SOME NOVEL RAILROADS.
EXTRAORDINARY WAYS IN WHICH
TRACKS IIAVB BEEN LAID.
AHallronrt on Ice Tracks JjA Id on
Tree? Stumps, In the Air and Ol It
er wises.
In ft small book entitled "Wonders
nnd Curiosities of the Hallway," tho au
thor, Mr. W. S. Kennedy, tourhrs on the
fuiem.ilous nnd entertaining features of
his nub, Oct in chapters bearing such sug
gestive titles as "The Lightning Har
nessed," "The Locomotive in Slippers,"
"The Luxuries of Travel," and "A
Handful of Curiositcs.'' The averngo
reader, who hasnotmade railway-building
a special study, will perhaps be as
tonished to learn that thero have been
railroads, not only under the ground and
in the air, but among tree tops and on
tho ice, while the model of even a sub
marine railway has been exhibited.
It appears that some time ago a loco
motive on sled runners was constructed
in Scotland, and employed for drawing
passengers and freight over the ice be
tween St. Petersburg and Cronstadt.
Tho two driving wheels in the rear were
studded v. ith sharp spikes, whereas the
front part of the engine rested on a sled
which wai swiveled, and turned to the
right or left by wheels working in con
nection with an endless screw and a seg
ment rack. From this locomotive,
which is said to have run eighteen miles
an hour in any direction, the transition
is natural to railroads whose ties and
track have been laid on the frozen sur
face of rivers. Sir. Kennedy tells us
that in lTi), when the mercury stood
twenty degrees below zero, a train of tho
Northern I'acifle railroad passed over
the Missouri Hiver on ice three feet thick.
The pressure which the ico resisted may
be estimated from tho fact that the track
was laid on twelve-foot tic, and that the
cars carried over a quantity of railroad
iron as well as a number of visitors.
About a year after a similar road was
built across the river St. Lawrence at
Hochelaga. In this instance a rough
road-bed was first leveled in the ice;
then crossbeams were fitted in, and upon
tnese were placed longitudinal beams
which were themselves crossed hj tho
ties that held tho rails, water being then
pumped over tho whole structure to
freeze it down.
Even more novel is the idea of grading
for a railroa l through a forest with a
crosscut saw, and laying tho tics on the
stumps. This has actually been done in
Sonoma County in this State. Here the
trees were sawed off and leveled, and the
tics fastened on the stumps, two of which
were huge redwoods, standing side by
side, and sawed off seventy-five feet from
the ground. So firm is this support that
cars loaded with heavy logs can pass over
with perfect security. It is not generally
known that in lSJJil no less than fifty-two
miles of the projected road of the Ohio
Kailroad Company was laid on wooded
piles which were from seven to twenty-
eight leet long, and driven ten feet apart
in four rows. So train.howevcr,was ever
run over this track. Several wooden
track railways, on the other hand, aro
actually operated in tho United States
and Canada. One of these, in the prov
ince of Quebec, is thirty miles long, and
is used in the transportation of timber.
The rails are of maple, and trains are said
to run over them with remarkable smooth
ness, at the rate of twenty-rive milos nn
hour. Another wooden-track railway,
moro than fifteen miles long, has been
constructed on the grading of the aban
doned South Carolina Central Iiailioad,
in order to carry tho products of turpen
tine distilleries to a market.
Still more curious aro what Ken
nedy would call the bicycle ra'lways,
where the car wheels run on a single
rail. One called tho ' 'steam caravan''
was begun in Syria, between Aleppo and
Alexandietta, but apparently never fin
ished la the case of this experiment
tho rail was raised on a wall of masonry
twenty-eight inches hii:h. and seventeen
and one-half inches broad. On this one
rail were to travel the wheels of the lo
comotive and the carriages attached, but
it was intended to brace tho engine and
the last car in the train by obliquely
placed leather-covered wheels, running
along the sides of the wall, which wheels
were f urthe;- to serve as breaks. A i-ingle
rail, or bicycle railraad, has a'so been
built in the United States, and was in
operation at Phoenixville, I'enn, in 1.17(1.
Since that date a two-wheeled locomo
tive has been made in Gloucester, N. J.,
for an elevated railroad in Atlanta, Ga.
With these bicycle engines may be com
pared the railway velocipede-t," many of
which, we learn, are used on Western
railroads. These, which have a wheel
n each track, can bo propelled by the
feet and hands of the rider at tho rate
of twenty miles an hour.
There is nothing specially new in tho
project of atmospheric railways, or, in
other words, of propelling carriages along
a largo tube by producing a vacuum in
front and applying atmospheric pressure
behind. This device has not proved of
much practical value, though a tubular
ioa i of this kind wai for a time in actual
operation at the Crystal Palace, Syden
ham. Tho tube in thh instance was of
brick, a quarter of a mile long, nine feet
high and eight feet wide, and th) car
within it was used only for the conve
nience of passengers. Tho piston that
propelled the car was rendered almost
air-tight by means of a fringe of bristles,
extending nearly to the surrounding
brick-work of the tunnel and to its floor.
A fan, worked by a steam-engine, both
exhausted and compressed the air. Tho
motion of the car was pleasant, and the
ventilation ample. In connec tion with
this branch of his subject, Mr. Ken
nedy tells us that "a flying locomo
tive" was made to justify its name at
the a-ronautical exhibition in Lncrland
in lfi'i. 'I ho engine weighed thirteen
pound', and was made to lift itself,
with forty pounds in addition, to a
