INVENTOR WESTINGHOUSE.
Why Mckee Rankin Regrets that He
Did Not Put Up Money for Him.

Boston Evening Transcript.
A number OF years ago a PENNSYLVANIA
inventor wanted TO sell Mr.. Mckee Rankin
the actor, large interest In a patent air
brake for railways for a small sum. The
actor did not feel like investing, even on the
solemn assurance of the confident inventor
that the apparatus was greatly needed but
he has always wished he had advanced the
sum desired, for the young inventor was
George Westinghouse, and the air-brake has
proved one of the most important and valu-
able inventions Of the century. Westng-
house is like Edison i'm his capacity for hard
work After a day spent in directing the
great commercial organizations OF which
he Is the head, he goes TO his laboratory
and private shop 10 conduct the experi-
ments which Ii Is his delight TO carry on
To such a man the invention OF the air
brake was merely a stop in career OF
fertile planning and investigating. When his
brake was we'll started on the high road 10
SUCCESS. he turned TO the steam engine and
brought out practically new type in that
field.
BY the time this engine was placed on the
market, electricity was attracting the at
tention of inventive minds throughout the
country. Westinghouse viewed the situa-
tion and decided that the then common use
cof low-tension, continuous currents, while.
lgood fer incandescent lighting and power
purposes on circuits of limited extent, was
unsatisfactory for longer circuits. He looked
forward into the future of electrical distri-
button Of power and saw that high-tension.
alternating currents would prove the most
important in few years. So he bought up
the leading foreign and domestic patents

LITTLE TRADING DONE
CHICAGO SPECTATORS WE'RE AT
SEA FOR LACK OF NEWS.
Fluctuations Were Narrow and Wheat
Closed Slightly Lower-Provfsfons
Weak and on mt the Close.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26-There was hardly any
business on the board to-day. as the wires
were all down and there was nothing in
the way of news to base operations on.
There was not wire working in any direc-
tion at the opening of business, and it was
an hour or two before any communication
was established with the outside world.
Then the Kansas City wire got in shape
and Milwaukee and st. Louis followed, but
these brought little of Importance in the
way of news. Up to noon nothing had been
heard from the seaboard, and the trade was
in ignorance as to the condition of foreign
markets and Of shipments abroad, in which
so much interest centered yesterday. There
was an unofficial report yesterday that the
shipments had been 100000 bushels. but the
trade was hoping to have this enormous
amount reduced by the official report to-day.
In the absence of advices, whatever trade
there was was conducted without any ref
erence to- current news and wholly on the
individual opinions of the traders. May
kept narrow all day and sold at e1G5l4c
and December at 5644Q57c. During the last
hour the market had a little squirt on the
ed better cables and NAY sold St to edA@ ed
weak and fell to 6Qzsu6lc for May and $3.50
SIC for December. May closed at 607sc.
corn was inactive anu IeatureleSS, the
trade being hampered by the same reasons
which kept wheat inactive. The few early
transactions in May were at 29isc and $3.50
29Ac. There was nothing of Importance in
the, way of news. During the closing hour
Man held at 29s@29Ac split: November sold
at H5sc early, but fell off TO 27ssc.
Oats were held very steady and with
hardly any business. May sold at 201sc,
and 201aQassc split, and closed at 201zc.
Hog products were slow. May pork sold
at $9.37lkd9. 40; May lard at 5.75Q5.i719c, and
May ribs at 4771au4S0c, early. The market
was weaker during the last hour, and May

1t is pretty we'll acknowledged that women
are as witty and clever in conversation
when they get started as men. 1t is wom-
an who says that If men quote a womans
wit they usually credit it to some man, as
in the instance of bright New York wom-
ans off-hand definition of a ladies' luncheon
as ''giggle. gable. gobble." This has al
ways been given to Dr. Holmes, adding
never do it, when gabbi4ng together. Dr.
Holmes once wrote most charming letter
avowing his utter ignorance of the author
ship of this epigram-an AUTOGRAPH letter.
But still the little lie rushes over the globe
lady says she can always tell when she
has taken too much wine at dinner; her
husbands jokes begin to seem funny. And
when another woman was told that her
pocket was sticking out OF her placquet in
an absurd way, she cried: For PHYS sake
let II stay. It's such a mercy to know where

said that Emerson quoted, without giving

at pictures and precious bric-a-brac, idly
humming-"Do you play also?" Most OF the

