formed as to admit air and light to
the building, and also to give diver
sity of outline.
The tower, it is said, will be easily
visible from Michigan City, La Porte,
Aurora, Elgin, Waukegan and points
sixty miles distant. 1t will not be
built merely as a curiosity. While
its design will be artistic, business
like consideration will not be lost
sight Of, for within it will be run no
less than eighteen elevators, in addi-
tion to four main stair cases, which will
lead to 1872 offices, all in the tower
proper and above the roof level OF the
building. Disseminating the termi-
nal bays above the tenth story will
prevent the throwing Of shadows into
the lower offices and will develop the
element of progressive recessions from
base to pinnacle, which constitutes
an interesting feature of the design.

to be a rough n

ventiOn of his, which, il must be
said, worked splendidly, in exact ac-
cordance with his idea. AS the
scheme is a new one, and as its prof.
ector disclaimed any intention of
having ii patented, it is given TO the
young rcauers unuU uncy- muy--try-
their skill at boat building on plan
which involves neither mechanical
ability, capital, nor a great expend-
iture of time. There need be no ex-
cuse for not having an enjoyable af-
ternoon, even if the streets are wet,
as this is rainy-day toy.
The way in which the boy in ques-
tion had constructed his self-propel-
ling boat was very simple. He took
the bottom OF an empty cigar box,
knocked all the nails out, and had
then, with the aid OF a broken-bladed
pocket-knife, cut il into this shape:
After this he took one of the side
pieces Of the box, cut it half length
wise, and bevelled off the end, form
ing a keel like this:
This he then nailed to the bottom
of the fat board, exactly in the mid
die, in such manner as to make the
keel and the bottom form right an
giles. The most difficult part OF the
boat was then commemorative man
ufacture OF the paddle. Taking the
remaining half of the side piece he
had used for the keel, he cut it in
half crOsswise, and then in the mid
die of each piece made groove, so as
to allow the other piece TO fit in
snugly. The groove was made to go
only half way through, so that when
the other piece was fitted in it did
not lap over on the other side. When
these two pieces were put together
they termed the four-baded paddle
shown in the cut.
This completed the difficult part of
the work, and the boy was by this
time surrounded by quite group Of
his playmates. Some of them were
curious to know what the queer-
looking affair was to be, but to these
he gave rather curt answers, telling
them TO wait and see. IL was evil
dent that they had watched him
doing some whiting before, because
they seemed to think it would pay
them TO wait, and quietly sat down
on the curbstone.
Taking good, strong rubber band
from his pocket, the embryo naval
constructor placed 1t over the paddle
m such way that each side of the
band was between two Of the blades
of the paddle. Then he placed the
ends OF the bands over the stern of
the boat and caught each end In the
groove he had cut for the purpose,
which Is shown in the cut.
Now rs1e boys were all atten-
tion. The paddle was then wound
around and around until II seemed as
though the rubber would break II

suit women conductors. Those young
women in uniforms will never have
to jump off and swear at truck-drivers

"We won't have any homely ones if
we can help it," said Mr.. Dyer with a
wink. There is no reason in the
world why woman should not en-
gage in the legitimate occupation of
street-car conductor. There are women
lawyers, women doctors, women cler-
gymen; women are gaining an entrance
to the ranks of toilers everywhere.

Puzzled French man.

Inappropriate words, says an ex-
change, may convey the meaning I'M
mistakably, witho& being in accord
ance with the English idiom. A
Frenchman, while looking at num-
Der of vessels, exclaimed, "See what a
flock of ships!" He was told that a
flock of ships was called feet, but
that a fleet of sheep was called a
flock.
To assist him in mastering the in
tricacies Of the English language, he
was told that flock of girls was
called bevy, that bevy of wolves
Is called a pack, but that pack OF
cards is never called bevy, though q
pack Of thieves is called gang, and
gang Of angels is called a host, while
host of porpoises is termed shoaL
He was told that a host OF oxen is
called herd, and herd OF children
is called troop, and troop of par
tridges is termed a coyey, and covey
OF beauties is called a galaxy, and a gal
axy of ruffians is called a horde, and a
horde OF rubbish Is called a heap, and
a heap of bullocks is called drove,
and a drove of blackguards is called a

called a congregation, and congrega-
tion o. engineers is called a corps, and a
corps OF robbers is called a band, and
a band of locusts is called a crowd,

