Another Contribution to the Air Motor
Controversy.

Another Contribution to the Air Motor
Controversy.
The lexington Railroad Company, through
Receiver Schoepf. late Saturday afternoon
submitted a reply to the report Of the En-
gineer Commissioner concerning the opera
ton o. the air motor. After careful con-
sideration of the reply Commissioner Black
is still dissatisfied with the proof furnished
by the company that the air motor is a
satisfactory motive power for the road, and
the company will be given another and final
opportunity of furnishing the necessary
evidence.
In the report furnished Saturday the re-
ceiver submits a letter from II. H. Vree-
land president of the Metropolitan Street
Railway Company. testifying to the satis-
factory operation of the air motor in New
York The report continues, crfticising the
report Of the engineers, and considerable
space is devoted to refuting the charge Of
the expense necessary for the introduction
Of the system.
There is little new in the report. 1t being
made ND mostly OF former arguments in
favor Of the air motor.

G"S AAnu HetinK Estimates for FOur
swift Armored Cruisers.
Information has reached the NAVY De.
partment that the British naval author.
ities have caused supplemental estimates
to be prepared for the construction of four
nrst-class swift armored cruisers Of 11,s5O
tons displacement. similar in general de-
sign to the U.S.S. Brooklyn and New York
The first lord of the admiralty is credited
with saying that the new ships have been
made necessary by the presence of fleet ar
m6red ships beth in Europe and the Cnited
States, while the British service has none
OF this class equal to the Brooklyn. The
British navy has heretofore relied upon its
second-class LATHE ships to fll the gan
between battle ships and protected cruisers.
While these ships are well protected and
armed. yet they lack, Chief Naval Con-
structor Hichborn says. the speed Of fast
armored cruisers like the Brooklyn The
latter vessel, with full coal supply. has a
displacement Of $50 tons: the new Brit
ism ships are to have II. $50 TONS This win
mean. he says. slightly more armor. pre-
hsps. and larger coal supply.

Auditor Castle Objects.

The auditor of the Post Office Depart-
ment has filed an objection to the quarters
which have been assigned him and his force
in the new city post office building, and
this will be considered by the Secretary.
The supervising architect will make a re-
port on the protest. The chief objection of
Auditor Castle is that his own office and
that of his employees will be too much sep
arated. Mr.. Castles Office was fixed on the
second floor His working force was given
the offices on the eighth floor and part, of
those on the seventh. Mr.. Castle also COM
plains that he has not been allowed SUM-

Something TO Know.

1t may be worth something TO know
that the very best medicine for restor.
ing the tired out nervous system to q
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centres in the
stomach, gently stimulates the liver
and kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digestion, and is pronounced by
those who have tried it rs the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

picted. In the reign of George III
brides usually removed the ring from
Its proper abiding place to the thumb
as soon as the ceremony was over. In
Spain the gilt of a ring is looked upon
as a promise of marriage and is con.
sidered sufficient proof for a maiden
to claim her husband. 1t is a custom
to pass little pieces of brides cake
through the wedding ring, and those
to whom these pieces are given place
them under their pillows at night to
dream of their lovers. These dream.
ers, as they are called, should be
drawn nine times through the ring.
Many brides. however, are 80 super
stitious that neither for that purpose
nor at any other time will they take
the ring off their finger after it has
once been placed Observation-Disclosures
