Electrical Fire ENGINES.

About the most recent invention for the
application Of electricity is Professor Whee-
ler's electrical fire engine 1t is inteded TO be
worked by the current of any of the over
head electric light wires. The principal
difference in the invention to the ordinary
steam fire engine is that the power is obtained
from a motor instead of the steam chest.
Each of the new engines will carry q reel
of some 500 feet Of insulated fine copper
wires, bound together cable fashin, so as to
equal in strength No. wire for the trans
mission of the current As by this method
the engine can be placed anywhere, as the
wires overhead can be tapped anywhere, the
engine will be placed nearer the fire than
by the old method. The powerful current Of
an arc light wire will not be required, that
of the ordinary incandescent circuit being of
sufficient potential to run the motor.
The advantages claimed for this new
method are many. In the first place it is
much lighter, and much greater speed can
therefore be attained. Again, owing to the
construction, 1t can be built for about one
third of the cost of an ordinary steam fire
engine. A very important consideration il
that, like all motors, it starts up Immediately
under full speed. 1t is safer and easier Of
control 1t is noiseless, and is much more
economical That this last point is true is
perfectly evident The expense for fuel for
the present engine in use is considerable
By tapping the wires overhead, fuel is pro-
vided gratis. The above advantages are
claimed by the inventor, and many Of them
seem important, and, if the claims can be
substantiated, the invention will soon be in
universal use.-New York Commercial Bull

A Strange Plant.

This splendid Euphorbia is known in Mex
leo as ''the flower of the nativity" 1t is used
as a remedy in pulmonary affections. have
never seen anything like the luxuriance of its
growth around Cuernavaca, the city where
Macmillan had his summer residence. A
great many of the euphorbaceous plants, if
not all, are called palo de leche, and their
uses are diverse The Indians of the coast
use it for fishing, simply throwing the leaves
into the water, when the fish, stupefed, rise
to the surface The principal use among
these people, however, is far less innocent
one-destroying life instead of contributing
to its support The thick, acrid, milky juice
or sap is extremely poisonous. If thrown
upon fire it gives out fumes which produce
an agonizing headache and nausea. Taken
internally, it is a deadly poison, which
causes, according to the way it is prepared
and administered, death or insanity. 1t is
popularity supposed that the madness of the
ill fated Empress Carlotta Twas caused by
palo de leche. Mexicans often deny this
statement, but they admit and fear its deadly
power in others respects. Some few years
ago governor of the state of Vera CRUZ
forget his name at this moment-was given a
dose of this brebaje, as it is called, in his
coffee, and all the skill of his physicians
failed to arrest the course Of the poison, from
the results of which he died in terrible agony.
1t is believed also that it was given to Gen.
Luis Mier y Teran, the patriotic governor of
Oaxaca, who suffered a terrible and mys
terious Illness with subsequent insanity, SO
that he had to be removed from the charge
of government and taken to Europe.
1t is strongly aSseverated that the Indians
can so prepare the poison as to regulate the
period of time IN which it will prove fatal.
Foreign chemists with whom | have talked
scott at this idea, but it does not seem so
utterly improbable, in view of the exactness
with which can be determined the operation
of various germs and microbes. The fact re-
mains that palo de leche is most powerful
and deadly substance, and many are the
tragedies enacted through its fundamentally

chemists and doctors is also weakened in
force by their vehement denunciations of the
practice of the Indians, whose remedies,
nevertheless, often accomplish results which

the treatment and repeated operations by
regularly appointed practitioners had proved
totally inetficacious, the simple herbal RENE

pins when set up, as described above, are
called a frame. In ten pins there are three
frames, and the player is allowed three balls
at each frame. 1t is possible for him TO
make ninety, but twenty seven is the general
average. If a man knocks all of them down
at one roll they are reset, and he has three
rolls. If he knocks but a part of them he
rolls at the pins remaining. A large ball
rolled down the alley makes loud, rumbling
noise.

HE IGNORED QUARANTINE.

And said he would like to say o word
Regarding the news that had been beard

For there's life and death at stake"
What the new arrival you do not knowi
Then fine quarantine you make,
For one ignored your legal frown
And boldly came Into this town.
"He loudly strongly asserts his rights;
Nor will be tell bis name;
He passed your bounds and broke your laws
And he tells not whence he came
But list the worst | have not told,
His face and hands are yellow as gold"
With faces pale and with quivering limbs,
But with angry quick assent,
Each quarantine man his shotgun seized
And rushed with mad intent

