lnaW Hen Eleeps,

People often wonder why q hen
does not fall off her perch when she
goes to sleep. The fact is she cannot.
AS long as a hen is standing up OF
walking about the tendOns of her toes
are relaxed, but by a very curious ar.
rangcmcnt, a natural mechanical grip,
the moment she sits down on her
perch the act of bending the knee
joint tightens the toe sinews and they
are drawn taut, thus clasping the foot
around the perch with a viselike
clutch. She can only loosen 1t by ris'
ing, and that Is the reason why . her

THE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE,

A writer in the Railway Age
says. The field of the electric loco
motive is now gradually being de6n-
ed. It's future utility in the oper-
alton of cross country railways in
place of steam is problematical, and
at present is out of the question.
There are, however, many condi-
tions in which its use will probably
effect a considerable economy. The
Canadian Pacific road has for some
time been investigating the FEAST
bility of operating one section Of it's
road over the mountains by means
of electricity, using the numerous
streams as a source of power, and
as soon as this part Of the question
ton has been settled it is under
stood that the change will be made.
1t is noted also thatsthe Metropoli-
tan and Northwestern elevated
roads in Chicago have decided upon
the adoption of electricity for the
motive power.
An English exchange reports that
the Paris-Lyons railway company in
France has followed the lead of the
Paris-Havre company and initiated
the use of electric locomotives, and
is running its express trains from
Lyons to Nice by electricity. The
Heilman locomotive, though gener-
ally catalogued as an engineering
monstrosity, has nevertheless made
some good records upon the Paris
Havre line.
1t is now generally conceded that
the chief uses of the electric fluid
as a motive power are in the pres
ent stage Of development Of electri-
cal science limited to certain special
fields, such as are typified by the in
stances above noted. Upon short
lines or in locations where other in
fuences than direct economy have
weight, or in places where power
now going to waste may be utilized,
as in the case of the Canadian Pa
cifc's mountain division, the elec.
trio motor has, earned recognition,
Upon long lines steam will continue
to hold its own until methods Of
transmission of power by the cleo
trio current are materially improv'
| ed.