height of six inches in continuous flight
around the room. Tho contrivance of a
wind driven chariot, or car with sails, to
which Milton alludes in his "Paradise
Lost," as having been employed on the
plains of China, has, at various t'nus.
b.'cn mado use of on the level road of
Holland. Mr. Kennedy recalls the ftct
tlit recourse was hsd to the same method
of 1'icomotlca tbout lS.;o on a railroad
ftom Jlcitimore to Lllicott's .Mills. Put
amu'h more mccessi'ul svl-car was in
ventel fur the Kansas Pucilic Kailroad,
and has Ik cii used for years as a hand
car on that roi l. The" mast is eleven
feet high, and tho triangular sail has
two booms. On the plains a speed of
forty miles an hour has been attained
by this car wilh the wind right abeam,
the sail close-hauled, and the road full
of disadvantageous curves. Argonaut.
Tho Gloucester Fishing: Fleet
From an article by Franklin D. North,
in tho Century, we quote this incident:
"There is always great rivalry among
the vessels of the tishinrr fleet, for the
skipper who catches tho most tish is
'higli-lino, a title of no little consequence
on tho Banks as well as Cape Ann. The
attributes of a 'high-line' man aro iron
nerve, fearlessness, ay, recklessness or a
perfect contempt for danger or death it
self. No doubt thero is such a factor os
luck that goes to make up that sum of
qualities which, taken together, produce
this specimen of manhood: but it is not
counted upon, and is that description of
luck that attends the hero of a hundred
hotly contested fields, in all of which he
recklessly exposes himself. It is said that
the greatest 'high-line'of tho haddocking
fleet between a January and a May landed
800,000 tish of nil kinds, valued at $!,
300. Kach of his crew of fourteen men
received nearly eighty dollars per month
after all expenses were paid.
"The struggle for the honor of 'high
line,' besides encournging tho 'Banker'
to battle with the tempest, sometimes
necessitates a resort to subterfuge in or
der to prevent another from dividing a
school of fish with him. Thus a tieorges
skipper who has struck fish, if seen, will
be beset by others passing to and fro on
the Banks, and, unless ho misleads tho
new-comer, his success will be great:y
interfered with. Tnercfore, the crew of
a vessel that is being rapidly filled with
fish will sometimes be ordered to pull in
their lines and desist when a sail is made
out coming up. Tho fish aro quickly
thrown into the hold and the crew or
dered to man the windlass, as if prepar
ing to lcavb their anchorage in disgust.
" 'Are you getting any fish?' comes
from the skipper of tho stranger as he
bring his veseel up into the wind. No 1'
grufriy and sarcastically shouts back the
other skipper, 'I'm getting my anchor I'
At this the stranger generally sheers off
and squares away for pastures new and
less sterile.
"The crew of the anchored vessel heave
away at the windlass as if they intended
to leave, and thus keep up the delusion.
But the anchor is not disturbed, for their
shrewd skipper is paying out the cable
ns fast as they heave it through the
hawse-hole.
"When tho mackerel fleet fished with
hand-lines the pursuit of this industry
was often attended with much excite
ment. Occasionally, when massed to
gether in great fleets, the vessels carried
away their main-booms, bowsprits, jib
booms, and sdls by collision in what
might not inappropriately bo called a
hand-to-hand encounter, and when the
man t-uvre of 'lee-bowing' was tho order
of the day. A licet of sixty odd sail de
scry a schooner whose crew are heaving
and pulling their lines. Tho gstening
scales of the fish sparkle in tho sunlight.
The fleet ns one vessel turns quickly on
its heel, and there is a neck-and-neck
race for the school. The first that ar
rives rounds to under the lee of the for
tunate craft, tho crew heaving the toll
bait with no niggard hands. The new
arrival now shakes up into the wind
close under the lee-bow of tho fish
catching vessel. The fish forsake the
latter and fly at the lines of tho new
comer. Now comes up the balance of
the fleet, and each vessel on its aivival
performs the samo manoeuvre and lee
bows its predecessor. Those to wind
ward, forsaken by the fish, push their
way through their neighbors, till away,
and round to under tho bows of those to
leeward. The hoarse bawling of the
(-kippers to their crews, the imprecations
of those who have been run down and
left horn d comb.jf, rend the air, while the
crews setting and lowering sail and haul
ing fish freely exchange with each other
language not to be found in any current
religious work."
Frugal Men.
A cigar dealer of the metropolis told
one of tho S'ih'j reporters the following
story of frugal men who are satisfied
with the tips that are clipped from
cigars :
"We never have to empty those trays,"
said the cigar merchant. "We've half
a dozen dutlers who walk in and empty
thjm for us. Once in a whilo two of
them drop in at once, and one of them
has to take a back scat and fill his pips
with air while the other takes the clip
pings. I remember one solitary instance
where the man who was left actually
walked up and bought a five-cent cigar
and looked on with an amused air, like a
supercilious millionaire, while the other
worked the cigar-tip growler. They
say the tips make a very good smoke,
though there is so much gum on them I
don't see how they can; but, of course,
there is a good deal of good tobacco in
them. Id the shop where I was before I
came here, an old man came and regu
larly bought for a triflo tho exclusive!
right to tho tips, and we had to drive all
the regular cruisers aw ay. lie used to
come in re;ulnrly at certain hours every
day and en.pty the trays into a bag he
carried with him. JJo must have had
a dozen more places on his circuit, foi
the bag was often two-thirds full."

