SCIENCE NOTES.
| believe most earthquakes to be the same
as cloudquakes. That is by the passage of
electricity from one planet to another, the
same as the passing of electricity from one
cloud to another causes thunder and lightning.
A less number are caused by volcanic erup-
tions, the latter being caused by the burning
of coal, coal oil and other inflammable sub
stances aided by steam. The interior of the
earth is not hot and never was. All evidences
of internal heat come from burning or extinct
volcanoes and they are surface eruptons and
do not come from the interior of the earth.

Adventists Coming.

Rockville, MD., April 2O.-About 80 OF
the Seventh Day Adventists who have located
at Takoma Park, Montgomery county, APP
peared on Tuesday before the Clerk of the
Circuit Court at this place and made affidavit
of their intention of becoming citizens of the
county. thereby fulfilling requirement of the
law preliminary to their being allowed to vote.
II is understood that about Is more will take
similar action this year, and that next year a
total of about 300 will have become citizens
of the county. They come from the Western
and Northwestern States.
The location of these people here is causing
the politicians to take notice, as it is recog-
nized that they may have considerable bear
ing on the political complexion of the county.
1t is stated that these persons are almost solid
ly Republican, and if this is true 1t will make
Montgomery county a doubtful quantity polit
ically for a while, and eventually make II
strongly Republican.
A member of the faith stated that those now
in the county are merely the advance guard,
and that the next few years will see a great
colony in the Takoma neighborhOod.

OUR RAILWAYS.
America Leads the World In Num-
bers and Efficiency.

America Leads the World In NUM-
bers and Efficiency.
That America leads the world in the
number and efficiency of it's railroads
Is, of course, common knowledge
At the close of the last ca~-'7"y
North America had no less tia V
$50 miles of track in operation, la
the total for Europe, Asia. Africa. AUS
tralia and South Amerca was only a
trife greater, about 210.000 miles. The
United States then had a mile Of road
for every 1888 inha bitants. Europe one
for every 2,26T and British India ono
for every 1900. This country invent
ed the parlor, sleeping and dining cars,
the pressed steel freight car, many Of
the best features Of the modern loco
motive, the air brake, the automatic
coupler and a host of related devices,
and it runs the fastest long distance
trains.
One of the most marvellous develop
ments in the whole railroad system is
that which has taken place at the head
of train in the last seventy years.
The best locomotives today are about
four times as long as the De Witt Clin-
ton Q83D, a foot or two higher, have
drivers that are seventy-two or even
eighty inches in diameter instead Of
only tifty-four and carry 200 pounds of
steam instead of only eighty. But
these figures afford no idea of the real
gain that has been effected in power.
Relative to the other features, the boil
er has grown abnormally, while the
smokestack has actually diminished in
size. In the De Witt Clinton the smoke
pipe was as big as the boiler. One does
not realize what modern science has
done for this type of engine until he is
told that it has a pull of from sixteen
to thirty tons as against 919 pounds.
A locomotive built not long ago for
the Santa Fe road weighed 1881 tons.
Trevethick's engine, built just a cen
fury ago, weighed FIVE. Stephenson's
Rocket $500 was several hundred
pounds lighter. Even between 1850
| and 1860 the average weight Of a pas
senger locomotive was twenty tons
| and Of freight engine thirty. At the
close of the fiscal year there were in
operation in the United States 195,SS7
| miles of track, or within 25,o00 miles
| Of the total for North America.-New
York Herald.
