The Philadel: ompleted a lo- iples, comotive constructeds on novel pr now making regular trips, which, it i$ clamed, has gone a mile ih forty-one sec- onds. The unique feature of this locomotive is that whereas the usual express locomo- tive has two driving wheels on each side, this has only one, a monster, seven fee and three-quarters’ of an inch 'in diameter. In a single revolution it carries a train twenty-two fect along the ralls. At top speed this great driving wheel gocs around SiX times in a second.

B. Paxson, superintendent « locomotis of motive power of the Reading rc has long had an idea that a _“single engine could be constructed to do faster work with express trains than the engines of the ordinary type. Some time ago he took the side rods oif an engine having two drivers on each side, and put weights near the pins on the idle drivers to offset the counterbalance weights which are on all driving wheels. This engine was not in first-class condition, but It did nearly as well as a coupled engine, and remained on a scl (I run for six months, demonstrat- ing that a “single” locomotive, specially de- signed, would be sure to do the work satis- factorily.

This is a recent innovation in locomotive engineering, The engineer in charge of this monster locomotive suys no attempt has been made to force it to the utmost speed. The day after it left the shops it hauled a spec train from Philadelphia to Bound Brook and return, miles, making many miles in le: than forty-five seconds each. e conditions for speeding over long dis- ave not as good on the Philadelphia & Reading as on the New York Central, but the officials think that their new loco’ motive can easily K the record when called upon. It is understood that an attempt will shortly be made by the Philedelphia & Reading officlals 1o glve thelr new engine a trial against the New York Central record, but the date Is being kept secret. The officials of the Pennsylvania rallroad are preparing to have a trial against time with one of their new express engines built at the Juniata shops. These engines have two driving wheels on each side and only a single cylinder. The drivers are four and a third incheg less in diameter than that of the Philadelphia & Reading. Subject to Attacks of Cholera Morbus, While staying in the Delta (Mississippi Bottoms) last summer, E. T. Moss, repre- senting Ludlow, Saylor Wire Co. of St. Louis, suffered from malaria and became subject to attacks of cholera morbus. In every in- stance when attacked he was relieved as if by megic, by using Chamberlain's Collc, Cholera and Diarrkoea Remedy.

Romance of the Rebelll Py by the Merest In 1863 there were llving not far from New Orleans a wealthy southern family, relates the Philadelphia Times. The only male representative was away to the war, #0 the mother and daughter were at home under the protection of Aunt Dinah, thelr most trusted old slave, whom the girl rarely allowed out of sixkht, so fond was she of Il mammy.” One morning she followed Avnt Dinah to the barn to get extra hay to freshen up some hen nests. The preced- Ing day had been an exciting one, for the blue and gray had experienced a skirmish near b , and no one knew whether it was safe or not to even look out the door, So Aunt Dinah went 1o the barn to protect her “young miss” and she to protect “old mammy." Each clutched the other's hand, and watched in different directions, both trembling lest they should see a Yankee, Aunt Dinah rofled her eyves, compressed her well-proportioned “lipa and declared: “Honey, if one of dem nkee mens shows heee't 1T will des die dade same es if T was KiL" And the little maid trembled and sald In'a whisper: “Sh—mammy, or 1 shall die be 1 see one." ‘he two hurried, but on tiptoe, in the bar snatehed an armful of hay and skipped out. But before they had gone ten steps they heard a groan.

The drill of the Sauta Barbara Ice coms pany, which Is boring a well in the lower part of town, says the San Francisco Call, has passed through a charred log some two feet in diameter at a depth of 340 feet. A careful examination of specimens obtained in- dicates that the long burled tree is an oak similar to the specles growing above ground today. Much speculation is rife as to how this tres came so far beneath the surface of the soil, but an Intelligent serutiny of the Santa Clara valley gives a clear geological explanation of certain conditions attending this discovery. Each end of the valley at Santa BDarbara on the one hand and at Goleta on the other has at_some time past been an fnlet of the sea. The lower lands recelved the wash from a great extent of mountainous country. The detritus from the hills, constantly carried down by winter floods and deposited below, at length filled up these inlets and gradually advanced the shore line, as It Is doing today wherever the wash from the hills follows its own course, while constantly burying from sight the vegetation of a past day. This charred log once lay at the bottom of the gea. It was found in a stratum of blue water sand, and determines the great depth of what was once a fine harbor, extending probably a mile or more back of the present beach. This theory Is confirmed by the fact that both at Goleta anc Santa Barbara the soil is to an extraordinary depth nothing but blacl loam, occasional streaks of clay and sand having been encountered. Similar trees, as well as beds of sea shells, haye been en- covntered in well-boring at great depths in Goleta. OId Indian traditions tell of a monster disturbance In the past. Some great convulsion of nature must have sunk the entire valley, for this tree lles 300 feet below the sea level The one new fact established by thls find is that the aborigines of a very remote date made fires.
