An Electrical Parcel Van.

The Londoners are proud Of their
"Pichford' vans, by which a large part
of the express service of the city is
handled, and one Of these vehicles,
drawn by a magnificent team of horses
is sure to be one of the first objects that
arrest the attention of q stranger in q
London business street. It seems a
bold idea to use electricity for the pro-
pulsion of a huge van through Fleet
street. Notwithstanding the admirable
way in which the traffic is regulated
and controlled by the city police, but
this has actually been done, and sue
cessfully. The busiest time of the day
was selected for the test of an electric
parcel van last week in the heart of
London, and the result Of the trial
was IN every way satisfactory and en-
couraging. In outward appearance the
van differed little from other vehicles
OF the same order. 1t took it's place in
the ordinary street traffic, accommodate
ing its pace to a nicely, coming almost
to Il standstill in a block on Newgate
street and at other congested corners,
and awaiting itself Of the clear run
Which Moorgate street afforded to in
crease Its speed to the maximum per-
mitted by the police regulations. The
steering was admirably managed, and
the electrical van is said to have had q
decided advantage in Creeping" find
ing its way more quickly than any 9TH
cr vehicle out Of the constant tangle
OF BUSES, carts, cabs and conveyauces
OF every description. The van travelled
with equal ease over wood, asphalt and
granite pavement and was always un-
der perfect control. Six people were
INSIDE the van, the interior of which
was entirely free for passengers or
goods. The storage batteries, which
furnish current for driving the car, are
suspended in a special carrier beneath
the body Of the van, and recharged
set may be substituted in two minutes.
The van is lighted by electricity, and is
controlled by single switch giving six
degrees of speed. This switch is regu-
lated by the left hand of the driver, and
runs up, II necessary, to a speed Of fif-
teen miles an hour. The right hand of
the driver is free to turn a steering
wheel, which is provided with pointer,
indicating the direction in which the We
hlcle is going. The steering gear has
ball-bearings, which give perfect con-
troll with Il minimum Of effort. 1t is
estimated that the cost of running cleo
trlc vans, equal to two-jlorse vehicles,
including charging, maintenance, etc,
Will be &c mile, and each charge will
give about thirty miles travelling.

Breathing and Physical Develop
mcnt.

Breathing and Physical Develop
ment.
Some of the eastern dances seen at
the worlds fair served to show to what
degree much neglected branch Of ply
steal development, that of the muscles
of the abdomen or diaphragm, can be
brought. AS a matter Of fact, few Of
US breathe properly. as we ignore the
use of the diaphragm, and Capt. A. L.
Hopper Dixon has done well to call at
tention to the Importance Of every one,
and especially the soldier, taking the
trouble to correct his faults of breath
ing, and to learn to perform that act as
nature intended. Capt. Dixon explains
that the only true form Of breathing is
the abdominal or diaphragmatic, and
shows the evil effects of collar-bone and
shoulder respiration, as well as those of
mid-chest OF rib breathing. So much
do defective forms exist that out of
1,5OO recruits at government military
station the difference Of chest measure
ment in 95 per cent did not exceed IL
inches between the maximum and mini
mum. The diaphragm is quite as easy
to train, with proper care, as any other
muscle in the body. A man who goes
in for fencing, boxing or running, and
devotes his training to the muscles con-
cerned in these respective exercises, IT.
respective Of the diaphragm, little
dreams Of the enormous benefit that
may be derived from learning breath
control. 1t is singular fact that hard
ly any army wind instrument players
breathe correctly. Capt. Dixon says
the reason men are rejected for the
army. so far as chest measurement is
concerned, is because they neither know
how to fill their lungs with air on the
one hand, nor to empty them on the
other. Give me any recruit who is
healthy, but still does not come up to
the required standard Of chest measure
ment, and will guarantee that in a
few weeks, by means of diaphragmatic
drill I will give him the necessary ex-
pansiOn''

One Dromio Voted for Both.

The boys were twins, both were voters
and they wanted to vote yesterday.
But how to do it was the question. One
Of them was i'll in bed and impossible
to get out. The other went to the polls
and voted. Then a happy idea struck
him. He would go home wait brief
spell and then 60 back and vote for his
brother. He did so, and the vote was
taken and counted. Then he smiled at
the way he fooled the board. But it
was not to wondered at. Both of the
boys resembled each other as much as
two peas, and it is almost impossible to
separate them. Their man was elected,
too, which increases the elation. So we
so. All this happened yesterday.-Wil-

WARMER AND DRYER {.
Predicts Weather Prophet Foster.

My last bulletin gave forecasts of
the storm waves to cross the conti-
nent from July Goth to August I'd, and
the next will reach the Pacific coast
about August Sd, cross the western
mountains by close of the 4th. the
great central valleys from 5th to 18th
and the eastern states about the Sth.
This disturbanceiwill be at its great
est force west of the Mississippi about
4th and 5th. Rainfall will be deficient
except in few limited localities.
This will also be an earthquake
period. 1t will be noted that the great
earthquakes at Constantinople, July
9th to 18th, occurred very near the
predicted dates. From July 81 to
August 9th will probably bring fully
as great earthquakes as did the July
disturbance. TaHt.
The warm wave will cross the west
ern mountains about August Sd, the
great central valleys about the 9Th
and the eastern states about the 7th.
The cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the 9th, the great
central valleys about the Sth and the
eastern states about the 10th.
August will bring spots of drouth
in many places and corn and cotton
will be injured to some extent. The
drouth will not be general but, taking
the whole of the United States and
Canada, the month willaverage warm
er and drier than usual
