The Lessons Of Unser Fritz Case

The greatest doctors in Europe don't

simple preparations yearly snatch mil

Held only fragments on his head

BOTTLED LIGHTNING.
Some New Uses to Which Storage Batteries ar,
Put-Economical and Powerful.

Some New Uses to Which Storage Batteries are
Put-Economical and Powerful.
Storage batteries, in which electricity is
bottled, so to speak, are destined to fill an
important place in the world in the near
future. A Mail and Express reporter yes
terday visited the Office of company
which controls large number of patents
covering this Invention, aad learned from
the secretary some of the varied uses to
which it may be put. As long ago as last
summer the experiment OF running a
street car with a storage battery was sue
cessfully tried in Philadelphia. The bat
teries were placed beneath the seats of
the car, and they supplied the current to
q dynapo-electric motor geared to the
axle. These batteries consist of series
of cells, in each of which are plunged
twenty-three lead plates, twelve being
united together to form one pole and
eleven to the other. The plates are per-
forated at regular intervals by square
holes which are filed respectively with
i.harge and red lead. The cells for use
upon street cars measure 7x7x9 inches and
weigh about forty pounds. 1t requires
| eighty-fCur of these to run street car
In order to charge the battery the cells
are removed from the car and are then
connected with an electric dynamo. II
| takes about tour hours to fully charge the
| eighty-eour cells. The charging, o:
course. in actual running would go on con
| tinuously, one series of exhausted cells
being replaced on the car by another ser
| les fully charged. On board the car the
cells are automatically connected togeth
er, and the terminal poles run to verti
cal cylindrical switchboard, stationed Oh

the front platform. The switch is so con-
structed as to make twenty-five different
| combinations of the force, so as to exact
ly regulate the expenditure of energy.
Street cars upon which these accumula-
tors are used run at the rate of eight miles
an hour, including stoppages, and will car
~ full-loadcd car from forty to fifty
miles. Not only do the batteries prooel
the car, but they maintain an electric light
system with which the vehicle is ilIumi-
mated, and also ring the signal and warn
ing bells. The storage of electricity has
made the use of electricity possible in
many instances where hitherto it seemed
impracticable, and in others has made
this luxury an economy where before it
was an extravaganza.
To-day many offices and private houses
and towns are lighted, and many vehicles
and motors are drawn by means of the
storage system, while formerly electricity
could not be used at all. For lighting
purpose it is invaluable, particularly for
use on steamers and yachts. A gentle
man in Philadelphia has one Of these
storage batteries arranged on his carriage,
which gives three caDdIe-power light on
each side of his vehicle, which inside is as
light as day

TIL ere are two species of rats IN Paris
black sort which infests garrets and old
houses, and gray kind that is found in
cellars and swarms In all the sewers.
This sewer kind is the most voracious and
dangerous. and its ravages cost the city a
large sum annually. Wherever there is
underground shelter there is large fam
lily of these rats, and they multiply with
astonishing rapidity. Cellars, sewers,
and catacombs are their abodes, they dig
passage ways through thick walls, ander-
mide Foundations and do great deal CT
damage. Many attempts have been
made TO oxterminate them in the sewers,
bat always without success. Poisons of
all kinds, PHOSPHORUS, arsenic, prussic
acid and strychnine, have been set for
them but they wont touch the bait. One
inventor thought he had hit the very
thing when he proposed to fry pieces of
sponge in lard and scatter them about,
under the expectation that the rats would
eat them and that the expansion of the
sponges in their stomachs would prove
fatal. His theory was ali right except on
one point-the rats declined to eat the
| pieces of sponge. As for the traps they

would perhaps answer if it were possible
to set enough to catch all the rats in the
sewers without bankrupting the city in
their purchase.
! The plan which works the best is to
| hunt the pests with dogs trained for rat
| killing. Every now and then gangs OF
men go down into the sewers, and by fol
lowing several conyerging galleries man
age to drive whole armies Of rats TO drive
whole armies of rats towards a single
point, where these dogs ars let loose and
great slaughter follows. The men who
keep these rat dogs are paid one cent fol
every rodent destroyed. Another class
of rat catchers operate on the streets af
ter nightfall, but their aim is to capture
the animal alive, so as to sell it TO the
owners of terrsers. These fellows receive
10 cents dozen for live rats and are per
| mitted to keep the dead bodies, which
have market value of from three to foul
cents, the skins being excellent for kit
gloves, while the bones can be made III
into toothpicks and ear cleaners.

DON'T EAT RAW HAM.
A Pointer for Those WhoLike 1t Rare.

A Pointer for Those Who Like 1t Rare.
family named Taylor, consisting of
seven persons. living seven miles west of
Sidney, Ohio, are all sick from the effects
of trichin@ found in raw and rare cooked
ham. The family is by no means of the
kind that eats raw meat, and the manner
of their acquiring disease, if it may be SO
called, will serve as pointer to others.
They had fine lot of smoked ham, and
one OF the girls, in slicing it for meals,
had the habit of tasting the small raw
pieces which fell from the knife. Others
of tho family soon took up the habit, and
without knowing If, a considerable quanti-
ty of nicely smoked raw ham was daily
disposed of. They all Preferred it rare
done when frying, and in that way they
got well loaded with trichina. At all
events the entire family was taken down.
The meat was examined under q micro
scope and was found to be full of trichi-
rae. The meat was from healthy hogs
ano had been cared for as well az possible.
Some tobacco theories, as strong as the
rapkest pipes of the oldest smokers, are
exploded by the Medical Record, which
contends that the real facts as TO the in
fiuence of tobacco on the health are fairly
well established, and the occasional out
burst of anti-tobacco fanaticism does not
affect received medical opinion. Tobacco
is pernicious to growing children. Used
in moderator, the maiority of healthy
adults can smoke it without harm. 1t
does not in these shorten life or produce
degenerative changes. Nearly one-half
of Prof. Humphreys collection of CEN
tenarians were tobacco-users. It is par
ticularly harmless to those who live out
| doors and engage in physical work. tits
particularly apt to iniure those who live
! indoors. The worst feature about its use
is the difficulty some persons have In
moderation. This is especially true of
| brain-workers, and it Is for this reason
| that physicians never advise the acquire
I ment of the tobacco habit. But among
the great mass Of working people the
use of tobacco is apparently a harmless
one.
