6AS0LEKE MOTOR CARS.
A New One Just Finished For the
Union Pacific Road.
ONE of the latest ideas in railway
practice is to have cars
which will rim independently
of a locomotive, and yet will
cot rely on electricity as used by a '
trolley car?that is. taking power from ; ;
a distant station through an overhead j
wire or other metallic conductor. Sev-1 :
eral different methods of driving these ;
cars have been tried. In England j i
steam engines are in favor, on the Con- j <
, tinent of Europe storage batteries have i j
a limited use, and in the United States ! ;
two other systems are being experi- j
mented with. One is very complicated. 1
A combination is made, consisting of a !
gasolene engine, a dynamo (to generate ;
electricity! and a motor (like that on a !
trolley car axie) to use it. This would !
seem a needlessly expensive plan, be-1
cause if the power is to be derived
from a gasolene engine it might be \
thought that the latter alone would be j
enough without any electricity, it is.

but a gasolene engine the speed cannot
be regulated as perfectly for a railroad :
car as for an automobile, and that the
addition of the electric machinery
makes control of the running easier i
than otherwise. 4 1
Nevertheless, a few companies are
trying to make the gasolene engine <
alone do the work. One of the roads <
on which that plan is being tested is 1
the Union Pacific. The first experi- ]
mental car was built only about two ]
years ago, and several more have since <
been constructed. The latest, No. 7, is
supposed to represent the lessons of
experience derived from the others. '
In size it resembles No. 2, but it has a 1
side entrance, instead of end doors. 1

A Remedy For FaintneM.
Sneezing is the best brain clearer

-attack of faintness, or fainting, with
.a violent sneeze. Our ancestors took
snuff from a belief in the efficacy of
sneezing. But tobacco so taken is in
part absorbed into the blood, and hurts
the system, says Home i\*otes. Tick

it made a long distance trip. It started
out on the main line westward a short

such an extent that at Fremont, fortysix
miles from Omaha, it was held

MARINE NOISE MAKERS.
Tin Horns, Mechanical Fog Horns
and Various Other Modern
Contrivances.
Tin horns, such as venders bring
out by the wagon load in the city's
! streets on election night, are stock arI
tides of sale the year around in the
j stores of dealers in marine supplies,
j On every boat bigger than a rowboat
i a noise maker of some sort is as necessary
an item of equipment as the
anchor, to give warning of the vessel's
presence or approach.
Thousands of tin horns of various
sizes are annually sold to fishermen,
oystermen and men using boats, in
many waters, in various pursuits, and
such horns are sold, as well, for boats
used for pleasure. A big horn of this
kind might be heard a mile.
For larger vessels, such as schooners
sailing in open waters and not
equipped with power with which to
blow whistles, there are provided mechanical
fog horns that can be operated
by hand, and that can be heard
three or four miles away.
With the multiplication everywhere
within recent years of pleasure craft
I there have been introduced still othj
er sorts of ncise makers. One of
these is a bellows horn, with the horn
I Attached to the ton board of a trimly
finished bellows of oblong shape, to
j the top board of which also Is attachI
ed a handle. This bellows horn can
j be put down anywhere and operated
| simply by pressure. Though not as
! big as the mechanical fog horn it can
| be heard for a considerable distance.
A still smaller bellows noise maker
has in place of a hern an air whistle.
Another whistle contrivance has a
small upright metal cylinder in which
air is compressed by means of a han;
die worked like a plunger. The whistle
which may be one of a single tone,
or a chime, is attached to the outside
of the cylinder.
Still another modern noise maker
is an air blown whistle with a light
contrivance attached. When the whistle
cord is pulled the light shows as
the whistle blows. Obviously the light
attachment is for use at night to locate
the boat from which the whistle
is blowing.
While these later sound producers,
designed more especially for yachts
and launches and tenders and other
pleasure craft, are rather more elaborate,
they are used for precisely the
same purposes as the old tin horn,
namely, to give warning in case of
fog, for signalling in crowded waterways,
for blowing for landings or for
bridges.?New York Sun.

