The establishment of m "ambu
lance street car" service in ST. Louis is
the puttsng into effect Of an idea long
contcndcd for by the health commits.
5ioncr Of that city, Dr. George Ho,
man. Efforts TO secure legislation
having failed, DR.. Homan succeeded
in interesting the officials OF a street
car company, who have built an ambu-
lance car after n plum made by the
doctor. This vehicle i'll itself is only
modified street CIR, especially con
structcd for easy and relatively noise,
less running along trolley lines, and
fitted up with such apparatus MS might
be needed by inyalid5 who temporarily
occupy it whilo en- route to hospital.
But the plan on which the ambulance
car is to operate is believed to be a.
together unique. 1t will pass over
regular routes, including, presumably,
all trolley lines of the city, for the ex-
elusive purpose of conveying sick OF
injured persons to and from hospitals,
As it runs according to schedule, pa
tients may be in readiness ut any givot
locality at the time when the ear is due
there. 1t is expected that hospital,
not on trolley line will build termi
nals connecting them with the nearcs
railway that patients may be brough
by the ambulance car to their yer,
doors, Harper's Weekly.

But Maud had burst into wild hys-

she recovered even the appearance Of
calm.
All the while Mr.. Higgins sat star
ing at her with the hard, Implying
expression of man who compassion
ates himself too much to have any
feeling for others.
"Then it seems that this is the man
you really love?" he said at last, when
the sobbing ceased.
Maud did not answer. Her silence
and her bowed head were eloquent in
themselves.
"Well, what are you going to do?"
he continued.
Maud did not reply She did not
know. She did not seem to hare suf-
ficient command of her faculties to bo
able to evolve plan; she drew long
quivering breath, and wiped her eyes
mlscrably.

Holford lay moaning on his bed of
anguish, he heard suddenly a voice

The farmer who used to rouse his
sons and daughters in the morning by
calling out to them: "Wake up and
hear the grass grow" little dreamed,
perhaps, that the time would come
when it would be among the posslbll-
tiles actually to hear the growing of
vegetation; but this sound may now be
made audible to ordinary ears by
means of the microphone. A wire Is
attached to pencil by one end, the
other is conducted to a drum covered
with platinum foil of a special sort.
This platinum is so arranged rs to
complete the circuit of a galvAnic bat
terry with an electric bell attachment.
This bell is made to ring by the grow
ing Of the plant, and continues ring
ing while the growth covers the width
of the strips in the platinum drum
cover. If these stripes are arranged
with spaces between, the bell is silent
until the plant has grown over the
space and even with the next strip. An
apparatus of this sort If not hard to
construct and would form most in
tcresting and instructive addition to
scientific experiments in school or
college classes. Nov York Led ger.

Seymour as much as to say: "Thon

not surprising that Maud soymour's

Intoxicating influence to which she
was exposed.
All that she lad to do was to saw
"No" to Jael, at thc right moment and
then 'Yca" to Mr.. Higgins. Could
anything be more easy? A little firm
ness, a little common sense and the
thing was done. Then farewell for
ever to poverty. Moreover, she would
put. ths case so sensibly to Jack that
he would quito understand and agree
that she was acting for the best.
