The Storage battery.

The storage battery is steadily iusti-
flying the belief that it has come TO
stay for traction purposes. During the
last severe snow storms Of the winter
the cars run by this system on the Sec
ond avenue. New York, passed the
severe test most satisfactorily. On Jan
p the cars ran all day and performed
their scheduled trips, although the horse
cars on the same line We're running on
half time with four horses. Feb. ID
and Is were very trying days, and al-
though foot of snow fell on The in.
tervening night, the cars had no dir.
ficulty in keeping up to their schedule
A very important feature Of one of tho
latest storage traction systems is that
the car Is no heavier than the ordinary
motor car, the batteries being able to
give n greater return in the power for
the size Of the generators than the troll
ley, us the charging is more regular:
there are no long stretches of trolley
wires and feeders TO waste power md
no leakages to destroy water and gas
pipes by elcctrolysis; furthermore, each
car. being self-propelllng, Is a unit in
itself.

Her Sister.

When Lady Waterford died in 1891,
the sorrow at her loss was very deep
and general. Her life had been one
of love and service, and one instance
e: y :.ially which followed her death
shows the spirit in which she gave to
the world.
When her effects We're distributed,
one man earnestly begged for her old
seal skin jacket. He urged his re.
quest with the utmost warmth, and
declared that he should cherish it all
his life. Then he told the story con-
nected with it in his mind
One day he had been walking by my
lady's donkcy-chair, when they found
tramp, Il woman. lying IN the ditch,
very i'll indeed. Lady Waterford got
out Of her chair, and made the man
help her lift the poor old woman into it.
Then she took off her own jacket, put
it on the sick woman, and walked home
by the side Of the chair, tending and
comforting her all the way.
"But it WAS not my lady's putting
her jacket on the woman that 1 cared
about" said the man, but that she
didn't think it was harmed by having
the tramp wear it, She wore 1t her
self afterward as il nothing had hap.

CHAPTER v.
A Wife's Secret.

Cicely Bennington was not, in spite Of
her country breeding, a woman of ro-
bust frame. She had been known to go
into Mysteries when her brothers play
ed at GHOSTS and to faint in an over
heated room. But when she saw her
husband come out Of the cellar with Jo-
seph Radstocks blood upon his hands
she neither tainted nor uttered a cry,
but stood watching him, careful not to
betray her presence by sound.
She did not fear that he would see
her as she stood back in an unlighted
corner; she could tell by the vacant
look in his blue eyes that there was
picture in. his mind which made him
blind to actual sights. Yet he was suf-
ficiently master of himself to remember
to lock the door, giving the paddock
wrench to be sure that it was securely
fastened, and then, after a little de-
liberation, to put the key into his pock-
ct. Then he stood at the door listening
This was the worst moment for Cicely.
An impulse to shrek aloud, to tear
him away from the door seized her.
She suppressed it by an effort which
seemed to take away all her strength
and leave her weak and tottering.
Without any change Of expression,
Duke, like somnambulist or an i'm
becile, walked back through the outer

A Queer burglar Trap.

Il went one night" said the retired
burglar, Into the room Of man who
had his clothes stacked UP on a chair
alongside the bed, with the trousers
thrown on top in careless sort of
way, as though he had been too tired or
too lazy to straighten 'em out. The
right-hand pocket looked inviting, and
| reached into it. There was a pocket
book there, but when l tried to pull it
out my hand was held on the sharp
points Of 4 dozen wires.
You have seen those mouse traps
with little cone-shaped wire tunnels
for the mouse to run his head into?
He can get his head in easily enough.
but when he wants to pull it out the
ends of the wires stick into his head
and neck and hold him. Well, this
man had fixed up contrivance like
that in his pocket. 1 could have freed
myself by taking Il little time and using
a little more patience, but 1 said to
myself. "Why not carry the trousers

Making Light From Refuse.

Further details have been received
concerning the Livet process of utiliz-
ing town refuse. which is being favora-
bly, regarded in Europe. The Livet ap-
paratus involves the rapid and economi-
cal generation Of heat in furnaces and
the utilization Of dust and refuse for
electric lighting. There is no novelty
about the srecial objects Of this Pro-
cess, which are a. The dispose; Of
solid town refuse. whether wet OF dry,

themselves to pass sufficiently slowly
Through the tfucs rs to part with all
their useful heat before they escape
INTO the atmosphere. The process is
greatl:, facilitated by the fact that the
solid s, use Of English cities contains
about Sc per cent Of mixed cinders and

gree the materials for its own ignition

in English cities is to deliver the re-
