:, Discouraged, but not disheartened,
Westinghouse left, only later to bring
his great invention to the knowledge OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad authorities.
At that time Tom Scott was the Presi-
dent of the corporation, and he at once
saw the practicability of the Invention
and allowed some OF his cars to be
equipped with It, With that opening 1t
was easy enough to get other roads to
use the brake, and Westinghouse's fame
and fortune were made. When that
time had arrived he one day received a
letter from Commodore Vanderbilt, ask

General Logan and the Guide.

Mrs. Tucker, daughter of the late General Logan. tells an amusing story of her fathers experience which he greatly enjoyed relating about himself. It was some years before his death, during the most active period of his senatorial career. Taking advantage of a recess following an exciting debate, he strolled leisurely through the halls and corridors outside the senate cham Der. One of the newly licensed guides, mistaking him for a stranger in the city, approached and proffered his ser vices to show him about the building. To the flow of eloquence poured forth by the guide General Logan paid not the slightest attention, completely ig- noring his presence. This, however, so far from deterring the fellow from fur ther effort. seemed to spur him on to renewed effort. Following his victim until the rotunda was reached, they passed group of veteran guides, who, taking in the situation at glance, one of the boldest called out, You blamed fool, what are you wasting your time for on that old Indian? Don't you know that he has been at work here for more than twenty years?"-Washing- ton Post.

Maxim has laid down track of light
 railway, and standing about two feet above it is an inverted track of strong
 timber. From each side of the ma chine there project two arms. carrying
 Hanged wheels. which press against
 the lower side Of the timber track whenever the machine rises more than
 an inch or two from the rails. and so
 prevent 1t from soaring into the air. On the occasion Of recent test, as
 is plainly shown by the marks on tho timber. the machine almost directly af-
 ter starting rose from the metal rails and sailed along for some hundreds of feet, held down by the outside check rail. IL would doubtless have gone the whole length of the railway but for m unfortunate accident. Mir. Maxim, cal cuiating that the main stress would fall on the forward pair Of projecting arms, had made the pair behind some what too weak. SO that they bent under the strain they had to bear In this way the back of the machine was lib- erated from the control Of the check rail. and naturally began to sway vio- lently. The front wheel on the left hand side In consequence jumped the rail. and the only remaining guide wheel ploughed Into the timber. It was then soaring at considerable an- gle when 1t was brought to stand still. considerably damaged. on the turf by Mir. Maxim's shutting off steam.
 The machine from which this strik- t,a ha ohf Ira Al la vel of engineering ingenuity. With It's four side sails and 'aeroplanes' set 1t is over one hundred fee: wide, and 1t is described as looking like a huge white bird with four wings instead of two. It Is propelled by two large two-bladed screws resembling the screw propel- lers of ship driven by two compound engines, which are, In proportion to their weight the most powerful that have ever been made. They can devel- op one horsepower for every two pounds of their weight. The boiler Is of novel design, and consists of very many tiny tubes. through which there Is a forced circulation of water. It Is so efficient that the pressure can be raised from two hundred pounds per square inch to three hundred in about a minute. and Is more than capable of supplying steam to the engines even when they are making five hundred revolutions a minute.
 In this successful trial MT. Maxim started with a pressure of three hun dred and ten pounds. which had risen to three hundred and twenty when he had traversed some five hundred yards. The fuel used was gasoline. The total weight of the machine was about eight thousand pounds. while the engines were giving lifting power of about ten thousand. There was, therefore, surplus fiotatory power of some two thousand pounds. or, in other words. the machine could have flown with something near that amount of extra weight above what is usually carried.

part of her costume, 1t should be in ferred, please, not that she has gone crazy, but that she drives in her own private carriage. There is, of course, very little danger that the more hum ble sisters will take up this freakish fad and thus render it common and ab- horred by the others, but even if they did, the swagger one would then, prob ably, take to carrying them of eve- nings and on sleiging parties. So wealth is pretty sure to come out ahead, though the race Is ever & stern one.
 An unusual garniture that is neither outlandish, lacking in reason nor inn possible to slender purse is shown in this sketch, and consists of bands of black passementerie that run down the front and sides of the skirt and end in ornaments just above the hem. The same trimming also outlines a girdle above which there are ornaments simil- ar to those on the skirt. The dress ma terial is a grayish blue cloth, 1t is cut princess and fastens in back with small cloth buttons. The bodice is pleated at the waist and the sleeves are trimmed to match, the cuffs being gathered on the inside seam.

