Electric Locomotive Superior to
Steam.

Comparing the electric with the
steam locomotive as mechanisms, pure
and simple, there is wide difference
between them as regards simplicity
On the one hand we have an aggregs.
ton consisting of boilers, pumps, cyl.
inders, valves, piston and connecting
rods, with reciprocating motions,
while on the other hand, the electric
locomotive has but single moving
part, the armature, having a rotary
motion. 1t follows that the cost of re-
pairs for simple mechanism like the
electric locomotive would be far be-
low that of the steam locomotive, in
proof of which we need only cite the
statement of Mr.. Alexander Siemems
president of the English Institute of
Electrical Engineers, that the electric
locomotive operating in the London
Underground Railroad ran 10000
miles without costing cent for re-
pairs. All railroads will be eventual
ly operated electrically. The first
changes from steam will probably be
made, and have in fact already begun
on short suburban roads where the
traffic is heavy and the trains are run
at frequent intervals, and thus aprox-
innate more closely to the ideal condi-
tions of the economical electric rail
way. These electric spurs will then
he gradually extended until in the
course of time the entire line will be
adapted to the new order of affairs,
and new generation of railroad off,
GERS, less welded to the older methods
will have come into existence. So far
as new, light railways are concerned,
such as those contemplated in En-
gland at the present time, and which
are rapidly increasing in the United
States, electricity presents advantages
which cannot be disputed. 1t has
even been suggested that such agri-
cultural roads might largely increase
their income by supplying electric
power tor farming operations in the
districts through which they pass
Some trolley roads do this now

loves us and saves us from sin, re-
quires close communion with Christ,
a baptism Of that power which he
alone can give, and is the service
through which our characters are
purified and developed, and by which
we become more and more like Him
whom to know Alright, is eternal life,
II we make these meetings times OF
earnest, honest self examination, times
of humble and entire conservation,
then they will be indeed, what they
ought to be, and what they always
are, to many of you-"seasons of re-
freshing from the presence of the
Lord" Here, our information of the
work and all things concerning it
ought to be greatly enlarged, our zeal
quickened, our faith and courage es-
tablished. Here, we ought to get the
baptism of power, the outpouring OF
the Holy Spirit. Gods promise, yea,
His command is to us: "Tarry We
here until we be endued with power
from on high" Doing this, these
meetings shall be TO us veritable
standing upon the Mount of Transfig-
uratiop, and in looking upon the in
effable light that streams from the
face of the Christ, we will be enabled
to go back down into the valleys of
service and in the midst Of indiffer-
ehce, Heterogeneous, sickness, pow
erty and vice, carry the 'Joy of the
Lord" in our hearts and in every sim
stained face--no matter how disfigur-
ed by ignorance, crime or debauchery
see the image and superscription of
the Creator, and work, even with fast
ing and tears for the redemption of
that soul. The dark places of the
earth will be lighted up to us, and the
great love filling our hearts and lives,
will go out alike, to the hardened sim
ner of our own land and the barbar-
Gus savage of the African jungle.
With divinely REINFORCED strength
we will go back to our churches, cast
ing out the demons of ignorance, in
difference and disobedience. Our local
Societies will be built up, our num-
bers increased, the 1.-THE paid, the
thank offering made with gladness
and the reproach aye have robbed
me, saith, the Lord" shall be wiped
out. The Church will put on new
garment of righteousness and no in
telligent man or woman will dare to
stand and say, 81 do not believe in
foreign missions" For they shall
know that the Gospel is the power of
God unto the salvation of everyone
that beieveth, TO men of every race
and cline.

In Arizona, Wyoming and other
Rocky Mountain districts there are i'm
mense quantities of petrified wood
This, when dressed and polished
makes a most pleasant substitute for
marble and onyx, wherever these are
used for ornamental purposes. The
demand for this material has become
so extensive that several factories have
been established, where it is cut and
polished and made into mantels, tiles,
tables, etc. The great variety in colors
and grains, together with:the high pol
ish which it takes, makes 1t an excel
lent substitute for more expensive ma
terials. 1t will probably become quite
an important industry when well in
troduced.
