Three Days to LiyerpOOl.

Mr.. Herbert E. Ryder, who devised
the system of underground trolleys in
use in New York, and who is an in
ventor of many useful appliances. is
now dreaming of excursions to Lon
don and return in a few days through
the use of his own motor, which he
believes will drive steamer $50 miles
an hour.
His motor is q pipe which runs
through the hold of the vessel below
the water line.
The pipe is open at both ends. At
tached to the pipe one-third from the
other end is a cylinder which is just
the diameter of the pipe, and I'm length
three times the diameter Of the pipe.
At the bottom of this cylinder is a
pipe that attaches it to the main pipe
curves aft. The rest Of the motor is
simply the application of a gas en-
CINE.
The cylinder when working is
charged with gas which has been va
porized from kerosene oil. The cleo
trio spark explodes this gas and forces
1t out through the pipe at the stern
of the boat. This gives the boat q
kick which drives 1t ahead, and at the
same time the gas driving through the
pipe in the stern of the vessel creates
a vacuum I'm the forward end. into
which the water rushes. And the in
ventor says 1t is drawing the boat
ahead while it Is being driven ahead
from the kick in the stern.

Her Provision for Her Young . Wen
derful Instance Of Natures PrOvi-
0ence.
(March Century,


The manner in which the mother
antelope protects her young until they
are old and strong enough to join the
fuli-grown bands in their wanderings
Is an interesting and wonderful in
stance of Natures providence. These
beautiful creatures live in an open
country infested by all kinds Of ene-
mics. and especially prowled over by
the coyote, the gray wolf and the TIM
Der wolf. which subsist upon the young
OF all kinds Of animals; yet the mother
can easily protect her babies from the
fiercest OF these marauders. The enc
my most dreaded Is the soaring eagle.
There is a. variety Of cactus, a prickiy
plant which grows in great abundance
all over the Western plains, which fur
nishes her the means for this protec-
ton. Horses, cattle. buffalo and, in
fact, all animals know the. danger OF
treading on this plant. 1t grows in
large patches, some four or six inches
in height above the ground, and forms
a thick mat varying in breadth from
the size of the top of mans hat to
many feet. It is in the center of one
of these patches that the female ante
lope prepares a place Of safety for
while very poisonous and terribly pain
full to every other animal. for some
reason are almost harmless to the an
telope. The cactus may lacerate her
legs. making them bleed freely. but
neither the stickers nor their poison
remain; while other animals seldom
bleed, but retain the poisonous stick
ers in their wounds until they become
malignant sores, causing excessive
swelling of the limbs and very great
and long continued suffering.
When the antelope has selected her
patch of cactus, backing away few
feet. she will make running jump,
bounding high in the air and alighting
in the middle of the patch. with all
four feet close together, the hoofs
pointing downward. Then, springing
out again and repeating this operation
until she has chopped the roots Of the
cactus plant to pieces, she loosens and
clears a space large enough for stand
ing room. She then will enlarge 1t by
paving and digging with her sharp
hoofs. Here she gives birth to her
young in undisturbed security. know
ing that she can leave them in COM
parative safety during the day and re-
turn to them at night to give them
suck. Should 1t be in q locality where
eagles abound. however. the mother
does not venture far away, as the
soaring eagle often swoops down on
the young. taking them away II she is
not there to do battle for their lives.

wood
The wood of our fruit trees Is by no
means OF "a little value rs supposed by
many farmers. Trees are occasionally
rejected from every orchard. on ac-
count Of age, disease or unfruitfulneSs,
and attention should be called to the
uses to which the wood may be put.
1t Is universally known that walnut
finds extensive use In fine cabinet work,
and commands good price. It Is used
in large quantities for making gun
stocks.
Cherry wood Is also used in furniture,
and gives limitations OF mahogany, TAX
ing beautiful color when polished.
Apple-tree wood is remarkably we'll
adapted to turner's work and Is In de-
mand for making cog-wheels, ON ac-
count of its great strength and dura-
bility. The cogs Of wooden mill-wheels
arc often made Of apple wood. 1t Is
also extensively used for fruit presses,
where It proves very durable.
Plum-tree wood is valuable for max
ing spigots. wooden molds and the
handles of kitchen knives.
Ounce and peach tree woods are
highly valued for fine furniture and
technical implements. The dark color
and beautiful grain OF peach wood
make it much sought after.
Pear-tree wood is utilized especially
for making rulers and the shafts of
looms. as 1t does not warp or bend when
exposed to the air. OF late it has been
used In the place Of beech wood for
cuts, confectioners molds, etc. 1t
makes excellent limitations Of ebony.
It can be seen from the foregoing
that the different kinds of fruit trees.
when not dead or too dry can be put
to much better use than for firewood,
for which they are altogether too val
liable

According to the researches of Fisch-
er, the latent calorif1c energy stored in

A notable part Of this energy is used
within the body for determining animal
activity, respiration,. digestion. elimf-
nation. etc. The excess may be ex-
pended in mechanical work. A day Of
eight hours and average Of continuous
work is equivalent to a work Of $4,000
kiiogram-meters, or 500 Galleries. or =
little less than one-hah horsepower.
Under these conditions the cost price
of 100-horsepower may be thus calcu-
lated: Man. ESQ workmen at three
frances per day, $50 francs: horsepow-
er. 10-horsepower, all expenses includ-
ed, 50 francs; engine, steam. six francs;

Botanical Gardener w. h. Smith Makes
Notable Present to the Parks and
Gardess.
Mr.. w. II. Smith, the Superintendent
OF the magnificent Botanical Gardens
on Pennsylvania Avenue, at the foot of
Capitol Hill, Washington, ID. c., is one
of the famous botanists Of the world,
and recognized everywhere as high au-
thority. Though a Scotchman by birth.
he Is an enthusiastic American, and In
nothing so happy as in bringing to the
attention of every one the beauties and
worth of our native trees and flowers.
Last year he sent to the Corporation
of Glasgow and to the Botanical Gar
dens i'm Berlin a large number of
American oaks, naples and other trees.
which he was sure would be desirable
ornaments, but which they have been
unable to grow because the seeds sent
across the ocean would not germinate.
For this he has received vote OF
thanks from the Corporation of Glas
gov. and suitable acknowledgment
from Berlin. With reference to this
he says:
'"The inclosed is from the CORPORA
