Keasons for Better Railway Speed in England Than America. MAKING GEEEN LE310KS YELLOW. A Preparation That Enables Dishonest Men to Sell Stale Milk. KEKOSEKE CLEAK1KG BOILEES IPREPAHED FOE THE DISrATCH.I Concerning the speed of English railway traveling, Julian Ralph says: "Is it true that there is (aster traveling in England than here? Yes, there is faster trains and more of them. The run from London to Liverpool is 200 miles, and it is made in 225 minutes, or at the rate of a mile in a minute and 27 seconds, which, when the stops are taken into account, is very nearly an average of a mile a minute. The run to Edinburgh on two railroads is made in the same time. These are world-famous in stances, but they are by no means the only ones. Mr. Ralph gives a very clear explanation of the cause of the perfection in English railroad building. England is a small country densely populated. Her cities were built up before the roads were constructed, and to construct them was to make certain of enormous traffic Erom end to end En gland is only 565 miles long; from side to side, at the broadest part, it is only 280 miles wide. Illinois and England are about the same size. Building railroads there was a different thing from building them here. Their profits naturally go toward perfectins their plants, as ours have pone toward lengthening our systems out into the West. Our railroads have mainly developed their own business, while theirs had their busi ness already developed and awaiting them. A comparison of English busiuess with ours shows that England in 50 years has built only 18,000 miles of r.vlioad, but in 18S2 those roads carried 63,000,000 passengers. "We in 50 years have built 150,000 miles of railroads, but in 18S5 we carried only 351, 000,000 passengers. In those facts and fig ures lies reason enough for the superiorityof the English railroad plant. "Give us the nme conditions." adds Mr. Ralph, "and we will do as well." mierobollxer. The usnal method of disinfecting drains ii simply to pour the disinfectant down and ltave it to do the best it can for itself. An apparatus, named the "microbolizer," is now used in England, which leaves nothing to chance in the matter of perfect disinfec tion. The apparatus consists of a small hand pump fitted with, flexible suction and delivery hose. When in use the suction is connected with a pail or other vessel con taining the disinfectant, and the delivery which is perforated for a certain portion of its length is inserted in the pipe or drain to be cleansed. The apparatus is simple in construction, and can be used by any do mestic servant. It is capable of pumping from 10 to 12 gallons per minute or disinfect ing fluid with great force over the internal surface of the pipes, removing the impure matter and washing it away into the main sewer or cesspool. It is made entirely of copper and gun metal, so as to be free from rust and chemical action, and is fitted with a novel form of jet distributor, with spigot, which, being flexible, can be passed through any drain pipe or winding drain. A smaller form is made for nse by a female for cleans ing and disinfecting a sink pipe. It will force any stoppage in the sink or other pipe without tear ot bursting it. THEATRE UNDER THE DIRECTION OP3.E GTJLIOK & OO. Matinees, Wednesday and Saturday. Crcoiotlng of Wood. Large quantities of wood for railway pur poses are creosoted in Trance. The sleepers a-e first seasoned in the open air and then adzed and bored by a special machine, leaded on trucks and run into a drying oven, where they remain 21 hours or more. Alter d-v ng at a temperature of about 17C f atircnheit, they are run into a metal cylin der t feet 3 inches in diameter, and 36 feet 1 g which is hermetically closed. The air is then exhausted, and a partial vacuum is ma ntuued for about half an hour. Com munication is then opened with reservoirs of dead oil, which is allowed to flow at a temperature oi 17G Fahrenheit, under pressure, auu mis pressure is aiterward in-crco-ed by a lorcepump to 83 pounds per square inch, and is maintained for over an hour. The wood used is principally oak and beech, the oak sleepers absorbing from 2 I to 2.7 quarts per cubic foot,and the beech sieerxTS from 8.7 to 10 quarts. The whole opera "ion occupies about four hours. In '-estinj: the question of durability it was !. und diat after 15 years' service the sleepers taken out by the Eastern Railway Company o rran-ee have been 15 per cent for creosoted oak and 00 per cent for creosoted beech. A Nalllen Horseshoe. The periodical nailless horseshoe has cropped np again. The latest form of it can be secured firmly to the hoof without either nails or screws. It is provided with clip ping plates, or flanges, which project up ward at an inclination from the base of the shoe, which latter is open at theback, the opening being bridged bya clamping screw. The shoe is applied to the hoof, and the flanges are dressed down upon it. The screw at the back is then operated to bind the shoe firmly to the hoof. Split or cracked hoots are thus done away