A Wonderful Motor.
, New York Commercial.

From the New York Commercial
 Details are published of a wonderful new moter invented by Peter Thorney, an English engineer The invention is con- sidered of such importance that it's de- velopment may result in express railway engines running at twice their present speed at only half the cost and in Atlan- tic liners crossing from Liverpool to New York in three days.
 It is almost small enough to be carried in a typewriter case. The new moter is capable of developing fifteen hundred rev. olutions minute, giving fifteen horse power under boiler pressure of two hun dred pounds to the square inch
 In even the best railway locomotive the steam is admitted after the piston has moved from five to eight inches along the cylinder. MT. Thornley has devised valve which will admit given quantity of steam at every commencement of the stroke and so nicely adjusted that the expansive force of the steam admitted Is just sufficient to drive the piston at the end of its journey.
 By the most modest estimate the saving in coal is twenty-five per cent. while the simplicity of the motor is such that the initial cost is much cheaper than existing types.

Senator cockreIrs Lost Apples.


 Missouri is the greatest apple state in the union, and perhaps that Is the reason why Senator Cockrell always restricts his luncheon to two big red apples. Recently when the time for his midday meal ar- rived the senator called a page
 Boy, take this to my clerk in the com mittee room,' said he, giving the youth a scrap of paper carelessly folded.
 The page ran out of the senate chamber to MT. Cockrells office The note was de- livered to the clerk, who handed the page two plump apples. That was what the note instructed him to do.
 A half hour passed. Senator Cockrell was enduring the bangs of hunger What became of the boy who went after my ap- ples?'' said he.
 The lad. entirely unsuspicious of any thing amiss, was summoned into the sen ator's presence. He explained that he thought the apples were his reward for delivering the message. He had eaten them.
 The frugal Missourian saw the joke in the situation. He could not restrain a laugh.

Washington, January So.-President Roosevelt and Representative Floss of lii nois have been invited to attend dinner of the Waukegan, H., Bachelor club in honor of the awarding of a gold medal to the first one of it's members to be father to twins.

The first president of the club was the mayor of Waukegan and 1t was he who designed and offered the gold medal for the twins The mayor was the next man to draw the marrying card also the first to produce twins. He could rot very well award the medal to himself and allowed it to be competed for. It now goes to T. H. Durst cashier of a Lank of that city.
 Representative Foss, who also Is the father of twins and represents the Wau- kegan district, was invited because of these facts. and President Roosevelt has been bidden to the ceremony because of bis we'll known ideas on race suicide.

Des Moines. Jan. 29.-The commit
tee of rules of the state senate has
recommended and approved a rule for
adoption by the senate which Will revo-
lutionize the business of handling the
appropriations in the senate, and al
most in the legislature. The rule would
provide:
That all appropriation bills shall of

That all appropriation bills shall oe
reported back 10 the senate on or before
March 10 next.
That all appropriation bills be COR
sidered separately and by the entire
senate sitting as n committee of the
whole. before being acted on by the
senate.
Such a rule would bring before the
senate for free and fair discussion
every bill for an appropriation, and it
would prevent the custom OF having
bills held over until near the closa
of. the session and all dumped into
the senate in a manner that forces
passage of many of the bills without
consideration The rule would deprive
the committee on appropriations oi
