Mans best friend among animals, the
dog, is to have his devotion put to
another test, states the Chic.so Herald.
He has frequently died while fighting
for his master; he will now be asked to
give up his life as the victim Of disease.
Superstition has long attributed to tho
dog the power of curing consumption,
and many people have eaten the animals
meat with that end in view. Learned
doctors Of this city now propose to have
healthy dogs live and sleep with con.
samptive patients, believing thgt the
germs of the malady will be absorbed by
the lower animal. 1t is claimed that the
experiment has been tried before, with

driven to such desperate measures will
only confirm the public impression that
consumption is ruthless and unmanage
able disease, and one that drives science
to it's wits ends.

The feat accomplished by the Penn.
sylvania Railroad Company some weeks
ago in running a train laden with grain
through from Chicago to Jersey City,
without breaking link or changing lcco-
motives, attracted great, interest at the
time, as nothing like it had ever been
undertaken before in this country. The
transportation department of the com.
pany has compiled the following facts
and figures: ga distance of S24 miles
was trayersed, during which time the
locomotive was not uncoupled from the
train. The total length of the train was
1902 feet and it carried 2,64O, 900
pounds of grain, an average of 60, 200
pounds to each car. The locomotive and
cars were equipped throughout with
Westinghouse brakes. The locomotive
and tender weighed ss, 500 pounds. The
forty thirty -four-foot box cars, with
loads, weighed 3,s24,O pounds, and
the caboosc $4,000 pounds. The total
weight of the train was 4,Q3O, ,OOC

No stronger evidence of the safety oi
electric lighting installations can be
afforded than the fact that great many
explosives factories are now being lit by
electricity. 1t is obvious that build.
ing wherein the preparation OF india n.
mable or highly explosive substances is
carrie on very special care should be
taken in order to avoid even the small.
est risk, and powder manufacturers now
fud that the electric light adds cou-
siderable percentage over gas to tho
chances Of safe operation. While elec-
tricity increases the safety of this branch
Of industry in one way it lessons it in
another. There is a great deal Of FREQ
electricity thrown off in various stages
OF man lfacture, and tho disposition of
this, so far as it can be removed out Of
harms way, is a serious question. The
charge of powder cake press with
ebonte plates may practically be con.
sidered rs an electric pile, ald large
amount of friction or electric influence
from outside may cause sufficient elec-
trio Charge to give off sparks. Several
undisputed cases of this kinl have been
known. Another source OF danger from
friction occurs during the glazing,
rounding end sieving of gunpowder.
The po wder is subjected to constant
rubbing of its PARTICLES against each
other, and during the glazing especially
there is danger of electricity accumula-
ting. Therefore precautions should be
taken in order to convey away any
charge that may accumulate in the glaz
iDs barrels.

statues in one piece, as practiced by
Bcnvenuto Cellini in casting the Perseus.
which has been lost art, has been re.
discovered. The process is callel ccrra
perduce; it is wax process. The clay
model is made, and the plaster repro.
duction is taken from it. From this
the matrix is made, and the matrix is
furnished with core. The matrix is
coated with wax the thickness OF the
bronze. The mould is then heated and
the wax runs out OF hole in the bottom,
then the bronze is poured in. The re-
suits are superior, but the cost is in.
creased by about $1,000 per statue

A Cowardly Murder in ocala, Fla.
That May be Followed bya
Lvuchinr


OCALA, FLA.-There are fears Of
lynching here. Charles Shafer, an old
and much respected resident, was shot
and killed by York Ballard.
Ballard aud hi, younger brother lay in
wait for Sbafer, and when he came up in
his wagon Ballard sprang upon him and
killed him in most cowardly manner.
Several years ago Ballard and Shafer's
stepson loved the Same girl. She favored
young Sbafer.
Ballard began writing scurrilous postal
cards to her. He was discovered and
convicted. When the sentence, six
months in the county Jail, was pro.
nounced, he said it was only short
time to serve, and threatened to kill
Shaf,r.
The Judge then gave him eighteen
months in the Columbus, Ohio, peniten.
tiary. Ballard returned. He gave him.
self up after the murder, but says that
when they met, Shafer attempted to cow
hide him and he shot him in self de-
fence, but the body of the dead nun,
found in the bed of his wagon, contra
diets this assertion. Shafer was about
hfty years Of age. Ballard is only
twenty five years old.

Wonders OF Physical Energy.

The physical energy OF force some

astounding nature, but no one, prior II

in 1890, ever took the trouble to pu

figures that can be understood. Th,
doctor "supposes" things in this way
Supposing a mountaineer weighing 16S
pounds is making the ascent Of peal
1000 feet high. To begin with, h,
must expend an amount of physics
force equal to that found by multiplying
his weight by the height to be ascended
In the case assumed, weight OF 16t
pounds, multiplied by height of 700G
feet, equals 1, 176, 900 foot-pounds; or
in other words, 1, ,176, 900 foot-poundi
have to be lifted one foot. But thb
is not all. The contractions of tk
muscles of the heart have to b.
takel into account, which Is rep
resented by four foot. pounds Of wors
with each contraction, the pulsations O
an adult heart being about seveuty-twG
per minute; in ascending heights it L
:much greater. But, assuming 100 beat
OF the pulse per minute, for simplicity
OF calculation, this would give 400 foot
pounds per minute, or $4,000 foot
pounds per hour, Co iSG, ,00G foos-poundi
for the five hours supposed to be re
quired for ascending the 1000 feet
For expansion and contraction Of chest
and other muscles further item Of 80
600 foot-pounds must be added. Thu
we find the total work performed during
five hours Of mountain climbing to b,
equal to 1895, 900 foot pounds, no
counting other forces exerted. which

Warehouse Company is strong concern
Just started in Cincinnati as rival to

has capital of 100000. The new

ton among tobacco men in Ohio and
Kentucky with "the combine" 1t was
understood by them that "the combine"
aimed at controlling prices and other
matters connected with the business, to
degree that would be very troublesome
