HoRsELEss CARRIAGES.

On the 30th of January The Scientific American issued an Automobile Num- ber." which contains a wonderful amount of illustrated information about this mod ern and wonderful Innovation on old me- thods of traveiing. In truth it is really sUr- prising to any casual reader to note the rapid advance made in manufacturing getting over ground. It may very well be called "A triumph of Mechanical Achievement as one writer speaks of 1t, for it has gone forward till some of the machines exhibit the finest forms of car riage building. as well as the best speci- tion and workmanship. As the popularity of motor carriages increases, and other Improvements in construction are made, we may expect to see the machines be- come q common mode of travel, not only in the cities but over the common roads least one good effect, for 1t is bound to bring about the read improvement 50 badly needed in most sections of the country. That alone will be a cause for congratulation.
 There is one feature connected with mo- tor carriages. however. that may we'll cause some apprehension, and that is the question Of speed. Already there have been a numhr of fatal accidents rccord-' ed. ana We may expect q material :n- crease in the numbers. Speed records are becoming quite common. and the danger to the public is real. If the drivers of these carriages would confine their races to tracks kept for the purpose, as is tLs case with horse racing, it would be well enough, but this will not be done. Auto mobiles for road use are getting quite common, and they will be more so as prices are reduced and roads improved And unless prevented Ly law there will be racing on the common roads, and the danger to the public will be actual and constant. Records 2pproa6 hing 100 miles an hour have already been made. and we may expect owners of fine machines 60 be constantly endeavoring to pass each other, both in speed and in actual road trials. The law may have to be invoked for the protection of the public, just as horse racing is prohibited along our pub lie roads.
 Not the least interesting feature of this newspaper article is picture of an au- tomobile made in 1890 by one MT. Philion, of Akron, Ohio. and still treasured and preserved by him, both as a relic and as an obJect for comparison. By the side of one of the latest makes of autos tilis machine looks like Stephenson's first steam engine compared with one of our present locomotives. It is fitted up with a small steam engine and boiler, and is altogether a clumsy looking affair, but it travelled, and may be looked on as al- most the beginning of horseless carriages. Then.too it was rated at only one-horse power. which doubtless causes the makers of some late machines to smile.

 One notable contrast in these two ut terances of the Alabama Congressman is the glowing rhetoric of the first ana the sober statement of the ones recently made. Some Democratic politicians ln- dulged in a good deal of rhetoric in 1896. It was more in keeping with their cause than plain logic.

 We rejoice to hear that the inventive spirit of The Age Is equal to any demand and we now have condensed eggs" Since hens seem to be on an extended strike, and the price of eggs remains so high, that they are out of reach of all, except the very rich, condensed eggs will come in the nature of a consolation fo the poor man and take rank along side of con densed milk which has done duty for the fresh article so successfully.

The April number OF THE Musical Times" OF
London, prints extremely interesting bio
graphical notice Of Edward A MacDoweIl. which
IS made almost photographed by numerous
quotations from Mr.. MacDowelrs own letters or
other writings In its final summing up Of the
Americans abilities as composer, THE Musi-
cal Times" says:
Few. II any, win deny that Dr. MacDoweIl is the
foremost composer in America. To say that beauty
tai kingdom Is perfectly true, but & is the
whole truth concerning him. Above all else he IS
poetical composer. Not that he form,
allows his melodio gifts and harmonic instincts to
riot-he is too serious artist TO adopt the
methods OF iconocla1t or to resort to eccentric
strlvirxs after effect: but his music IS
dry classcalism neither does II smell of the lamp
the contrary, as one Of his pupils has said il
gives distinct impression OF ''outdoorness."
In the words OF Mr.. James Hunel1er: "MacDowel
is fond Of the open air. For him always the
heather and she wind that sweeps across It, the
crags OF the highlands and the bonny blue OF the
sky" a great thinker, his music Is free from all
art0otaity, the product OF artist and earnest
minded man, literally endowed with brains, which
he uses TO the best advantage for the furtherance
OF his art 1t IS impossible TO do justice TO the
many creations of the subject Of this sketch with
