necessary to employ a large number of
separate engines. Why, then, should
there, be any objection to using a large
number of engines for an electric rail-
road? 1t certainly costs no more to
run a stationary engine than a locomo-
tive engine, and the engines for supply
ing the current could BE- placed at reg
ular intervals along the line, The ten
sion of the current might be, say, from
1000 to 5000 volts The main con-
ductorS should be thoroughly insulated
and protected from atmospheric infiu-
ences. The actual rubbing surface,
transmitting the current to the moving
train, should be in relatively short sec
tions. and conducted to the main con-
Guctor while the train is actually pass
ing, the latter being provided with suit
able apparatus for switching the CT
rent il ahead of the train and cutting
it out after the train has passed. In
this manner there would be very little
loss of current, even at a very nigh
tension, and nearly all danger Of acct
dents would be avoided.
With the present steam engines it IS
necessary to use the very best quality
of coal, costing at least twice as much
per ten as the cheap coal. A 1ocomo-
tive steam engine has, of necessity, to
be high-pressure, non-condensing en-
CINE, and the exhaust steam has to be
discharged against considerably more
than an atmosphere OF pressure be-
cause it has to be employed for Undue
in the draft. Moreover, for reasons
before stated, a locomotive engine
must be limited in size.
A stationary engine, however. may
be made Of any size. 1t may be a cont
POUND condensing or triple expansion
engine. Large boilers may be en-
plcyed, having a very large heating
surface in proportion to the coal con-
sumed, and the CRATE surface may be of
any size, so that very cheap coal may
be employed. In this manner the de-
Yelopment of a given horse power
costs 60 per cent. less than it does on
the omotive.-Cassier's Magazine.

BIG FoRTIFICATION PROJECT.
New York to Have the Greatest Coast
Defense in the World.

New York, July 3.--The Morning Ad-
yertiser says: within a few weeks
will be commenced one of the most
gigantic operations in the history OF
the war department. FOrtifications
more powerful than those existing any
where in the world will be built at
Fort Wadsworth and Sandy Hook, the
cost of work will be $1G,000,000. But
this is only a beginning 10 place New
York in a position to defend herself
against foreign foes. Construction will
be continued from time to time until
the Notifications outlined by the elab
crate plans have been completed, and
when that is done the total cost, it is
said will have been about $50 900 900
At Fort Wadsworth new forts will eX-
tend a mile south from the present
barracks, extending almost from Fort
Wadsworth to South beach. In this
tract of land will be built a continuous
line of forts, mounting twenty-five guns
of huge dimensions in all. Here also
it is intended to build torpedo station
and observatory. The work at Fort
Lafayette will not be so important.
Only fifteen guns will he mounted
there, but they alone would go a long
way toward protecting New York from
harm Z"

crowds. But it will not be until Sun
day that the Boies boomers will arrive
in force. Special trains will bring
them to the seat of the fray. The
Matthews boomers from Indiana are
playing waiting game. By the rival
ries and jealOusies that are being de-
veloped they hope to profit. The
friends of Blackburn and Mclean, the
other two silver candidates, have not
as yet done much work. They, too, are
awaiting such opportunities as may
present themselves, but neither is as
yet considered in any way formidable.
The gold standardites are not giving
much consideration to the question as
to who will be put forward as candi-
dates. The picture of Governor Patti
son, of Philadelphia, has been nailed
to the wall of the PENNSYLVANIA head
quarters by direction of Chairman
Harrity, and the general impression is
that the gold strength will be conoen-
trated on him. The arrival of the
New York gold leaders and Secretary
Whitney, Senator Hill, Governor
Flower, Col. Fellows and ex-Mayor
Grant, this afternoon is anxiously
awaited for by gold standard contingent.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels,
the representative of tho administra-
ton, has been lively up 10 this time,
his allies in Illinois and Indiana hav-
ing been able to do Othing. Until the
gold standard men confer more they
are practically without plans They
made public demonstration in
the Auditorium Saturday against the
action of the silver majority. .~A'

INT ERROR CUSTOMS ABOLISHED.
Mexico Will Only Collect Duties at
Ports of Entry.

City of Mexico, July 3.-The aboli-
ton CT Mexican custom-houses in the
interior went into effect July /, and
hereafter these establishments will ex-
ist only on the frontier and at the ports.
All Dostmasters in the United States
were recently requested by the govern
ment to cooperate in the new order OF
things by forwarding only uusealed
parcels as post packets. This request,
however, was hardly necessary, as since
the United States entered into the rar-
cels-post treaty it has never permitted
the transmission of sealed packages
across the border. Numerous regula-
lions for fiscal reform consequent On
the abolition Of the old interstate anu
intermunicipal duties also go into eff
feet.
