In New York an extensive pneumatic

Telegraph company for the trans
mission of messages. From the main

are propelled the entire distance in
seven minutes and the lines are
operated by natural air pressure act
ing against vacuum. Other lines
run to the companys Office in the
Cotton Exchange in Pearl street and
to the newspaper offices, a pressure OF
seven pounds being used instead OF a
vacuum. Altogether the Western
Union company has 70,32O feet, more
than thirteen miles, OF pneumatlc

broad surfaces as at Chicago (when the
Worlds fair buildings had to be eX-
peditiously painted), aerating impure
drinking water, raising the pressure of
natural gas, unloading dump cars, and
cleaning car cushions. This last has
been most extensively developed on the
Pacific coast, where every particle of
dirt and dust is quickly washed out OF
car upholstery by a stream of air

Of course. The chief other difference
in appearance is furnished by aprons"
that extend from the sides of the car
nearly down to the track level and
serve to conceal the compressed air
engines (each consisting Of cylinder
piston rod slides, connecting rod and
crank, the same as the working parts
of a steam locomotive that are placed
on each side of the car. The air is
stored in tanks, so disposed under the
seats and elsewhere as to be quite out
of sight. These tanks are of seamless
steel. SO far made only in Germany,
and, according to Lawrence S. Mott, Of
New York, were it not for unexpected
delay in securing their delivery on this
side of the water, it is understood that
the Ninth avenue cars would have
been running before this. Some years
ago compressed air line was operated
for a time in Pullman Ill., on which
the air was furnished from a pipe run
ming between the rails, which was
tapped at intervals by an ingenious
contrivance reaching downward from
the car, but in the system about to be
introduced, air tanks on each car
are TO be charged at stated
intervals, from a central compress
ing station at d pressure of 1000
pounds to the square inch. 1t is under
stood that there is no danger from this
high pressure, since the tanks are
tested to stand twice as much, or
1900 pounds to the square inch, and

NOTES OF THE DAY.

More fatal prostrations occurred in
Philadelphia during the late hot spell
than in any other city.
One Viralhaven, Me, firm has $4,000
Holsters in a single pond fattening for
the Boston market. They cost the firm
cents apiece.
1t is said the population of Iowa I'M
der the new census will foot up to
2,500, 600 This is an increase of 600,
coo from the population of 1890.
New York newspapers report that all
the staterooms of the transatlantic
steamships have been engaged for sew
eral weeks ahead.
Criminals executed at Newgate
prison, England are placed in com
mon burial shells, in which quicklime
has previously been deposited.
Camels are perhaps the only animals
that cannot swim. Immediately after
entering water they turn on their
backs and are drowned.
The smallest woman of Europe is
believed to be Mile Pauline of Hol-
land who is only twenty-one inches
high and weighs but ten and one-half
pounds.
1t is a strange fact that the right
hand, which is more sensitive to the
touch than the left. is less sensitive
than the latter to the effects of heat
or cold.
The latest addition to the small
parks of London is the Betheral Green
gardens. an area of nine acres in the
heart Of quarter that has been poor

Placed end to end in a continuous
line the streets of London would extend
from the Mansion house across the en-
tire continent of Europe and beyond
the Ural mountains in Asia.

pressed air traction it is probable that
air will s9on be introduced as a motive
power on the surface lines of several
cities, the first of which viii be Rome,
NY. and the second, New York.
> At Rome, where most of~the, expert
ments have been carried on, single
ear has been regularly operated by
compressed air for some time and so
successfully as to win the entire ap-
probation of the state railroad COM
missioners. A month or six weeks ago
these officers made special inspection
of the system and unanimously author
lied the local street railway company,
which had secured q charter to oper-
ate its road by means of the trolley, to
substitute air for electricity as its mo
tive power.
Preparations are therefore now going
ON with all speed to fully equip the line
upon that basis. In the meantime sat
isfactory investigations of the new sys-
tenn have been made by the Metropoh-
tan Traction company, of New YORK
and within the next seven or elgnt
weeks it will put six cars, htteo Win
the necessary tanks and engines upon
it's Ninth avenue line.
It is quite possible that success on
this line may lead to extensive adop-
other New York surface roads. No
where on Manhattan Island has the
overhead trolley been allowed as yet
to secure footing, chiefly perhaps be-
cause of the congested condltlon OF
metropolitan streets and the generally
enforced city ordinance against over
head wires of all sorts. Thus al
though there are a few cable lines and
the depressed trolley has begun 10
make its appearance, the tinkle bell of
the horse car is till heard on nearly all
the big city's surface lines, both cable
and depressed trolley systems being
not only enormously expensive to bulld,
but difficult Of operation in so crowded
a city as New York.
Appearance and Speed of Com
pressed Air Cars.
In appearance the new compressed
air cars are very similar to the cars of
overhead trolley systems, the trolley
pole being conspicuous by its absence