Building: a Bridge Against Time.
A recent isue of tho New York Sun
says: A span of the Dundee bridge of
tho New York, Susquehanna and West
ern Kailroad collapsed the week before
last. A temporary bridge on spiles was
to bo built by midnight of last Thurs
day. The bridge engineers of tho road
said it could bo built by that time. On
every siding of the road which is a sin
gle track from Jersey City to the coal
regions, were coal trains and freight
trains. Orders were civen to moveeverv
train at midnight on Thursday, and the I
completion of tho bridge on time became
a matter of necessity. i
As fast as the spiles of the bridge were j
driven tno Etring pieces and rails were
laid. The last spike was driven home
just a few minutes before 12 o'clock, and
there was not time enough left to take
down and remove the steam spile driver.
So this high frame work was chopped
down like a tree, and the boiler and en
gine tumbled over the bridge into tho
river. Ten minutes of time was of more
value than $J,000 worth of machinery.

We Appeal to Experience.
For a long tune we steadily refused to pub
lish testimonials, believing that. In the opinion
of the public generally, the great majority
were manufactured to order by unprincipled
partiesas a means of disposingof their worth
less preparations.
Tbut this view of the case Is to a certain ex
tent true, there can be no doubt.
At last, several years ago. we came to the
conclusion that every intelligent peison can
readily discriminate between spurious and
bona tide testimonials, and determined to use
as advertis.-meiitsa few of tho many hundreds
of unsolicited certificates hi our posses
sion. In doing this we published them as nearly as
)Kiiulc in the exact language used by uur cor
respondents, only changing the phraseology,
in some cases, so as to compress them into a
smaller space than they would otherwise occu
py, but without in the least exaggerating or de
fraying the meaning of the writers.
We a re glad to say that our final conclusion
was cm reel one that a letter recommending
an article having true merit, llnds favor wiiu
t lie people.
'iheorig nal of every testimonial published
by us Is on hie in our iiflice, an inspection of
which''will prove to the most skepl ical that
our assertion mad" above, that only the facts
are given as they appear (herein, is true.

