A Washington correspondence of the Phila-
delphia Telegraph was recently looking
at some models IN the National Museum of
curious cars used IN the early days of rail
reading in this country, when Mr. Watkins,
the curator, pointed out one particular one
that had mast and SAIL Experiments with
such cars were made on the Baltimore Il
Ohio road and on the South Carolina road.
1t was then a serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
corse or steam. The steam locomotive
was still looked upon as an experiment.
Sail cars are used to-day on a guano rail-
7oad on the island of Maiden, in the south
Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer
home than that for railroad men at Bar
negat beach, when the wind is favorable,
frequently ride over the road on con
struction cars -sloop-rigged. 1.-THE wind
has good deal to do with railroading even
to-day" Mr.. Watkins said. If you go to the
bureau of intelligence at the Broad street
station, Philadelphia, and ask whether some
train, say from New York, is likely to be on
time, you may be informed that it is likely
to be four or five minutes late, because
there is a strong wind from the west. Winds
make considerable difference il the rup
ming time Of trains.

wardbound train The passenger list of
yesterdays through train included about
200 men bound for the gold aelds and lUO
dogs.
Most of those bound for the Klondike
are young men, but there are a few gray
headed enthusiasts among them. Many of
them are from the far East, and there are
delegations from Ohio, Illinois and other
middle states A railroad man who
came into Helena yesterday on the
Pacific express said that 80 percent
of the Klondikers Travelled armed,
and many of them, exhibited their
weapon In true Buffalo Bill style.
They seemed TO think that as they
were in the wild West it would be advis-
able to have their trusty sixshooters at
hand ready on the instant to repel an at
tack of train robbers
I'm one car alone" said the railroad
man, there were about thirty men who
wore big Colt revolvers In scabbards at
tached to harness under their arms.
Nearly every one of them also had big
huntlng-knive stuck in their belts. The
weapons were all bright and shiny, and
made an imposing array If the train had
been going the other way, one would
easily have imagined a filibustering expe-
dltion on the way to liberate Cuba. think
from the way some of them talked they
rather looked for the train to be held up,
and were almost wishing for the adyen-
ure. These men exhibited their weapons
i'm the way that might be expected of Wild
Bill, the king of the plains They would
get off when the train stopped and walk
up and down the platform with their big
guns and knives IN plain view. They were
on parade, and 1t did them good to walk
through large crowds at the more import
ant stations. These fellows and their ar
senals were never parted. They actually
slept with their pistols and their knives
/ strapped to them
Now, l suppose that the armament of
those men must have cost each of them
in the neighborhood of $50. Some of them
had rifles as well as revolvers, and saw
one man with a shotgun. Although they
had expended so much for guns, they did
not waste any money on the dining car
Nearly every Klopdiker on the train either
brought HIS provisions with him or ate at
stations along the line. And they had no
money to spend for sleeping car bertns,
either. Perhaps they were only inuring
themselves to the hardships they propose
TO subject themselves to on their way to
the gold fields"

GREATEST BATHS IN THE WORLD
No Baths i'm Ancient Rome Ever Com
pared with Them
From the Philadelphia Times.

Aoiil thE lines.
The erection and final completion of the
Sutro Baths of San Francisco constitute
a worthy ending to the long and wonder
full career Of Adolph sutro, now closed by
the failure of his giant intellect.
No baths of ancient Rome were ever
comparable to them in size, grandeur. or
extent. The greatest of the old world. when
the Empire was at its zenith of power and
magnihcence. are dwarfed by comparison
with this creation OF the same mind that
conceived and carried into execution the
Sutro tunnel on the Comstock lode in Ne
vada.
The origin of these baths furnishes
chapter in the history of engineering of
unique interest. Sitting on a rock over
looking the sea, close by his Cliff house
famous the world over. Mr.. Sutro unused
upon ways and means of utilizing the
great power of the sea dashing in upon
the crags and flooding the hollows of the
shore. The construction of these baths IS
the realization of Adolph Sutro's dream,
the concrete expression of thought that
was pregnant with future achievement
By basin scooped out of solid rock the
ocean has been harnessed to the will of the
builder, for the sea is dashed into it with
every surging of the waves. From this ba-
sin the salt water is conducted to a set
Ting tank. from which it passes, through
various small canals, into the mammoth
swimming tanks.
The tanks are enclosed in a structure
skirting the edge of the shore, rising in
land, in three successive nights, giving
( the outward aspect of three roofs, each
higher than the other. The entire build
ing is of steel, iron and glass, giving a
wonderful effect of light and airness The
six bathing or swimming tanks are near
est to the sea and the surf without is at
all times visible from within the build
ing The largest tank contains sea water
in its normal state. and the others are
heated to various temperatures, TO suit
the requirements of all. The longest tank
is $50 feet in length and L-shaped being
$50 feet wide at its greatest width, and $50
feet in Its narrowest. The baths are sup
piled by the ocean direct, but pumping IA
cilities are provided, i'm case of a failure
of the tides, by which water can be fore
ed in at the rate of 5000 gallons per Mir
ute.
The empting of the tanks required won
derful ingenuity, so that return of wa
ter once used might be avoided Refuse
water in the main outlet, receiving the
contents of all the tanks, is pped hun
dreds of feet to the other side of the
headlands, thence passing into the tidal
current and far away from the baths.
On the inland side of the tanks rises
the vast amphitheater; tier upon tier of
seats rising higher and higher, though
from each and all of them a commanding
view of the swimming tanks is obtained.
Forty tub bath rooms are also provided
for those who are less active. The grea,
buildings also contain a museum gallery
Here are found mummies curlosities Of
all kinds from old Egypt, curios from
the marts of Damascus, from China, ia

nal state papers of the times of the

sortment not 10 be matched outside OF
England. Other wonderful features or
the operating plant are the great engines
and boiler room. There is also a laun-
dry, the limit of whose capacity is 10000
suits and 10000 towels per day. The
kitchen, S0x50 feet, contains four large
ranges, etc, with provision for the wants
of 5000 visitors, innumerable electric lights
are dispersed throughout the building
All of the bath buildings are protected,
on the west side by an enormous break

top, rs wide at the base and 20 feet deep,
containing 100000 cubic feet of rock. These
two breakwaters give ample security
against any contingency of heavy seas.
A more definite idea of the size and ex-
tent of the baths can be gathered from ex-
act statistics of the building the materials
used in its construction and the conven-
fences provided for visitors.

Ii Is generally believed throughout Cali
fornia that, in his will. MIR. Sutro has be-
queathed these great baths to the city of
san Francisco, as a public institution
This cannot be definitely known while he
lives but If so devised this great establish
ment will serve as a lasting monument to
his memory and delight to visitors from
all over the world
