Do not riitfiige in argument. DII not iiitrrrupt another when ATMOSPHERIC RESISTANCE. There is a dispute In regard to the atmunpherie reaisUnce exerted on moving train. Some claim that every Jectiuu which ran catch tbe wind every flag, bolt, bur or strip of mol.l- ing contributes just so much to in- crease friction ami retard api-ed, anil at first the propmtiti >n seems abso- lutely Bound. On th other band, however, there are a innrr uf en- gim-rrt who in-.nl that a train going at liigli speed is enveloped in B coat- ing of air, Wthich movea with it, and prenruts a snKjoth surface to th surrounding atmosphere, regard: * of projections and irregularities on th axles of the oars theoi-ielves. Tbe first theory was recently tested by th.- much-talkad-atxiut 'wind-split- UIIK' train on the Baltimore & Ohiu railroad. The entire engine was provid- ed with a abinld fitting over the front uf Une Mnokenlnrk like the prow of a cruiser, and t* cars were incas- ed in a sheathing that made th- ex- terior one smooth '. n I unbroken ur- fce, from eod to end. Although this tr.iin developed remarkable speed, it did not meet expectations, and is now being rebuilt to correct ci-rtiin me- chanical defects. When it is give.u its final teats, accurate me:isurements of reaiatance, friction and so on i 1 be. m utn, and tlu>n, at Ust there will be something definite ii|on h.-h to base our calculation*. Strange to say Lhere is no exiting data uu th- sub- ject of atiii..-[-h.-ru; procsures. '1'lie 'wuul-^piitter' advixrati claim that their style of oonatruction will !.- > the air friction of a train lu ly 40 par cent anl effact a saving of alxjut 20 per cent in t'uul. If that pruvn to ! th.- case, the railroads of the country will not be long in adopt- ing it, especially as l.he system can be applied to old cars without any great expense.

A despatch from Bong Kong, says: It is said thati the authorities hers have received information that a general rising in the aoutheru pro- Vinoss has been planned for the month f November. The whereabouts of the rebels in the Hinterland is not knowa, bat is believ- ed to be ten miles north of the British borders. A aetachmsnc of 1,UUU Chi- nese troops took up a position at San Chung yesterday and 1,000 more arriv- ed there to-day. Ten thousand more troops from India have teen requ t.on -d for Bong Kong. The 16th Bengal Lancers and the Hong Kong Regiment have been recalled from the north to Hong Kong. The present indications are that there will be a Boxer rising similar to that which has occurred, in north China. "A considerable body of rebels, prin- cipally Triads, ars in the Kowloon hinterland* adw**U is believed they oc- ^a*p> two positions ten miles north of the British border. One thousand Chi- aese troops from the Bogue forts hare arrived at Sam-Chun, and another thousand fiom Canton are marching to the disturbed district. It is rumoured that fighting has occurred and that the Chinese Imperial troops have been defeated by the rebels, who sre march.ng towards the south sad BIV tooted several villages. It Is also reported that the object of the Triads is to overturn the Maochu dynasty and restore the Chiaese. as they believe this ia the only way of establishing peace in tha kingdom." London, Thursday, Oct. 11, 4.U>i.m.
