To the horror of the workmen he slipped and fell feet foremost into the machine. Ys soon as possible the engine was stopped and an attempt was made to release the boy from his wedged position. Strange to say the lad retained consciousness and after one shriek of agony remained perfectly composed during the half hour required to remove him from the complicated mass.

Editor of the Independent: My eastward journeyings during vacation days this year, remembering also the previous westward tour, have furnished occasion involuntarily to study the modern means of eettinjr about It needs not a moment's rellection to remark that the ever moving earth has gone a great way beyond the Oriental oxcart, the Judean ass and, we may begin to add, the American horse, as a standard catalogue of conveyances. It was in the days of our infancy that the term "locomotive" was coined as the name of the steam engine no so common the world over as the mover of cars. We observe especially in the last ten year that the passage to and fro by rail has grown measurably fast-

Cars are propelled ail about the city of Buffalo by a like power planted at Niagara falls, twenty-five miles distant. Yesterday we took a rural electrical round trip out from Syracuse to Manlius and Edward's falls twelve miles away, through nrbored avenues of bor- ! dering maples, past pleasant hamlets, green hills and watered vales, a most enchanting journey. Edward's falls are a near duplicate of the celebrated Minnehaha, f alling into a gulf which is much more than a miniature of the great Niagara gorge. There again was the power house in the gulf, fed through a four-foot pipe of boiler iron reaching from the fore-bay at the top : the bluff, a power of ninety feet fall, The large dynamo and power wheel j moved ho silently that no motion was discoverable to eye or ear until we I cached the door of the house into which there was "Positively no admit Near by ia the St. John's Military school, Manlius, N.

Evidently steam cars of ponderous capacity and calibre will soon be relegated to long distance traveling, and neighborhoods will be knit together with live wires for locomotive intercommunication. But the carriage ubiquitous for short distance in every place is now the bicycle. It goes without saying that the bicycle has come to stay, and also to gc very frequently, and a looker into a street sees sometimes as many riders as walkers wheeling in all directions. The Plymouth dailies come with newsy regularity as letters in volume from home, so that when we return next week, there will remain only the very latest news to be told .
