A Railway Accident,

A singular suit has been brought in a
Vienna court. A firm of electrical engineers
constructed miniature electric railway for
the defendant, who intended it as Christ
mas present for his children. As the de-
fendant pleaded, when the suit for payment
was brought into court, that the electric
railway was a failure-the electro motor
being insufficient to set the train in motion
the Court demanded an "expert opinion"
on the capacity of the apparatus. A day
was appointed for the trial trip, which took
place in the hall of the court, in the pres
ence Of the Judge, reporter, two experts
in electric installations and the representa-
tives of the eontending parties. A large
board, upon which the rails were laid, was
fixed in the hall and the train was set in
motion. At first it moved quite smoothly
along the line, but suddenly the carriages
underwent mighty jolt, the entire train
got off the line, and the drama of 'derail-
ment" in miniature was exhibited before
the commission. The experts declared that
the faulty construction of the rails was the
cause of the accident. The adjustment of
the rails was ordered and another day was
fixed for further trial before the Court.
The moral of which is that it is impossible
nowadays to keep electricity out of any,
thing, even a suit for children's toys

Now Method Of Preserving Logs.

A new method of impregnating logs with
zinc chloride In order to preserve them i,
in use in Austria. The process is very
rapid, and has the additional advantage Of
being applicable to the timber as soon as it
is felled. The zinc chloride solution, which
has specific gravity of 1o1, is forced into
the thick end of the log by force pump.
To this end an iron disc of suitable diane
ter and furnished with cutting rim is
forced into the end of the log and secured
by clamps. The preparatory work for i'm
pregnating each log takes from three to four
minutes When pressure of two or three
atmospheres has been maintained at the
thick end of the log for few minutes the
sap begins to e1ude at the opposite end,
and when this is followed by weak solu-
tion of zinc chloride the operation has been
completed. About two gallons and half
of the solution are required per cubic foot
of timber treated One disadvantage of
the process which has not yet been over
come is that it does not distribute the solu-
tion so uniformly as some other methods

Compress Heater and steriIiser.

A useful appliance has been introduced in
hospitals in the shape of compress heater
and sterilizer. This enables all the advan-
tages of the ordinary compress to be
markedly increased. The points claimed
for the new device are that there is no
moistenlng or wringing Of hot cloths neces-
sary; that it does away with the use Of oil
silk or cotton, as it cannot wet bedclothes
and will retain heat longer than the ordi-
nary compress, and the congresses may be
applied to different patients without wash
ing. as they may be easily sterilized and
freed entirely from germs. The steaming
of poultices and plasters, etc, is facilitated,
and food for infants or invalids may be pre-
pared in the sick room without any escape
of steam. This device is also eminently
adapted for the sterilization Of instruments,
sponges, bandages milk, etc. The steril-
izer IS opened from the side, and thus all
condensation of steam on dressings is
avaided, and any part of the dressing may
be removed at pleasure without rendering
the remainder liable to excessive moisture.

wELLINGT0N's FAMOUS BALL
Bellies and Beaux Who Really Danced the
Dance of Death.

Bellies and Beaux Who Really Danced tho
Dance of Death.
Manchester Times.l
The Duke and Duchess of Richmond were
living in a fine hotel on the Rue de la
Blanchissere which stood on its own
grounds and had a fruit and flower garden
extending to the city ramparts. Their
Graces moved in all the society of Brussels,
and entertained a great deal The Duchess,
who had issued 22O invitations for her ball,
proposed to recall them when she heard that
Napoleon's army was advancing. But the
Duke of Wellington, to prevent alarm, re-
quested that the ball might take place.
Nevertheless, many English families were
frightened away from Brussels, and post
horses were kept harnessed in the Duke of
Richmond's stable, in case bad news from
the scene of the conflict should make it ad-
visable for his children to be sent to Ant
werp. The majority of the people of
Brussels were violent Bonapartists and
great style should he force the British army
to retreat and enter their city in triumph.
So it was that the Duke of Wellington
after the business of the day had been al
tended to. While the merry couples were
flying around, dispatch from the front was
handed to Wellington. He asked the Duke
of Richmond for private room where he
might consult with some of his generals
who were present The Duchess dressing
room was the only convenient room safe
from intrusion. Candles were hastily lit
on the dressing table at which Wellington
sat with map before him, and having ex-
planned certain points to his staff they all
rejoined the company. They left the house
before 10 o'clock, and succeeded in doing so
without attracting any attention. Very
few, if any, of the dancers guessed how
near at hand was the crisis which was to
decide the fate of Europe, and it never en-
tered the heads of the young girls that some
of their partners were dancing the "dance
of death"

