BItumen in Texns.

The need of material for serviceable pave
ments is one very widely felt. In many
cities asphaltum brought from the famous
pitch lake of Trinidad, has been used, being
mixed with certain amount: of ealcareous
matter, and heated to such point that it
would harden on cooling. The natural
mixture of limestone and bitumen found in
the deposit of Valde-Travers, of which the
French have so freely and successfully
availed themselves in the construction OF
their pavements, is thus initiated. The re-
suit is a pavement that resists the action OF
air and water for a considerable length of
time. A very important discovery has re-
Gently been made in Texas. In Colonel J. L.
Tait's trip to the southwest of that State, he
picked up a small piece of dark-blue lime
stone which, on examination was found to
be impregnated with bitumen In almost
exactly the same proportion as the Valde-
Travers product, and it was further found
that the quantity available was equal to any
demand that may arise. In addition to
this, many deposits of bituminous sands or
shales occur which yield 10 per cent, and
sometimes larger amount, of bitumen.

Travelling ELECTRIC I.Ight.

A travelling electric light has been used
in Germany with much success. The ar
rangement is very simple one. A dynamo,
with an engine to drive it, is mounted on a
wagon, something like that of steam fire
engine, containing boiler, fuel box and
water tank, complete for a nights service.
A supply of wire and a number of poles
corresponding to the number of lights re-
ouired are added to the equipment, which
is then drawn by pair Of horses to any
desired place. On arriving there the poles
are set up where required and stayed with
wires fastened with stakes driven into the
ground; the lamps are then hung TO them
and properly connected, and the engine is
set in motion. The lights Immediately
kindle, and from 1 to 80 lamps can be
operated, according to the power of the
machine. As the lamps can be suspended
anywhere, and are not affected by wind or
rain, the advantage of the apparatus to con-
tractors and others who have to carry on
night work is apparent.

THE ORIGIN OF THE COP.
Eugene Field Explains How the Word Came
to be Applied to Policemen.

Eugene Field Explains How the Word Came
to be Applied to Policemen.
Chicago News.1
Mr.. E. w. White, of this city, asks for
information as to the "origin of the term
cop as applied to a policeman. 1t is q
contraction of the word "copper"" which is
English slang for police officer Accord
ing to Hotten, ''to cop" means to seize or to
lay hold of anything unpleasant. A "cop-
per" is one who 'cops" or apprehends un-
pleasant objects. In America the phrase
''to copper" is frequently heard, and it
seems to have two distinct meanings-one
signifying ''to clinch," 'to insure, ito
consummate," as 81 coppered the chance as
quick as could" The other usage of the
word obtains among gamblers almost ex-
clusively, "to copper" card at faro signi-
flying that the gambler bets that that card
will lose.
The derivation of the original slang word
"cop" can only be surmised. Itmay have
been a contraction of the Latin word
"capere," to take, or it may have been a
contraction of another Latin word corpus, "
body. Perhaps the funniest pathological
coincidence is to be met with in the En-
glish word "pole-horse" and the old Greek
word "polos," both words meaning the
same thing.

Peculiar Form of EpilppsH.

Prof. Charcot, in lecturing in Paris
recently, illustrated his remarks on special
variety of epilepsy by exhibiting patient,
who after having made numerous excursions
to Paris, started on January II, about Z in
the evening, in an access of "ambulatory
automatism," +" and walked thus for ten days.
When he awoke he was on a bridge in q
town which he did not know. II was in
Brest, where he had arrived during his
access. NJ. Charcot also cited an example Of
an analogous case which declared itself
after fall. 1t was that of a porter who
was epileptic, and who, after this accident,
was seized with similar access and traV-
eled during eight days without stopping and
without consciousness.

Accuracy of Firing Big Guns.

OF the recent tests made on board the We
suvius, not the least interesting was that
which demonstrated the ease with which
the range of her projectiles can be changed.
This is accomplished by varying the amount
of air admitted to the gun barrel in the rear
of the shell. The air is always admitted
from the firing reservoir to the gun at q
pressure of 1000 pounds per square inch,
and the valve which controls the admission
of air must be so delicately adjusted that
the amount may be varied at will and to
nicely. In other words the valve must
work to such perfection that the final pres
sure upon the she'll may be diminished from
1000 pounds per square inch to a pressure
just sufficient to drop the she'll short dis
tance from the muzzle.

Sanitation and Sanity.

Sir Edwin Chadwick, in an address on
sanitary science, says: Physicians are be-
ginning to declare that large amount of the
crime for which punishment is inflicted is
due to insanity, and that insanity is due to
low physical condition which sanitation by
early physical training would remove.
There are experiences to show that this is
the fact. DR.. Ashe and others eonversant
with the lunatic asylum declare that, as a
class, lunatics are of low physical condition,
and that that low condition is reducible by
sanitation and early physical training, that
is to say, of the $4,000 lunatics who now
burthen the rates. OF 80, 900 blind persons,
the late DIR. Rolph declared that two-thirds
might have been saved by early sanitation. F"

Cost of Storage Battery Motive Power.

The Julien Electric Traction Company
publish some valuable and interesting
figures as to the results obtained on the
Fourth avenue surface road in New York
in running cars with storage batteries.
Their car days work is 5714 miles, which is
run without recharging. In 40 days the
gross earnings of the storage battery cars
were at the annual rate of S9,1O6 70 as
against Sc. .387 80, the average earnings of
horse cars on the same line, and the net
earnings of each car will more than pay its
entire cost and equipment at the end of the
first year. During the 40 days that the test
car has been at work neither batteries nor
motors have required attention or expense
for repairs or renewals. The difficulties
which beset the early stages OF the Julien
system have been one by one overcome, and
now the service is smooth and effective.
The cost of motive power is calculated at
IS 10 per day of 60 miles. That Is the cost
of energy at cents per horse power, and
500 per annum for maintenance of batteries
and motor.

A Ouick Motion Valve.

An ingenious device has been patented by
Mr.. j. H. Pagan, of Chicago, for closing
steam and other valves quickly. In the ap-
plication of this device the ordinary screw
thread is not dispensed with except when,
through accident, it becomes necessary to
shut down suddenly. An independent
bushing is used to carry the ordinary op-
Grating screw of the valve, which by SIM
pie attachment can be locked in place, thus
utilizing the. screw thread for raising or
lowering the valve; or in case of accident or
necessity it can be relieved, and by the aid
of the lever instantly lowered to shut of
steam.
