A POWERFUL CURRENT.

The Greatest Voltage and the Longest
Line In the World.
Mention was made some weeks ago
of line intended to carry electricity at
twenty-five thousand volts from Lauffen
to Frankfort, q distance Of over one
hundred miles. The experiment has
been watched with interest by cleo
tricians on both sides of the ocean, says
the Philadelphia Record, since there
are not wanting those who claim that
the thing cannot be done. The pre-
liminary experiments made over a line
of three miles in length were, it is said,
entirely successful. A current of
thlrty-tnree Thousand volts was devel-
oped for the purpose of seeing how
great the tendency would be for the
current to leave the wire for the
ground. To discover this the wire was
cut and the pieces then slowly brought
together, and it was not until the ends
were within less than an inch of each
other that spark was forced across
the intervening space. An ordinary
safety cut-out, consisting of u ball of
lead, was then placed in the circuit and
n wire was dropped across the current
to initiate the falling of tree or the
crossing of another wire, when the
lead ball instantly melted with n flash
and an explosion, cutting off the cur
rent. From the results of the prelim-
mary experiments the projectors of the
new line feel confident of it's success.

TREES THAT STING.
Tho Beautiful Shrubs OF Queensland HAVE
Their Drawbacks.

Tho Beautiful Shrubs OF Queensland Have
Their Drawbacks.
Though the tropical shrubs OF Queens
land are very luxuriant and beautiful,
they are not without their dangerous
drawbacks, for there is one plant grow
ing among them that is really deadly in
its effects-that is TO say, deadly IN the
same way that one would apply that
term to fire, for if a certain proportion of
ones body be burned by the singing
tree death will be the result.
They are found, says the st. Louis
Republic, of all sizes, from three inches
up to fifteen and twenty feet. " the
old ones the stem is whitish, and the
red berries usually grow in a cluster at
the top. It emits a peculiar and disa-
greeable smell, but it is best known by
its leaf, which is nearly round, with a
point on the top and jagged all around
the edges like nettle. All the leaves
are large, even on small plants-some-
times larger than a saucer.
The effects of the sting are curious,
it leaves no mark, but the pain is said
to be maddening, and for months after
a jab from one of its numerous ''sting-
ers" the part stung remains very tender;
especially is this true in rainy weather,
or when the parts stung have been &C
cidentally dampened, even if very
slightly.
Hunters who have found themselves
surrounded by small forests of sting
ing trees" in the dusk of evening have
been known to lie down and pass the
night as comfortably as possible, fear
ing to make an effort to eXtricate them
selves in the dim, uncertain light, lest
they might get deeper and deeper into
the besetting trouble.
81 have SEEM" said Shuman, "a man,
who would treat ordinary pain lightly,
roll on the ground in agony for hours
after being stung, and have known a
horse so completely mad, after getting
into a thicket Of these trees, that he
rushed open-mouthed at everyone that
approached him, and had to be shot to
relieve his agony"
Dogs, when stung, will rush about,
whining piteously, biting pieces of flesh
from the affected parts.
The small ''stinging trees" only &
few inches high, are even more dan
gerous than the large ones, being so
small they are likely to brush ones
ankles before they are seen.
One safeguard for the experienced
hunter is the fact that they always
grow in palm thickets, and no place
else. The presence of palm trees is,
therefore, sufficient to put an old settler
on his guard.

GOOD OR BAD AS THE OC-
CASION DEMANDS.

Mr.. Porter, the gentleman who en-
deavored to take q census of the
United States and failed, is in San
Francisco. His is the first case of q
violent partisan, says the Alta, being
placed at the head Of the Census Bu-
reau. He was entertained in this
city by u partisan Republican club,
and in the course of his speech said:
<'That tariff is a tax that has been
thoroughly exploded" If it is not
a tax will Mr.. Porter please explain
why there is any Reed Of a free list?
II the foreign producer paid the raw
sugar tax why make sugar free? The
billion Ct dollars appropriated by the
last Congress has to be paid by our
people or some other people. If the
tariff is not tax on our people, who
pays the duties at the Custom House?
Mr.. Porter was once a member of a
Commission to examine the tariff
question and report upon legislation
needed. The Commission reported in
favor of reducing the tariff twenty
per cent. If the tariff is not tax on
our own people why did he recon-
mend an abatement of twenty Fer
cent? Was his recommendation in
favor of the American or the foreign
er? Mr.. Porter also remarked that
"by putting sugar on the free list
Republican Congress smashed the
biggest trust that was ever in exist
ence into smithereens." Mr.. Porter
admits, then, that Protection fosters
trusts. just as Mr.. Cleveland said in
his tariff reform message of 1887. 1t
it we're not so, taking Protection off
raw sugar could not affect the sugar
trust. II Protection on sugar favored
the sugar trust, why does not Protec-
ton on iron, steel, coal, etc., foster
trusts in tn ose commodities? Mr..
Porter treats Protection as the boy
did SPAWN. He had horse for sale
and the men around nagged him.
One said: "Your horse has SPAWN"
and the boy answered.: "If spavin's
good for a horse, he's got it; If it
haint, he amt got it," So when Mr..
Porter talks about the tariff to men
who want high prices, tariff makes
high prices. When low prices are
good for his audience, the tariff
makes low prices. There is one thing
o: which we will gladly acquit the
tariff. 1t had nothing to do with the
defective and worthless Census that
was taken last year.-[Eureka Senti-
mel.
