Training LocomotIves.

1t may not be generally known that
locomotives intended for express trains
require as much training, in their way,
for fast running as do race horses.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
builds its own engines, and those built
for express trains are known as Glass
p, says the Philadelphia Record. They
are very large, and built with slight
variations, after the pattern of the big
English engine imported into this coun-
try several years ago, and which at
that time was curiosity in its way.
When one of these big engines Is taken
out Of the shops to be placed on the
road, instead of putting it to the work
it Is intended for at once, it is run for
two or three weeks on some one Of the
local branches, in order to train it, so
to speak, for fast running. By this
means all the bearings and journals
connected with the running gear be-
come settled to their work, for, should
anything about the new machine not
work tremendously, there is ample time
to adjust the defect. Usually the new
engine proves troublesome on account
of its propensity to make fast time,
and at almost every station the train
is found to be a little ahead of sched-
ule time and must wait for from ten
seconds to minute. No. 1870, of Glass
P, was running yesterday on the Tren-
ton accommodation train, but will soon
be flying over the road from Broad
street to New York and return at the
rate, in many places, of mile a min
ute.

THE RIPENINo OF THE VINE.

Tho Swiss Method of Treating tho
Liquid Through Its Preparation for Sale
The wine in Switzerland is left in the
casks till the following spring, and 1t Is
here that fermentation takes place and
the mout Is converted into wine. The
change begins almost Immediately; the
liquid becomes turbld, carbonic acid
gas Is evolved, scum Is thrown up on
the surface and the temperature rises.
A climax Is reached the intensity Of
the fermentation dlminishes, subsidies,
the scum settles as Shiny deposit at
the bottom Of the Cask and a clear vel.
low liquid Is left above. The grape
sugar has almost entirely disappeared,
corresponding amount Of alcohol has
taken its place and the sweet taste OF
the mout has given place to the charac-
teristic vinous flavor Of the wine. In
the early stages of fermentation enor-
nous quantities OF carbonic acid gas
are given off, and huge fires are made
in the cellars to drive 1t away, But at
the time write Of October, 1899 when
the vintage was the finest of the cen
fury, when barrels to hold the mout
could not be purchased for love or
money, when every cellar on the lake,
from Geneva to Villeneuve, was packed
with casks Of mout, so great was the
amount of carbonic acid gas in the air
that in spite Of every precaution, sew
eral deaths from suffocation took place
among the workers. In the spring the
wine is drawn off clear into other bar
rels, then bottled. Vim ordinaire is not
bottled at all, but simply drawn from
the wood. This is the wine sold at all
the little winshops, with which Swift
zerland abounds. 1t Is drawn off into
quaint little glass decanters, contain
ing half liter each, and so served to
the unhurrying Swiss, who drink it
round little tables under the trees on
the sunny pathways or over wooden
benches inside the red-curtalned wine
shops.

There is an excellent use found for
Stag, that troublesome material that
was for such long time an incubus
that nobody could get rid of or turn to
account. Finally Is was worked up into
paint and pavements, and now Stag
bricks are coming into favor. They are
used for building chimneys and are
about half the weight of bricks Of the
same size. A specially prepared cement
is necessary, as there must be perfect
incorporation without strengthening
bands or chains. If this experiment
stands the test of time it will be Of
great interest to scientists and will open
new industries, as we'll as furnish
means of using an article that has hith-
erto been of little value.

chinery in five or ten minutes, and run
tho engine as we'll as an old engineer.
Vixen you step into the cab, besides
some bars and levers that blow the
w$istle or tap the sandbox or ring the
bell or apply the brakes, practically all
that you see before you are a bar that
regulates the voltage and another which
directs it's application to the driving
gear. You set one and turn the other,
and the huge machine moves off as
smoothly as horse in front Of light
sidebar, and that is practically all there
is to running it.
OF course this electrical engine car
rles no coal, develops no steam, is
smokeless and sootless, and goes with
out puff or roar. When you seek to
discover whence comes the power
which propels It, the engineer points up
to a curious trolley arrangement over
heSa and just at the side Of the cab.
tween the two sets Of tracks, and over
head, runs an iron rail of something
the same size and appearance as an or
binary steel rail, and along this slips
movable trolley arrangement that
looks like a paragraph b:ilt on large
scale. By means Of this .2antagraph.

why tho Henthen Rare.

A little unnecessary excitement has
been aroused lately by the discovery
that some Birmingham metal manufac.
turers have been making idols to be
worshiped by the heather in India
They probably executed orders for
which they were well paid, and 1t was
hardly their business to stipulate that
their wares should be used for orna-
ment only. Besides, before we are too
hard on the heather, we should remem-
Der that If their idols of gold and sill
yer were melted down and sent to the
mint, they would reappear disguised as
coin of the realm, and good many
Christians would worship them then.

