why Electric Cars Move Evenly.

DO you know why an electric car
goes up hill slowly. as though drawn
BY pony m,,les2" asked an electrician
the other day.
well, I'll tell you" said he.
There is certain amount of volt
age or electromotive force distlib
uted over the line, and In order to
keep each car running at a general
average rate of speed no car can be
allowed to usurp more than It's share
of pressure. For instance. if one
electric car should be thrown wide
open and permitted to run up hill at
the same rate OF speed it descends u
hill it would for q minute reduce the
time of every other car on the road.
Hence the motormen have positive
orders about slowing down at every
pronounced rise in the roadbed. st.

The Spider Hawk.

Tho miners of Colorado who have
built cabins on the mountain sides
know what pest tho small brown
wood spider proves to be. They
thrown their webs over our best
clothes, cooking utensils, in every
corner, where you can get them In
your eyes md mouth. Not only that,
but they viii drop into the frying
pan, water bucket or upon the table
where you are eating. Nature has
furnished remedy and friend
when she gave tho spider hawk.
The name is given by miners to p
small, steel blue wasp almosr tire
fourths Of an inch in length. Flo can
easily be recognized by the quick,
nervous strokes of his wings. They
build nest up among tho rafters Of
your cabin of wood pulp or furze
from the outer coating of old dead
trees Then they arc ready for busi-
ness.
Every few minutes you can see
your hawk climb up tho rafters with
O spider, sometimes carrying one four
or five times his own weight Some
times they get spider 80 heavy that
they will fall many times before
they succeed in reaching their nest.
They mover give up, but keep on try
ing until they succeed. When the
spider Is safely placed in tho most the
female hawk deposits her egg in the
dead body. The hawks live only in
pairs, as far as my observation goes.
They become rather tame and seem
to be obliged to you for building the
spider trap for their beneft-Great

. A Radical Cure.

The pastor Of church in a mining
village was greatly annoyed by the
conduct Of the younger members Of
the flock.
When a young woman got tired
of the evening sermon she would rise
and go out. A moment later her
beau" would seize his hat and sheep
ishly follow her to escort her home.
By the time the sermon was over
it was mostly the old people who
were left to hear the conclusion of it.
MIR. Blank smothered his annoyance
for some time. At last he resolved
to act.
A youth grew sleepy one Sunday
evening, and picking up his coat and
hat stepped into the aisle. To his
dismay the minister stopped short In
his discourse.
Young man." he said, 1.-The lady
who went out last is not the one you
wish to escort home. When she goes
| will let you know. Sit down. In
future when a young woman goes
out | will call on the proper young
man to take care of her."
He resumed his sermon. There
was much giggling and a great deal
OF wrath. But his sermons were not
interrupted again during the whole
winter. Yankee Blade.

Oil IN MISSOURI


II "a Too Thick and Too Hard TO Got 90
De OK Very Great Use.
The only oil produced IN Missouri
IN 1889 and 1890, concerning which It
has been possible to secure any in
formation by the geological survey,
was in West Boone township, Bates
county, near the Kansas state line,
southeast from Paola, where the oil
produced in Kansas in 1889 wne
found. The oil comes from sand 220
feet deep. 1t is similar in every re-
spect to the Kansas OIL 1t is sold to
local dealers for lubricating purposes.
In 1889 twenty barrels of oil, valued
st $40, were produced.
The cost of operating the well in
that year was $3.50, the total capital
$3.50. The territory consists of 600
acres, valued as oil territory at $40,
the rigs, well, engines, etc, being
valued at $500 and tank at $50. There
was but one producing well and one
tank. The cost of drilling the well
was but 81. 80 O foot
An Interesting history is connected
with the drilling Of some wells at
Adrian, Bates county, Mo. Oil was
discovered here in 1889 at a depth of
thirty-three feet while prospecting
for coal. The oil sand was some
twenty-five feet thick, overlaid wish
soapstone shale to thickness of
eight feet.
The oil oozed from rock into the
shaft and was bailed out. Tho shaft
was In the creek bottom, ard being
flooded by the first high water the
well ceased to produce. Seversl drill
holes wero then made. Three of
these yielded about six gallons in
ten hours, but she holes were not
cased and were soon drained out by
water In 1883 derrick was erected,
proper oil tools procured and a well
sunk over 500 feet. All the oil Sc
cured in this VOL was found at from
thirty-three to ninety feet in depth.
The well was pumped but once, and
then only for ten hours, the product
being twenty gallons Of oil, with a
largo quantity of water.
Tho oil is similar to that found in
Paola> In report to the geological
survey, r. B. Marshall, of Adrian,
states that he has done o great deal
of prospecting for oil in that section
of the country, and finds strip of
territory some ton miles long and
from one to three miles wide under
laid with gas and oil, but that the
difficulty with the region as pro
ducing territory is that the sand is
too fine and the oil too thick to give
any great production. There is a
great deal of sand rock impregnated
with oil, which can be driven out by
heat.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat,

Taxing the Eyes.

The eyes should never be severely
taxed when it can be avoided. Thii

very delicate servants are SO marvel

that they will stand great amount
of hard work, If the conditions are
favorable, without injury. Some Of
the most injurious practices are those
connected with reading, especially
the modern fine type and poorly

railroad trains or street cars is to be
avoided if possible, since the vibra

breaks the focus and imposes o severe

Little Essay for a Tea Party.

Did you ever think about the logic

do if you give her a chance. In how
short time will she revive the over

and the balance and serenity are re-
stored. A clean creature needs 50

is something as miraculous as the
gospels in it Later in life society
becomes a stimulus. Occasionally

KAUAI NOTES.

This island, generally speaking,
is rather quiet, very little doing
except on the plantations, and
the re things are pretty lively, as
usual in grinding season.
Gathering shells on the sea
shore is and has been for some
time past quite craze, especially
with those who live at Hanalei,
Kilauea and Kealia, some having
succeeded in collecting quite
number of valuable shells and
specimens which, "of course"
money cannot buy. Moonlight
Smelling parties are all the go, and
are very enjoyable.
Mr.. Johnston, the blacksmith of
Lihue, is the happy father of fine
boy of which he is justly proud.
The Kauai Industrial School for
boys has been for some time in
straits, and it was feared by it's
friends that it might fail financi-
ally but a few of them went to
work with a will and it is now
hoped that the institution will pull
through. The example of the
teachers has been praiseworthy, the
ladies giving their services free for
the past three months. Miss Juliet
Smith is now in Honolulu, and
hopes to secure help for this object.
Her zeal is untiring in this direc-
ton. It is thought that in time
the Industrial School will prove
self-supporting.
