THE AMPHIDIoUs STEAMER.

and nine feet in the beam, draws about
three feet of water, and can accommo-
date 70 persons. The engines are of
q horsepower and work the propeller
when the boat is in the water. By an
ingenious arrangement, as soon as the
steamer approaches the rails, the shaft
of the propeller is disconnected from
the engine, and the crank shaft of the
driving wheels become connected. A
series of posts are arranged which in
sures the safe guidance of the boat
onto the rails. The wheels work in
water-tight boxes, and it is found these
answer very well. The wheels are of
the same size as those ordinarily in use
on railways, while the track is slightly
followed to allow for the keel, which
projects very slightly below the level of
the rails.
When the boat has crossed the 18TH
mus and renters the water the wheels
are thrown out Of gear, and remain
locked while the engine works the pro
peller. There is no preceptible jarring
or jolting either when the vessel is com
ing on to the rails or leaving them. The
steamer is said to be a success in every
way, and is proving to be rcmunera
tive speculation. Whether we shall live
to see the principle applied to ocean
going ships is doubtful, especially VIXEN
we come to consider the enormous dead
weight of one of our Atlantic gray
hounds" But for small steamers the
idea is evidently good and practicable.
The inventor thinks that amphibious
boats Of this description win be largely
used in countries like Sweden, Finland
and the Baltic provinces Of Russia and
Germany, where there are so many lakes
and arms of the sea separated by lovely
ing necks of land. That the invention
is believed in by the people of Denmark
is evident from the fact that several
more of these railway steamers have
haen ordered

Advocating Use Of Horsefiesh,

A German paper says in discussing
he use of horse flesh: Everybody ia
aware that the horse is the cleanliesl
of all domestic animals. It will not cut
anything but good healthy food nor
drink any but pure water. A horse
would rather starve than swill the rot
ten stuff given to pigs and cattle. 1t is
nothing but prejudice that prevents us
from eating horse flesh. A similar
prejudice retarded the introduction of
THE potato 100 years ago. Horseflesh
is the most nourishing of all meats, and
its taste is hardly to be distinguished
from that of beef. The flesh of a horse
fed on oats has smell similar to goose
flesh. The fat is preferable to lard.
Above all it should be remembered that
no flesh is so healthy as that of the
horse. Trichinosis and similar diseases
are unknown in horses. tuberculosis,
very common in cattle, is very rare in
horses"

How IFS Motive Power Is Adjusted Makes
Ten Round Trips Eve-y Day-Aui
Invention That May Become
Very Popular.

1t is only natural that the inventive
faculties of mankind have been en-
gagged in trying to solve the problem
of cheap transport, especially where
goods have to be carried long distances,
necssitatipg transshipment or the load
ing and unloading of trains or other
conveyances. Every operation of such
a nature adds to the cost of carriage,
and it has been the dream of many an
inventor to be able to think out some
method by which such expenditure
could be lessened, if not avoided. The
Suez canal enables ships to reach India
and the far east in shorter time than
was taken by the old Cape route, thus
saving time and expense. The Panama
canal was projected with the same idea.
An. alternative proposal was made by
several inventors to the effect that,
as it was of supreme Importance that
goods should be conveyed long dis
tances in one ship so as to save the cost
of several transshipments, therefore it,
should be arranged that the ship, In
the case of the Panama isthmus, should
be transported bodily from ocean to
ocean. Many schemes were devised,
but none have hitherto been found
practicable. Now, however, an enter
prising and ingenious Swedish engi-
neer, C. j. Magnell, has shown that at
any rate small steamer can be so con-
structed as to be propelled on land as
well as on the water without much
difficulty.
AS will be seen from the illustration,
the steamer when on land runs on rails
just as train does, the motive power
being the same that turns the propeller.
Mr.. Magnell's steamer is called the
Swan, and is now at work in the north
ern part of the island of iceland, In
Denmark. 1t performs it's journey ten
times daily, and crosses the intervening
isthmus of dry land in a perfectly salts
factory manner every time. The little
amphibious boat is about so feet long

President E. C. Smith of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad gave out Mon
day the following statement concerning
the appointment of receivers for his
road:-
'The receivers were appointed upon
the petition of the Grand Trunk Rail
way company to the United States
Circuit court for the district OF Yer
mont.
"That company is a large holder of
the securities of the Central Vermont
company and also a creditor. The ap-
plication was made entirely without the
knowledge of the Central Vermont
and was complete surprise to its off
GERS. The motive of the Grand Trunk
company in this move is not entirely
well defined, but from the fact that L.
c. Smith, president of the Central
Vermont, was at its request associated
with Charles NJ. Hayes, general man.
ager of the Grand Trunk company,
in the receivership it may be safely as
sumed that it had only the best inter-
ests of the property in view and that
there will be no interruption in the OPP
Grafton of the property SO far as con-
Germs the personnel Of the staff or in its
arrangements with its railroad connec-
tons or in the friendly relations be-