Chicago Boaieynrds.
One OF the queer things which win
be visible to people who go to Chicago
during the Worlds Fair will be a
line OF columbian coaches" whereof
the conductors will be in every case
neatly uniformed young women.
They will wear snug-ftting braided
jackets, and bell punches swung
about their necks, and caps something
like the yachting headgear OF 1891.
And they will be at work long before
1898, too.
This isn't exactly a novelty. Away
down In conservative Chilli some years
ago, when the men all went away to
fight the Peruvlans, women took to
running the street cars, and they did
IL so well that they've been doing 1t
ever since. Up in New Hampshire a
woman has owned a street-car line
and hired men to drive for her, which
Is much nicer, OF course. But the
Chicago experiment will certainly be
the first of its sort in. the country.
But why women? Mr.. James l..
Dyer Is the designer of the Columbian
coaches. He is no more than ordina-
rily gallant, perhaps, but very prac-
tical. Chicago has curious provis-
ion that no vehicles can be run on the
boulevards without a lady aboard.
The object of this ordinance is to
keep the houlevards for pleasure
drivfng-to keep of business wagons
and drays on the one hand and fast
trotters driven by "horsey" men on
the other. AS Mr.. Dyer says: Il can
ride down Michigan boulevard on a
load Of hay If / have a lady with me,
but l can't make the same trip alone
in grocer's delivery wagon. During
the Worlds Fair it will be absolutely
necessary to utilize the boulevards for
passenger traffic, and we purpose to
eyade an unjust ordinance by carry
ing our lady passengers in the shape
of conductors.
The Columbian coaches are making
trial trips now, and will soon be
turned out at the rate Of twenty a

The Medical Battery Company in Ok
ford street, more widely known as the
Electropathlc and lander Institute,
has introduced a new feature In
dental and surgical operations. An
operating chair OF the best and most
approved type is provided with bat
terry and Faradaic coil, whereby a
smart current of electricity is gener-
ated. The battery and coil, and the
apparatus connected Herewith, are
arranged in closed space under the
excited when required, or turned OF,
by means of two thumbscrews at the
back Of the chair, which respectively
actuate by levers the proportional
immersion Of the zinc plate in the
battery cell and the withdrawal of
the sheath from the core of the coil.
Thus, the quantity and tension Of the
electric current is determined. This
current is connected by two electrodes
fastened into the ends of the two
arms OF the chair. The patient, be-
ing seated, takes hold of the cleo
trodes with both hands, when he ex-
periences the usual galvanic sensa-
tions. So soon as he has become ac-
customed to the action of the cur
rent, which has deadening effect on
pain, the operator puts his foot on a
pedal, which, by means Of weighted
lever, stunts the current to the REQ
phore, or cord, attached to the for
ceps or operating instrument. AS
soon as the forceps touch the tooth to
be extracted, the circuit Of the cur
rent is established through the body
Of the patient. The galvanic action
thus brought directly on the nerve OF
the tooth deadens the local pain, and
permits extraction without suffering.
Some patients have been already
operated on, and successful future
appears to be promised for this novel
process. For other surgical perform.
ances, the like local application of
the galvanic current can be similarly
applied, and the use of electricity
may very likely become a widespread
substitute for the powerful and less
safe anasthetics at present so largely
employed. The neatness and unob-
trusiveness Of the galvanic appliances
and the means of employing them are
not the least commendable features in
the invention.

the youngstcr placed the boat In the
water, and then let go Of the paddle
and the bow at the same time. As
the paddle was released, of course the
rubber began TO untwjst, and thus
moved the paddle with sufficient
force TO send the little craft to the
end of the ten-foot pool. 1t was
quickly caught up here and headed
the other way, and had Just reached
the starting-point when the rubber
had spent its force.
AS the boat sailed away there went
up quite cheer from the audience OF
small boys, and the inventor had to

times. They die not hesitate TO com

Col. DYRENFoRTH is not to be al
lowed to have the field all to himself
as a rainmaker. Another Chicago
man, Mr.. Louis Gathmann, has a
plan for producing. rain by the use of
liquefied carbonic acid gas, which can
be made cheaply and in immense
quantities from lime and marble dust.
He proposes TO fill siX-inch cylinders
two or three feet long with this ma
terial at a pressure Of 800 pounds to
the square inch, and explode them at
a distance of a mile or so above the
earth's surface. The sudden expan-
sion Of the contents will produce a
temperature of seventy degrees below
zero, and cause the formation of a
very large cloud in obedience to the
well-known law that a lowering of
the temperature of volume of air
decreases its capacity for sustaining
moisture. 1t is said that ex-senator
Farwell has Investigated the theory,
and intimated that he proposes to
give a trial to the scheme, which in
language facetiously ascribed to the
inventor will enable any one to get =
copious shower, no matter how hot
the day, by dropping $500 in the

The FaithmI DOG of HelveIlvn.

the memory OF Charles Cough, who,

it in his lines on Fidelity"
The young man was returning to
Wythburn, where he lodged, from a
fishing excursion in Patterdale. The
accident was probably caused by a
false step, during a binding hail
storm or "a dense fog that day. 1t
happened on April Is, and on July 20
his bones were found, still watched
by the starving dog, little yellow.

to secure enough food for milk for
her young, she maintained life by bits
of carrion sheep which are not unfre-
quently found on the hills; but she
might have had to range far and wide
during her three months watch.
The mere fact that the bones were
found intact serves to prove the as
sertion that the dog did not touch
the remains of her master, for dogs
break the bones TO suck the marrow.
This animal died few years after
