ICE LOCOMOTIVE.
Inventor Believes That He Can
Reach Not Only Klondike
But North Pole With II.

One Of the most curious Of the many
ideas with which the Klondike has in
spired inventive genius is the ice loco
motive and train designed by J. 4
Mulkey. Of Pasadena, Cal. Mr.. Mulkey
believes his plan to be entirely feasible
80 much so, in fact, that he is try
dng to get patent.
Mr.. Mu1key sees no reason why the
Klondike traveller should leave all lux
ury behind. and in response to re-
quest to explain his idea, writes as
follows:
THE original plans contemplated a
complete palace car equipment. Owing
to diversity of reports concerning the
conditions of ice on the Yukon-many
claiming 1t Is very rough and that
such a train could not be successfully
operated-I have been forced to so
slow in preparing for the enterprise.
In the meantime opened UP extensive
correspondence on the subject, and am
now fully satisfied the cars would over
come any difficulty to be met with on
the Yukon below Dawson.
II find that the rough ice is mainly
above Dawson. In the meantime, the
great scarcity OF provisions at Daw-
son proves that freight and not pas
senger trains are most needed. Ny
full size locomotive is designed TO De
IS feet long and 10 feet wide, CON-
structed as shown in the illustration.
This engine alone would be capable
of carrying quite number of passen-
gers and several tons of freight. Ny
idea now is to build only one or two
small locomotives. 26 feet long and
nine feet wide. purely to demonstrate

are dozens Of them. I do not refer to
the periodical dinners of clubs organ
ized solely or principally for dinners,
but to dinners as forma! as the ban
quets given al such famous establish
ments as Delmonico's and the Waldorf
Astoria.
Undoubtedly such dinners are a good
thing in more ways than one. They
make for the amenities in surprising
degree. They increase the speaking
confidence of every one who responds
to a toast. and thus increase the num-
Der of those who can 'talk on their
feet at short notice. One man of my
acquaintance who was thrown lnro
genuine cold terror when asked to
speak at a dinner held near the begin
ming of the winter has since that time
developed into remarkably entertain
ing after-dinner talker, and some OF the
reported toast responses at the cur
rent Klondike dinners would not be dis
creditable to the most polished after
dinner speakers in the entire country.
EAST SIDE DINNERS.
The dinner clubs of the East Side are
among New York's most curious in
stitutions. Their members are often
business men who like a little bohe-
mianism occasionally, and organiza
solely for the purpose OF monthly
meal unconventionally served and fol-
lowed by such entertainments as East
Side denizens delight in.
At the dinner of one club OF this sort,
beef-steak cut in strips about the size
of two fingers, fresh light bread. and
old ale are the only refreshments pro-
vided. Neither knives. nor forks. nor
plates are allowed The beef must be
eaten from the fingers, which are pro-
tected from the juices Of the meat by
bits of bread only, and it is disgrace
to either clubman or guest to stop eat
ing till all the steak prepared has been
consumed.
The singers and recStatfonists. al
ways men, that furnish the entertain
menIt are unlike any Others in the wide,
wide world, and their ballads and "se-
lections" are sometimes the reverse of
refined, though rarely or never vicious.
and always broadly humorous. It is
not at all unusual for the participants ts
in such a dinner as I have in mind,
costing a dollar a head and served in
the sitting back room of some cheap
East Side saloon, TO include half a
dozen men whose bank accounts are ex-
ceedingly fat and whose rent rolls run
away up into the tens of thousands.

capable of travelling it's entire length.
The beam is pitched at a sufficient
angle to allow the carriage to run in
one direction by means of gravity, and
the single hosting rope on the barrel
of the winch serves to operate the car
riage and hoist the load. The rope from
the drum is led about a sheave-wheel

or of facilities for coaling. Among the
early experiments looking towards i'm
provements in coaling at sea are those
made with the u. S. S. San Francisco
and the u. S. S. Kearsage. These two
vessels, while steaming, 200 feet apart,
at a speed of four knots per hour,
transferred coal from one to the other.
The appliance employed consisted of a
cable stretched from a high point in the
trailing boat to "a lower point in the
towing vessel An elevator was en-
ployed to raise sacks of coal on the
Kearsage, which was the trailing boat,
and they We're allowed to run by grav-
ity ON a light trolley along the sus-
pended cable until they reached the
San Francisco. The record made at
that time showed a possibility of thus
transferring fifteen tons of coal per
hour. although no such amount was
ever actually delivered.

A few years later experiments were
made by the British Admiralty on this
question of coaling. They did not at
tempt to take coal from a trailing ves-
SELL but from one alongside at dis
tance of from twenty to thirty feet. Of
course it was necessary for such coal
