Electric Tugs.

The proposed new departure in the
propulsion of tugs by electricity on the
river Spree, at Berlin, Is assuming
practical shape. The scheme is to en-
tablish a service of tugs on the seven
and one-half miles of the river which
passes through the capital, by con-
Meeting the boats to n trolley line. The
present freight charge for covering the
distance Is $50, but 1t is estimated
that by the aid of electricity this
charge will be reduced about one-half.
The success Of such scheme would
be quickly reflected in this country,
where the use of electric launches for
both pleasure and commercial pur-
poses has been retarded from the fact
OF the scarcity OF charging stations
for the renewal of the necessary stor-
age batteries. AS soon as people begin
to find that they can be fairly sure OF
being able to rccharge their batteries
whenever they are I'm the neighbor-
hood Of a trolley car line, an extraordi-
nary impetus will be given to the sum.
mer business in electric launches.

This Is the name OF a new disease
which has made Its Appearonce 10
Brooklyn. n. ". and che following Is q
newspaper account OF the PATHOLOGY OF
and remedy, for the dlsense, as given
by a physician who was interviewed
on the subject: .sT,olley heart Is rath-
er an indication aat the nervous sys-
tenn Is n little at of gear than an all
ment by Itself All you need Is to have
your neryris system toned up bit.
You SEQ 1t comes from running the
TROLLEY cars at full speed one minute
AND stopping them short the next min
we, and keeping up ihat alienation
for q ride of two or ylhree miles. The
worse time for Il Is the rush hours At
night. Then all tAe cars are behind
time, and the motormen are trying to
catch up to the fine table and every
body is in a hurry to get home, and
a group of people are standing on every
corner waiting to get on the car The
scarts the car at full speed
and the sudden rush forward causes
shock to the nervous centre about the
pit Of the stomach, which makes n
sudden effort to adapt itself to the sit
nation. Then, just as soon as the nerves
have been regulated to top speed they
receive another wrench as the motor
man stops the car short to let more
passengers on. Thus there Is a sudden
strain, sudden relaxation, and then
another wrench on the nerves. It's like
catching boy by the scruff Of the neck
and shaking the life out OF him. Apply
his quick alienation of sudden start
ng and sudden stopping to a man
whose nerves have been at high ten
sion at his work all day and you get
wreck. The proper way for a man to
20 home after his work il calmly, even
Y, smoothly, not by starts and jerks.
That's the way the trolley heart Is
started. Why, l have a patient who
vas the best husband and father in the
world until they put in the trolley.
After year OF it he was attacked with
rolley heart, and when he'd get home
It night he'd be in such n state or ner-
'ous irritation that his family couldn't
tand him."

Some Facts.

1t has been found that the more
heighta man has the longer he is like
ly to live, provided he takes care of
himself. Investigation by statisti-
clan Of mortuary records has resulted
in this knowledge. This same inquiry
disclosed the fact that women are
more likely to live to be fifty years of
age than men, but that after that age
Ia the man Is likely to live longer than
the woman. The number of marriages
in civilized countries where records
are kept shows the proportion to he
seventy-five weddings to every 1000
individuals.
Persons who are born In the spring
are generally OF much more robust
constitution than those ~ho come into
the world at other times In the year.
Births and deaths are much more fire.

Der OF men throughout the civilized
world who are capable of bearing

fixed by the different governments for
their soldiers, liz one-fourth Of the TO-
al population.

INDUSTRIOUS Bees.
n Three Hours They FIJI Mans Hat
with Honey.

with Honey.
'sTalk about honey" said the man
from California. why You people In
Louisiana don't know what honey Is.
Out In my State we go out and plug a
dead tree and the honey flows like
water from a barrel. All a man needs
to start a hive Ii to go out and play the
accordion and he'll have ten swarms
buzzing about him In less than a min
ute.
"A funny thing happened to me when
/ was down on my orchard near Pas
sadena. / was wearing fine silk hat
at the time, and one day WHEN the sun
was shining brightly and the birds
were singing and the air was filled with
the hum Of insects, went into the field
TO see about lot of budded peach
trees. AS walked among the trees 1
managed to snag my hat against tree
limb and prod small round hole In
the crown, and fearing l would COM
pletely ruin 1t, / placed 1t on a tree
stump and continued my investigation
with handkerchief tied over my hair.
! guess l must have been out in the
field for about three hours, and when
I went to get my hat ] saw bee go
into the hole In the top. This kind OF
surprised me and l halted. Then an
other bee went in and one came out,
and while / looked I'll be hanged IL
there wasn't continual stream Of bees
going in and coming out of the hole.
Well, didn't exactly wish to pick up
the hat and risk being stling to death.
So concluded to get stick and scare
them off. Nary scare, though, for the
bees kept - coming and going In a
steady stream. Finally l called one Of
my men and explained the situation
He went Off and finally returned with
a wad of cotton batting, which he
fastened on the end OF stick. This
he set fire to and soon smoked the bees
out Of the country. Then l went for
my hat.
well, sir, you may believe me or
not, as you wish, but those COMPOUNDED
bees had actually opened hive inside
Of the beaver and the thing was hall
filled with honey. l knew California
was strong on bees, but that just beat
my time, and say again, If you want
to see bees come to California"

Rubber Sails.

A proposition is at present in the
wind TO make the sails of ships of rub
Der instead Of canvas. 1t Is sup
posed that IL roped strongly along foot,
luff and leach, the result will be SUI
perior to the canvas sails. Surely, how
ever, sudden increase OF wind power
would expand the sail too much and
cause some difficulty In governing the
course Of the boat. Paper pulp ID
again suggested as being an adequate
substitute for canvas. When pressed
In sheets and stitched together IL
would make light and effective SAIL

Cedars and fig trees are rarely struck
by lightning. The beech, the larch, the
fir and the chestnut seem to be pecu-
liarly obnoxious to the 'bolts of Jove."
There are trees, however, which appear
to attract rather than to rcpel the
lightning flash. The trees generally
enumerated in the category Of those
which the lightning Is most apt to
strike are the oak, the yew, the elm
and the Lombardy poplar.-Ram's
