RAIL AND oRossTIE.

The history OF electric railways as written
In HdrpeI's Weekly is an interesting colla-
ton of facts. At the close of 1891 there
were in this country 1859 miles of street
railway, with 55,S77 cars. OF these a. Ofl
miles were electric and $500 cars were
electric. The total OF horse, cable and
electric mileage had increased during the
year 1871 ], 400 miles, but electricity stands
ing by itself had increased during the year
8, $50 cars. OF this number $500 were pro-
PEELED by electricity. There were q. the end
OF the year seven times as many miles Of
electric road as cable, and almost twice as
many electric cars as there were cable cara
There were, at the end Of the year, something
over 400 electric roads In operation in Ameri-
ca. Last March it was estimated that OF the
sixteen cities in the United States having
over 200, 600 inhabitants, fourteen, or 81 per
cent. were equipped with electric roads. or
the forty-two cities having between 10000
and 100000 Inhabitants, fourteen, or 9715
per cent. had electric roads. or the re-
manning 39l cities, with population of over
5000, it 10 said that there are not q score
that have not electric roads, or are not pre-
pairing to introduce the system. Since March
every one OF the larger cities referred to as
exceptions in the above percentages have
fallen into line with the formal approval of
this comparatively new method of rapid
transit The investment to date is said TO
reach over 100000 900.
A change Of schedule will take place on
the Charleston and Savannah railway TO-
day. Train No. SO will leave Savannah at
9 O'Clock a. M, instead of $50 aud will ar
rive at Charleston at $3.50 p. IN. The train

CAME BACK TO LIFE.
1t Took Two Trials to Kill Murderer Tay-
lor at Auburn.

1T Took Two Trials to hiH murderer lay
lor at Auburn.
The execution at Auburn, Il. T.,
state prison. during the past week,
of William G. Taylor, who was SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair for
the murder of a fellow convict in
Clinton prison, caused almost as great
q sensation as the execution of Kemm-
Ter, three years ago. After the usual
preparations, Taylor was seated in the
death chair, and the current turned
on. The moment the full voltage was
switched into his body the rigidity of
the muscles became 50 great that the
front supports to the chair, to which
his legs were strapped, were torn
FRONT heir fastenings and fell upon the
floor with clatter When the current
ceased, the body fell back from its
rigid position, and strange sounds and
saliva came from the mouth OF the
victim, which was not entirely con-
cealed by the death mask. There was
evidently a spasmOdic attempt to
breathe, and the warden ordered the
electrician to renew the contact. TO
the surprise Of all, no current came.
Here was dilemma The labored
breathing of of the victim continued
and his chest rose and fell convulslvo-.
ly. The body had assumed a reclin-
ing posture in the chair, with the legs
stretched well out upon the floor. Mr..
Davis tried his lever again, but sill!
no response. Taylor was now breath
ing regularly, but sentoriously, and
those who did not know that he was
unconscious expected to hear him cry
out. 1t was learned that the arma-
ture had been burned out. 1t could be
used no more during the day. The
straps were removed from Taylor. a
cot was brought in and he was lifted
upon it and carried into the next
room He was now groaning aloud
and moving his head from side to side.
His eyes were closed, but his features
were not distorted from pain. Tay
lor's pulse grew stronger, and his
breathing seemed less labored. He at
tempted to rise from his cot. 1t was
necessary for the keepers to pinion his
arms and legs. DR.. Conway gave him
a hypoder1nic injection Of morphine
to quiet his struggles. He was asked
If the patient would recover with suffi-
cient time, and he replied, "Most as
suredly."
It became necessary to use anaes-
thetics upon Taylor to prevent his re-
turning to consciousness Meantime.
it had been found that the dynamo
was useless, and immediate steps were
taken to make connection with the city
electric light plant This took nearly
an hour, when Taylor was borne to
the death chair, strapped In, and the
current again turned on. He died in
stantfy after the second shock.
Electrician Davis was asked to ex-
plain the failure Of the dynamo. He
replied that 1t was simply the burn
ing out Of the armature, something
thht could not be foreseen, and yet
was liable to happen to any dynamo
The attending physicians decided that
Taylor felt no pain after the first elec-
tric shock.

Besieced by Great Land Grabs.

Our laboratory in Jamaica was on
the side of q rocky limestone hill,
honeycombed in all directions by
cracks and fissures and large caves, all
inhabited by big Iand-crabs. which
came out every night, usually in pairs,
to forage around our home. They
would climb the steep stone terrace
and the high steps to our door, where
they would stand peeping inquisiively
through the crack of the door, and
waiting and watching until the house
was quiet Whenever we looked UP
from our work in the evening we were
sure to see at least one gentleman
crab, and his wife beside him, standing
on tiptOe and cooking their long stalk
ed eyes. on the watch for chance to
slip liz and explore the house. As soon
as we We're we'll settled at our work
they would creep Stealthily in and
wander everywhere, although they
were especially fond of climbing up
the mosquito nets to the canopieS over
our beds.
A crab hunt was the last event Of
our day, and it was not without ex-
citement. for while the animals are
generally peaceful and well behaved,
they have big, formidable claws. and
they always fight when cornered. They
cannot be driven out, for while they
are timid and desirouS to escape, they
never 20 out Of the door, but run side
ways along the walls, tumbling over
I each other in their eagerness, until
they reach n hidingplace behind our
trunks or under the furniture, when

Tobacco n Herh of Snnctitv

Since the worldwide diffusion of the
tobacco habit, its earliest and perhaps
original use has been in a great meas
ure overlooked. With the aborigines
of America smoking and its kindred
practices were not mere sensual graft
fications, but tobacco was regarded as
an herb Of peculiar and mysterious
sancuty, and its use was deeply and
intimately interviewer with native
rites and ceremonies. With reasonable
certainty the pipe may be considered
as an implement the use of which was
originally confined to the priest, medi-
cine man or sorcerer, in whose hands
it was a means Of communication be-
tween savage men and the unseen spir-
It's with which his universal doctrine
Of animism invested every object that
came under his observation Similar
to this use of the pipe was it's employ
ment in the treatment of disease,
which n savage philosophy is always
thought to be the work of evil spirits.
Tobacco is also regarded as an offer
ing of peculiar acceptability to the un-
known power. in whose hands the In
dian conceived his fate for good or ill
to lie: hence it is observed to figure
prominently in ceremonies as incense
and as material for sacrifice.

Male and Female Population.

The male population of the world is
falling further and further behind the
female. Thus, according to the last
British census, the excess of women
and girls over men and boys in Great
Britain Is about 100000, an increase in
ten years of nearly 100000 The Ger
man census of last December places
the number of females about 100000
above that of the males in the kingdom
of Prussia, or nearly three times the
excess twenty years ago. There are
100000 more females than males in
the whole German Empire. In Swe
den and Norway the weaker SEX are
in the majority by 250,000, in Austria.
Hungary by 100000, in Denmark by
10000, and in every European country
they outnumber the males. In the
United States, Canada and Australia
the males are in the majority, though
not largely so. the estimated excess of
males in this country being only 1,10O.-
600 or 100000.
