Colonel John C , flonnor. a prominent cap-
1ta1It of Tolerlo , 0. , has juL boon given a
. franchise by the city councfl for the un of
car tracks throughout the city of ToIoo
upon whchi he ma run his patented HraIl
L wagona ° for a term of One year. 'rho lion-
nec rah1 wagon" Is a combination vehicle
on which t I proposed to load farm wagons
or other vehIcIc. It 1 o constructeil ate
to be rcalfl' convertible for use upon any
ordinary roadway or upon a raflroatl track.
IL can bo litte from the one to the oUter
at will , without the necesatty of reloading
or rehandhing the contents between poinL
of hilpmont and destination.
- Tue wagon proper is patenteti after the ordinary -
dinary imrovcd road wagon , modifled of
course , for the special nature of the service
contemplated. The running gear and springs
fire of standard construction , having
carrying Capacity of from three to seven
tons , depending upon the class of freight to
be carried.
The rail truck is not materially different
from the car truck in general use on electria
railways , except that It is provided with
special attachments for automatically gripping -
ping and supporting the wagon , which coni-
3irises its load.
The promoters of the enterprise have
promised the city council of Toledo that
convenient receiving and distributing eta-
tions vilL be located within the municipal
boundaries. Bulk merchandise will be
handled ; parcel , mail and express matter
also , the wagons making store-to-store col-
Jections and deliveries , accomplibcd by the
wagons taking the rail line of travel least
llSel for passenger tramc , and by operation
at night when streets are not. otberwla in
- . c. service.

A prophecy has been made that it will
f not be long before there is a belt of smii-
tog gardens and fields , crested with palms ,
; and inhabited by a contented people , on
both sides of the ancient river Nile , au the
_ ) way from Cairo to Khartoum. A scheme is
\ already well on the way for tapping the
T river at the higher level above the cat-
nracts , conducting the water to vertical
shafts , down which it will fall to drive
turbines , and tising the power so gener-
attd to run dynamos , from which electricity
in the form of alternating or continuous
current will be transmitted to points nearer
or remote. The water , after passing through
; ho turbines , will be restored to the river
at a lower level or else used for Irrigating
the land. There will be no waste of ma-
tonal , as in burning coal , and no smoke to
pollute the limpid air of the ( lesert. Electricity -
tricity will be applied , not only in pump-
lag for the irrigation , but in driving machinery -
chinery for preparing the raw products of
the soil , spinning cotton , weaving silk and
ninny other industries. Another project In
the same direction is now talked of. Water

