It is the daintiest delicacy for dessert and the pleasantest and most healthful food for breakfast. Always healthful and satisfying it is universally used in city and country, and yet probably not one person in one thousand ever tasted a soda biscuit in its best condition.

The roundhouse now being erected by the Compressed air is coming into general use in all machine shops as a labor saving device and also threatens to work a ravolu-ion in the field of motive power. The New York Herald, after reviewing tbe fact tha street railways are rapidly adopting that system of power, add3: But this new force is not to be confined to stre6t cars, for the New York Central road is building a power plant at High Bridge, and a specially constructed locomotive is awaiting the power to run between One Hundred and Fifth-fifth street and Yonkeis on the Putnam branch.

Its advantages over tbe steam locomotive are said to be economy, cleanliness, retention of power and the even ana regular manner in which this power is freed.

With the same charge it is just as ensy to tun the compressed air engine sixty miles an hour as it is to run it twenty miles for thiee hours, and tbe time in which tbe distance Is to be covered is only limited by the character of the roadbed. Other fields the new force bids fail to enter are those of the truck, omnibus and carriage. A sing'e charge of air will propel a jvehicle from fifteen to twenty-five miles. A compressed air truck can.be stored with sufficient power to run it until coon, and with another charge until evening, making forty miles for the day, of about twice aa much distance as tbe ordinary horsa truck can cover. The ccst is leas than a cent a mile for power to carry weight of ten tons up a 5 per cent grade.

The secret of being able to charge a locomotive for a run of 100 miles is said to lie in the process of making tbe steel bottles Ofiicers and Delegates. A meeting of Post K. T. P. A.

Attorney E. B. Mitchell spent Sunday fv Premier IwmlUt (. a 106 East William Street, Decatur, III. The railroads interested have hope tbat they may be able to secure the defeat cf tbe Atchison bill now pending before the legislature of Michigan.

It Ib a scheme proposing to tax railroad and telegraph corporations on their actual ralue instead of on their gross earnings as is now done. A joint committee of tbe legislature granted a hearing to tbe attorneys ofthe railroad and telegrah companies and among other arguments advanced was the fact that the bill requires tbe companies to'report their gross incomes, including all moneys and credits, but allows no deduction whatever for any indebtedness. The provision tequiring tbat the franchises of companies be taxed was daaounced as positively absurd for tbe reason tbat franchises are given away in Michigan, andshenca have no value. Another serious objection to the bill was that it provided a penalty of 50 per cent and final forfeiture of charter of the company fails to pay its taxes promptly, whereas in the case of all other property a penalty of only 1 per cent and costs is added. Tha scheme was branded ae'one not to provide equal taxation, as its advocates insist, but to make taxation unequal and unjist, and tbe backers of tbe bill were sdviied to cease standing before the people in a false light and honestly admit tbat, as compared with tbe plan of taxing other property, tbe intent of this law is to make.otber taxation unequal and should ba called robbery.

TKAOK ELEVATION IN CHICAGO. According to a statement issued by John O'Neill, representing tha City of Chicago in tbe matter of track elevation, and which will forma part of the annual 'report of the board of publio works 200 miles of railway track have already been eleiated. Tbe distribution of the works Is as follows: Northwestern 62 25 Lake Shore 49.36 Rock Island 3G.02 Pennsylvania 25.53 Illinois Central 23.83 Milwaukee St. Paul 10.29 Alton 61 C. T.

During tbe year niney-six grade crossings were disposed of, making a total of 184 eliminated up to date.

Existing ordinances provide for the removal of eighty-eigbS more. A DREAM. An English paper announces that within a short time a lightning express railway will be constructed between Liverpool and Manchester, at which trains will be run at the rate of 100 miles per hour.
