Electric Omnibus.

For several years electric omnibuses
have been in service on London streets,
but after much experimenting they
have just reached type of perfection,
and the one shown in the cut will
soon be running in London. The
electrical omnibus made its first trip
through the streets of London in the
summer of 1888, and attracted consid :
.rable attention.
One of the early runs was over a
distance of nearly four miles, taking
thirty-Tive minutes, and the experience
which was gained in its working DEM
onstrated that the knowledge neces-
sary for driving it could be picked up
by an ordinary cab or omnibus driver
in a few days, no greater skill being
required to handle such vehicle with
precision and safety than was neces-
sary in the case of horse bus or cab
Each car could easily make six four
teen. mile trips per day, or a total OF
5SS miles per week per car, giving a
total of Ia, 700 miles of service per
week.

The dealer in hardwood who tender
ly handles his stock of mahogany with
kid gloves for fear of losing a spin ter
now and then, will undoubtedly be
shocked, says the Mississippi Valley
Lum herman, to hear that mahogany
is being used by the Paris municipal
council for roadways This sounds
almost like a dream of oriental mag
niticence, yet it is true. A portion of
the Rue Lafayette has been pulled up
and workmen are laying down blocks
of real Brazilian mahogany of a fine
texture and color 1t is, however, an
experiment, as mahogany is dearer
than other woods usually used for this
purpose, but it is expected that the
extra outlay will be more than com
pensated for by the greater durabi lily
of the nah ogany.

While Martin Larson was digging a
cellar on his farm near Earles, Yates
county, n. Y, the other day, he
claims to have unearthed the skeleton
of a man who must have been nearly
seven feet high. Further digging
showed that Larson had invaded an
Indian emetery, unearthing a mine

This story is told at the expense OF
the empress of Austria, in connection
with royal photographs. Permission
to be granted sitting by her majesty
was always refused, till one up-to-
date photographer issued to the trade
counterfeit presentment, which was
so unlike as to be almost caricature.
The royal vanity was touched, and
thenceforth appeared more pleasing
and much more truthful portraits OF
the empress.

Slaves to the Big Bow.

We are becoming slaves to the big
bow. 1t has been encroaching more
and more during the past few weeks
and it's power is really becoming
alarming, says a London paper. 1t
will not be able to hang round our
neclxs much longer, for it prevents us
from turning our heads, and this alone,
apart Aom any other consideration,
would be fatal to it's continued popu-
larity. But it is taking possession of
the backs of our heads, it is fasten-
ing upon us like vampire; we are
gradually being eclipsed by it, and
from the rear we have entirely lost our
identity and become even as monster
bats.

siIvester's Remedy Against Dampness.

The process consists in using two
washed or solutions for covering the
surface of the walls-one composed of
CASTLE soap and water and one of alum
and water. The proportions are three
quarters of pound of soap to one
gallon of water and half a pound of
alum to four gallons of water, both
substances to be perfectly dissolved in
water before being used. The walls
should be perfectly clean and dry and
the temperature of the air not above
so degrees Fab. when the compositions
are applied. The first or soap, wash
should be laid on when boiling hot,
with a fat brush, taking care to form
a froth on the brickwork. This wash
should remain twenty four hours, so
as to become dry and hard before the
second, or alum, wash is applied, which
should be done in the same manner as
the first. The temperature of this
wash, when applied, may be 60 or 70
degrees Fab, and this also should re-
main twenty -four hours before a Sec
ond coat of this soap wash is put on.
These coats are to be applied alter
nately until the walls are made i'm
pervious to water. The alum and soap
thus combined form an insoluble com
pound, says Architect and Building,
filling the pores of the masonry and
entirely preventing the water from
entering the wall

New Atlantic Cable.

A new telegraph cable is now being
laid from Waterville, Ireland, to Nova
Scotia. The entire cable will be about
1000 miles long. The Faraday, not
being large enough to carry the whole
cable, will drop the shore sections,
about 500 miles, first, and then lay the
deep sea cable, which is smaller than
the shore ends The cable is guaran-
teed to afford 33% per cent improve
ment in speed over the other cables in
use by the Commercial company. This
will insure transmission at the rate of
thirty words per minute. The cable
is much larger than any ocean cable
hitherto made. The Nova Scotia end
has been provided with additional
protecting armor to prevent its being
broken by the anchors of fishing YES

