French Inventions are usually de-
fective in the mechanical character OF
the means by which the end sought to
be effected is attained. This is, no
doubt, due to the fact that so small a
proportion Of the population have any
practical mechanical knowledge. AL
most every man in the United States
knows the use OF tools. Very many
who have no manual occupation are
fairly skilled workers, and those who
have Inventive tendencies are not
ashamed to devote their leisure time
to the requirement Of technical skill
necessary to prepare their working
models and perfect their inventions.
In France, on the contrary, such
knowledge is considered derogatOry to
any n In the higher walks Of life. A
clerk will not close a shutter nor dust
on the top Of the desk at which he
works, since that Is the business Of an
"ouvrier;" nor will a man who moves
in good society permit himself to be
seen carrying a package Of any sort
along the street. One result Of this
exclusive use Of tools by laborers is
that French invention usually has, to
an American, a certain n of awk-
wardness in its mechanical applica-
ton. The idea may be a good one,
but there is very seldom any Of the
hardness which one finds in an Amer
can invention. A %Guadeloupe manu-
facturer who had ordered two Ameri-
can machines tells his experience in a
letter to u consul. when they
came" he writes, I'VE were much dis
appointed. They looked rough and
ugly, and we are accustomed to receive
from France similar goods that are
very beautiful and graceful to look at.
But when we came to examine the In
terror we we're most pleasantly sur
prised-perfect adjustment, exquisite
fittings, the minimum Of friction and
lost motion and maximum of efficiency
and sOlidity. Your machines are in
~comparably better than our own In
these respects, and much cheaper"

The Baltimore and Ohio lines west
Of the Ohio River present q very busy
appearance these days, as there is
scarcely a ten mile stretch without a
bridge or a construction gang at work.
There are still a few Of tbb So bridges
purchased last January to be erected,
and almost all of the 10000 tons Of IS
pound rails have been laid. At several
points sidings Of 100 car capacity are
being constructed, and between New
ark and Chicago Junction thousands Of
men are working on extensive grade
reductions. Between Chicago Junction
and Chicago nearly a score OF passing
sidings are being constructed with a
view Of a double track some time in
the future. They are to be long
enough in most cases to hold three so
car trains.
