The Way. &c.,
JoAn Bull has at length eone to the
realization that there are such thinep
. electric roads in the world, and that
possibly they may be q good thing. An
American syndicate has secured the
franchise for an electric road in the
city OF Coventry. which has about co.
900 population. and the work II going
ahead.
An experimental road of six miles
was put down in the suburbs Of the
city Of Leeds. and the city fathers Of
various cities and towns have been
"5unketed" over to Leeds and intro
duced to the mysteries Of the American
trolley system. The Coventry authori-
ties were the first to yield to its seduc-
tons.
The method Of building street rail-
ways in England greatly lessons the
cost Of installation to the promoting
capitalist The city puts down and
owns the tracks or permanent way.
The operating company leases the
track for twenty-one years, and at the
expiration Of the lease it may be re-
newed, or the city may buy the plant
and rolling stock at an appraised valu-
alton.
The Coventry road has eight miles of
track. which Is all single track, but
with long sidings. The estimated cost
Of rolling stock, poles, wires and power
station is $250.000. Everything is to DO
furnished from America. even to the
poles for the wires. It was originally
supposed that English poles would do.
but when put up they were found I'M
equal to tho strain Of supporting the
wires. and the necessary poles had to
b ordered from Philadelphia

which will probably be called upon to
put In similar roads in nearly all the
English cities. The conservatism Of
the English people on this subject
seems to be q pronounced today a. It
Francis Train put down his first tram
way In Parliament street, London. and
was then compelled to take up his rails
BY the outraged and indignant public.
The continental cities have taken
more kindly to the electric railroad
system. and In fact the first trolley
road in the world was in the streets Of
Berlin. This road had q trolley rid
ing on . wire at the side Of the street,
with flexible wire connection to the
car. The upward pressure system with
the familiar trolley pole Of today was
. later invention.
A firm Of English electricians have
recently tackled the conduit electric
road problem. and produced something
IN the nature Of q small tunnel and
motor therein. with q projection which
reaches through the slot and pushes the
street car along.

Launching . Ship.

Launching . Ship.
Impressive as the launch of a grea
vessel always is, it nevertheless seem
q simple matter. All there is to do l.
to build two toboggan slides under tn
ship, raise her from the supports on
which she has been resting, put lot Of
tallow on the slides, and when you
are ready, saw loose the thick plank
that holds the ship by the nose and let
her glide into the water. You must
have the wine to christen her and a
crowd to cheer her, and some tugs to
catch her and bring her back to her
pier, but these are all mere details and
it would seem as II any ship might al
most launch herself if she had half
a chance.
A launch is simply taking ship from
the side of a stream down to the bank
and dropping her in the water where
she belongs. This involves a task Of
lifting a mass Of iron, in a ship like the
st. Louis, Of about 1000 tons. and the
work of lowering 1t carefully for dis
lance Of from twenty to forty feet. All

thirty seconds. during which the vessel
moves nearly COG feet.
At once you can see that this is an
enormous task. 1t involves the great
est responsibility in short time that
the shipbuilder meets. There is no op-
portunity to correct errors. Every me-
chanical appliance must work to per-
lection and the manual details must be
as nicely adjusted as the parts of a
watch. You can launch vessel as you
can build one. on the rule of thumb, or
the hit-or-miss plan. and you may not
come to grief; but it is best to put all
these things in charge of the master
spirit called science. which has done so
much for our physical advancement in
this world, for then you know that it
will be done OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES St.

the stomach. After trying to
remove the lump with stomach
pump the patient was put under ether.
and cut two inches long made In the
stomach. Upon inserting the two nm
gers through this hole the physicians
made a very startling discovery. The
stomach was found to be occupied by a
mass Of rusty nails, many of them
nearly three inches in length. Some
were very sharp, bent and twisted, and
as a consequence they had to be taken
out with the two fingers. When about
half the mass had been removed piece
Of matted hair. nearly two inches In
length, was withdrawn from the lower
end OF the aesophagus. When the
stomach was finally cleared Of its un-
usual contents the net results were as
follows: One hundred and nintety-two
nails. the majority being two and one
half inches in length. and many even
longer: half a screw nail, a piece Of
brass wire, carpet tack, several small
pieces Of stick, a button, and the mass
Of hair already mentioned. The whole
weighed one pound nine and one-half
ounces.
The wound in the stomach was then
closed. the patient was put to bed be-
tween warm blankets and q quarter Of
grain of morphia was administered n.y.
podermically. But in spite of all the
doctors could do the man died four
hours after the operation, which had
lasted two hours.-L0nd0a Letter.
