Soda Propelled Engines,

A fireless locomotive engine was re-
GENTLY used on the Aix-la-C -Chapelle
Julich railway. The motor power is de.
rived from soda. The invention is based
on the principle that solutions of oaus.
tic soda. which have high boiling points,
liberate heat while absorbing steam.
These engines eject neither smoke MOI
steam and work noiselessly. Compared
with coal burning locomotives, soda en-.
gines show a capacity equal to the for.
mer, while they are worked with greater
ease and simplicity.

Talleyrand replied There is only
one thing you can do-You have

Al Business that Requlrcs n Train.
ing Of About Three Years.
"P]unk PUNK twang- twang-
bang!!' You have heard those sounds
before, though they look a little unfa-
miliar when reproduced on paper.
They represent the performance Of a
piano-tuner from an outside and tym-
panic standpoint. They are the tangi-
BILE anddisagreeable part of the neces-
sary business Of putting in tune an
instrument, which alas! too many pco-
pie spend "a deplorably large portion of
their lives in putting out of tune.
This business of tuning pianos, which
certainly looks rather mysterious as
you watch the manner in which the
operator prizes up first one string and
then another, sounding meanwhile a
confused iargon Of notes, until the
puzzled listener does not know an oc.
tave from Il fifth, is not, however as
difficult and mysterious as at first ii
appears.
All that is required is an exact ell
and afew simple tolls, viz, a tuning
fork usually 4 G fork), a long, ham.
mer-like key, and a wedge or mute.
The accuracy Of the tuners ear is
partly a natural gift, partly the result
Of long practice.
Even the most Impractical ear can
readily distinguish sound from noise:
sound is produced by a regular vi
bration, while noise is a mixture Of
sounds thrown together without refer
enc to any law. High notes have q
number Of vibrations per second, while
low notes have a small number. The
highest A is calculated to have 3,4SC
vibrations per second, while the lowest
A has only twenty-seven and one-half
The majority Of these tuners have
adopted a method of tuning which in.

COME slower, I'LL nnally G1ey are nc
longer to be heard. Then the unison
Is perfect.
The ear in tuning is guided by pro
gression from a confused sound tc
strong beats, and then from smooth
waves to ore continuous sound. Uni
son and octaves are always tuned
perfect-that is, the beats must entire
ly disappear. In the fifths. when per
fectly tuned, there will be neither
wave nor beat.
1t takes generally about three years
to learn the business, and a good work
man will make from SIS to S335 q

ployed as tuners, with great success

Washington, Feb. 90 Capt. Henry

clerk of the signal service, who has
been on trial here since Jan. % on
two indictments charging him with
cmbezzlement and forgery. was to-day
acquitted Of the charges. He was ar
rested, but by a ruse escaped from his
guards, and for thirteen years re-
manned in New York city. Although a
reward of $4,000 was offered for his
capture he was not arrested until last
fall. At the beginning of the trial
there was Il hot legal battle in regard
to the validity of the indictments on
which it was proposed to try How
gate. They were finally sustained and
the case tried on it's merits. The jury
found that the case was not barred
by the statute of limitations. but held
that Howgate was not guilty of the
particular %offenses charged. After
the verdict was rendered Howgate
was sent back to jail to await trial on
the seven indictments still remaining
against him. 1t is not known which
of these will be tried first.
