lt is believed says the Mexican Herald. hat George Gould has his eyes fixed on the Mexican National railroad, with the intention of buying it and changing it to a standard gauge. He owns the controlling in- terest in the Wabash, the Missouri Pacific and the International and Great Northern, and with the addi- tion of the Mexican National, would own a straight and direct line from Mexico to Buffalo. With the Ma tional change to standard gauge and other needed improvements made, and having the short and direct con nection with the short roads in the Gould system. he would, practically, control Mexican traffic to eastern points.

TWO KINDS oE PEOPLE.

There are two kinds of people on earth to-
day,
just two kinds of people--no more, say.
Not the sinner and saint, for It's well un-
derstood
The good are half bad and the bad are half
good.
Not the rich and the poor, for in counting
mans wealth
You must first know the state OF his con-
science and health.
Not the humble and proud, for In life'r lit
tie span
Who puts on vain airs is not counted man.
Not the happy and sad, for the swiftdying
years
Bring each man his laughter and each man
his tears.
No; the two kinds of people on earth
mean
Are the people who lift and the people who
lean.
wherever you go you will find che worlds
masses
Are always divided IN just these two
classes;
And. oddly enough, you will find, too.
ween,
There is only one litter to twenty who lean.
In which class are you? Are you easing
the load
or overtaxed lifters who toll down the
road?
Or are you a leaner, who let's others bear
Your portion OF labor and worry and care?

Counterfeiters' Outfit Found in Canal.
Canal Dover, April 16.-It is believed
that the mysterious passage of coun-
terfeit money, mostly half dollars, has
been partially cleared up by the find
ing of a complete outfit of counterfeit
ers' tools just west of Port Washing
ton, near here. When the levee of the
canal near there was destroyed by the
recent flood and the water drained off
afterward, the workmen found in the
canal bed kit of counterfeiters' tools
for the making of silver coins in 81 and
5O-cent denominations. 1t is now
thought that the operators became
frightened lest they should be caught
and dumped their tools in the canal.

My Dear Sir: 1 send you herewith the re-
suits in detail of my investigation of the
efficiency of your chainless wheel No COB,
which was referred to in the article on the
Overman dynamometer published in The
American Wheelman," December %, 1897,
as affording an efficiency of only 1873 per
cent. at 81 pounds pedal pressure and
about five miles per hour. The substance
of the detailed report is as follows:
The wheel was tested by me In connec-
tion with your engineers before II was sent
to Chicopee, and found to he fully equal
in efficiency to your best chain wheels.
After its return from Chicopee l examined
the wheel and found 1t badly out of adjust
ment. Upon readjustment it showed sub
stantially the same efficiency as those at
the first test and, under conditions as
nearly as possible those believe to have
existed in connection with the Overman
test, its efficiency was 49, Z per cent
My tests were all made with the Webb
dynamometer and with the assistance
of your engineers. This apparatus, which
is extremely accurate and delicate, is ex-
planned in detail in my report to you which
was published In the Iron Age" of October
Il, 1897.
Regarding the Overman dynamometer L
know but little, as your request that
might be allowed to witness Mr.. Overman's s
,ests was not acceded to by him.
Very respectfully.
