! we]l-known practitioner

A well-known practitioner of medicine says: Probably you have noticed the tendency of epidemic diseases torun themselves out, even in districts where no precautionary measures are taken. It has been shown in the history of every great plague-the black death,' cholera and the rest, and now it is illus trated in the grip. We have the grip with us again, as you know, and there has been few fatal cases of it, but it is nothing to what it was in it's first and second season. Then, you remember, there were in- stances where 1t was fatal within twenty-four hours, and it's effects were more severe and more lasting than they have been since. This is regular grip weather, yet the grip is slowly dying out. Diseases die as well as the people who have them." New York Sun.

In New Jersey, on branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, seven miles from Belmar and four from New Bedford, is the deserted village of Allaire. It stands in the center of a tract of cultivated land, over one thousand acres in extent. The score or more of buildings are built in the colonial style, which would iE- dicate their age to be over one hun dred years, at least. The most i'm portant of the ruins, as showing the kind of work which was once done there, is that of a large iron foun- dry. The old church in which the villagers once worshipped is kept in good repair and is still used by the church-going people of the sur rounding country. The story runs that the village was deserted on the failure of the company owning the foundry.

According to the English papers glass houses may be one of the fea- lures of the not far distant future. They say that stone and brick are not unlikely to be superseded as building material by blocks of glass. They would unnecessarily be trans parent, and as they would be cast of large size the process of erection would move forward with great ra- pidity. Glass has the reputation of being moisture-proof and inde- structible, and as it need not to be of fine quality, it is estimated that it would be as cheap as brick or stone. It will readily be noted that the glass may be colored to suit the whim of the builder, and a man may easily live in a house refecting all the colors of the rainbow.-New Orleans Picayune.

In nature. marble is made out of chalk by water, which percolates through the chalky deposits, dis solves the chalk particle, and crys- tallizes it, mountain pressure solid flying it. It has been found that similar results may be accomplish ed by chemical means. First, slices of chalk are dipped into a color bath, staining them with tints that will initiate any kind of marble known. For this purpose the same mineral stains are used as are en- ployed in nature. For example, to produce counterfeits 'verde anti que," oxide of copper is utilized. In like manner, green, pink, black and other colorings are obtained. Next, the chalk slices go into an other bath, by which they are har- dened and crystallized, coming out, to all intents and purposes. real marble.-London Science Siftings.

The first electric locomotive has been built at Lynn and is now in practical operation in the yard of the General Electric Company. While all the railroads have recog- nized that it was but a question of time when steam as motive power would give way to electricity, it has remained for the Boston and Maine Railroad to take the first step to- ward having a part of their line electrically equipped. The Cres- cent Beach branch of this road has been selected for the trial of the new electric locomotive, and work will soon be begun looking toward equip ping the road for electric locomo- tives, which will haul the freight and passenger trains over that branch of the Boston and Maine system. The overhead trolley con- struction will be used. It is expect ed that the electrical equipment of the road will be finished by May 1. The power will probably be furnish ed from the Lynn River Works of of the General Electric Company. Springfield (Mass.) Republican.

Mr.. A. G. Correa, young lawyer,
is cited to appear before Justice

Thursday, May 25, to show cause

Of the Circuit Court. 1t is alleged
that he knew she medtated taking
fight, to evade two writs of the
Court-one to show cause why she
should not be committed for con
tempt, in disobeying the decree of
the Court awarding the custody of
her child to the father, while a
a divorce suit was pending between
him and herself; the other of habeas

the child in Court. 1t is further al
legged that Mrs. Ramos was in the
lawyers office until noon the day
she escaped, leaving there to go to
her house ON Queen street for the
child, with whom she embarked on
the barkentine Hilo for San Fran
cisco, and that Correa was on the
wharf and saw the woman on the
vessel
