The supreme court of the United
States has shown that there is way to
tax the various transportation companies
of the country, such as the Pullman car
company, the telegraph lines, express
routes, etc. North Dakota is like many
other states in this regard-been for
years trying to enact constitutional
requirement for revenue system that
would be successful in making these
wealthy institutions pay their proper
ton of the public burden, the same as
a common citizen. So far every effort
has been abortive and the corporations
politely but firmly inform the taxing
utfcers of the state to 60 hence, or words
to that effect. The present statutes of
the state provide for license of 800 on
each sleeping car and that express COM
panies pay certain sum for every office
opened by them. The federal supreme
court has inyariable decided that such
were restrictions on interstate commerce,

that it is not against interstate COM

Strengthening Cast Iron.

Some of the most prominent iron
founders are introducing a new and SIM
pie practice in order to secure stronger
castings, the method in question consist
ing in placing thin sheets of wrought
iron in the center of the mold previous
to the operation of casting. This method
was first resorted to, it appears, in the
casting Of thin plates for the ovens of
cooking stoves, it being found that a
sheet of thin iron in the center of quar-
ter inch oven plate rendered it practi-
cally unbreakable by fire.
This result has led to the process be-
ing now applied to the casting of large
iron pipes, core of sheet iron imparting
additional strength and lessening the
liability to any fracture. AS an evil
dence of the additional strength capable
of being impaired by this means, it is
stated that plate of iron one-fourth of
an inch thick, cast with a perforated
sheet of 27-wire gauge wrought iron in
the center, possessed six times the
strength of similar cast plate with no
core. The quarter inch plate had the
strength of plate one inch thick.-New

Coal in a River.

During the several freshets which have
occurred in the Susquehanna river the
past spring vast amount of "culm"
from the anthracite coal fields foated
down the river with the debris coming
out of the North Branch and its tribu-
taries. Large quantities of this culm or
coal dirt, which was washed from the
huge banks Of that material at the coal
breakers, lodged at the heads of the sew
eral islands opposite and above the city,
and recently parties have secured tons
of it by digging it out of the sand and
screening it, producing good quality
of pea and chestnut coal for boiler use.
A considerable quantity of egg or
larger sized coal is also gathered from
the bottom of the river, where it has
lodged among the gravel, and is removed
in perfectly clean state. All the larger
sizes of coal have become more or less
rounded by the action of the water.
Tons of this material are gathered dur,
ing the summer when the river is low.

No Successor to Blaratskx.

When asked recently regarding the re-
port that Lady Caithness was to be
Nine. Blavatsky' s successor, Mr.. William
@. Judge, the general secretary of the
Theosophical society in America, who
has just returned from Europe, said:
"This rumor is an absurdity, no matter
who is named. Although Lady Cath
ness is member of our society she does
not exhibit any interest in it's work or
official routine. Nine. Blavatsky's title
to respect and distinction among theoso-
phists rested upon the secure basis of her
great learning, altruistic earnestness and
occult knowledge. These qualifications
are not possessed by those who have not
had the training, and cannot be con-
ferred by election. But, to dispose of
the whole matter, it is enough to say
that no successor to FL. P. Blavatsky has
been or will be elected. Her only Office
was that of corresponding secretary, and
the constitution provided for its discon-
tinuance upon her death"

There Is Said to BE Certain and Rapid

There Is Said to Be Certain and Rapid
Means of ResuscitatiOn.
Colonel Henry Elsdale, of the Royal
engineers, claims to have discovered a
certain and rapid means of resuscitating
persons from the effects of suffocation.
A sapper among the men under his COM
mand at Chatham was one day found
enveloped in the folds of half empty
war balloon. The coal gas with which
il had been inflated had suffocated him,
and to all appearances he was dead
man. But efforts were made to restore
him, though the pulseless heart and ca
daverous face of the man gave no en-
couragement to persevere. In mo-
ment of something like inspiration it
occurred to Colonel Elsdale to send for
some tubes Of compressed oxygen, which
had been prepared for the oxyhydrogen
light.
This pure oxygen, at very high pres
sure, was hurriedly conveyed into the
mouth Of the prostrate sapper by means
of inserting the nozzle Of the valve be-
tween his teeth, and the supply was
gently turned on" to the smallest ex-
tent The effect was absolutely instan-
taneous. In an instant he opened his
eyes and seized the nozzle between his
teeth. In short, the sapper was not only
thoroughly revived within q few min
utes, but in half an hour walked away,
quite well, to the barracks, and refused
to go to the military hospital, as was
suggested by his commanding officer.
Of course the objection will be raised
that everybody has not tubes Of pure
oxygen at high pressure in readiness to
apply to such cases. Happily oxygen in
quantities as large as those administered
is not needed, and it can be stored sin
small, strong bottles made of the finest
steel, with a valve giving an absolute
hermetic seal"
These vessels may be as small as a
soda water bottle, and may be made part
Of the medical stock of every doctor.
Oxygen at any degree of compression
required can, in fact, now be obtained,
and the whole apparatus for restoring
vitality can be packed in small box
quite portable.
What possibilities may not such dis
covery as that to which we have drawn
attention involvei It is equally availa-
BILE, we are assured, for those persons
who have been asphyxiated by choke
damp in coal mines, or by ordinary coal
gas. People apparently drowned, and
those insensible from long exposure in
the rigging of ship, might also be saved
from an untimely end by what Colonel
Elsdale calls "a dose of oxygen"
1t would probably be invaluable, too,
in cases of suffocation from the fumes of
charcoal, or in cases where chloroform
had operated injuriously on a weak
heart. Such discovery should at once
occupy the attention of the Royal Col
lege of Physicians, with a view of ascer-
tanning whether Colonel Elsdale has
overrated the beneficient effects to be an
ticipated from the administration of
pure xygen.-London Chronicle.

