THIRD RAIL SYSTEM.
Test on the Baltimore ana ohio Rail-
road Proves II 20 he Decided
Success.

A test which finally settled the prac-
ticability of the Murphy third rail sys-
tenn was made at Baltimore the other
day, and the Baltimore g. Ohio railroad
officials have agreed that the inventor
has fulfilled his contract.
The final test was made in the pres
ence of number of railroad financiers
and electrical experts. A train of 2S
loaded coal cars, together with heavy
dead engine and caboose, were hauled
from the Camden station wards
through the tunnel to Mount Royal
station, up steep grade, without any
difficulty. The biggest steam engine
could not do this. Steam locomotives
were tried, and two were often stalled
at the difficult curves on the grade.
With the third rail system current
of 900 amperes was used, while with the
overhead system, about to be discard
ed, current of from 1900 to 1900
amperes was necessary.

AN ANCIENT MONASTERY.
An American Girl Writes of a visit
to Certosa-Where a Famous
Chartreuse Comes From.

We stopped in the chapel of the
monastery of Certosa on our way back
from the cloisters and there was still
one monk at his devotions, writes Jean
Webster, in Truth. The brother who
conducted us did not see him until we
were well into the room, and then he
hastily led the way to the altar to
show us some carving. The living
monk, however, was more interesting
if you could call him living. He
never raised his eyes from his book
during the five minutes we fingered
over the carvings, but murmured over
his prayers as oblivious to our pres
ence as if we were thousand miles
away. As we left the room, however,
we looked back, and for second we
saw him shoot glance in our direc-
ton, but he Immediately dropped on
his knees and bent his head lower as
if to do penance for that one worldly
look.
Our old frater left us at the bottom
of the stairs, and we watched him as
he disappeared down the low, dark
corridor, his white robes tapping be-
hind him as he walked. Then we
turned into the spezeria of the monas-
terry to buy some of the chartreuse
which all good pilgrims to Certosa
take away. The sale of this famous
cordial has always been the chief
source of revenue TO the Carthusians.
1T is made by the monks from roots
and herbs, but the recipe is a secret of
the order. While we were discussing
whether we would better purchase
the green or yellow chartreuse, the
man in charge told us that the green
was for gentlemen and the yellow for
ladies', and when we asked why they
drew such fine distinctions, he replied
that the green went to ''ze head"
AS the iron gate changed behind us,
we looked up at the grim walls, and
framed in the archway at the top of
the stairs we caught glimpse of the
old frater. We waved good-by to him
in most friendly manner, and for a
moment his face relaxed in a smile of
amusement at these giddy young
things who came from distant land,
where neither gray hairs nor the rules
of the strictest religious body in the
world are reverenced.