impossible, tor all of our friendsto cull on us

in there, besnelil, lo correspond with any of

A gentleman who has spent the mtitlitiejr

"Then, 1 suppose you hnve been advertis

"Not at all. We have always heretofore

Why, high seientilic and medical nutlici i
tios now publicly concede tliat oar Warnur's
safe cut e is the only seientilic Seeilie for
kidney and liver diseases, nnd for all tho
many diseases caused by them."
"Have you evidence ot this:"
"Abundance! Only a few weeks ago Dr.
J. 1 (Stephens, of Lebanon, Ohio, n Ricciulist
for the euro of narcotic, etc., habits, told nie
that a number of eminent acientille niedicnl
men had been experimenting for years, test
ing anil analyzing all known remedies for
the kidneys nnd l.vor; for, as you may Is1
aware, the excessive tte ot all narcotics nnd
stimulants destroys tho-e organs, and until
they can be restored to health the hatiiti
cannot be broken up! Among tho investi
gators were such men nsj. il. Hall, M. 1.,
"resident of the Htnto Hoard of Henlth nf
Iowa, and Alexander Neil, M. 1)., Professor S
or Mirgery in the College or Physicians and
Burgeons nnd pi trident of the' Academy of
Medicine at Columbus, w ho, after exhaustive
inquiry, reported tbatthore was no remedy
known to schools or to scientific in ptirv
equal to Warner's safe cure!"
"Are many persous addicted to the use of
deadly drugs!'
"There are forty millions of peoplo in the
world who use opium alone, and there nre
many hundreds of thousands iu this country
who are victims of morphine, opium, quinine,
nud cocaine. They think they have no such
habit about them so many people are un
conscious victi.us of these habits. Thev
have pains and symptoms of what tlioy
call malaria and other diseases, when iu
reality it is the demand in the system
for those terrible drucrs, a demand that
is caused largely by physicians' pros Tiptions
which coutuiu so mnny dangerous drugs,
and strong spirits, nnd one that must be
answered or silenced in the kidneys and liver
by what Dr. Stephens says is tlioonly kidney
and liver spccilic. Mo also says that moderate
opium and other drug eaters, if they sustain
the kidney nnd livor vigor with that great
remedy, inn keep up those habits in mod -ration."
" Well does not this discovery give you a
new revelation of the power ot safe euro!''
"No. sir;for years I have tried to convince
the public that nearly all the disrasss of I hit
human sysfem originate in smne disorder of
the kidney's or liver, and hence 1 hnvo
logically declared that if our specific wero
used, over ninety per cent, ot these ailments
would disapear. Tho liver and kidneys
seem to absorb these poisons from the blood
and I income depraved and diseased.
"When these eminent authorities thus pub
licly admit that there is no remedy like ours
to enable the kidneys and liver to throw oir
tho frightful effects of all deadly drugs and
excessive use of stimulants it is an admission
of its power as great as any ono could desire:
for if through its influence alone the op.um,
morphine, quinine, eocaiuo and liquor habits
can be overcome, what bighor testimonial of
its specific power could b i asked for f"
"You really lielieve then, Mr. Warner,
that the ma jority of diseases come from kid
ney and liver complaints ("
"Idol Wh-'ii you see. a person moping
and groveliiigabout, half dead and half alive,
year alter year, you niny surely put hi in
down as having some kidney and liver
trouble."
"Tho other day I was talking with Dr.
Fowler, the eminent oculist of this city, who
said that half the patients who came to him
for eye treatment were atl'ected by a Ivan, ed
kidney disease. Now many people wonder
why in middle life their eye sight becomes
so poor. A thorough course of treatment
with Warner's safe cure is what thev ns d
more than a pair of eye glasses. The kidney
poison in the blood always attacks the weak
est part of the body; with some it ulfects the
eijrn; with others the heart; with others the
stomach or the unys, or rheumatic disorder
follows and nruratjia tears thorn to pieces,
or they lose the power ottate, smell, or Ui
como impotent in other functions of tho
body. What man would not give his all to
have the vigor of youth at coiiiinaudt"
"The intelligent physician knows that
these complaints aie but nniiloms: they are
not the disorder, nnd they nre symptoms not
of disoaso of the head, tho eye or stomach, or
of virility, necessarily, but of the kidney
poison in the blood and they may prevail
and no pain occur in the kidnevs."
It is not strange that the enthusiasm which
Mr. Warner displays in his appro lation of
his own remedy, which restored hini to
health when the doctors said ho could not
live six months, should become infectious
ami that the entire world should pay tribute
to its power. For, as Mr. Warner says, the
sales are constantly increasing, while his
newspaper advertising is constantly dimin
ishing. This speaks volumes in praise of the
extraordinary morits ot his preparations.
