many robberics take place in the South as

This new car Is SO arranged that rs soon
as a rpbber gets to meddling around the
doors a perfect fusiladc of shot is turned
loose and the car is filled with sulphurous
acid and other deadly poisons. Special
precautions are taken for the protection
of the agent or messenger. The car Is
said to be a secret, SO far as the construc-
tion and operation OF II IN concerned. so
that even the messenger In case OF a
robbery does not know how he will be pro
tected.

An Odd Controversy,


The strangest possibility of armed
conflict that the United States has
known is impending in northwestern
Colorado, on the Wyoming border. The
land is fit for little but grazing; the
,cattlemen desire It az a range for their
herds, while some sheepmen insist that
their foolss shall Craze there. The cat
tie are satisfied with grass, whether
green or dry, but the sheep are said to
nip the grass roots below the surface
probably because the cattle have left
nothing but roots. There have been
some compromises and agreements, all
of which were soon broken, so now the
two interests are arrayed against each
other, to the extent of several hundred
men organized and armed like military
companies, and each little army is de-
termined thst the other, with its ami
mails, shah go. To complete the oddly
of the situation, the land in dispute
does not belong to either of the parties,
but to the United States, the cattlemen
and sheepmen being alike squatterss--

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

1T may interest those who love to
compare man with monkeys to know
that the latter frequently get horribly
seacick when taken on the ocean.
The mineral water industry of this
country gives employment to close up
on 100000 men, and upwards of 6 3d.
100000 of capital is invested in it.
The prime of life of man of reg
ular habits and sound constitution is
from 30 to IS years of age; of a woman,
from "a or 25 to about 40 years of age.
1t is estimated that the total
amount of gold actually in circulation
consists approximately of s45,0o0,ooo
in sovereigns and e17,50o,ooo in half
sovereigns, or total of 6 60, 100000.
The appropriation for the New
York police department for the year
1897, as authorized by the board of es-
innate and apportionment in the pro-
visional allowance, is $6,9S1, $50, as
against S5,925,41O for this year, an in
crease of more than 81 100000. The sum
asked for by the department was $780,
600 more than this allowance.
TO elevate packages from one floor
to another without the necessity of
stopping to unload, an Illinois man has
designed mechanism having an end
less chain of fitting platforms operated
by levers. As the platform rises past
the operator he places the package on
it and sets the lever to trip the platform
and slide the package Off at any floor
he desires, the returning platforms be-
ing used in the same manner for carry
ing packages downward.
Two wheels are used in q trolley
designed by Missouri man. the idea
being that both wheels are not apt to
Jump from the wire at the same time:
also that the trolley can pass cutout
or cross wire without the necessity of
cutting off the current from the car, as
one wheel is always in contact with
the wire. The trolley pole is connected
half way between the two wheels by a
rocking swivel. Another trolley has o
single wheel and tits sidewise, for the
same purpose as the first one.
