DANGER ON THE ELEVATOR.

People Who Should BE Careful How
They Use the Rapid Lifts.
The general use of rapid travelling ele-
vators is having an effect upon the peo-
pie who use them that is causing good
deal of speculation as to whether it is
safe for person having weak heart to
ride up and down on them habitually.
Some persons believe that the rapid mo-
tion and sudden stops are liable to pro-
duce heart disease. Doctors are not posi-
tive on the subject, but their opinions
seem to lend color to the theory that a
person with a weak heart should not
ride frequently on such elevators.
'Ihls is certainly very interesting
question" said DR.. Thomas j. Mays,
who makes diseases of the heart a /
specially. 81 have heard people COM
planning of a sinking feeling in these
rapid transit elevators, but whether the
movement of the elevator has any effect
on the heart or not am not prepared to
say. When q PERSONS heart is diseased
in any way the slightest change of en-
vironment will affect it, of course. The
movement of the elevator causes
change of environment, but it may or
may not cause an aggravation of the
heart trouble. Doubtless it quickeus
the movement of the heart, but without
investigation of the subject it would
seem to me that the movement of
rapid transit elevator would only affect
those persona whose hearts are affected.
However, / am not prepared to give all
opinion without study of the question:
DR.. Frank Woodbury., another physl-
clan who gives heart troubles special
attention, also said he had not studied
the question, but he was rather inclined
to think the movement of rapid transit
elevator would affect person; "but,
said he, Il think it would have more
effect on the nerves than on the heart.
came down in one of those elevators
this morning with lady, and she com
planned of sinking feeling, as if she
was going; to faint. Not having given
the matter any serious consideration,
am notprepared to give an opinion, bu,
Il should nervous people would
very probably be affected by the sudden
and swift upward or downward motion
of an elevator
II. oouu ID. OuOeIuaRer was announcer
physician whSs declined to express an
opinion. 81 have heard the matter dis.
cussed, said he, "but have not given
it personal attention. The motion of
rapid elevator undoubtedly has a TEN.
porary effect on some people, butwhether
it affects the heart permanently or not
cannot say"
Another physician said that many
persons nerves and hearts are affected
by the excessive use of tobacco, and the
rapid motion of the elevator will always
affect them. The heart is always af.
fected by the constant use Of tobacco,
and its movement easily quickened by
excitement Of any kind. This is espe-
cially the case with persons of a nervous
temperament, and those persons always
have sinking feeling when rapid transit
elevator suddenly starts or stops.
Whether these rapid transit elevators
have permanent effect upon the heart
or nerves, he would not venture an
opinion.-Philadelphia Record.

Won by a Cur Button.

'Do you see that peculiar looking stud
that man is wearing on his shirt 'front.'"
said hotel clerk the other day, point
ing to gentleman standing near by,
and on whose expansive bosom was
fastened gold button with a bird in
black enamel upon it.
''That man is St. Louis drummer,
and he has been wearing that stud for
twenty years to my knowledge" added
the clerk. SIT was twenty years ago
that he married relative of Patrick
Egan, of Nebraska. Previous to that
time certain young business man Of
Chicago was also counting her, and
among the presents he once gave her was
pair of cuff buttons, of which that stud
was one. The rival Saw these buttons
.one day onfthe young lady's cuffs, and
in jest purioined one Of them and placed
it in his shirt front. When leaving the
house afteFward he encountered the
Chicago suitor, who spied the jewel. An
explanation was demanded of the young
lady and an angry scene followed, and
the Chicago man left in a huff.
When the St. Louis drummer called
the next time he proposed and was ac-
cepted. After their marriage his wife
told him that had the Chicago lover pro.
posed first, which he undoubtedly would
have done but for the cuff button episode,
she would have accepted him. Ever
since that time the happy husband has
been wearing that button, and money
could not buy it of him. San Francisco

Tin in Silk.

An ingenious Frenchman has discov-
cred process of recovering the tin con-
tanned in the wash waters of silks which
have been weighted, and has accordingly
received from the French Society for the
Encouragement of National Industry the
prize allotted for the utilization of resid-
eral substances, and it is estimated that
Lyons alone will effect an annual economy
of $50, 900 by these means.
The gentleman deserves his reward,
for the history of the reclamation of
waste products, although it has been full
of surprises and may be considered an
amazing testimony to the genius and
patience of man, contains nothing more
remarkable than this profit derived from
the refuse of this excessive adulterant.
The question has been more than once
asked why silk rags had no value, but
they may yet be sought after by dust
contractors and marine store dealers, not
for the sake of the silk, but of the tin,
and if we had an industrial mint we might
contemplate the contingency of an old
silk gown split and torn because it was
as much metal as textile, being converted
into dripping pan or some other kitchen
utensil.-San Francisco Chronicle.
