Now Idea In Hallway Tracks.
The annoyance of wheels slipping on
tracks, especially in up grades, and the
tremendous resistance experienced, ha3
led to a new invention. The rail is
provided with an edge or rim covered
with cogs or teeth, and the wheel has
similar cogs which engage with them.
These cogs are set on diagonally, in-
clining downward, and are leas likely to
accumulate dust and dirt.

The Mon-Reflllahle liottlo Again.
Ail item in the New York Ledger ha3
aroused a good deal of discussion on
the subject of a non-refiliable bottle.
A number of inventors claim to have
patents that cover this idea, but, as fai
as they have been examined, they are
all faulUL and do not stand the test of
practi< <JTu?e. As a sample of the. work
that has been done in this line, the
following criticism from the Wine and
Spirit Circular may be interesting.
"There have been so many devices
submitted for approval, and invariably
objected to for one rea3on or another,
that the trade seems weary of being im-
portuned, and it is gradually beginning
to consider the idea impracticable, and
to regard the inventors as cranks,
while the glass manufacturers, having
been surfeited In the matter of making
trial samples, are free to admit they
prefer not to be troubled by such work,
and if they can be prevailed upon to
do the work at all, they do it at their
own convenience, which may mean a
delay of weeks or months." From all
of which it appears that the trade does
not consider this want by any means
met.—New York Ledger.
Th«s Influenco of Winds on Vefcelntlon.
At a meeting of the International
Meteorological congress—a report of
which has recently been published
considerable attention was>given to the
effect of winds. It states that the de-
struction of the forests is responsible
for many of the cold waves which we
experience. Special mention is made
of the disappearance of peach trees
from Michigan, which is said to be
traceable directly to the deforestation
of the state and the uninterrupted rush
of cold winds. The hot, sweeping
winds of the plains, known as dessicat-
lng winds, are held accountable for a
loss of something like 21,000,000 bush-
els of corn in the state of Kansas alone.
The absence of timber belts and wind-
breaking forests allows these dessicat-
ing winds to sweep over many miles of
cultivated land. These winds may
reach a temperature of 108 or 109 de-
grees, with humidity not over*20 or 25
per cent at the outside. This report
recommends extensive planting of tim-
ber as the best protection against cold
waves and hot winds.
M O N G the most
conspicuous per-
formers on the trot-
ting turf last year
was the 4-year-old
filly Bouncer,ownod
by William Simp-
son, of New York
city, who Is the
proprietor of a
large breeding es-
tablishment at Cu-
ba, N. Y. Bouncer was bred by her
owner, who deserves great credit for
being the author of such a thoroughly
high-class performer. It was said a
few years ago, Indeed, the echo still
lingers, that the Electioneers were
"soft," and their sons could produce
nothing. Those who are still of opinion
that there is something faint-hearted
about the family should pause and con-
sider that Azote, 2:04%, is by Whips,
son of Electioneer; Tommy Button, 2
years old, record 2:15%, Is by Liberty
Bell, grandson cf Electioneer; Bingen
is by another son, May King; Lynne
Bel, 2:10%, is by another; St. Bel,
2:24%, and Bouncer, 2:10,/4. are In the
samo relationship through Hummer.
The son of Electioneer is but 10 years
old, and was purchased when a colt
by Mr. Simpson. He is a compactly
built, medium-sized horse, being but
fifteen hands high, and when 5 years
old he got a record of 2:37%. Whether
Mr. Simpson considered this did not
warrant further perseverance in regard
to a record is not known, but since that
time Hummer's public career has been
! at an end. It was good judgment that
caused this decision, as in addition to
Bouncer there are quite a number of
young Hummers which promise great
! things. Hummer comes from a direct
double cross of Hambletonian through
Electionoer as his sire, and his dam,
who was by George Wilkes. This close
up blending of Hamiltonlans' strains
has been productive of some wonderful
I results of late years, and Bouncer is
an excellent example of its merits.
Behind Edith we find some good strains.

was nil wrong, nnd that she had the
making of a good trotter and stayer.

Convertible Fire E«oape.
One of the most novel and useful
inventions that has recently come to
our notice Is the combined spring bed
and fire escape. It consists of a plural-
ity of bed-spring oections formed by
U-shaped metal springs, which aro
rigidly secured at their ends by longi-
tudinal strips, said sections being
joined together at alternate 'ends, so
that when straightened out the wliolo
arrangement forms a continuous lad-
der, the central portion of the springs
serving as steps. All a person would
have to do in case of a fire would be to
throw off the mattress, haul the bed-
springs to the window, hook one side to
the sill and throw the rest out, which
would immediately elongate in the form;
of a ladder, upon which a safe descent
could be made.

