the rear of the coach ahead would slide

instead of one forcing its way into the

the scheme have not been worked out,
nor has it been submitted to practical
carbuilder for criticism. The re-
arrangement of steps, such as would
be necessary, is indicated in the rough
drawing submitted. Some modifica-
ton of the buffer system would also be
required, SO that the ordinary harm

a coach off its truck. If this feature
could be satisfactorily arranged the

Theory About Bee stings.

1t is fact not generally known that
if one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with impun-
ity. The sting becomes sting-proof,
and holding the insect by the feet and
giving her full liberty of action you
can see her drive her weapon against
the impenetrable surface with a force
which lifts her body at every stroke;
but let the smallest quantity of air es-
cape from the lungs and the sting will
penetrate at once. have never seen
an exception to this in twenty-five
years observation. have taught
young ladies with very delicate hands
to astonish their friends by the per-
Torrance of this feat, and saw one
SO severely stung as to require the
services of a physician, through laugh
ing at witty remark of her sister,
forgetting that laughing required
breath. For theory in explanation
am led to believe that holding the
breath partially closes the pores of the
skin. My experiments in that direc-
ton have not been exact enough to be
of any scientific value, but am salts
fed that it very sensib1y affects the
amount of insensible perspiration.-

Boston, June 6-President Angel, of

and ofsthe Massachusetts, Society of the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, pub
fishes the following:
81 received on Saturday a letter from a
man, whose name 1 do not feel at liberty
to give, saying that my offer, in behalf of
our humane societies, of 800 to the man
or woman who should do the most to stop
the cowboy race at Chicago, was not
enough, but that if would offer $3.50 he
could insure the stopping.
81 wrote him that if he could succeed in
preventing the race and prove that he had
done it, I would undertake in behalf of our
Humane Societies to pay him the $3.50.
"Since then l have received another letter
from a life member of our American HUI
name Education Society, authorizing me
to offer to the committee of the race an
additional sum of 5000 as prizes, provided
that the prizes should only be given to
horses that reached Chicago in good con-
dition and showing no signs of abuse.

which give the following extract

GOODNESS OF SPACE.
1t Robs the Earth of Heat with Unrelent-
ing Cruelty.

1t Robs tho Earth of Heat with Unre1ent-
ing Cruelty.
We rarely realize how easily the
earth parts with it's heat, and how cold
space is through which the earth
sweeps in it's orbit. Nor do we COM
monty appreciate how relentlessly
space sucks away the heat which the
earth has garnered from the sunbeams
out into it's illimitable depths, says
writer in Harper's Magazine. Way out
in space is cold so intense that we
fairly fail to grasp it's meaning. Per-
haps 300 degrees or 400 below the freez-
ing point of water, some philosophers
think, are the dark recesses beyond
our atmosphere. And night and day,
summer and winter, this Unsuitable
space is robbing US of our heat and
fighting with demoniac power to re-
duce our globe to it's own bitter chill.
So, after all, our summer and winter
temperature are only maintained by
the residue of the suns heat which we
have been able to store up and keep
hold of in spite of the pitiless demands
of space. Our margin sometimes gets
so reduced on nights in winter that we
can readily believe the astronomers
and physicians when they tell us that
a reduction of the suns heat by seven
per cent. and slight increase in the
number of winter days would suffice to
bring again to our hemisphere new
age of ice with its inevitable desola-
ton. The balance is really nice one
between the heat we gather from the
sun and that which we lose in space.

The grandest that ever was seen.

And 1T turns with a rush. and a rumbling sound
As gaze on its emerald sheen.

And fit past our faces like phantoms of light,
Then circle away, and away.

They fan US with breath of delicious perfume
And hasten away as If to make room
For the hillsides appearing in view.

And backward is striving to flee.

Plows on through the green, growing maize
While that barefooted boy, on that old bay

And now whole city comes laundering on,
With its mansions and monuments high;

Reported That There is Danger of a Rev

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Semi- official re-
ports from Peru indicate a threatened rev.
olution in that country. A private letter
from Lima represents critical political
situation and there is danger of revolu-
ton before the presidential election.
The unpopularity of the candidate for
the Presidency and the old controversy
about the nitrate beds, of which Chilli as
sumed control at the close of the war with
Peru, is the cause of the unrest.

wetting Coal Before Firing.

Here is an argument in favor of wet
ting coal before firing that has the
merit of plausibility; we do not know
its origin: cat large electric light
plant, asked the chief why they wet
the slack. He said it burnt better and
made a clearer fire. So it does, but
that is not all. Unwet coal expands in
coking, but wet coal expands more,
and that in proportion to the amount
of hydrogen. But the expansion, pores
and cells are formed, which admit the
adjacent air freely, drawing it in and
using it in the production of carbonic
acid. The more uniform and the more
porous the coal, the more accessible it
is to oxygen, and the more complete
will be the combustion, by which the
smoke is reduced to minimum"

FISH AND FISHERMEN.

THE shark is the oldest type of fish.
THE water in a mine at Ashland,
Mich, is said to be full of eyeless fish.
A WATER pipe in Washington was re-
Gently stopped up by a young eel about
a foot in length.
FISH in the royal aquarium at ST.
Petersburg are still alive after. having
been on exhibition for more than one
hundred and fifty years.
No FEWER than twenty-five thousand
peach-shaped jelly fish were counted
in cubic foot of phosphorescent
water taken from the sea on the Eng
1ish coast.
THE Japanese have a remarkable
pound-net arrangement that scoops
vast quantities of fish into an enor-
nous bag of netting hanging beneath
the bottom of vessel. In this re-
ceptacle something like thirty times
the cargo can be conveyed to market
than could be carried by the ship in
the ordinary way.
MIR. CLEvELAND's remark that he is
credited with many fish that he never
caught seems to eliminate him from
the list of expert fishermen. A dis
ciple of the rod and line who doesn't
claim bigger catch than he is entitled
to has not acquired one of the first
principles of the sport.

INFECTION in MUMPS.
According to DIR. Rendu 1t Is ConveyG
nv Of

According to DIR. Rendu 1t Is Conveyed
by Means of Breath.
The question as to the transmission
of the infectious diseases and the ex-
act stage of the disease at which in
lection is most likely to occur has been
satisfactorily settled regarding most
of the exanthemata. In munps, how
ever, the case is different, some author
tiles maintaining that the disease may
prove infectious throughout the whole
of its course, while others are of
opinion that this is only the case at the
commencement of the attack. DIR.
Rendu, in paper read before the So
ciete Medicale DIES Hopitaux, related
two cases which are valuable as throw
ing light upon this point. A young
lady visited her mother on January 2,
who complained of slight malaise; on
the following day, however, she de-
veloped mumps. On January "a her
daughter, who had seen her on the I'd,
but not since, was likewise attacked.
In the interval she had seen no person
who was suffering from the disease.
DR.. Rendu argues, therefore, that a
case may be infectious even before the
characteristic parotid swelling has
made its appearance. A second case
was very similar to this one. A child
ten years old was attacked after being
in company with friend who, al
though then showing no signs of the
disease, was found a few hours after
ward to be suffering from it. Mumps
is, therefore, evidently infectious at
the termination of the period of incu-
baton. DIR. Rendu is of opinion that
infection is conveyed by means of the
