A BALLOON RAILROAD.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The mCst remarkable railway in the
world has for its motive power not steam
or electricity, but a balloon. Stranger
still. the official stamp of approval has
Just been put upon this most marvellous
railroad, which goes to and from the sum
init of Hochstauffen mountain, at Bad
Reichenhall, the we'll known watering
place i'm the Austrian Alps The Aeros-
tatic railway-to give 1t its correct desig-
nation--owes its inception to the well
known inventor, Herr Nolderaued, who
had long ago convinced the experts that
his scheme was perfectly feasible and
safe. A single rail guides the cars, and
keeps the balloon with its load captive,
the cars gripping tho rail at the sides and
underr cath the flange. At about every
fifteen feet the iiae is firmly anchored.
In descending the mountain, of course.
gravity is the propelling force, water
ballast being taken aboard at the upper
end to counter-balance the buoyancy Of
the balloon, The cock on the water Ia 1K
of the car can be onened by the operator
at any time. The tank carries about 500
pounds of water. and tank and car to-
gether weigh about 600 pounds. The bal
loon is siXty-seven feet IN diameter, and
exerts n lifting capacity of something
over II 900 pounds. Weights. also. can be
taken aboard and discharged Ht the vail
Gus stations along the line. At the loot
| of the track are the gas tank and genera
| tor. Tie summit of the Hochstauffen Of
| fers a sublmely beautiful view, but be-
| fore the advent of the Aerostatic railway
| the climb was both long and tedious. IL
was only attempted BY experienced
mountaincors.

The First rencups.
From the jewelers. Circular.

Even after tea was introduced into Eu-
rope. and had come into general use,
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced. but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as i6i5 in
Venice, 1853 in Paris, 1862 in London and
1894 in Leipsic. From the first, however,
the conventional oriental coffee cup, with
out stem or handle, was little used, and
in Germany not at all. The Chinese tea
cup was used for tea, coffee and choco-
late as well. Specimens of porcelain were
undoubtedly introduced into Europe In
the middle ages, yet not till the six
teenth century were cups imported from
China in any great quantities. and even
then it was as articles of vertu. Most of
those found their way back into China
again, as collecting porcelain is a last
ing fad there. and high prices are paid
for good specimens. The collections Of
Chinese porcelain, If only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires immense
study and knowledge. as the chinese are
skillful imitators and put numerous fdisi-
fications on the market.

have been circulating an alleged puri
fer that they said was compounded
by Mr.. Terppe. and as the respected
druggist has filled prescriptions for al
most every family of this section for
years, the ccncoction sold rapidly.
The fakirs entered a house, stating
that Mr.. Terppe had personally sent
them to the place, to sell his great
medicine. Invariably a sale was made
ard the unsuspecting were told that
when the bottle was used that another
could he purchased at Terppe's drug
store, or as many as We're wanted.
Yesterday as many as ten women went
tG the drug store and asked for a bot
tie of "Terppe's medicine as we bought
from an agent"
Upon investigation Mr.. Terppe dis
covered how his reputation was being
nsed. The police have been notified
and strict outlook will be kept on the
fakirs today.

There seems to be a more general
and concerted movement among West
Scranton's councilmanic representa-
tives toward improving conditions on
this side. Much of the legislation en-
acted by councils recently has had for
its direct purpose improvements Of
some kind on this side. The most III
rect one was the resolution which hn-
came active by the mayors signature
Monday. The Scranton Street Rail-
way company is directed to remove
their SHETLAND street tracks from the
centre of the street to the northerly
side. After this is done, a better
grade established and consequently
letter drainage afforded, the continual
ANNOYANCE of this streets condition
will be in a large measure removed.
Another resolution of considerable
import 10 residents and property own
ers is the one directing an estimate to
be made Of the cost of "a sewer to be
laid on Railroad avenue from the Third
district main to Emmett street This
will greatly advance property in value
and also the health OF the community
affected.
Much interest is also centered in the
outcome of the street commissioner S
| investigation of the Hyde Park ave-
nue. sewer as upon his report in a large
measure depends whether the Hyde
| Park avenue pave is laid this year or
not.
Though nothing has been done as yet,
everything is ready for the building
of the ravine sewer on the southerly
side of the Mt. Pleasant culvert on
North Main avenue. When this Is
finally accomplished another long need
ed and much asitated improvement will
have been added to the list.
