The Hor.e-power Of whale.

The horsepower of a whale has been
made subject of study by the eminent
anatomist, Sir William Turner, of the Uni
versity of Edinburgh. Scotland, in conjunc-
ton with the equally eminent Glasgow
shipbuilder, John Henderson. The size
and dimensions of a great finner stranded
several years ago on the shore at Longriddy
furnished the necessary data for compu-
tatou of the power necessary to prOpel il at
speed of II miles an hour. This
whale measured so feet in length, 20
feet across at the flanges of the tail, and
weighed IA tons. To attain speed OF IL
miles per hour it was calculated that I45
horsepower was necessary.

Can we live on and let no power divide us2

An Electric Equine.

George e. Benton, who resides on In
diana avenue, has discovered ar electric
horse. Benton stepped from a street
car at Wabash and Eighteenth street
while the horses were being trotted. He
placed his hand on the flank Of one of
the animals, a bay mare, and received q
tremendous shock. The car was at
tached to a cable train and sped onward.
After it had gone a block Benton re-
turned and experienced n succession of
slight shocks, which gradually died
away as the mare became cooler from
standing. Benton then had the mare
trotted up and down the street for ten
minutes. She came back in a foam and
was taken mt once to the damp ground.
A dozen men then formed hands, first
wetting the soles of their shoes thor
oughly in the horse trough. As Benton
put his hands Cd the mare every man
distinctly felt the shock. Now one
man let go at IA time" shouted Benton.
and they did so. the shock intensifying
AZ each man fell out, SO that at last, when
the number was reduced to three, the
next man cried out, "Some of you
fcllers catch hold again; ] can't stand
this"
Mr.. Benton sent the mare trotting
again, and meantime climbed a lamp
post. Another man climbed after him
and caught hold of his hand. He clasped
the post firmly with his legs and gave
his ~disengaged hand to "a third nan who
in turn placed his hand on the mares
flank. Benton turned on the gas jet
and put his index finger on. the nozzle Of
the jet. Instantly a series of sparks
flashed through the living chain from
the excited horse and the gas blazed up.
Benton was so exhausted by this last *
pertinent that lie had to be taken down
from the lamp post. The manager of a

ono Troui,ie with the New Dimes.

The new coins out from the mint this
year have run against various objections
based on aesthetic grounds. 1t has re-
manned for Il Washington man about
town to discover that the dimes are a
failure from IL practical standpoint. He
has detected a defect beside which the
bullheadcdness of the goddess of liberty
and tho eagles attcnnated wings are
mere trif1es.
This gentleman dropped into the thea
ter Oh u recent evening, and being seized
with "a desire to ascertain whether the
diamonds worn by the star were genu-
inc, turned toward the opera glass case
attached to the back of the next chair.
He tished a new dime from his pocket
and was about to drop the am into the
slot, according to established usage,
when he found that his dime would not
enter. Further investigation with other
dimes and slots in the vicinity shovel
that the new coinage Is Il mistit for one
of its most universal purposes.
The grave question arises; What is t.

dimes drop out of circulation? The slot