Progress of I3lectrte Power ,
Before the ilays of the steam engine , that
is to say in its present form , the city which
enjoyed tim advantage of water power be-
canto almost certainly a manufacturing city ,
Later on , when coal became cheaper by
reason of better transportation facilities ,
the steam engine largely took the place of
tha water wheel , Now that by modern
electrical machinery energy can be so easily
transformed Into heat and light , and power
can be transmitted over wires , the city by
the waterfall may regain its ( orator pros.
tigo , It is a comforting thought , observes
the I3altimoro Sun , that the people of a
town can get from the' fast-flowing river
not only power to operate machines , but
light for their homes anti streets and heat
to warm their dwellings and cook their
meals. In California , where fuel Is scarce
and expensive , much attention is paid at
this time to utilizing the energy ot streams
by means of electric macbinery. At fled-
lands , California , there Is an electric plant
which delivers the power of a waterfall
at a distance of twenty miles , At Fresno
the power is carried thirty-five miles. hero
is an enormous water power , and the energy -
ergy conveyed over the wires is 2,000 horse-
power. The time may come when sun
energy flay be preserved in storage batteries -
tories and the power of the winds and tides
be utilized In the same manner.
Iticandescent Lnutp Generates heat
The incandescent electric lamp , says the
London Lancet , is essentially a device
which transforms electricity partly Into
'ight ' , but mostly Into heat. As is well
known , the carbon filament of the lamp is
a suhatance offering great resistance to the
passage of the .current , and the product of
this resistance is light and heat , It Is an
instance of the translation of one form of
energy into another. It thay not , however ,
gendrally bo known that the light Procitlce.l
Is but after all only a small percentage of
the energy thus manifested-some 5 or 6
per cent only at the most. This fact is
important , bcaring In mind a common notion -
tion that the electric incandescent lamp
is free from beat rays , It is true that the
lamp when 'working is not comparable with
a flame or naked light , but at the same
time the heat evolved is such as may lead
to ignition. We are disposed to emphasize
this point because the incandescent electric
lamp Is used for the purposes of iilunilna-
tion and decoration in shops without any
regard to the possibility , nay , probability ,
of fancy goods being fired which tiappsn
to be contiguous. Indeed , so firm Is the
idea thet the incandescent electric lamp is
free from beat that it is frequently to he
found buried in a mass of easily ignited
and highly Inflammable material , This is
a mistake , and care should be exorcised
with the electric lamp in its application in
this connection , but the risk , of courae ,
is not so great as where naked lights are
employed. We have found by experiment
that on Immersing a 16-candle power l.mp
(100 ( volts pressure ) in half a pint of water
the water boils wlthtu an hour and in
proportionately less time when a 2.candle
power lamp Is substituted. If agaIn the
lamp be buried in cotton-wool , the wool
soon begins to scorch and ultimately to
burst into flame ; In one experiment vthich
we ttled the bursting into flame of the
wool was accompanied by a loud report.
duo to the explosion of the lamp. It clearly
appears from this that the incandescent
electric lamp cannot be regarded as an unlikely -
likely means of starting a serious ftre , and
shopkeepers , especialiy those who exhibit
highly intlammablo fabrics , should know
that there is a risk In placing such goods i
too close to the lamp , The lamp in contact -
tact with celluloid fires it in less than five
minutes , and therefore the danger is particularly -
ticularly ohviou5 In the case of to shops ,
s'herc incandescent electric lamps are often
nusponded in the midst of toy celluloid
balls ,

