From Mains to California, from Can- ada to the Gulf, the Same Glad Story Comies. Wasmisaroy, D. C., Aug. 23.—The weather oureau of the Department of Agriculture ssues the followlug crop bulletia: Tbe week has been warmer than usual in all districts east of the Rocky mountains and on the Pacific coast, the greatest excess in tem- perature being roported from the central vai- leys, including the greater portion of the orn region, where the average for the week was from threo to six degrees above the nor- mal, About the same excess in temperature is reported from the northern portion of the cotton region, extending from South Carolina westward to northern Texas, Along the Atlantic and gulf coasts about the normal temperature prevailed, all stutions, however, reporting an excess of from one to two degrees per day. The temper- ature for the season, from January 10 to Au- gust 21, continues in excess over the nocth- ern states east of the M ippi and in Ken- tucky and Tennessec, but the excess gen- evally amounts to less thau one degree per day.

Ve heavy rains cccurred in the central M . sippt and lower Missouri valleys, where the total amount was from one to three inches above the normal. Light showers occurred throughout the southern st oxcept in portions of Mississippi and Louisiana, The recent rains and excess in temperature have doubtless proved beneficial to growing crops in the corn belt. There are indications that light frosts will occur in Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas tonight but ser- ious injury 1s not anticipated, as the wheat crop is practically secured and the frosts wiil be s0 light as not to prove injurious to corn.

Congressman Mason of I1linois, told a story the other day of 'a somewhat re- markable experience he had not long ago on a one-horse railway in the woest, “There was only one passenger car,” he said, “and it was full. So was the conductor. At all events I thought so from the way he addressed mo concern- ing o valise at my side. % “Take that thing into the baggage ho remarked very peremptorily. I looked at him semewhat surprised, and without muking any responso. ‘Do you hear what I say?’ he manded. “Yes, I do,” T answered. *“He went away to collect some tick- When he “came back about ten minutes later he looked angry.

More passen- gers got aboard, and when he came back several persons were stunding up in the aisle. I justsat still, wondering to have been called a dude for the first time in my life, ** ‘What!’ shouted the ticket puncher upon his return: ‘You won’t pay any utlenlmn to what I say, eh? Well, here goos!’ **With that he picked up the valise and threw it out of the car window. We were going at the raté of about fifteen miles an hour at the time. I said nothing, and a quarter of an hour later he came through dgain and spoke to me. Ividently he had been refiecting and possibly he had exceeded his nuv.hority. ‘I wouldn’t have done it,” he said, half apologetically, only you riled me, and discipline’s gof ter be maintained on board a train.’ 40, that’s all right,’ I replied, entire composure. “‘Well, what are you going to do about it?’ he asked. ** *About what?’ “Why, the bag.’ 40, niothing,’ I said. ‘“*‘But weren’t it3 contents valuable?’ “ Tdon’t know, I’m sure,’ [ responded. “*You don’t know?’ ¢*No,” [ said. ‘It wasn’t my valis ***My dear boy, you never saw a man 50 totally flabbergusted as that conduc- tor was in all your born days.

A certain well known German physi- cian of the South Side, says tho St. Louis Republic, was the victim of his own *‘previousnoss” the other day. He had successfully treated a wealthy lady’s daughter for diphtheria, and the lady was extremely grateful for it. When the child was thoroughly well mother and daughter appeared at the physician’s office. The little girl shyly handed the ian a neat little kuit purse, while lady went on tosay: “For having saved my child, doctor, Twant to present you with this purse.” *‘But,’, said the physician, after an embarrassing pause, *I have sent you a bill for $300.” The lady flushed, then said quiotly, “Let me have the purse, please.” She took two #100 bills out of it and veturned it to him with the remark: “Phore are 3300 in there now, so your bill is paid,” and left the room., Now the doctor is cursing his clumsy tongue for the bad break it made. That little spoech cost him just $200. * *" HEARSAY EVIDENCE.

