To obyiate Trolley Poles.

If the invention of DR.. Bates, of this
city, stands the test Of experiment the
entire electric railway system of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded by a simple conduit bolted to the
center of the track. Some such inven-
ton is greatly needed. The overhead
maze of wires is a constant source of de-
lay and danger. The place for all cleo
trio wires, whether for railways, tele-
graphs or telephones, is underground,
or properly insulated and protected in
conduits, as proposed by DR.. Bates.
The main difficulty to be apprehended
with the new invention is with snow and
ice in winter. The slot which admits
the trolley arm from the car into the
conduit is protected from rain and dust
by q steel strip which acts with a spring.
If this strip and spring can protect the
slot alike from rain and dust in summer,
and from snow and ice in winter, the in
vention may prove to be one Of the most
important in years. President Lowry
deems the invention to possess consider
able merit, and will undoubtedly give it
thorough trial.-Minneapolis Tribune.

The prairie fire which swept over
southern Edmunds and Faulk coun.
ties, S. D., last Thursday night and
Friday has been greatly exaggerated
by newspaper correspondents, who
make it appear three large residences
burned in Vermont City, also known
as Loyalton. 1t was a disastrous
fire and did a great deal of damage,
but the three houses mentioned did
not burn. However, on Wednesday
night a large house in that town,
known as the Folsom house, took fire
from a gasoline stove and burned to
the ground. The prairie fire of
Thursday night started northwest of
Vermont City by the burning of Thos.
Hamills' house which caught fire by
the o%ver-turning of a lamp.
1t should be a warning to the PEG.
pie OF this county, many of whom
have no protection against the ravag.
Ing flames of burning prairie grass.
The grass is getting very dry and
everybody should have fre.guards
around their property and be con.
stantly on the watch.

Argentine Frenchmen in Want.

The grant of the French government
of 1000, 900 francs toward the expense Of
bringing distressed French emigrants in
the Argentine Republic back to France
is sufficiently significant Of the mex
pediency of emigration to that country
at this time. MI. Herbert, British secre-
tary of legation at Buenos Ayres, is
clearly at n with the French authori-
ties on this point, for he expresses a hope
that the flow thither of British emigra-
ton may cease for the present.
The British colonist adds to other causes
of failure a special difficulty in acquir-
ing the language Of the people. His COM
petitor, the Italian laborer, on the con-
trary, owing to the similarity Of the
language, climate and habits of the
country with what he has been accus-
toned to, feels himself comparatively at
home on landing, besides finding himself
surrounded by a large number of his
countrymen.-Paris Cor. London Tele-

The Ice Cure.

About two years ago a contributor to
The North American Review called at
tention to the hygienic value of refriger-
alton, and predicted that climatic fevers
would yet be cured in ice cooled hospi-
tails. That prediction seems to have been
verified by an actual experiment. Ha-
vana papers publish circumstantial re-
ports from Santiago de Cuba where a
Spanish physician is treating, and in
variably curing, yellow fever patients in
q camera polar (polar chamber), i. g., in
a sanitarium reduced by means of ice
to a temperature nearly 40 dogs. below
the average Of the outdoor atmosphere.
The result appears plausible enough, and
the only puzzle seems why Yankee en-
terprise has not long ago acted upon the
hintthat the first night frosts put a stopto
the malarial disorders of our gulf states.

Figures Of Two Big Railroads.

An interesting comparison was re-
Gently made of two Of the greatest rail-
road corporations in the world, one Eng
fish, the other American. The Pennsyl-
vania system, regarded rs n aggrega-
ton, though it includes more than 100
minor corporations, represents 1915
miles of railroad and a canal, a share
and bonded capital of $500, 900, 900, gross
earnings in 1890 Of $133, Ooe, 900 and the
movement in the same year of 1877, 900, 900
tons of freight and "a, 900, 900 passengers.
The English corporation referred to-
the London and Northwestern-has an
authorized capital of $3.50, 877, $40 and
1915 miles of road, on which the gross
receipts for n year were $29,651, 839.
The disparity in gross receipts per mile
is not extremely large, but the capitali-
cation Of the English line is vastly
greater, in proportion to mileage and
traffic, than that of the American sys-
tem.-Mechanical News.

Every now and then | sec an old man
walking down Pennsylvania avenue with
his head bent in thought, paying little
attention to tho people he passes, but
stopping now and then to look into a
store window, or to look at the portraits
displayed in front of the photograph gal
leries which abound on that street. At
first glance there is nothing particularly
striking in his appearance. He is slen-
der and not above medium height, and
dresses in clothes of a sort Of brownish
gray color. A sandy gray beard hangs
in a point over his shirt front, and he
always wears a derby hat.
But if he turns his face full toward
you your attention is at once attracted
by a mass of blue spots thickly pepper
ing his cheeks, eyelids and forehead,
which indicate that he has literally
smelt powder-smelt it in close quar-
tiers. Big grains of the deadly explosive
have been driven deep into his flesh. 1t
was a bursting shell from the ram Mer-
rimac that so marked him for life, and
the mouth of the gun was not far from
his face, for they fought in close quar-
tiers. Probably not one person out of a
thousand who pass him on the avenue
knows who he is; he is almost lost to
sight and perhaps little thought of, but
he is among the very last of the great
commanders Of the war who still linger.
He is Admiral Worden, who COM
manded the Monitor, defeating the Mer-
rimac, which threatened the destruction
of the United States fleet at Hampton
roads. The shot that SCARED him was
fired fairly against the peephole in the
turret of the Monitor at which he had
his eye watching the course of the YES
sci. He lives very quietly here in rather
a fine house on X street. 1t is difficult
to get him to say anything about him
self or about the battle in which he won
distinction. He eschews all articles of
dress which would indicate his profess
~sion.-Washington Letter.

yauda,s in the Ad,rona.ct..

