Protection Against Wrecks Is Also Promised the Postal Agents by This Invention—lt Possesses Bevcral Ad vantages Over the Old Style. To Protect the Mall. Uncle Sam has had much trouble with his railway mall cars for mauy years post, despite the fact that largo sums were offered for improvements in the postal cars. Train robbers bothered INTERIOR OF THE NEW CAll, the postal department not u little, but the thing that hurt the postmasters general most was tho great loss of life among faithful aud hard-working rail way clerks, whose hours are so irreg ular and pay so small. When there was a wreck, the mall car being the frailest car on the train, It was most frequcnt- TIIE NEW ROBBER AND WRECK-PROOF MAIL CAR. ly the one smashed to splinters, and tho unfortunate mail clerks had one chance In a hundred of escaping even In a bad ly battered condition. The death roll of railway mail clerks for the past twenty years mounts up into the hun dreds, and scores of men have been _iPi i THE POUCH STOnAOE END OF THE CAII, crippled for life In railroad wrecks be cause tho mall car couldn't withstand the shock of collision ns well us the passenger coaches. But all this has been changed as the result of much experimenting among the car builders of a number of the big trunk lines. One of the noticeably odd things about tills new type of mall car Is tho luck of platforms, and when the new fast mail made up of these cars moves out of the New Jersey City depot of the Central Railroad, It looks like a mighty centipede of a car 154 feet long. The average mall car is sixty feet long. It is only when the train rounds a curve that it is discovered the cars are really coupled together and there is more than ono long car. Tho abolition of platforms increases the speed of tho train for one tiling. The wind cannot eddy in and about the platforms, and there is less resistance in this mail train than to any other train now in service But the two most important objects achieved in abolishing platforms alto gether are that of making the cai*s stronger and disposing of the great point of vantage for the train robbers. The new cars were built from draw ings by K. W. Grieves, superintendent of the car department of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the postofflec department officials like them so well that they have approved them for several of tho big trunk lines. On the point of strength Mr. Grieves has this to say in his description of the car furnished spe cially for this article: "The malu frame of the car is formed of 10 sills. The depth of the framing is 8 inches. The outside sills are com posed of 2 pieces of yellow pine 4 by .8 inches deep. Between these pieces of pine is an iron plate half an inch thick and 7 inches wide. Tills runs back IS feet on each side of the ear. The center sills are also covered with similar iron plates running back the same distance. In addition to these pine sills and irou platcs between are 4 intermediate sills, which are 4 by 8 Inches deep, and are made of southern long-leaf yellow pine, wlilcli Is very strong. "The cars were designed with the idea of resisting end concussions, to protect the lives of the railway mail clerks. The end sides of the cars are framed on to the longitudinal sills just described, and on the inside of the end sills is placed an angle of iron covering the inside sill as well as the bottom sill, and at the top of the car, on the end, a largo angle iron Is tain across from one side to the other. The end posts, running between the framing and the top of the car, are covered with angle Irons." THE KEELY MOTOR. Would Revolutionize the World to n Greater Extent tliuu Steam. The recent announcement that John Jacob Astor has been negotiating for the purchase of an interest In the work and inventions of John W. Keely, of Philadelphia, has centered public in terest onco more in the Keely motor, an Invention that for more than a quarter of a century has been widely discuss ed. A few men call Keely n great sci entist; more call him a fool; most people call him a clever impostor. But which ever he be he has been more widely talked about and for a longer period than most men who do not wear a crown. Keely began life as a music teacher, 'and it was, he says, the tuning fork that gave him his lirst hint of the new power that he claims to have discover ed. He pottered around a good many years, experimenting with the effect of sound vibrations on different metals, making machines, pulling them to pieces, and all the while getting poor er and poorer. Finally, however, he made a machine that seemed to get an enormous power out of a little bit of energy. It didn't need any steam or compressed air or electricity, but (and this was the queer part) It