A locomotive combining many new and important improvements has just been completed at the Alton shops, Bloomington, Ill. . The two ends to be achieved by these new improvements are, first, the saving of fuel by move perfect’ combustion; the doing away with the back pressure in the cylinders caused by the contraction of the exhaust tubes at the point of dis- charge into the smokestack, in order to blast for draft, and the abolition or partial abolition of the smoke nuisance; and, second, the com- plete lighting of the locomotive and its signal attachments by electricity, not only giving s much cleaver und brighter light than oil, but an iliumination that is perfectly controllable in all purts and in every way by the engineer and five- man, The stenm from the ¢, hausted into a pipe which, cylinder to the stack, has the uniform diameter of five and one-half inches, It is not contracted at the stack end us is the case in all locomotives in which the draft is caused by the blast from the ceylinder, By reason of the use of this uncontracted pipe there is saved in op- eration all the cylinder ‘back pressure,” which engineers cluim and records show is from six to fourteen pounds to the square inch. The draft is supplied by a fun or vlower,which ulso is instrumental in bringing about increased combustion, by which the inventor, Mr. Cavener of Chicago, believes he can suve some 20 per cent of fuel, and decrease the cost of combustion from 45 per cent, which is the nccepted average, to something like per cent. The smokestuck, which is shorter and of greator dinmeter than the ordi has wound about it two coils of two- steam pipe, euch fifty-two feet in length, cach coil hiving an injector operated by the steam boilel Into these coils tho water from the tankis forced, inste of directly into the boiler, and from these coils which aie highly heated by the discharge from the furnace and the steam from the cylinder, the water pass es, at about the boiling point, into the boiler, thus affecting a ing in fuel, representing the heat which would be necessary to raise cold water to 2122, and which neat in the ordinary locomo- linder is from the tive is utterly wasted. Surrounding the stack is a boiler iron casing of about twice the stack’s diame- ter, which is perforated in front with many holes, Through these holes and at the top of the casing or exterior stack is taken the air for the supply of the fur- nace, its reception being aided by the motion of the train. It comes at once in contact with the highly heated iute- rior k and its 104 feet of steam heat- ed pipe, and is also caught by the blast of a Buffalo press blower. A pipo connects the space between the stack and its casing with the ash pan and through this pipe the heated aiv is forced by the blowerin a steady and conducted flow to the five, furnishing an abundance of heated oxygen and a steady draft which takes the place of the alternating blasts of the cylinder « hausts. The suporheated air is deliv- ered at the ash pan ata pressure of six pounds to the square inch. The fan, or blower, which is instru- mental in this s woll as the en- gine which drives it, are contained in an extension of the boiler in front, which is about two feet long and, of course, of the boiler’s diameter. The engine, which is_entirely independent in its steam supply, is compound, with high and low pressure cylinder. It is of twenty-hovse powor, and not only drives the blower, but propels the dy- namo for lighting the locomotive. It oceupies fourteen inches floor space, and is thirty-two inches high. The little dynamo furnishing the lighting current fills the spuce usualiy occupied by the heaalight, while the huudlx;,hz of the nnpro\ud engine is iyluu)d in the center of the boiler head. t is lighted by a sixty-five candle power incandescent lamp, while the indicator giving the number of the train and the locomotive, and also the red signals when in use. are lighted by a sixteen candle power, and the interior cab lights and lights for illuminating the coal chutes and tanks are of ten candle power. All of these lights are con- trolled from the cab. The red signals are directly under the control of the en- gineer. The lights are so connected that it is **one out all out” so that it is impossible for a signul to be extin- guished without the whole locomotive being placed in darkness and the en- gineor boing at once apprised. All ligts, outside and in, aro provided with attichments for immediate use at un\' time when needed. The steam for tho supplomentary engine is suppied through one of the side hand rai which is protected by asbestos, and the electric connections between the cab and the dynamo are made through the other hand rail. — De Witt’s Little Barly isevs, bost pill. e Washington Post: Jay Gould late to chureh in Cheyeung und dropped t the plate.
