The disagreeable features of travelling can be overcome when you have a bottle of Abbey's Salt with you,
A change from the daily routine of living brings Head- aches, Biliousness and Con- stipation, which are so fre- quently incidental to travelling
Abbey's Salt will almost instantly relieve you of these disturbers of pleasure by its soothing effect on the Stomach, Liver and Bowels.

An electrio generator to be driven by the draught of a locomotive is a cr-ious recent invention. The entiro apparatus comprises a fan motor placed in the smoke-stack, an elec tric generator, and auxiliory flues near the bottom of the boiler. The theory is that us- der cortain conditions the draught from the smoke-box will supply the fan with considerable power. This will operate the generator, canes an electric covent to beat the auxiliary tubes, and thus deliver the excess of energy of the exhaust to beat the water in the "dead" spaer of the bcilor.
The production of liquid air is thus outlined; Air is comprassed to 1,200 to 1,500 pounds per square inch; passed into receptacles where it is freed from moisture and other impurities; thos into expansion chambers and through long coils of pipe. It becomes intensely cold, reacting tinally 12 deg. below zero, at which point it becomes liqui The liquid is drawn off into insulated vessels, and koops for days, gradually. lessening until it is all evaporated.
Convincing evidence of the relativo durability of posts set in natural position and those inverted has been given by Andrew Whiton, au- American mechanic.. Posts set in Connecticut in both positions were carefully marked, and after nine years the inverted ones were found to be practically sound while others were much decayed.
