In England the self-propelled railway ear is coming into extensive use, especially for branch lines -where the traffic is so small as not to warrant the 1 operation of steam locomotives or the application of electricity. Recently one 3f the largest electrical manufacturing firms in America has ordered in England an oil engine for this purpose, which will be used with a dynamo to generate current for ordinary car motors. The advantage of such an installation is that there is no loss of fuel when the car is not in motion, and that Lhe motor can be put into operation at an instant's notice. The machinery is placed in a small compartment at the end of the car, and requires but little attention. Such cars driven by various forms of motors, have been found of especial value in England to bring passengers to main electric and steam lines, and it would seem as if there was an equal field of usefulness for them in the United States.?Harper's Weekly.

In passing along the river by , daylight one would not imagine that the cliffs were inhabited, for the mem- i hers of the colony are fast asleep in the chambers of the cliffs. But at dusk there is a change. At every one of the openings with which the cliffs are perforated appears a countenance so "human like in its expression that ; the beholder is apt to imagine that these must be the faces of the pixies :iud elves of whom he delighted to hear in his childhood days. , The tiny faces belong to a family naving a name nearly as large as the , individuals are small.
