The nearest cook-shop had been called

a capon, a bowl of salad, a small dish
Of the new vegetable peas, two large

greatest delicacy of all, a plate of
oranges: For lack Of room or the

floor near by. representing the liquid
portion of the feast.

cautions are taken with the seed in
tended for planting this spring there
will be poor stand and proportion

euRLlNGToN's NEW LIGHTS.
Use Electricity Generated by Revolv
ing Car Wheels.
10 Times-Republicar

Special TO Times-Republican.
Council Bluffs, Feb. 6.-The Burling-
ton will place in service electric lighted
sleepers and observation cars between
Chicago and Council Bluffs, commence
ing Monday evening. The cars are to
be lighted by electricity supplied by
the wheels of the coaches. In other
words the company proposed to utilize
the waste energy of the car wheels to
illuminate the coaches. The cars are
now lighted by acetylene gas, but there
are several objections to this tllumln-
ant for long distance railroad coaches.
The idea of using the energy OF the
car wheels for lighting purposes is not
a new one, but it is the first time that
it has been attempted on the Burling-
ton. Storage batteries are provided,
and after coach attains velocity OF
over ten miles an hour the device ON
the axles begins to take up the energy
in the shape of electricity and trans
fers it to the storage batteries. In this
way enough latent power is taken UP
bv the batteries to furnish light for
seven hours after a car comes to q
standstill. The cars to be supplied for
the present are the sleepers and OBJ
seryation cars Nos. 2 and 8. The hrst
named train leaves Council Bluffs at
$3.50 %. m. The train going west leaves
Chicago at o'clock in the evening.
For the present the coach and chair
cars Of these trains will be supplied
with acetylene gas.

1t is quite likely that Professor
Charles A. Cumming will not paint the
lunettes in the state house rotunda for
which there is an appropriation Of ST.
900 for each of the eight half-moon
shaped panels. If the friends Of Pro
fessor Cumming will be patient how
ever there is an abundance Of oppor-
tunity for him to show his ability and
secure the renown of doing some Of
the enduring work. The anxiety of the
friends is somewhat of an embarrass-
ment to the other two members OF the
capitol commission. 1t is said that
Professor Cumming was given his
choice Of becoming a member Of the
commission and not doing any of the
painting or Of not being on the COM
mission and having chance to do
some of the painting. While Professor
Cumming remains a member of the
commission 1t would be difficult to give
him some of the painting to do. There
is no question but that Professor Cum
ming is very able artist and could
do very creditable work. There is u
great deal of painting to be done about
the state house for which there is as
yet no appropriation. The fact that
Professor Cumming has been q men,
Der of the commission and thus was
familiar with the work and went over
the ground and ideas of the decorating
thoroughly before the contracts were
let will all be in his favor after his
term as q commissioner expires and
will be arguments in favor Of his be-
ing given commission to do some of
the painting.