Visitors from the Chateaugay lakes,
Adirondacks, says that the glory of that
region of trout and deer has departed.
Notwithstanding the liberal stocking
that has been done every year, the trout
are small and scarce. The miners use
giant powder in the spring holes and on
tho spawning beds, and the hotel keep
ers are afraid to complain. In addition
to this, many of the residents go up the
side streams and catch tingerlings by the
hundred. This is always fatal to good
fishing. AS long as the little fish are
left undisturbed, the stock is kept up;
but going upthe little brooks and fishing
them out is killing the goose that lays
the golden egg.-Forest and Stream.

Fashions for Men.

The popular color for morning suits
this season is brown. There are dozens
Of shades of that color. The russell
browns and the dull browns, in which
there is a slight mingling of gray, are the
shades that go off best. Trousers have
undergone some slight alterations as re-
CARDS shape since last year. They follow
the shape of a peg top somewhat, and
are worn loose at the knees and tight
over the boots. Stripe patterns r con
sidered better taste than checks.
The frock coat is more fashionable
than ever, and only in a few details does
it differ from last seasons shape. 1t is
considered to look very elegant on tall
men with good figures, but neither n

ought to wear a frock coat. 1t makes

learned a thing or two about the
mysteries of sartorial art in the course
of a conversation with a leading tailor
the other day. He said: "Judicious pad
ding will hide a multitude of faults in a
mans figure. We get a gaunt looking
man sometimes, with sloping shoulders.
He wishes to be made to look important.
Well, we put as much padding as we
can into both his waistcoat and coat, and
give him an inch or m inch and q half
artificial elevation in the shoulders"

no more lC0rIS from NtsCOn8ln.
The pearl fishing craze in Wisconsin,
which was at its height in numerous
rivers a year ago, seems to have ended
as speedily a. it came. Pearls were
found in the clans in many rivers, but
non Of any particular value was found
except in Sugar and Pecatonica rivers
in southern Wisconsin. Not only has
the stock Of pearls been exhausted, but
the clans have been practically extermi-
mated. No good pearls have been found
for several months,
1t is the opinion of dealers that profit
able pearling in Wisconsin rivers is
practically ended for several generations
at least, as there are few clans remain
ing in the rivers which produce pearls,
and it will require many years for the
clans to multiply sufficiently. Besides
there is no knowing how many years are
required to produce the pearls, ever
were the clans to become numerous
again. There is no means of estimating
the value of the pearls taken from Sugar
and Pecatonica rivers while the excite
ment lasted, thought it would undoubted-
ly run far up into the thousands of dol
lars.
Pearls were sold in the market here
for all sorts Of prices, from a few shil-
lings up to nearly s. 1000. One firm in
Milwaukee sold three to q New York
dealer for $1,000, while hundreds of
others brought prices ranging from $50
to $500, and some Of the choicest were
sold by New York dealers, it is said, for
as high as $1,000 each. There is yet
great demand for Wisconsin pearls, and
their scarcity, it is believed, will tend
greatly to increase their value. 1t is a
pity that "the goose which laid the
golden egg" or rather the clans which
produced the pearls, should have been so
ruthlessly exterminated. - Milwaukee

Tha Jaddo Tunnel.

The greatest engineering feat in the
history Of anthracite coal mining is
about to begin. tits the commencement
of what will be known as the Jeddo tun-
mel, which will be driven for the pur-
pose of draining the flooded mines Of
Jeddo and Harleigh. It will be con-
structed from Butler Valley, Pa, to the
bottom of Ebervade mammoth vein, a
distance of three miles, through solid
rock, and will be eight feet square in the
clear.
The scheme of tunneling through the
mountains first occurred to John Markle,
who is to be president of the company.
1t will open an inexhaustible supply Of
coal and furnish employment to thou.
sands Of people for many years to come.
It will also serve the double purpose of
draining all the collieries in the valley.

His Hair Quickly Blcachcd in u Cavern.
William Gormly is a farmer in Hick-
ory township. He has been making a
tunnel in the side of the hill to a spring
for the purpose of carrying water to a
field below. John Grimes was employed
to dig the tunnel.
When he had proceeded about thirty
feet into the hill, and was about twenty
feet from the surface, he found himself
in a cavelike hollow, the roof Of which
was rock, in which there was a crack
from which he could see light. When
he reached the hollow, or cave, the hill
apparently sank in where he had been
digging, and he found himself a prisoner
twenty feet under ground. He called
for help, and later Mr.. Gormly procured
assistance, and, after working all night,
released him, after being in the hole
eighteen hours.
MI. Grimes hair was jet black when
he entered the tunnel, but it turned
snow white during the time he was i'm
prisoned.-Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

New Sugar Process.

1t is claimed that a new process has
recently been made in the manufacture
of sorghum sugar by which gum sub
stances may be eliminated from the sac
charine matter, and which will make
the cane yield from fifty to seventy
pounds more sugar to the ton than it
has been doing. Professor Wiley, who
has been experimenting in this, says that
sorghum sugar will bring about three
cents a pound and possibly four cents.
This will give the farmer more for his
product than anything else he can pro-
duce, and still leave a good profit to the
manufacturer.-New York Journal.
