FUNERAL TROLLEY CAR.
baltimore street Railway Companies
Have Had Ono Built at Consid-
cradle Expense

Baltimore has a number of fine
suburban cemeteries, all of which are
reached by some division of the street
railway lines, and the company found
by putting in a few crossovers they
could take a car from any part of the
city to any one of the burying grounds.
1t was, therefore, decided TO offer cars
for transportation of funeral parties,
says the Street Railway Review. The
built a special car well adapt
ed for the purpose. The ear is di-
yided into two compartments, the
smaller of which has running it's full
length another compartment or vault
in which the casket is carried. A
heavy plate glass door hinged to swing
downward gives access to the vault
from the outside. When a casket is
to be placed in the car, the shelf is
drawn out, the casket lifted upon il.
and the shelf is then pushed back in
place. The larger compartment has
II cross seats in the center aisle, Civ
ing seating capacity of "a; the small
er compartment has four seats. Heavy
black curtains divide this section into
two private compartments for the i'm
mediate family of the deceased. Floral
contributions are piled upon the top
of the vault, and can be seen from
the street. The car is finished inside
and out with black enamel with nickel
plated fixtures. The car has been
named Dolores" meaning sorrow,
and it is rented at from $40 to $25 for
each interment.

Fire Alarm for BuiIJiue.

A new electric fire alarm is intend
ed to announce the appearance of
fire to passers-by outside the building
in which it Is placed. It consists of
metallic case containing a charge
of pyrotechnic compound similar to
a Bengal light, and surmounted by a
small igniting fuse. The whole is
made water-tight, and is arranged to
be put in position on corniee or
other prominent part of the build
ing. The fuse is connected through
thermostats with battery, so that a
high temperature in the vicinity OF
one OF the thermostats closes the cir
cult, explodes the igniting charge and
lights the slow-burning compound,
which gives brilliant light, md this
attracts the attention of people in
the neighborhood.

made of leather or tin and of any size
to suit, but convenient size is one
that will hold about one quart. The
piston rod, b, is IA inches square, to
tit inside the box, a, and a one-half-
inch hardwood pin, d, is made to serve
as a handle, Al c is n half-inch pin ex-
tending through the slot, G, which is
one-half by three inches. This is
placed ~ inches from the bottom, and
when the piston, b, is raised, it brings
the notch, f, just opposite the hole at
the bottom of the hopper. This notch
is about three-quarters inch deep, and
is made to hold, measure and convey
the peas from the hopper to the ground
beneath. The size of it is governed to
suit the number OF peas wanted.
TO work the planter, put the ma
chine down in the place for planting
pear down on the piston rod, which
takes the peas down to the bevel on tbe
inside of the box and drops them ON
the ground.-0range Judd Farmer.

WORKOUT STEEL RAILS.


Several thousand miles of new and
heavier rails are laid every year on
railroads in the United States, and
these renewals are made much oftener
than the actual requirements Of travel
call for them, there being a steady SUBJ
Stitution of heavy for light rails,
Nearly 90 per cent. of the track Of
all railways in the United States is
now Of steel. A steel rail will usually
wear ont first at the ends, owing TO
the wheels hammering over the open
Joints. The average life OF an iron
rail is six years, of steel rail II,
A 4O-pound steel rail-4O pounds to
each yard of would be taken
up and replaced by one of IS pounds;
55-pound rail would be replaced by
one of 10 pounds and 7O-pound rail
would be replaced by one Of s. pounds,
perhaps There is about one such
change at the end of each four years,
or three complete requirements of
rail during the time one would serve
in use.
The custom, general among Ameri-
can railroads, has given rise to the
question: What becomes of the old
steel rails, or rather those for which
others were substituted? ANY rail-
road man can readily give the answer.
They serve, secondhand, the inter-

TWO WAR INVENTIONS.


Two wonderful war inventions that
win increase the effectiveness of the
United States navy and our coast de-
lenses are to be tested at Sandy Hook.
One is a proiectile filled with the new
explosive called maXimite, invented by
Hudson Maxim. 1t will cost $4,000 a
shot to fire it, but one shell would de-
stroy $5,0OO,0OO battleship if it
struck it. The other invention is a
lightning speed torpedo that will
travel by its own propulsion at the
rate of As miles an hour, thrice the
Telocity of any torpedo now in use. A
steel target is being constructed Of
such size and weight of armor plate
that the result of discharges against it
will be very much like those that would
ensue if the target were real battle
shin.

TREES ON HIGHWAYS.
Some suggestions for Planting, To-
gether with n Few Friendly Hints
Against Enthusiasm.

Much has been written about trees
for planting along public highways,
but the only thing in view seems to
have been the selection of trees that
would make cool, refreshing bow
pr during the summer months and
that would be beautiful to look at
from a distance. Beneath a dense
growth of limbs and branches we have
a shade that is welcomed by man and
beast; the same dense growth also
prolongs the sleighing during winter,
and a merry spin is enjoyed over the
unmclted snow
That is all very pleasant; but let us
taste little of the bitter with the
sweet" After each shower and storm,
the bower of shade prevents the wind
and sun from drying the road there
under, and we and our beasts have to
contend with mud, mud! mudl In
the spring, when the Shadeless parts
of the highways have been thawed and
become dusty, our summer and winter
delight is still covered with ice. and
the blacksmith must be employed to
sharpen up the horses, just to get
over few slippery places The deep,
dense shade is thing of beauty and
delight during sunShiny weather; but
in dark, stormy nights, the pleasant
ness has vanished in a darkness that
would compare fayorably with Egyp-
tian blackness, and to 90 through it
at rate faster than walk would be
almost suicidal,
Trees when crowded usually lose
their lower limbs by dying off, and
users of the highways during windy
weather pass under thicNy-planted
trees ION pins and needles. with the
expectation of being struck by some
dead or weakened branch.
Fruit trees have been suggested to
take the place of maple, ash, elm, etc,
but there is an imperfection in the
scheme. Owners are afraid to risk
their stock Of fruit on such trees; it
would be taken for "public property"
by the nearby villagers, or by roughs
of questionable character.
In planting trees on highways these
points should be kept in view; (D To

ing of 400 gallons of water a minute,
which is sufficient to irrigate 500 acres
of trees or 200 acres of alfalfa BY the
use of the sun motor the item of fuel
is entirely done away with. Steam is
raised on snnshiny days by turning
the mirror frame until the proper
focus is obtained on the boiler. The
supply of water in the boiler and the
working of the machinery are ar
ranged automatically, so that little
human labor is needed in connection
with its use. The most immediate and
important use of the new motor is ex-
pected to be the furnishing of a sup
ply of water for irrigating the sandy
deserts of the southwest, where the
sun shines brightly for more than 20
per cent. of the days and fuel is almost
impossible to obtain.
