New Process with Fruit Juice.

The diffusion process of extracting
Juice from fruit is gaining ground. 1t
has long been applied in France in the
extraction of beet-root juice for sugar,
and it is now used in making cider
without a cider mill or cider press.
In crushing and pressing the apples
the pure fruit juice is not obtained, for
much albuminoid matter is extracted
with it from the cells. In the new
process, says the Baltimore American,
the juice is washed out from sliced
fruit withhold water. Warm water acts
more quickly, but the result is not near
ly SO savory. The water passes from
one compartment filed with fruit tc
another, and the process is SO arranged
that in each it meets fresher fruit than
in the last; so that it leaves saturated
with juice, or rather it and the juice
change places, SO that nearly pure juice
issues from the machine. The results
are said to be satisfactory in the high
est degree.

WONDROUS EXPERIMENTS.
The Servian Electrician. Tesla, Able to
Furnish Light Without Using Wires.

The ServiAn EiecIr1c1an. I6SIa, Ado Co
Furnish Light Without Using Wires.
1t is not an extravagant statement
to say that never before in the history
of the world has there been scientific
discovery about which centered such
magnificent dreams as are being built
up on certain recently discovered cleo
trical principles Among these the
foremost place, according to the
Springfield Republican, must be given
to the astounding discoveries OF the
young Servian genius, Nillola Tesla,
which are so novel and SO extraordinary
that the most imaginative of inventors
are unable to foresee what form their
development will take. Jus as expert
menters were beginning to think that
they knew all that could be learned
about electricity, and that further i'm
provement must be in the line of more
perfect mechanical application, Mr..
Tesla shows us the electric fluid under
conditions in which it differs from
ordinary electricity as much as light
differs from heat. current of two
thousand volts will kill man in the
twinkling of an eye, but this modern
wizard lets currents pour through his
hands with potential of two hundred
thousand volts, vibrating a million
times a second and shOwering from him
in dazzling streams of light.
The widest dream of the inventor
could not have foreseen that while cur
rents of low frequency are deadly,
these arc harmless. Mr.. Tesla says
that he will soon be able to wrap him
self in complete sheet of electric fire
that will keep a man warm at the
north pole without harming him.
Neither Merlin nor Michael Scott nor
anv of the wizards of old ever wrought
a more potent miracle, even in fancy.
The meaning of this is too far beyond
us to be realized at present. We can
no more grasp its significance than
Franklin could discern the electric
motor in his captured thunderbOlt.
Equally astounding and with more Wis
iblc usefulness IS Mr. Tesla's discovery
that currents of such enormous pOten-
tial and frequency can be transmitted
without the use of wires. A room can
be filled with electricity from copper
plates in ceiling and floor, SO that elcc-
trio lamps will burn without any con-
Meeting wire as soon as they are
brought in. In the same way intelli-
gence and power may be transmitted
without circuit, doing away with the
necessity for trolleys, storage batteries
and subways. When it is considered
that such startling changes as this are
already theoretically possible, it will
be seen that in the inventions upon
which we so complacently congratu-
late ourselves we have only timidly
padded along the shore of the great
| sea vet to be explored.

CHILD SLAVERY IN SICILY.

Shocking Condition of Affairs in the Sui
phur IL ines at Girgenti.
An investigation has been set on
foot regarding the sulphur mines o.
Girgenti. The researches reveal
fearful state of things. Each miner
working at the vein has as assistants
or ''curusi'' one or two children, whose
duty it is to carry the broken mineral
to the surface These children are
bought from their parents for one hun,
dred or one hundred and fifty francs;
so long as that sum is not returned the
child belongs to the miner, is his per-
sonal property his slave, in fact.
Twelve hours a day these poor
wretches labor, carrying upon their
backs heavy loads to the surface. A
little bread and some raw onions are
all the food which these children,
whose ages vary between eight and
fifteen years, have to support life upon.
At night they sleep upon the hard floor
of q cave.
Their skin hangs in rags from their
shoulders, their bodies are covered
with sores, their backs bent, their
limbs twisted, their foreheads wrink-
led, and their eyes are sunken in their
sockets. Death alone can set them
free, and the barbarous treatment Of
their tyrants often accelerates this
fatal issue. Many victims perish un-
der the blows of their masters, and no
one troubles himself in the least about
it. The most terrible moral corrup-
ton reigns at the bottom of this hell,
and the wretched ''curuso' is the vic

HE CAN FEEL NO PAIN.

