slow and expensive product of the
 silk worm. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.
 NJ. Scherer, Frenchman, has in-
 vented a clever but simple method
 of electrically doing to death gnats,
 flies, and similar pests. The only
 drawback is that he requires an cleo
 trie battery giving constant cur
 rent. But as many hotels, public and
 private buildings in warm climates
 are now lighted by electrIcty, there
 can be little difficulty in setting up
 economical, effective, and perfectly
 safe death traps for erial pests.
 His device is very simple. He takes candle, lamp, or torch and places 1t within a cage of metallic wire gauge. This metallic gauge is con nected with the poles of an electric machine, and duly charged with the electric current. The gnats, mosquitoes, flies and wasps fly to the light, touch the electrified metal and are instantly killed. There is no possibilities of their flying about half dead, and, as in the case with certain traps, conveying poison about the place. During the day the light can be replaced by some bait, raw meat, etc, to which the in- sect pests fly with alacrity and meet their doom.-London Globe.
 The most experienced railroad men feel that the possibilities of steam practice are nearly reached much greater speed is not practica- ble, A maximum of ninety miles per hour, with a running speed of sixty 10 seventy, is all that can be hoped for under the very best con- dition which car be provided. The are numerous and they are we'll known to all engineers. The maximum speed of which a locomotive is capable has not been materially increased in number of years. The scheduled time has been shortened principally by cut ting down grades, straightening curves, filling up ravines and replac- ing wooden structurers by perma- nent ones of iron or stone; by the | use of heavy rails, safer switches, method of signalling, the | switch and signal system, the abolition of grade crossings; in short, by improve ments in detail and management which permit a higher speed on a more extended section of road be- cause of greater safety and the greater degree of confidence inspired in the engine-driver.-The Forum.
