A WORLDS OPINION Of FRANKLIN

Franklin is the worlds best type OF
good sense Prof. Fisher.
Antiquity would have raised affairs to
his mighty genius.-AIirabeau-
He invented the lightning rod, the
hoax, and the republic.-H. de Balzac.
That crafty American is more than a
match for all my ministers.-George III.
Where is the master who could have
instructed Franklin? Every great man
is unique.-EmersOn
He snatched the thunderbOlt from
heaven and the sceptre from the hands
of the tyrants.-Tursot.
This self-taught American is the most
rational OF all philosophers. He never
loses sight of common sense.-LOrd
Jeffrey.

singular felicity of induction guided

he established very great truths The
style and matter of his publications are
almC st as worthy OF admiration as the
doctrines they contain. He has written
equally for the uninitiated and the phil
Csophers.-Davy.
1t is quite certain that Franklin had
genius for putting things which made
him almost independent of schools. =

LARGEST ELECTRIC ROAD.
A Contract Closed for a Line from
Spokane to Moscow, Wash.

A Contract Closed for a Line from
Spokane to Moscow, Wash.
A contract has just been closed for
the construction and equipment Of the
Spokane & Inland Railway, extending
from Spokane to Moscow, Wash, a
distance Of 146 miles.
The organization Is controlled by a
number Of Spokane capitalists. Of
whom J. =. Graves is the president,
says the New York Times. The sys-
tenn for electrifying the line is West
irghOuse single phase alternating cur
rent system, the same as the New
York, New Haven 4 Hartford Rail-
road Is going to adopt as part Of its
system, and for which purpose it re-
Gently contracted with the Westing-
house Company for twenty loco
motives.
Power for operating the road will
be obtained from the Washington
Water Power Company. which has
harnessed the waters of the Spokane
River, and the electric current will
be transmitted at pressure OF 1900
volts to the power station Of the rail-
road company. From this station cleo
trio current will be transmitted along
the line Of the track ut the enormous
pressure Of $4,000 volts to fifteen trans
former substations located along the
line. In these stations the current will
be reduced for the operation Of the
motors Oh the cars.
The road will be equipped for pas.
senger, freight, mail and express serv.
ice. Each passenger car will be pro
vided with four horsepower mo.
tors, capable of maintaining sche.
dule speed Of thirtyfive to forty miles
an hour In the freight service four
$50 horse power motors will be used
on each car.
For the heavy freight service double
locomotives, weighing approximately
seventy to eighty tons, will be used
each consisting Of two parts and each
part complete thirty-fiv to forty ton
locomotive. Two or more Of these loco
motives may be coupled together and
operated from the front cab as single
unit.
The motor cars and locomotives will
all be operated by the Westinghouse
multiple unit control system. The
electrical apparatus for the equipment
Of the road approximates almost ST.,
100000.
When placed in operation the road
will constitute the longest electric rail
way in this country.

Monitor with Gun.

One Of our public school teachers
,relates a very amusing incident that
occurred recently In one Of our we'll
known schools in the center Of the
city. 1t seems that for several days
the pupils had been unusually prompt
lin returning after recess. No boy was
late or tardy, and, in fact, the boys
were as good as though Christmas
were only a few days of. The princi-
pal was congratulating herself upon
having the best school in the city,
when one day the mother of one Of
the scholars complained to the prlnc-
pal that the monitor Of the class was
lterroriZing the pupils with a pistol
and frightening them nearly to death.
The principal thereupon investigated
the matter and found that the mont
tor had gained possession Of his IA
TIERS revolver. and, in true Western
style, held up the boys and COM
PEELED them to fall in line and do as
The commanded. While he did it with
good intent and with sincere desire
ito help his teacher, yet she was sor-
rowfnlly compelled to censure the boy
and discipline him for his conduct
