OIL FOR RAILWAY POWER.

The possibility of superseding steam power oJ petrol, or combination of petrol and electricity, upon branch railway lines and local services is a question receiving the immediate at tention of the Great Western Railway company. Experiments were begun recently upon a portion of this com pany's system, which, if successful, may revolutionize railway transit. The use of petrol engines and the more re- cent combination of petrol and cleo tricity have been practically confined in this country to road haulage and river pleasure craft Their application to railway systems, as was shown in d recent exclusive article in the Stan dard, has been left to Continental and Colonial cOleries and private yards. The success of these minor installa- tions has led to the belief that the pe- trOl-elecuic engine has great possibiIi- ties for hallway work.
 The Ireat Western Railway Com pany has decided that the question is of too great importance to remain un- solved. If the petrOl-electric engine is more economical than the steam engine upon steep gradients and in services where the passenger traffic is light then they as the largest users of rail motor cars in the United Kingdom, , stand to benefit They have accord 1 ingly installed upon the Windsor branch for temporary service between : Slough and Windsor an experimental coach, the first of it's kind to be used in this country, which is entirely inde- pendent of steam power and external 1 auXliarias, such as a third rail and overhead wires.
 The car, which is now in regular service, was designed and constructed by the British Thomson Houston com pany It is fitted with a orty-horse- power Maudslay petrol engine. which transmits it's power through an elec- tric motor of similar capacity. Accom- modation is provided for fOrty-six pas sengers and maximum speed of near ly thirty-five miles per hour. with an average of twenty miles per hour, can
 be obtained with ease. The petrol electric combination insures absolute smOOthness of running and minimum strain upon the gearing when starting and stopping. In order to meet the board of trade requirements with re gard to brake power the car is pro- vided with a powerful screwha and
 brake and a vacuum brake.
 i The Great Western Railway company have instituted an entirely new depar- ture in the railway world, and if the { data of the present experiments show an advantage for the new power inn . portant developments may be antici- pated not only on their own system but on others in this cOuntry.-Londor Standard

HAST BIG BLUFF"
Taft Peoples Designation of the Com =
 ing of Roosevelt.

CHICAGO. June 15.-The Taft peo- pie welcomed the coming of Roosevelt with a statement on the part of Campaign Director Mckinley who de- ciared that the colOners pilgrimage to Chicago represented the last big bluff of a defeated candidate.
 To question whether Colonel Roosevelt had helped his cause by coming to Chicago there were many answers The Taft leaders profess to believe that he has come too soon and that in the two days which re- main before the convention begins the situation will relax into one of plain politics in which party discipline and ineXorable mathematics will resume their accustomed sway.
 One of the Taft delegates says a delegation is a delegation and it is the delegates that carry conventions and make nominations. There was no talk today of a compromise can didate though the Cummins people kept up their quiet propaganda and the LaFollette contingent kept low. There is little talk of a Roosevelt bolt

 "The petition against Canadian reel procity, signed by thirtyOne thou sand farmers of Minnesota" came the reply. That must be it." he continued. pointing at an apple bar rel
 "Why. that's a barrel of apples one of the senator's friends sent him." the clerk said
 Apples nothing" SteenersOn said. That barrel is full of signatures att tached to a petition. I'm going to tap it right here," he said, and pro- ceeded to kick the head of the apple barrel in.
 Steenerson was right. It was not apples, but petitions An ardent ad- mirer of Senator Clapp had collected and sent them to him several weeks previously. The senator was notified that the petition was on it's way to Washington, but he failed to connect it up with the apple barrel.

TOWNS DISAPPEAR FROM MAP.

ReViving memories of days and events that Kansas would gladly for get, comes the report of the Secre- tary of the Kansas Historical society that no less than 2400 towns. which had existence some time within the past fifty years, have completely vanished from the map of the state
 Of the 2400 lost towns some un- dOubtely were founded in good faith, but meeting with sequence of mis- fortune were compelled to give up the struggle for existence. Torna- does, drought, plaques of grasshop- pers and similar forms of in-luck have accounted for their disappear ance. But the large majority of the lost towns never had the faintest prospect of permanency. Most of them were speculative towns. the quick, crumbling monuments of the greed of land boomers, from whose operations Kansas in it's day suf- fered more than most states
 The Kansas land boomer built towns overnight and then, also over night, he left them to their fate They were largely built upon paper but had just enough actual existence to attract the unwary investor and the unfortunate settler, who generally ar rived on the scene in time to wit ness the bursting of the bubble
 If the history of the lost towns is ever written it will probably be dis covered that the greater number of them were founded in deceit and avarice and never had the slightest chance of becoming real. Kansas, as a state, has no reason to regret that they have gone, but a great many individuals, poorer in pocketboOk, have the best of reasons for regret ting that they ever came at all.- Cincinnati Times Star

the gown Is a c Il a r m i Il g attractive a Il d dainty one, yet it involves no possible difficulty and could be easily made by the amateur needle woman. All the trimming is ar ranged on indicated lines and the panel effect Is exceedingly smart. The sleeves and blouse are cut in one but the front and back portions are separate and scanned over the shoulders and the skirt Is made in five gores. It Is just wide enough for the thin sum mer materials. 1nc tuCks give a smooth effect over the hips while they release fUllness to form graceful folds. The design Is good for all thin summer materials. All white is always daiutv and lovely but white with a touch of color Is being much worn this season and Am erican Beauty red and bright green are favorites. A girdle of one or the other of these, ad- justed over a plain belt, in place of the one of lace, would give a smart touch. Dotted muslin all ways makes pretty gowns of this kind and some of the little sprigged mus lins are charming with trimming of lace or embroidery, or in place of the wide bands on the skirt, narrow ones could be used with bands of tucking between, or narrow bands arranged in rows. Heavy laces are being much used on thin ma terlals, too, and voile with bands of cluny would be handsome.
 For the medium size, the gown will require 8 yards of material 27, 5$4 yards 36 or 5I yards A inches wide with I2 yards of narrow and 55>s yards of wide band ing.
