Electric Motor Bes.s Steam.

Consideration of safety of tracks,
which has heretofore limited the pos
sibilities of high speed with steam To-
cUmotiyes. promises to be largely re-
roved as a factor in the development
of the electr.., locomotive. Only those
familiar with the development of the
passenger locomotive of the last ten
years can appreciate to the full to
what extent the counterbalance on the
mammoth drive wheels of the flyers
played havoc with even the best con-
<sr1cted tracks. Now comes the
steady running eletcric locomotive,
with the uniform rotative effort OF Its
motors and no counterbalance to
wreck the peace of mind of the

So perfect was the control of the mo-

of thirty miles an hour was reached IN
one minute, and yet so steady was the
acceleration and so free from pound

experienced railroad men believed the
speeds to be as high as they actualiS

built with an especial eye TO high
speed. but with the idea of keeping TO
an ordinary passenger schedule
While this locomotive is 10 be- thor

electric locomotive to handle heavy

weather much better than any steam

Healthy Mcthers.

Mothers should always keep in good
bodily health. They owe it to their
children. Yet it is no unusual sight to
see a mother. with babe in arms, cough
ing violently and exhibiting all the
symptoms of a consumptive tendency.
And why should this dangetous condi-
tion exist, dangerous alike to mother
and child, when DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup would put stop to it at once!
No mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house-for its
timely use will promptly cure any lung,
throat or bronchial trouble in herself
or her children. The worst cough or
cold can be speedily cured by German
Syrup; so can hoarseness and conges-
tion of the bronchial tubes. 1t makes

FIRST SLAVES IN AMERICA.
Documents Prove Year 1901 to Be

"One of the common, everyday. er-
rors which is taught in the schools in
America is that which relates TO the
Introduction into the western hemi-
sphere of African slavery" writes

the school girl and school boy study

when a Dutch sea captain sold the
English settlers the fret African. The
year 1901. however, is the date Of the

In the event of peace between

possible that Japan will be al

If any peace commissions

which is Chinese territory, the

N-Ray the CIairvoyant of Science.

The scientific clairvoyant is the NJ
ray, revealing the secrets of charac.
ter DR.. S. Hooker has given the psy-
chical turn to N-ray research by an
nOuncing as the fruit of extensive in
vestieations that he had confirmed the
theory of previous eXperimenters and
that the human body emits Nrays OF
various hues from which the charac-
ter of the individual can be deter
mined. Some eminent scientists ridl-
cule the idea, some adopt a tolerant
attitude, while the psychological fra
ternity declared they had been aware
of the existence of these color charac-
terstics for years. Sir William Ram
sey states he has never detected the
rays. but intimates he is open to con-
viction. The skepticism that various
critics have expressed regarding the
N-rays has prompted NJ. Blondlot to
reply at some length. He emphatic
ally affirms that he can perceive the
rays with the greatest certainty. He
considers it quite natural that persons
who cannot see the action of the rays
on a phosphorescent screen should
doubt their presence; he recommends
them to lean the pack and head
against a wall and then to observe
the screen by holding it az level be-
low that of the eyes. so that a plane
through the eyes and middle of the
screen makes an angle of 80 degrees
OF more with the horizon.

There is not the slightest inten-
ton on the part of France, Italy,
Germany or Austria that Japan
shall have Port Arthur now after
the war any more than it did
after the war with China. Japan
then selected Port Arthur, but
had to be content with the island
of Formosa.
If the disputed territory be-
longed to Russia it would be al
together another matter. But
as the territory or no part of it
belongs to eeither Russia or
Japan, but is distinctly Chinese
territory neither can expect to
secure more rights than they
already possess. However the

Demands Of Russian People.

Significant of the change which
has come over Russia is the tone
in which the people express their
wishes. They demand rather
than request that urgent reform S
be made and the fact that they
do this and that their sentiments
are voiced in some of the leading
papers of the country shows that
the authorities are aware that a
change has taken place.
The people want national as
S ,mbly called and it is possible
that the car will comply. He
will be compelled to do so if the
war is prolonged. Should he
make a favorable peace with
Japan. he probably would feel
free to resist the people in a
measure. He could then bring
the Manchurian army back 10
Russia, and an army returning
from a long campaign is, as
rule, a more effective tool in the
hands of a despot than it was
when it first took the field. 1t
would be well for the hope of
freedom in Russia if the war
should be prolonged and especi-
ally if it be marked by new and
striking disasters.
But the change which has been
wrought in Russia cannot be
wholly eradicated. The day OF
the peoples deliverance may be
delayed, but the autocracy and
the bureaucracy are perceptibly
weaker than ever before in the
history of the country and they
will never regain all they have
lost. The car will be forced to
make important concessions, even
though he may avoid a call for a
national assembly.
The people have tasted liberty
and SO has the press. 1t will be
impossible to shackle them as
effectually as they were before
this movement was begun. 1t is
said that revolutions never &c
backward and it is probable that
the movement in Russia will vim
dicate this proverb.
A national assembly would
bring together representatives OF
the people and probably result
in the establishment of some kind
of constitution. The people de.
mand participation in the affairs
Nof the government and the right
to show the car why certs III
measures should be adopted.
He has seemed at times disposed
to grant this altogether reason

erted in the opposite direction,
and between these con flictina
forces he has seemed unable tC
