Storage Battery Cars For New York.


The cost of Installation appears to be
the chief objection to the conduit meth
cd of traction. The objection to the
storage battery was that it could not
be operated economically on account
of the short life of the battery. This
was not the reason, however, that the
storage battery cars similar to those in
use ON three lines in Paris are to be put
ON the Madison avenue line, and it Is
claimed that owing to new inventions
the battery to be used will last a sat
isfactory length Of time, and that the
cost OF running the cars will be less
than horse-traction or cable or conduit
trolley, and compare favorably with
overhead trolley. IT practical expert
ence show these claims to be well
founded, then the storage Battery cars
are sure to be used very extensively
| in all large cities. The writer Is not in
possession of such convincing facts as
to feel justified in saying positively that
| they are. The cars to be run on Mad
ison avenue tracks will be equipped
with new type of storage battery
| known as the chloride accumulation.
These batteries have been practically
tested in Paris on three lines, and it is
said that with one charge of the battery
fully loaded car can make run of
| seventy miles. If this be so it is surely
a great Improvement on the system
| used six years ago. In the new cars
the batteries will not be carried in the
| car body, as has hitherto been the
| practice, but will be suspended from
| the truck under the center of the car.
The tray or box containing the batter
les is readily and quickly detached from
| the truck, and removed for the pur-
pose of charging, and running beneath
| the floor to a cellar or subway, the ele-
vator being adapted to hoist the bat
| teries into place on the car truck, or
| to remove them therefrom, as the case
| may be. BY this arrangement car
can be loaded or unloaded in half a
minute or less. Another important
feature Of carrying the batteries be
| meath the cars is that any car body may
be used, and 50 a company adopting the
system will not have to sell all Of the
old equipment.

TIE COOP .AND EYfL BICYCLE.


The doctors are disagreeing over the
bicycle in true doctoraE fashion. Not
long ago a famous Chicago doctor
mournfully announced that if men
DIDN'T stop riding the bicycle the race
would die out. Now comes a famous
ST. Louis doctor-I. NJ Iiove-sayfng
that he believes strongly in the bicycle
for both mem and women, on the ground
that sit brings into play every muscle
of the human body and is better than
thinks that the only proper position to
be taken is an upright one, and COM
mends women for maintaining such a
position better than men, although he
adds that this is due to ''tfleir vanity
DR.. Love says: "As physicians we
should frown upon the bifurcaited skirt
or bloomer. It is inartistic and a. blot
on the landscape, and should be rele-
gated. The Eton waist and belt is
flowing and comfortable, and women
should wear a sweater; indeed, am in
favor of all wearing wooden, garment
next to the flesh to offset sudden
draughts.''
But the most solemn warning against
the bicycle is that just delivered by DR..
Forbes Winslow, the famous London
alienist. He directs his warning es-
pecially To- women and those who love
them and want to see them do what
will do them good. Dangerous to
health and injurious to morals is
what he says about bicycle riding by
women. And he impressively adds. 1 am
fearful for the next generation if this

An Anecdote of Rismarck.


A new Bismarck anecdote is related
in a Swedish paper by an old Swedish
lady. She writes: "Fifty-six years
ago, when I was very young girl,
was to spend some time in Rome. Ac-
eompanied by an old companion and
two lady's maids, set out on my jour
ney. 1t was settled that I should stay
a short time in Berlin. A sister of my
father had married a German, and
their son, the German cousin, as we
called him, studied at that time in Ber-
lin. I had never seen him. A few
days before 1 set out on my journey my
father sent him a letter requesting him
to look after me a little. I arrived
safely in Berlin, and was most heartily
received by my German cousin. He
was a tall youth, with a large NOUS
tache and peculiarly sparkling eyes; he
seemed to me even somewhat uncanny
but no. For three days he was my
faithful companion. Certainly he could
not speak a word of Swedish, but he

quite proud of my German cousin. The
hour for my departure arrived only too
soon. Cousin he said, just as 1 was
about to leave. look, cousin, 1 should

Where Amber Comes From.

mere AMBER comes From.
At the present day the supply Of am
Der is chiefly obtained from the dreary
and desolate region of Samland, on the
eastern Baltic. a strange, weird land of
blowing sand, shifting sand-dunes and
poverty-stricken amber hunters. 1t is
a cold northern Sahara. The district
produces absolutely nothing but amber;
vegetation 1t has none, and from Ko-
nigsberg, its capital, to the end of the
promontory scarcely anything subsists
that man could live upon. Its trade
is all retrospective and geological. 1t
lives upon the memory of it's Oligocene
fertility. Most of the amber is OBJ
tanned after stormy weather by men
who wade in the water with long hooks
in their hands, and secure the Jumps
torn up from the submarine beds
among the floating sea-weed. But a
considerable portion is also got by div
ing, for the beds are almost all below
the sea level, and it is only after heavy
storms that the precious resin is dis
lodged in any quantities. No wonder
1t seems to earlier ages gift from the
gods, very mystic and magical. Ko-
nigsberg and Memel are the centers Of
the export traffic. The biggest Jumps
go direct to Constantinople, Mecca and
North Africa, partly to be used up in
Mohammedan ceremonies and partly to
be carved into cigarette holders, pipe
stems and personal ornaments. The
smaller pieces are sent to Italy, where
they are manufactured into beads and
other gewgaws for the annoyance of
tourists, while much is exported to I'M
civilized countries for the further
adornment Of those dusky ladies so
dear to the hearts of our Stevensons
and our Haggards. The Jumps vary
immensely in size; there is one in the
Berlin Museum which weighs fifteen
pounds. At first sight the ingenious
observer is apt to think no pine trees of
our days produce such masses of resin.
But then he should remember he is

Considerable comment has been eXcit-
ed in Hungary by the publication of a
book written by the master of the cere-
monies attached to the person of the
Bishop of Szauhnar and issued with the
expressed approval of the Bishop him
self. The book deals with the duties of
the Roman Catholic clergy in relation
to the civil marriage laws. In the pre-
face the author states that, before the
publication of the work, he received
communications from more than 500
members of the Hungarian clergy eX-
pressing sympathy with and adherence
to his views, while only a single dissent
ing communication reached him. The
book, which purports to be practical
guide to priests and chaplains, quotes
many papal and congregational decis-
ions which serve to prove that there are
no reasons in the world which could be
construed as preventing the Roman
Catholic Church from recognizing the
civil ceremony. In conclusion, it refers
to various theological authorities who
decidedly advocate the due observance
of the laws, and who base their opinions
on the fact that the stipulation that the
civil contract is to precede the religious
celebration is contrary neither to the
laws of religion nor to morality.

Shoes are made with extremely long
pointed toes, the lines of their sides be-
ing marvels of calculation that result
in a comfortable fit, though the appear
ance of a shoe extremely narrow and
tapering to a point right in front makes
that seem impossible if a person has
any toes. Laced street shoes are at
least three inches higher than the cut
last year, the shoe for usual wear real
ly approximating the height of the

found that the high-cut lace shoe is not
only very comfortable but very becom-
ing to the foot, and no better reasons
could be urged for the more general
adopting of such a model.
