F. H. Ford puts forward in an cleo
trical journal a strong disclaimer Of
the statement which has been made
in a daily paper that "for the average
young man the field of electrical en-
cheering offers more promise of sue
cess than law, authorship, the grocery
business or knife grinding" Mr.. Ford
says that serious harm is being done
in the continual holding up of the pro-
fession Of the electrical engineer as
one Offering almost unlimited POSSIBLE
tiles in the matter of salaries and de
mand for men. The closing of many
large works owing to financial trouble
or patent litigation has thrown a large
number of men of both experience and
ability on the market, and the supply
of engineers is in excess of the de-
mand. The struggle for place which
has naturally followed has forced
down wages so low that the average
engineer cannot command a better
salary than the head ~bookkeeper of a
large wholesale concern. The young
man who chooses electrical engineer
ing as a profession must be prepared
to work hard and long, and for wages
which would ordinarily be considered
inadequate for the work done. Ii he
loves engineering for it's W sake,
there is a as good a field in the cleo
trical as il any branch of it, but the
idea that there are positions with
large salaries attached waiting to be
filled by him is q mistake. There are
but few ~high-salaried positions at best,
and they are occupied by men who
have large experience and solid in
luence with the capitalists at the back
of the company. The young electrical
engineer will be obliged to spend at
least six years in preparation before
he can earn enough to barely pay his
expenses, and nearly all this time he
will be paying out money instead OF
earning it. The same time spent in
preparation for either law or medicine
would qualify him for beginning prac,
tice, while if it were devoted to bust
ness it should give tangible and salts.
factory results. The young engineer
usually has to start business for him
self with very limited capital, If any
and has to accept a subordinate posi-
ton with some company. Here his
best ideas as well as his best work
are given almost entirely for the bene
fit of the employer, and he has to suf
fer for his failures as much as if he
were working for himself. Mr.. Fore
maintains that the demand in electric
ity at the present time is not for edu
Gated electricians, but for educated

Mr.. Ford thinks 1t is only when CAPT

compare favorably with that of tn

One of the most curious and interest

Geological gardens is dead. 1t was
the fsh-cat from India. The animal
looks very much like a commO house

Therein lies the difference between the
late lamented fish cat and others of
it's species. 1t simply yearned for wa
ter In it's native land it not only took
hourly swims for it's health, but it
earned it's living in the streams which
it f%requented. When the pangs of
hunger approached. it was work to
go out in the river. dive under the
water, and catch fish as they passed.
1t was a clever fisherman. Nothing
with rs was too quick for it, and
consequently it was always sleek and
well-fed. When brought to the Zoo"
this longing to go out and catch fish
was pretty well developed, but be-
came gradually dulled by receiving its
fish already caught. The keeper fed
it fish every day, and little else. 1t
thrived for a long time. having been
an inmate of the Zoo" for Yeas, but
a short time ago it was taken sick
and gradually grew worse, until it
died.

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting

dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Cat-boats pure and simple should
never rave with any other rig. Cat
boats with a jib-such rs are used so
much along the southern coast of
Massachusetts. Rhode Island, and
Conuecticut-are an entirely different
kind of boat, though they are general
ly known under the title of cat-boat.
They are for deep-sea sailing; they
stand heavy weather. and. on the 9th
er hand, they are less susceptible to
the influence of light breeZes and calm.
The harbor cat-boats should always
be confined to harbor racing. They
are not built for a choppy S ca, and
consequently do not sail well in a
large bay or in the open sea. They
are built low in the water, usually
have no "house" on them, and the
sail area is much larger in proportion
to the water-line measurement than
in the case of the cat-bOat with it's
small jib. Quite different from these
two is the small "jib-and-mainsail'
boat so much used to-day in racing.

great mistake often made by a club

so anxious to race that they either all
enter, and each does the best he can,
or they make some impossible attempt
at time allowance. IT is far better,
if there are in any sea town oily eight
boats. and two of each kind already
mentioned, that the race should be

Sports and A~musements of African
Natives.

Natives.
I remember seeing a game, which
for want of a better name 1 will call
football, played at a village in the
breezy uplands of Central Africa, be-
longing to a chief called Majamboni.
Rough goals were put up at each end,
of the green, and sides being chosen,
the ball was kicked from the middle
of the ground. The game was played
much in the same way that u AS
sociation game is played, but there
was a good deal of 'handling' and
not much idea of the rules of off
side" The natives understood "drib-
bling wonderfully well, and l saw
some remarkably good play, for they
were clever at lodging and passing
the bail back to their own side. Still
there seemed to be no close OF regular
rules, each a playing pretty much
as he saw fit. The sides, moreover,
were not limited to any particular
number, and the ball being struck
from hand to hand, was as often in the
air as on the ground.
The game, which was started with
about ten boys on each side, was soon
Joined in by the elders, until in a short
time almost every grown-up man in

all turned out to see it, and were quite
as noisy in their demonstrations and
showed quite as much interest in it
as the spectators do at a football

Dampness and Rheumatism.

Modern science is playing havoc
with many of the cherished beliefs of
the last generation. Few things are
more generally accepted than the
causative connection between damp
ness of air and soil and the prevalence
of rheumatic fever; Yet DR.. News
holme. an English physician. now
states-before the Royal College of
Physicians-that dampness has moth
ing to do with it. There is doubtless
a rheumatism, a painful condition of
joints. ligaments and tendons, which
is extremely susceptible to damp.
There are hobbling old men, who by
virtue of their malady. become trusty
village storm signals. and their mala-
dy is rheumatism but that is a very
different thing from rheumatic fever.
This disease is now found to vary
more or less inversely with the rain
fall; and comparing the yearly and
quarterly local rainfalls with the Incl
dence of rheumatic fever as shown by
hospital statistics, it is noted that a
heavy rainfall is usually associated
with a low amount, and a light rain
fall with an excessive amount of the

was observed between them. Even
more at variance with what has been
so commonly accepted were the re-
suits of observations in regard to the
relation between the level of the ground
water and the prevalence of the dis
ease. The theory of dampness would
lead one to expect a greater prevalence
of rheumatism at times when the sub
soil water approached nearer to the
surface of the ground. Just the OppO-
site is the case. Although the lower
ing of the ground water is no always
accompanied by a rise in the rheuma-
tism curve" it has constantly been
remarked hat an excessive prevalence
never occurs when the ground water
is high. Another novelty is the theory
that rheumatic fever in cpl
denies. analogous to those of infec-
tious diseases. 1t is indeed, probable
that the fever is. like them, an infec-
tive disease, not necessarily infective
directly from man to man. but by way
of the house, or the soil. or the sur
roundings, and that among the cOndi-
tons favorable to it's spread is that
state of soil which accompanies a pro-
longed lowering of the ground water
/ in other words, the exposure to air
of a subsoil usually lying in water.
The gist of DR.. NewshOlme'S structure
Is that rheumatic fever is a ground air
disease, and that much more care
should be taken than is commonly
done in the construction of houses to
prevent the ground air being drawn
into our dwellings.