When the professional anti cientiflc fishermen -
ermen nascinbioth at the Millard hotel yesterday -
terday , they spent some time talking of
the beauties of the exposition , which they
visited last night , and there was nothing
hut praise from all of them for the wonders -
ders of the show , To such an extent is tltI
true that the society is apt to shorten its
session during tim day , and give more time
to looking over the exposition grounds.
When the regular work was taken up the
question of reducing tlo annual dues was
again'considcred , anti when tue vote was
taken , the society decided to cut them
dowi : from $3 to $1.
The election of officers followed , with this
result : President , George F. Peabody of
Wisconsin ; vice president , William II. how-
man of t4cw York ; treasurer , L. D. Hunting-
( eli of New York : recording secretary ,
Herschel Whitaker of Michigan ; correspond-
lag secretary , 3. E. Guockel ot Ohio ; execu-
tie committee : J , S. Dale of Pennsylvania ,
E. E , Bryant of Wisconsin , S. .1. Shanahan
of Ohio , F. N. Clark of Michigan , 3. W.
Titcomb of Vermont , \V. L. Itidy of Nebraska -
braska and Dr. 3. A. Hcnahali of Montana ,
Having disposed of these important items
of busIness the society devoted the greater
portion of the day to reading and discuss-
lug papers en various phases of the fish
questIon , all of which wore on a ecientilic
and technical basis.
Value of Microscope ,
3. J , Stranahan of Put-In-Bay read a
paper on "The Microscope as Practically
Applied to Fish Culture , " in which ho cx-
plained how , through the use of the microscope -
scope , the fish culturlst could tell at once
whether eggs were impregnated , and thereby
save himself a large amount of titus and
some expense in trying to hatch unim-
pregnatod eggs. He bold that a spawn
might have a most. promising appearance
and yet be without any vnlua whatever
and this the microscope wouid disclose at
the first examination. Throuch the use of
the microscope the fish culturist can also
determine whether the spawn taker is doing
good work. The speaker said that the oldest -
est and most experienced spawn takers are
the cause of the most trouble in that they
got into ruts and take eggs which are not
impregnated.
Mr. Stranahan illustrated many of the
points of his paper by means of phiotorapbs
of the microscopic reproductiono of the
eggs , sbowing them In various stages of
development , their appearance when urn-
pregnated and otherwise. He showed that
the power and effectiveness of the microscope -
scope were so great that defective eggs can
be detected as rapidly as they can be placed
under the glass and removed.
Work ( If the Society.
J. E. Gunokel of Toledo discussed "The
Fish Culturist , " the central itlea of his
paper being to show the work accomplished
by the fisheries society from its organization -
tion on December 20 , 1870 , down to the
present time. He gave all credit to the
fish culturist for the preservation and in.
crease in fish , through their scientific researches -
searches and advocacy of state laws. He
explained how they had taken trout and
other high Class fish from eastern 'waters
and transferred them to western lakes and
streams , and by artificial propagation had
increased their number.
Ho described the fish as the poor man's
food , in that it can be had for the taking ,
and costs no man labor , This being true it
merits the study anti investigation being
given it under the aid of state and na-
tionai government.
He thea touched upon the fish exhibit
at the exposition and said the display was
a revelation to him anti fully demonstrated
the usefulness and value of the work being
done every year by the fish commissioners.
In closing his paper Mr. Gunckei alluded
to the exposition to be held at Toledo in
1'J03. ! n honor of the centennial of Ohio's
statehood , and snid some good words for
the enterprise , inviting the society to prepare -
pare for a fish exhibit at that time which
will eclipse anything previously attempted.
New lden on ilass.
. .
\v. . J. O'hirIen , superintendent of state
hatcheries at South Bend , presented a paper
on "Tho Propagation of Black Bass , " in
which he advanced sonic theories which were
entirely new to most if not all of the dole-
gates. To Prevent bass from eating each
other has been a vroblcm before the fish
cuiturist for these long years and Mr.
O'Brien presented what he believes to be the
solution.
The theory outlined in his paper is that the
bass should be kept. in cold water until about
spawning time when they shall he turned
into warm water. This change , lie argues ,
wIll hasten the spawning period and result
in the eggs being hatched at about the same
time and the young fish will grow to maturity -
rity together. Under existing conditions
there is no effort to secure uniformity In
spawning and the last fish to be hatched are
eaten up by those immediately their seniors ,
Until the iroduct has been virtuiiliy dii-
stroyrd. Mr. O'Brien said that this theory
had been put in practice during the last
year at the hatcheries In Nebraska and while
too early now to give definite results lie lucIa
confident they will prove satisfactory.
This paper attracted considerable attention
from tile delegates and the discussion wliiali
followed it evidence that it had turned
the thoughts of thu fish cuiturists into new
channels.
The session of the society in the afternoon
was cut short , as the members desired to
visit the exposition again , and the final cession -
sion vlhi be held this morning , A few of the
delegates went away last night , hut the
others viii remain through the tIny , as this
has been set aside as lishcrrniiu'u day at the
exposition.

