BUILT FOR GREAT SPEED.
New Train That VIII OMer Least
ResistaRce to Wind and Will
Go I2O Miles an Hour.

Within few months the Pennsyl-
vania and the New York Central rail-
roads may have in operation trains
built with the smooth lines of an ocean
steamship. Frederick u. Adams has in
vented a train which, he says, can run
120 miles an hour far more easily than
trains to-day can run 60. The train
which Mr.. Adams has designed offers
hardly any point upon which air pres
sure could be exerted. The engine is
fitted with prov like the cutwater of
a ship. There are no spaces between
the cars. The wheels are inclosed al-
most down to the level of the track.
There are no projections from any part
of the train.
The windows are set flush with the
sides of the car and cannot be opened.
This does not mean that the train is
unventilated. On the contrary, the
ventilation of the new trains will be
much better than by the open window
method.
The New York Central and the Penn
sylvania railroads are now making ar
rangements to give the Adams system
thorough test. Trains are now being
built on the Adams plan and will be
used when completed.

slept Four Hours a Day.

Alexander Won Humboldt, the great
German philosopher and traveller,
rarely spent more than four hours in
bed, and, on the testimony of Sir James
Sawyer, was frequently content with
two hours; and Littre, who lived to be
so, thought that to spend more than
five hours a day in bed was shameful
self-indulgence. Although his invaria-
BILE hour of rising was O'Clock, he
scarcely ever left his desk until 3 in
the morning, or until sunrise warned
him that a new day had dawned. Many
of England's greatest men have scorned
the delights of bed while living .'labori-

Told Of the King OF spain.

A writer in the London Telegraph
tells the following story about the king
of Spain as throwing light on that royal
lads life: 'One day, during his history
lesson, the king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain came to lose Chill,
Mexico and other Spanish-American
colonies. The story was narrated SO
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spelbound and con-
tinued after il had ended to sit alb
sorbed in meditation. AT last a thought
having struck him, he looked up to his
professor and inquired: What must |
do in order to get back those countries
for Spain?' The first and most i'm

WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.
The Automobiles for Military Use
VIII Also Have a Very Thor :
ouSh Test.

Wireless telegraphy will receive q
boom. Gen. Greeley, chief of the siE-
nal service of the army, will begin u
series of experiments much more COM
prehensive than the recent tests be-
tween Washington and Fort Myer. He
has been awaiting the return from Eu-
rope of Capt. Squires, of the signal
service, who was sent abroad to confer
with Marconi and investigate the prog
ress of wireless telegraphy in Europe.
Capt. Squires has directed all the
government experiments heretofore
made He will be ready soon, it is saids
TO begin new tests based on informa-
tion acquired while abroad.
Messages have been successfully sent
from the roof of the state, war and navy
building to the signal Office at Fort
Myer, distance of three miles. 1t
is now proposed TO use in this connec-
tion automobile carriages, which are
expected this week. and tae tests VIII
have a twofold object. first, to deter
mine whether wireless telegraphy is
possible under ordinary field condi-
tions, and, second, how far il is practi-
cable to use the automobile for trans
portation purposes in the army.
The automobiles will be given fair
test on the roads and hills of Virginia.
If they prove satisfactory automo-
biles will be sent to the Philippines to,
be used in the fall campaign. Their
use there will be to carry light field
guns to shell the enemy's intrench-
ments and clear the way for the troops,
and also to keep the signal service corps
abreast of the advancing army. The
tests will be severe enough 10 clearly
demonstrate whether the automobile
can be successfully used in army oper-

hearing of an action against the Dublin
corporation his lordship said he OBJ
served that one Of the queens counsel
engaged In the case appeared in white
waistcoat, which was not professional
costume. The MacDermot, @. c., who

would not hear counsel who did not
appear in bar costume.

NAVIGATION SUGGESTION.
Captain should Not Lay Out His yes>
seI's Course without AS
sistance.

All theories about magnetic attrac-
ton and unknown currents will have
to be dismissed so far as the Paris acci-
dent is concerned, says the Philadel-
phia Press. 1t demonstrates one weak
feature in the method now followed in
determining the course Of vessel at
sea. The captain of vessel determines
the course without consultation with.
the other navigating officers. II hel
makes a mistake there is no check on
him, unless the man on the bridge dis
covers land OF light that causes a.
change.
The suggestion made some time ago,
that more than one officer should takel
part in laying the course of a vessel,
seems to be a wise one. The captain
could, for that matter, proceed as he
does now, but if another officer were re-
quired to make separate calculation
and give it TO the captain, mistake
such as that made by Capt. Watkins
might easily be discovered in time to
avert disaster.
Age and experience do not guarantee
freedom from error. Accidents more
often happen to the experienced cap-l
tains than to the inexperienced ones.
Perhaps in long course of years they
ore apt slightly to relax their vigilance,
and then comes the danger. The cap-'
tains of all the steamship lines lay out
the course of their vessels without
check of any kind from other officers.
There would appear to be need of a.
change in that respect.