[CLAREXCE ROOK IX THE LOXDOX CHRONICLE]
OF .ill the countries in the world,
surely Switzerland is the most
businesslike. No one can conquer
and anuex Swwitzerkind;
but that is Switzerland's affair. It
does not parade its internal organization,
though, from a close inspection of
the official notices on public buildings,
one may gather that every Swiss from
youth to middleageis required to prac+

tliese William Tells of a later day
would lie behind the shoulder of an imminent
avalanche and pick the apple
from the invader's eye.
But the ordinary visitor to Switzerland
is only dimly conscious of being
in a well-governed country. Vaguely
he knows that Geneva watches are famous,
that Swiss milk is on the world's
market, that the native population
seems well fed, well dressed and remarkably
clean, as compared with the
English peasant, who never washes
his hands, but "when they gets 'ard,
I iles 'em." And in a moment of reflection
he may realize that this is
not a nation composed exclusively of
hotel managers, waiters, porters and
the rest of the people that smooth their
manners to make the tourist's path
easy.
By some extraordinary combination
of circumstances a motley gathering of
Italians, Germans and French, Protestants
and Roman Catholics, Conservatives,
Liberals, Socialists, Anarchists,
waiters, peasants and statesmen,
have combined to form the most patriotic
community in the world.
In the last weeks I have had to reconstruct
my ideas of patriotism while
loitering about the shores of Lake
Leman and talking and mixing all the
languages of which I have a smattering,
not excepting an artful adaptation
of the ancient Greek of Oxford to the
modern Greek of Athens. No doubt
the late Mr. Buckle would have called
Swiss patriotism geographical. Thucydides
gave the hint when he touched
the phrase that may be translated
"community of interests." Switzerland
has that "community of interests," and
to the ordinary tourist who spins down
to Dover, lunches on beef and pickles
as a Briton* should, upon a turbine
steamer, dines in Paris, and- breakfasts
upon rolls, butter, coffee (such
coffee!), and honey in Geneva the wonder
arises.
How is this managed? The question
went round the dinner table at Geneva.
What is the name of the king, premier,
president or ruler of this happy country?
No one knew. The thing is done
without fuss or tumult, without crowns
and robes and baubles. It was only
when the Anglo-Indian shouted for a
waiter that the whisper was given?
the name of the gentleman who happened
this year to be the head of the
Swiss Republic.
Very businesslike is the Swiss Republic.
. It has arranged its seasons.
In winter you may skate, toboggan
and enjoy many winter sports, or lie
in pure mountain air and get rid of
tuberculosis affections. In summer
you may crowd Lucerne and hang in
bunches over Zermatt on the ends of
ropes?guaranteed not to snap. But
Switzerland has another line under the
counter. It has a spring season?and it
smooths the way. Gently it invites
you to the shores of Lake Leman?with
promises of flowers and the protection
of mountains that ward off the horrid
.winds from north and east.
From the very first the way is
smoothed, for yoU may fill your pockets
with a tourist agency's hotel coupons,
and wave them languidly as you
dodder round the lake from Geneva to
Evian and back again, I was rather
nervous about these coupons, fearing
that the hoteikeeper would complain
that I was not playing the game. For
me?I stood on velvet. There was my
food and lodging at so much per day, j
and the only exertion demanded was to
tear a bit of paper from a little boon.
But tbe Swiss Republic is businesslike;
the hotelkeeper knows that he
can m^ke his profit out of the luxuries
of life when the necessities are provided.
I hear him murmuring, "The
little more, and how much it is!" And
the traveler departs without murmuring.
since he knows that the necessaries
of life are in his breast-pocket
Switzerland knows well enough that
the spring visitors to the lake are not
Intent upon climbing, or, indeed, upon
any physical exertion that can be reasonably
avoided. There is just the !
hint of peaks to be surmounted, and
from the middle of the Pont du Mt.
Blanc at Geneva the old gentleman on
crutches surveys the snowy summit he
has no hope of reaching. He is a type
of the spring visitors to the Lake of
Geneva (which you may call alternately
the Lake Leman.) We lounge
on deck chairs before the hotel at Lausanne
and comment on the extreme
blueness of the lake, while one or two

