NOVEL READING.
An Excessive Amount of It Is Declared to

An Excessive Amount of 1t Is Declared to
initiate Against Marriage.
A writer in a monthly review, dis
cussing Mr.. Balfour's Foundations of
Belief" takes occasion to say that solid
books, dealing with the great problems
of mind and morals, are no longer read
except by few specialists That an ex-
elusive diet of novel reading is extreme
ly debihtating is proved by one series Of
facts which are observable In every part
Of the civilized world. Men and women
among the reading classes no longer
marry in anything like such numbers as
they formerly did, and the reason is
that they have no pluck in them to face
lives Of Spartan simplicity on limited
incomes.
The result is disastrous to women, in
asmuch as it prevents many of them
ever marrying at all. For if woman
does not marry when she is young very
few men care to marry her when she is
middle aged. Men marry in middle life,
but they do not marry women Of their
own age. They marry young women.
The physiological moral is that it would
be vastly better for both men and wom-
en- to read novels for recreation only,
and when at work to read solid books
which really exercise and develop the
brain. In practice the result of this
would be that both men and women
would have better and stronger brains.
They would marry earlier and with more
courage. Tbey would face the world

Enough to Convict Him.
II Is not strange that the southern col
ored man has vague and mistaken no.
tions about property rights. He and his
ancestors were for ages enslaved and
had no rights whatever, even to their
own persons. Therefore all they could
gain was through treachery and deceit,
and it is only natural that these traits
bred by slavery remain as inherited char
acteristics, now that the negro enjoys
the blessings of freedom. It may take
several generations before their habit of
stealing will be unlearned, for even
when the colored man becomes religious
his easily besetting sin will be most Of
ten found in his not respecting the prop
erty rights Of others. And thereby hangs
q tale.

field Mans Invention.

From an electrical exchange the fol-
lowing facts concerning an invention
which the inventor thinks will revolu-
tionize the making of modern war ord
nance are obtained. 1t is by Alvaro s.
Krotz, al electrician of Springfield, ..
He is chief engineer of the Springfield
Street Railway company.
The results of this invention arc
noiseless but deadly weapon rs destruc-
tive and terrible as the most powerful of
modern cannon. The agent which the
inventor has employed in place of pow
dor, gun cotton or dynamite is an cleo
trio current, and tho results of expert
ments made recently were held to be us
satisfactory rs if these agencies had been
used
Three years ago Mr.. Krotz was grant
cd patent on an electric regulator,
which has been in use in the street rail
way power house ever since. Three
months ago II second patent was granted
Tor an Improvement on this regulator.
and about this timo Mr.. krotz was DOS
scssed with tho idea that he could use
his regulating device in throwing pro-
jectiles. He went to work and made sew
oral experiments, Recently the gun was
tested secretly and proved success be-
You'd expectations.
Tho gun was simply brass cylinder
open at both ends. Around this tube,
which was 8 feet long and 90 feet
thick, with a smooth one inch bore. en-
tire length the electric current was so
arranged that bullets were mado tom
poraly magnets, arranged with positive
and negative poles or lines parallel with
tho length Of tho tube. Tho balls or bul-
lets were attracted by tho lines Of force
after them, giving tho projectiles over
increasing impetus Us they passed along
the tube or gun.
MI. krotz says that the Especial ad-
vantagcs of the gun are that it cannot
explode; that it may be made very light
weight Ill proportion to its capacity for
throwing projectiles that it is economic
III expense and operation that the limit
OF the number of balls it will throw
within given timo is the number OF
balls that can be got to its breach con-
secutively In given time. / estimate
that five foot gun under 500 volt, 100
