An ordinary engine can be converted
into an ammonia engine Kim ply by the
addition of a "generator," which is much
like a boiler. Steam is unel simply for
the purpoKes of heating the aqua am
monia in the generator. The heated am
monia expel a gus, leaving a weak solu
tion of ammonia in the bottom of this
lxilfrlike affair. When, by raining the
temperature of the ammonia, sufficient
jrfjwer is generated, the throttle valve is
opened and the gas passes into the cylin
der of the enginu and propels the piston
rod in every way the same as steam.
It is here exhausted the same as steam,
but at this jtoiut the gas is cooled and
conducted back to the generator, lln
fore it reaches the latter vessel it is car
ried by a "spray coil" to a point where
the gas comes in contact with the am
monia solution which has been rejected
from the generator, and here the solu
tion is recharged by absorption and by
the natural aflinity existing between
water and ammonia.
Hy this means the same body of am
monia is used constantly, exhausting
itself only to be recharged with new lite
and to li returned to the generator. The
same is true of the water used. The
Kteam in the generator imparts its heat
to the ammonia ami is thereby condensed
ami carried back to the boiler to be used
again. In the ammonia engine there id
absolutely no waste. Philadelphia Rec

One morning as the accommodation
rushed into Macoupin station, Macoupin
county, on the Chicago and Alton, the
engineer saw at a distance what he sup
posed was a white dog on the track, but
when nearly on it what was his horror to
discover that it was a little child about
four years old playing in the center of
the track. Reversing his engine and put
ting on the airbrakes, he endeavored to
stop in time to save the little one. In the
meantime the child, who was apparently
down on its hands and knees, looked up
and saw the huge monster almost upon it.
Terrified, the little one did the best it
could. Instead of attempting to rise and
run it crouched down flat and hid its
head close to the ground. The engine
and one car Kissed over it before the
train was stopied, and ou taking the
child out it was found that with the ex
ception of three fingers of one hand be
ing cut off at the ends it was otherwise
uninjured. The engineer, Darker, was
eo unstrung by the accident that he re
tired to a car while his fireman w;is run
ning the train as it passed through
Brighton. Hillsboro (111.) Journal.
Hail Knocks Mule' Kye Out.
It is a very ordinary thing to hear of
hailstones breaking window glass and
stripping trees and plants, but it isn't
every hailstone that can knock out a
mule's eye. A colored man mimed Ed
Johnsou, who farms about five miles
north of the city, was in town with a
lot of produce. Ilis wagon was drawn
by a mule, and one of the mule's eyes
was knocked otit. A stream of watei
constantly trickling from the socket in
dicated that the injury was of recent oc
currence. Johnson said that one day
the eye was knocked out by a hailstone.
He was plowing in a field when a sudden
storm came up. He unhitched the mule
bo as to hurry to shelter and gave the
bridle rein a jerk. The mule threw np
its head, and as it did so a big hailstone
plunked it in the eye and destroyed the
eyeball. Charlotte (N. C.) News.
.J, ea a High Trestle.
,?ne was witnessed recently
..hern Pacific trestle at the
.ks. The trestle is about 600
J and 55 feet high. Under it is
on Pacific roadbed. The ties are
i eight inches apart and are evenly
.touted the entire distance.
i . . . . .
u eariy nonr tne attention or a
ozen people was attracted by a large
sorrel horse which had walked along the
trestle from the south and was unaware
or tne danger ahead. He was unable to
turn around and had fully 500 feet yet
to travel. The spectators were struck
witn awe, exacting every moment to
see the animal dashed to atoms by a fall.
Now fully mindful of his danger, it was
remarkable to note the instinct with
which the animal stepped cautiously
from one tie to another.
He had just reached that part of the
trestle above the Union Pacific roadbed
when he ltecame dazed and missed his
fxting. Ilia hind feet caught in the tie
and thr:w him, so that the rear portiou
of his body overhung the framework of
the immense bridge, while he held him
self by his fore feet. The scene was a
sickening one, and the spectators looked
every moment for the fatal fall. Sud
denly, with a jowerful lunge, the animal
threw his lody toward the trestle and
managed to regain his feet.
Again he started on his perilous walk,
and when within a few feet of the end of
the bridge fell again and was caught in
much the same manner. Martin Scully
started to the assistance of the animal
with a rope, but the horse was so close
to terra firma that he made an effort to
regain his feet and fell to the sloping
bank, just a short distance below. lie
theu rolled down the bank for about
twenty-five feet. His mouth and hoof
were badly bruised in the struggle, but
otherwise he was uninjured. Olympic

A I'oKtiige Slump Mui-um.
At Vienna a postage stamp museum
has lieeu ojened to the public. The
museum will be open to visitors daily
ami gratuitously. In one room are shown
chronologically all stamps of which
specimens exist from 1840 to 1S91.
Among the postal curiosities shown are
balloon letters, pigeon post and sub
marine jost letters as they were sent
during the siege of Paris in 18T0.
A collection of forged stamps is also
very interesting to the collector. Among
the curious objects shown are letters of
the Anthropophagi in the Dutch Indies,
pieces of wood covered with hiero
gl3Tphics, and postcards which have made
the tour of the world. For one of these
with a penny stamp, which took 119
days to return to its starting point, an
offer of 1 ,000 florins has been made.
There is also a case with a collection
of all the coins struck during the Em
peror Francis Joseph's reign. The finest
object in the collection is believed to be
a Dundee stamp, worth 500, and a Cape
of Good Hope stamp valued at 100. The
exhibition comprises 3,000,000 stainpa
and other objects connected with the
Iost. London Queen.

