In our account of Mr.. Chapman last
week we said nothing of the funeral
ceremonies at Haverhill, because the
news did not reach us in season. His
remains were taken from his home at
Lake Morey, followed by many friends,
to the Congregational church at Ha-
verhill where services were conducted
in an appropriate manner by Rev. c.
l.. Skinner the local pastor, and Rev.
j. W. Lees of Westminster, Mass,
who formerly preached in Bradford
and was a special friend of the deceas-
ed. Mr.. Lees gave one of his charac-
teristic funeral addresses, recalling
many of the marked traits of charac-
ter in Mr.. Chapman, and speaking as
one friend might speak of another.
The Haverhill people gathered into
church as the friends and mourners
from Bradford, Lake Morey and else
where took their seats. One gentle
man, business friend, came from
Boston to attend the services. The
singers of Bradford furnished the mu-.
sic. After the exercises at the church
were concluded the funeral cortege
wended its solemn way to sthe ceme-
terry on the hill, whence the valley of
the Connecticut is visible, sand there
deposited the remains.

Winding Stairs.

There is fine chance for some
architect to do good work in start
ing a crusade against winding stairs.
While there are places in old houses
where nothing else seems to answer,
this is a very poor argument in fa-
vor of building new houses in this
way Every stairway should go up
with straight steps and square,
roomy landings. In planning the
house this should be allowed for. A
few inches more of space given to
the hall and stairs will make it easy
to arrange them in this way, and
might save a life or a limb. There
have been falls, accidents, sprains,
injuries and rights on account of
winding stairways, and it seems the
extreme of folly to leave opportun-
tiles for such disasters when a little
care and forethought will do away
with the danger.
Almost all stairways, especially
those in country and farmhouses,
are so steep as to invite mishaps.
Only those accustomed to them can
go up and down them with any feel
ing of safety. IN. Y. Ledger.

of the special service jacket of blue
serge, which is a favorite with Of

ELECTRIC HIGH SPEED.
Decided Advantages in Supplying
Power from Central Station.

Decided Advantages in Supplying
Power from Central Station.
If we wish to obtain higher speeds
on railroads we must employ more
power in proportion to weight than
we now have at our disposal with the
modern steam-driven locomotive. In
order to increase the power, it is
necessary that the source of energy
should be stationary and the energy
transmitted to the moving train, and
the only practical way of accomplish
ing this on large scale is by en-
ploying electricity. An electrical
engine may be made to develop al
most any amount of power, and still
be within the weight and bulk OF the
ordinary locomotive. In regard to
the question of supplying a long
road with a powerful high-tension
current, | would say that when
trains are propelled by steam it is
necessary to employ large number
of separate engines. Why then,
should there be any objection to
using large number OF engines for
an electric railroad. 1t certainly
costs no more to run a stationary
engine than locomotive engine, and
the engines for supplying the cur
rent could be placed at regular in
terval, along the line. The tension
of the current might be, say, from
1000 to 5000 volts. The main con-
ductors should be thoroughly in
sulated and protected from atmos-
pheric influences. The actual rub
bing surface, transmitting the cur
rent to the moving train, should be
in relatively short sections, and con-
nected to the main conductor only
while the train is actually passing,
the latter being provided with suit
able apparatus for switching the
current in 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 high tension, and nearly all
danger of accidents 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 ton as the cheap coal.
A locomotive steam engine has of
necessity to be a high pressure,
non-condensing engine, and the ex-
haust steam has to be discharged
against considerably more than an
atmosphere of pressure, because it
has to be employed for inducing the
draught. Moreover, for reasons be-
fore stated, a locomotive engine must
be limited in size. .#"
A stationary engine, however, may |
be made of any size. 1t may be a
compound condensing or triple ex-
pansion engine. Large boilers may
be employed, having very large
heating surface in proportion to the
coal consumed, and the CRATE sur
face may be of any size, so that
very cheap coal may be employed.
In this manner the cost Of develop
ing a given horse power costs go per-
cent. less than it does on the loco
motive. Magazine.
