deserving young man with much
courage and self-confidence. He is

silver at the ratio of 16 to l, and on
this point he may be relied upon to
represent the people of Scott county

been selected. In the beginning of

the returns were all in and President
Hunter, OF the Salt River Packet
Co., began to make arrangements to
officer the boat. At once a contest
sprang up between Lcftwich and
Marshall as to who should play cap,

that the president refused to
decide and concluded that he
would commission them to take
it "turn about" as both were men
of experience, who had been up the
river before.
This seemed to settle all differences
and Albert DcReign was selected as

1t Is Double Cocoanut That Grows No.
body Knows Where.
After years of vain negotiations the
Royal Botanical society of London has
at last obtained a specimen of that
rarest of oriental rarities, the COCO
de mer, or double cocoanut.
For hundreds Of years, and even in
the year 1892, the origin Of the COCO de
mer is mystery that is yet to be ex-
planned. 1t is unknown to eocoanut
growers and gatherers, and, according
to creditable testimony, has never been
seen except when washed upon the
shores of some tropical country by a
mighty storm. Lilly, the famous as
trologer, owned small one, ,and Camac,
Of Paris, another.
To these uncanny nuts the ignorant
masses OF the seventeenth century at
tributed many Of the supernatural
feats said to have been performed by
their owners; They We're and are sup
posed to have wonderful powers in tho
way Of curing diseases. At one time it
was reported that there was a species
OF cocoanut tree growing on the island
OF Sepchelies which grew nothing but
these wonderful nuts. Williams, R.
NJ, exploded the story and the COCO de
mer Is still mystery.

stopping Electric Locomot,v...

Although it has hitherto been possible
to stop an electric car quickly, the re-
versal of the current which the action
necessitated resulted in a considerable
waste and caused tendency to burn
out the motors. A new method Oh ac-
comphshing the stoppage has been de-
vised The new motors of car are SO
connected that the electro motive force
OF each under the rotation impaired by
the forward movement of the car op-
poses that of the other, and tends to
produce current in such direction as
to increase its own field magnetism and
cut down that of the other: The car
will thus be checked or brought TO q
sudden stop If running rapidly, and IL
on heavy grade will creep slowly down
without taking current from the supply
wre and without having the brakes sct;
