A Mistaken Idea.

There's a good deal of rot heard
about conductors knocking down fares,
said the very intelligent ticket taker Of
No. iii, as he punched his blue trip
slip, "but even a dishonest man would
be fool to attempt such thing on any
modernly conducted road. He might
steal a dime or so occasionally, but
thieves don't stop at such small things
and they are invariably spotted by the
inspectors. Who are theyg Why, the
detectives employed by tie street-car
companies to ride on the care and watch
conductors. 1t is a regular business
and many shrewd men are engaged in
it. They are known to railroad officials
and travel from city to city all over the
United States. They never stay long
enough in a place TO become known to
the employees of a road, and sometimes
never see the higher officials, even.
They ride on a car, watch the cOnduc-
tor and note everything he does They
report him by number.
If he is an honest man but gets
nervous and mixed up in collecting fares
in a crowd of passenge and misses one
or two, or punches the ticket slip for a
cash Iafe ne Is reported as Such ana
gets warning from the office. If he is
in any way crooked the inspectors re-
port says so and he is fired | venture
to say that every street-car president
or manager in Washington has the rec
ord of every conductor on the line right
under his thumb where he can examine
it in minute. A man runs the risk Of
discharge even if he lets a friend ride
free, for inspectors note this as well as
everything else the punch man does. -

Passing of Steam.

1t is confidently predicted, and seems
self-eyident that the complete disap-
pearance of steam, both as a motive
power and as an agent in the industrial
arts, is a question of only a very short
time. 1t is probable, indeed, that
single decade will put it upon the re-
tired list, so far as machinery is con-
cerned at least The problem of the
motor stands directly upon the thresh-
old OF success; year or a. month may
suffice for the one step in advance. A
single happy inspiration upon the part
OF one OF the many clever minds active
~ engaged in searching for the last
link, the ultimate touch, would do it.
Among electricians the question is con-
sldered to rest upon the perfection of
the storage battery, already so nearly
perfect. With a good storage battery
steam, as the active principle in all en-
gines, must be abandoned, because in
the prime essentials of economy. en-
ergy, and safety steam, with its cum
brous mechanisms, its costliness. and
It's uncertainty, could not compare with
electricity. This is simply proved even
IN the present state of electrical applied
science. Enough has already been ac-
complished to show that investigation is
proceeding upon correct lines, and that
the results aimed at are not utopian,
but quite agreeable to known princi-
pies. Indeed, the one short step, the
one small discovery which yet remains
unaccomplished will certainly achieve
the end. Amy hour, as we said, may
witness the relegation of steam to the
rubbish heap of WORKOUT and worthless
things.

Attacked Ivy IL RhinOCerOS.

The author of discovery of Lakes
Rudolf and Stefanie" had shot a zebra
and his men were making ready to cut
it up, when two rhinoceroses appeared
in the distance. Apparently the firing
of the gun had disturbed their nap and
made them thoroughly angry.
Though more than 100 PAGES off the
rhinoceroses swerved aside VIXEN they
saw us and then dashed upon us with
the speed of racc-horses. As usual, my
black companions took to their heels
making for a solitary tree some distance
off. 1t was hopeless for me TO think of
reaching it and there was not so much
as blade of straw for cover anywhere.
And behind the dead zebra, which would
have been better than nothing, three of
my men were already crouching.
There was nothing for it but to brave
the situation out; so | knet on one

moment was on its feet again. 1t was

it turned away, followed by its COM
panion. Twice it seemed about to fall,

FACTS ABOUT FATIGUE.
Whether Arising from Athletic Exercise
or Excess 1t Is Equally Bad.

DR.. Tissie, well-known French physi-
clan has been studying the subject OF
excessive physical culture. He points
out in Science SJtingS that there is
similarity between the nervous fatigue
which follows violent and prolonged
exercise and certain hypnotic states.
All fatigue is in the nerves; the muscles
simply lose their power. In violent and
prolonged physical exercise the waste OF
the body is rapid and extreme, and at
the end its victim is in a state of poison
ing from the accumulation of waste pro-
ducts in his system not yet thrown off.
He is like q patient recovering from
some disease. The muscular oversLrain
in the case is like that which results
from such nervous shocks as are some
times produced by violent emotions or
by dreadful dreams.
DR.. Tissie made a special study of the
case of a runner in "go-as-yOu-please"
race. which continued twenty four
hours. The first effect of the nervous
exhaustion was feeling Of great ia
tigue, followed by loss of interest and
disgust. Next came phenomena of IL
fusion or hallucination, of double per-
,
of sleep. The doctor claims that the
real aim of every trainer for the ring
is to produce an automatic state in the
one who is to take part in the contest of
physical strength. His whole science is
to transform the man he trains into a
being that will keep on automatically.
Something of this occurs in all over
strain from prolonged physical exercise.
The Flooding action which results is
akin to the constant repetition of the
same word over and over until it be-
comes fixed idea in the mind. The
doctors conclusion are that the abuse of
athletic sports is an evil; that the play
ers lose character and tend to retrogade
from intellectual volition to an habitual
automatism. Just as moderate eXer-
else is good, so these intensive exercises
are bad.

Gotham has been on wheels the past

CITY AND COUNTRY CATS.
Many Curious Points of Difference Be-
tween the Two Animals.

An observer has noted that there ex-
ist many points of difference between
country and city cats. The country
cats, he declares. are larger and heavier
than those of the city; no reference
being made in this comparison to such
civic cats as might come under the head
of "pampered pets" but only to plain
cats. the cats of the back yard and the
housetop. This superior weight of the
country eat, the observer says Is easily
attributable to the diet of small field
animals and birds which it enjoys. But
there are other peculiarities of differ
ence, he proceeds, which are not so
easily attributable to diet For in
stance. the color of the country cat is
generally either gray or tortoise-shell,
the commoner color being gray. On
the other hand, observes the cat expert,
the preponderating color among city
cats is black.
In the next place, the color of the
eyes in city and country cats is found
to be very different. the latter leaning
largely to gray and green, while the
city cats eyes are mostly yellow, and
having far more glitter in them than
have their country cousins. In the
matter of tails, too. there is differ
ence, the city cats tail being much
longer and carried more nearly on
level with the back than that of the
country cat. The country cats paws are
much tiatter, broader, and softer than
the town cats the pads of the former
being like velvet, and those of the latter
like rubber.
Altogether between the big-barrelled,
gray, light-eyed, velvet-footed country
cat, slipping noiselessly through the
young wheat stalks, and the scrawny,
long-tailed, yellow-eyed city cat patter-
ing down an alleyway like a flying
shadow, there are such differences as
will, says the observer, result in time in
the formation of two distinct species,
felis rusticus and felis urbanis.
