Few persons have any idea Of ia
speed Of an elevator nozdinarr guess
wouldn't probably como within halt :
mile q minute Of being right. Some
elevators run as slowly as eighty feet a
minute. You always ask the conductor
about elevators of this kind, and he tells
you apologetically that the old thing is
worn out, and that they're soon going to
get in new one that will take the cake.
The average speed of elevators is about
225 feet a minute This includes or.
binary stoppages. The elevators in the
Equitable Building have a run of I3j
feet from basement TO top of building.
and it takes twenty seconds to make
that run without stops. In a day of
nine hours these elevators run over ten
miles. The elevators in the Western
Union Telegraph Building, and in Al
drich Court are exceed ngly lively. They
have developed a speed of 500 feet a
minute. That is going pretty fast. A
person with a weak stomach would be
unwise to ride down in an elevator max
ing that speed. 1t would upset his cal
culation.-Ne0 York Press.

The AntipyriR Habit

The new coal-tar product antipyrin
has already started a vice of its own.
This singular compound was discovered
by German chemist, and on account of
its remarkable qualities IS now used the
world over. 1t has the power of reduc-
ing the temperature of the body by sew
eral degrees, and so is of vast utility in
treating fevers and feverish stages of
many diseases. 1t does its work bv de-
pressing the action of the heart, and
generally when employed by physicians
it is accompanied with digitalis to
neutralize its influence in the latter re-
gard. Women use it partly because If
makes the complexion beautifully clear
and pale, by keeping the blood away
from the surface of the body. The
habit, like all Others, grows upon the
person who practices it. 1t does harm.
however, from the first. With women
who are weak it increases their weak
ness; with those having predisposition
toward heart disease of any sort, 1t in
C. eases the tendency to terrible ex-
tent. Besides these results antipyrin
exerts a peculiar influence upon The
blood, which is not yet thoroughly
understood by the faculty. 1t seems to
undergo some decompos ton or break
ng down when absorbed by the system,
developing unknown compounds, which
either attack the blood itself or else
powerfully influence the nerves and
anglia which control the vital func- \
ions.-Neio York Letter.
