Cure for Cucumbers.

In the evening peel, wash and cut
them in round, thin slices with a
green onion cut to pieces. If very
large split them in two before slicing
them. Make strong brine with salt
and small quantity of water; pour it
all over; let it stand in a cool place
until next morning. Draw the water
out, season with pepper, vinegar and
oil. If you care for pronounced
taste of oil put it in first; if you
fancy vinegar taste put the vinegar In
first. Seasoned this way they will
aever hurt anyone.

Of weight on the two trucks call for heavy
construction In the trucks themselves.
1t has been proposed that a great saw
ing in weight would be effected by re-
ducing the length OF the cars and substi-
tuting lighter four-wheeled trucks for the
ponderous s~ix-wheeled trucks now in use.
The roof construction could be considerably
iightened by aboiishing the end platform
and substituting entrances at the center OF
the cars and vestibuling the car bodies d.
rectly against one another.
But the greatest reduction in weight, It
is thought. would come from the substitu-
ton Of steel for wood and the application
to the design OF the cars OF those prinei-
Piles Of steel construction which have rem
dered the modern steel bridge such a
marvel Of lightness in proportion to its
strength and the load It can carry. The
weight OF the present railroad cars is the
result OF too much coach builders art aDd
too little OF the bridge engineers.'-st Louis

Il am convinced" said Mr.. Nixon to an
American reporter, that the thing could
be done now, but the mechanism is so
crude that the thunderbolt, or e~letcric
impulse, would kill, the man who should
release 1t, as we'll as the enemy. 1t is
possible. of course, that some foreign
nation already has perfected the neces-
sary machine with which to hurl this
deadly bolt. I hope. however. that II has
not been done. When the principle is
mastered the result will make war so hor-
ribly destructive that the human race,
through the sheer force OF natures first
law-self-preservation-will abolish war.
The aeroplane is mainly interesting now
on account Of the fact OF what may grow
from 1t. Possibly we shall see them like
swarms OF giant loeusts flying over an,

off communications

Of great use. The helicopter. owing to its
smaller dimensions. seems best adapted to

WHATS THE USE OF WARSHIPS
How Electric Shocks Could send
Send Whole fleets to the
Bottom.

Lewis Nixon of New York, ~shiphuilder,
graduate Of the United States Naval
academy. and for several years one OF
the chief constructors of the American
navy. nouts the theory that the airship
in any Of its forms will become a for
midable war machine.
Instead, Mr.. Nixon believes hat the
d~eath-dealing terror OF the war Of the
future will be the electric shock.
This conclusion has been forced upon
his judgment by a careful study OF the
subject of new war agencies and by
closely watching the msneuvers of the
Wright aeroplane as IL sailed up the
Hudson recently and circled the repre-
sentatives of the worlds greatest navies.
In Mr.. Nixon'R opinion. warships can
guard against the danger OF explosives
that might be dropped upon them by
airships by specially prepared armor. He
believes, though, that sooner or later
there will be perfected a gun or some
other piece Of m~echanicism for hurting a
thunderbolt that will shock TO death

The most extravaganza and costly method
OF transportation In the world Is the sleep
Ing car train, which carries two tons of
dead weight for every passenger moved.
The great weight Of passenger cars is due
in no small measure to the great length
TO which these cars have grown in recent
years. The body OF a modern sleeper"
over seventy feet in length, supported on a
truck at each end, may be regarded struc-
turally as a bridge carried on two end
piers. And in the case OF the car, as OF the
bridge, the bending stresses tend to break
