THE theory that healthy food In
sufficient quantity and filtered water
are the most efflcacious preventiVes
Of cholera has received a striking
demonstration during the recent
grand maneuvers of the Austrian
army. A force of over $4,000 men
was gathered together in a province
of the empire officially declared to be
cholera-strlcken, and where the
scourge Is raging with great viru-
lence among the impoverished peas
antry. Notwithstanding the fact
that the maneuvers extended over a
period Of several weeks, during which
the men were exposed to all kinds Of
hardships and were even quartered
in cholera-infested villages, yet there
has not been single case of cholera
among them. In connection with
this, it may be mentioned that dur
ing the last great cholera epidemic in
Egypt there was only one govern
ment department that did not lose a
single man from the malady. AS
soon as the latter broke out the man
agement Of the state railroads i'm
mediately took steps to have each of
its employees supplied with good and
sufficient food, particularly bread and
meat, at government expense, with
the result as indicated. 1t is mainly
people whose digestive organs are i'm
paired, and rendered representative
by inadequate and unhealthy food or
by polluted water, who are exposed
to the danger of the contagion of
cholera.

THE terrible accidents on the Mich
igan Central and Grand Trunk Rail-
roads bring the seasons list Of killed
and wounded on the roads centering
at Chicago to over 300. This is a terri
Bile record, and there is no excuse for
it. The railroad companies had plen-
ty Of time to prepare for the Worlds
Fair business, and should have
equipped their roads for it. In too
many cases, however, they have been
intent upon reaping great harvest
of profits rather than in promoting
the welfare of the public The
method of running excursion trains
in sections is doubtless necessary, but
it has proved very perilous to life and
limb Scarcely week passed that
rear-end collision did not occur some
where In the West. These calami-
ties have been accounted for in vari-
Gus ways, but in no case has there
been an accident of this kind which
was not preventable. The accident
on the Michigan Central is ascribed
to the failure Of the air-brake at the
critical moment, but is there any
good reason why the air-brake should
be liable to get out Of order at such
a momentp If the contrivance was
defective, its defect should have been
discovered by inspection The Grand
Trunk slaughter was the result of
awful and criminal carelessness. The
Worlds Fair year should have been
the occasion Of the exhibit of q per-
feet railroad system. On the con-
trary, it has shown that many of our
railroads are recklessly managed.

A Queer Dwelling.

Arizona is literally covered with
the ruins of strange habitations.
Most Of them are constructed Of con-
crete or adobe, and the mystery about
them is the identity Of the people
who designed them. How they could
be built is not a matter Of conjecture,
as the materials are close at hand.
But there is one ruin, although still
in good state Of preservation, that
is a mystery, no matter in what light
it is considered.
1t is in the Huachucba mountains,
not far from the military reservation,
in a northeastern direction. Nothing
is known Of it's origin, and the won.
derful part is the material Of which
it is constructed.
1t is about two hundred miles from
the ocean, and surrounded on all
sides by hills of sand and rocks GOV.
cred with cacti. There is no water
for miles, except the excuses for riv,
ers that run during the rainy season.
There is not even suggestion Of
water, and yet the house is built Of
sea shells laid in sort of cement.
Where the shells were obtained is
a mystery that may never be solved
1T does not seem possible that the
builder of the house would carry the
material over hundreds of miles Of
desert when there were plenty of
rocks near by that would answer the
purpose just as well, even though
they were not so unique.
The house is built in the shape of
the straw huts Of the Papago Indians,
and is about the same size. There is
room inside for five or six persons,
but at present nobody occupies it, ex-
cept perhaps, some prospector, who
uses it for temporary shelter in cold
weather.
There are dozen varieties of shells
to be found in the walls, and one
over the door is of extraordinary size.
The age Of the building will never
be known, but there is little doubt
but that it is as old as the oldest in
the Territory.

secutors flying in all directions; all
except the ring-leader, which fell
sprawling in the middle of the street,
and was beginning to get the drub-
bling he deserved, when things took a
very sudden turn.
A cable car came dashing down the
hill, with Changing bell, right upon
the dogs. Nobody is expected to
warn dogs Of danger, and so the car
was almost upon them when the
policeman cried, "Get out" The big
dog saw the danger and sprung aside,
but his late assailant was on his
back and too much in dread Of his
punishment to see anything else.
There he lay, and in second more
would be crushed. The Newfound-
land saw the situation, and, after he
had partly turned away, sprung back
and snatched him, still whining
and begging for mercy, out Of the
very Jaws Of death, He laid him in
the gutter, and then, as though
further retaliation had entirely es-
capped his mind, he gave good
natured wag or two Of his tail and
started on up the street.

MOVEMENT OF THE RIM OF A WHEEL

The linear velocity about the hub of
all points in the wheel is proportion.
ate to their distance from the center,
whether above or below the center.
With reference to the ground or a
stationary object the top of the wheel
advances the faster, but as every
point in the wheel is consecutively
assuming that position the forward
motion of the wheel as whole, is, OF
course, the same. In the accom-.
panying sketch the top Of a wheel is
marked A, the bottom B. AS the
wheel makes a half revolution,
bringing A to the bottom and
B to the top, these points are
carried through paths indicated by
the dotted lines During the first
quarter revolution A has gone to AL,
B only to b, but during the next
quarter A goes only to Az, while B
goes to B2. The curve traced is a
cycloid. While the point B was be"
low the hub it went ahead only the
distance x; when it was above it went
ahead with reference to the ground
the distance y. When A was above
the center it went ahead the distance
m, after it fell below the center it
only made the distance in the same
time, but plus y equals m plus n.
The apparent anomaly that different
parts Of the same wheel can travel at
different speeds is explained by re-
membering that it is the speed as
between one part of the wheel and a
stationary object, not as between
different parts of the same wheel
that is considered. In the first posi-
tion A and B are at equal distances
from a point in front of the carriage.
In the second position A is ahead OF
B in the direction Of movement Of
the carriage a distance to the diane
ter Of the wheel. In the third posi-
tion they are again even, for one
loses below the center as much as the
other gains above.

CHICAGO HERALD; Business men
generally can do no better than fol-
low the example set by the banks,
which on Saturday inaugurated the
rule Of closing their doors at noon on
that day of the week the year round.
Chicagoans work too hard, and their
eager pursuit Of the nimble dollar has
formed the basis for all sorts Of houts
and jeers aimed at them by the in
habitants Of other cities. Keen ac-
tivlty and strict attention to bust
ness are we'll and proper They are
the qualities that have built up Chi
cago But they have been carried
too far. Chicago is no longer half
developed town with "boom" on. 1t
is mature, steady-going metropolis,
with great future, it is true, but
with no necessity for continuing the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. methods Of ante
fire days Business and business
methods are firmly established. 1t is
no longer needed to work day and
night or even the full six days Of the
week. The Saturday half holiday is
a beneflcent and sanatory institution.
1t marks an advanced civilization,
and as matter Of fact it is adj
vantageous even from a financial
standpoint. Men will do more work
in five and a half days than in six
days, and they will do their work bet
ter. From any point Of view, there
fore, the half holiday is profitable,
and Chicago business men should,
with their usual sagacity, avail them
selves Of Its advantages.

Ever since the well-known Chau-

been an insistent demand for short,
well-planned and low-priced course of
reading for the thousands for whom
the above circle course is too expen-

The Bay View Reading Circle has
been organized to meet the demand.
Many of the leading educators and

its promoters, and Mr.. ]. NJ. Hall, Of
Flint, Mich, is the Superintendent
To him application should be made

the advantage Of specializing sub
