The lecture in Carnegie hall Mouda

was a good presentation OF the pro
side OF the liquor question.
lie opened the discussion by pre-.
senting the business side OF TN liquor
traffic and stated that II was not real
business but counterfeit and poisoned
industry.
lie then portrayed the various call.

saloonkeeper. The two former as all

ers asked Mr. Stewart In debate why
he did not turn his attention TO un-
sanitary barbershops and such like.
the answer was that one shave does
not call for another Immediately, and
n woman was not uneasy about a man

Anybody Is proud OF an honest prod.
uct that takes the premium "a; ;;,s fair.
and likes 10 exhibit II as much as pos.
able. but the saloons are ashamed OF
their products and do not tag beer
bioat for exhibition. therefore the
state OF Texas should do away with
that which places men In posi-.
tion where even the liquor dealers are
ashamed Of them.
The sober man Is the producer and
the necessary man In business. the
drunkard Is the burden to himself and
others.
We must organize the men and
women Of Texas who are opposed TO
the liquor traffic. This In the broad
and general way. Then the first step

Mr.. Stewart stated that when be
was nominated for the Legislature In
Illinois on tho prohibition ticket his
friends were sorry for him. There
were 1900 saloons In Chicago and
23.soo registered voters In his precinct
and he electioneered In front OF the
aaioons on the streets stating bow he
stood on the liquor question and was
elected with 500 majority.
The vast amount OF money posses
sed by the liquor dealers does not
menace prohibition.
The home ties OF wife and children
and their interest Is the great force
that goes counter TO the saloon. He
stated that he was friend TO the
drunkard and saloonkeeper and only
wished TO shield them from that which
destroyed.

Electric Railways in Germany.


American Consul General Richard Guen-
Their writes as follows about the electric
tramways of Frankfort:
The Frankfort electric tramway lines
at the close of the fiscal year Q907) had
a length of thirty-eight English miles
and carried during that year "A, go. eco
passengers. There are 612 cars for the
passenger service and the total number
of empolyes is 2,124. AS most of these
are married, the Frankfort tramway SER
vice furnishes means of living for about
10000 people.
On an average the electric cars run
over $4,000 English miles per day. Dur
ing the great international Turzier festi-
val last July the number of miles run
on some days exceeded so, 900. Though
the fares are lower than in American
cities (ordinary fare is 10 pfennigs, not
quite IA cents) yet the net profit derived
from the service turned into the munich
pal treasury was 1915, 900 marks S3l2.-
91O). The profit realized during the year
by the city from it's electric lighting and
testing plant aggregated $500. 200.
The stride tramway travel has taken
in Frankfort, in the last decade can be
discerned when comparing the above sta
tlstlcs with those of 1897, when the city
bought out the then existing horse-car
lines which belonged to a Belgian Joint
stock company. Then the total length of
line was 1914 miles, number of cars. 1877,
which carried during said year. 26.5OO-
900 passengers and covered a running dis
lance of $685., 900 English miles

signature. All that is necessary Is to write
the telegram on metallic paper with a spe-
cial ink, this paper being placed upon a
cylinder upon which as It turns a needle
writes.
The correspondent, who may be hundreds
Of miles away, possesses an Identical tel
autographone, the cylinder of which is COW
cred with a chemically-prepared paper,
provided also with a needle. The electric
current works the two needles.
The point of the transmitter remains in
ert as long as IT passes over the bare
metal, but directly it touches the mixed
part, 1t presses on It and communicates
the pressure to the other end Of the wire,
where the reproducing needle places itself
at the same time on the white paper of
the receiving cylinder, so that the writing
by a succession OF down strokes juxtaposed
one after the other, ends by being faith
fully reproduced. For instance, in the
transmission of a capital ~" you will see
first The heads OF the two down strokes,
then the latter contract to meet at the tip
which forms the base. In the same way Il
will be possible to transmit a music score.
a pen and ink drawing, etc. During these
transmission it will be possible for the
ransmitters and receivers TO telephone.
A noticeable feature OF the invention Is
that it is possible to insure the strict Sc
crecy Of the. communication which Il IL
desired to make. 1t is sufficient TO set the
cylinder at a number Of turns agreed on
beforehand, and only those who have their
apparatus set accordingly win receive the
message.

the world has even seen, and of which the
News recently gave account, he named the
advent of the electric locomotive, and pre-
dicted tha on our main trunk lines It
would replace steam locomotives. The
change, ne thought, might be looked for
within fifteen or twenty years, dependent
on the financial condition of the country.
II Is a credible prediction, for roads are
already looking in that direction. and
Il is probably even now more a question
of finance, Of working from one system to
the other economically, than anything else.
The New York Central road has had cleo
trio locomotives on its Harlem division,
from the city of Mount Vernon. for two
years. and now contemplates the extension
of the service thence to White Plains. In
these two years only one serious accident
says, and this was by no means clearly
attributable TO the new methods.
The Tribune goes on to speak OF what
all know-the advantages Of fhe change to
passengers and to people that live on the
line of the road-the ending OF smoke,
steam and cinders. and the advantage to
the road, as we'll as Of the a~cceleration Of
movement after a stop. which is Of par
ticular value in a suburban service. But
for the financial ~stringency Of recent times
the road had long ago undertaken the ex-
tension. The Tribune says that the trial OF
a direct current and a third rail. which
have been characteristic features OF the
Central's method. has evidently satisfied
the company that 1t has made no mistake
here. and that besides the economy OF the
substitution Of electricity, the plan has OBJ

cheering feat accomplished by the Grand

Aluminium Tests.

Tests carried out by the British Ma
tional Physical Laboratory determine the
maximum load of aluminium wire as Isl
tens per square inch (242kg. per 50. mm.),
end the yield load was 49, tons per square
inch (2o.6kg. per so. NM, whereas an
aluminium overhead line is usually pro-
portioned for a load of only 5kg. per 50.
nm. 1t Is almost the invariable practice
TO employ a stranded conductor for over
head transmission lines of any Importance,
no matter whether OF aluminium or copper.

ductivity Is composed of some 60 per cent
Hore strands than the equivalent copper
conductor, and actually offers less increase

"One is a chump to try to combat dearly

views, and certainly not the truth. The
truth in a matter of this kind is not thrill
ing enough to satisfy. They want to be-

nave not been despised by them and more

instead with long silk down. The African
geese have proved a magnet and so also

smoked ball ducks, a new variety origi-

The Toulouse geese have been popular
