IT would be well for the patrons of
the electric cars to take notice of the
fact that the courts have non-suited a
man who was injured by trying to get
aboard the car between the regular
stopping places and sued the railroad
company for damages. The railroad
company is held tc be blameless, and
the plaintiff is censured for his reck-
lessness. People who cannot reach the
regular stations of the electries would
do well to find some other moae-of con-
veYance or 60 afoot.

Curious Animaiculae.

Plants have their lowest representatives,
called protophytes. Animals which cor
respond to this class are termed protozoa,
from the Greek proton, first, and zoon. ami
NAL The protozoa are microscopic Great
ures consisting of one or mbre cells and
are infinitely small, thousands existing in
a drop of water. They have no distinc-
ton of sexes, and their generation takes
place by subdivision or blending Of cells.
The infusoria are the highest of the pro-
tozoa. Their numbers are infinite, and in
a drop of water some very interesting
specimens will be found. (See cut.)
Thsee infusoris are jelly like substance,
and some have hairy appendages with
which they agitate the water and cause a
kind of current that brings them food. 1t

Somebody has coined the word motor

Telephones are being introduced in hos

In Germany an alcoholic solution Of TO-
dide of potassium traversed by a current of
carbonic acid is subjected to the electric
current, and iodoform is produced in the
shape Of small yellow capsules
A new electric lantern has been designed
in Vienna for the use Of lecturers and medi-

magnifed image of an object is produced
on a white screen in its natural colors.
The effect of the electric light current on
the compasses Of some vessels is so great

Iron articles can be protected from rust
by sinking them near the negative pole OF
an electric bath composed of ten liters OF

level Of the water outside. The outer
pressure exercised on the disk, as well as
the pressure beneath, is now equal to the
weight of a body of water having for it's
base the surface of the opening of the tube,
it's depth being the distance from the card
board to the level OF the water.
Syringes, pumps, ETC., are based upon
the effects of atmospheric pressure. Bal
looms rise in the air by means of the buoy
ancy of gas. A balloon being body plunged
in air, is consequently submitted to the
same laws as q body plunged in water.
Boats float because of the pressure Of
liquid, and water spurts from fountain
for the same reason.
Numbered with useful applications Of
the principles of fluid pressure is the fol-
lowing: A horse was laden with two tubs
for carrying supply of water, and in the
bottom of the tubs valve was fixed.
When the horse entered the stream the
tubs were partly immersed; the water then
exercised its upward pressure, the valve
opened and the tubs slowly filed When
they were nearly full the horse turned
round and came out of the water. The
pressure had ceased. Thus the action of
the water first opened the valve and then
closed it

It Was Pretty Tough, for Even a Bayonet
Could Not Go Through 1t.

Could Not Go Through 1T.
In the history of the days of 81 there are
many events of those stirring times which
viii not appear in the records. The little
Incidents OF army life, stories of heroism
and amusing tales that give faint humor-
Gus tinge to sober and awful moments are
fast dropping out of sight as the comrades
of old rapidly part company on the earth S
big camp ground.
From mouth to mouth passes the old
yarn when the veterans meet in their re-
union, and the hearty laughs speak OF
their enjoyment of the oft repeated tales
The thousands of old soldiers attending
a reunion furnish a stock of them, and
could they have been picked up just as
they fell from the lips of the men that told
them volumes would be needed to pre-
serve them.
One gray haired veteran, who lost limb
at Shiloh, had caught the attention for q
moment, and broke out with the follow
ing:
FYou fellows that were not in my divis-
ion missed half the good fighting, and
speaking of heavy fighting reminds me of
the time was taught the best lesson of
my lie The great moral Of that lesson
was, Don't complain of your bread and
butter
81 was a long. lank soldier, with an ap-
petite like n cotton gin, and during the
several weeks we were behind intrench-
ments had to tighten my belt an inch
each day.
"Ratious were short, and the boys on our
line set up general howl. Invent up to
the commissary sergeant one day and face
tiously asked him for some chicken broth.
"He looked at me gravely for a moment,
and then, reaching his arm down into a
barrel, pulled out piece of bareback and
gave it to me with this curt remark, My
boy, your appetite's bigger than your
belly
81 Tapped my we'll tried teeth over the
tough morsel, but could only make a dent
in it. Then looking reproachfully at the
sergeant | stored it away in the breast
pocket of my coat and returned to duty.
1.-The next day marked incessant firing
upon the part of the line pitted against us,
and later in the day we made grand
charge. In the midst of the roar of battle
/ forgot all temerity and rushed madly on
with the rest of the boys Suddenly re-
ceivcd terrific blow in the breast, and

my breast, but could feel no sharp pain.
Imagine my surprise when l saw that he
could not pull the weapon from the coat
81 captured that fellow, and when the
battle was over / discovered that the bay
onet point had lodged in the tough hard
tack and had snapped as my assailant tried
to extricate X. Yes, sir, that hardtack
saved my life, and kept it for some time
afterward."
The other veterans in the group smiled
at this unusual recital, and one Of them
asked him what he had finally done with
the bareback.
''WelI, you see" replied the unabashed
relator, "we got pretty hungry afterward,
and / had to eat the 6arned stuff after
throwing the broken bayone4 away"
Then the veterans broke into loud guf-
Jaws, and the man that told the yarn ad-
mitted the fib by joining in with them

Microscopic Organisms in Cheese.

NJ Adametz has lately made some re-
searches upon the microscopic organisms
that inhabit cheese. In Emmenthal, soft
variety of Gruyere cheese, he found in
each gramme when fresh from $4,000 to
100000 microbes. This number increases
with time. But the population of a cheese
is not everywhere distributed the same in
it. The center is but moderately inhabited
with respect to the exterior portion. The
population of a soft cheese near the periph-
cry is from S,6O0, 900 to 5000, 900 microbes
According to the mean OF these two
figures there are as many living organisms
in 800 grammes of such a cheese as there
are people upon the earth.
