gentleman asked Mr. Kane: who is
this young man? Is he a special coun-

AUTOMOBILES In PARIS.
Consul General GOwdy Tells of Their
Increase and Defects.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Consul General
Gowdy, at Paris, reports to the State De-
partment that there has been a marked in
crease during the past year in the use of
automobiles in the city of Paris, not only
as pleasure vehicles, but for practical ap
plication as public cabs and for business
purposes as delivery wagons. They are
announced that soon there will be one hun
dred motor cabs driven by electricity run
ming in the streets of Paris, and, if the ex-
pertinent be successful, the cabs will be in
creased to 1000 With this project in view
q large plot of ground has been acquired,
where the building of works necessary for
the electric supply are being rapidly COM
pleted. training ground has also been
made for the cabmen. This is laid out with
every possible form Of paving, wood, as
phalt, stone etc, including two steep
hills. Here and there are dotted about a
number of dummy figures and in one of
these the cabmen have to maneuVer under
the directions of an instructor. In four les
sons, it is stated, the driver is able to navi-
gate Paris, and after ten lessons is con-
sldered thoroughly competent. Each cab is
supplied with sufficient power to be driven
thirty miles at about eight miles an hour.
Among the systems of automobiles in
Paris there are many using petroleum.
These machines have called forth a most
pronounced objection from the public by
reason, first, of the odor following their
PASSAGE second, the noise and, third, for
the passengers, the extraordinary vibra-
tion. A consummation of great value would

SuperstitiOns of Engineers.


Il think railroad engineers are much less
superstitious as q class than they used TO
be- SAID an oldtime knight of the throt-
tie, now foreman IN a local machine shop.
In the early days of rallrOadlng in the
South there was great deal of talk about
signs and omens and while very few would
own up to personal convictions on the sub
Ject, they were not disposed TO f1y IN the
face Of tate. l remember IL used to be con-
sidered bad luck for a bird to light on the
cab window, and L have seen a AO-pound
engineer turn pale as ghost at the sight
of two-ounce robin perched at his elbow.
The most Widespread of the engineers su-
perstitionS Tin fact it still SurViVes) was
that accidents come in groups of three.
After two m3ShapS every man on the line
would be nervous anu apprehensiVe, and l
have no doubt that this overanXlety was of
itself frequently responsible for bringing on
the third. A good illustration Of the Gre
dence that was placed in the tradition was
furnished by a little incident which occurred
in this city in 1884 or thereabout. One of
the best known engineers IN this section
met with a couple OF minor accidents, and
about a week later his fireman was killed
through the parting of the link between the
engine and the tender The fireman was
standing on the guard plate. fell through
and was crushed to death instantly. This
tragedy made a profound impression on the
mind of the old man. over SIX months
afterward a train he was hauling became
deraied and a brakeman was hurt. Pretty
soon another brakeman was knocked off the
top by a bridge timber and had several ribs
broken. When the train pulled in that day
the engineer went Immediately TO the office
and requested a weeks lay-on. He got 1t
somehow or other. but at the end of the time
he wanted another week, ard was told he'd
have to come back or stay off permanently.
He promptly threw up his job and that
same afternoon his engine met with very
serious accident at a bridge some distance
Up the road. That was the third mischance
for which he had been waiting, and he
thereupon put in an application for his
former position He didn't get it, however,
and went into business, at which he was
quite successful. He died well to do several
years ago."

Novel Scheme in Naval Architecture
to Be Tried on the Lakes.

CLEVELAND O., Jan. 28-The Cleveland
Steel Canal Boat Company, at it's meeting
to-day. decided to adopt a novel proposition
in naval architecture. The company now
sends canal boa S down the lakes in tow AMI
then hauls them through the Erie canal. 1t
has now been decided TO construct steel
barge 800 feet long and forty-five feet wide.
with a double bottom and sides, which can
be pumped out like a dry dock. Into this
transportation to the head of he Erie canal.
where they will be hoated out and sent on
their way. BY the use of this barge the
small boats will be saved from the dangers
weather. Naval architects who have been
consulted say the plan is entirely feasible