ROUTE FOR THE BOULEVARD
I'rcliinliinry Selection for the flIgltt-
oI-Vny for SIte Drive Has
, ilccn Accuntitlislied.
The SoUthwest boulev.ird , a portion of the
proposed boulevard system of the city which
is to connect hlanscoin and fliverview parks ,
seems to ho approaching a stage where it
will ho transformed into a reality. The
Advisory board has approved the appraise-
meat of the property that must ho con-
dcrnncd , matla by a half dozen freeholders ,
nail has recommended to the city council
that it ho confIrmed , The matter will be
before the nttention of the city fathers at
their next meeting.
There have been but few objections to
the boulevard scheme , as all the southsid-
era are enthusiastically in favor of it. There
has been hut one protest. This was ro-
celved it few days ago and conies from
George T. Mule , harry T. McCormick nail
C. Anna Remington , They are the owners
of eighty-four Iota in Deer park addition
which are to be condemned , The land lies
along Boulevard avenue between FIt-
teenth and Twentieth streets. Those
lots were valued at. h1O0 each
by the appraisers and the owners
insist that this is entirely too low , They
cite as proof of this that for purposes
of assessment the city has been valuing
the lots at $375 each , and they have been
paying taxes on the one-third valuation
piaii-$125. They believe that an injustice
is being dons thOrn through the low ap-
praiserneut , but are willing to compromise
on the matter , They want the city to agree
that deductions from the appraised value
of any one of the lots taken for unpaid
taxes shall apply only to the lot
taken ; In other words , that no
money Shall be appropritited from one lot
to pay taxes on another ; and that no heae-
fits shall be assessed on adjoining property
owned by them in Deer park addition. If
this riroposition is accepted by the city , the
owners will not fight the appraisement , hut
they say that it It is not they will appeal
from the appraisement. The Advisory board
seems to think that the owners have a right
to kick under the circumstances , aotaing that
ottlier the appraisement is too low or that
the city has been getting an illegal tax
from the property. The board therefore
recommends to the council a consideration
of the proposition.
The SouthweSt boulevard has a beginning
at Thirty-second and Arbor streets. It. runs
to Thirty-first and then southward to Boule-
yard , where a half circle Is made back to
Vinton , and then runs eastward over the
tracks to Twentieth. At the latter street
it cuts southward to Boulevard again and
runs almost directly to fliverview park. At
points the boulevard will spread out into
little parks.
If the council confirms the appraisement ,
the next stop vili be the actual condemnation -
tion of the property , the assessment of damages -
ages against the adjoining property and
then the building of the boulevard.

aistent reports of a rising of a serious na-
tune in Ecuador a message was sent to
President Alfarro asking him for the facts.
His answer was as follows :
The non's of the revolution in the eastern
part of the country is incorrect , Invasion
threatened on the south , but. I doubt its
taking place , for our troop are already on
the frontier. These enemies at the govern-
mept are making efforts to bring about the
revolution in the country to put an end to
the railroad enterprise , which will help to
estabhialt a permanent peace and to
strengthen the liberal government. We
are very strong , ELOY ALFARRO ,
President.

WASHINGTON , July 21.-In a report to
the State department United States Consul
Dudley , at Vancouver , Ii , C. , says that care
should ho taken by those who contemphats
going to the gold fields in entering into
transportation contracts , Certain companies
have obtained a considerable sum of money
( generally $500 for each : person ) upon very
ingeniously worded contracts that the per-
eons paying should be transported to the
gold fields In the north , with all necessary
outfit furnished and expenses pitlel. In three
ciues in which men have paid their money
they have been brought at shight expense
to Vancouver and other ports and then
abandoned ,
The men who had contracteti with one of
these companies became suspicious vhlie at
Vancouver , but after an explanation by the
agent they agreed to go forward , The comi-
sui says he baa received a letter front one
of the party , now at Fort Wrangle , AbaBka ,
saying that this company induced his party
to go to Wrangle and after puihluig this jiro-
visions up the i3tickecn for fourteen miles
sent them into camp , where they have ye-
rualned ever since , When asked to be put
ahead , they were put off with promises and
iiow feel that the company does not intend
to do anything. The party , which Is now
at the camp far from home anti without
mooney , consists of thirty itien from the Old
hay state , Tile consul suggests that per.
eons desiring to go to the gold fields take
every vossibie precaution. lie says ho has
abundant evidence that several conipanios
arc now and have been for some months
engaged In the nefarious traffic referred to ,

be extended to the hawaiian islaiids as soon
as the hag s'tis raised there. 'rho details
have not yet been worked out , but it line
been determined to make as few changes
as voasibhe in the present hawaiian system
for the tints hieing. This regular postal
rates wlhh apply to idi points within tbo
ishanthe , but It Is a question whether tke
ordinary rates will prevail for mail transported -
ported by vessels , It. may be necessary on
account of the long voyage to increase the
rates slightly. As this hawaiian stamps