 IL may be urged that the Indian is devoid Of sentiment. Let me see Seems as If 1 remember reading Of some Indians who, when one Of their friends died. went around to his credi- tors and proceeded to wipe out his debts 80 that he might enjoy his sport in the happy hunting ground undis- turbed by the jabs of bad conscience. Quite pretty bit of sentiment. but en- tirely too practical. The better idea would be different and his creditors well. they can go about anywhere they please.
 Of course the more advanced idea is the best. That's one thing that ai- ways urged against the Indian-his simplicity. Then again his love affairs and marriage are entirely devoid Of ro- nance. There are no misunderstand- ings, no misconstructed motives. no lily directed Ideals of self-sacrlnce. If the Indian lady wants these pleasant lit- tie diversions she must supply them herself. Everything Is so plain and simple and above-board. The Indian gentleman's love comes quick and in a business like way. He never reasons it. He walks down 10 the home of his lady love. takes her by the hand and leads her out before his fellow bucks and says, ''Umpgh. My wife, see" Of course he's away behind the times here. We'll take all the flxin's and well-yes, you can throw in some or ange blossoms. But considered in the light of the recent decision of the Mas sachusetts courts. we may hesitate minute before we say the Indian didn't know his business.
 When I hear twenty-five thousand people yelling and bowling, and gene rally rejuvenating and unloosening the savage within them, the savage that has been confined and compressed from childhood with the accumulated right of century upon century of civilization, feel little hope, little comfort. And then when some fellow gets In the way and everybody rises up and hol- lers "Brutalr' I sink again. Well, what if it Is brutal? Will you tell me of any part of a mans nature that is of any use that hasn't a little of the brute in 1t? Take 1t for what it's worth. When a gentleman comes out of his house in the morning and kicks the bull pup over the barn and punts the old setting hen for the twenty-five yard line up in the northwest, moving just from the pure and spontaneous overflow of his animal spirits, you can make up your mind that he is pretty good fellow and will make you a good friend if you get acquainted with him and use him right, and you will find him capable of shedding good genuine salty tears when occasion demands.

FRAOD DIN THE LAPSE PLAN.

Many people in Connecticut and other States have come to the same conclu- sion reached by a Pennsylvania judge, who has decided that there is fraud In any cooperative investment scheme which depends for It's success on lapses The decision grew out of proceedings against a concern which issued cer- tihcates calling for small monthly pay ments. the holders of which were prom lsed enormous returns under certain conditions. The main condition was, First come first served" That is, cer- tincates were redeemed in the order of their issue, holder receiving say sl,000 after making a few payments of $2.25 per month. provided his certificate bore a number low enough to entitle 1t 10 early maturity. If 1t bore a high num- Der he would have to wait long time, with the chances that he would become disgusted and refuse to pay further as- sessments. In that case his member ship would lapse and all his contribu- tions would be forfeited for the benefit of persistipg members. Meanwhile new recruits would have to be gathered in constantly, a majority of whom must lapse in order that the plan might suc- ceed. This was the foundation plan of the Iron Hall and various other "assess- ment endowment" orders that recently collapsed and left helpless victims all over the country. The Philadelphia Press says: The endowment orders, both Hong term" and quick matur- ing" rest on this principle. They were certain to collapse the instant new sub- scriptions stopped, and as exposure would stop them, and final exposure was certain, loss some time was also inevitable. In April, 1893, forty of these term" endowment assessment com panies had gone into the hands of re- ceivers, and sixteen more admitted to Massachusetts have since collapsed. Eighteen months ago ten of these con- panies doing business were pledged to pay $7,276,9 900, and they had only $221, ,9O5 in their endowment fund to pay it with.
 How the people did snap at the golden bait offered by these orders. And what pity it is that the Lapse plan" couldn't have been seen to be a fraud before so many thousands had to see the fraud ful character of it.
