wheelmen at the Paris Exposition.

The Official announcement by the
Paris Exposition authorities shows
that all accommodations for wheelmen
will be made on the grounds, but in
addition the L. A. W. has arranged for
q special headquarters for it's members
and there they will be able to ascer-
tain all the knowledge necessary for
tours on any part of the continent.
The membership cards in the c. T. c..
entitle them to all the access to road
books, hotel and repair shop accom-
modations and the services of the Of
fetal representative located in almost
every village, as well as the large
cities, of Europe. In the headquarters
established by President Keenan, tours
of the principal sightseeing districts
will be arranged and the temporary
headquarters on the grounds will be
as well supplied with information as
tho permanent Offices. For those who
enjoy racing the exposition will afford
the greatest meet ever held. The
principal occasion will be the world s
championships. held under the aus
pieces of the international Cyclists
Association, in which over $4,000
will be expended in prizes alone. In
this meet only those riders who are
in good standing with the L. A. w.
will be permitted to compete as rep
resentatives of the United States and
the racing department of the League
will make arrangements for the proper
care of its representatives. Both the
touring and racing members of the
League will be taken care of abroad
next year and the preparations are
so extensive that large amount of
work is being done for their benefit
even at this early time.

The first application Of the mechani-
cal stoker to locomotive has been
made on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road. The coal is put into hopper by
the fireman; from where 1t feeds down
into six-inch cylinder, and a piston
operated by steam throws a small
charge Of coal-from four to six pounds
through an opening in the fire-box
door. This coal can be given force
enough to go clear TO the fiue sheet or
drop at any part Of this distance, even
close to the door, At the same time 1t
is spread out evenly over the surface
of the CRATES from side to side. The
supply of steam and coal can be regu-
lated for light or heavy work by the
crew.
If 1t can be perfected so as to work
on a locomotive the smokeless firing

ders Of the fireman, for small charges
of coal scattered evenly over the fire
Mt short intervals is the ideal smoke
preventive. Mechanical stokers are
nothing new. but so far their field has
been limited to stationary boilers. Most
Of them handle fine coal only; this one
can handle moderate-sized Jumps.

WHERE THE OLD CARS GO.
Many Uses to Which the cast-offs Of
City Lines Are Put.

On all metropolitan street railways
new cars are constantly appearing,
and the question naturally suggests
itself. Where do the old cars go? A
street railway man of long experience
answered this question for Sun
reporter the other day.
1--WE sell number of our old cars
he said. ITO other cities, where, after
they are painted and otherwise refur-
nished. they are used as trailers on
electric roads during periods of infia-
ted traffic They are merely hitched
behind the motor cars, and answer
the purpose to which they are put very
well. However. the demand for horse
cars is slight, and 1t is sometimes a
problem to dispose of old electric cars
to advantage.
Now and then we sell an old car
10 someone living in the country, who
wishes TO convert the vehicle into a
playhouse for children. It answers
this purpose very well. for cars are
invariably well made and will stand
hard weather and the severe use
which children are liable to give any
thing they come in contact with.
In the agricultural districts beyond
the city proper you can find scores Of
old cars which have been converted
into chicken houses by the vegetable
gardeners. who are always on the
lookout for bargains In these cast
on vehicles. They remove the glass
windows. board up the sides and thus
make the finest possible kind OF .
chicken house. Hundreds OF old cars
are doing duty as soda water and
peanut stands in various parts Of the
country. Cars which saw service
thirty years ago are now in use Is
waiting cars, where passengers can
linger while awaiting transportation
TO other parts. A few such are to be
found in Manhattan. but most Of thep
are In New Jersey."-N. Y. Sun.

The Peoria (Ill.) Journal says:
IAN expenditure Of exploration aud
geographic discovery is now fitting out
at little village OH the western slopes
of the Rocky Mountains, which is about
to enter a hitherto unknown range of
mountains on the headwaters Of Salmon
river in northern Idaho, where the most
extraordinary and extensive discoveries
of gold bearing quartz were made by a
few wandering prospectors late last fall.
Among the strange phenomena ap-
pearing in this range were volcanic
eruptions of molten lava and smoke seen
from afar as lately as 1881.
Elm 1862 over $40, ooo, 900 i'll gold
was taken from the placers of Salmon
river, Idaho. In this unknown range OF
mountains which is now to be explored
by a company of experienced mount
aineers and hunters under the command
of Colonel w. S. Bracket of this city, il
is believed will be discovered the mother
lodes or deposits of gold from which the
marvellous placers of Salmon river were
ages ago deposited as partial down

till they jumped into all old cellar near
the Grostein house on Idaho street.
The officers were hastily summoned
and the block in which they were
reported to be hiding was surround
ed. The old cellar which they were seen
to enter was searched in vain, but the
fugities were found under the floor of the
adjoining house. They were pulled out
dusty, crest fallen and mad. They called
all the curses of the professional crook s
gods upon the head of Ed Fouutein for
giving the alarm when he saw them
running away.
A guard from the penitentiary had ar,
rived to take the men to Boise on the
day OF the escape. They were shackled
for the journey when an error was
noticed in the commitment which re-
quired the presence of Judge Steel who
was then in court at Odd Fellows hall
Before the judge could be found the boa,
had departed and the men were returned
to their old cell till yesterday whel
they were taken to the penitentiary te