A Strong Electric Shock.
A startling electrical display occurred
in front of a store on Pearl street, Al
bany, one evening. A boy caught hold
of the iron hoisting bar of the awning
and tried to raise hiinsolf np in order to
look into the window. There is an elec
tric light in front, and the iron frame of
the awning became connected with it.
In au instant fl;tshes of electricity flew
ont of the boy's feet with detonations
like a pack of crackers. He was com
pletely charged with the fluid and could
not let go his hold. A bystander caught
hold of him and pulled him away, but
in doing so received a shock himself and
was knocked into the street. The boy
was dazed and stunned, but was soon
restored, and walked to his home appar
ently nuinjured. The voltage which
passed tlirotigh him was about 2,500.

Wore Female Attire All IT In Life.
Many examples are known of women
dressing as men, but until lately no case
has been known of a man going about
disguised as a woman. A man named
Signol, seventy-two years old, employed
as a cook, was taken to the hospital of
Saint Antoine. Paris, suffering from gas
tritis. Mistaken, on account of his
dress, for a woman, he was taken to the
ward reserved for members of the weak
er sex. When they found out the mis
take he was put into another ward.
The strangest thing about the whole
case is that Signol says that he never
wore male attire excepting on the day
he was examined by the conseil de re
vision in order to determine whether he
was fit for military service. When he
was seventeen years old he went as a
servant girl to a farm in Lin-sur-Mer.
lie remained there eleven j-ears. He
learned to cook at Caen and went to
Paris, where he was emplo-ed as cook
for forty years either in private families
or in boys' schools. Paris Letter.
The Tallest Man in Illinois Dead.
John Lohman. the tallest man in the
state, died in Tazewell county recently
after a brief 6ickness, aged seventy-five
years. Mr. Lohman was raised in North
Carolina, and "had to stand on his toes
to see the sun shine over the great hills
there in the morning." This is what he
used to tell inquisitive people who asked
what made him so tall, he being 6 ft. 9 in.
in his stockings. Carthage (Ills.) Record.
A Close CalL
Thirty-six freight cars passed over five-year-old
Eddie Cninther at East Buffalo,
but, strange to say, his only injury is a
slight cut on the head. He was standing
on the track and was struck by the train,
which was drawn by a switch engine. It
having no cowcatcher, he was pushed be
neath the standing board and lay in the
center of the track while theentii train
passed over him. Buffalo Times.
A Dear Kite.
An attempt was recently made at San
Francisco to smuggle $50,000 worth of
.opium through the custom house, con
cealed inside of bananas. A custom

one, when he discovered, at the first
bite, the trick that put $25,000 into hia
pocket. Jornal do Comercio.
I'liifonus for Employe.
A Bristol storekeeper donned a white
duck coat, and was so pleased with the
effect that he ordered all of his employes
to wear white duck coats during busi
ness hours. Rather than obey the order
two of the clerks quit work. Neverthe
less, uniforming goes on among store
girls, judges, railroad hands, waiters
and indeed in almost every occupation
where it is desirable that the public
should recognize the employes. The
mistake of confusing a customer for a
clerk has led to rather embarrassing sit
uations in many a store, and clerks who
object to being uniformed have the sat
isfaction of knowing that without their
uniforms they cannot be distinguished
from their employers. Philadelphia Inquirer.
Real Hailstones.
During the hailstorm at Palmyra Fri
day some children at play on a stoop
brushed up a large quantity of the hail
stones as they fell and put them on a
plate to melt, but instead of melting the
stones remained, and upon examination
it Was found that all of the hail was
formed around white stones about the
size of peas, and in several there were
fine shells. Most of the stones were
transparent and of a blue white color.
Several parties in various parts of the
place report that they also obtained a
quantity of these stones and shells, and
they are all mystified to know where
they came from. Oswego (N. Y.) Palla

A farmer of Wayne, Mich., ninety-one
years old, and worth $30,000, lost his
wife four years ago. Last spring he saw
on the street a pretty brunette twenty
two years old, became enamored, ob
tained an introduction and proposed. She
spurned him, when he offered to make
his will in her favor. This failed and
he offered to deed her all his property.
This also failing he became crazy and
tried to hang himself. Then he was sent
to an insane asylum. He walks the halls
of the asylum moaning for his darling
Emma. Philadelphia Ledger.
Choked by a Cow's Tall.
A peculiar and fatal accident occurred
recently to the seven-year-old son of Mr,
Trainal Carter, who lives four miles
north of town. The little fellow was in
the habit of driving the cows to pasture
every morning, and one morning after
he had eaten his breakfast he started off
with his cows as usual. About an hour
later a member of the family went in
search of him, and was horrified to see
a cow dragging the almost lifeless body
Dver the field. The boy had tied 'the
sow's tail around his neck, and the cow,
gentle one, had become frightened and
ran off, dragging the little fellow with
her. The little fellow was released only
by cutting the cow's tail, and was barely
alive. Louisville Courier-Journal.
A Tough Mule.
The vitality of the mule is little short
of amazing. In Memphis one fell twenty
five feet down an opening in the street.
It landed on its head and, the hole being
narrow, it was unable to change its posi
tion. It was supposed that the beast had
broken its neck, as a sharp, clicking
noise was heard when it struck bottom.
After half an hour the mule was hoisted
out by the heels and laid on the ground.
It showed no signs of life, but, notwith
standing, it was given brandy liberally,
and in a little while, to the surprise of
the thousand spectators who had col
lected, the mule rose to its feet and
walked off as though nothing unusual
had happened. Philadelphia Ledger.
