MODES OF TRAVEL.
From the haunting Car to the Modern
Electric Railway.

From the haunting Car to the Modern
Electric Railway.
The first jaunting car was establish
ed in Ireland in 1915 by a Milanese,
Carlo Bianconi. who settled in Dublin
and drove every day to Caher and
back, charging twopence a mile, From
this small beginning in 1887 he had
established sixty seven conveyances.
drawn by 900 horses.
The extension of modern manufac-
turing towns and cities demanded still
greater conveniences. which were sup
plied at first by the omnibus lines.
which up TO 1860 were the chief means
of urban and interurban transporta-
ton. To these succeeded the street
railroad, traversed by cars drawn by
one or more horses, and these in turn
became wholly inadequate to meet the
demand Of the suburban districts.
The cable car. drawn by underground
cable, was the next innovation. but
this about 1880 to 1890 was supplanted
by the electric trolley lines, and these
again were supplemented in many cit
les by elevated and subway lines in
which the cars were propelled by cleo
tricity supplied by third rail. This
latter device has already been applied
to extended lines Of railroads. and -
is not unlikely that the present cen
fury will witness the electrificaton OF
most of the railroad lines in thickly
settled countries. National Magazine

FREEZING WATER.
How the Growth of Ice Crystals May
Be Made Plainly Visible.

De "duo TIdlfIlJ NISiplC'
1t is not commonly known that fresh
water may sometimes be colder than
ice" and that the growth Of ice crys-
tails may be made plainly visible. An
interesting experiment to show this
may easily be made.
Fill a clean pint bottle with distilled
water. Make a hole in the stopper
large enough to let a thermometer
pass through it. The kind Of Their
mometer used in physical laboratories
is most convenient. Insert the stopper
In the bottle and let the thermometer
reach nearly to the bottom. Pack
snow or ice and salt round the bottle
as you would pack an ice cream
freezer If the bottle is not Jared
the temperature may be seen to drop
several degrees below the freezing
point without freezing the water
If the stopper and thermometer are
now removed and small piece Of ice
free from any trace of salt is inserted
in the bottle and pushed down into
the water. crystals of ice may be seen
to shoot out in all directions from it.
After this experiment has been made
1t will be Interesting to observe the
much slower growth of ice crystals in
the quiet pools of clear water that you
sometimes see in spring and fall, and
you will have some understanding Of
the network Of ice Orders which is
beneath the ice coating of small ponds.

ROUTED THE ROGUE"
A Bad Elephant. a Lighted Lamp and q
Lucky Blow.


An odd experience Tell to the lot OF
three men who wsr" on Il tiger hunt
ing expedition In India.
To prevent the invasion of mOsqui-
toes and other insects that would be
attracted by the light in their quar-
tiers the heavy cotton curtain which
formed the door of the tent was closed.
and the three friends were chatting
across the table when suddenly the
whole tent shook. and as they looked
round to see the cause the heavy cur
tain was roughly snatched away, and
In the open doorway appeared tue
head of big elephant
The men had no time to catch up
their rifles. They knew by the ap-
pearance of the animal that he meant
mischief Lifting up the roof Of the
tent with his head he threateningly
swung out his trunk at the man near
est him.
At this the hunter sprang to his feet
and. Selling the lighted lamp from the
table. hurled it with all his strength
against the animals forehead. The
glass broke at the blow. and the blaz-
ing oil covered the animals trunk with
a sheet of fame.
With a cry OF terror the beast drew
frantically back, shook off the curtain
and fed across the country, vanquish-
ed by n single blow from an oil lamp.
1t was a fortunate act. for the animal
was no doubt a rogue" and would
probably have killed one or more OF
the men.-Exchange.

PERPETUAL MOTION IDEAS.
Efforts OF Inventors Who Strain After
the Unattainable.

Perpetual motion. like the philOso-
pliers stone. * enc ~ those things reg
ularly sought after. Years ago IL was
proved that tue idea was absurd. yet
Ouly a week or so ago another inventor
t7Ime forward with a new perpetual
motion notion.
Some OF these perpetual motion ma
chimes are certainly extremely ingen-
iOus. One man thought he had discOv
cred way TO run omnibuses by them
selves. lie had cylinders Of water
placed just above the axles. and on
these cylinders was supported the
whole weight Of the bus and passen-
gers. Pipes led from this water to
the back of the bus. curved round and
ended In the back board of the bus.
The more passengers there were the
greater the pressure on the cylinders
OF water and the faster the flow OF
the water to the back OF the bus. The
faster. too. will the bus rush forward.
At least. so said the inventor. who &C.
tually took out n patent for his idea.
Needless To say, no such buses are
running.
Another ingenious idea was wheel
with narrow shelves instead of spOkes.
ON each shelf was lead ball. and the
inventor claimed that once the wheel
was started the balls on the falling
side kept running toward the circum
ference and so outweighed those on
the risin" side. which ran toward the
center. Once started the wheel should
keep on forever. Unfortunately IL al
ways stopped after few turns
