me Intramural Railway.

The biggest thing in electricity at
the fair is the intramural railway. An
elevated road, three miles long, with
an equipment capable of moving 5000
people at one time, is operated wholly
by electricity. 1t has run with per-
feet snoothness and control for three
months. The electricians who have
watched it think the practical appllca-
ton of electricity to elevated roads has
been proven. There are eighteen trains,
each consisting of a motor and three
trailers. The electric current is picked
ND from a third rail The largest pos
sible load and the shortest curves seem
to have no effect. The trains move
right along at speed which the mo-
tornan regulates by the turn OF
crank. The first turn starts the car
with the motors working in series and
a speed of five miles is attained. The
next turn puts the motors into multi
pie series, that is, two in series and two
in parallel. A speed of ten miles an hour
results. The third and last turn BY
the naotorraan puts the four motors in
parallel operation, and gives a speed
of twenty miles an hour. The engine
and DYNAMO cost 100000.

The Largest Diamond the in world

An interesting model of the supposed
alargest diamond in the world" has been
sent to the editor of the Birmingham
Daily Post. In letter which he sent
with the model, dated Jagersfontein,
July 2, the correspondent says:
"You may have noticed by cable that
the largest diamond the world has ever
seen has been found here. This place
is all excitement about it, and it may
make stir in the financial world. I
am sending by this post perfect plaster
of-Paris model of the diamond, which
was found on June 30, 1888 This model
was taken by me personally this morn
ng, and is thesonly one which has beenl
taken except one which I have sent this
afternoon to the President of the
Orange Free State by special request.
The diamond was found in the New
Jagersfontein Company's mine. 1t IS
the most perfect large stone ever seen,
it's weight is 97i carats, its color is blue
white and almost perfect. 1t has one
black spot in it, which, however, its
owners stated to me will cut out. Its
value, of course, cannot now be stated,
but 1 think if 50, 900 lbs. were offered for
it now, or even double that amount, 1T
would not be accepted; some even de-
clare that it will be worth half mill
ion. 1t was found by Kaffir, who was
working in the mine, shortly after blast
ing. The Kafir, in this case, was talk
ing to his overseer, when he saw some
thing shine, and he put his foot over it
until his boss had gone away, when
he pic ked up the immense diamond and
put it in his pocket Afterwards, in the
compound, he handed it over to the
manager, for which he has been given
| $50 lbs, horse, saddle and bride, and
has gone home in, no doubt, perfect
happiness. An extraordinary circum-
stance is that one gentleman, or some
gentlemen, I don't know which, were
under contract to buy all stones, good,
bad or indifferent, at so much per carat
THIS contract terminated on June 30,
and this stone was almost, if not quite
the last stone found on that day."
The model shows that the stone is in
the form of a sloping cone fattened on
two sides. and standing on an oval base,
so flush as almost to appear to have been
cut. Its height is about three inches
and its width about two, while the fat
base measures nearly two inches by one
and a quarter The diamond itself,
which has been named the "Jagers-
fontein Excelsior" is now in London.

FRUIT AND CHOLERA.
With Cleanliness and Ripeness Assured,
Fruit is Not Dangerous i'll Cholera
Seasons,

MANY people are grossly mistaken in
their notions about fruit eatlng IN lts
relation to cholera, "says doctor TO
New York reporter, as he helped himself
to another peach "They have an ldea,"
he continued, that fruit taken into the
stomach renders the system more sus-
ceptible to cholera, and thus invites an
attack of the disease. Nothing could be
wider of the mark. 1t is not against
fruit itself but against it's condition
that physicians object during hot wealth
er and in cholera seasons. Fruit that
is ripe, clean and sound may be eaten
safely at all times, while that which is
unripe, unclean or decayed Is always
dangerous no matter whether there is
cholera in the neigh borhood or not.
"The custom so generally observed
of cutting of fruit merely because cholera
threatens an invasion OF our ports is
foolish and reprehensible in the extreme.
Fruit is an important article OF our
natural and best summer diet, and to
abolish it from the table during the hot
weather, substituting for it lot of
other food products of heavier, coarser
and less tempting character, is both
foolish and cruel. My advice is, don't
give up bDc lulu 4hdhC SuIS UubO ~ 10
ripe and clean and then you may eat it
freely without risk. The juices of our
native fruits instead of being debilitat-
ing to the stomach, are among the best
tonics for it. They are cleansing, cool
ing and anti-scorbutic in their action.
They may never have cured q case of
cholera, but when taken after proper
care in the matter of cleanliness they
never led to an attack of that or any
other disease.
"The one great evil to sguard against
in fruit. as in everything else we eat,
is uncleanliness. Don't buy fruit +. IRON s91
street corner dealers whose stock lies al
day exposed to the foul air OF the curps
and cutters, where it is handled ana
picked over by every person VINO Stops
to buy an orange or peach. BUY Oh
your grocer, even if his prices are little
higher, and trust to his integrity and
business tact to give you fruit that is
ripe. cool. clean and fresh. Above all
things, beware of the peddlers who with
carts and trays haunt the side streets
and rear areas, offering fruit which is
as a rule unsound OF of second quality
and not unlikely to have passed through
many hands, some of them foul and un-
clean. It is through such dealers that
disease is spread, and when it happens
that way the senseless cry goes up that
everybody nus6 stop eating fruit 1t is
much as if we should all be told to stop
eating meat merely because our neigh
Dor was served with tainted steak or
bit of immature veal by his butcher. "

Heas and Poultry.

