point the Inquirer makes in opposition

Persons who lose sleep over the purity
Of our language and are ever trying to
keep II consistent have already Deeh
discussing a proper name for the horse
less carriage. Some call ii the "automo-
bile" while others prefer "autotrnck-
This latter term. however. is very oneh-
sive to the New York Times, which makes
vigorous attack upon it. A Pittsburg
contemporary argues that "autotruck Is
etymologically preferable to autoiho-
bile" as both its components are derived
from the Greek. at is true says the
PENNSYLVANIA authority, that IL Is NOT
very euphonious. but then the thing ltsen
is not supposed TO be especially eupho-
nious either. II the autotruck works well
on the street, those who own 1T VIII ma
little fault with the name"
As we have but little need for horseless
carriages. we will maintain strict neu-
trality towards all the pathological belli-
gerents until the preponderance OF au-
thority definitely asserts itself. For the
present, the automobile is still In its IN
cipiency. The new vehicle has become
quite popular in some European cities
especially Paris. but it lacks many i'm
provements to make t practicable for
business purposes. In hilly places and on
up grades It is almost useless, as its up
grade forces undergo the mos; rapid eX-
haustion. On a level these difficulties do
not present themselves. and the time
may come. in the distant future, when the
invention will relegate the horse to the
Limited sphere Of a pleasure animal or
food staple" And. mean while, the auto
| mobile is n very expensive luxury None
but the rich can at present afford it, and
| its use is confined almost entirely to those
who cultivate fads. Recent contracts for
the sale Of sl5.ODOOO worth of American
made automobiles at least show that
| there is some wealth left in Europe, ano
| that the invention has its disciples.

According to the Chicago Record, hens
are on a strike. and the "Windy City
Is threatened with an egg famine. Indeed
there is reason to believe that the whole
land has cause to tremble at this GALL
naceous inactivity.
Chicago begins the new year with but
little more than 10000 cases of eggs and
half Of these are already cornered by one
company. These holdings represent the
bulk of the chen fruit" in this country
and fabulous prices--for eggs-are being
offered the storage company. The whole
sale figures have ranged from - TO p
cents per dozen and it is said that within
the next fortnight or 50 prices will go
still higher. Last year at this time there
were twice as many eggs on the market.
During the past few weeks Cuba has
gobbled up a large percentage of the pro-
duction of the Southeastern States and
Greater New York has got most Of the
stock Of the New England States. Add
TO this the unwillingness of our hens to
do their duty and housekeepers are
brought face.to face with a serious stu
alton.
Dealers say that if the weather becomes
warmer eggs will come into the markets
more freely. and, certainly, hens will fee
more cheerful

Some days ago a man was found lying
on the tracks of the New York Central
railroad with his skull fractured, and It
was evident that he had been struck by
passing train. Though his injuries were
fatal. and ne died in less than a week af-
ter the accident, he whistled almost con-
tinuousiy during the period of his suffer-
ings. He began on the evening of the day
he was hurt, and for ninety-five hours
whistled all sorts Of tunes without ces-

In an article on the locomotive and
car-building industries, the Railroad
Gazette gives some interesting and en-
couraging statistics: The number of loco
motives built in 1898 at contract shops
or outside of the shops Of the railroads,
was 1875. against only L2jl in 1897, lilo
in 1886. and Cos in 1894. For the four pre-
vious years the record runs little above
1000. In 1898 the number built for export
was 554. as compared with 1856 in 1891 and
800 in 1896. There was also in 1895 mark
ed increase in the size of the locomotives
turned out. The contracting car-building
companies in the United States did du-
ring the year the largest business since
1s9O-turning out 99SO9 freight cars, G9s
passenger cars. and 1850 street cars.
1t is Of special interest TO the Richmond
people to know that locomotive building
promises 10 be much more active this
year than it was last year.