A Los Angeles Couple HavO started on

A Los Angeles couple Have Started on
the Greatest Tramp on Record.
W. II. Williams, Jr., and his bride Of
week have left their Los Angeles
home on novel trip around the world.
They left without luggage or money or
food, with nothing but the clothes on
their backs and few things in their
pockets. Mr.. Williams Is a son of Dis
trlct Attorney W. Y. Williams. Like
his father he is big, stalwart man,
capable Of wlthstanding all sorts Of
hardships. Some ten days ago he sur
prised his friends by announcing his
intention Of getting married, and about
a week ago turned up with a lovely
bride and spent his honeymoon at the
Russ house. The story now goes that
he made a wager OF $4,000 with his
uncle that his wife had courage enough
to undertake journey about the world
without either of them having any
money or luggage The condition was
imposed that not more than two years
should be occupied In the trip and that
the travellers must not receive any help
from friends, but must earn every cent
they get from the time Of departure UNI
til their return. The conditions were
promptly agreed to, and as no particu-
lar preparations were necessary, 1t was
decided to commence the long journey
at once The friends of the bride and
groom assembled at the hotel, and the
crowd was increased by number Of Gu
rious spectators, so that when the last
good-byes were said and the plucky lit
tie woman and her big husband took
the first step from the doors they were
greeted by cheers from an assembly of
several hundred people, They bowed
their thanks, and trudging along were
soon at the city limits and fairly start
ed on their way. San Francisco and
Seattle being visited then the road lies
straight for the Orient. The under
taking is actuated by desire for sight
seeing and adventure as we'll as by the

Very light colors bring out the faded

enng in effect, unless relieved by laven-
der, cream, dark red, etc, writes Emma
NJ. Hooper in page devoted to Fash
ions for Elderly Women" in the Ladies
Home Journal. All materials are worn
by ladies' past their youth, and such
trimmings as jet, colored passementerie,
lace, and a moderate amount Of ribbons.
In selecting materials avoid broad
stripes and Dlaids, as they attract too
much attention. Black, dark and med
ium brown, medium and stone gray,
dark green, garnet, lavender, violet, red
dish purple, cream, navy blue, bit OF
cardinal or yellow in millinery are all
allowable for elderly matrons and
splnsters. White can be worn in the
house at any age, but the duller colors
are more appropriate for the street.
Large bonnets are only worn by very
old ladies'. The toque bonnets with
strings are equally suitable for them. A
black lace, straw, felt or Jet toque with
number seven black velvet ribbon tied
under the chin, black tips, lace-black
or white-and bit of color, ~ velvet
rosette or flower, is always becoming
over gray hair and not too gay for even
a grandmother. A black net veil, with
few If any dots, and black, brown, tan,

the necessary items Of an elderly lady's
toilette. Nowadays the full capes reach

like adjustment the trolley keeps Its
hold upon the rail around curves and
az the engine bends and sways, very
much as your arm would do II you were
standing on the cab and were trying to
hold on to a wire or rope running along
side the track. If you visit the locomo-
tive IN company with an engineer, he
will explain to you the driving gear In
fashion that Is much more ineligible
with the parts Of the machine before
you than is possible with cold type
The driving gear consists Of a cast
steel spider shrunk on to a cast steel
driving sleeve having a tensile strength
of not less than $4,000 ponds, The eight
driving wheels are likewise of steel,
pressed and keyed to the axle, and have
tires three inches thick at their centers.
The engine is built in two parts, which
are hitched together, the opposite side
frames Of each truck resting upon four
wheels and connected by heavy forged
iron plates with oak bumper beams be-
tween them. The gearless motors are
four in number, two to each truck,
fiexibly supported. They are pyramldal
In shape, and are the largest railway
motors in the world. While ponderoWs
in appearance they are by no means
so bulky as might be expected from the
heavy work they have to perform
When normally placed the motors rest
in a position concentric to the axles.
Each motor is rated at $50 horse power
and takes a normal current Of 800 am
peres
The compressed air for the whistle
and brakes is supplied by an oscillating
cylinder electric air pump, and the In
terror Of the cab is illuminated by clus-
tiers of incandescent lights, The loco
motive is fitted with sand boxes and
Westinghouse automatic driver and
train brakes
The engine is designed entirely for
tunnel use, and the length of its run
is about three miles. At the end Of the
locomotives run it will take hold of an
incoming train and drag it through the
tunnel, and, of course, will reverse the
process with outgoing trains. 1t will
handle about one hundred trains day
1t will probably be set doing regular
work some time this week.
