i Steel Freight Care. The next great revolution in the use Of steel will be the building of com¬ plete steel freight cars. The cost of a steel car fifteen years ago, says the Railroad Gazette, would have been several times that of a wooden car, rendering its use impracticable. To¬ day It is possible to build a complete steel car for about the same cost, per ton carrying capacity, as a wooden car, and the advantages from the transportation point of view are very great. The saving in dead weight is a large factor in this direction, as also is tho saving in repairs, and Incidental¬ ly the absence of risk from fire, while the life of the car would be, say, three times as great. For example, take a saving of 6,000 pounds per car In dead weight as com¬ pared with the wooden car of equal capacity In an equipment of 1,000 cars, X been**computed oZ^unds O^tonf H has that It costs In round figures $10 per annum to haul one ton of dead weight on the basis of tho average mileage made per cat per annum. This would mean a sav- Ing of $25,00,000 per annum on 1,000 cars alone (saying nothing about the saving In repairs), a sum equal to the interest on their cost Applying this to the 1,250,000 cars which constitute tho freight equipment of the United States, the saving would amount to the enormous sum of $31,250,000. course, these cars cannot be so altered es ns to io effect eneci this uiis saving saving, It u should snoum, however, serve as an object esson and cause every ra lroad man. charged wilt, Urn responsibilities regarding the possible economics In this direction, to look well anil carefully Into every¬ thing which will tend to lessen the dead weight and produce a permanent structure, such ns may bo found In a completed steel freight car.

Columbia State, Newspaper, Declare* the Law a Failure. The South Carolina dispensary seems surely doomed. The Columbia Daily Register, the recognized organ of the administration from 1890 to the pres- ent time, the public printer and the ardent supporter of the dispensary, has turned against the system. It says: “So long as tho dispensary is kept in politics the evils inseparable from the institution under that condition can never be eradicated. To keep the dispensary impracticable out of politics is utterly under prevailing condi¬ tions and with such a powerful engine under political control, the ends of equity and law can at any time be de- feated by an unscrupulous hand upon the law. threatening the pc'oplo by the .lispem » « ««•/ *o -“empt to conceal it, and tho Register, though a support- er of the system per se, would be dere- iS'tata’SigS it did mentsif not come out boldly and state the truth.

Mr. Cannon w as bitter in his denun¬ ciation of Spanish atrocity, character¬ izing the captain general of Cuba as that “mad dog Weyler.” Mr. Lindsay declared if the informa- tion furnished by United States con- suls was so shocking as to subject them to assassination if their names were disclosed, it was time to send warships to Cuba and to terminate all diplomatic relations with that country, Horrible state of Affair,.

Mr. Vest declared that this pre- sented the most serious phase of the subject, as it was time to protect our officials with warships if their personal safety was threatened for making re- ports to their government. No action on the resolution was taken, but Mr. Morgan said he hoped to secure a vote Thursday on Mr. Hale’s motion to refer. He desired to do this, he said, in order that the Cu- ban resolution might not antagonize the tariff bill on Monday, After some objections, the senate decided to adjourn from Thursday until Monday.

I CURIOUS CLOCKS.’ Interesting Specimens of Timepieces Which Have Been Made. The origin of the clock is unknown, but such timepieces were known in Italy as early as the tenth century. Some think they were first invented by the Saracens. From that time many elaborate and whimsical designs were constructed, and those which were skil¬ fully and wonderfully made brought fabulous prices. An old Italian sol¬ dier, who served prior to 1689, con¬ structed one of the most curious of these. By its mechanism the figure of a tortoise was made to drop into a plate of water, having the hours marked on its rim. The figure would float around and stop at the proper hour, teliing the time like “a learned pig-” A lizard also was made in the same j timekeeper to ascend a pillar on which the hours were marked and point out the same thing by creeping along an hour-marked cornice. The figure of a golden cock that flapped Its wings | twice with the approach of the hours “4 «“*'«>* favorite for ancient timekeepers. Of the various specimens that might be given of the early designs of the clockmakers’ art not the least inter- esting are the several types of lamp i clocks. One of theso was of a kind quite common in the seventeenth cen- tury, and consisted of a lamp burner placed at the base of a glass oil re¬ ‘^tacle mounted vertically upon a suit¬ able standard. The oil reservoir had attached to it a scale, facing the burner and showing the hours, beginning at * o'clock in the auernoon,.at which time the lamp was to be lighted in tho "inter, and ending at 7 o’clock in the j morning. The lamp being lighted, the gradually descending level of oil, as combustion proceeded, marked the hol,rs - Another device—of later origin, dating back to the beginning of the Present century—utilized the same principle. It consisted of two commu- nlc ating oil chambers, superposed by 1 a clock dial - In one of the chambers was placed a night lamp to illuminate this dial, and in the other was sus¬ ' pended a float cord which passed around a small pulley. The latter was mount- ed on a horizontal axis ending in the center of the dial. The float, of course, i descended as the oil w r as consumed, and carried the index hand along w’ith it, thus marking the hours precisely as in the case already cite— At their best, these timepieces could have had only an indifferent degree of accuracy, yet they probably served their purpose well, and certainly are interesting at the present time as illustrating some of the expedients adopted by mechan¬ icians of an earlier period.—Commer¬ cial Advertiser.
