People Who Steal Edison's Electricity
Edison has encountered a novel form
of theft in conducting his electric ight
business in New York. Il was found
that numerous unprincipled persons had
svailed themselves of the opportunity te
steal electricity, and used it for operat
ing motors and for induction coils. Ths
method Of filching the electricity was BY
boring through the iron pipe surround
ing the insulating compound, and ther
further into one Of the copper leads; q
set screw fixed in the orifice formed one
connection the earth the other. OF
course this connection was made beyond
the electric meter.
1t was hardly worth while to maintain
the continued espionage necessary to de-
tect and punish these pilferers, but the
superintendent of the station, Mr.. Cham
berlain, coupled In extra dynamos and
threw as great an increase of current
over the system as the safety catches
would permit, at various times for about
one second; while this current was pass
ing, the incandescence lamps would give
an unwonted glow, and every induction
coil and motor surreptitiously attached
TO the system would receive an extra cur
rent designed to burn It. In this man.
ner the system is occasionally cleared of
al trespassers. Budget. u"Ii1'

OUR contemporary, the Daily Inter
Mountain, In its issue of the 23rd in
slant, gives its readers q good likeness
Of our chief justice. Decius s. Wade,
together with an extended and inter-
esting account of his services since he
has been resident of this territory,
some fifteen years. From this account
it appears that Judge Wade is from
Ohio, from which state number of
persons have been appointed to public
places. and that he is so years Of age;
that the Judge tried twice to get into
war during the rebellion but failed to
reach the field of carnage, but through
no fault of his; that in 1869 he became
state senator in Ohio; that his opinions
have been sustained in the upper
courts; that he has sent twelve male
factors to the gallows and over five
hundred to the penitentiary; that the
first man legally hanged in this terri
tory received his sentence from Judge
Wade; that his five volumes of reports
are authority often quoted and relied
upon; that Judge Wade il scholar
and q novelist and q contributor to law
magazines, and that he has been on
the bench twenty years. To the fore
going We can only add our hope that
when In the mutations of political ex-
istence Judge Wade steps down from
she bench that his successor shall he

THE SHADY SIDE OF PARIS.

ness . Humsas. IFS Comforts Few.
Sunny France is not often sunny. Rain
falls there, on the average, one-third Of
all the days in the year. And the ma
tiyes are particularly sensitive to
weather. A shower or furry of snow
will empty the boulevards. A cloudy
sky or a raw wind will metamorphose the
city, turning it from radiance and gayety
to gloom and dizziness. Its Wanted fas-
cination depends ON the barometer and
thermometer. Its climate will not com.
pare with that of New York.
1t is very healthful, too, we are perpet.
ually told. But il is not, nor is there
any reason why it should be. Amy mum.
Der of diseases prevail there, particularly
consumption, rheumatism, neuralgia,
fevers, every kind of affection of the
liver kidneys, and bladder, all ascribable
to local causes. Consumption Stays
thousands annually, and the sufferers
from rheumatism and neuralgia may not
be enumerated. These, partially due to
climate, are also engendered by the pow.
erty or parsimony of the people. They
are willing to spend for show but not
for comfort. E.
they who might afford them go without,
and they pay the penalty in disordered
lungs, muscles, and nerves. Fevers,
especially typhoid, come from bad air,
lack of ventilation, want of drainage.
Many of the best streets reek with odors;
most of the apartments ache for oxygen.
The Partisan is natural enemy of fresh
air and cold water; he fears the one and
avoids the other. A complete bath is Q
solemnity, an ordeal he seldom braves.
The city has magnificent sewers, hut
they seem to be kept for exhibition; they
are of small benefit to the close, noxiout
dwellings, wheretyphus turks to seize its
predestined victims. Paris is the home
of typhoid fever; few persons stay there
any length of time without contracting
it. The water of the city, coming from
the Seine, is very unwholesome on &C
count of its limestone properties, which
produce any number of serious disorders,
mostly of nephritic character, and from
which Parisians are great sufferers. For
this reasons cheap wine-vin ordinaire-
is almost universally drank; but it does
not serve, because the wine usually con.
tains large proportion of water. The
French capital does not deserve its rep
utation for healthfulness. Almost the
only disease not common there is dys.
pepsia, which French cooking claims par.

The French live out of doors. They
have few of the home comforts we de.
mand; nor would they have them, foi
they cost money and make no outsid
show. The cooking. is exceptionally
good, of course, but not equal to its rep
utation. True, no one knows what
he is eating, particularly at the cheaper
restaurants; but, if he likes it, perhaps
he should not be too curious. Good food,
nicely prepared, is nearly as dear as al
home, and often not better than OURS

The Intelligence of the elephant.

