"The road once opened, 1t Is readily

stations for supplying wood fuel will
be distributed along the route where
needed. When a steep grade exceed

pressed into service to get over 1t. The
means used will be wire cable

attached to the locomotive. The loco

perfect ease. In case an Ice gorge
should be encountered the same means
will be applied to get over 1t. If the
gorge be very abrupt, then a steam

pose. The locomotive will be equipped
with every device needed for such
work.
"The locomotives to be used In this
system will not be as heavy as those

they will be built on tie same principle,
not weighing more than eight tons and
with hauling capacity of from 20 to
100 tons Of freight. The locomotive will
be housed like the one shown in the
pictures, pulling from six to eight cars,
one or two of which will be for passen-

Klondike Trademarks.

The Klondike craze has had its effect
on the Patent Office, as has been shown
by the application for trademarks
bearing the word. Two or three patents
have been applied for for objects which
might be better scited for the gold
fields there than elsewhere, but the
chief clerk refuses to tell of them.
The applications for trademarks bear
ing the word Klondike, Chief Newton
of the trademarks division of the Pat
ent Office says have been made for a
certain brand Of cigars, n bicycle lamp
and furniture. One word can be used
as trademark as many times as may
be wished, with the exception that each
object must be different. Speaking to a
reporter on the subject of trademarks,
Chief Newton said: whenever there Is
anything new, or any new craze, the
applications for trademarks in that line
begin to come In Immediately. When
the Trilby craze was at its height we
had application after application come
in for trademarks on different objects,
which were registered, until the craze
apparently died out.
II have been surprised ut how much
manufacturers attribute to trademarks
of their articles. For instance, certain
-four manufacturing company, in insti-
tuting an interference case, made oath
that the name Of their particular brand
of flour was worth half million dol
lars, and I believe that was really paid
for 1t. 1t Is known that the sum Of
$4,000 was actually paid for the name
of certain potash. "-Washington Star.

Pretty Stage Trick Recently Devised
In Europe.

In Europe. So
: or the many new illusions now being
presented In Europe, an ingenious one
is that OF the appearing lady. On the
stage Is seen a plain, round-top four
leg table, which the magician has been
using as resting place for part of the
apparatus used in his magic perform
ance. Eventually, the performer re
moves all articles from the table and
covers Ii with q cloth that does not
reach the floor. The part of the first
cut, marked "a" represents the table
In this condition. On command, the
cloth gradually rises from the center Of
the table as though something were
pushing 1t up. In few moments 1t be-
comes very evident that some one or
something Is on the table covered by
the cloth. The magician now removes
the cloth and lady Is seen standing
on the table, as in the second illustra-
ton.
The secret of this, as in all good illu-
sions, is very simple, as the part Of the
first illustration, marked 3D." will
show. In the stage there is trap door,
over which is placed fancy rug that
has piece removed from it exactly the
same size as the trap, to which the
piece is fastened. When the trap Is
closed the trap appears to be an ordin-
airy one. The table Is placed directly
Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1897-10-21

over the trap. Below the stage Is a
box, open at the top, with cloth sides
and wood bottom. To this box are at
tached four very fine wires that lead
up through the stage by means Of small
holes where the trap and floor join,
over small pulleys In frame of table
and down through table legs, which
are hollow, through the stage to
windlass. In the table top is trap
that divides in the center and opens
outward. The top of the table Is inlaid
in such manner as to conceal the
edges of the trap. The lady takes her
place in the box in kneeling post ton,
the assistant stands at the windlass,
and all is ready.
The magician takes large table COW
err, and, standing at the rear of the
table, proceeds to cover 1t by throwing
cloth over table, then slowly draws 1t
up over the table top. The moment that
the cloth touches the floor in front Of
the table the trap is opened, and the
box containing the lady is drawn up
under the table by means of the wind
lass, and the trap is closed. This Is
done very quickly during the moments
time In which the magician is straight
cning out the cloth to draw it back
over the table. All that now remains
to be done is for the lady to open the
trap in table and slowly take her place
on top of the table and close the trap.
The top and bottom of the box by
means of which the lady is placed I'M
der the table are Connected by means of
three strong elastic cords placed inside

HOT WHEEL LOCOMOTIVE tUNFRAMED,.

The highest grade for about two miles
through White Pass is about Is per
cent. A road through it Is now being
cut and corduroyed. Even now the
pass is 1000 feet lower than the Chill
koot Pass and can be gotten over with
but little difficulty, l think. With
such an improved road, however, as is
now being made through White Pass
a snow train can ascend almost as
easily as a cable car through the Wash
ington street tunnel, for 10 per cent
grade has the same ascent and de-
scent as the said tunnel. After get
ting through White Pass there is a
comparatively level stretch of table
land for $50 miles. through which Dal-
ton Trail runs to Fort Selkirk, small