started at the sound of a fiddle bow. The public have been laughing at this idea ever since, but a few rich Pliiladelphiaus got Interested In it, and formed the Keely company. This was in 1N74. Keely spent a good deal of the com pany's money making machines. When six years went by and the motor didn't mote, they grew impatient and, even though Keely took them to his work shop and showed them curious things tliey couldn't explain (and some of them were scientists, too,) they began to hint that the thing might be a fake. Uut still Keely wouldn't tell the great secret. Every once In a while there has been an announcement of the per fection of the machinery of the Keely motor and then the stock of the concern has gone kiting up into the clouds. Oth er times, after a long period of fruit lessness, the shares have gone down. They have fluctuated all the way from 10 cents to 1,000 cents on the dollar. Fortunes have been made on them— and other fortunes have been lost. In the times when the excitement over tihe Keely motor was at Its height men fought for the chance to buy stock at 200 per cent. In other times tliey have fought for the chance to sell it at DO per cent. But what Is the Keely motor? The "force' 1 which he says he has discov ered nnd which he thinks will revolu tionize the world to an extent far greater than steam or electricity, he calls "etlicric vapor." This vapor is present everywhere, penetrating tho atmosphere and solid bodies as well just as electricity is everywhere pres ent. By causing the molecules of air to vibrate rapidly by nieaus of a ma chine which he calls his "generator," JOIIN W. KEELY IN HIS LABORATORY. he frees this vapor and collects It into a reservoir. He claims that It Is capa ble of far greater expansive power than steam or compressed air. Keely says that through the ether flows a great polnr current, just as electric streams flow around the poles of a magnet, and ids aim is to make machinery so sensi tive that it will link Itself to this resist less stream of energy and perform work. Hence his experiments with the "etherle vapor," which he sa.vs is of the same nature and the same attributes as the polar current. Until he suc ceeds in doing this, Iteely swears he will not divulge his secret, which lies in tlie "vibrator" which "generates" the "etheric vapor." In other words, Keely says he Is making use of the force he has found to make an invention that will overturn mechanics and make him the greatest inventor of the world's history. If you hold a dumb-bell out at arm's lengtli and drop it, it will fall to the ground. But Iveely's motor can keep it up there in the air, and at any desired height—or will, when it is completed. If you lay a dumb-bell down on the ground, and keep everyone from touch ing it, it will lie there! But the Keely motor can pick it up without any visi ble substance touching it and place it on top of a post. If you oil up an engine, set all the belts, draw all the Are from under the boiler, and sit down ten feet away, the engine will wait as long as you do. But the Keely motor will make Hint engine start up and will send the fly wheel at 400 revolutions a minute. Not just now, but presently—when it Is com pleted. If you set up n steel wall three inches thick and balance a cannon ball ten feet away from it, and stand still, the cannon ball will be no more likely to dash at the steel wall than will the stoel wall be to dash at the metal sphere. But Keey can, with a trumpet, and without touching anything in the room, force that trail to leave its rest, to dart through the air, and to pierce a hole in tlie steel, and fall upon the other side. If the motor he ever completed and performs tlie work claimed for It, the whole civilized world will lie bettered and most of the difficulties that con front us to-day will be vanquished. fltorles of Kugcno Field. A story that has boon written about Field concerns the trick he played on two car loads of Kansas City mer chants, who went away ouo time on an excursion. Each car was to go by n'illf ferent route, and the cars separated at an early hour In the morning when ev erybody was asleep except 'Gene Field, who was along to write up the trip. Just before the cars parted company he carried all the shoes from one sleep er into the other and carefully ex changed tliem. Then he took the shoes from the sleeper that had n double sup ply and carried them into the sleeper where nobody had any shoes. The next morning there was a blue streak two ways across Kansas. Every man In both sleepers was miles away from his own shoes. When Clara Louise Kellogg was in tho zenith of her fame Eugene Field ac complished a feat which was attained by no other St. Louis reporter, in that lie gained at once