A Gospel Trolley Car.

first trip few nights ago, loaded with
a melodeon and speakers and singers,

car was stopped, and the evangelists
sang hymns and exhorted the bystand.
ers to seek salvation. The idea is a
novel one, and while it is difficult to see
how it could be carried out without in
terferingwith the regul ar traffic of the
line, 1t Is possible that some persons
might be impelled TO better living who
could not otherwise be reached.

UNDERGROUND TROLLEY.

One Company That VIII Have No Use for
Unsightly Poles.
The Metropolitan Traction company
of New York believes that it has found
an underground trolley system of
street car locomotion that can be OPP
Grated successfully, and it will be put
in use on the new line in Lenox avenue.
The system is illustrated and described
In the Illustrated Electrical Review.
The road is already built. The sur
face construction is exactly like cable

way. On each side of it at distances of
30 feet are soapstone pillars 1871 inches
high and s inches square. No wire is
to be used at all. In it's place is ~ inch
iron channel bars running from pillar
to pillar and resting on insulators. The
pillars rest in cast iron pedestals pro-
vided with sockets six inches deep and
one inch larger In inside diameter than
the pillars. The space then left is filed
with sulphur.
On each side of the conduits and out
side of the pillars are five pipes run
ming the entire length of the line, and
in these the feed wires will be carried
The trolley itself which will be used on
the cars is fve-eighth-inch steel bar
provided at the lower end with out
wardly pressing springs, which are Sc
cured to positive and negative contract
shores. The trolleys are attached to
the cars by crossbars atvuclhed tn the
side frames of the wheel trucks. The
temporary power-house where the
electricity to operate the line will be
generated contains two 1000 horse
power cross compound engines, which
are connected with 300-voit multipolar
generators. The steam is made in two
large water tube boilers. 1t is intended
to operate the road directly from the
station. If, however, the drop in volt
age is too great with this method the
feed wires will be tapped at intervals
into the channel bar conductors. The
ordinary trolley system is operated
~ith 500-volt current.

The captain of Cunard liner one day
while crossing the herring pond, y
found that his ship was not doing the
speed he considered she ought to, and,
putting on his best frown, he went
down to the room of the chief engineer,
a hard and dry Scotchmap and an
amateur violinist. The captain knocked
at the door; the gay chords of Scotch
reel played on fiddle was the only an

THE FRENCH BEEF BOYCOTT
Secretary Gresham Will Make u vigor
Gus Protest.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-Mr. Eustis,
our am bassador to France, will be in
structed to enter a prompt and vigor-
u protest against the French de-
cree just made excluding American
cattle from France. AS the decree is
ostensibly based on the existence of
pleuro- pneumonia and Texas fever in
cattle coming from the United States,
the ambassador will call for proof Of
the fact. That will mean long and
expert tedious examinations by veter-
inaries and much correspondence,
which is not expected to be of
any more avail than that which
Mr.. R%unson, our ambassador to Ger
many, was plunged into by the issuing
of a similar decree by the German
government, for it is fully realized
here that the allegation that Ameri-
can cattle are unhealthy is the merest
pretense in both cases, and that the
real reason is fear Of American COM
petition. The American trade in
cattle with France has grown to con
siderable proportions, the shipments
during six months ended December
81 last being 13,441 head, and during
the month of January last sol head.
Secretary Morton was careful about
expressing his opinion touching the
French decree, but it could be seen
that he regarded it as a mere political
manifestation, and felt that it would
not be continued in force for any con-
siderable length of time, and that the
next change in the French cabinet
would probably be followed by the
revocation of the decree.
Notwithstanding this, the belief is
growing here that these DEGREES are
but forcrunners of other and more
severe restrictions upon American
trade, the next blow perhaps being
likely to fall upon wheat. 1t is I'M
derstood that these arc not adopted
as retaliatory measures, but are man.
i~festations of the growth of the pro-
tective sentiment in Continental
Europe, and grew out of the neces-
sity the governments are under of
~conceding something to the great
agricultural classes. Touching the
allegation of the existence Of disease
among American cattle, Secretary
Morton says that there has not been
one case of plcuro-ppeurnonia in this
United States during the past three
years, Gnd that if even there had been
cattle suffering from Texas fever
among the carefully inspected herds
shipped to Europe, the disease being
non-contagious could do no, harm
there.

The Discovery of the Potato.

Il has been proved beyond a doubt
that at the time of the discovery of
America the cultivation of the potato
Was praesicsd- with every appearance
OF ancient usage. in the temperate
regions extending from Chile to New
GreEaia. al attitudes varying with
the latitude The name of the dis
oyere- OF the potato is unknown,
but Du Candolle sums up the history
OF It's discovery as follows: The
potato Is Wild in Chile in a form
which Is still seen In cur cultivated
plants; it is doubtful whether its
natural home extends to Peru and
New Grenada; its cultivation was diff
fused before the discovery of Amer
lea and was introduced in the latter
half OF the sixteenth century into
that part of the United States now
known as Virginia and North Caro-
lima, and the potato was imported
into Europe between 1880 and 1885,
first by the Spaniards and afterward
by the English at the time o!
Raleigh's voyages to Virginia"
