Conductor Tom Muncly has been quite ill for a week or so past. blaster Mechanic Archibald was in Denver Sulday on business. L. B.

Frank Wiedman left for Oxford Wednesday night to take a position a , operator for the B. & M. at that point.-Cambridge Kaleidoscope Engineer J. W. Holliday spent the closing days of last week in Denver , re- turiiing home on Sunday morning , having - ing purchased a fine piece of horseflesh during his absence , and shipping the same on that morning's freight. The doctor is now supremely happy. On and after the ist of May all passes issued to railway postal clerks will be cancelled. This is the outcome of an order issued by the postmaster general last June requiring clerks to live on the line of road over which they run. Congress - gress annulled the rule , but the postmaster - master general now renders the original order effective by forbidding the use of passes. As he clerks cannot afford to pay fare , they will be obliged to move or resign. About 1.700 of the 6,3oo clerks in the service are affected by the order. The longest car ferry ill the world is soon to be established on Lake Michigan. Big boats will be built to run between PeshtigoWisconsin , and South Chicago. They will be equipped with ice crushers , will carry twenty-eight loaded cars each , and will make the round trip every three clays during the whole year. They will form a direct connection between the railroads of the northwest and the railroads - roads of the east , carrying the loaded cars around the city of Chicago and avoiding the delays and switching charges incident to passage through that tangle of railroad tracks. It is a curious development of transportation methods , this ferrying of freight cars across the whole length of Lake Michigan. It is something so new and so daring that railroad men are not yet prepared to say that it can be done successfully. It may cost a little more to run a boat than it does to haul a train , but then there is no wear of rails and no fixed charges on a c' istly roadbed to payout of the receipts. If the new ferry proves a success it will , offer a striking evidence of the cheapness - ness of water transportation and its su- perk ity over the rail under reasonably favorable conditions. The "Preliminary Report of the In come Account of Railways in the United States , " prepared by Mr. Henry C , Adamsstatistician to the Interstate Corn = mission , shows the great depression in our industries following the panic of 1893 On the basis of 149 559 miles of railway open for traffic , the passenger earnings fir 1894 show a decrease of $53 per mile ; the decrease in the freight traffic is still more marked , being $774 per mtle. The total decrease per mile was $34o under the average earning of the four preceding years. In 1594 the gross earnings of the 149.559'uliles- railwpy were $949,639,075 ; the operating expanses - panses in the same period were $643- 4 = 8331 ; this left $306,210,744 to be divide - e I atllong the holders of the stocks and bonds. This may at first sight seem a large sum , but nearly one-quarter of the railways in the United States are in the hands of a receiver. The operating expenses - penses for 1894 show a gratifying decrease - crease of $574 per nlile over the previous year. In 1893 the gross earnings per mile fell to $7,1go , while the operating expenses increased from $4,8og to $4,876 per mile. In 1894 the gross earnings sank to $6,350 and the operating expenses - penses were 4,302. This decrease of $574 per mile shows that a rigid economy - omy must have pfevailed , as many..of the expenses of the railways are constant - stant , without regard to whether busi. ness is good or bad. - . - ' ' : - - - - : : - - : 1 s. A OPIEAT ORAWBACr. , k.rr Mawr. Wonderful Coat Not Oaly U1. let Proof , but Airtight. After a series of thorough tests in Germany and London it has becu dem onstrated that Herr Dowo's coat cannot be peuetrat"d by bullets. The impenetrable - trable quality of the stuff is seep in the faot that the German rifle , which cati send a bullet at a distance of 100 yards through a thick steel plate , strikes harm. lessly against the new coat. of mail , which is described as "a wire netting lucased in a cementlike mass. " So in spite of much misgiving and cousidc able ridicule of his invention "the lit- tie tailor of Mamlheim" is on his way to fame mul fortune. There is , however , one great drawback - back to the snce ss of this invention , which put" its use by soldiers in the field pr ctlcally out of the anestion. The coat , which veighs not less than tdx pounds , is as impervious to air as it is to bullets , and in a great battle more men would ho stifled to dczt'1 or rendered unfit for action by the wearing - i ing of such an apparatus over their breasts than could ho saved by it On going into action the fast impulse of the soldier would be to strip off Dowe's coat and take the chance of a ballet through the breast in prcferenco to suf- fecat'.on. Highly desirable as it is that the tcrriblo casualties of the battlefield should be lessened as much as possible , the practical utility of this novel armor is extremely doubtful This , too , seems to be the conclusion of the German military authorities. On the other hand , it is conceded that i Hel r Dowe's invention will be. of great value for the construction of light barracks - racks , batteics , army tents and boats and for many other uses in defensive warfare. If it shall possess all the qualities - ities that are claimed for it , the material - rial may largely supplant steel armor r for men-of-war. But there are physical t laws which make Herr Dow&s invention - tion of no value to man ar horse ott the t field of battle. It is not improbable , ho' cvcr , that improveutcnts may re- 't vo or greatly lessen the dif ueulty o ; using the stuff as defensive armor for the individual cidier At amy rate , Herr Dowe has invented a material' which is impenctrable by bullets , and this cannot be said of steel plates nor oI any other kiown material of dectsive I armor.-Philadc':7aia Rccord.

He and three sons and four other relatives - tives startd to urako an exploration of the cave. In am inner compartmcat they found a large pile of silver coin of ancient - cient coinage. They had filled one sack with the money whets they were all overcome with the fire damp with which the cave was filled , and uuly fcur of the party succeeded in reaching the open air alive Old man Cuevas was taken very sick as the remit of his terrible cxp.rieuce and a few days ago died. On his deathbed - bed he confided to the priest the secret of the cave , and a party of explorers was at once organized to visit and secure - cure the treasure. It was headed by Sil- verio Garza , a prominent citizen of Say binas. They were all driven out of the cave by the noxious gases , and two of the members of the 'arty havu died from the effects of the poison which they in. iialed. The news of this second expedition - tion had become public , and the authorities - ties have placed guards at the cave to guard the treasure until further explorations - tions can be made.

The low price of silver in Paris halo stimulated- inventive genius of a manufacturer , who has consequently made a new metal by means of an alloy of copper and silver , using the auccess- ful proportions of the two. He has really - ly obtained an entirely new metal , one of a most extraordinary degree of strength and mostvaluable for resisting madden or long sustained strains. There seems little doubt that the cost of pro duction will not be so great as to pre- 'vent its large use in the future , even should silver greatly increase in value. To the low price of silverwill be credited - ed the idea of using it as an amalgam for a specially high class of met- al--London Court Journal General Caceres.
