cold wave of December froze millions OF

complained Of the Weather Bureau. claiming
that it failed to notify them. Chief Harring.
ton proves by his bulletins that he did warn
them and Secretary Morton makes very
strong point when he says in reference to the
above, that "the public pay altogether too
little attention 10 the warnings given BY the
Weather Bureau"
The fact is that our government weather

piled, "O, no; you belong to the old

Nothing adds 30 much to the beauty
of fair girl, as clear, bright. healthy
complexion. and to secure this pure
blood is indispensable. So many Of the
so.called bloodpurifers sold to improve
a rough. plmply muddy skiu only drive
the scrofulous humors from the surface
to some internal vital organ, and disease
and death is the inevitable result. On
the contrary, DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery strikes directly at the
root of the evil, by driving the lmpuri
ties entirely out Of the system, and with
fresh stream Of pure blood flowing
through the veins, nothing but the softest
and fairest OF complexions can result.

BICYOLE-ELEOTRIC RAILWAY.
A Novelty in the Way of Rapid Transit
for Baltimore.

A Novelty in the Way of Rapid Transit
for Baltimore.
The building of bicycle-electric railway
in the suburbs of Baltimore was announced
yesterday as the latest of the many novel
ties which this city has introduced in the
history of rapid-transit facilities, says the
Baltimore Sun.
It is said that the new line to be built
here is the first of its kind that will be
put in practical operation for business
purposes, although the efficiency of the
bicycle electric system has been tested on
road at Bellport, Long Island. The line
will extend from q. place on the Windsor
Mill road, near the western city limits,
along the cliffs adjoining the old millrace
through Wetheredville to Powhatan, in
Baltimore County.
One of the objects of the promoters of
the project is to provide rapid transit facil-
tiles to and from Windsor Hills, sub
urban tract of ground containing 100
acres, which has just been purchased
lists. The tract extends along Gwynn's
falls, adjoining Walbrook. Avenues
have been laid out through the property,
and grading is now in progress. The land
owned by the syndicate is high and roll
ing, and is better adapted for improvement
in villa sites than In the usual city squares
and blocks of houses. The new style OF
railway is said to be particularly suited to
this kind of country.
The Boynton electric railroad system,
which is to be constructed, is combination
of the bicycle and the trolley road, with
some notifications. The system can be en-
bodied in several forms of construction, but
its general principle is long narrow, high
car, with wheels beneath arranged on a
single rail, like the wheels of bicycle,
and strong grooved beam overhead ar
ranged like trolley wire. The overhead
beam is used as guide.
The cars are designed to be 40 feet long,
Az feet wide and IA feet high, divided
into two stories, although a one-story
car may be used. They are sup
ported on the single rail by gravity,
the guiding beam above being used to
prevent them from falling to either
side, in case they are more heavily
weighted on one side than on the other.
At curves this guiding beam is moved to-
ward the inner side of the curve, so that
high speed can be maintained.
As the cars are held above and below by
the beam and the rail, it is said to be impos-
sible for them to Jump the track unless
the structure is broken. 1t is claimed that a
speed of 80 or 100 miles an hour can be at
tanned on an elevated road constructed on
this plan. The electric current is to be
carried in the overhead beam.

MAHAN'S DARING PROJECT.


AS Midshipman He Offered a Plan to
Capture the Rebel Ship Sumter.
In the advance volumes of the official
records of the Union and Confederate
navies is found letter received in 1861 by
Captain G. V. Fox, then the Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, from Midshipman AL
fred T. Mahan, now a captain and the
commander of the Chicago. Midshipman
Mahan was then in service on the United
States steamship James Adger. The fol-
lowing is the letter as published in the
Army ana Navy Journal:
U. s. S. JAMES ADGER, Sept. 8, 1861.
SIR: hope you will overlook what may APP
pear like youthful presumption in addressing
you on the subjectI wish to.
The ravages of the pirate Sumter have
reached pitch that, If long continued, will
cast an undeserved stigma upon the navy. Her
speed, on the cruising ground she has chosen,
will always enable her to obtain the twenty
four hours shelter granted by neutral powers,
and thus chance of escape by night, which
can only be prevented by surrounding her
with chain of vessels more numerous than
our small navy and extended blockaded coast
can at present allow us to devote to this object.
Can she not be decoyed under fire, or even
boarded? steamer cannot do this, for the
smallness of the steam mercantile marine
would of itself render her liable to suspicion.
/ have thought that q sailing vessel, as one of
the lately contscated rebel vessels, might be
equipped with heavy pivot gun and light
house built over 1t, such as are often seen III
merchant ships, and which would not excite
suspicion. Broadside guns requiring ports
would be incompatible with the end in view.
Man the ship with 100 men, more if necessary.
viii there not be probability of the steamer
approaching confidently, if to leeward within
a distance to render boarding practicable; if
to windward, so as possibly to be disabled or
sunk with your heavy gun?
Elaboration of detail would be misplaced
here and l shall not attempt it. I am aware
under are great, and my idea may appear rash,
or even hairbrained. But suppose it fail, what
is lost? A useless ship, midshipman and 100
men. If it should succeed, apart from the i'm
portance OF the capture, look at the prestige
such an affair would give the service. Finally,
II this is SO fortunate as to meet your approval
and that of the honorable Secretary, and you
should not wish to risk better man, 1 beg to
offer myself to lead the enterprise. am, sir,
very respectfully your obedient servant

THE WEEK.

~sTTH the weather, the flower show
HEH in Santa Rosa, the FabioIa
W. fete, the Burlingame polo, Califor-
mia class day and other tempta-
tons to take people out OF town, there has
been good reason for the utter lack o anything
going on in society during the week Nearly
every one has settled on a summer programme
and all the resorts are fast filling up. College
and school commandments Will soon be over
and that will release from town those who
have children in school.
During the coming week the principal events
will be the Press Clubs ladies' night and the
-tableaux for the benefit of the Girls Exchange
under the management of the Misses Withrow
and Mrs. Frances Edgerton at the Palace Hotel.