her friendship and an Interview. Miss Kellogg's mother ac companied her on her tours, and relig iously warded off newspaper men. One day Field called at the Lludell Hotel and sent up his card. Miss Kellogg's mother entered the parlor and informed the nonchalant young man that her daughter could not be seen. Field re plied that lie had not called as a news paper man, but as an amateur actor. Seating himself at the piano, he sang two or three ballads, and so charmed the old lady that she summoned her daughter, and the two spent the after noon together in music. Ever after that Miss Kellogg never visited St. Louis without receiving a call from Eugene Field. In Ancient Times. Ik it known generally that works of art were well paid for in ancient times? A German review furnished recently some particulars about that question. Polygnote, ol' Thasos, who lived about 4HO B. C., refused, it is true, any pay ment for Ids works, and declare that lie was sufficiently rewarded with the title of Citizen of Athens, which had been conferred 011 Id 111. But such dis interestedness was seldom Imitated. Thirty years later the painter Zeuxls, of Ileracleum, was called to the Court of Arrhelaus 1., King of Macedonia, lie received for his frescoes in tho Palace of Bella 400 "mines," about SB,- 000. Mnnson, of Blathea, paid $20,000 for "Battle with the Persians," which lie had ordered from Arlstldos, the leader of the Thebtin school. Paniphl lus, of Syclone, gave a course of lec tures on painting: each pupil paid for attendance one "talent," or $1,200 a year. Appellee received twenty gold "talents," about $240,000, for a portrait of Alexander 1., ordered by the city ol' Ephesus. TINY REPUBLICS. Email Coujtrles that Maintain Their Independence. The number of small republics that tmvo stood the test of time and prc icrved their autonomy in spite of the Icalousies of their powerful neighbor is greater than most people imagine. Pltcairn Island, situated in the Pa tlfic Ocean, has long remained In the peculiar position of being Independent ind free from Interference without ever having hail its national exlstenco formally recogplzcd. Its first settlers, from whom the present inhabitants tro exclusively descended, were the mutinous crew of an English maii-of war, H. M. S. Bounty, famous in story. Lying In the eotithorn seas, in the re gion of the Australian coutinent. Is the Island of Francevllle. One of the New Hebrides, it is not far from New Cale donia. In area efghty five miles, It la mainly occupied by about fiOO natives, the white inhabitants being less than a hundred. Franco, which originally had control of this place, gave It, In 1870, a charter of Independence, prom ising that no other power 6hould be permitted to Interfere with It The people elect a President, who governs tvlth the aid of an advisory council of eight members. The President, in addi tion to his administrative functions, ex ercises Judicial powers, and there is no appeal from his decisions. Although no offlco can bo held by colored citi zens, universal suffrage prevails, with! out distinction of sex or color. Just now tho President Is an American, H. D. Polk. To Europe, however, wo must look for the smallest of all self-governing peoples. Somo dozcu miles from tho Sardinian coast to the northeast, the long, narow Island of Tavolara rises from tho sea. Five miles long and about half a mile wide, its soil Is cul tivated by tho natives, only to a lim ited extent, fishing being tho staple In dustry. Tho republic of Tavolara dates from ISSC. The Island has a popula tion of but fifty or sixty souls. What Victoria Could Do. As a matter of fact, says London Tit. Bits, our sovereigns have rarely taken any active part in politics 6ince George lll.'s time, but they could still do soma very astonishing things If they chose. The queen could dismiss every Tommy Atkins In our army, from the command, cr-ln-chlef to the youngest drummer boy. She could disband tbo navy In tho samo way, and sell all our ships, stores and arsenals to tho first custo mer that camo along. Acting entirely on her own responsibility, she conld declnro war against any foreign coun try, or mako a present to any foreign power of any part of tho empire. She could make every man, woman and child In tho country a peer of tho realm, with tho right, In the ease of males who are of age, to a seat In the house of lords. With a single word she could dismiss any government that happened to be in power, and could, It Is believed, pardon nnd liberate all tho criminals In our jails. These are a few of tho things the queen could do If she liked; but It is not necessury to sny that her majesty never acts In matters of stnte, except on the advlco of tho government for tho time being.