came the Mahdi uprising, the Lacquer OF
Khartoum, the death of Gordon and the
triumph of the desert tribes. Thus
Emin's communication with the civilized
world was practically cut off. After a
considerable time, during which the
Congo state had been established, an agi-
tation was begun for his rescue.
Stanley took charge of the expedition,
and all the horrors and triumphs of the
march are still fresh in public memory.
Emin was found at Wadelai, the ac-
cepted ruler of a barbarian land in
which comparative peace prevailed. 1t
took months to persuade him to be res
cued, but finally he consented and was
borne in Stanley's train to Zanzibar.
There he attended banquet, drank too
much champagne, tumbled out of win
dow and cracked his skull. German
physicians attended him, and impressed
upon his mind their belief that Stanley
was acting not for humanity, but for
English interests.
When Emin recovered he declined to
visit England, and at the first oppor-
tunity made off for the interior of the
dark continent with force furnished
him by Baron Wissmann, the represen-
tative of Germany. He was thereupon
referred to in various speeches and pub
hcations as an Austrian Jew" ''short-
sighted, spectacled bug hunter, ''trai-
tor to his preseryer" and so ON. Over
year passed and his name had dropped
out of memory almost, when the other
day news came of startling nature.
Emin has reached and reconquered the
equatorial provinces, has again set up
his seat of government at Wadelai and
is again the recognized and welcomed
ruler of all that region, the only differ
ence being that he now holds the coun-
try not as a representative of Egypt or
of England, but as the sworn agent of
Germany. A writer well acquainted
with the facts says that "Emin's deed is
one of the most magnificent bits of work
ever done in an African expedition"

How 1t Feels to Have n Bug in Ones Ear.

How 1t Feels to Have n Bug in Ones Ear.
"a bug in his ear" is figure very ex-.
tensively used in common conversation.
But, reader, did you ever have bug in
your ear in fact? If not, you have no
idea how it feels. B. +. Tomiinson, who
experienced the sensation, says he never
suffered such torture in his life. The
bug crawled into his ear while he was
lying in bed asleep, between II and 12
o'clock one night. 1t was only COM
mon candlebug or fly, but the degree of
torture one of them can infict while in
the ear is beyond the scope of the imagi-
nation. Mr.. Tomlinson said that when
he awoke he dreamed that railway
train had jumped the track, struck him
in the ear and was plowing its way
through his head. The train kept going,
but it seemed that it would never get
through.
Occasionally it would stop and then
start again with renewed force. Then
again the train seemed to be at stand
still, but the wheels would be turning
with lightning rapidity. The train
would move off gradually with grating
noise, and would not stop till the whistle
blew for the next station or it ran off the
track or collided with another train,
which frequently occurred. Mr.. Tom
hnson stood the torture till daylight,
when he sent for doctor, who succeeded
in fishing out the bug, which in the
meantime had died. Mr.. Tomlinson
said that if the bug had remained in his
ear an hour longer he would have been
a raving maniac. c.-Mexico (Mo.) Intelli-

The Both Of this month will be De-

the Grand Army Of the Republic
will celebrate the day in the usual
manner at the Nuuanu cemetery.
Already people are refurbishing
their plots in The cemetery. The day
will be mournful in concentration
of the dead; it will be hopeful in
anticipation of the future. God 5
Acre holds both heroes and family
relatives, dead for today, but with
the immortal hope of tomorrow.
That our citizens have practical faith
in their love to those who have gone
before, is evidenced by the prepare
tons which are now being made for
the strewing of flowers upon the
graves of loved ones next Saturday,
While the day is one of national i'm
pOrtance to Americans, it is Of equal
Importance to all those who have
unfortunately entered the gates of
our metropolis with their heads bow
ed and their hearts quenched in sor-
row. The American flag and the
width of American patriotism for all
patriotic dead will cover even graves.
Let the day be celebrated in this
spirit.