CONNECTION that in slavery was not spec1aITy
considered. 1t is noticeable, too, that mulattc
women are taking black husbands, or mulatts
men dark wives The black race is clearly
growing blacker.
There is another segregating process going
on of which Senator ingalls, takes no account
The white race is rolling back from the coast
plantations to the highlands and leaving the
negroes in possession. This Is not limited to
the coast, but wherever the negroes largely
predominant the whites are retiring. The
movement of separation is casual and doubt
less imperceptible to both races. But it is
quietly going on. The English speaking
race everywhere rules or retireS. In ra-
spouse to this principle the movement Of the
whites from the coastal plains to other lati-
tudes is slowly but surely progressing. 1t
does not affect the cities on the coast. There
the whites are gathered and they will pro-
badly gain from the incoming of the whites
from the surrounding country. But in few
years the close student will see the black and
white streaks on the map of the south deepen
ing-the black spots growing blacker, the
white spots winter
There are those who hold that an even
larger movement is taking place-that of the
gathering of the whites in the cities, and the
slow-very slow-surrender of the farms to
the negroes. We are not prepared to say
that this is true. But we have always held
that each race in the south, when left free to
follow it's instincts, revolved about its own
center, and that the resultant motion was
centripetal rather than centrifugal This
principle may be relied on, and in the long
future it may solve our racial problem

Life Saving in England.

century ago there was a popular preju-
jice against interfering with the condition of
persons who had lost consciousness in the
water and it was to combat this folly that
DR.. Halves, the founder of the Royal Humane
society of England, began to offer rewards to
those who would rescue the bodies of drowned
persons between London and Westminster
bridges, in order that experiments might be
made in reSuscitating them.
At first, the project was merely ridiculed,
but as. it resulted in bringing to life large
number of inanimate persons, public SYM
patty soon turned in that direction. soci-
ETY. of thirty-two persons was formed, and
still continues to flourish.
Its work is every year increasing. During
the last twelve months, 533 persons were re-
warded for making attempts to save life and
$40 persons were actually rescued from death.
The society ignores all risk of death, except
in cases Of drowning, or suffocation from the
foul gases of mines, wells or sewers AL.
though lives are every day risked in heroic
deeds of other sorts, it has been found best to
restrict its action to its original scope
Seven kinds of rewards are offered. The
most common is a testimonial, inscribed on
vellum or parchment. Among the most dis
tingUished rewards are silver medals, Of
which six were last year given, and the high

ance of a very accomplished and clever fam
ily.
1.-THE grand old marshal of the parade
Skinned up an old oak that stood near the
fence, made a sign of caution to the others,
crawled out on a big limb and waited for
Mrs. Bruin, who was following him, after
boxing the ears Of both cubs to make them
keep quiet.
Then saw what hadn't noticed before.
The limb came well out over my pig pen. The
first old bear of this sly storming company
advanced along the limb, which gradually
bent under his weight until the tips of the
bough touched the ground in one of the pens.
His partner went out along the limb in the
same way, and when he dropped to the
ground her weight kept the limb bent
There was the deuce to pay in the pig pen
by this time. The old sow was charging
around in great CONSERVATION, and the little
pigs were skipping about and keeping close
to her most of the time. Bruin was on the
ground sizing up the lay out, and when the
old SOW made lunge at him as though to rip
him, he gave her a comical look, as much as
to say: oh, what are you giving usr swiped
her one on the side of the jaw and laid her
out.
"Then he grabbed the latest pig of the lot,
climbed upon the limb, which his side part
ner was holding down for him and slowly
wriggled up toward the trunk Of the tree,
the she bear recedlng as he advanced.
THAT performance just beat all my going

tree when | recovered from my astQnishment

with my rifle into the tree. didn't try to
hit the bear, because | rather admired the
cleverness of the old thief, and didn't want
to burst up such an interesting family.
well, sir, there was great tumbling and
ruStling in the tree, the pig dropped squeal-
ing to the ground, and down scrambled the
two bears stern foremost, looking good deal
discounted. AS | blazed away few more
times | made a little speech to the bears:
Look here said |, IN let you off this time,
but you come monkeying around my pig pen
again and you'll get hurt sure
THE little bears had scampered away, and
the she bear hurried after them as soon as
she touched the ground. The big fellow
cooked his head on one side, and think he
winked at me as he went away.

with no better success.

Oil on the Water,

The new life float which is supplied with a
reservoir of oil, in order to support bodies in
the water, is based on the recent cases of sue
cessful experience with oil in overcoming the
power of waves, and thus saving life and
property from destruction. The reservoir in
this case is provided with an outlet, by means
of which the oil may escape automatically,
no matter on which side the float, or buoy,
may be turned when thrown into the water,
or to which it may be impelled by the waves
when once in the water. Thus, by means of
the escaping oil, the surrounding water is ex-
pected to become sufficiently calm to enable
the float to be discovered at a farther dis
lance than it otherwise could be, and calm
space secured around the float for the preser-
walton Of hfe.-Boston Transcript.
