About three years ago a miner named
Alexander Straubenmiller was lost and
died on the Colorado Desert. A skeleton
found near sink hole some months after

bearing Straubenmiller's name, two $40

washed the sand from the articles, this
accounting for the failure to find them

Hot Water as a Motive Power.

The New York Central Company is
experimenting with new motor. Its
motive power is neither steam nor
electricity nor compressed air. but
hot water under enormous pressure.
This is stored in supply boilers and
then charged under the same pressure
in the battery cylinders of the motor.
Its great mUrit is said to be its cheap
ness. Extensive plants are not re.
quired, and the cars can be operated
on any track. All that is necessary
are number OF boiler.houses along
the road.
The New York Central has had an
experimental motor constructed, and
. freight car has been fitted mp as n
boiler-house TO supply it with power.
In the freight car are two vertical
boilers, the latter being eight feet in
height and six feet in diameter. In
the middle of the large boiler is II
great copper coil. Two iron pipes
project from the side of the freight
car and are connected with socket
couplings to pipes in the motor COR
alongside. The hot water is run
through these pipes into the motor
cars battery cylinders, and then the
motor is ready to start.
The motor car has been put on the
main track of the company n number
of times, has been run for five to ten
minutes each time, and, it is said, a
high speed has been attained.
Chauncey Depew, the President OF
the New York Central, says the new
motor will be used in the suburban
service of the Grand Central If il
proves to be the success predicted fol
it. The series of experiments started
with it have not yet been flushed, and
the motor is tber ore still an object
of study and uu, ctainty, but some
engineers believe that it will revolu
tionize railroad locomotion.

The sea gull is doubly the benefac-
