent, has gathered a complete
historical collection. For instance, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has for
more than year past been making ex-
tensive preparations for its historical
exhibit, which includes about thirty
full size wooden models of the earliest
locomotives built in this country and
in England, with samples of original
tracks. Three Of the Grasshopper type
OF engine, the old locomotives Sam
son" and Albion" built in England
and shipped to Nova Scotia in 1888, and
other specimens of the very early To-
comotives are among the attractions.
The models are all to be shown with
machinery in operation. That is one
Of the delightful things about the Sec
tion.
Now comes the Chicago and North
western Railway with the Pioneer,
built In 1885 by the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works, the fourth engine built by
that firm. The Pioneer came to Chi
oago in 1848 and was the first locomo-
tive to penetrate so far West. This
engine ran on the old Galena Road,
now q portion Of the Chicago and
Northwestern system, and it actually
steamed into the Exposition grounds a
few weeks ago. A little further on the
Old Colony Railroad exhibit their first
engine, the Daniel Nason," and the
first coach that ran between Boston
and Providence, and these, by way of

Here the New York Central Company
shows the original de Witt Clinton

Illinois Central Company shows the
Mississippi, built in England in 1888
for the Natchez and Mississippi, now a
portion of the Illinois Central Railroad.
The Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.
Louis exhibit the historic engine,
General, captured by the Andrews
raiders on the Western and Atlantic
Railroad in 1852.
The Marine Exhibit.
In no previous marine exhibit has
the question of transportation on water
ever been treated as a subject, but in
this department Is shown not only the
triumphs of naval architecture, as IL
lustrated by the modern ocean grey
hound and battle ship, but also strange
and curious craft from semi-civilized
and barbarous tribes, showing how
they solved problems of transportation
by taking advantage of the materials
on hand, whether of bark or logs of
wood or skins OF animals. There is a
complete exhibit from Alaska and the
Aleutian Islands, consisting of two
hatch bydarka, with complete hunting
outfits, and from the sea coast of Nor
ton Sound a hatch bydarka, with the
full outfit used in both hunting and
fishing: birch bark canoes from the
Upper Yukon River; sleds, dogs har-
ness and all that goes with them. The
Hudson Bay country shows all the
methods of water transportation known
in that country. From Southwest
Alaska or Queen Charlotte's Island are
tingit canoe and large dugout
and haida canoe. From Aus
tralia comes an interesting canoe
made from u single sheet Of what is
commonly known as the gum-topped
iron bark or mountain ash Eucalyptus
Sieberianal, the ends being tied up.
China is represented by models of every
boat used on Chinese waters, both sea
coast and inland. These boats, although
the architecture seems to be grotesque,
have many peculiar points, such as the
movable rudder and the fashion Of at
taching the sheet to the sail, making it
possible to draw the surface very flat.
A catamaran is shown that has carried
the mail between Ceylon for number
of years, as well as one Of the cele-
brated outrigger canoes. Mediterra-
mean craft are represented by the Turk
ish caique; daigsa, Of Malta; gondolas, OF
Venice, and peculiar lateen boats, as
well as the chizzoto and the bragozzio

TOO Many Dogs.

The Savannah News says that the

ing States are up in arms against
sheep-killing dogs, and are clamoring
for some efficient legislation on the
subject. There is no doubt" it says,
that plague of worthless dogs exists
all over the South, to the detriment
of everybody, even their owners. But
how are they to be got rid of? Nine
men in ten who own dogs, no matter
how worthless, will fight for them, and
there have been numbers of tragedies
brought about through the kicking or
shooting of a dog too mean and worth.
less to let live. The plan of taxing
worthless dogs out of existence has
been tried in the South and found
wanting. The people who own dogs
will not endure such tax. They
guard their right to own dogs as jeal-
ously as tine right to own horses and
lard, and the candidate for the Legis-
lature who would let it be known that
he was an enemy of hounds would
hardly secure an election. Then how
are they to be reached? The man who
solves the problem satisfactorily will
be benefactor to the South For
there are in Virginia, the Carolinas,
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and
Mississippi thousands of acres of
pasture lands that could, and would,
be devoted to sheep raising, if the
dogs were removed. Until they are
put out of the way the wool industry

Welding by Electricity.

Two Belgians have discovered a
m. Shod of welding by electricity which
will be of immense use in the arts.
Electricity forced into water separates
it into its component parts, hydogen
and oxygen. A glass jar with leaden
lining is connected with a conductor
of positive electricity. A pair OF
tongues connected with a negative
pole and having insulated handles is
used to take up bar of iron,
for instance, and put the end in water.
The oxygen is forced to the leaden
Inning while the hydrogen collects
about the submerged metal, which
quickly produces an intense heat. The
hydrogen, being poor conductor,
offers intense resistance to the cur
rent, and this generates the heat. 1t
is shown the most refractors ores can
be fused by this process, and as it is
possible to produce in this way large
crystals of carbon, diamonds, rubbies,
and sapphires may be made by the
process in any quantity desired
