Mr. Bchr has 5 > cen quietly operating the

time pant , and he has put It to the severest
and moat exacting tests , such as operating
the trains under a Hpeed of 150 miles an
hour around sharp curves and of dropping
them down Bleep grades without any dimi
nution of Telocity. The Tervuerne road is
three miles long , built in the shape of an
eclipse. That it to hay , there are two
utraight sides joined by curved ends , the
curves having a radius of 1,000 feot. The
track proper is a stout trestle laid upon
ground sleepers. "Upon top the trestle there
is the falugle bearing rail , and at either side
ot it , lower down , a guide rail.

That Is not BO very -wonderful , but you
cannot lay BO much of the car itself. It is
a wort of double-decker , about Blzty foot
long , and dual lengthwise ns well as ver
tically , throughout UB lower half. This
double lower portion houses the main
wheels , the guide wheelb and the electric
motors , which lorclve their power from a
conductor laid along the track. There are
four of these motors weighing three tons
each. They are attached to four of the eight
carriage wheels. With 600 revolutions per
i minute each motor develops 160 horse
power. That gives n Ejieed of 100 miles an
hour , -which can easily be doubled.
Beside the eight carriage wheels there are
thirty-two guide wheels , which run upon the
guide rails and preserve the equilibrium.
Thus even at three mlleb a minute there is
no possibility of derailment.
The upper half , the car proper , seats 100
paBBttigers , and has beside compartmontb for
thf electrician uud conductor. In the ulcc-
itriclan'E cabin there are two air-brakes , one
for blacking speed , the other for actually
flopping the train.

but a very sufficient one tinder the circum

Mr. Bohr built It as later he built the
Belgian experimental line. The Listowel
model was n line put up by a French en
gineer out in Algeria. At first he built a
double-track line on the ground , but the
sand storms covered .up . his tracks faster
than he could uncover them , so he had re
course to trestle construction , along which
cars -were drawn by mules after the man
ner ( jf boats on-a cmml. Happening to see
It , Mr. Behr decided that It was a good
scheme and proceeded to imitate It upon
the Irish coast. From steam and twenty
mlli-B an hour the transition has1 been more
natural than rapid. He has gone slowly and
surely to the cud that later he might be as
BUTU of helping the world to go very fust.

these invite It. Single-rail Hues may help j

Two or three miles a minute is faster than
flight , save indeed the flight of wild fcwaus
and reed birds. Heed birds have been shot
in New England with crojts full of Carolina

The amount of coHec to be drank will

to 800 pints , or enough to fill a coffee pot

The .laying out of the tables that are to
neat these 1,600 diners -was to important
a matter ttiat n civil engineer made a
special purvey last week. The ground floor ,
it was figured , could Beat only 1,230. So
tbe opera boxes and tbe wings of the stage
will have to be fitted up with tables to seat
the remaining 330.
On the stage , on an elevated platform ,
will be placed seats for 100 of tbe honored
guests and some of the leading democrats
of New York. It will require 230 waiters
at the tables. A corps of 100 will be
needed in the chefs" department to conk ana
dish up this dinner.
For a temporary kitchen the arcaded side
walk along the Thirty-ninth street Bide of
the Metropolitan opera house will be
boarded up and made into a. vast Ehud.
Here will be placed ranges , sideboards , "ice
chests and all the accessories of a hotel
culinary department.
The baHcment and cellar of the opera
stage will also be used for this purpose.
Even such commonplace things as dishes ,
Kpoons , knives and forks rise Into impor
tance on an occasion like this. For It will
take 10.000 plates , 20,000 knives and forks ,
10,000 spoons and no on through the whole
list of similar things. The cost of this din
ner party will be $16,000 , it is said , for
which the individual diners will pay at the
rate of J10 apiece , except the invited guests.
A curious feature of thlr political dinner
is that it will ( have living souvenirs of the
occasion it celebrates , Jefferson's birthday.
These souvenirs are to be twelve men from

chased from Napolmm in 1S03 These twelve

All Important Alliance
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR READERS AND FRIENDS.
THE BEE announces that it will combine one thousand friends and readers in a cooperative
ative club to be known as The Bee Century Club. Each member of this club will secure one
set of that best of all reference libraries , The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia , at a saving
of about 40 per cent of the prices now prevailing. Never before has such an offer been made
in 1he west and never again can it be duplicated. All middle-men , all booksellers' profits , all
agents' commissions , will be done away with , so that each club member will be on a par with
the largest wholesale buyer. The saving thus made is the result of an alliance between
The Century Co. , of New York , an *
The Omaha Bee.
E BEE realizes that newspapers in the west are doing some of the best work that was formerly done by book ? . The
I Bee realizes , also , that newspaper readers do not derive as much benefit from their reading as they should. That is to
say , they ought to follow more intelligently the really interesting facts or incidents that the newspapers mention , or
that suggest themselves in daily life. This is because many persons have no suitable reference work to help them. The
Bee will therefore supply this need through its Century Club.
The only work that has ever been published which meets the needs of every one is The Century Dictionary and
Cyclopedia. The business man , the professional man. the mechanic , the woman in her home , and the children in their
school work , alike find that The Century answers the questions they ask of it. It is the greatest reference work thai the
world has ever seen.
seen.AT LOWEST WHOLESALE PRICE.
The Bee brings this splendid work within the reach of every one. even those whose incomes are quite liinitfid. The
advantages of our club are that the member secure ? a discount of about forty per cent from the publishers' regular price ,
and is on a par with the lowest wholesale buyer , and in addition has the privilege of paying for the books on small monthly
payments.
Anyone who reads this announcement can secure a place in our Century Club and a set of The Century Dictionary
and Cyclopedia provided he acts befoie the club is filled. The number of sets at our disposal is limited , aud they vrill cer
tainly be quickly taken. If , therefore , you wish to secure one of the sets , you should act at once.