Lately readers OF the Patent Office Ga
zette have noticed that Westinghouse hns
gone into new field. for a number or
patents on gas engines have been given
10 his superintendent. Alfred Schmidt
These indicated that the mechanical
world would soon learn of a new prime
motor. and engineers have been waiting
expectantiy for an account of the ap-
paratus and wondering IL Il would be as
gine. While nothing definite has been
said yet by Westinghouse concerning the
gas engine itself. he made a remarkable
address to the directors and officers OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
when they visited him short time ago.
He is a man who never employs his
hat in conversation. and for that reason
what he said is worth considerable at
tention. IN the first place he pointed out
that the Pennsylvania railroad uses
about 100000 tons OF coal annually. Gas
teed to consume not more than three
quarters OF pound OF coal per horse
power per hour when the gas Is OBJ
tained by gas producers. such are
used IN iron and steel mills. 4 locomo-
tive requires about eight times as much
coal. Consequently. with all the
losses incident TO tho generation and dis
tributi0n OF power by electricity. he be-
lieved that several million dollars a year
could be saved by running trains the
Pennsylvania road by electricity. A
strong argument against operating stand
ard railways electrically has been the
enormous cost OF the new apparatus nee
essary for the purpose, but a saving OF
several million dollars year viii war
rant the expenditure OF a large sum for q
plant
To operate a standard road by cleo
tricity, IL is proposed 10 locate stations
with electric generating machinery. gas
engines and gas producers at intervals or
ten to twenty miles, that there would
always be two or three stations furnishing
current for any particular part of the
line. The electric locomotive for healing
such trains would be entirely different from
ated by one man. The electric current
could be used for lighting the track, for
operating the machinery in all the shops,
for pumping water, for handling freight
in the numerous stations along the line
and for lighting and heating trains. Shere
the railways branch out into yards IL is
proposed to use the electromagnetic trac-
operation of switch-engines and for other
purposes. In this system the electric cur
rent is only active in contact pieces imme-
dately under tie electric locomotive. so
that danger TO trackmen is guarded against
carefully.

sandow,s Che.t Expan.ion.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the interesting newspaper descriptions
of the marvellous physical makeup and per-
formances of Sandow, 1.-The monarch Of
MUSCLE" who has just finished an engage
ment here, appears an erroneous statement
regarding his chest expansion, which de-
serves correction, viz: Probably the most
wonderful thing about Sandow is his chest
expansion. which is IA inches, greater than
that of any other man known"
There are two men who surpass Sandow
in this particular, and of them has
twice performed in this city. This one is
James Wilson. "the expansionist, or human
balloon whose stage act includes an ex-
pansion of 10 inches, and whose record is
IL inches, or from 36iz to 5Sls inches. His
performances have been repeatedly tested
by physicians and experts. notably at Chi
cago by those keen hospital clincians, Drs.
Steele and McWilliams, DR.. Whitbeck, at
the Rochester Hospital, and DR.. w. A.
Ford, police surgeon, Brooklyn, n. Y. Tie
latter also wrote an interesting account of
it all for the New York Evening sun, and
w. j. Rouse. of that paper, wrote up VIII
son and his life.
The other man who has a greater expan-
sion than Sandow (and each man is smaller
than Sandow) is Romulus, the strong man
who performed in Chicago last winter and
challenged Sandow in feats of strength.
He gave private exhibition to medical and
newspaper representatives in the Audi
torium clubroom entresol last February,
and one of the feats performed was the
chest expansiol of 15ia inches, from Sc TO
511s.
pansions are not the true article rs indi-
eating actual lung capacity, but are of the
nature of trick, depending largely Upon
the ability to draw the stomach and rtes-
tines up into the territory inciosed by the
lower ribs. This is especially noticeable in
the case of Sandow, who expands quickly,
almost instantly, and far less so with VIII
son, who expands very slowly, until he
more closely resembles pouter pigeon In
appearance. Romulus / have reJe- seen.
An interesting and pertinent point may
be mentioned here, and one very rarely
taken note OF even by professional exam
inerS of the lungs, viz, that the extreme
reduction of the chest measurement Is
than real lung action. and in the expansion
that follows no drawing up of abdominal
organs should be allowed. In the expert
measurements more Importance should be
attached to the actual chest expansion
which slowly occurs in excess of the point
reached in ordinary breathing. When this
supreme test is applied few will he :.ble to
show many inches. The true test of lung
measurement by cubic inches of the air
blown into a suitable registering receiver.
The lesson to be learned from these spler-
did teachers certainly is that oil should
practice deeper breathing, as by filling the
lungs their power is increased, the chest
made larger and deeper by thus exercising
otherwise unused muscles, and, chief CT all,
the whole body is thereby provided with
purer blood, and in greater volume. Es-
pecially should the sick and feeble 10 this

CHICAGO Nov 26-The widely extended
big snow storm delayed stock trains on all
the railroads and during the morning cat
tie business was almost at a standstill A
few cattle remained over from yesterday
and a few trains kept arriving on the vari-
Gus roads, so that eager buyers succeeded
in making limited purchases at somewhat
higher prices than were paid on Monday
AS the railroads were not taking any
cattle hogs or sheep for shipment, shippers
were out of the market and the buying was
left TO city slaugnterers. Prices were SC
higher, and hogs that would not sell above
s369 yesterday sold readily at 1856. Very
few sold below $3.50 or as high as 1910.
most of the sales being at $s50Q3.65. Toward
noon trains began to arrive more freely,
and the advance was checked.

Trade in provisions spartook of the same
general character as that in the other mar