I furious at its blueness, and insisted
j upon a cross-examination. But we do
I not worry ourselves as to why the lake
is blue. We place ourselves upon a
comfortable steamer and contemplate
it. The comfort is increased by the
sight of the jagged horror of the Dent
du Midi?crowned with snow?and the
steward tells a complicated story of a
salamander in an icebox. It appeals
to the visitors who are practical?and
retain the touch of idealism. As we
louifge about the shores of the lake, or
skirt it in steamboats, wa walcoma t'">
contrast between the chilly fastnesses
and the warmth about us.
And the Swiss spring! Still Switzerland
is most businesslike. It invitesyou
to witness the final bout between
the seasons, when the snow retreats
and the flowers wiD. Just now you
may dig a stick into the melting snow
upon the heights above Montreux, and
discover the triumphant blossoms that
lmve been waiting for the moment,of
release. Thousands of feet above the
level of the sea! But Switzerland, the
businesslike, has arranged for all that.
It is scarcely necessary to set one foot
before another. l"ou may be dragged
by all kinds of mechanical transport
aloft.' Even as you tremble at the
transit of the funicular railway that
takes you from Terrltet to Caux aud
will finally convey .you to Lea Avants
and the neighborhood of eternal snows,
you will see the flowers, tenderly truculent,
thrusting their heads through the
stone walls that border the ascent

from the Thames. Both acts were

on the level we are a polyglot crowd
in the hotel, and most of us are here
upon a hint from some doctor or other.
Medical reputations are here spun upon
the point of an epigram. There are
Russians and French and Germans, a
sprinkling of Americans, a few English
and a Persian. But the central
figure is the Anglo-Indian, who has
been imprisoned here by ?doctor's orders
for several months. He knows all
the people in the hotel?their past and
their symptoms. Every evening after
dinner, while the lake lies in glory
and Mont Blanc is catching the final
reflex of the sun, he spreads his cards
for a game of Patience. The nations
of the earth gather about him, and
give advice in many tongues. Those
who speak in many languages shout in
all of them. Especially the amazing
girl who seems to talk all languages in
one sentence?all but Hindustani,
which is the final refuge of the AngloIndian.
There was a move of the
cards. And the girl broke out:
"No, no! Tenez! Tenez! You break
me the head! Sie Gehen zu Schnell!
Ah! la! la! So!"
Then the hotel proprietor, having
stolen up unobserved, remarked in half
a dozen languages that the move was
right, and the Anglo-Indian went to
bed with the happiness of a triumph.
They know their business?-in Switzei*
land.
DIFFUSION OF METALS
Solid Gold Sends Its Atoms Through Unm
el ted Lead.
According to an officiai of the Geological
Survey, very wonderful experiments
hovo hoen m.iflp in TPPPnt Tears
with reference to the "diffusion of solid
metals." It has been proved, for instance,
that gold, without being melted,
will diffuse its atoms through a mass
of solid lead. Of course, the amount
of the diffusion is very slight, but it is
easily measurable.
In some of the experiments cylinders
of lead about two and three-quarter
inches in length, with gold placed at
the bottom, were kept at a high temperature,
but not high enough tc melt
either of the metals for various periods
of time. In three days enough gold
had passed upward through the solid
lead to be detected at the top of the
cylinders. Gold and lead kept pressed
together for* four days, without being
heated above ordinary temperatures,
were strongly united.
Solid gold also diffuses in solid silver
and solid copper.
These facts are regarded as confirmation
of the view long held in certain
quarters that the three conditions of]
matters, solid, liquid and gaseous, probably
always exist in every liquid or
solid substance, but that one predomr
inates over the others.

No Better Place.

who thought himself possessed of a

narrow fate one day to a lady who was

could I do. I would then have an audience
appreciative of my talent."
The lady looked at liim for a moment
and said: "My dear sir, you are making
a most serious mistake. If you have
talent and are ambitious of distinction,
why don't you give evidence of it in
the columns of your own paper? Tour
audience is appreciative enough if you
will but give them something to appreciate."

University, who has made the oyster
a life study, they absorb water quickly,
and become plump, or "fat," but the

"fattening" is usually carried on in the
mouths of rivers, which are always
near towns and polluted by sewage.
Every "fattened" Oyster is too suspicious

of typhoid fever which have
been traced to oysters most clearly have
been traced to "fattened" oysters. All
the fresh water that a "fattened"
