Speed of Locomotives Sested.

A locomotive on the New Jersey
Central Railroad was recently tested
with train of nine coaches, and made
over three miles at the rate of eighty
two miles per hour, and these per-
formances can be repeated regularly
This is not to say, however, that the
average rate Of speed of American
locomotives is over eighty miles per
hour, for it is very much less, but 1t
shows that they have a force in re-
serve which can be called on in emer-
gencies to make up lost time. The
only accurate data for comparing the
performances of locomotives are what
are technically called train sheets"
These are official records compiled for
the officers of the roads,in which moth
ing is extenuated or aught set down
in malice" and they show that, COM
pared with foreign locomotives, our
own are far ahead In all that consti-
tutes efficiency, speed and economy.

The Hofue ProferfS.

The report that the members of the
arbitration tribunal of The Hague con-
ference are to protest against Joseph
Chamberlain's speech on the employ
ment of Kaffirs against the Beers in
South Africa is the first sign OF life
we have had from that quarter in
long time. 1t is timely The discov-
cry that Great Britain has been arm
ing savages against the little remnant
of the republican forces is the latest
series of revolving revelations that
have deprived her of the last spark OF
foreign sympathy.
It was agreed in the beginning on
both sides that this was to be white
mans war. Had it been otherwise the
Beers could have offered such induce
ments to the huge masses of savages
enveioping the British settlements as
would have turned them loose upon
Cape Colony and Natal. The odds on
a white basis are SO tremendous
against the little republics that the
enlistment of Kaffirs against them APP
pears peculiarly mean. Are not the
55, 900, 900 people of European blood in
the Pritish Empire enough to dispose
of a quarter of a million Beers, with
out having to call in the black barba-
rians of Africa?-Chicago American.

SAYINGS and DOINGS
HoU the French StOiSfed the
Rrififh Lion'S Gail.

The Petit Bleu of Brussels publishes
an open letter from the Belgian his
torlan, Barral, to Edmond Rostrand,
the author of "L'Aiglon," which
touches on a curious point Of real or
alleged history. Rostand's wife Is
granddaughter of Marshal Gerard,
who in 1882 led French army through
Belgium.
The object of this letter is to ascer-
tain II Nine. Rostand has any papers
of her grandfather which may throw
light on the attack made by his troops
on the British Lion, which stands on
hill at Waterloo. The French SOL
diers, it seems, endeavorcd to over
throw this insulting monument, and 1t
was all that the marshal could do to
prevent it's destruction.
Now M. Barral has discovered that
though the British Lion is still there
its tail has been sadly twisted, and he
wants to know how and when.
The tall, once borne proudly aloft,
fiamboyant and aggressive, now trails
as Imply and tamely as that of the
harmless and necessary cat.
In the Brussels Museum is plaster
cast marked Model of the Lion of
Waterloo" and this has an erected
tail, while the iron on the battle field
has dropping one.
According to M. Barral's account, the
French soldiers broke off the lions
tail, which was subsequently replaced
by new one or by the old one in a
new position.
NJ Barral has also Intercepted the
proprietors of the Belgian foundry
where the lion was cast about 1880.
They state that the original model had
an elevated tail, and feel quite certain
that the cast was like unto 1T.