shortly it would be distributed through

These squids are famous Inirnics. having
the peculiar faculty of adopting their
color to that of their surroundings. Thus
on white bottom they seem to lose all
color. but darting over a mass OF dark
sea weeds they change instantly, a reddish
flush appearing that deepenS until the
animal is almost invisible. When closely
examining the waves of color which fol-
low one another over the body Of the ami
NAL they present a most attractive ap-
pearance.
Some years ago a naturalist observed
some shining objects darling about in the
waters of the bay CT Naples at night,
Catching some of them in Il net he found
they were minuIe squids. The body was
large and bdg-shaped; the eyes prominent
and tentacles short. The little creatures
were very active, darting this way and

EARLY CALIFORNIAN HOSPITALITY

The hospitality of both ranches and
missions was unbounded. One could
travel the length OF the land and no
money asked for, nor would it be re
ceived if offered; horses were furnished
from one rancho or mission to another;
food and housing were given with ever
a hearty welcome. In gentleman
home it was customary to leave in the
guest chamber a heap of silver coin
covered by a cloth; from this, if the
visitor were in need, he was expected
to supply his immediate wants. 1t was
considered a disgraceful act for any
member of the household to count the
guest silver. In 1929 a young American
travelling with a Spanish party from
Monterey to Los Angeles astonished
all by offering money for fruit and
other courtesies. A young Spanish girl
voiced the general feeling when she
exclaimed with contempt. Los Ingleses
pagan por todos. The English par for
everything.

TYPE OF COMPRESSED LOCOMOTIVE MINES.

when by raising the pressure to 1000
or 5000 pounds, they have been rup-
tured, there has been no explosion,
only a smart puff of cold air, quite
harmless in it's effects. BY a simple
reducing device the pressure of the
air in the tanks is brought down TO 15d
pounds before it reaches the engines
and it has been found that, at this
pressure. there is no noise of exhaust
as there is of course no smoke. In
very cold weather there is a very
slight vapor. as of the breath of man
or a horse, due to the fact that the
air is passed through hot water after
leaving the compressor and before en-
tering the tank.
1t will be possible to run compress
ed air cars as rapidly as steam loco
motives working at $50 pounds pres

diameter (26 inches) could be run-say

ordinances regarding speed must be

Manuel Garcia was a fisherman along
the Southern California coast and every
morning it was mis- duty TO ride up the
long white beach and watch for the
schools of barracuda, and sardines that
frequented the warm waters. RE carried
a long slender pole like the lance Of a
mounted dragon, to which white flag
hung pendant and when a school was
sighted he drove this into the sand and
rode back at full speed TO the little fish
ing village to join the fishermen who
would pull to the spot and endeavor to
surround the school with their big nets.
Manuel in this way covered many miles
of beach; sometimes to the north, where
the Sierre Santa Monica range was faint
ly outlined in the haze; sometimes to the
south, where the sands wound away and
were lost to view.

On the Edge of the Sea-.

The long white stretch might have been
monotonous to some, but to the young
fisherman it was rich and resOurceful and
every morning as he Sprang upon his
mustang and gaIloped away, his horses
feet sounding unsteady ION the sand. he
was on the alert for some new experience
One day he would find the white cranes
roosting on the edge of the lagoon and
steal upon them from behind the sand
dunes, or he would lind the she'll nests of
a little tern among the grasses OF the
beach.
For ages the in-shore wind had been
blowing the sand in little rivuleIs-heap-
ing up the beds in strange shapes. Day
after day they changed: now piling up
over some old wreckage, again being
blown from great IimberS long since bur
led. So ever changing, various objects
were blown up from the sea; occasionally
a nautilus shell or Il strange fish, telling
of southern seas.
One moruing Manuel started up the
beach before the sun had risen. The tide
was out and q long stretch of beach
reached from the sand dunes down to the
waves that came pounding in high comb
ers, whose hecks OF spray were caught
by the wind aud carried inland, The mus
tang seemed to catch the infection and
bounded away ike the wind; now buff
feting the incoming rollers and racing
with them as they flew ia.
