In Sight.

Mr.. Glyn Of the Liverpool dock board
predicts that it will not be many years
till steamers 1000 feet long will cross
the Atlantic in 81 days.
It is almost certain to be SO. But
meantime still greater changes await us
on land. Land locomotion by steam has
probably nearly reached it's limit To
increase the speed Of train the size,
weight and carrying capacity of an en-
CINE and tender must be increased. The
added weight takes constantly from the
increase of speed. The electrical car is
the light little device that will replace
the huge railway trains propelled by
steam. With the electric car there is
no limit to speed except the safety Of
the passengers. Tt could travel 1000
miles an hour as easily as so if material
could be found to build a car strong
enough to stand the strain Of such tre-
mendous speed.
It is almost safe to say, however, that
the close of this century will see cleo
trical cars travelling regularly 100
miles an hour. With that speed it will
be as easy to go from st. Louis to Oma-
ha or St. Paul as it now is to ride from
the heart of city to a suburban town
Railway engines will be abolished. So
will sleeping cars and dining cars ex-
cept for long distances. Long, heavy
trains will be done away. So will time
tables. Passengers going from Chi
cago to Cincinnati will simply step
upon light swift car at any hour Of
the day and be whirled to their destina-
tion before they have time to even yawn
in their seats. We shall travel from
New Orleans to San Francisco is less
than "a hours.

Some of the collateral descendants q

Some of the collateral descendants of
John Howard Payne, author of s'Home,
Sweet Home, - are still among the live
liest inhabitants of this country. One
of these is Mr.. Austin Payne Holcomb,
granddaughter of John Howard Payne.
Mr.. Holcomb became year or two ago
the business manager of OK Congressman
Watson's paper at Atlanta. A little
later Mr.. Holcomb established in the
Same city the southern story paper
which, remembering his famous ances-
Tor, he named Home, Sweet Home.

Bicycle club. Thirty members of this
organization went to outlying districts,
where there was neither railroad nor
telegraph. They got the returns from
these sections and brought them into
Birmingham before the city vote there
had been counted. In order to do this,
they had to travel an aggregate Of over
1000 miles. 1t was not over the smooth
macadamized and asphalt paths that de-
light the cyclist either, but over rough
and stony mountain roads.
1t is 400 miles from London to Edin-
burgh, yet skilled wheelmen travelled
lately the entire round trip Of 800 miles
in days, 2 hours and n minutes. In
the best days Of coaching no stage was
ever able to cover more than the single
distance Of 400 miles between the cities
in less than AZ hours and % minutes.
Thus the bicycle rider made nearly
twice as good time as the fastest STAGE
coach ever did.
A quarter Of million bicycles have
been sold by dealers this year, it is cal
oulated. Good for tho boys and girls
and grown men and women! If this
keeps on, we shall have good roads,
health and no end of fun for young and
old in America. ..... 1v..

A friend of the sultan reports that he
reads, studies and works SO hard he does
not give himself time to sleep Often
and often, says this enthusiastic friend,
the imperial Turk does not get more
than couple Of hours sleep Of night.
If that is true, no wonder the Turkish
government is guilty Of untold atroci-
ties. The man who sleeps only two hours
night will either go insane, commit
suicide Or die if he tries to keep up that
style of working. ...

1t would be the making of the Rio
Grande valley if the proposed huge dam
and reservoirs should be built across the
Rio 4rande river at Ell Paso, storing
the waters in the rainy season SO
they could be used at need in the dry
season. This much is plain. But is it
quite so plain that the United States
government should build that dam?
Why would it not be better for some Of
our great capitalists who are now rath-
er glad to get 2 and 3 per cent for their
money to invest it i'll this great work?
It would be dead sure Investment.

list which embraces tonics, febrifuges,
diuretics, and. In fact, every medicinal
agent that is defined in the pharmaco-
poeia. These foods are Of the simplest