The author of Two Years in the
Jungle Mr.. Hornaday, defends the ele.
plant from the charge that its sagacity
is of very mediocre description, and its
reasoning faculties are far below those OF
the dog and possibly other animals. He
declares it to be the most intelligent OF
all animals.
"A horse he remarks, switch will
promptly back at the word of command,
or dog that will back or stand on its
hind legs when told to do so, is consid.
cred quite accomplished; but in India
any well-trained elephant, at a word or
touch from his driver. who sits astride
his neck, will 'hand-up,' 'kneel,' speak,
(trumpet), 'salaam' salute with his
trunk, stop, back, lie down, pull down
an obstructing branch, gather fodder
and 'hand-up' to his attendant, turn OF
lift log, or drag it by taking its drag
rope between his teeth. He will also
protect his attendants or attack a COM
mon enemy with fury. Con-
trast with this the performances of our
most intelligent breed of dogs, the
pointer. Even when young and trained
under the most favorable circumstances,
they are at best but capable Of being
taught a few things, as to go on to
charge, to go in given direction, and
etrieve.'-Arkansaw Traveller.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1886-02-04

The most recent estimate that has
been made by the French engineers in
regard to the proposed African inland
sea is that the undertaking could be con-
summated in the maximum period of five
years, at cost of about $50, 600, 900, it
being sufficient to cut, in the alluvial
part of the region travcrscd, a canal aver
aging some so to 100 feet in width, which
would be further widcncd by the action
of the current. 1t appears that the estu-
ary of Owed Mellah, which is to be the
beginning of the canal leading to the
place to be inundated, offers a port, COW
cred at high water, OF adequate breadth,
which might easily be excavated, and
would form port sheltered bv nature
from all the winds from northeast to
south, passing by the west; the winds
from northeast to south, passing by the
east, would not be dangerous to tht
breakwaters. The navigation of tho
canal it is also said, will offer no diff
Guilty, as the canal would form almost ;
straight line. The proposed inland sef
would be fifteen times as large as thu
Lake of Geneva.

CofTce md Indigestion,

Observing physicians learned long ago
that coffee is hindrance to digestion !;
but scientific evidence was needed and
so NJ. Lavid, according to La Medecin
Practieian, has been making experiments
on dogs to determine the exact fact with
the following results:
"To dog which has eaten 21O
grammes of meat he administered 80
grammes of coffee and Is grammes of
water. After three hours he killed the
dog, and found the mucous membrane of
the stomach pale, discolored, and pro-
foundly anamic. The vessels of the in
ternal superfcies, like those of the peri
phery, were contracted; 145 grammes of
the meat remained undigested; the coffee
then had retarded the stomach digest
ion."
If coffee will thus delay the digestion
of dog, notably strong, especially in
tho digestion of meat, who will attempt
to dispute that it must be equally injur.
! ious to human stomachsl 1t is a we'll
recognized fact that dyspeptics are ex'
cccdingly common in all countries where
tea and coffee are frequently used, as in
this country, England and Holland. Nc

many tea and coffee topers will exercise

The Bright Side.

There was never a night so dark that
some would not speak of the dawn, and
never day so bright that some would
not think of the midnight. 1t is well
that the enthusiast be balanced by the
conservative, perhaps, on the principle
that little shade improves the tone of
almost any picture. 1t is, however, a
thankless mission that the grumbler en-
tiers upon, and his is a work that shadows
his own mind and heart more than that
of any other. Most of us see enough of
the hard side of life, hear enough of the
woe and WEAKNESS, adversely and ami
mostly, disappointment and disaster in
life, without being formally reminded
thereof. The newspaper finds more
readers when it announces ships wreck
than when it chronicles launch. Its
column of obituaries is moro sought for
than its wedding announcements. A
firms failure is read by hundred per-
SOnS W OHc VIII WOultl Icdtt Ol I'LL 'Opcu-
ing; and man who steals $1,000 re-
ccivcs more newspaper notoriety than
thousand men who should deposit $780,
600 each. 1t is the natural elasticity of
the mind and heart that keeps the aver
age man hopeful while the sad and evil
things of life are running before his eyes
or are being poured into his ears. There
should be systematic effort on the part
of all people to see the bright side, speak
of the hopeful things. When majority
of business men talk the dark side of
finance there is panic; when majority
of laboring men see the dark side of life
there is a Nihiistic tendency. There is
too much danger in every direction for
any encouragement of the already too
active tendency to sec the evil in bust
ness and society. Let us see the bright
side and call other peoples attention to
it.-BostoH Trdreler.

In cutting through gorge in the Blue

In cutting through a gorge in the Blue
Ridge mountains, near Buncombc county,
North Carolina, recently, party of con-
victs, in charge of Capt. W. c. Troy, at
work on railroad, found an ancient
hermitage dug out Of the side of the
mountain, in a secluded place. 1t was a
rude hut, constructed with a few poles
and boards, with one window with a
single pane, SxG, to admit the light The
only occupants were an old hermit, who
has lived there more than fifty years, a
large yellow dog, a big cat, and a rae
coon. The appearances were those of a
happy family. In conversation with the
old man Capt. Troy found him very ig-
norant He never had seen steam
engine or a railroad, and was greatly
disturbed because the laborers intcrfered
with his home. His bed-clothes were
large bearskins sc we'd together, with Q
beautiful buck hide as his facny spread tc
use on big occasions. The brackets or
the walls were of immense deer horns, and
the gun rack over the door was of the
same material. The old fellow is a grea
singer, and amused the captain greatl.
with vocal music.
