Electric Fire Enalne.

The General Electric company. says
Electricity, has offered to furnish the
city of Schenectady with new cleo
tric fire engine. II the offer is ac-
cepted this will be one of the first
cities in the world to be equipped with
an electric fire engine. The engine is
to be twelve feet long, thirty inches
wide and thirty inches high, and will
weigh about a ton. The engine will
be provided with cable that will
allow 1t to be attached to a socket
on a pole not more than 200 yards
from the fire. The electric power thus
received will be used to operate the
pump, which has capacity of 1900
gallons minute. The advantages of
this engine are that 1t can be operated
at less expense than steam engine.

needs but one man TO operate it.

pweIler, In the Amoor Valley.

The condition of the inhabitants of
the Amoor valley deserves tho es-
pecial attention of ethnologists on
account of the contradictions between
the customs which there obtain in
practical. intellectual. social and re-
ligious life. The indigenous people
are fishermen, the hunters are Tun-
guses, the herdsmen are Mongols. and
the villagers are Chinese or Coreans.
The material life-food. clothing.
household goods; the intellectual life
language. writing. literature; the
social life-birth and marriage Gus
toms. education. property relations.
funerals; are all in complete logical
contradiction. There are few parts of
the world that afford such opportun-
tiles for the study OF the influence of
the different culture conditions upon
one another.

Increase Of Mechanical Power.


In 1880 the total horse power of
steam engines In the United States
was about 100000; in 1900 it was
20,000.000. an increase of 10000 per
cent. The total motive power. ex-
elusive of hydraulic motors. increased
in the seventy years from 100000 to
100000 horse power. The increase
of population in this interval was 493
per cent. In 1880 the horse power per
inhabitant was 0.15 and or horse pow
er in 1900. Since 1880 the horse
power OF locomotives alone has in
creased 1928 per. cent, while the popu-
lation increased only So per cent. The
total wealth of the country in this
interval has increased prodigiously,
the percentage being 300. In 1880 the
wealth per inhabitant was about s365.
and in 1900 $1,000. 1t must be noted.
howevxr. that the wealth per inhabi-
tan., which increased 100 per cent
from 1850 to 1870. increased but 81
per cent from 1880 to 1900. Since
1853 the urban wealth began notably
to exceed the rural wealth. To-day the
former constitutes rs per cent of the
total. In 1860 wages constituted two
and half per cent of the total wealth.
while they make seven per cent to-day.
The average wages of workmen have
increased from $500 per year in 1850
to $675 to 1900.

suece., Of EIeetrIe Translt.

The electric railway is to perform a
service for mankind as notable and
perhaps ultimately as great as that
rendered by It's steam operated prede-
cessor. says George II. Gibson in En-
gineering Already 1t handles the
bulk of suburban and short distance
Interurban passenger traffic; 1t carries
freight. mail express and baggage; 1t
operates at speeds reaching sixty
miles per hour; its cars are operated
on time schedules and dispatched by
telephone; Its roadbed Is often as ex-
pensive and heavy of construction as
tnat of thu best steam lines; and,
what is more interesting to the in
vestor, 1t pays large dividends. At the
present time 1,eoO, 100000 are nomi-
nally invested in electric roads in the
United States, and upon this sum ST.
100000 are paid in yearly dividends;
100000 employees receive yearly in
wages $3.50. 100000. and there are 90.
900 miles OF track, on which 10000
cars are run. In 1899 ten miles of
electric road were built for every mile
of steam road constructed. Still. II
cannot be said that the electric roads
have achieved their great success in
competition with steam roads. They
have opened a field OF development
which does not compete with. and was
not open 10 steam. The peculiar ad-
vantages OF the electric system OF
traction are frequent service. fiexibil-
ity. convenient location. clean, light
and airy cars and low fares. OF these.
probably the most important are loca-
tion and the ability to maintain a FIRE
quent service with small units. BY
these means electric roads have sue
ceeded where traffic did not previously
exist and could not have been pro-
duced by steam roads.

Acquired charaeterlstles.

The question whether characters
tics that have been acquired by an ami
NAL during its lifetime are or can be
transmitted to its offspring is one that
divides two schools Of naturallsts,
Weisman maintaining the negative. As
the controversy is Of ancient date and
not yet settled. Its solution cannot be
simple. Have facts like the following
a bearing on the question? There was
at one time race of dogs that chased
their Prey and did not point at it, as
settlers and other breeds now do. Some
one or more of these dogs took to
pointing at game. The trick was use
frl to some man or men. who encour-
aged It. The acquired habit of these
particular dogs has certainly been
transmitted by Inheritance to the
pointers end settlers of to-day. There
is probably some fallacy or some mis-
conception of the question in the fore
going statement. which. on its face,
would seem decisive OF the matter al
issue.

moisture through its stem and leaves,
1t necessarily grows lighter. and the
air chamber below forces 1t to rise
higher above the water. This de-
presses the point OF the lever. The
actual vertical movement is, of course,
small. but IT can be multiplied to any
extent desired simply by lengthening
the lever arm.
The diameter of the rod being
known, a simple calculation gives the

Valuable Fire Fighting Machine.

Springfield, Mess, has fire engine
trolley truck. which can be loaded in
two and a quarter minutes, and on
which electricity carries the engine
to the scene of the flames at a breath
taking rate of speed. II car tracks run
that way. 1t is especially designed for
going to fires in the suburbs or in
neighboring small towns. which are
obliged in case Of great fires to call
upon the city for assistance. The
truck is built SO that it can be easily
operated by an electric motor attach
ed to the axle of the truck, or can be
drawn by a trolley car or snow
plough. The invention consists OF
two trucks. on which are placed Iron
platforms. To this rear truck is at
tached a platform which connects the
two trucks, and upon which the FIRE
engine is carried. The length over
the platform railing is twenty-eight
feet eight inches; the extreme length
from edge of footboard to fender is
thirty feet ten and half inches.

PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company Said to
Have Purchased More Property

1t is reported that the p, w. & B.
Railroad Company has purchased a
part of the land now occupied by the
plant Of the Pusey and Jones Com
pany. To bear this out is the fact that
Alvin r. Morrison has obtained a con-
tract to build foundations for new
buildings in the shipyard below the
present buildings. II is said that the
new buildings probably will occupy
one-quarter of an acre.
When seen today by a reporter foI
the Evening Journal, and asked if the
report were true. Mr.. Switzerland, an
official Of the company, said: There
is no truth in the report, and this is
the first l have heard Of it We have
not sold any land to the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, and l know Of no
improvements or additions to be made
here. The only contract Alvin r.
Morrison has from us is the building
of a foundation for the water tank
which we intend to erect in the yard
of the plant. No, there is no truth in
the report, and don't understand how
such things ever originate"