Mr.. O'Hoolihan favors more rigid mar

them from publishing their divorce pro-

The Trouble With English Humor.
Asked his opinion regarding English hu-
NOR as compared with Irish and American
humor, he said:
'The English humor OF to-day is of q
restful character, and used mostly as q
means of relaxation. In the days of Thack-
cray and Dickens, Englishmen seemed to
enjoy mirth-provoking humor of the
American order, it seems to me, but now it
runs largely to puns and petty larceny. It
Is sadder humor than ours, good style to
adopt during Lent English humor with
sulphur and treacle can do no harm, I
think.
IAN Englishman came over on Cunarder
the other day, and the passengers put the
customs officers 'on to him because he
seemed to have swollen up so rapidly the
day before he reached New York. But how
do you suppose he got out of it? He told
the officers that the day before he landed the
passengers got him to talking on the tariff,
and before he had an idea of what he was
doing he had enlarged upon It'll
HE turned out to be the song and dance
editor on the staff of Punch, who was COM
ing to America for his health, also for the
purpose of organizing a school of what is
called Whitechapel humor, which is quite
popular in England now"

1t is quite the fashion to attribute to
aluminium adaptability for every conceiv-
able purpose. In the majority of cases
there is some warrant for doing SO. as the
new metal lends itself kindly to all kinds of
conditions and uses, and among these is the
manufacture of artificial noses and ears.
Wonderfully good limitations of these mem
bers were formerly made in wax, celluloid,
wood, porcelain or vulcanite. Vulcanite
was the substance most in favor, from its
lightness, strength and small liability to in
jury. After being vulcanized, the piece
was painted by an artist in oil colors, as
near the color of the skin of the intended
wearer as possible. For attaching it to the
face springs were at first tried, but there
was a strong prejudice against them on &C
count of their supposed tendency to inter-
fere with the circulation and cause irrita-
tion and possibly inflammation or absorp-
tion Of the tissue. Finally it became
customary to keep the nose in the
required position by fixing it to eye glasses,
and in this way the wearer could almost
defy detection. For this purpose alumi-
mum is now in vogue. 1t is strong and
light, and is easily covered with muslin,
which Is afterward painted 1t has thus be-
come matter of even greater ease to adjust
a portion of the nose or ear with perfect
nicely and have it painted to so nearly re-
semble the skin that covers other portions
of the face that the fact would remain un-
known if you met the wearer dozen times
in week. Scores of people are daily met
on the streets who are wearing some such
appliance, and many of them have been do
ing so so long that they have almost for
gotten the fact themselves Five times out
of seven the loss of the nose is caused by ab-
scess centrals which break Just inside the
nostrils. The disease then attacks the bone,
which decays very rapidly. Sometimes
portion of it is saved, but this is the excep-
tion and not the rule.

CURIOUS GENIUS IN NORWAY.
A Lock That Has to Be Opened by Putfs
OF the Breath.

Lock That Has to Be Opened by PufYs
OF the Breath.
Age Of steel.I
A lock constructed on the most curious
scientific principles has lately been e1-
hibited by an inventive genius in Norway.
1t consists of bolt which fastens the door,
and is held in position by a weak spring; q
pendulum is suspended from hook on the
inside of the door, which, when set in mo-
tion, strikes an iron hammer, causing ID to
fall on the head of bolt and press it down
SO as to release it from the fastening of the
door, and hole is bored through the door
opposite the bob of the pendulum, which is
set in motion from the outside by blowing
strongly through the hole. The security Of
the lock thus depends upon the fact that
several puffs of air are necessary to cause
the pendulum to vibrate with a sufficient
amplitude to reach the hammer, and each
successive puff must be given at the exact
moment when the pendulum passes the hole
or opening on its journey toward the ham,
mer.
The exact time ofvibration ofthe pendulum
is made known to the person unlocking the
door by means of second pendulum which
he carries. consisting of O string to one end
of which is attached weight, and provided
at the other end with a loop by which it
can be conveniently attached to hook on
the outside of the door. This KEY pendu-
Ium is previously so adjusted as to length
that it vibrates in exactly the same period
of time as the unlocking pendulum on the
inside of the door, To unlock, the key
pendulum is hung on the outside and set in
motion, and each alternate time it passes its
lowest point the operator blows strongly
through the hole in the door, setting the
unlocking pendulum into synchronous vibra-
tion, which, after few puffs of air, strikes
the hammer and frees the bolt
