A Tiny Train.

The diminutive train which forms
the subject Of this illustration, says
the Scientific American, was construct
ed by Thomas E. McGarigle of Niagara
Fails, who claims that it is the small
est train ever built for the conveyance
OF passengers in seated cars. 1t was
built for use in the grounds of the
transmlssissippi and international ex-
position at Omaha, the space devoted
to the miniature railroad being located
In the main thoroughfare, where it ex-
tends for over 1000 feet.
The greatest interest naturally cen
tiers in the locomotive, which is in
every respect a faithful reproduction
OF the parts and working of a full
sized passenger locomotive. It is OF
the standard eight-wheeled American
type, with a leading truck, four cou-
pied drivers and tender carried on
two trucks. The gauge of the track
is twelve and one-half inches, the top
OF the smokestack is twenty-five inch
es above the rails, and the total length
from the point Of the pilot to the end
OF the tender is seven feet three inch
es. Steam to drive the little fellow
Is raised in wagon-top boiler ten
inches in diameter. This boiler is
built Of steel and was tested to 3OO
pounds pressure to the square inch.
The fittings of the locomotive are all
complete, and include sand box, bell,
whistle and even a steam brake be-
tween the drivers. The engineer has
to utilize the whole tender as foot
place, and he must, perforce, remain at
all times seated in order to get at the
throttle, reversing lever, etc. The ten
der is of the two-truck type. It's wheels
are five inches in diameter and its ca
pacity is fifteen gallons of water.
Passengers are carried in the two
seated cars of the design shown in the

"A Mouse Motor

1t has become the fashion among
enterprising traders to attract atten-
ton to their shop windows by the ex-
hibition of some moving object, gen.
orally actuated by clockwork. A dis
tinctly novel idea in this direction is
that recently adopted by certain
American bicycle dealers, who have
succeeded admirably in not only at
tracing attention to their wares, but
in showing at the same time the per-

show, in brief, how the wheel of a
cycle may be driven by mouse power.
The bicycle is either attached to a
frame or hung to the ceiling-so that
the front wheel is clear OF the ground
and can run easily. Just above the ton

head of the machine Is mouse cage

Snakes Eyes Always. Open.

One of the most curious facts with
regard to snakes is that their eyes
are never closed. Sleeping or wax
ing, alive or dead. they are always
wide open. This is because there are
no eyelids. The eye is protected only
by a strong scale, which forms a part
of the epidermal envelope, and is cast
off in a piece with that every time
the reptile molts. This eyeplate is as
clear and transparent as glass. and
allows the most perfect vision, while
at the same time it so hard and tough
as TO perfectly protect the delicate
organ within from the thorns and
twigs among which, in flight from enc
mics or in pursuit of prey. the rep
tile so often hurriedly grides, as any
close observer Of the habits of the
snake can readily discover.

Raising Sunken Vessels.

The attempts to float the sunken
Spanish warships has taxed the minds
of the best engineers in the country.
Cylinders full of air have been attach
ed to the ships and air bags have been
applied, receptacles containing COM
pressed air have been placed inside of
the ships until they could hold no
more. This is done at low tide; then
pontoons are attached and, as the tide
rises, the entire wreck is lifted from
the sea bottom and may be removed at
pleasure. In working on some of the
enormously heavy ships, however, it
has been found that the decks and
framework were not sufficiently strong
to stand the tremendous pressure, but
will burst upwards, completely de-
stroying the body of the ship! Fame
and fortune await the inventor who
will arrange an appliance by means of
which the larger ships can be safely
raised. The methods now employed are
amply strong for smaller craft but al
most utterly useless for the heavier
types. One of the most feasible plans
is the employment of hollow metal CYL
inders filled with compressed air.
These must be small and easily attach
ed to the ship. A number of small
ones are of much more value than a
few large ones. Where it is possible
to pull a cable under the ship. the
work of attaching these cylinders is
much simplifed. One admirable sug-
gestion is the enclosing of the hull in
a cage or netting made of strong wire
or cables. This netting is fastened to
pontoons which form continuous line
around the hull. To the netting or
cage the small air cylinders may be at
tached at frequent intervals; in fact,
the entire bottom as far as it can be
reached may be packed with them,
each fastened independently of the
others to the cage. Adjusted at the
lowest tide the rising of the water will
furnish lifting power most prodi-
gious, while the rocking of the struc-
ture will assist in working the hull
loose at the bottom.
