The great speed will not result, he
says, in the generation OF neat IN
either car or the bearings OF the
wheels. Engine 900 Of the New York
Central Railway recently ran 100
miles an hour and the journals,
though carrying the fifty tons weight
of the ponderous machine, did not
become overheated. The extremely
small burdens on the aerial electric
road would lessen immeasuraoly the
chances of heat by friction. Metal
for journal bearings is tempered SO
that it will stand minimum of
$500 revolutions a minute, whereas
the speed of 500 miles an hour by the
aerial electric car would require less
than 5000 revolutions per minute OF
it's 2-feet-6-inch driving wheels. The
point Of contact between the wheels
and rails being changed with ra-
pidity almost inconceivable, there
would be no danger Of heat by fric-
ton. A cannon ball travels with an
initial velocity Of 1,7OO to 1000 feet
per second, or about l, 200 miles an
hour, and does not heat, and so there
can be no possibility of the electric
car becoming heated at a speed OF
only 500 miles an hour.
In fact, Mr.. Widdis thinks he has
overcome the obstacles and impedi-
ments to the transportation Of loads
of 10000 pounds or less at speed of
500 miles an hour. Should the
freight-carrying project succeed, as he
feels certain it will, Mr.. Widdis will
proceed at once to devise car in
which passengers may be carried safe
ly at the same tremendous speed
Then man can live in Chicago and
go to business daily in New York-or
vice versa

MILLIONAIREs have no business
fooling around with steamboats,, be-
cause when they do they always get
into trouble. Capt. James Davidson,
of Bay City, is the latest illustration
of the truth of this statement. Capt.
Davidson was a hardy and fearless
mariner in liS youth, but the acqui-
sition of wealth blunted his nautical
perceptions, and when he undertook
to steer one Of his own tugboats out
of Racine harbor he landed her high
and dry on a reef, to his great vexa-
ton and discontinue. The result is
inyariable. Some years ago James
Gordon Bennett, Of the New York
Herald, was fred with a like ambi
ton in the harbor of Cherbourg,
where naval review was going on.
He took the wheel of his yacht Ma
mouna, and in fifteen minutes the
navies of all nations were pulling up
anchors, shivering their timbers and
resorting to all known maritime eX-
pcdientS to get out Of the way of an
unarmed American journalist. 1t
was a pleasing sight to patriotic
citizen Of the United States, but it
demonstrated the fact pointed out in
the beginning that the possession of
wealth does not necessarily consti-
tute good steersman.

WHEN la grippe became epidemic
in this country three years ago there
were many medical men and others
who wrote learnedly about the dis
ease as one that had never before
been known in this country. They
traced it to Russia, and went to Rus
sian and French authorities for rene
dies, where they did not make entire
~ new discoveries for themselves.
But here again was illustrated the
force Of Napoleon's observation that
nothing is new but what has been
forgotten. In an old copy of the
Salem Mass Observer, printed June
"A, 1S43, or just fifty years ago, is to
be found this paragraph: THE in
tluenza or la grippe is getting to be

BEES and birds court the society of
man-that is, they seek the localities
where fields and gardens abound, for
they fare better when human indus
try EFFORTS from the soil the products
upon which they suhsist. A Maine
bee culturist says it is the rarest
thing in the world to find bees away
from the settlements or from open
ings where flowers grow. 1t is in the
small patches Of forests they are
oftenest found and generally not far
from the edge of the woods. 1t is
the same with birds. There are no

wilderness and scarcely any bird life 4.

IT may not be generally known
that Paris is the great postage-stamp
market of the world, and that there
are more men there who gloat over a
black Bermuda, or go into ecstasies
over yellow something else, than in
any other capital. There is regu-
lar Bourse held every Thursday and
Sunday in a corner of the Champs
Elysees, where hundreds of men,
women and boys congregate with
their postage-stamp albums and
packages of stamps for sale and ex-
change. There is almost as big a
gable of tongues going on there as
