According to a rapar recently read by M. Laveezzai befors the Paris S5c.sfy of Civil Engineers, the system of tIac- tion by means of compressed gas mo- tors-originating at Dresden and subse- quent1y operated in otlhsr Eu1bpean c.ties--is peculiar in som4 respects. when compared with other attempts of this class. The motor used is of. 6hs Otto type, having two cylinders, and located under the seat on one aide Of th car. For ignision electricity is used, and to change speed or direction gearing is employed; two different speeds are available at will. The speed lever and reversing lever are both fitted on the car platform, and whsn the former IS in n1id-position the engine runs free, though, as at the same time it's gas sup ply is throtiled, it's speed falls to eighty revolutions per minute; push ng the le- yer to right or left places sither the zine, simultaneously fully. ming the gas valve and causing the engine to run at it's normal spsed of 220 revolu- tlons per -minulJs. The gas is carrsed in three reservoirs, two of which are liked under the opposite seat to that connect ing the motcC; these reservoirs nave a capacity of about B cubic feet, and arr charged initially to a. pressure of 140 to ITO pounds per square inch. The cocl- ing walter is carried sn tubes placed in the roof of the car At the compression stations a small gas engine is used to drive ths.. pumps (which charge resel- voirs connected to a stand pipe nsar the track and when car is to- be charged its tank are connected to this and the valve opened.

the anti-slavery sentiment Of the coun- try, put into a convenient phrase the doctrine of the exclusion of slavery from all the territories, and was the vital principle of the free soil party founded in 1S4S and the republican party found- ed in 1854.
 In the case of vallandigham a very large superstructure of repudiation is built on a rather small foundation of public service. He was the most infiu- ential member of his party in the house of representatives from the beginning to the middle of the war, after which he stepped down and never entered pub lie office again. As the leader of the copperheads, or southern sympathizers, he acquired an international fame dur ing the war period, and acquired the distinction of being buried under the largest majority, 1O1 ,0O0, which was ever rolled up against any regularly nomi- mated candidate for state office in this country up to that time, 1863. The of flee to which he aspired was that of governor of Ohio, and his successful republican competitor was John Brough. Vallandigham, though, had only been four years in congress when the war be- gan, and his entire service on the na- tional stage was only six years.
 The recent extensions to the classified lists in the federal appointive offices by President Mckinley has brought out allusions to Thomas A. Jenckes, the pio- neer, among the men in public office, of the movement which led to the pass age of the short-lived civil service act of 1871 and to the enactment of the law of 1883, which is still in operation, and which has taken out of politics almost half of the 17SOOO federal appointive offices, and placed them on the merit basis. Jenckes was a Rhode Islander, who served in the popular branch of congress eight years. He was a worthy, industrious and useful member, but save for his connection with the civil service reform idea he would never have been heard of after hs retirement from congress.
 The case of William J. Bryan, of course, is one of the most extraordinary instances on record of g. swift bound into fame. He served only four years in congress, and made no reputation in that time except as an eloquent orator. His speeches on the silver question were among the most strong and effective which were made in the house on his side during his service. No speech made in 1893 against the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman law attracted more attention than Bryans except Bland's He gained no distinc- tion, however as a lawyer or as an ed itor. in both of which callings he was engaged, and nobody in the country at the time the democratic convention met in 1896 thought of him in connection with the presidential candidacy. A phrase made him the conventions mas ter. To no man in all the country's his- tory did political fortune come more quickly or unexpectedly.

Anoth:r method of firepcoofng wood has been brought forward-this time at Birmingham, where the British Non-in- flammable Wood company has given an exhibition designed to demonstrate the security aginst fire of buildings con struoted with timber treat=d by their new process. For the purpose of the experiment two buildings about eleven feet square and thirty in height had be n set up-simlar in all respects ex- cerit that one was made of 'treated' timber and the other of ordinary tim ber each being also furnished with chimney for the purpose of cr5atng sl1rong draught and facilitating combus- tion Outside of these houses. on the windward firewood and shavings were piled, which were set on fire sfmultane- ously; in five minutes th+ building of ordinary timber was well on fire and in about half an hour reduced to ashes, whils the other structure remained in- tact, save for the charring of the wood work on ihe side exposed to the direct action of the flames A further test had meanwhile been applied by igniting a pile of shavings and fagots inside, but again the effect was merely to char the wood which did not br=ak into flame :; a box, too made of the treated wood, and which had been placed in the midst of the ignited material, was afterward drawn out practically uninjured.>

At this moment thousands of men are standing at the crossroads of life. Death in the guise of foolish ambition coaxes them to take one road while health and happiness in the form of wife and babies coax them to take the other. For the sake of few added dollars will they continue to over-work and neglect the commonest pre- cautions for the preservation of health or will they listen to love and reason and draw back before it is too late7 A man may do almost any amount of good, hard work if he will take care of his health and when he feels out of sorts will take the right remedy.

Attention is drawn by the Boston Journal of Commerce to som4 recent inn provements made abroad in extracting flores from the various fibrous plants of the class known as ramie, rhea, or China. grass. The inventor in this case whose name or location is not given has found that by the use of acids as hithsr rto employed, such flores are re- duced .n strength or caused to decay, thus rendering them practically useless for manufacturing purposes. To over come this and other objections, the method now proposed includes provision fer a number of baskets, mads of gal vanized wire or other suitable material, to hold the fibre in place; and the next operation is to place a. sufficient num- Der of these baskets, after thsir hav.ng been filled with the raw fibre, in a high pressure kier, now in common use. Having covered the baskets with water, and added lha chemical ingredients, con- sis,.ing of two or more of the following, viz, s,5ap, pure alxali, petroleum oil, and bicarbonate of soda. after inc kisr is made tight, live steam is forced in and allowed to work up to and at htty to fifty-five pounds per square inch Tor a suitable lsngth of time, usually from four iao five hours. On this being accom- plished the fibre is ready to be taken out and washed. For future operations this process is claimed to render special ser vice.

The randects of Justinian.

The pandects of Justinan, the most
complete body of Roman laws ever col.
lected, We're supposed to be lost, but in
1877, when Amalf was taken and plum
dered by the Pisans, a private soldier
found copy which he sold to an officer
for few pence. The value of the discov-
cry was soon apparent and the precious
volume was taken to Pisa and stored in
the city library. When Pisa was stormed
by the Florcntines, in l4l5, the precious
volume was captured and taken to Flor
ence, where it was placed in the library
of the Medici