AwETO.-The most curious of all OBJ
jects in New Zealand is that which the
Maoris call ''aweto." One is uncertain
whether to call it an animal or plant.
In the first stages of its existence it is
simply caterpillar about three or
four inches in length, and always
found in connection with the rata tree,
a kind of towering myrtle. 1t appears
that when it reaches full growth it
buries itself two or three inches under
gro1 nd, where. instead of undergoing
the ordinary chrysalis process, it be-
comes gradually transformed into a
plant, which exactly fills the body and
shoots up at the neck to the height of
eight or ten inches. This plant re-
sembles in appearance a diminutive
bulrush, and the two, animal and
plant, are always found inseparable.

servations and figures relating to this
subject. He states that sixteen miles
of thirty inch wooden conduit were
constructed in that work, in addition
to considerable length of forty -four
inch pipe. The timber used was Cali
fornia redwood, and the thirty inch
conduit was cons tructed to stand un-
der a head of 1856 feet. We understand
from the paper named that the total
average cost of the thirty inch pipe
about 4s cents constituted the cost
of trenching and back filling
A gang of eight to sixteen
men laid from $50 to 300 feet of the
same size conduit per day. These
mains were composed of slaves dressed
very smooth to cylindrical sides and
radial edges, and were held to the
cylindrical form by mild steel bands
placed at distance apart depending
upon the head but never exceeding
seventeen inches The pores of the
wood are filed with the water under
the pressure, so that it oozes through
to slight extent, thus realizing the
condition for permanent preservation.
The pipe is framed in the trench, and
all handling in full-sized section is
avoided; at the same time the interior
finish is so smooth that the advantage
Gus conditions of flow are secured. Mr.
Schuyler estimates that the use of
these wooden conduits effect saving
of over $1,000, 900 in this particular

have noticed with much interest
the efforts of your progressive jour
nal to awaken in the minds of the
great mass of people the necessity for
good roads. The season is rapidly
approaching when the work en- these
roads can be done to the best advan-
tage. | am heartily in sympathy
with any movement that would bring
about this much desired result and
care very little how it is done, provi-
ded it is done soon and with business
like economy. am anxious to see Il
few good roads built in the country,
ana care not whether they are plank,
macadam, or even graded dirt roads.
There seems to be an impression in
the minds of many farmers that good
roads are luxury, and, consequently,
are not to be thought of in times of
depression. If the people would pay
less attention to politics and more to
good roads, the country would soon
feel the results.
would suggest plan something
on the plan tried in New Jersey, to-
wit; That tue adjacent property be as
sessed 10 per cent of the cost of the
road; that the state pay 50 percent of
the same, and that the county pay 60
per cent. To make these payments
easy, | would suggest that the pay
ment demanded of the property holder
should be paid in two or three annu-
al installments, and that the county
issue bonds for its share of the work,
to run 20 or 30 years. In that way
the burden would be distributed over
period of years, and be paid by the
people receiving the greatest amount
of benefit from the same. 1t is not
right that the burden shonld fall upon
the present generation. 20 RECON Cor

to buy suit of clothes and other
eastern products once IN while. They
realize that it will keep the factories
running at full blast to supply the
western demand, which will insure
them a steadier, Job and better wages,
because then their labor will be in
demand by the manufactures. The
latter will have orders to fill and he
will need them, and their poor en-
ployer will not then be depriving him
self and straining every means at his
command to keep his machinery going

realize that the fear of high priced

of money That it is but the fear of

purchase more of commodities at the

not be sung much longer to eastern

Two years ago the managers of the
daily papers of Denver rushed into a
foolish and senseless war for bust
ness, which ended in cutting the sub
scription rates of all the papers to so
low figure rs to absolutely cause a
heavy loss to all of them. 1t is i'm
possible to publish live, aggressive
daily paper seven days in a week and
furnish it to subscribers at fifty and
sixty cents per month unless a circu-
lation of from sixty to seventy five
thousand copies can be secured. Such
a circulation for the Denver daiies is
impossible until the population of the
city and the state shall reach double
what it is now. All newspaper men
knew the heavy losses would, in time,
drive the owners of the four papers
to act rs business men should, and put
their properties on a paying basis.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been sunk in this war. The new
rates established are about % per cent
lower than those that prevailed before
the cut, and but small percentage
above those prevailing, yet enough
to save all from actual loss. There
is nothing that will make business
men stop a ruinous fight so much as
the approach of financial disaster
The rates by mail adopted by the
three papers are as follows: News
and republican, 81 80 per year; SO. IS
for six months; Sl90 for three
