HEATING STREET CARS.
Brooklyn Company Seems to
Have Solved the Problem.

In order to test the question the Brook
lyn City Company, at the outset, placed
stoves in the cars making the longest trips
those running to east New York. These
cars carried large proportion of laborers
and class with whom the more refined
element did not choose to ride. To ac-
commodate the latter, living between the
ferry and Bedford avenue, about half
way to east New York, a separate line
has been established, and Brooklyn
ties would almost invariably wait for
these cars rather than go over the
same track as far as Bedford
avenue in the cars carrying the
more miscellaneous and untidy through
passengers for east New York. The
stoves were first placed in the east New
York cars, as it was felt that they would
there more completely than elsewhere
test their utility and prove the sincerity
of the public clamor. A change was noted
at once. Those who never before
would ride in east New York cars now
used them regularly. Traffic on the
short-line cars in winters fell off greatly,
and the former despised east New York
ers were almost unable to meet the de-
mands upon them. The Brooklyn City
company at once saw that warm cars was
really wanted and appreciated, and the
fact was emphasized by the patrons of
their other routes when it was discovered
that one district alone was thus favored.
From that time to the present Brooklyn
ties who travel by these routes have had
warm cars.
The cars are heated by means of a sheet
iron cylinder stove set in the centre of
the car. 1t occupies the space OF one pas
senger. The outside of the boxing sur
rounding the stove is square, while inside
its curve corresponds with the side and
rear OF the stove, and is lined with zinc,
a space of two or three inches being left
between the stove and the zinc. This
makes the boxing (Which is of black wal
nut and very tastiIy fnished) hollow,
there being three or four inch holes bored
in the top piece to allow heated air to es-
cape. By thus doubling the partitions at
the sides and leaving small air space
the seats near the stove are not rendered
uncomfortable, as they might otherwise
become when the dampers are open.
There is generally scramble for these
seats at the starting station at the ferry,
and long distance passengers like to make
themselves comfortable there.
Nut coal (anthracite) is used. 1t costs
the Brooklyn City Company $40 per ton
at the dock. For kindling they use re-
fuse oak which has undergone treatment
for the purpose of extracting acid. This
wood has charred appearance, is not
very smoky, and requires less than other
kindling to ignite a coal fire. This wood
costs 80 cents bag, containing about two
and a half bushels. The cars, 400 in
number, being in constant use, are run
about thirteen and a half hours day,
and it is estimated that the cost of heat
ing, reckoning coal and kindling, is 12%
cents per car per day. Conductors make
and attend to the fires, which is no
trouble, and they cheerfully do it for the
comfort they derive in being able to warm
themselves frequently. = Cor. Chicago

have been Judge Zane's right
or duty to have purged them from
the Jury than of any other man.
He would have been assuming to dis
charge their duties as they assumed to
discharge his. Supposing these men had
undertaken to bring indictments in the
particular cases before the grand jury,
for polygamy, alleging for such action
that it was their province to construe the
law, and not the Courts, would the
Court have been powerless to prevent
such proceeding and been COM
PEELED to try the men SO indicted
although the whole of the evil
dence showed that the actual marriage
took place twenty years ago and that the
persons sought to be indicted were merely
living in the polygamous relationship To-
day? Supposing there were no grand
jury to indict, but that trials in criminal
cases were had on informations, would
it be the right of the Prosecuting Attorney
to say what was and what was not
the law rather than the Courts
and to heed or to disregard the Courts
instructions az he saw fit? Certainly not,
and on the supposition concerning the
bringing of an indictment for polygamy,
would the people and a portion of the
press of the city be crying out for the
sacredness of the right of the grand jury
to construe the law? Scarcely, and it
should be remembered by all that if the
grand jury have the right to construe the
law one way they also have the right to
construe it another.

have been discovered and are found to
be antagOnistiG to our legal system.
These tribunals are formed by the several
Chinese companies or guilds and ate re-
cognized as legitimate authorities by the
Chinese population. They levy taxes,
command masses of men, intimidate in.

the Chinese mind, and exists because the

General Grant in Wisconsin.

