trio car is on the wheels and revolves them
all right, but if the tracks happen to be
the least bit slippery the wheels revolve
without moving the car an inch. The ca
BILE car gripman could put on his brakes

The motive power for the cars of an
electric line is furnished from a central
station or power house. There are several
circuits on each line 1t is necessary to
have several circuits in order that the
voltage may be kept the same all along
the lire. The voltage of an electrical ma
chine is the amount of power it can stand,
and amounts to the same thing as the
pressure in pounds of steam.
\ long circuit will not supply as great
current at the end farthest from the
power house as it does from the wires in
its immediate vicinity; therefore, in or
der to maintain an equality on al! parts
of the line the electric railroad lines of
this city are divided into separate cir
cults. and the voltage is maintained as
nearly equal as possible.
The principle of running trolley cars is
the same on both the overhead and un-
derground lines. The only difference lies
in the fact that the current in one is OBJ
tanned from a wire overhead and on the
other from a rail underneath The heat

that remains as inexplicable today as it
was when electricity was first made use

The auicI-Ftring Craze.

The Australian press, including even the
military journal ''Reichswehr." has been
giving prominence TO the alleged inven-
tion of a remarkable quick-friug rifle.
This truly wonderful weapon Will. in the
hands of trained soldier emit no fewer
than 200 bullets an hour. or forty-five
in one minute. Thus in an engagement
which lasted several hours each soldier
could loose off CARLOAD OF ammunition, il
he had it at his elbow; and an army OF
80. 600 men-a mere handful Of men as Con-
tinental armies go-would require $4,000
carloads with the firing line in one Sc
rious engagement. For campaign of
invasion each soldier would require to be
followed by a magazine; and a she'll ex-
p!oding in a company would produce as
many devastating explosions as there were
men. II, on the other hand. each SOL
dier marched with say. his own two hun
dred rounds. he could fire them all on in
less than FIVE minutes. and be left without
ammunition for the rest Of the engage
ment.
Such considerations are. OF course. ex-
treme: but they show that the '.rsductiO
ad absurdum" of quick-firing rifles is cas-
lily reached. Even now the difficulty is to
get enough ammunition to the firing line
and to keep control Of the fire. II rapidity
of fire is much increased without some
entirely new method Of bringing up ammu-
nition the occasional advantage of being
able to pour in 4 deadly hail OF bullets for
a minute or two will be dearly purchased
at the cost of whole brigades perhaps be-
ing rendered '.hors de combat for want
of ammunition at the beginning OF fight.
What applies to rifle fire applies also to
artillery: and the armies which have been
in a hurry to arm themselves with so-call-
ed quicH-firing artillery before the maehin-
cry was perfect or the ammunition problem
solved. may find themselves in worse
quandary than if they had retained their

THE REMOVAL OF THE POPE.
Possibility That the See May Leave
the Holy City.
GondOn Correspondence Birmingham POst.)

Uondon Correspondence Birmingham Post.)
Private advices from Rome confirm the
published kilograms which indicate the se-
rious condition of the Pope, and it may be
that We are within a very brief period OF
the revival of the controversy as TO wheth-
er the next conclave should be held in
Rome. The theory that the College OF
Cardinals would not be able to make a
free choice there was exploded by the cir
oumstance that in February, 1878, or more
than seven years after the Italian occupa-
tion. the present Pope was CHOSEN at a
conclave in the Eternal City. There is,
however, the chance that, if Leo XIII suffi-
ciently RECEIVERS. a section of the College
of Cardinals will wish him to be removed
elsewhere. in order to demonstrate the
theory tenaciously held at the Vatican that
in the circumstance of the Italian occupa-
ton of Rome, that capital is not free Tor
either the Pope or the Papacy.
Ii the present physical condition of the
Pope nothing can Immediately come of
this idea. but it is not to be forgotten that
Austria Hungary many years ago offered
an asylum to His Holiness, though it IS
said that. in ease of need, Malta would be
preferred by the Vatican.
As long ago as 1868, and under the Gov
ernment of Lord Palmerston. the first Lord
Ampthill, then Odo Russell, and our repre-
sentative in Rome informed Plus IN that
if circumstances induced him to establish
his residence out of Italy, and if it were
convenient and agreeable to him to reside
in Malta. every attention would be paid
to his comfort, and a suitable residence
provided for him. Seven years afterward,
when the Italians occupied Rome, British
warship was despatched to Ciyita Vec-
CHA by the then Liberal Government. and,
as was understood at the time, would have
taken Plus TX to Malta if he had so de-
sired. Pho Mono preferred to remain in
Rome; but Mr.. Gladstone, as Prime Minis
ter, wrote from Downing Street two
months later:
Her Majesty's Government consider all
that relates to the adequate support of the
dignity of the Pope, and to his personal
freedom and independence of his spiritual
functions. 10 be legitimate matter for their
notice. Indeed, without waiting for the
occurrence of any actual necessity, they
have, during the uncertainties of the last
four months. taken upon themselves to
make provision which would have tended
to afford any necessary protection to the
person of the Sovereign Pontin''