n w est 1nukan w no MAKES NOtnInR Oh
Being Pierced by Wire.
Three reputable physicians of Mobile
recently made some experiments on the
person of z man named Lartado, ma
tive of Trinadad. This man seemingly
is wonder. He appears to be utterly
0blivious to the sensations of heat and
cold. and, in fact, experiences no feel
ing of pain, even when undergoing
treatment that would cause an ordi-
nary man untold agony. He is twenty
four years old, is five feet seven inches
in height, weighs one hundred pounds,
and is perfectly sound mentally and
physically. His father was Spaniard
and his mother an English woman. A
correspondent of the New Orleans
TimeS-DemOcrat witnessed the man
run through his neck down to and
grazing the trachea a piece of steel
wire One-eighth of an inch in diameter,
to which most powerful galvanic bat
terry was attached and shifted from
one current to another without any
perceptible pain, but with considerable
acceleration of pulse. He passed an
other large steel wire into his mouth
and through his cheek, in all directions,
and no blood flowed Another large
wire was passed through and through
the large muscles of the calf Of the leg
and between the biceps muscle, in line
with the brachial artery, and through
the arm above the wrist, between the
two bones of the arm, and other like
experiments in different parts of the
body, ali of which with seemingly no
pain and no bleeding from any place
but a drop from the neck. in fact,
each of the openings made by the in
strument closed up as bloodless and as
easily as if the man was constructed of
India rubber. The physicians present
declared that it was the most wonder
full exhibition of freedom from all pain
they had ever witnessed. The man
never hinched during any of the ex-
periments, while the instruments were
iabbed into him with no more consid-
Grafton than if be had been water

They Are Employed by Many London So
c.ety Leaders.
Fain would | utter my protest
against child entertainers: those poor
little mites with pale checks, sunlen
eyes and old faces who are expected to
amuse a mixed company with music
hall patter and coster ditties, writes
Lady Violet Greville in the London
Graphic. If the little creatures under
, stand what they sing, woe betide them;
Fit is terrible to contemplate their
future. If they do not, they are no
better than well-trained monkeys and
ought to give less pleasure to grown
up audience. Child-life is beautiful in
itself in it's natural grace and uncon'
sciousness and innocent selfshness,
but child who mods and winks and
intonates like a low comedian, with
leering glance, abusive gestures and
repertory of double meaning, is to me
positively repulsive. Clever, no doubt,
the performance is, and perhaps it may
do the child's moral nature no great
harm. BIT suffer it must in it's physical
constitution.
Dragged from party to party, spend
ing it's life in possible excitement,
spoiled by the guests, fed on cakes and
sweetmeats, breathing the vitiated air
of hot rooms and educated in an atmos'
phere of slang, low fun and hard work,
there can be little hope of a healthy
and happy future for it. If we must
have music hall artistes to entertain
our flabby, effete and worn-out com.
pany let them at least be men and
women who understand what they say
and are able to take care of them
selves, not poor little farmed-out mites
bringing grist to the mill of their ell
ders. What the life means was wildly
impressed on me once when / said to
the child singer, at an hour long past
midnight: II am sure you must be
tired. hope you haven't far to co.
and she answered: "Only three buses
and then we're at homc."

WOMAN MAYOR IN NEWZEALAND

Now Filling the Chair Occupied Some
Years Ago by Her Husband
The colonies have once more stolen
a march on the mother country says
the London Daily News. While the
house of commons has been debating
timidly whether or not to allow wOm
en- to sit in various local bodies, the
people in township in New Zealand
have actually elected a woman mayor
of the borough. The name Of the lady
who has thus achieved the distinction
of being the first female mayor elected
within the British empire is Mrs
Yates; that of the borough which
elected lHr, Onehunga. A further cir
cumstance of interest about this elec
ton is that the lady's husband, Capt.
Yates, was himself mayor of the same
borough few years ago. The mayors
of New Zealand towns are, we may
add, usually-though not, we believe,
necessarily = created justices of the
peace. and in view of the existence OF
female suffrage in the colony it is
confidently expected that her worship
Mrs Yates will promptly be raised to
the magisterial bench. Meanwhile we
gather from some of the New Zealand
papers that the burning question in
Onehunga is, for the moment, one of
names. Is Mrs. Yates mayor" or
''mayoress?'' On this point there is,
however, little difference of opinion or
difficulty. The lady has been elected
mayor, and mayor she is to be called.
The person discharglng the duties of
this office is always SO designated in
all acts of parliament from WilliaD

WIND AND ELECTRICITY,

Plenty.

The Wind is Free and Windmiils Are
Plenty.
Serious attempts are now being made
to utilize electrically another of the
forces OF naturc-wind power. Thou
sands of Eiramills are now in use in
the United States, says the New
York Post, especially in rural districts
and on country estates, but hitherto
their usefulness has been restricted to
pumping, drainage, irrigation, etc.
Apparatus is now being introduced
that it is hoped will be valuable ad-
junct in windmill plants. It is stated
that throughout this country an aver
age rate of seven and three-quarter
miles per hour, of the wind, can be de-
pended on, and this being the case
anyone with q windmill can have
electric lighting by hitching on small
dynamo and few storage batteries.
An experimental plant at Jersey City
comprises a windmill, which, with a
diameter of eighteen feet and a speed
Of twenty miles an hour, is capable of
delivering three horse power. The
dynamo has a maximum capacity Of
thirty-fve amperes at thirty-five volts,
and is brought into play whenever an
eight-hour breeze is blowing. 1t then
charges the battery, while a special
switch prevents the battery discharg-
ing, when the dynamo speed falls off.
The dynamo occupies floor space Of
only thirty inches square and is but
fifteen inches airh. The storage cells
charged b. it furnish current abun-
dainty for twcnty-four incandescent
lamps The opportunities for such
utftsappear ;nnumerable, if the appa-
ratus prove efficient and trustworthy.
