English Farmers In America.

Mr.. Burt, member of the British Parlia-
ment, spent much Of last summer in this
country, and In an interesting letter writes
on the prairies of Illinois and in the neigh
borhood Of Kingston, Canada, met several
people who were formerly labOrers In Eng
land and in the north part OF Ireland, who
are now the owners OF the farms they till.
They seem to be doing well. | spent few
days in Illinois with two brothers who went
from the north of England some thirty years
ago. They took nothing with them bnt a
stout heart and a pair of ready, willing
hands. They have now farms of their own.
in one case OF one hundred acres and In the
other of eighty acrss. They have erected
good houses, stables, barns, and the usual
out-buildings connected with a well-equip-
ped farm. Surrounding their hOmesteads
are orchards in which they grow many
kinds Of fruit. Their land Is well cultivat-
ed and well stocked with fine animals.
Nearly everything they require is produced
by themselves; In short, they are indepen-
dent as far as anybody on earth can be inde-
pendent. They still work hard, but work
for themselves, and were the happiest peo-
pie met in my travels. There was quiet
dignity, u self-possession, an absence of
haste and worry In the life Of these sturdy
farmers which afforded a pleasant contrast
to much that saw in other parts of Amer

How to Mend Fingers,

II child is so unfortunate as to chop of
one OF his fingers with a meat ak, 1t does
not follow that he is to remain mutilated for
life. DR.. Fave, of Finistere, was called to
attend one whose first finger was hanging
by a small piece of skin. Not feeling will
ing to do surgical work at night he put the
finger in place aud braced 1t with a couple
of corset bones. Next day the finger was
doing so well that he did not disturb 1t. In
four days there was evidence Of union; in
ten days the child could move the finger
and in a month he was completely cured.
No stitches were used, DIR. Fave thinks
that there Is too much hasty surgery, and
the editor of the Journal dc Medicine. In
agreement with him, says that with modern
surgical dressings, fingers may often be
saved, even when completely severed.

Artistic Changes,

Apropos of wood engraving il is interesting
to note how thoroughly that of the magazines
has come down to hardpan basis of com
mon sense. The absurd straining for novelty
which made their pages year ago a species
OF incoherent pictorial puzzle, has given
place to sensiblework. The artists who used
to do their best to make a drawing look as
little like drawing as they could, have now
got back to serious labor. However, the
transcendental rage in engraving did one
thing; 1t demonstrated what can be done

Electricity as n Motor.
INa.r York Sun


The interest aroused BY the trial the other
day of the Cleveland Electric Street Rail.
road, the first put into operation for city
passenger travel in America, is natural, and
the degree OF success claimed for IL Is not
surprising Nearly year ago electric cars
were moved through the crowded thorough
fares OF Paris by the Power Storage Com
pany of that city at the rate OF nine miles an
hour on level, and of more than five on an
ascent. distance of thirty miles was ac-
route to another in the French
capital, often across several yards
of trbckless ground, and without
accident or difficulty Of any kind. The loco
motion was effected by Faure- -Sellon-Volk-
mar accumulators, fixed under the seats.
and connected with Siemens machine be-
meath the floor. Last November we had the
less successful preliminary trials of the Daft
motor on Saratoga railroad.
The electric railway in Vienna dates back
to the electric exhibition there, when q mile
in three minutes was regularly made by the
train. At Berlin the high.level railway was
at the same time operated by electricity. The
small electric railway a. portrush derived ,n
boring waterfall; while the invention Of
Desprez for transporting electrical force to
great distances has been applied to a water
fall near Grenoble, which has worked, to the
extent of seven-horse power, printing
press, a sand mill and other machinery.
An electrical omnibus also has been tried
with success in Paris, during the busiest
hours of the day, and the heavy vehicle was
handled and turned with facility. In some
OF the coal mines OF Saxony electricity has
for many months been employed, not only
to draw trains Of coal, but also to work a
ventilating fan. Even a thermo-eleetric
stove has been invented, as have also
electric lights that can be used on railway
cars, In spite of the vibrations and frequent
shocks to which trains are exposed.
On the water electricity as motor has
made no less rapid progress than on land
Last summer an electric boat was plying on
the Danube canal, taking thirty or more
passengers six miles an hour against the
strong current and eighteen miles an hour
with the steam. Two years ago a launch pro-
PEELED by electricity was shown on the
Thames, and the following year boat of
that character, forty feet long, attained
speed of eight miles per hour on the meas
ured mile-this boat being the one, we be-
lieve, already spoken of as being used ON
the Danube It's trips were accomplished,
of course, without smoke or heat or smell
of oil, and also without noise of engine or
vibration. As for the application OF elec
tricity to submarine torpedoes, II Is now the
subject of much study, attended with some
success. Electric small arms have already
been invented, and one such weapon was
operated not long ago by Col. Fosbery At
London, before an assembly OF army officers
and others, by means of a small aeeumulat
or secreted under his waistcoat The gun
was the invention of Pieper, of Liege, who
has fired more than 100 rounds with II in two
minutes. We may yet see electricity revOlu
tionizing the manufacture Of small arms.
