A savant named Henri Roget, hailing
from Lyons, has a new use for electric
lty. He has a patent to apply it as a
substitute for the cat-o'-nine-tails in cor
poral punishment. The culprit having
been undressed is securely strapped to a
steel triangle, which is connected with
one pole of apowerful battery. The other
pole is connected with the whip, which
consists of a number of steel wires COW
cred with sponge. This whip is dipped
in water before the stroke is admins
tered, and wherever the wet wires touch
an electric discharge takes place.
The inventor claims that the chastise-
ment can be made so mild as not to in.
jure a schoolgirl, while on the other
hand, by increasing the power of the
battery, a punishment can be admins
tered beside which the knout would be
mere child's play, and at the same time
no injury is inflicted, the disgusting
spectacle Of.a lacerated back is avoided,
and the culprit, instead of having to be
sent to the hospital to have his wounds
healed, can be put to work in five min
utes after the iogging is over. NJ. Roget
intends %petitioning Gen. Boulanger, the
minister of war, to allow his patent to be
used experimentally on the next soldier
sentenced to the cat. Flogging is not in
existence in the French army, nor is it
likely to be introduced to test the ma
chine. -Chicago News.

said a railroad man, "step into the officn
of superintendent of motive powet

700 locomotives, all in use or in repair
shop, and in a moment he can tell you
not only where every locomotive is, but
the name of the man running it, the
amount and character of repairs put
upon it since its purchase, number of
miles run since it was put into service,
cost of repairs per mile run, etc. He has
a full history of every locomotive. More
than that, he complies every month a
summary of his report which embraces
locomotive performance on the whole
road during the previous month and
scattered over more than 1000 miles of
railway.
This report shows the number of miles
run in the different branches of service
passenger, freight, gravel, wood and
switching; the cost of fuel, of oil and
waste, for enginemen and tiremen, for
.round-house service and for repairs. 1t
shows the cost in detail per mile run and
the number of miles run to ton of coal,

A Bad Case of Forgetfulness.

a newspaper man, "but in this a S the
forgetting was associated with pathetic

Judge LOewenberg on yesterday

railroad robbery case. Jake Cassett,
the principal of the gang, was sent up
in default of a 81 900 bond. and Mary

siderable amount of it belongs at
points on the V. & M. railroad.
One box Of assorted drygoods is ad.

A Valuable Invention.

Messrs. Swafford and Burns, the
painter and the timer, have struck oil
jointly in the invention of a valuable
household article known as the toilet
jar commode," and which when fully
known will be considered an indispen-
sible household necessity. 1t is so
constructed that the rim of the lid or
top rests in a trough or groove. which
when filed with water renders the
commode air tight, preventing the
escape of any unpleasant odor OF
gases. In the center of the top is an
opening with a circular rim running
down into a cup which is attached
under the lid. This cup is filed with
water and when pouring slop water
into the can it passes through this cup
to the inside and all odors are prevent
ed from escaping.

The Last Fight of Lees Army.

Gen. Cadmus Wilcox, of the Confed-
crate army, fought at Gaines Mill and
Frazer's Farm, commanding brigade of
1,S00 men, out of which he lost 1855, the
the heaviest per cent of loss of any brig
ade in Lees army. At Gettysburg it
was Gen. Wilcox who, reporting a dis
aster to his brigade to Lee, received the
memorable reply: "Never mind, general,
this is all my fault, and you young men
must help me out of it," Col. Freeman
tie, a British officer, was near Lee at the
tine, and afterward wrote an account Of
t, in which he refers to Wilcox as a
general wearing a short, round jacket
and a much-battered straw hat" In
August, 1868, Wilcox wa made major
general, and commanded five brigades.
1T the final surrender, Wilcox and
Sheridan were the first general officers
to meet. They were both on the Skin
mish line, and, learning through a flag
of truce that Lee and Grant were in cor
respondence, Sheridan said to Wilcox:
"If this is true we should arrest this affair
at once, and have no more people hurt"
This ended the last fight of Lees army.

h process for obtaining Aluminium.

A committee of the Franklin institute,
Philadelphia, has reported strongly in
favor of a new process for obtaining pure
aluminium from aluminium oxide or
broken corundum, discovered and per-
fected by Eugene H. Coles, of Cleveland.
The committee regards the innovation as
n of the highest importance on &C
count of the chaapness to which it re-
duces this hitherto extremely expensive
metal. 1t is claimed that the new pro-
cess of electric smelling within the next
five or ten years is destined to revolution
ize the brass and bronze trade of the
world, as the Bessemer converter has the

treasurer the final apportionment for
this county of the January distribu-
ton of State school fund amounting
to $3,996.48, of which the city re-
ceived 1888 83. and the county by
paying teachers warrants $2,512.74

for commissions. The total amount
thus far received from the State for
the present year on the school fund is
$6,458.73 of which the city has received
$2,236.41. The balance has been ex-
pended in t~helpayment of warrants for
the county schools, oancelling all of
January issue and about half of those
issued in February. We will get no
more money from the State until about
August when we will get tbs final

The Yuma Sentinel tells of a natural
telephone in the wonderful Pacific coast
country. 1t says that a train of cars is
plainly heard on the line of the Atlantic
& Pacific railroad at The Needles for a
distance of seventy-eight miles to a place
called Cottonwood island. The discharge
of the sunrise gun at Fort Mohave can
be plainly heard at Colorado canyon, a
distance of 100 miles. Sounds can be
understood in the narrows of the grand
canyon of the Colorado for a distance of
eighteen miles. The whistle of a Colo
RADIO steamer can be heard from Ell
Dorado canyon to Weaverville, the head
of navigation, a distance of seventy
eight miles, and by tumbling a rock
over the precipice at Lees Ferry you can
plainly hear the echo down the river at

miles. Tribune.

less to prevent the mob's work Of de-

doors to be locked, and thus prevented
the mob from doing mischief.
