Rev. Anna Shaw's friends are rela-
ting an incident concerning a horse

lady is good judge Of horsef1esh, be-
sides being highly accomplished in

heard to declare that David Harum

The Cape Cod animal which she pur-
chased proved to be satisfactory as to-
speed, temper and disposition, and for
several days Miss Shaw looked after
his wants herself, there being no man
on the premises just at that time.
Rev. Anna finally secured the services
OF man servant just as she was leay-
ing to deliver a lecture in a town not
Tar from Boston. The man entered the
stall to perform the usual duties of a
stable help and was at once kicked
into lnsensibility. He soon recovered
but refused to go near the horse again
and the animal Jared rather poorly IN
til Miss Shaw's return. Then another
man was hired, but he met a similar
reception. A third keeper was en-
gagged, Miss Shaw conscientiously in
forming him as to the experience Of
MS two predecessors The newcomer
made some Inquiries as to the ante
cedents OF the horse and found that
1t had always been cared for by the
wife of its former owner. Borrowing

Miss Shaw the man went up to the
horse in safety and from that day to
this has never had any trouble with

Whereas, in the loss of the President,

Therefore, |. James b. Orman, gov

The Possibilities in This Direction Dis

cussed.
The announcement that n company
has been formed in Germany to build
a system of electric railways on which
it is expected that passenger trains
will be run at n speed of from 40 to
100 miles an hour suggests the marvel
Gus possibilities of the immediate fu-
ture in the way of rapid transit.
Even at the rate of transit to be
achieved under the German system, a
remarkable transformation will be eff
fected in the methods and customs of
civilized life. With trains moving at
the rate OF $50 miles an hour, all the
region about New York within a ra-
dius extending to Albany would be
brought within the range of suburban
residence. Boston would be brought
within less than an hour and half Of
New York. Washington within n lit
tie more than that time. Buffalo less
than three hours. Chicago six hours
and San Francisco less than day.
What such marvellous achievements in
passenger transportation mean for the
industrial and commercial interests of
the country can be family imagined.
When it becomes possible, for exam
pie, for a New York man to make the
round trip to Chicago within twenty
four hours, and have n considerable
period of time for business included, it
may be readily conjectured that the
commercial interests of the country
will be affected by the change to a
very large and serious degree.-Les-

NEW BRITISH AIRSHIP.
Inventor of Portsmouth, England, Thinks
He Has Succeeded.


A new British airship, upon which
the inventor, Thomas Buchanan of
Portsmouth, has been working twenty
years, will be completed in few
weeks it is expected. The inventor is
confident that it will overcome the diff
ficulties encountered by NJ. Santos-Du-
mont. The great object in its con-
struction has been to follow the shape
of n bird, even to the head and the
beak. The principal steering gear is a
large aluminium rudder shaped like
fish's tail.
1t marks n new departure in the con-
structing of airships, as the passengers
will not be carried in car, but inside
the body of the contrivance. 1t Will
be driven by two powerful propellers.
one on either side. The blades are
especially constructed to get good
grip on the air.
The gasoline motors and cabin are
in the lower part of the airship, which
is built of steel and bamboo, with air
holes fore and aft. The front OF the
balloon toward the beak is transpar-
ent, so that the steerer may see the d.
rection in which he is going. The
whole ship is surrounded by cover
ing which reduces its angles and con-
sequently will lessen the resistance or
the air. Mr.. Buchanan is confident or
success. He will attend the trial trip
in n few weeks time. He says: MY
yacht will ascend or descend vertically
or from an angle without carrying bal
last and without loss OF buoyancy. 1t
will travel at any distance from the
earth's surface at any altitude, in any
direction against the wind at from ten
to forty miles an hour, according to the
head wind. 1t will cross from one con-
tinent to another and return and alight
within twenty yards of the place Of
starting. Being under perfect control
every way, it will remain stasonary
in midair for reconnoitering purposes
or discharging explosives"