THE RATTLESNAKE COON.
Committed Suicide, Maybe, After
Stealing $1,000 Worth of POul-
try In Maine.

The rattlesnake coon that has robbed
thousano dollars worth of eggs and
poultry in the last three years near
East Dedham, Me-, has been caught at
last in one of Sam Houston's traps, and
the skin is now at tannery being
cured, after which it will be made up
into q fur cap. The animal began its
adventurous career at East Dedham in
the autumn of 1897. Green corn was in
the milk at the time, and all other coons
were contented to live in the fields and
woods, without risking near APP
proach to civilization. The rattlesnake
coon was of a different mind, and
wouldn't look at sweet corn SO long as
there was tough old rooster to be had
for the climbing. Between September
/, 1897, and January /, 1898, it is said
that this coon destroyed $500 worth of
poultry in East Dedham, besides max
ing frequent raids into Bucksport and
Otis.
hunter of Bangor, introduced novelty
in coon catching. He argued that a
raccoon likes green corn better than
any other food. Therefore, when the
green crop was safe in the granaries,
he procured dozen two-pound cans of
green corn. Instead of removing the
contents with can opener, he cut the
top of every can into six sections, divid-
ing it in the way housewife cuts a
pie. Having removed nearly all the
corn, he turned down the six sharp
points of tin so as to admit raccoon's s
head, and placed his traps along the
runways where coons were known to
travel. The plan worked well. In a
week there were five coons running
about the woods carrying tin cans over
their heads, and inside of a month the
last can had fitted itself to coon and
was on it's travels. The raccoons, being
unable, to see, wandered aimlessly
about and most of them were shot or
dubbed to death before winter. AS
the others have never been seen, it is
probable they died of starvation.
When the rattlesnake coon was not
identified among the slain, everybody
hoped he had perished. This spring he
came out early in March, and began
to make assessments on the same old
poultry yards. After the poultry yards
gave out, he stole sucking pigs from
the barn cellars, and picked up stray
lambs in the fields. On the morning
of May /, when the sehoolchildren went
to the woods to pick checkerberries
and Mayfiowers, and to celebrate Dew
ey's victory, they found the terror Of
the town dead in one of Sam Houston's
traps. AS the trap had not been baited
for two weeks the impression prevails
that the raccoon committed suicide.
An examination of the body resulted
in finding an old sleigh bell attached
to strap about the animals neck. A
tin tag on the strap contained this in
scription: Return to William A..

We call ii ice cream. To the English
it is known as cream ice. Just when or
where it was invented is the question
many people have tried TO solve. In the
beginning of the century it was almost
unknown in England, though well
known in Naples and Sicily, where the
cream was artfully made into copies OF
peaches, apples, apricots and such dain-
ties, much as we have them to-day made

SAMOA UNDER A NEW RULE.
Triangular Form of Government to
Be Abolished in the Islands.

Be Abolished In the lS1anuSs
The tripartite commission, representing
the United States, Great Britain and
Germany, has made public the various
recommendations which they suggest re-
garding the new form Of government
most suitable for Samoa. The recon-
mendations are based upon the best fea-
lures of the British treaty, and include
principal features of the treaty as amend
ed and modified by the commission. The
form of government suggested is de-
parture from that which has prevailed
heretofore, and does away with the tri
partite administration. 1t is proposed
to do away with the triangular form Of
government and establish a unity by the
appointment of a single administrator
chosen by disinterested power.
This official will be assisted by coun-
Gil composed of delegates representing
the United States, Great Britain and
Germany The chief official will be en-
powered with a measure of auth Irity
which will enable him to end any dis
putes between the three powers. Should
they fail to agree upon the administrator,
the King of Sweden and Norway will
appoint him. The commissioners fix the
salary of the new official at $4,000
year, and he will execute all laws in force
in the Samoan Islands. He will possess
pardoning power, and, with consent Of
legislative committee of three, may make
municipal appointments.
The report places the salary Of the
chief justice of the Supreme Court at $5,-
900 a year, and it emphasizes the neces-
sity Of abolishfng kingship and RECON-
mends the establishment of districts in
the islands, each under supervision Of
native chief. Copies of the report Of the
commissioners have been sent to each Of
the three great powers for approval.
