A new record in railroad tr. v-ilâ€" I ling has been established by the j Crrat Western liailro:ri of Great lixilain. On July 1 a regular 120nâ€" stop daily train serviCe was estab- lished between the London terminus at Paddington and Plymouth. The distance is 246 miles, and the “Cor- nishman Limited Express” is schedu- led to over the journey in each direc- tion in 265 minutes without a single stop. This supplies an average speed of 55.69 miles for the journey. This, therefore, constitutes the longest nonâ€"stop railroad run in the world. LONG HELD RECORD. Ever since the year 1896 this rail- road has retained such a nonâ€"stop record, for in that year the railroad company initiated a throug‘h non- stop train from London to Exeter, 194 miles, covered in 3 hours 40 minutes. During the subsequent years, however, this run has been increased to 3 hours 30 minutes, equal to an average speed of 51.7 miles per hour. In the recently inâ€" augurated run, however, the time beLWeen these tw0 points has been still further reduced by 5 minutes. increasing there 73' the average speed to 56.7 miles per hour. Hitherto this railroad has not been able to make the journey a nonâ€"stop one beyond Exeter, owing to the absence of the water troughs betwoen the tracks from which to replenish the engine's water supply. Now, howâ€" ever, a trough has been laid down at Start-.ross, betwoen Exeter and Plymouth. Furthermore, the coal capacity of the engine has been conâ€" siderably increased, and larger 1u< bricating boxes have been sup- plied, so that the oil boxes can con- tain a sullicient supply for the entire journey. NOT YET AT LIMIT. Meritorious though this run of 246 miles in 265 minutes is, yet, if the necessity arises, the speed can be considerably accelerated. This fact was demonstrated on May 9th last, with the North German Lloyd liner Kronprinz Wilhelm. On this occasion the train covered the distance of 2-16:- miles from the dock at Ply- mouth to l’addington in the remark- ably short time of 3 hours 46 min< utes. The run, however, was not a. nonâ€"stop, as a mail van was de- tatched and engines changed at Bris- tol, necessitating a halt of 3 minâ€" utes 43 seconds, which stop. howâ€" ever, was included in the time of the casion was 65.49 miles per hour for the whole journey, and the last 36 'miles of the run to Paddington was covered at the rate of 79.17 miles per hour. On the occasion of the trial run of the “Cornishman Limitâ€" ed Express,” a new record was made 'betwoen London and Bath, the 107 ‘miles being completed in 102 minâ€" utes. , The. road, although not so level as that between Camden and Atlantic 'City, is yet comparatively easy, but after leaving I'lxeter the road beâ€" comes more difficult. l‘ispecially so is the last 5'2 miles into Plymouth, the track abounding in stiff gradiâ€" ents, of 1 in 40, with numerous sharp curves, which militate considerably against fast travelling. SOME NOTABLE RUNS. There is strenuous friendly rivalry at preSt-nt existing among the vari- ous English railroad companies to establish nonâ€"stop records. The Lonâ€"J don and North-western Railroad is contemplating the establishment of a through nonâ€"stop service between London and Carlisle, a distance of 299:} miles. They have already made such a run with a “special,” which covered the journey in 5 hours and 43 minutes, an average speed of 51 miles per hour. With their latest type of engines, howover, this railâ€" road company could considerably inâ€" crease this speed if desired. On the occasion of the Postal Congress at Glasgow last year, the train containâ€" ing the dell-gates, and representing a wright of 4150 tons, was hauled over the 401.1: miles between the two cities. both on the. outward and re- turn journeys, without. a stop, in (5 hours and 6 hours 5 minutes respecâ€" tively. at average speeds of (56. miles and (36 miles per hour. ' MAIL TltAlNS’ SPEED. Already the bout trains running from Liverpool to London in con- nection with Lhe incoming American mails. three of four times a week, cover the 192 miles in 3 hours 4:") Iiiiinltes, an average speed of 51. miles per hour. Other notable longâ€"dis- tance nonâ€"stop runs on this system include Wig-an to Willescen, 188.} miles, in 3 hours ‘11 minutes, aver- age speed 51.1 miles per hour: Lon- don to Siockport‘, 183 miles. in :3 hours 1.8 minutes, speed 5551- miles per hour; London to Chester, 179 mills. in I-l hours 3:} minutes, speed 50.41 miles per hour. The Midland Railroad also have inaugurated several noteworthy long non-stop suns. The record is that recently instituted between and Leeds. 198. miles, in 3 hours 4:") - minutes. speed 52.9 miles per hour.

Yet that is lwhat they have done right here in iOttawa. Mr. S. A.

They know that besides consulting the best doctors in the city and tryâ€" ing every medicine I could think of I was unable to get better. ' “Sometime ago a friend told me Dodd's Kidney Pills would cure me. As a. last resort I tried them and they have cured me. "I could not imagine more severe suffering than one endures who has Stone in the Kidneys and I feel the greatest gratitude to Dodd’s Kidney Pills."

The crocodile comes asliore without much fighting, and is killed with ease. It is very rare for a crocodile to escape once he has swallowed the bait, for the hook goes deep into his stomach and the looselyâ€"pleated rope is so soft that the brute’s teeth have no effect on it. .__.__..+_ Among prizes recently given by the Leicestershire Agricultural Society is one of the carter who has worked longest in the same employ without returning home intoxicated while in charge of his team. . ab...â€" Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car.

POWERFUL ENG INES. The Great Northern Railroad also. proposes considerable accelerations in . connection with the East Coast exâ€" presses. For this purpose mammoth Ipowerful engines have been conâ€" structed. These are designed by the railroad engineer, are. of the. com- pound "Atlantic" class, and repreâ€"_ sent the limit of the dimensions of aI locomotive of the normal type in :Great Britain. They have been speci- ally designed to work the East Coast route express trains kt a speed vary- ing from 55 to 60 miles per hour, with loads of from 380 to 400 tons behind the tender. The special feature of this type of engine is the length and circumferâ€" ence of the boiler. The inside diaâ€" meter of the boiler is feet 6 inches, {11153. the length of the tubes, repre- senting the distance between the ismoke~box and the fireâ€"box, 16 feet 3] 1inches. The heating surface furnishâ€"i ed by the tubes aggregates 2,800! gsqnare feet, while that‘of the fireâ€" lbox supplies about another 200“E isouare feet. The working stem pres~‘ 'sure is about 185 pounds per square inch. The two outside cyclinders measure 18 inches in diameter by 24â€" inch stroke, and the diameter of the four driving coupled wheels is 6 feet- ‘8 inches. The length of the engine ,and tender is 58 feet. over all, and their combined Weight in working order is 110 tons. _ '-_._+__.____ MALAY SUPERSTITION. Believe the Crocodile Is a Spirit of the Water.
