A LOCOMOTIVE ON FEET.

posed of an upper and a lower hori-
zontal Ear, or rail, with springs be-
tween them. The weight of the ma
chine rests upon this device, and the
lowermost rail bears down on the three
or four rollers Immediately under 1t.
In other words, short piece OF rail Is
made TO slide continuously on an endless
procession of wheels, whereas on an or
binary railroad there are few wheels
rolling over an endless line of rails.
Because of this highly original combina-
ton. the inventor calls the revolving
frame "pedrail," the first syllable OF
the name being derived from a Greek
word signifying foot.
Frof. Hele-Shaw says that he is con-
yinced that nothing can take the place
of the ordinary wheel and rubber tire
on good road, but he is also convinced
that the wheel itself has reached It's
utmost limit of carrying power, both
in regard to weight and speed, upon the
ordinary roads, however well the roads
may be constructed or however perfect
ly the wheel may be made. The profess
sor argues that many great inventions
are limitations of the working of nature
itself. He instances the screw propei-
ler as being an exact reproduction OF the
action of the fish in swimming; but be-
cause the motive power of the propel-
Ter has to be of rotary nature the
continuous revolution of the screw Is
substituted for the intermittent action
of the fishs tail. Screw propulsion. the
professor adds, may be said to have
solved the great problem of ocean navi-
cation.
Prof. Hele-Shaw submits this Ques-
ton: Is there in use a means of To-
comotion on land initiating successfully
the marvellous natural process of animal
locomotion. but modified to suit the me-
chanical requirements, of the case? The
wheel, he says, falls hopelessly short OF
the mechanical action OF an animal
foot. The animal does not turn upon
its foot; the turning takes place upon
the ankle, which. being flexible and hav-
ing a ball-and-socket joint perfectly lu-
bricated. affords the very minimum OF
resistance. The foot is placed upon the
ground and kept there thus insuring the
minimum of rubbing action with the
surface, whereas the wheel is adapted
only to turn on the surface of the
ground itself Secondly. while the wheel
when 1t strikes an object meets with
bodily resistance. the foot can be brought
down upon an obstacle and the body ele.
waited over it gradually with the leas
possible amount of shock. These con
siderations have naturally suggested thu
invention of walking machines.
With this one a person can go up
stairs and climb terribly steep hill
sides. Another merit is that 1t does no
damage road over which it travels.

REV F. F. JOHNSON TO PREACH SUNDAY
 MORNING.
 , On Sunday there will be Holy Com munion at 10 a. m., with mornin service, Sunday school and evening service at the usual hours. Rev +. F. Johnson will preach for MT George in the morning.
 Rev F. F. Johnson, just returned from California, preached to large audience at Trinity, last Sunday morn ing. He chose as his text, St Mattnew 4: 3-4. He spoke of using the forces oI nature for mans use, as turning sbone into bread. He pointed out there was no reason why we should disparage the turning of stone into oread. Man was dependent on food. The Christian n faith does not ignore the human side of things. The speakers plea was aoainst making this the sole aim of human life. In meeting business men On the trains they seem to point out to their friends the great material prosperity of the places as they pass through them. But how few think of that higher prosperity of the soul, which should demand the earnest at tention of every person. His sermon was filled with Interesting and very graphic illustrations and was greatly

Rare Chance to buy  Cheap.

 up has resulted in a sale,
 such a sale as we doubt you've ever hnown before.
 Every suit in the store that was originally any, where from $I7.5o to $27.5o has been given a new price, and the new price Is in no case more than two-thirds of the old.
 These are all suits that were made for the present season. They are of sea- @onabIe and fashionable fabrics; they are made in the best of the accepted styles, they run from plain models to richly trimmed sorts.
 But there are more of them than we care to fhave at this time Of the year so the new prices are made. / Here are the old prices and the new: ...