A New Bicycle Kim.
Among the improvements in bicycles
may be mentioned rims of aluminium.
These rims are said to be extremely
rigid and durable, and, of course, are
very light. A new cyclometer is shown
which weighs but one and three quar-
ter ounces, and is warranted accurate
and reliable. A combined clock and
cyclometer is another novelty. With
this attachment the rider can set time
and stop it again, thus taking his own
speed with the utmost accuracy. It
seems that all of the talk about Increase
of weight in the 1896 wheels has ended
in nothing. Tires in some cases are
thicker and stronger, consequently are
very slightly incroased in weight; but
this is made up for in many instances
by lighter construction elsewhere.
act on the principle of a breakwater or.
dam, holding the water that has been j
forced Into the sea by the tides and
trade winds and cause the water to be
higher in that sea and turn it into the
Gulf of Mexico, which becomes the res-
ervoir or fountain head, whence tho
gulf stream flows like a river from a
lake, being the equalizer of water as,
well as heat and making its way in 1
the direction of the greatest deficiency
of that element. Further, the warmth
of this wonderful stream is accounted
for by the fact that its waters are
supplied from the tropics, the tide
waves acting on the principle of an
eddy, so it has counter-currents, also,
this theory resting upon the assump-
tion that the water is higher on the
east than on the west 3ide of the isth-
mus of Panama, and the continent of
America being the great dam in the
ocean that forms the gulf stream, by
placing tho continent of America so
that it would He east and west, there
would be no gulf stream.—Sclentiflf

Montana Cowboy rropomi to ll« t All
Previous Record*.
Iaham L. Pendegraft, of Custer coun-
ty, Mont., now employed on a ranch on j
Powder river, is better known in cow- j
bow land as "Tex." He is a famous j
broncho buster, rifle marksman and |
trick rider, and has refused many hand- I
some offers from wild west shows. |
"Tex" now proposes to attempt a long-
distance horseback feat that will
eclipse all records In that line now ex- |
isting. At present he is training twen- |
ty-two head of saddle horses for a fast
run from Deadwood, N. D., to Chicago.
He will not use all of the horses, but
will select from the twenty-two now un-,
der training three of four for saddle
and the same number for pack pur-
poses.
The distance from Deadwood to Chi-
cago is 1,247 miles, and "Tex" will en-
deavor to beat the record established
by the cowboys who made the great
race to tho World s 1' air in 1893, from
which race Pendegraft was barred for
some reason only known to the "ring
which controlled the affairs and refused
to accept entrance money from one
other game man besides "Tex." A wes-

tion, Is a very
clever player, who
can be used equally
as well on the in-
field as in the out-
field. He was born
June 1, 18G9, at
York, Pa., but learned to play ball while
attending the Northwestern Normal, at
Geneseo, 111., and after a varied career
as an amateur, made Ills appearance ns
a professional at Los Angeles. Cal., In
1888, where he acted as manager and
played base ball for a local team. In
the latter part of that year he went to
Aspen, Colo., and was engaged for the
professional team which represented
that city during the season of 1889, and
j led his team, as well as the league of
| which his club was a member, In both
batting and fielding. His per-
centage in batting was .370, and in field-
ing was .976. He finished the season
with tho Los Angeles club. In 1890 lie
was connected with the Dubuque team,
| of the Illinois and Iowa League, and
ranked seventh In the otllclal batting
averages, with a percentage of .307,
j while he had a fielding average of .902.
j In 1891 he joined the Joliet team, also
of the Illinois and Iowa League, taking
part that year In ninety-five champion-
I ship games, and again ranked seventh
In the official batting averages of that
league, with a percentage of .304 and
stood second in the official fielding aver-
ages of that organization as a first base-
man, with a percentage of .985. He be-
gan the season of 1892 with the Joliet
team, and led tho first basemen of that
league in fielding, with a percentage of
.987. He also had a batting average of
.282 when he was transferred to the
Chicago club, of the major league,
where he finished the season, taking
part with the latter in ninety-seven
championship games, in sixty-three of
which be played in the outfield and the
other sixteen at second base. He has
remained with the Chlcagos ever since.
In 1893 he took part in eighty-one cham-
pionship games, in fifty-four of which
j he played first base, twenty at recond
base and the remainder in the outfield.
| In 1894 he took part in eighty-nine
championship games, which was the
greatest number In any season since he
< joined the Chlcagos; in the majority he
played at first base, the remainder be-
ing played in various other positions,
j principally tho outfield. He had a bat-
I ting average of .310, according to tho
| official averages of tho major league.
| During tbe season of 1895 Decker took

would lie less than the protection fee,
for being members of the Natianal
Agreement. Any club outside the pale
of tho National Agreement could de-
mand Its own price for the release o! a
player, so that It would be profitable for
clubs to be under the new association.
Reserve matters would be properly at-
tended to In contracts, by having a
blanket clause for a player to sign, giv-
ing the club signing him the refusal ot
his services indefinitely, provided sal-
ary was right. The provisos for tho
advancement of players and salary
could bo easily arranged and printed
in the contract. Thus the minor
leagues could be free from the National
Agreement, which is not national, and
does not agree, and which does not
protect. Our company has tho capi-
tal stock to back such an enterprise."
The shades of tbe departing brother-
hood revolt are still hovering on tho
distant horizon, and until a clear sky
appears the minor leagues had better
look twice before they leap, or they may
land in the midst of some desert whore

the flame will grow pale and, perhaps,

acid (gas) given off In the combustion
accumulates at the bottom of the chim-

that this would bring out the best work
of all the men who draw salaries in tho

official. He touched upon the subject
most thoroughly, and gave advice to
the men looking toward the improve-

spoke briefly of the changes of the
rules and closed by paying a high trib-