Crowding fowls into close quarters
viii. breed thousands OF lice, but precious
few chicks, remember,
St, ddard says to utilize the feathers Of
the ducks, chickens and turkeys gener-
aiiy thrown aside as refuse, trim the
plume from the stump, inclose them in
q tight bag, rub the whole as If washing
clothes, and you will secure perfectly
uniform and light down, excellent for
quilting coverlets and not few other
purposes.
According TO The American Bee Jour
nal, shade cannot DO relied on to prevent
swarming, but it hes a tendency in that
direction, colony in the open sun being
more likely to swarm than one IN dense
shade, and swarming sooner III the warm
location.
AS soon as chicks leave the hon they
should have place to feed unmolested
Strong colonies protect themselves
against robbers and bee moth.
From Chicken Fixings is clipped this
recipe for scaly legs: Mix 2 drains of coal
jill in 2 ounces of vaseline and use twic>
week until cured.
A Texas apiarian says: Never leave a
newly hived swarm near the place where
it clustered, as you may be surprised by
it's taking to the woods. Remove it to a
stand at distant part of the yard at once
whether all the bees are in or not.
Farm Poultry says that the white and
barred Plymouth Rocks are supposed to
be equal in merit, but the barred nave
been longer bred and are consequently
better known and more popular. we
like both. but if we could keep but one
- those two should take the barred.

TI,e KANGAROO Pest.

The kangaroo pest has always been
great nuisance to the Australian squat
ters. for ON an average these animals
consume as much grass as sheep. 1t
is stated that on sheep run of 10000 to
1000 acres 10000 kangaroos were k1li-
cd annually for six years. and yet their
numbers remained very formidable IN
the locality. In the colony OF South
Australia hundreds of thousands OF kan
garoos are slaughtered annually for their
skins and the bonus offered by the au-
thorities. The number ofsthese marsu-
pals in New South Wales in 1889 was es-
minated to beover 4, 000, 900. and yetabout
500. 1000, kangaroos and $50, GOO wallab1es
were destroyed IN the colony that year.
A bonus of is cents for each kangaroo
killed is offered in Australia; hence the
colonists are gradually discriminating
these native animals. Over 500, 200 skins
are annually shipped to England and
large number to North America to be
converted into eather.-Science Gossip.

ThingsThat Are Told.

1t pays to thin grapes. Pinch out the
extra punches any time after poisoning
is finished and f-uit is set.
Meehan says that the wistaria grows
from root cuttings. Layering, however,
is a very good method where there is
rsom for it.
A landscape architect Of New York
says that the tulip tree stands at the
head of all native trees, not only as an
ornamental, but as clean tree-that is,
freedom from insech.
The Rural New Yorker makes point
that among all evergreen trees on The
Rural grounds nothing is more valued
than the oriental spruce. A feature of
this tree, it states. is not half appreciet-
ed-namely, its beautiful little scarlet
cones that resemble strawberries in
shape and color.
Narcissuses of allsorts live well in the
ground year after var, multiplying and
strengthening if the ground is good.
Success With Fbwers says that the
red spider will mo- flourish in a room

lpLE FLOWERS.
Flow produced Frorn Almost Any Species

,ro,v proauced From Almost ANY Species
Of Plant by the Florist.
Nearlv all the double flowers of gar
dens were first found wild. Double but
terc1ns double primroses, double dali
Sizes double roses. and many other things
we're first discovered amongA their wild
fellows and introduced into the gardens.
The florist. however, can produce double
flowers. says Meehan in his Monthly.
The florist watches this tendency in ma
ture. If a flower usually has five petals
and he discovers that some of the sta
mems have somewhat of petallilze
character, the pollen is taken from these
flowers and others in normal condition
fertilized with this pollen.
This tendency once started is then
given to the progeny Almost any spe-
cies of plant will in this way be capable
of producing double flowers. It is sur
prising that with this knowledge more
attempts at this line of improvement in
ordinary garden flowers are not made.

masterpiece. Life and vigor are i'm
Piled in every line and feature, and the
general effect is one of great beauty.
Combined with this fact is the signifi-
canoe as being probably the largest
figure ever cast in silver ard the sue
cess attendant upon its conception and
production. The statue is somewhat
more than life size, being slightly over
six feet in height and standing on
silver pedestal about a foot high.
Thirty thousand ounces OF sterling
silver, 1851, 900 pure, was used in cast
ing. The finish is such as best to pre-
serve the whole vigor and spirit OF the
sculptor's model rather than as speci-
men of the chaser's art. The metal
is finished in the oxidized form, thus
allowing much more expression IN
Iirht and shade effects than as thodgh
highly polished. The latter style OF
finish would give simply colorless,
lifeless picture, unrelieved by darker
tints.
The process of casting was not essen
TALLY different from the ordinary
mode Of procedure IN bronze, except
that more care was taken III tne ue-
tails. The sculptor first made in clay
his complete model exactly as 1t is to
appear in the finished statue. Then a
mold was taken of the model by ap-
plying heavy layer of plaster OF
paris. The plaster mold was then re-
moved 10 arched sections, so that be-
ing removed they could be placed to-
gether so as to form complete figure
with the outlines on the interior.
From this mold plaster of paris cast
was made, thus reproducing in plaster
the identical figure first modelled IN
clay. The plaster cast, covered first
with a coating of shellac to prevent
the absorption of moisture, was then
ready for the founder, and in this
form was shipped from the studio of
the sculptor at Paris to the works
where it was cast, at Providence, Il. l.
