facturers that they must wake up to

feet after the brakes have been applied,
no great harm beyond the breaking OF Il
limb could be done by this street tossing
i'm front of the automatic brush.
The brush. curling outward slightly.
sweeps the debris to "a place outside the
car track. So evenly does it work that a
long. even ridge of street refuse lies along
each side. while the tracks between the
rails are clear and clean. The great adj
vantage of this i'm street cleaning is that
the sweepers do not need to touch their
brooms at any point between the rails.
and. consequently. they neither have to
look out for the street cars nor to delay
them. for their work all lies in a place of
safety.
In the rear of this ingenious car there is
a sprinkler This is filed with water, and
can carry from 20 to 100 gallons. But. by
a simple device. the SPRINGER is arranged
so that only the highest spray escapes.
This is just sufficient to settle the dust
which the brush i'm front has raised. Yet
il is not enough to annoy street pedes-
trims When the car stops, by an auto
matte device the sprinkler closes, and
passengers alighung or getting into the
car suffer no Inconvenience.
Theoretically the constant raising or
dust i'm the streets and constant sprink-
ling would be an insu0erable nuisance, one
not to be tolerated in any busy town.
Practically there is no such trouble.

BIG MARINE BICYCLE RACE.
Styles MaTon Stakes a Cigar Shaped
Water Wheel Against the World.

There have been more marine bicy-
cles invented since the beginning of
81 than in the whole previous history
az the world. Patents for no less than
twenty-five were granted during Janu-
airy. The sport of bicycling is so great
that the earth is not large enough TO
contain the enthusiasm OF bicycle de-
voices: and they are looking 10 the
water for further means Of carrying on
their sport.
The attachment Of q bicycle appara-
tus 10 a boat is not such a difficult task.
and Of the many inventors who have
tried it recently most have met with
good success. Each claims some SUI
perior point for his own machine. But
STYLES +. MaXon. of Portland Ne. has
2 marine bicycle which he openly
stakes against the world. He has pat
ented il and wagers it TO beat anything
that navigates the water in bicycle
form.
This marine bicycle is cigar shaped.
II consists of an aluminium cylinder ten
feet long. tapering towards each end.
Underneath il. buried in the water, IS
large keel precisely like that Of a rae
ing yacht.
There is regular bicycle machinery
attached to the cigar-shaped craft. a
large sprocket wheel, housing for the
snrccl,et chain and a simple driving
mechanism all correspond closely to the
land wheel.
The rider occupies a seat upon the top

than in the ordinary process of street
sweeping and brushing.
The secret in the marvellous improve
mcnt in the air Of the street. AS caused by
these Observation-Disclosures cars. IS this: The
first car raises all the dust and sweeps it
TO one side. where the street cleaners
gather it and cart It away. The sprinkler
on the back OF the car lays the super
nuous dust The others ears. as they
whizz past. have little dust upon which
to work. They simply keep the street
clean as left by the others. The constant
brushing keeps the little dust pushed
aside without much disturbance, and the
steady sprinkling keeps down the dust.
That is the way it works.
Small automtic appliances can he work
cd TO stop the brush from revolving and to
lift It slightly from the street if it should
not be needed: and the same appliance
works with the sprnklng apparatus,
which can he shut off quickly by the con-
ductor or motorman.
In time of snow this stiff revolving
brush keeps the car tracks free from
drifts. making a snow blockade an impos-
sbility: and i'm sleety weather it is still
more Ndludb+ts ffS us NulOh .ltNOlNNAbilE
brush the water from the tracks too
quickly to allow it to form into sheets Of
ice. In summers dust and dirt it sup
plies the cry for street sprinkling.
Whether the cars will be in use or not
is question. but they are certainly very
ingenious arrangements. fulfilling in one
small street car the purposes of carrying
passengers, of street cleaning. street
sprinking, and at the same time provid-
ing a life saving fender.
on Mr.. Hosea's car there IS n separate
apartment for the motorman. When this
compartment is added TO the street-clean-
ing car and the complete model made
there will he street contrivance that is
the most highly useful of any yet imas-

