SPEEDY ELECTRIC MOTORS
They Are Constructed on Lines e.
sentially Different from Those
Now in General Use.

Electric locomotives now building
differ radically in their electric features
from any locomotives hitherto shown.
The motors are bi-polar gearless. the
magnetic circuit, the field windings,
and the motor poles being integral
with the locomotive frame and spring
supported. The laminated pole faces
are vertically congenital to the arma-
lures. thus providing for the vertical
movement of the locomotive frame,
with attached poles. without affecting
the armature air gap. The armature
Is assembled on alquill which is pressed
solidly on the axle. Including the ar
mature. axle and wheels, the dual
weight of the assembled rotating parts
is less than on many steam locomo-
tives, and, there being no uncompen-
stated reciprocating parts, rotative bal
ance approaches perfection. The new
electric locomotive will have four pairs
of motor wheels and two pairs of pony
truck wheels. the length of the total
wheel base being 81 feet and of the rigid
wheel base Is feet. Driving wheels will
be "A inches in diameter and the truck
wheels Sc inches, with the driving axTes
eight and one-half inches. The locomo-
tive will be double ender. obviating the
use of turn-table. and will be provided
with all the usual accessories Of steam

also be heated by electric coils. In per-
formance the engine is expected to give
better results than any hitherto placed
on rails. With light train the locomo-
tive is expected to give speeds up to 75
miles an hour. and with heavier trains
similar speeds can be attained by coup

The Rev. X. C. rockingham, vicar of
Hexton, England, says he is going to
America to preach his remarkable doc
trine of WAR and Christianity" He
considers it possible that Christianity,
which died as far back as the fourth
century, may be restored because the
churches don't try to teach that a
young man cannot commit a greater
sin than that Of enlisting. He says all
churches are apostate. He declares
Christian churches should excommuni-
cate generals and coIones till they give
up their profession. How can a man
be Christian. he asks. who takes
money for numbering his fellow men /?
II the churches were Christian they
could stop all wars.

of land. shaped like a trapezoil, may ex-
tend from near the north pole toward

Bennett island, another q little west
OF north from Point Barrow, q third

Land, and the fourth north Of Lincoln

q study OF the direction and velocity
Of surface currents in the Arctic ocean,
and Of the range Of the tides at differ
ent known points round and in that
ocean. A remarkable change in the time
of the tides on the northern coast Of

BUG GETS FINE TOBACCO.
Minute Insect Comes from Cuba in
the Finest Havana and Eats
the Cigars.

Don't you want some fine Havana
tobacco?" saio the tobacconist to Gus
toner. Il am just breaking up some
30-cent cigars and the tobacco in them
ought to be pretty good"
He had cigar box nearly full Of the
rich, dark-looking leaves, says the New
York Sun. The customer eyed them
laughingly for moment and then
said, with a sigh:
Thirty cent cigars are just about
the size of my taste. but world too
big for my income"
mot at ALL" said the tobacconist,
cheerfully. Il am going to put this
tobacco in paper bag and give it to
you without money and without price.
And here is one of the 30-cent cigars.
/ give you that also"
"Well.' said the customer, "you are
very kind. certainly. But 1t seems a
little queer. Do you give these little
handouts to everybody
"Oh, I'm not at all buggy" said the
clerk, laughing. "The bug is in the
cigar. not in my upper story.
Look at your 30-cent cigar. Don't
you see those two little holes in the
side-right there in the middle of the
cigars back. just where fine cigar
smoke gets at its best?"
Sure enough, there were the holes
They looked as though pin might
have been thrust into the back Of the
cigar
THE bug made 'em," said the clerk.
Hes not much bigger than a flea.
He is an epicure. too. He only comes
with the finest Havana leaves.
He is so small that the cigarmaker
rarely sees him when he makes the
cigar. The little beggar that ruined
that cigar was wrapped down in Cuba
when the cigar was made Maybe the
egg out Of which he was Matched was
wrapped up
At all events he got there, and
when one of those bugs gets into q
cigar 1t is good-by cigar, and, gener-
ally speaking, it is good-by all the
other cigars in the box. The bug
worked his way out OF the cigar you
have through one of those two holes
in the side Then he tackled all the
other cigars within reach.
He wasn't satisfied with making
the hole he came out of in the cigar
you have. He made another hole and
worked back into it again Maybe
there were more bugs than one in
this particular box. Anyway the bug
or bugs did the business for the whole
lot.
Out of 25 30-cent cigars that came
in this box from Cuba there were just
seven that were not ruined, so far as
sale is concerned. The one you have
was about as little damaged as any.
IF you put little piece of paper
over the holes you can smoke the ci-
gar all right. It's flavor is not dam
aged. But we never could sell it.
When we have a box thus affected
there is nothing to do but break up
the cigar into smoking tobacco and
giveIt away.
III is all dead loss to us when a |
box cf cigars is thus ruined. We can't |
get Sack to the person who sold the
cigars to us. We have to take the
chance OF the bug and pocket the loss"

During the years from 1882 to 1901 the
French army lost $1,000 men by illness.
while In Germany the corresponding fig-
pre- was only $4,000. The cause of this
disparity lies LARGELY in the effort to
keep the army of France, whose popu-

the consequence being that many re-

CARE OF THE IRON HORSE
When In from q Run a Locomotive
Receives as Much Attention a.
q Thoroughbred.

Anyone at all familiar with railroads
has seen the engineer dismount from
the cab, oil can in hand, as soon as the
train has come to stop at some way
station; seen him walk slowly about
the ponderous machine, feeling of each
bearing with his free hand as he filed
the cups with oil; seen him, perhaps,
tap a valve gently with a wrench or ex-
anime critically some ill-working air
pump.
To any man all this is interesting. but
how many are there in all the vast
crowd that enter the city daily at the
great terminals who can tell offhand
what becomes of the train when once
the cars are emptied of the passengers?
To be sure. they have seen the cars
on siding out in the yard They know.
perhaps. that roundhouse is a place
where. engines are kept when not in
actual use. But beyond this the ideas
of the ordinary man are a bit hazy.
As soon as the passengers have left
train that has just come in from a long,
dusty run it is backed out into the yard
and the cars are set on on side track.
Men go upon them at once and begin to
put them in readiness for the next trip.
The windows are washed, cars freed
from filth and dirt, seats cleaned, water
tanks cared for and the lighting APP
paratus put in order.
The locomotive, after leaving the cars.
proceeds at once to the roundhouse.
where the ponderous machine also re-
ceiyes proper oyerhauling. First Of
all, the tanks are filed with water and
the fuel supply is replenished. Then a
few puffs bring the firebox above the
ashpit, where the fires are cleaned and
dumped all together The next thing is
to stable the great iron horse.
The roundhouse itself is most unin-
viting place, with its SCOT -begrimed
walls and smoky interior. These build
ings are ali constructed on the same

generally built of brick and semicircle
in shape. The center of the circle is
the center of the turntable. Arranged
along the inner side of the building is
line OF doors. each exactly like its
neighbor. Under each runs a track ri

appearance not unlike spiders web,

The turntable itself consists of q pit
walled with stone. across which Is n
bridge free at the ends but balanced at
the center on spindle Rails are laid

bed.
When the fires of the locomotive have
been cared for the engineer runs his
machine upon the table. With def
hand at the throttle he brings It to q
stop at the precise point where the huu-
dred tons of steel balance on the spin
die that supports the bridge. Then the
ponderous mass Is slowly revolved until
the required track is reached and the
engine is backed into the roupdhouse
