Our city authorities have made no move
yet TO secure that line of street railway. We
suggest that our proposition of a few weeks
since was feasible one, and one that we be-
leye would secure a line without cost to the
city. Such line, while it might not pay the
builders for few years to come, would lend
importance to the town and considerable to
our taxable property. In such matters ex-
perience has long since taught that it is poor
policy to await the organization of a home
company for such enterpriss S, besides, every
dollar of foreign capital is SO much gain.

Scientific Scentilations.

That bar of iron when converted into
an electro magnet by being placed within
helix through which q current of electricity
passes is elongated has been demonstrat-
ed by Mr.. Joule. Prof. S. w. Robinson, of
the Ohio State University, has proved that
the inverse Of this is true; that is to say.
when bars OF iron are distorted by mechan-
ical force electrical currents are induced In
the surrounding coils; but he finds that
most of the other metals besides i1on and
steel give hardly any or very feeble indlca-
tons of electrical induction when they are
subjected to stress.

THE Kansas legislature has at
length passed a prohibitory liquor
law, which is stringent enough TO
crafty the most ardent total abb
stainer. In substance the proyls-
ions are as follows: gr q9
The act forbids the manufacture
or sale of cider and wine, as well as
stronger liquors, except for scien-
tific, mechanical or medicinal pur-
poses. Physicians are put under
oath that they will not prescribe it
| except in cases of actual sickness.
Each prescription must be recorded
on the druggists book, open to in
~spection, as well as the name, resi-
sidence and occupation of the
patient. The purchaser of liquor
for medicinal, mechanical or scienti-
fic purposes must present a written
application, setting forth his name,
occupation and residence, the guam
tity and kind Of liquor wanted, and
for what purpose, sworn to before
proper officers, filed in the Probate
court and kept on record there for
two years. One-of the most notice
able provisions is that which OBJ
ligeS persons who cause the intoXi-
cation of others, either by sale,
barter or gift, to lay for their care
while intoxicated, and So a day be-
sides, which sum can be collected
by civil action. Persons are for
hidden under heavy fines to be con-
nected with clubs where liquor of
any kind is received or kept to be
sold or given away; and finally Sec
ton seven gathers up the fragments
that remain by declaring that the
giving away of intoxicating liquors
or any shifts and devices to evade
the provisions of this act shall be
deemed an unlawful selling within
the provisions of this act.
