Motive Power of the Future.

Electricity as q motive power on
long distance roads is likely TO be in
troduced, according to the reports,
much sooner than has been anticipat-
ed. The successful experiments Of
the New York, New Haven and Hart.
ford road, recently referred to, have
demonstrated the practicability Of the
third rail system. The adoption Of
that system By the Manhattan Elevated
system in New York City gave fresh
impetus to the movement, and now it
is reported that the managers of sew
eral other important railroads running
into New York City, among them the
Erie, the Pennsylvania and the Long
Island railroads, are all preparing to
introduce the new system upon their
roads. The Long Island directors, it
is said, are enthu elastic over the SUBJ
ject, believing that in very short
time the public would see TIE intro
duction Of the third rail system, or
something equally as good, over the
entire western half of the island. The
Pennsylvania, it is we'll known, has
been experimenting with electricity on
one or more Of it's branch roads for
some time past, and the Erie proposes
to equip some of its branch roads with
electricity as soon as possible. There
seems to be no end to the possibilities
of electricity, and the prediction that
it would be the great mo!iye power Of
the future seems to be near it's realiza-

Key to the Mediterranean.

The fortress Gibraltar is in many
ways the most remarkable place of it's
kind in the world. The height of the
rock is over 400 feet and this stu
pendous precipice is pierced by miles
of galleries in the solid stone port
holes for cannon placed at frequent in
tervals. The rock is absolutely i'm
pregnable to the shot of the enemy,
and, by means Of the great elevation,
a plunging fire can be directed from
an enormous height on hostile feet.
A garrison Of from 5000 to 10, 600 men
is constantly maintained, with provis-
ions and ammunition for six-months'
siege. In 1779 the celebrated siege
lasted three years, the fortress being
successfully defended by 1000 Eng.
lish, while being attacked by an army
of over 10000 men; 1000 pieces of ar
tillery, forty-seven sail, ten great float
ing batteries and large number Of
small boats composed the attacking
force. For months over 5000 shells
were thrown into the tower every day.

The Turks Strong Capital.

Military critics who have studied the
situation assert that Constantinople
has the strongest natural defcnces Of
any city in the world. tits almost i'm
pregnable.
So long as the Turk can hold his
capital the Ottoman Empire will exist.
Military critics say it would be almost
impossible for any Nation or Union OF
Nations to seize this place, which il
the key to the situation in the East.
On the land side it stands on mar
row tongue Of land, not twenty five
miles broad, and as first line Of de-
fence is sheltered by range Of lofty
hills. A comparatively small army en-
trenched in these Businesses could
defy an enormous host, which would
have to cross wide plains to reach
them.
On the side of the sea it is even
stronger. The Bosphorus is narrow
and dangerous channel, with lofty
banks on each side.
The same is the case with the Darda-
nelles, through which it would he i'm
possible to pass in the face Of fire from
forts on either side of the narrow strait.
It would be absolutely necessary to Sc
cure, in the first place, the peninsula
Of Gallipoli. But its isolation and the
height Of it's cliffs would make this an
extremely difficult task.
The only course would be to take
the city by blockade. And the diff
Guilty of this is obvious, for it would
be necessary to prevent supplies reach
ing the city, not only from the direc.
tion Of Adrianople, a comparatively
easy task, but also from Asia Minor.
To do this it would be necessary to oc-
cupy the country for q distance of $50
miles. And military experience shows
that there is no task at once so haras-
sing and so difficult as that of prevent
ing supplies from reaching an enemy
across a long line Of country.

Evidence of the complexity of

Paris and Marseilles are now con-

Chelsea district in London utiliZes
its street refuse by separating the rags

The Illinois Central Railroad is
about to experiment with electricity as
a motive power, with q view to it's
adoption on all the suburban lines Of
Chicago. It is said that both the third
rail and overhead trolley systems will
be tried exhaustively before decision
is come to on equipment.
From records extending back to
1889, NJ. Camille Flammarion finds
that the rainfall Of Paris has gradually
increased about three inches, being
now little more than twenty-five
inches year. The amount Of differ
ence seems to indicate that the increase
is real and not d.. to greater accuracy
of observation.
The director Of the gas works at
Aix-les-Bains, France. has perfected q

by q steel plate, which is magnetized
and drawn aside while an electric cur
rent is passing through it, the escap-
ing gas being ignited either by spark
from the plate Or the incandescence of
q suitable material. The plate falls
back over the burner on being demag-
netized.

PROGRESS in DAIRYlNC.
A Branch of Agriculture Which Has Be-
come Special Science.

The production of milk and butter
on the farm has become science.
In Europe, Canada and some other
States in this country, says the Phila.
delphia Record, dairy schools are
being established, the pupils take a
| full course of instruction in all the
branches pertaining to that department.
of agriculture, with the result that
dairying is not only being brought
up from it's original conditions and
methods, but is being made to pay
on farms that before afforded no
profit. Cleanliness and the handling
Of milk is considered one Of the most
important matters connected with
dairying, and it is surprising how
much can be taught on that subject
alone. The rapidity with which milk
decomposes, and the causes thereof
are made. plain, and yet with all the
knowledge Of 50 familiar an article as
milk farmers have not heretofore per-
fectly understood the cause Of diff
fculty in churning, lack Of flavor in
butter and diminution Of the supply Of
milk at times when the COWS should
be most profitable. The amount of
butter that can be produced by COW
from certain quantity Of milk can be
determined before the churning is
done, and the flavor Of the butter can
be controlled by the cultivation and
introduction into the cream Of bacilli
that have always influenced the pro-
cess, but which fact was heretofore
unknown.
The greatest advance that has been
made in dairying, however, is the sep.
aration Of the dairy COWS into breeds
and the lead taken by families of those
breeds. One cow-a Holstein-has a
record of fraction less than 1l54
pounds of butter for year, and 4
pounds and 9! ounces as her best days
production. Her milk record for one
day has reached 60 pounds and 10
ounces (nearly 80 quarts), which indi-
Gates large production Of rich milk.
Cows of the Jersey breed also have ex-
cellent records for butter, but do not
combine large milk yields with their
great butter production; nevertheless,
they have excelled in their specialties,
and the effect has been to attract the
attention Of dairymen to the possible
ties of the COW as producer and in
duced them to seek something better
for their purpose than the ordinary
animals. They are learning that if
COWS under certain conditions and rep
resenting lines Of breeding which have
made large production inherent can
reach such records, they must resort
to the better animals or be forced out
Of business by those who are progress
sive. If it is possible for COW to
reach the enormous production of115A
pounds of butter in one year, the fact
has impressed itself upon farmers that
they are inficting themselves with a
large annual loss by using animals
that average only $50 pounds Of butter
for the same length Of time.
It is the raising Of better cows,
those of breeds which will insure
greater capacity reproduction, that is
at the foundation of successful dairy
ing, for with the best animals to ba
used the farmer can convert his prod.
ucts into milk and butter at less cost
and meet the market prices we'll forti-
fed against the losses he now fire.
