FACTS TERSELY TOLD.

The fire hazard in electricity has led | to the formation of an electrical bureau | by the national board of fire underWrit- | CTS. The headquarters are in Chicago, where an efficient system of inspection and testing has been developed The bu- reau issues to insurance agencies ire quent reports of tests of new electrical appliances and quarterly reports of fires caused by electricity, with details of the | exact cause when known The practical value of the dissemination of such in- formation is found to be very great. G. w. Johnson, a well-known authority on chemistry, writes that the taste of the cucumber is due to poisonous sub stance called "fungin" that is found in all mushrooms and fungoid growth as
 well as in cucumbers This poison ac- counts for the effect of cucumbers on some stomachs
 London nets about $140,000 year on the gleanings from it's dust-chutes, and it is estimated that under proper system the waste of New York would give the city gross revenue of about $7000000 a year. The estimate may be high, but it
 is undoubtedly true that the waste ought to bring in a large revenue.

 Under the new French arbitration law | there were fifty-one appeals by workmen | last year and four by employers. The masters refused to arbitrate in twenty l four cases and the workmen in sixteen. | There were 391 strikes during the year pr. Bertram Windle has found that | hens eggs matched between the poles of | a magnet "produced an unusual number l of abnormal chicks" It also appeared | that the development of the eggs of trout was arrested by passing an elec- trical current through the water. The French artificial pearl is produced | by boring a hole in the shell of the oys- | ter and introducing small bit of glass | which the animal covers with "nacre," | or mother of pearl, to stop thtNirritation. | Such pearls are flat on one side and of l less value than those produced naturally. | Prof John A. Simpson of Raleigh. N. | C., blind from birth, has mastered math- | ematics from addition to quaternions' mentally; has learned ancient and mod ern languages, and like many other blind people is a great musician. His blindness IS without doubt the cause of his extra ordinary mental development It is thought that the too great use of pen and paper or of slate and pencil to relieve the memory has a marked effect in check ing mental growth The industrious blind, relieved of this check, often &C., complish what the seeing regard as miracles.

Only one agent. Charles Stone, of the Chicago and Eastern Illinois was present from north of the Ohio river.
 The morning session was consumed with discussing the veXed question of Texas rates. which have been greatly disorganized for several months.
 A resolution was passed re-affirming the agreement entered into at Atlanta January 15, 1895, which is that all rates must be maintained at all hazards.
 Adjournment was taken until August 5. when schedule of rates will be finally fixed by agreement with all connecting lines to the north and west. Stop-oVer passes will also probably be allowed, as the eneampments at Knoxville and Louisville, and the dedication of the Chickamauga national military park at Chattanooga. are to be concurrent events with the opening of the exposition.

At New Orleans.

New Orleans, July 3O.-Dan McFar- Ian won his third game from New Or leans today by an error of Stafford's in the first inning and several very Texas league hits which followed. Sechrist was an easy mark for Evansville, who hit the ball very hard, and after they had scored four runs in three innings off him Smith took his place. and except in the fourth inning, when they made one they failed to connect with the plate. Zimmerman was sick and Bancote es- saved to play short, but he is not Zim by any means, and so the locals lost. Score:

BASEBALL.
National League Standing.
At Mobile.

Mobile, July 30.-The second game of the Nashville-Mobile series was played in the presence of the smallest audience that has probably ever assembled at the park, but it was nevertheless, snappy exhibition of ball playing, and resulted in a victory for the Nashville team. The visitors were in the game from the start to the finish, and there was not a chirp about the decisions of the umpire and there was no occasion for a kick A thunder storm came up about an hour before the game and cooled the atmos- phere considerably, so that the playing was more of pleasure than on the two or three previous days.
 The visitors won by punching their hits while the locals were unable to touch Moran, who let them down with three hits. The following is the sum mary:
 R H E Mobile ..........1 100000 O-2 8 Nashville ......1 0 1 1 ? 0 1 %- F 2 Batteries-Ely and Somers; Moran and Sweeney.

That the Breweries of the St Vincent Brotf
 erhood Be Closed.
 Pittsburg, July 30.-Bishop Phelan of the Pittsburg diocese of the Catholic church will this week receive a petition from the priests of his district asking that he take some action to close the big breweries of the St. Vincent brotherhood at Latrobe. The priests have long re- retto breweries with disfavor. During the retreat at Loretto, which came to a close last week, the matter was brought to a crisis by the determination that the priesthood should not be tarnished any longer by the liquor business if their pe- titions would avail. The brewery of the St. Vincent has become famous, par ticularly in the states of Ohio Penn sylvania and New York.
