proach of train. Other devices make
the signals used in switching trains, and
throw the switches themselves. In the
railroad shops, air has proven itself a
valuable servant, for lifting and hoist
ing. A long and slender cylinder is
hung from an overhead crane or der
rick above the object to be moved.
compressed air is forced into the cylin-
der, and the pair of locomotive wheels
or other ponderous weight is moved
with ease.
In no other line of industry has COM
pressed air proved itself more val
liable auxiliary than in mining for coal,
gold and silver Many of the most mag
nificent operations of mining are de-
pendent upon the compressed air rock
drill. 1t has the additional advantage
nf furnishing supply of pure air for
the men to breathe. In coal mining
queer-looking machines are used to a
great extent. The miners, who regard
them as sort of uncanny thing, call
them the Iron men" Placed on an in
clined platform at the bottom of tun-
tel, they are, with two helpers, said TO
do the work of ten men. The machines
themselves are among the strangest-
looking things ever set on wheels. The
compressed air locomotive has been
found valuable contrivance in mines
too low for the use of mules. Two long
reservoirs, pair of cylinders and set
of wheels make up the compressed air
locomotive.

ton to compressed air by building dy.

pressed air is used instead Of powder
from the fact that any attempt to fire
dynamite out of a cannon with pow

destruction to the gunners than to tht
enemy. The government cruiser We.

No subject Is Of greater coming I'm
portahee to mechanical engineers and
transportation companies than the com
paratite merits Of electricity and Of
compressed air as motive powers. To
speak OF either as motive powers is in
a technical sense an error, for both ere
rather the means Of storage and trans
hitting power, than Of originating 1t.
In this sense, the term motive power
will be used, although technically the
words are not strictly accurate.
Compressed air as a power for street
railways has made its way against the
active opposition Of the electrical ell
gineers. The controversy has been
long snd bitter. In spite of its oppo-
meats, compressed air has made marked

tramways, notably in the suburbs of
Paris, and in the Swiss mountain town
of Berne, where it has shown itself to
be economical and effective. In the
United States, air as power for street
cars is in the experimental stage. 1t
has been tried in Toledo with salts
factory results. The Metropolitan Trac-
ton company, of New York, has shown
its faith in air by ordering seven cars
equipped with compressed air motors
for use on its elevated line. Within
two years, the company has planned to
extend the use of air to all of its cross
town lines.
Another company to look with favor
on air as a power is the Manhattan ele-
waited, of New York. 1t has ordered
locomotive to be run by compressed air
on its lines, as means of giving this
means of propulsion a thorough trial.

THE METHOD OF A GREAT
TREATMENT FOR WEAK
NESS OF MEN.
WHICH CURED HIM AFTER Ev-
ERYTHlN(H ELSE FAILED.

Painful diseases are bad enough but when
a man is slowly wasting away with nervous
weakness, the mental forebodings are ten
times worse than the most severe pain. There
is no let UP to the mental suffering day or
night, Sleep is almost impossible and under
such strain men are scarcely responsible for
what they do. For years the writer rolled
and tossed on the troubled sea of sexual weak
ness until it was a question whether he had
not better take dose of poison and thus end
all his troubles. But providential inspiration
came to his aid in the shape of q combination
of medicines that not only completely re-
stored the general health, but enlarged his
weak, emaciated parts to natural size and
vigor, and he now declares that any man who
will take the trouble to send his name and
address may have the method of this wonder
full treatment free. Now when say free
mean absolutely without cost, because want
every weakened man to get the benefit of my
experience.
/ am not philanthropist, nor do pose as
an enthusiast, but there are thousands of men
suffering the mental fortunes of weakened
manhood who would be cured at once could
they but get such remedy as the one that
cured me. Do not try to study out how | can
afford to pay the few postage stamps neces-
sary to mail the information, but send for it,
and learn that there are few things on earth
that although they cost nothing to get they
are worth fortune to some men and mean a
lifetime Of happiats IS to most of us. Write to
Thomas Slater, Box sos, Kalamazoo, Mich
and the information will be mailed in plain

You practically issued an invitation for
them to come and get the wheel at the

Didn't you ride your wheel home I'M

still seeding down wild oats.
"Of course l did. l save car fare and
get needed exercise at the same time. 1
think enough of my bike to take care of it,

Rucker tried to sheer and carry the thing
off with a high head, but in an hour he
was wild man. He notified the police de-

hastily accosted by stern looking man:
Let me take that wheel a minute. One
