Men Living on High Floors and In the Sub
urbs Go Home Early.
An Atlanta bachelor who dwells on
the sixth floor of the Grand building
has made valuable discovery, says the
Constitution.
Talk about reforming a man." said
he. III tell you the way 10 do it, Give
him rooms on the sixth floor of the
building in which the elevator stops at
ten o'clock and he'll reform, depend
upon it.
Il often want to stay out later than
ten o'clock, but if do have TO climb
five flights of stairs, and-I don't;
catch the last elevator every time.
Don't catch me pulling my weary way
up to the heavens like that. I'm a
slave, know, but | prefer taking the
elevator.
The same thing is true of the man
who lives out in the suburbs. His last
car goes at half-past ten o'clock. He's
got to catch it, walk, or pay seventy
FIVE cents for hack. Nine times out
Of ten he catches the last car.
There's no moral agency-the Sun
day school not excepted-that exercises
such powerful influence for reform and
good morals as do elevators and street
cars. They cut off many nights of dis
sipation and revel.
Just think of the number of men
you'd find up town at midnight and
after if they could catch a car at any
time. Think about it,"

The marrow Escape OF Mountain Ciimb~s
from . Terrible Death.
A traveller in China tells, in the Fort
nightly Review, how he assembled the
sacred mountain. Siao-outai-shan. and
how he made the descent also, at mo-
ment when he least expected IL. He
had reached an altitude Of over nine
thousand feet. and having lost the trail
TO see If he could discover the right
track. He managed to crawl to the
top and there opened his paint box to
make q sketch. He says:
As was sorting out my brushes the
stone on which l was sitting gave way
and started sliding down the almost
perpendicular slope. tried to clutch
the ground with my nails. l seized
every projecting stone, in the hope OF
stopping my PERCEPTIONS descent, but
at the speed at which ! was going 1t
was no easy matter to hold on to any
thing which managed to clutch.
There had death staring me in the
face. for another hundred yards would
bring me TO the edge Of precipice,
over which must inevitably go, taking
a leap of several hundred feet. My hair
stood on end as | approached the
dreaded spot, and / well remember the
CHASTITY sound of my heavy paintbox,
which had preceded me in my descent.
shall never forget the hollow sound
of it, banging from bowlder TO bowlder,
echoed and magnified a thousand times,
from one mountain to another. Then
there was final bang far, far below;
the echo weakly repeated it. and all was
silence once more. Another half min
ute, and the echo would repeat hol-
lower sound still! l shut my eyes.
A violent shock, which nearly tore
my body in two, made me think l had
gone over; but no, as luck would have
it, had suddenly stopped.
opened my eyes, but did not dare
move, for my position, though much
improved, was far from being safe. My
coat and long leather strap, slung
under my arm, had just caught on a
projecting stone; but single false
movement on my part might still place
me In great danger.
Slowly, as my back was slightly rest
ing on the almost perpendicular slope,
tried To get footing; when this was
done, the great difficulty was to turn
round. After several anxious minutes,
which seemed ages long, the feat was
accomplished, and there | stood, half
lying, with my body on the ground,
clutching the rock that had saved my
life.
Then, when my commotion had en-
tirely passed away, managed to crawl
up, in a cat-like fashion. To a position

FOUR HUNDRED BELOW ZERO.
Curious Eject OF such Temperature on
Iron and Colors.

Curious Effect OF Such Temperature on
Iron and Colors.
Four hundred and twentyfour de-
prees Fahrenheit below zero! just
what this means it is almost impossible
TO imagine, and yet, says Casters Mag
azine, il is one of the temperatures
which have been reached and used in
laboratory research, and has been made
the subject of some highly interesting
experiments and explanations by Prof.
Dewar before the British Royal institu-
ton. Four hundred degrees below
zero is not an everyday temperature,
nor can it be reached by more every
day means than the expansion of liquid
air, which latter Prof. Dewar has sue
ceeded in producing in comparatively
large quantities, and in storing by
novel and ingenious methods, to be
used as required in the study of
matter at abnormally low tempera-
ture, exactly as a spirit lamp or Bun
sen burner is used in studying the prop
critics of different bodies at the higher
temperatures. The tensile strength of
iron at four hundred degrees below zero
is lust twice what it is at sixty degrees
above. 1t will take a strain of sixty
instead of thirty tons to the square
inch, and equally curious results have
come out as to the elongation of metals
under these conditions. 1t was an idea
of Faraday that the magnetism in a
permanent magnet would be in
creased at very low temperatures,
and experiments with comparatively
low temperatures had rather mega
tived Faraday's suggestion, but Prof.
Dewar has completely verified the
opinion of the famous savant, having
shown that a magnet at the extremely
low temperature made possible by the
liquid air had its power increased by
about fifty per cent. Very low temper
ature was shown also TO have remark
able effect upon the color of many
bodies. For example, the brilliant
scarlet or vermillion and mercuric
iodide is reduced under its influence &c
pale orange, the original color return
ing with the rise of the temperature.

A Task for the Board Of Trade,

Tonight the board of trade begins its ac-
tive work for the season by general meet
ing. the program Of which includes a dis
cussion Of the railroad problem and a re-
view of the old-time grievance based on the
dangerous and antiquated system of grade
crossings in vogue here. This great local
organization could not assaiI a more i'm
pcrtant nuisance. There Is no lack of argu-
ment on the citizens side of the question
and there Is a singular lack of reason on
the part of the corporations that persist In
disregarding public sentiment, modern
necessities and even economical cOnsidera-
tions. The only thing in favor of the rail-
roads Is the fact that they are in possess
sion. They cannot be moved or their
tracks raised or depressed without force
Doubtless there Is today enough latent in
diSnation among the thousands of citizens
whose lives and properties are hourly en-
dangered by these death-traps to swell into
resistless power if there were ever to be
another great disaster in which lives should
be lost by reason of faulty protection from
the trains, such as Is always imminent, but
the people Of Washington are law-abiding
and long-suffering and the railroads are Sc
cure from such an assault. Legislative en-
actment is the only remedy available, and it
can only be obtained, it is clear, by per-
sistent and courageous efforts on the part
of the citizens to wiring from an apparently
unwilling Congress the law that should
have been passed many years ago, compel
ling the steam roads entering Washington
to provide some means of effective pro-
lection, either by elevatlng or depressing
the tracks and undermining the entire ter
minal system now in use.

The Governor of Illinois.

If 1t be true as reported that Governor
Altgeld of Illinois has sold the brick battle
ship at Chicago for old junf. then indeed will
the people Of America have reason to 1eel
ashamed that any commonwealth IN the
Union should be under the rule OF such a
mercenary executive. This structure was
given to Illinois by the United States govern
ment to be used as an armory for the naval
militia of the state. If there were no such
organization two courses were open to the
governor: To form one at once and so take
a sensible step toward the defense of one OF
Americas greatest cities in the event OF
trouble; or to notify the government that
the state had no immediate use for the brick
ship. AS 1t is the governor is in fair way
to be suspected of obtaining a lot Of old ma
terials under false pretenses. The immedi-
ate cost of the structure was Insignificant
when compared with its sentipental value
to the people, but 1t has long ago been DEM
onstrated that there is no sentimental side
to this wonderful official. who must hence
forth be known as John Parsimonious Alt
geld.
