LOCOMOTIVE
FOR RUN OF
5000 MILES

Chicago. March 16.--Three thousand
miles without q stop, and at the rate of
100 miles or more an hour. is the capacity
OF a new type OF locomotive which has
been ordered by the Southern Pacific rail-
road
IL Il does all that it's makers promise
for Il this locomotive, which is n revision
of the Diesel engine, will revolutionize
transportation,
The locomotive. or really power house
on wheels is entirely different from any
thing now In use. The cost OF operating
it will be less than one-half the cost OF
operating the present type OF steam en-
gine.
Fuel oil. costing but three to five cents
a gallon, is the only fuel that has to be
bought, and there Is no necessity for
erecting and maintaining expensive water
tanks or coal chutes.
The machine IL what IL known az the
four stroke cycle. There Is a compressed
air reservoir. from which the sswer Is
obtained for starting. This gives the
piston its FIRST stroke, when II takes in
the air alone at atmospheric pressure and
temperature.
The second stroke congresses this air
and raises Il 70 temperature OF about
1900 degrees Fahrenheit. The third stroke
is what Ia known as the working stroke
The oil is sprayed into the hot air. the

During the first part OF this stroke the

Ex-President Has Bought Two Adj
joining Farms in Tamworth, N. H.
The location of the future summer
home of ex-President Cleveland lies
on the lofty dome of Stephenson"
hill, so-called, in Tamworth, N. H.,
says the Boston Globe, where Mr.
Cleveland has just purchased two adj
Joining farms known as the Remick
and Downs farms.
The property acquired comprises
many acres of well-improved lands,
this being especially true in connec-
ton with the Remick farm, which for
years has been locally considered as
one of the best in the town.
The elevation is rising 800 feet and
the view is extensive and attractive.
overlooking mile upon mile of charm
ing forest, lake and mountain country

Hampshire famous.
The fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Cleve-
land are to establish permanent sum-
mer home in Tamworth is received by
the towns people with much grat1fica.
ton. 1t is realized that the Cleve-
lands will be a most important addi-
ton to the already large list of sum-
mer residents of the town.
1t is understood that Mr.. Cleveland
is now negotiating for the purchase of
other lands, and this fact would indi-
cate that his plan is to own a very
extensive estate. The location of the
property is little to the east from
the highest part of the hill and on a
good carriage road which leads down
the ridge to the village of Tamworth.
"Tamworth village" so-called, is a
little hamlet without railroad or tele
graph facilities, a mere handful OF
dwellings among the hills and some
two miles from the Cleveland proper
ty. 1t will be the natural point to
which the Cleveland family will turn
for postofice, church and other town
conveniences. The nearest railroad sta.
ton and telegraph Office is at West
Ossipee. some five miles away.

Il suppose you viii remain here for

pitality during your stay? The village
inns are, believe, wretchedly uncomfort-
able, and / should not like a friend of
my guardians to be driven to their shell

make you comfortable for this week at
least. Next week l am off again until
the end of the season, and shall have
to leave you to the mercies of the ser

Thank you very much" Jack began
hesitatingly; ''but did not anticipate

''Is that the only dficulty?" she in
terrupted gently. Pray don't let that
stand in the way. Mrs. Seton and

morning coat at dinner, and will promise
to think no less of you on that account.
We dine at half past seven, so that we

summer evenings in the gardens"
Jack raised his soft felt hat, and
watched her graceful figure as she glided
away down the dim leafy vista of the
wood. He wished that she had stayed
longer, that he might still be looking into
her glorious eyes, Watching the ever
changing lights that came and went as
rapidly as scudding clouds across sum-
mer sky. When at last a curve in the
path hid her from view he turned again
to his work with heavy sigh, wishing
it was already half past seven.

GUESSING AT THE WEATHER.
Government Signal Service Can Not,
of Course, BE InfalIibIe.


So important is a foreknowledge of
coming weather to the business inter-
ests of the country that some years ago
our government established, and YET
maintains at enormous expense, a
weather bureau for the express pur-
pose Of furnishing reliable daily pre-
dictiOns and probabilities. With that
class of our people to whom scientific
investigation appeals the weather bu-
reau has become highly popular, and
its predictions are relied upon by them
with a good deal of confidence. An
other large class whose members each
has system of weather forecasting
of his own, look upon the weather
maps and predictions of the weather
bureau as mere guesses and promptly
forget the ninety that are verified and
remember the ten that fail.
AS a matter of fact, from the very
nature of things meteorological, the
predictions of the weather bureau can
not be always correct. The system is
based upon what knowledge is possess
ed of meteorological laws, which is not
full and complete, and the atmospheric
conditions as ascertained by various
instruments. If all the weather changes
depended upon the lower atmospheric
conditions the instruments used by
the weather observer would promptly
and correctly indicate them and make
verification of every prediction prob
able, but it must be remembered that
the sudden and violent changes are
carried in stock and in the upper strata
of the atmosphere, too far away to
have any influence upon the barometer,
thermometer, thermometer and other
weather instruments. These conditions
of the upper air may swoop down sud
denly and upset the conditions of the
most careful weather expert. The gov
eminent is fully aware of this limita-
ton to its representations, and hence
they are warranted good for only "a
hours.
The oldest and most universal meth
cd of forecasting weather conditions
is by observation of the phases of the
moon. 1t is the simplest, the easiest
learned, and the easiest to remember,
and requires no instruments and in
wolves no intricate calculations. 1t
consists simply in observing the posi-
ton of the new moon. If it lies level
on its back, 1t is dry moon because
it is in a position ito hold water; but
if it hangs by one corner it is a wet
moon, because the water can easily
spill out This Is all there is to it
except that if the new moon is far
south 1t will alss be a warm moon, but
If far north it will be a cold moon.
There is a class of moon weather
prognosticators that hold to the theory
that when the new moon lies level on
its back it will be a wet moon, be-
cause it Is in a position to hold water,
and If it hangs by one corner 1t will
be dry moon, because all the water
has already run out.
To an ordinary mind these two
moon theories contradict each other,
but In reply to this 1t can be said that
predictions of the kind of weather that
is to come, based upon either of these
apparently contradictory theories, are
verified about as often on the one the
DRY as upon the other, and so it mat
tiers not which theory the forecaster
adopts he will hit it right half the time.

POrcupiues anu 5aIt.

Some men who were camping In the
Adirondacks several years ago. on
breaking camp in the autumn. left an
old tub which was saturated with
salt brine. On returning to the same
camp the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until little
Of it was left. They were not long in
finding out what animal had done the
work, for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such nuisance that the
campers We're obliged to kill them to
protect their property. The handle Of
a paddle was gnawed half through.
The explanation Of their presence
in such numbers during that year.
when they had not been noticeably
abundant In the previous year. is that
they had made rendezvous Of the
camp being attracted by the old brine
tub. On this they Toasted all winter.
and for tat reason We're greatly
pleased with the locality.
An interesting query Is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or nat
ural taste? Were they ever able to
crafty that taste to any extent be-
fore man gave them chance to do
so?-St. Nicholas.
