your attention to the sanitary condition
| OF the officers quarters at police gtation.
Located as they are, directly over the
cells, without proper ventilation, with
the number of prisoners general y COR
lined therein, the foulneBs Of the air
renders IL impossible for the men to
spend any OF their leisure time about

seldom have an extra officer about the
station house from q to 10 p. m, the

clear of vermin, and the officers, hav-
Ing DO other place to keep their clothes,
are subject to great annoyance Id this

As all well regulated station houses
have their bath rooms and Rymna-
siums, l see no reason why our men
should be deprived of these almost ab-
solute necessities, when they can be
procured at very moderate cost TO the
city. Rooms can be provided that will
make pleasant quarters for the men,
and secure for the city the extra service

The reckoning of percentages, like the
minus sign in algebra is constant STUN
bling block to the novice. Even expert
enced newspaper writers often become
muddled when they attempt to speak of it.
The ascending scale is easy enough. Five
added to 20 is gain of 25 per cent given
any sum of figures the doubling of it is an
advance 100 per cent. But the moment the
change is decreasing calculation the mex
perienced mathematician betrays himself,
and even the expert is apt to stumble or go
astray. An advance from 20 to 25 is an in
crease of % per cent; but the reverse of
this, that is, decline from % to 90 is a
decrease of only 20 per cent. There are
many persons, otherwise intelligent, who
cannot see why the reduction of $50 to 100
is not decrease of 100 per cent. if an adj
vance from 90 to 100 is an increase OF 100
per cent The other day an article
which had been purchased for 10.
cents pound was resold at 80 cents
"a profit of 200 per cent; thereupon a
writer in chronicling the sale said that at
the beginning of the recent depression sew
eral invoices OF the same class of goods.
which had cost over 80 cents per pound,
had been finally sold at 10 cents per pound
"a loss of over 100 per cent. OF course.
there cannot be a decrease or loss of over
100 per cent, because that loss wipes out
the whole of the Investment An advance
from 10 to 80 is gain of 200 per cent; but a
decline from 30 to 10 is loss of only 669
per cent. The New York Sun, saws the
journal from which we quote, prides itself
on the exactness and purity of lis style,
and INDUCES in frequent criticisms of its
contemporaries; but in the description of
the recent great orchid sale. it affirms that
some of the higher-priced plants brought
loo per cent. less than had been paid for
them" OF course, if nothing was realized
from them the loss would only be 100 per
cent less than they cost.

TELEGRAPHING FROM MovING Trains
The Phelps induction system of telegraph
ing from moving trains will, undoubtedly.
prove to become very valuable invention,
and new and important factor in securing
greater safety in railroad travelling. The
cost of applying the system is very small.
not exceeding $50 to 800 per mile, accord
ing to the character of the wire used, and
the manner of putting it down. The
cheapest, and generally perfectly practical
way of adjusting the wires is to support
them by insulators upon the ties, about
three inches outside and just below the
surface of the rail. The coil upon the car
which is to take up signals from the line,
will be just outside of the wheels. A more
expensive way is to place the wire in
wooden box for more perfect protection
from accident or breakage, or other inter
ference. Cost, $50 per mile. The induc-
ton can be almost as readily taken up
from wire thus protected, as from naked
wire. The invention has fairly passed
from its experimental stage and is now in
process of practical trial. But the intro
duction of so important an innovation
upon existing methods of operating trains
cannot be accomplished hastily, and it will
probably take time to bring about its gem
eral adoption, even after its entire success
has been fully and practically demon
strated.

EFFECTS OF LIGHTNING ON THE HUMAN
BoDY.-A person struck by lightning does
not know 1.-THE fluid being much quicker
than thought. The nerves which convey
pain are rather slow in their power to con
vey information. Stick pin in the tail of
an elephant and quite perceptible inter-
val occurs before the noble animal gives
his opinion of the man or boy at the end
of the nervous system on trial. Lightning
does its work before the victim knows
anything. Two men were struck while
taking refuge under a tree Both were
carried into the house and laid out for
dead. One of the men revived. and after
weeks of suffering and inirmity, he got
out again and is still living. He said that
he knew no more about having been struck
by lightning than he was conscious of hav-
ing lived before the flood. Ii was all news
to him when told of the fact
