Experiments to Resist Air Pressure
while ut high Speed.

hhho Nv Aisu SPpous
Youths Companion.
An interesting attempt to get rid OF a
part of the resistance which a railway
train encounters In rushing through the
air is being made in France. 1t is easy
to understand that the pressure on the
front Of a swiftly moving locomotive
which equals the force OF a strong gale
of wind, can only be overcome by an
expenditure Of energy greater than
would otherwise be required to run the
train. II that pressure could be removed,
or considerably decreased, less coal
would have to be burned.
Experiments to diminish the pressure
were begun in France about eight years
ago, and practical outcome has just
been reached. The plan adopted is very
simple. Inclined planes are attached to
the fore end of the locomotive in such a
way that instead of square front, it
presents TO tho air a sharp PROV, like
that Of Il ship. ~
1t might be thought that little would
be gained in this way, but repeated
trials have shown that, in some cases,
as much as 10 or IL per cent can thus be
saved in the consumption of coal, and
the average saving amounts to about
live per cent.
This is so important an item that q
large number of locomotives on the
railway system connecting Paris with
points on the Mediterranean have re-
Gently been fitted with the new device.
When wind is blowing directly in
the face of the locomotive the resistance
to BIO overcome is, of course, much in
creased, and tho value of prow-shaped
front is proportionately greater.
In some of the experiments it was
shown that by the combined effects of
placing inclined planes in front, and
filling up the spaces between the spoles
of the wheels, one-half OF the air re-
sistance could be done away with.

HPMEN AND THE BLIzzARD.


Fred Dodd of Lewes, and Miss Guidin of
Shenandoah, Married at Camden, y. j.
The Evening Herald, Shenandoah, Pa, of
Tuesday week, says:
Local society circles are once more stirred
up. Not by scandal, but by an unex-
pected wedding. The principals in the
sensation are Miss Minnie Guldin, daugh-
ter of the Commercial Hotel proprietor,
and Mr.. Fred. Dodd, a young man of
Lewes, Del.
The marriage was a secret to all but the
principals until last night. Even the
Brides parents had no intimation of it
until that time. Miss Guldin and Mr..
Dodd first met last October in the place
where the groom's home is located His
father is merchant there. About two
weeks ago Mr.. Dodd came here and re-
manned guest at the hotel. Last Thurs.
day he and Miss Guldin left by train for
Pottsville, ostensibly to visit some of Miss
Guldin's relatives. Nothing unusual was
suspected. Even when Miss Guldin failed
to write and say she had reached her des
tination no suspicious were aroused, as the
blizzard had set in. Everything seemed
to help along the secrecy of the affair.
Last night the young lady returned Il
the hotel. Not as Miss Guldin, however
but as Mrs. Fred Dodd. Mr.. and Mrs
Gnldin took the situation philosophically
After the shock of the surprise passed Of
the usual forgiveness, blessings, etc, fol
lowed and every body seemed happy. Tn,
bride and groom are domiciled at thu
hotel. They say they were married il
Camden, N J.
The announcement of this wedding will
occasion surprise in other parts of tn
county, especially in Pottsville, where tn
bride recently resided with her parents
She Is good-looking young woman of /
years and IS very prominent in amateu
theatrical circles. She attained some sue
cess as the drummer Boy" in the benefi
productions OF The Drummer Boy o
Shiloh" in Pottsville and this town fe,
years ago, and last December appeared il
a"Topsy" character in comedy at Robbins
Opera House in this town for the benet
of the Protestant Episcopal Church.

on certain OF the saints days was in
valid. A student of folklore may
wonder how the ancients came to
marry at all. since the prohibited days
far outnumber the free ones, and
free one in one nation was crime
against the church in another, Just as.
the marriage and divorce laws OF the
various states make man happy
husband in one commonwealth and
rascal in another.

Juno, who was both sister and wife
of Jupiter, was born in June. In the
DAYS of the Caesars it was believed
that Juno became the guardian of all
brides of June. And even now, when
all the clouds and mists of Roman
mythology have been for centuries dis.
solved in the rays of the truth and the
life. the young ladies OF new era look
upon June as the most favored month
and so they name the day. In our
land and in this month we can oftener
say: Happy is the bride the sun shines
on, for June is sunny month.
In Scotland the pretty month of May,
with flowers, green leaves and its
wealth of sward, is not month for
marrying or giving III marriage. The
Scotch people believe that Queen Mary,
who married Boutwell, IN May, casts an
evil eye upon all marriages made in
that month. The Romans encouraged
no marriages IN May. because it was
month for the sacred funeral rites. The
Chinese absolutely forbid any mar
riages in May.
And now, while the young ladies of
the national capital are stepping forth
from carefree maidenhood into the life
of wifehood and its responsibilities;
while they are marrying in film Of
superstition garnitured by love; while
they are congratulated and feted by
