For some years tho Southern Pacific eleotrlcal engi neers havo been studying the ques tion of electrifying tho Sacramonto division of tho Southern Pacific Rail road, which extends for a dlstanco of 13 G miles; nnd during tho year Mr. Sprague, tho father of tho multiple-unit system of operation, and somo of tho leading electrical com panies havo been called In to decide Upon tho system which will bo bebt suited to the conditions. As this is a mountain division, It will form bjr far tho most Importnnt work of thla' kind ever attempted. Consldernblo preliminary work has boon dono by tho Pennsylvania Railroad In Its In vestigation to determlno tho best typo of locomotive and general equipment for Us New York terminal lines. Both dlreet-curront and sln- glo-phaso locomotives havo been unaer test, and wo nro pleased to noto that in ono of tho later designs tho complicated ovorhoad system soiiloy.-Hl was not sufllolently robust to stand the strain of the hoavy traf fic of a four-track mnlu lino road. Moreover, although tho overhoni ork he bi-eti comploted as far as Stamford for many months, Cost Nothing to Try. Noarly everybody knows that charcoal Is tho safest and most effi cient disinfectant and purifier in na ture, but few realize Its valuo when taken Into tho human system for tho satno cleansing purpose. Charcoal Is a remedy .that tho more you take of It tho better; It Is not n drug at all, but simply ab sorbs (the gases and Impurities al ways present In tho Btomach and In testines and carries them out of tho system. Charcoal aweetons tho breach after smoking, drinking or .aftor eating onions and other odorous vegetables. Charcoal effectually clears and Im proves the complexion, it whitens tho teeth and further acts as a nat ural and eminently safo cathartic. It absorbs tho injurious gascj which collect In the stomach and bowels; it disinfects tho mouth and throat from tho poison of catarrh. All dnugglsta soil charcoal In ono form or another, but probably tho host charcoal nnd tho most for tho money is in Stuart's Charcoal Loz enges; they nro compoBOd of tho fin est powdered Willow charcoal, and other harmless antlsoptlcs In tablet form or rather In tho form of larg-3 pleasant tnstlng lozenges, tho char coal bolng mixed with honoy.
