Novel Railway Cm
Carrie Own Potoci
Carrying its own private- wntr'
fall to ran itself by a water tiirbinei
A1 railway car utilizing a new type
ef power transmission is attracting
the attention of Swedish transporta-
tion en gin rrs. The prime motive
power consists- of rr internal com1'
busliorr motor of ttic usual type
but instead of using gears or elec-
tric transmission the motor oper-
ates a centrifugal pump which sup-
plies water under pressure to a tur-
bine directly geared to the driving
axle. The spoed of the car is gov-
erned by the height of the artificial
"head" of water created by the
pump. With & motor of 180 horse
power the car has attained a speed
of B0 miles per hour.
An especial advantage claimed
for the new transmission method is
freedom from jerks in starting and
stopping. Swedish railroads have al
ready ordered the manufacture of
four motor railroad cars and one
Diesel locomotive equipped with the
now hydraulic drive.
Welsh Centenarian
Kf remarkable instance of Welsh
longevity is that of Mrs. John E.
Fool a native of Haverfordwest
and now living at Tyndalls Park
Bristol who recently colobrated her
one hundred fourth birthday says
the Cardiff Times. Mrs. Peel's
father waB James James of Stone
hall Pembrokeshire and her moth-
er who lived to be nearly one hun-
dred was a sister of Sir William
Phillips ninth baronet of Picton.
Her grandmother was some years
beyond the century when she died.
As a girl Mrs. Peel was very deli-
cate and her brothers and sisters
died in childhood. She was at school
with the late Empress Eugenie and
.mong her recollections is a stage
coach journey from London to
Pembrokeshire to see a doctor 1
Her husbftnd who died several
years- ago; was a grandson of Sir
Robert Peel.
Buck Evidently Fighter
David Ohaffee of Detroit a mem-
ber of the Remington Hunting club
with their camp located on the west
side of Turtle Lake club secured
a freakish buck deer this year as
his trophy. The animal had only
Hire legs one having been shot
away at some previous time. It
possessed one antler perhaps hav-
ing loci the other in a scrap with' a
younger member of his tribe and
its neck and flanks were soarred
with what appeared to be wolf fangs.

Bathroom Colors
Bathroom colors should be limited
to the owner's income according
to a New York tile expert. A $10-
000 home he says should not aspire
beyond a plain white while only a
blue or pink tint would be permis-
sible in one costing $20000. Not
until the $40000 stage had been
readied could the room take on the
hues of the rainbow. Income tax
collectors who should now be
pluroberi) please take notice. -Louisville
Courier-Journal.