Soon after General Grant became
clerk in his fathers store in Galena, in
1859, he was sent to Prairie du Chen to
look after stock of goods which had
largely been sold on credit They were
kept in the large and Anticipated stone
building for 50 many years occupied by
J. Famechon. 1t seems that Grants
customer at the Prairie had given q
fraudulent bill of sale for the goods to
third party for the purpose of defrauding
the Grants; and when the general ar
rived in the town to investigate the mat
ter, he took counsel of the Hon. o. B.
Thomas, who was elected to Congress
last fall, and after examining the records
in the town clerks Office, Thomas was
convinced that the sale was fraudulent
one, and had writ of replevin issued at
once to get possession of the goods.
The sheriff was not in town that day,
and the writ was given to his deputy,
"Boss" Brunson, grandson of the ven
cradle Alfred Brunson, d. d. BOSS"
was daring, burly young fellow by ma
ture, but his daring failed him in this case.
Mr.. Thomas Grant, and Brunson, armed
to the building containing the goods, and
found the door locked. The pretended
owner had heard that one of the Grants
was in town, and supposIng he would
attempt to seize the stock, he planted
himself inside, bolted the door, and
armed himself with a shot gun. When
the party reached the building they were
refused admittance, of course, with 6
threat from the man inside that il they
entered some one would be killed. Thi:
threat rather staggered Boss" who
was inclined to believe that the mar
meant what he said. Mr.. Thomas trieC
to convince the young deputy that i
was his duty to enter the store even a
the expense of breaking down the door
but "Bossn could not see it in thai
light.
Grant had watched the proceeding
thus far quietly, without saying word
but becoming impatient, he said tt
"Boss," "Mr. Deputy, if you are aGraiC
to go into the building yourself, VIII.
don't you deputize some one else to g.
in for you2" "Well," answered "Boss,
sharply, who felt keenly touched to hav
his courage doubted, Il will deputiz
you" Grant was quite stout in thOs
days, and obeying the command of tn
officer, he stepped back from the stor
door some ten or twelve feet, and com
ing up to it with rush, he planted hi
right foot near the lock, and the doc
opened with a crash. Grant entered i
an instant, seized the man who had tn
gun, and ordered him to go to work t
help take down and box the goods, anc
in short time they were removed t
Galena. This is ali there is about Geuers

The Age of Horses.

A horses life, with moderate care and
good usage, is protracted to twenty five,
thirty-flve and forty years. A gentle
man at Dulwich, near London, had three
monuments of three horses who severally
died in his possession at the ages of
thirty-tive, thirty seven, and thrty-nine
years. The oldest, it is to be remarked,
was in carriage the very day he died,
strong and vigorous, but he was carried
off in a few hours by spasmodic collie,
to which he was subject. At Gresham,
in Buckinghamshire, there was horse
thirty-six years old, which exhibited no
symptoms of debility nor any external
signs of age, except being nearly GOV.
cred with warts. 1t was remarked with
regard to this four-footed Nestor that
when an unusually hard days work was
required he was chosen as never failing
in what was expected of him. A horse
named Wonder, formerly belonging to
the riding school at Woolwich, may be
quoted as living to forty years. Mr..
Culley, in his observations on Live
Stock" mentions one he knew which
lived to forty-seven years, having dur.
ing all that time a ball in his neck re.
ceived in the battle of Preston Pans, in
the rebellion of 1715, which was ex,
tracted at his death in 1853; thus judg
ing him to be four years old at the time
he received the wound land it was prob
able he was more), he must at his death
have been forty seven. But even these
venerabes were mere babies to the barge
horse of the Mersey and Irwell naviga
ton, which was well known to have beer
in his sixty year when he died.

The elephant Albert, of the Bar
mum show, who was shot because he had
killed his keeper, was given to the
Smithsonian Institute by Mr.. Barnum,
and two of the institute staff were sent
to dissect him. The head and trunk
were first removed, and then the hide
was taken off in two pieces, being split
on the back and belly. The hide was in
many places an inch and a quarter thick,
and the work required nearly three
hours. The skeleton was then dissected,
and every bone saved intact. The firing
party that executed Albert consisted OF
twenty nine men, twelve of whom fired
at the heart and seventeen at the head.
During the autopsy, so to speak, six
bullets were found in the heart, and they
had all been fattened. In the evening
those of epicurean tastes dined on ele-
plant steak, and it is reported that many
who did not know what they were eat
ing pronounced the steak unusually fine
in flavor, but bit tough.

Lewis Appleton is the author of re-
Gently published article on the cost Of
governing Europe. The information,
which he gives in tabulated form, re-
veals the astounding fact that the total
annual expenditure in Europe on its
armies and navies amounts to the aston
ishing large sum of $917, 500, $50. The
largest annual expenditure is by Russia,
the amount being $3.50, 512, 500. France
comes next, with $168, 653, 915, and for
the same purpose there are expended by
Great Britain and Ireland, $l55, 603, 755
"a good third. Germany, considering
the magnitude of the army which that
nation has to support, looks very small.
The expenditure of the German Empire
amounts to $113, 1913, 745. Austria, i'll
Guiding Hungary, spends on its armies
and navies s57, O67, 975. Italy spends a
little over $50, 900, 900. The remainder
are much smaller, being Spain, $31, $50,
900; Turkey, $27, 800, 600, and Holland,

diture on the armies and navies of all
these countries be, the amount required
for the payment of the interest on the

States was that which half filed Feather
lake, northern California, in or about
the year 1850 This locality has lately

sheet poured out was over 100 feet, and
covers space about one by three and
one-half miles in extent, in the centre
of which cinder cone 600 feet high
covers the rent The lava sheet is rough
and jagged in the extreme, he says, but
shows as yet no signs of weathering.
