A Tire rhat cyollsts Desire.

John Mariani of Boston, a mechanical engineer, is the author of an invention which, if it is all that is claimed for it, will fill long felt want i'll the cycling world It is tire which cannot be punctured by ordinary means. In 8 woven tube or jacket lies the merit of the invention, and according to recent severe test a journey over a road strewn with tacks would not result in serious injury. The tube is covered with light coating of rubber to give it a smooth surface and make it waterproof. The very convincing test by which Mr. Mariani's invention was adjudged of great benefit to cycling was made in this city a short time ago.
 In a large loft the inventor had pre- pared bed of broken glass and sharp edged stones, to which was added a piece of canvas six feet in length in which nails and tacks were inserted, points upward The canvas was nailed to the floor. Over all these obstacles the tires were rsed dozen times without sustaining pnncture. The outer cover- ing of rubber was badly cut. It is un- derstood that company has been formed for the manufacture of the Ma riani tire, and that it will soon be placed on the market. New York Times.

 Oakland Lawyers Want No Women In
 Their Law Association.
 Miss Frances La ne is young woman of Oakland, Cal, who is causing con sternation in the learts of the members Of the Alameda L aw association Miss Lane is lawyer and she has applied for admission to u he organization, which IS at present com posed of young lawyers and students of the masculine gender. They ars natur lily overcome with fear at the thought of having among them one whose pres snce would be restraint upon freedom of speech and of action. They think she might interfere with their smoking.
 Their constitution, however, being prepared before the day of the new woman, does not provide against her. As soon as Miss Lane's application was received, there was an effort to insert a prehibitory clause i'll the constitution regarding women, but this failed A twe-thirds vote was required to change the constitution, and that was lacking. Now the young lawyers and students will have to act on Miss Lane's applica- tion and cannot return it to her wit ', the polite announcement that the visions of the constitution will a,.. p their considering it. They v ;i3 Ison' hena either to blackball her upe' . 1.4a,e ne or to accept her Miss Ls sA- '1-A 4l' y blackballing and does ,,o4 no rant;o,,1a~lS @ 1 s1 concern herself over the whole matter.

A SUCCESS s,,, EXPERIMENT
A fia" w .,ich Many Town Might Copy
 With Advantage.


 Ihf village of Batavia, N. Y, re- cenp y closed the first year of it's experi- m0 1t as the owner and manager of its o3 in system of electric lighting. It put T it's plant, which included 86 arc lights, and turned on the current for the first time on Aug 1, 1894.
 The actual cost of running these S6 lights for year was $41.62 per light per year, or little over II cents per night for each light. The first year s operation of new town plant made many extraordinary expenses, and these brought the total outlay for the year up to $6, ,050. 57. But even this was nearly $1, 200 less than the town paid private corporation to furnish it with only 72 arc lights during the preceding year.
 This is small but striking illustra- tion of what 1t is in the power of every city and town in the country to do. Millions of dollars are being drawn from the American people for nnneces- sary taxation to pay private corporations high prices for inferior lighting service. The bugbear of socialism is all that stands ill the way of putting an end to private lighting companies and making the supply of gas and electricity part of the public business of all cities and towns. Slowly but surely this bugbear is being demolished. New York Re- eorder

have resulted in more general re-
 sort to their use than heretofore. 1 Cases which some years ago would
 have been set down as merely the
 result of senility are now classified
 among certain forms of mental dis
 ease and counted as such. Individ-
 uals who would formerly have been kept at home and obscured from the public statistician, are now sent to
 the asylum and counted among the serious cases of dementia. Above all, the advance in the methods of collating and recording statistics has resulted in the counting of many cases which formerly would have es- capped notice.
 Weighing these considerations at their full value, it will be seen that the apparent growth of insanity in Great Britain may in fact be no growth at all. And as for insanity in this country, there is no reaso0 to suppose that it is becoming any more prevalent than in the elder land.
 The t9.lk,about the nervous tenn pefame nt of Americans and the high tension under which they live and
 
 work has had the effect of securing. an easy credence for stories of dan ge erous tendencies among the peo- p'le. That there are tendencies in- furious to nerve and mind no one will deny. But taking all things into consideration and comparing the two eoQntries-offsetting one peeuliarity with aaother-there is no reason to believe that the growth of insanity here is any more matter for alarm than it is in Great Britain.

IS iNN4NT 1T INCREASING9
l0 licago Recordl

Considers ole speculation has been awakened lately by the recent an nouncemf mt of some British alien ists thai, so far as concerns the peo- pie of treat Britain insanity is in- creas'ng. The recently published report of the commissioners in lun- acy for the British kingdom shows a marked increase in the number of insane. The statistics indicate that twenty-five years ago the proportion of insane in the Kingdom was AT to 1,000, 900 of population. The figures for the year 1894 show ratio of 588 to 1,000,000. Were this increase to be carried on at the same rate it is easy to figure out an alarming num- Der of insane people and startling deterioration of the human race a couple of centuries hence.
 It is to be remembered, however, thatnuch of this apparent increase is superficial. In the first place the advance of the alienist's science has caused the quicker apprehension of cases which few years ago would have been ignored as instances of mere eccentricity. The increased accommodations of the asylums, also,

he Searched the Velocity and
Found a Lot Of Opium.

The custom house officials have
been very suspicious of the bark
Velocity that arrived from Hong
kong a few days ago, and have
consequently kept the strictest
kind of watch on the crew of the
ship.
For the last three days Archie
Gilfllan and his assistants have
been searching, but not until yes
terday morning did anything come
to light.
Sixty-four tins of opium were
found hidden In different places
ten in the hatch-cover at the
fore-peak, and fifty In slush buc-
kets, paint cans and the cargo.
When the Cinnamon constitut-
ing the crew of the Velocity got
wind of the fact that their tins of
opium were gone, their anger knew
no bounds, giving vent to it by
accusing one another of having
something to do with the disap-
pearauce of the stuff.
The Chinese sailors of the We
locity are a very clever set of fell
lows in the concealment of opium,
One lot was found rolled up loosely
in mating and put in a very CON
spicuous place, so that any one
passing would hardly think o
looking in such q prominent place
Every inch of the vessel and
every piece of the cargo has beer
examined, and it is not very proba
BILE that there is any more opium
aboard.
The loss of the opium means
about 5000 out of the pockets Of
those who have had a hand in The
deal.

Peculiar signal Lights.

A number of gentlemen noticed
a peculiar travelling light out near
Diamond Head, early Tuesday
night. It is either thought to have
been a lantern let loose for sport or
a signal of some sort. The light
came from southwark and had the
appearance of travelling with the
wind current. A similar light was
noticed near Tantalus last night.
Under the circumstances it seems
somewhat suspicious, and the
theory is advanced that the lights
are signals from some of the camps
in the mountains of the uncap-
tured rebels.

charge was changed he had not