with. The shoes can be put on in the morning and taken off at night, thereby resting and cooling the hoofs. denning Boilers With Oil. It is stated that in recent experiments the cleaning of boilers with oil has been found economical and effective in preventing rust scale, besides exerting a cleansing influence on the pipes. The best results were obtained by the use of two quarts per wees: on boil ers four feet in diameter, and 12 feet long, and three quarts a week for boilers five feet in diameter. The kerosene is introduced through a quarter-inch branch to the suc tion pipe of the feed pump, leading to the vessel containing the oil, so that any quan tity, large or small, could be pnt into the boiler simultaneously with the nsnal feed. THE COMEDIAN, MR. FRANK DANIELS, "LOOK OUT FOR YOUR BUTTONS," AND HIS BIG COMEDY COMPANY, -I NCLUDING- MISS BESSIE SANSON, "ONLY A FEW OF US LEFT." THE COMJEA3ST5T: Pavements In Paris. Corsiderable attention has been recently paid by the city authorities of Paris to ex periments of various kinds of paving, nota bly wooden and asphalt, but so far granite and macadam seem to be the most favorably regarded. .Macadam pavement in Pans is restricted to streets where few vehicles pass and to drives in the public parks, such as the Bois du Boulogne. In repairing such roads ot late y?ars it has been customary in some places to mix old asphalt fragments with the broken stone. The results, a3 re gards wearing qualities, show little improve ment over the unmixed stone. The great advantage of the process lies in the fact that such a pavement keeps remarkably clean during the drv weaiherand does not "become so muddy as the true macadam style during lainy seasons. In the middle ol summer, however, an unpleasant odor arises and the surface has a dirty, black color. Decay in Fabrics. A Belgian chemist fs said to have devised a method of rendering fabrics proof against the ravages of decay foran indefinite period. Noting the fact that rosin played an im portant part in the wonderful preservation of Ejrvptian mummies, Le made numerous experiments with substances extracted from birch Dark, to which the peculiar aroma of Itus-ia lejther is due. He found that the green tar winch is left over after the oil used in tanning has been extracted from the white bark of the birch tree yields neither a id nor alk.iloid, and that in solution with aleoh.il n forms a liquid of remarkable fl u mitv, which has the power of resisting, wheu dr, the action of even alcohol. It is claimed that this preservation possesses the propertv f uniting wnh the most delicate Bnd brilliant colors, and rendering them apparently imperishable. An Openinc for Capitalists. Tbe English industries states that a novel Industry, resting strictly on chemical prin ciples, and needing nothing but a little capital and a dash of dishonesty to develop it. is said to be practiced in Florida. It cnsists in avoiding denendence upon tbe slow and imperfect ripeninz of lemons by the sun's lays, by picking the lruit while green ami exnosms it to the utues of burn ing sulphur, whereby its color is changed to n rich golden yellow, infinitely more attract ive than the natural hue. "It is true that the interior of the lemon is practical lv ree from juice, a fact which the hypercritical might reckon a slight drawback;" but this is, alfer all, a trivial matter, affecting only the cousuuier," is the salve applied to the con science. PpnrUle oflbp Diamond. A jeweler's journal explains the ceaseless motion of the diamond, which is so unac countable to the uninitiated. The secret of this motion is in the setting of the diamond, and the method is patented. The patentee is reaping a royalty of 550 from every man ufacturing jeweler to uhom he sells the privilege ot using it. The stone is set in the usu.il tnauner, except that a band-like appliance with rhodium tips is used. The result is what scientists call a condition of unstable equilibrium, and the twinkling goes on and greatly enhances the flashing beauty of the gem. Stale Slllk. Tne New Tork Medical Journal draws at tention to the fact that a preparation named preservaline is being sold to milk dealers to enable them, by adding it to their milk, to palm off stale milk on their customers. It is supposed to consist mainly of boric or salicylic acid. The persons concerned pro fess that tbe milk is not made injurious by this procedure, bnt it is quite obvious that conditions may arise under which the con trary mar be the case. It is fortnnate that the State Dairy Commission has taken the matter up. Card Shuffling Machine, A novelty which will be welcomed by all bnt a fortunately very limited section of the community is a card shuffling machine. The action is quite simple. Two side springs are grasped between the finger and thumb of the left hand, and the cards are placed with the right hand in a receptacle at the top ot the machine. The springs are released and the cards will automatically shuffle themselves, tbe process being almost instantaneous, and the shuffling perfect. George H. Wood, Arthur E.
