LIGHTING THE CAPITOL.
A Large Electric Light Plant to BE Pnt In
by the Government.


It is probable that the electric lighting
plant to be put in the nations capitol
will not only be required to light that
building, but also to illuminate the con-
gressional library, which is to be the
largest building of its kind in the world,
and which, by reason of its uses, will re-
quire the best class of illumination.
I To accommodate such plant it will
be necessary TO locate the engine and
dynamos in a structure erected for this
special purpose. The location of the
power house is now being carefully con-
sidered. and the decision will probably be
reached very soon. The house will be
ornamental in appearance, and will be OF
sufficient size to contain not only the
eight dynamos necessary for the present,
but also for other buildings that may be
added to the group clustering around the
capitol, notably the home for the su-
preme court.
A careful estimate has placed the orig
inal cost of the building, the machinery,
the wiring and general installation of the
plant at 5000, 900. This viii insure the
work to be of the best character and the
plant to be of sufficient size tofurnish all
the light that can be used in the build
ings and the grounds. This latter Is
most important item in the calculations,
for at present there is an utterly made.
quate illumination of the great park. II
Is not certain whether the grounds will
be lighted by arc lamps or groups Of In
candescent globes. But this Is matter
of detail to be settled afterward.
A rough estimate that has already been
made of the cost Of maintaining the new
plant, which will do not only the work
now done by the gas and electric plants
in the capitol building, but also the entire
work of lighting the new library build.

This, too. was the age of the signing,

or sing posed as "a minstrel and re-
hearsed his love affairs. At every gath

ish prattle of love, cloying and monoto-
nous for very sweetness. The sexes
seemed to have changed places. 1t was
the lover who was shy wallfower,

The Speaker, weekly literary organ

litical sensation by announcing the dis.
covery of grand new Tory scheme. The
design is to dish the Home Rulers by the
establishments five great national coun-
ellis, two for England and one each for
Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with the
endowment of an Irish Catholic univer-
sity. The Speaker further declares that
the scheme has been submitted to the
leaders of the Irish Nationalist parties.

A RARE OCCURRENCE.
Mr. Eckenrede's Eel Catch Almost Sunpar-
alleled In the Annals ofTishirr.

nlLcieu In tnc Anunln EElohtf|Is
A remarkable haul Of eels was made
the other day hy Cosmos Eckenrode, who
was fishing along the Tulpehocken.
There is variety Of cells known as the
tandem eel, which is very seldom found
in this state, though common in the west.
A popularity of this variety is that they
travel, when migrating, single file, about
six inches apart, and maintain that dis
tance exactly during the time of their
progress. If one of the lot shoots ahead
too rapidly, the one following immedi-
ately grasps him by the tail in order to
drag him back to his proper place in the
line. They appear to have a remarkable
instinct for distance, and the variation
Of an inch will cause the rear eel to ex-
ercise his authority to put the brakes on
the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing he
hooked one of the travellers, very re-
markable circumstance, as they seldom
bite while migrating. As soon as he had
hooked it he Of course gave haul on the
line, which caused this particular eel to
shoot ahead. He was Immediately
grasped by the one following, and as
that one likewise shot ahead the next one
did the same, so that when Mr.. Ecken-
rode began to haul out he found solid
rope of cells. Dropping his rod and line,
he grasped the living rope and began to
haul in hand over hand. He kept haul
ing in and piling up the eels until ne
was utterly exhausted, when he was
obliged to stop and cut the connection,
He quickly ran for assistance, and q
number Of the neighbors came to help
him take care of his rare catch. When
they were all gathered up and loaded on
wagons, it was found that he had SIS
pounds. About $50 worth We're sent to
the Reading market, and the rest were
distributed among his neighbors.
| The news of his remarkable catch has
spread all over the upper part 'of the
county. and a great many fishermen have
been endeayoring to repeat It, but with
out success, since, according to natural
lists, an occurrence of this sort is one OF
the rarest in fishing, Reading Herald.

FACTS Aeour DISEASE GERMS.
The strangest of the "True Fairy Tales' oi

The strangest of the "True Fairy Tales' Of
Modern Science.
Among the well known diseases whose
bacterial origin is already placed beyond
reasonable doubt are erysipelas, tubercu-
losis, dlphtheria, tetanus, typhoid fever,
croupous pneumonia and influenza. The
facts discovered regarding some OF these
dnring the past 10 years are among the
strangest Of the "true fairy tales" Of mod
ern science. For example, the micrococcus
of croupous pneumonia, as discovered by
DR.. Sternberg, turks In the mouth and IL
harmless there, awaiting, as II were, an
opportunity when condition Of lowered
vitality Of the system, as from exposure TO
cold, shall enable 1t TO take up its active
abode In the lungs and begin develop
ment whose results will be manifest In an
Inflammation Of those organs. Again, 1t
appears that the bacillus Of tetanus, or
lockjaw, is abundant everywhere In the
soil and may rest on the surface Of the
human body or be taken into the stomach
without producing injury. Even on the
surface of an open wound 1t cannot devel-
op, 1t being one Of the bacteria that can
not grow in the presence OF free oxygen.
But II introduced into deeper wound
away from the air IL may develop rapidly
and produce the painful and often fatal
disease tetanus. Thus Is explained the
fact, always before mystery, that even
slight and seemingly insignificant punc-
ture wounds are more likely to produce
this disease than are open LESSONS that
otherwise are far more serious.
II Is an interesting and highly suggest
i've fact, as showing the power OF resist
ance OF the human body under normal
conditions, that bacterium capable OF
producing such disease as this may be
so abundant all about us and yet so infre-
quently find opportunity for malignant ac-
tivity. But the same thing appears to be
true In greater or less degree of all the
other bacteria that may developin the hu-
man body. Even when introduced into the
body they are harmless, unless they find
the conditions there favorable to their de-
velopment. Thus there nre probably very
few persons who have not at one time or
another inhaled the bacillus Of tuberculo-
sis or its spores, but the lungs Of only the
relatively few furnish favorable soil for
its development These susceptible per-
sons develop the disease. The others are
said to be immune as regards this partio-
ular bacillus. But susceptibility and I'M
munity are relative terms, and a person
whose tissues at one time resist the NIL
crobe may at another time succumb to It,.
The exact nature OF the "inherent vital
| ity" which we are accustomed to speak of
as giving the tissues power to resist the
micro organisms we understand as little
as our ancestors understood the real cause
of the contagious diseases. Perhaps the
microscope will help TO eplighten US in
this regard in the next half century,,
