Popular Science.

There is-but one sudden death
among women to every ten among
men.
Horse flesh has come into gen,
eral use among the poor of Europe
as an article of diet
A recently designed incandescent
electric lamp, supported by springs,
is Intended for use in carriages
and other vehicles. \
French community will try
the experiment of supplying
electricity to drive $4,000 looms
scattered saboutin private houses.
The latest use of the electric
motor in replacing human energy
in hemanipnlation Of the death
dealing Calling gun has been sa
found to work with great success.
Three factories in the United:
States consume nearly 100000
eggs q year ia making the peculiar
kind of= paper used by photo
graphers know as albumen paper.
The underground electric rail
way proposed for Paris is to
traverse the city in the direction
Of it's greatest length, which will
cause it approximately to follow
the course of the Seine.
What will be the largest electric
locomotive in the world is being
constructed at Baden, Zurich. II
is to disyelope 1900 to 1000 horse
power, and win make its trial trip
in q few months.
The teak, which has passed into
proverb as the best material for
shipbnilding, is superior TO all
other woods from the fact that it
contains an essential oil which
prevents spikes and nails driven
into it from rusting..
In sawmills using pneumatic
pipes for taking away the sawdust
is found that the back of the
saw usually throws up q good deal
of fine dust in spite of the air
suction. This difficulty has now
been overcome in many instances
} by an invention for admitting air
TO the saw hopper in such way as
to cause it t, impipge on the sides
andteeth Of. the saw and thus give
itan air-blast washing.

WHEN TERROR WILL FLEE.

The history of man might be called
the decline and fall of error. Formerly,
says Walter Besant in the London
Queen, we were afraid of everything
Of the sea. because we knew not what
was beyond it, or what was in it, or
what it might do. 1t had been known to
rise in resistess might and to Whelm
great cities; monsters had been seen in
it calamaries, krakenS, sharks and
whales; the sea was very terrible
thing. Then there was the forest; no
one could tell what might come out of
the forest; wolves were there for GER
tain, and serpents, and very likely
human enemies wanting to kill US.
Then there were the thousand and one
diseases, every one of which was fatal.
And there was the vast unknown world
beyond - filled with enemies, Great
ures like men, but speaking an I'M
known tongue and breathing hatred
-devils they were, not men. When
the universal terror was still un-
conquered, the historian began, and so
we know what it was, and how it held
the people so that they sought by
charms and magic to escape from it
and to get little confidence. Then
they began to find out things, and grad
ually the terror was dispelled. They
crossed the sea and found out what was
Oh the other side; they penetrated the
forests and killed the wild beasts; they
learned strange languages and travelled
in strange lands; they found out how to
ward off disease. Finally there remains
of the old terror only one or two things.
Men fear now nothing but what they
cannot contrOl-some forms of disease !;
earthquakes, lightning and death.
These things can be still further re-
duced; we shall overcome disease; we
shall, perhaps, control the lightning
we shall learn the cause Of earthquakes

Cities Getting Unpopular.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
81 believe that the days of great cities,
as we now understand the term, are
numbered" said Prof. w. b. Cowper,
at the Southern. "Rapid transit has for
years past been spreading the popula-
ton of these immense trade centers
over larger area, and. in my opinion,
this work is just begun. The tendency
is to get farther and farther away from
the dust and heat for home enjoyment,
and trade and industry are creeping
after the population toward the suburbs.
When the science of transportation is
so perfected that journey of thirty
miles represents no greater time nor ex-
pense than one of FIVE now does, you
will soon see cities like st. Louis and
Chicago spread over quadruple of their
present area, and instead of mile after
mile of solid brick and stone, the chief
business districts will be interspersed

A Cent Well Invested.

New York World.
Miss A. j. Anderson, matron of the
Door of Hope, charitable institution
for girls, found a cent In the street. At
that time the Door of Hope was contem-
plating buying cemetery lot in which
to bury the girls who died while in its

ribbons. cardboard and fancy articles

ure texts, and the silk was crocheted
into little rings, which, with strips of
satin sash ribbon. made good photo
graph holders. The fancy articles were
sold at good profits. Now Miss Ander-
son has nearly S12. and she hopes to

The Birthnlark.

Just where Powell street breaks into
Market, there at the southwest corner
of the Baldwin hotel, is an octagonal
cement block set in sidewalk of GENE mt
squares. Ii you will stop any pleasant
afternoon and watch that block Il few
minutes you will see we'll dressed men
come up to it. make cross upon its
surface with their canes, turn and 90
back the way they came. After you
have seen this mummery repeated half
a dozen times you are apt to ask the
reason why.
Few of the men could tell you, except
to say they touched 1t for luck This
OctagOn marks the southwestern limit
of the promenade, which has the corner
of Suffer and Kearney streets for its
northeastern boundary. No we'll
groomed promenader thinks of going
beyond it on his ''prowl." To do SO
would not be good form.
But about the crossing and the luck.

win hotel was Opened-are the only
ones who can tell the reason for 1t.
A post once stood where that octagon
block of cement now is. Against this
post were dashed out the brains of one
of the handsomeSt women of her day.
Her horse ran away with her, and slipped
in turning the corner. She had a red
birthmark between the index finger and
the thumb of her left hand. This, she
said, was her luck mark, aud she surely
won marvelOuSlv OH the stock exchange.
Her admirers used to touch the mark
with their lips, if permitted-to bring
fortune to them.
When they picked her up, dead, the
spot was gone from between her finger
and the thumb. On the post was stain
of blood-just the shape of the mark,
twas said. Z.
Men who loved the woman went to
that post, touched the red stain, and
crossed themselves after that in MEN,
DRY of her.
From this has grown the foolish Gus
tom of drawing cross for luck on the
octagon cement block which marks the
spot where the post stood.