CATAcoMBs OF ST. MARY's.
\ Strange Burial Place in the Heart
of London.


How many people in London are aware
of the catacombs of st. Mary's? Despite
the hustle and roar incidental to the big
gest railway station in England-Liver-
pool Street station-the visitor to St Ma
ry's can by little stretch of the imagi-
nation picture himself in one OF those
strange burial places Of the early Chris
tians which may be found on

hundreds of the faithful departed" the

scriptions are visible but each coffin is
duly noted in the register of the church.
Some illustrious persanages are buried i'm
mediately beneath the high altar-Bishops
Poynter, Bramstone, and Gradwell for
example. There is ample space for several
more, but modern authorities are not par
tial to burials in the heart of the city
Close by the bishops in a number of cof-
fins piled in regular tiers. are the remains
of upward of thirty priests who served the
church well in their life and row find a
congenial resting place beneath the very
altar where they celebrated the mysteries
of their ancient faith. 1t was the dearest
wish of Cardinal Wiseman to have his
body inferred within the sanctuary of St
Mary's, but the law interviewed. and a
white marble slab with a modest epitaph
composed by himself when in the full vigor
of health now indicates the place where he
would have gladly rested.

lated quarters of London, it was a some

where so huge a collection of deaf human

OVATION FOR MAN
JUST OUT OF JAIL
EDITOR JOYCE, OF MAHANoY
CITY, WELCOMED HOME.
After Serving Fifteen Months I'm
prisonment for Perjury He Is
Treated Like a Hero Returning in
Triumph-The History of a Curl
Gus Case.

Pottsvile, Sept. 19.--Thomas j. Joyce
formerly editor of the Mahanoy City
Black Diamond who has just finished
a term Of sixteen months in the East
ern penitentiary, arrived home last
night. A large crowd of friends were
in waiting to greet him at the Ma
kanoy City station and he was given
an ovation. From the station Mr..
Joyce went to McElhennys cafe, where
he held a public reception. A large
number Of prominent citizens of Ma
hanoy City and Shenandoah called and
assured the eX-editor of their sympa-
thy and continued respect
Mr.. Joyce served but fifteen months
i'm the penitentiary. one month having
been remitted for good behavior. He
lost sixty-five pounds during his in
Carceration, but. Notwithstanding, he
is in fairly good health.
The charge on which Joyce was inn
prisoned arose out of the controversy
he sustained with ex-senator Coyle in
the columns Of the Black Diamond.
Coyle was interested in a project to Sc
cure state appropriation for a hos
pital at Mahanoy City. Joyce opposed
the granting of the appropriation and
0IICl ldlSt sum Iat DceH NDUdlCu
to the institution, he continued his at
tacks on the project. 1t was shown
that the proposed hospital had actually
no existence and Governor Hastings
vetoed the appropriation.
After these events had tranSpircd
C0yle sued Joyce for libel. The case
was heard at Harrisburg. Joyce was
convicted but the impression made on
the presiding judge was such that he
was given a very light sentence, with
cut any imprisonment. While on the
witness stand in this case Joyce made
certain statements, which it was found
out afterwards could not be substanti-
ated. although it is said they We're
made in good faith at the time. He
was again prosecuted by Coyle, this
time for perjury. With the -under-
standing that sentence was to be sus
pended,he pleaded guilty to this charge
and was sentenced to the penitentary.
Ex-senator Coylc, who brought these
prosecutions against Joyce, will be tried
at Harrisburg for alleged bribery.
