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. - . - '

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.

mountaus , near Sabinaas , imd was first
discovered three months ago by an old
mttu nagged Cuevas , wag in some manner -
ner had dust conic into po.sessiou of a
chart giving the lou.aiou of the cave.
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. Thu general government -
ment has been notified of the situation.

An Alleged New Metal.
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-