DARK HORSE NAY BE
TO SUCCEED e. WINTER IN THE
PRESIDENCY OF THE NORTH
ERN PACIFIC.
NOT TO BE DANIEL S. LAMONT.
INDEED THE LATEST STORY is
THAT SOME NEW BLOOD WILL
BE INFUSED
INTO THE ROADS MANAGEMENT.
Who the New Man VIII Be, How
ever, Is as Yet Dark
Secret.
NOT TO BE DANIEL S. LAMONT.
INTO THE ROADS MANAGEMENT

News from New York regarding the
election of a successor to E. w. Win
ter, the retiring president of the
Northern Pacific road, was looked fer
all day yesterday by those people who
have followed the run Of events, but
the day ended with no meeting of the
interested parties in whose hands rests
the naming Of the new executive.
Several private kilograms were re-
ceiVed here which would seem to in
dictate that conditions for holding this
meeting are not quite ripe, although
the opinion is expressed that it has
been decided who will be put in charge
of the road.
One message had it that there was
halt in the arrangement for putting
into executive control those who were
in harmony with the Great Northern
interests, and that this fact had
caused a slight drop in Northern Pa
cific stocks.
The trend Of opinion is that Daniel
Lamont is not to be made president Of
the road, but that the new president
has been practically agreed upon, and
that the plans which have been kept
i
have gone so far and are so nearly
perfected that the leading official of a
well known railroad system in the
East has been proffered the position
and has signified his willingness TO be
elected. Railroaders and financiers,
who are in the inner circle, say that
the election, when it is announced,
will be a genuine surprise to every
body, as the gentleman's name has
hardly been thought Of save by those
who will elect him. His name IS
known to few men in st. Paul in this
connection, but this city will have a
chance to know him personally, as it
! is stated that he will personally direct
the operation of the road from St.
Paul
Gossip has it that the meeting to
name Mr.. Winters successor will be
held in New York on Monday, or not
later than Tuesday.

ELK RATES SPREADING.
Rock Island Makes IA Reduction to
Meet Competition.

CHICAGO, June 25.-The rate reductions
on account of the meeting of the Elks in
Minneapolis continue to spread. The Rock
Island today announced that it will make
a rate of $40 for the round trip between
Kansas City and Minneapolis. Regular rate is
$14.5O. In making the rate the Rock Island
announced that it did so for the purpose of
meeting competition. The name of the road
which had first made the reduction was not
named, but the Rock Island has for a
long time been one of the most ardent sup
porters of the policy of upholding rates, it is
not likely that il would cut them without
ample provocation.
The Great Western has announced that it
reduced it's rate to meet that of the Flint &
Pere Marquette for the meeting of the Elks
in Minneapolis because that road was claim
ing that it should be allowed to have a
differential. Its rate is lower than the agreed
rate by just the amount Of the differential
which it has always claimed and which the
Western roads have never allowed. The
Great Western. which is opposed to the grant
ing of differentials. and refused one for it
self on Chicago and st. Paul business with
in the last ten days. is determined that the
Pere Marquette shall not have any differen-
tial, and declares that it will meet any
rates that it makes for any business which
the Great Western has chance of reaching.

DANGER IS DETECTED.
Tuberculosis Is Spreading Among
Wisconsin Cattle.

Wisconsin Cattle.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 25.-The
state board Of health has decided to
make a vigorous attack on the tuber-
culoSis baccii which have been MAX
ing inroads on the cattle of Wisconsin.
Thus the members expect to decrease
the danger of a spread of the disease
among human beings This action was
taken at the boards semi-annual meet
ing today at the Plankinton house.
o. Sutherland, of GAINESVILLE, were ap-
pointed a committee to prepare some
plan by which the disease can be COM
bated.
tuberculosis is spreading among the
cattle of the state" said DR.. Wingate,
land the members of the board feel
that something must be done to fight
the disease. We are not in favor Of
asking the legislature for any meas
ures on the subject if possible, and
shall try to devise some plan by which
the spread Of the disease can be ar
rested, without resOrting to law. If
: the facts can be laid before the dairy
men and farmers of Wisconsin I be-
1ieve they can be induced to cooperate
with the efforts to stamp it out. A
large number of cattle are suffering
from this disease, and It is quickly
communicated, from one animal to an
other. A gDeat many people get the
disease from drinking the milk of the
Infested cattle, and if the diseased cat
tie fcSulds be; Killed. the danger to the
public would be- greatly lessened. The
greatest danger from the milk of the
infected cattle is to children
