AN ELECTRIC DEVICE.
Tint Utilities Waste Power in Light
ing Railroad Trains.

4
ing Railroad Trains.
From the New York Times.
A party went recently to the Atlanta ex-
position in a unique private car. 1t was
brilliantly illuminated by means of mean
descent electric lamps. run on a new prin-
ciple at once so simple and efficient that one
OF the spectators, an electrical expert, was
led to excla:m:
why, it's the easiest thing in the world,
and the wonder is that We didn't all Of Us
think of the same thing years ago."
The inventor of the system has utilized
what he calls the waste power Of the axle
to generate electricity to light the car, and
to store a supply of power which can be
drawn en- for twenty-four hours or longer
after the car has been cut off and side
tracked.
without going into technicalities'' he
said, sit is sufficient to say that we have
small inexpensive dynamo, built on the
truck, the armature resting directly on the
axle. After the train has started and has
reached speed Of ten miles an hour the
dynamo begins automatically to generate
electricity.
Something less than one-half of the cleo
tricity generated Is consumed by the lights;
the rest passes to storage batteries, where
it is stored for use when the car is cut Oft
or stops. In a run of seven hours sufficient
electricity is stored in this manner to light
the car for twelve hours after it Is stopped,
besides having supplied all the lights dur
irg the seven hours running time.
IAN our ma chincry, which is of the SIM
pest, consisting mostly of the little dynamo
and storage batteries, rests underneath the
flooring of the car on the trucks All we
have in the car are the lamps and the
switchboard, the latter taking up little
room and can be put away anywhere in
closet.
1.-THE dynamo is SO constructed that it
rever takes more than one and a quarter
horse power for the axle. Hence it makes
Eo difference whether the train runs ten
miles or a hundred m.es,Sthe result is the
same The ordinary commercial dynamo
would burn out If attached to the axle of a
car running at the rate of sixty miles an
hcur. Ours regulates itself, and running
fast or slowly it giv=s the same electro
motor result"

From the Kansas City Times.
THE sacrifice of human lives under GER
tain conditions is still a custom in certain
parts of Russia said Prof. James F. Jen-
kins, MD, of Middletown, N. Y, at the
Savoy. Attempts by the government to
put a stop to the practice have thus far
been in vain. 1t prevails among a sect
known as the 'Tshukshem,' not far from
Yakootsk. OLD people who have lived be-
yond the biblical allotment and sick ones
tired Of life offer themselves for sacrifice
When one of these characters decides to
offer himself up he sends word to all his
relatives. friends and neighbors. who then
visit him and try to persuade him to
change his Intentions but all to no p,;r-
pose. He chooses the manner in which he
shall die. and he is killed with great cera-
nlcny. The body is then taken to a crema-
terry near by, where it is reduced to ashes,
which are carefully preserved in an urn Of
silver by the relatives. During the crema-
ton the relatives pray to the spirits, beg
ging them to guard the lives of those NOR
tails still left on earth This custom has
been followed by the sect for centuries

Keeping an Old Contract.

run tlis mexican Herald
Many people wonder why the mail is
taken from the general post Office in this
capital to the various railroad stations in
an ancient diligence. The Laredo Times, in
a recent issue, gives the following reason:
Before railroads were thought of GER
tain man made a perpetual contract with
the government to carry the mails between
Mexico City and e. Paso. For many years
his stage faithfully made the lorg journey
until one day the Central railway between
these two points was finished and the mails
ordered sent by train. But the old contract
was still in force and the owner of the
business, son or grandson of the original
contractor. firmly refused to relinqu;sh his
rights. and stated that he would carry the
mails by stage, as usual He held out un-
til it was finally agreed that he should in
deed take the mails from the general post
but deliver them at the railway station a
mile or so distant, for which he was to re-
CeiVe the same compensation called for in
his contract for making the thousand mile
trip to Ell Paso. And this is why the old
stage coach carries the northern mails
through the city from the post office to the
railway station and back again. 1t may
be old and out of date. but that contract is
as fresh and vigorous as ever and cannot
be set aside

NEW YORK, November 2T.-Weakness In
the market for foreign exchange and the
consequent assurance that the outflow of
gold at the erd Of the week will be small,
if not absolutely unnecessary, were domi-
nant factors in todays stock market. Post
ed rates receded fractionally below the
shipping point as the result of increased
drawings against cotton exports, short bills
and cable transfers being in good supply.
London advices reflected an advance in
consols and the favorite Kaffir issues and
foreshadowed an increased demand for
Americans. The several International is
sues were bid up in anticipation of this
demand, advances varying from IL to Is
per cent, the latter for Nashville, being
recorded toward the close o1 the noon hour.
