AMERICAS LOCOMOTIVES.
wonderful Engines Are Ready for
Amy Emergency Which May
Confront Them.

The American locomotive engineer
deems it advisable to design his engine
with a large margin of power. II an
express engine is designed to take 200
ton load at so miles an hour, and If that
load should happen to be increased to
300 tons, the locomotive is still expected
to be able to take it and keep time. and
usually does so. Such, at any rate, is
the experience of such an impartial and
lerel-headed observer as Mr.. w. nj. Ac-
worth. If an American express be late
at one point Of its journey the engine
is expected TO make up the lost time
even if the load be larger than usual.
And, again, this is generally done, says
the Engineering Magazine.
But if an English engine is given a
single coach above its prescribed load
the driver at once insists upon having a
pilot and commonly he gets one. Or
should the weather be bad, with strong
side wind or a Slippery rail, he demands
an assisting engine, and is accorded one,
as a matter Of course. OBVIOUSLY this ap-
plies especially to the case Of single
wheelers, which are SO largely used on
some English railways because their
range Of power is much more sharply
limited by adverse conditions than is
the case with coupled engines. But in
either case it seems iadisputable that
a smaller range Of power is given TO an
English locomotive than 10 an Ameri-
can.

pHARAoHNIc MUMMIEs.
n,rcovery of the Remains OF the
Grent Egyptian Magician OF the
Time of Rameaes II.

Prof. Croft, the Psychologist, writes
from Ghizeh to the Paris Messenger
about Pharaohnic mummies at the Chi
zeh museum, confirming the tradition
that the scenes described In the first
chapters of the Book OF Exodus took
place under the reign Of Rameses IL.
and his son, Merenptah. The Pharoah's
daughter OF the Bible was Princess
Bent Anita, and The great magician OF
that time Hamus, another son OF RAM
eses II. The mummy Of the last had
been discovered. but il was thought
that Of Hamus was missing. Mr.. Gro1f
has identified one Of the mummies as
that Of the prince and magician Hamus
and verified the writing on the shroud
as 'Ra-Ha-mus.'
after having opened the case In
which the mummy is kept" he says,
land carefully removing the outer
cloth covering there appeared written
on the shroud, just over the breast Of
the mummy; His majesty command
ed Ia the seventh year, third month of
the season Of planting, sixth day, to
be put in order the mummy Of Prince
Hamus' This note proves that the OBJ
ject of my research was correct; that
the name is not Rahamus, as hereto
fore supposed, but Hamus, that Of the
great magician with whom | had al
ready identified my mummy"
a,.o Ii o1xc q ~, y
cess Bent Anita, Pharoah's daughter,
the foster-mother Of Moses. Certain
indications on her sarcophagus might
lead one TO suppose that the mummy
has been destroyed but it is probably
in some tomb in the valley near Thebes,
hidden with other princesses and
queens.

One Hundred Reasons ns Stated by
English Bachelors why They
Never Married.

The writerrwas allowed to look at the
book Of membership Of the largest
bachelor club in the Midlands.
Each member stated after his sigma
ture why he joined the club; and, as no
one is allowed TO become a member un-
til he is 80 years old, these reasons
should be studied by the other fellows
sisters, says Stray Stories.
Taking random 100, the writer found
that 30 members were still suffering
from the wounds of a jilting; 20 owned
that they couldn't stand the idea of
having some woman always near them
who had right to continually talk; IL
considered that women got in the way
of mems work, and never helped their
husbands; eight feared the continual in
terterence of motners-in-law, nine con-
sidered that no man should ally himself
with a creature who spent her time in
gossiping and wearing new clothes;
seven could not find their ideal woman;
six dreaded the noise Of children; five,
who had joined at the same time, had
given their lives up to trying to discover
what good women had ever done in the
world, and three owned candidly that
they did not-taking into consideration
the worry Of marriage, the greater
amount Of work the husband had TO co,
the chance of net marrying the right
girl and the risk of having their gray
hairs brought in sorrow to the grave by
the deings Of their offspring consider
the game worth tile candle.
1t only nov remains fer some bach
eloress club 10 state their reasons Cor
blessed singleness, and the reasons may
be removed.

NO ONE FEARS DEATH.
An Exoerfenced Physician of Long
Practice Tells of n Popular
Fsllncy.


II have seen thousands Of persons die
under all sorts Of circumstances, and
never Yet have seen one display the
slightest fear Of DEATH" This remark
able statement was made the other day.
according to the Philadelphia Record,
by a physician who has practiced many
years In Philadelphia. and who has seen
a great deal of hospital service.
1T is a popular fallacy," he went on
ito imagine that a deathbeG scene is
ever terrible, other than as a parting
between loved ones. The fear Of the
unknown is never present at the last.
Even amid ignorance aud vice ] have
never experienced sucA scenes as nov

not recover and the eld is near, be in

bis only thought seems to be OF those
who are 10 be left behind. This is true
alike Of men and women.
Those who become hysterical and
declare they are not fl to die are the
ones who are not as III as they think
they are. These always get well. A
psychological reason? Oh. 1 don't know
that there is any. It's just a human

what Shall we do With AguinaldoR

What Shall we do With AgulnaldOf
In the January number Of 'The
National Magazine Peter Mac
Queen, their special representative
lately returned from Manila, writes
thus regarding the solution Of a
perplexing questions:
"The problem is to catch Aguin-
aldo; and then a new problem will
come, what to do with him. To
execute him would shock the NOR
al sense of America, and make the
present race hatred of us in Luzon
hundred times more intense. To
imprison him would be to keep an
open sore ON the body polite.
Reporters would get him, and he
would be an American Dreyfus.
The most satisfactory way, think,
would be either to encourage him
to escape from the Archipelago
altogether; or, having caught him,
offer him full amnesty upon his
taking the oath of allegiance. If
he refuses to take the oath, that is
going to complicate matters. But
we will not build bridges" F"
