Electrical PROGRESS j.

A local electric light company at
Springfield, Mass, utilizes water
power at Indian Orchard, 6 I-2 miles
away. The installation is 5000
volt two-phase system, with pres
ent capacity of 325-horse power.
The Cliff Paper Company of Nj
agara Falls and another company at
Watertown, n. ", have added to
their steam plants electric equip
ments, in order to obtain the advan-
tages of greater steadiness of speed
secured by running their paper ma
chimes by electric motors.
1t has been observed that poplar
trees are particularly subject to be
struck by lightning. Recent expert
ments show that woods containing
fats are poor conductors of electro
city, while those containing starch
are better conductors. To the latter
class belong the poplars, oaks and
willows; consequently they form
natural lightning rods. Some au-
thorities are of the opinion that pop
lars planted near buildings would
afford excellent protection from light
ming.

Could Give Mckinley Points.

The Boer government in the Trans
vaal could even give Mr.. Mckinley
some points in arranging the scl,ed-
ules Of protective duties. For cx-
ample: The import duty on ham
and bacon is Is cents per pound, to-
gethcr with an advalorem duty Of
! 1-e per cent; the duty on flour is
$I.7S per 100 pounds and 7 IL per
cent ad valorcm; butter is taxed Is
cents per pound, and eggs IL cents
per dozen. By the imposition of
these outrageous taxes upon imported
necessities, of conse, the thrifty
Beers are enabled to commenslrateIy
increase the prices of the products of
their farms, as we'll as to thrust upon
the outsiders the whole cost of gov
eminent. This sweeping imposition
of ad valorcm and specific duties
upon food is probably unparalleled,

War Talk Is Unpopular.

Senator Mills found yesterday that
the task of firing the senatorial heart
is much more difficult than it was Il
few weeks ago. His proposal that
the President he directed to take pos
session of Cuba with the military
and naval forces of the United States,
unless Spain consents to grant the
inhabitants "the rightful power of
local self-government." fell on stony
ground in the Senate, and his Joint
resolution went to the calendar, where
it will doubtless be permitted to re-
main.
The change which has come over
the temper of Congress is a retlec-
ton of the sentiment of the country.
Business men have found BY short
but costly experience that war talk
at Washington exercises very de-
pressing influence on trade. Nat
urally, such talk has become unpop-
ular, and the wiser heads in Congress
are fully conscious of the fact

A BRIDE WITH WIT.
She Fixed Things So That Her Husband
Needn't Move.

Needn't Move.
Not far from the Art institute is q
handsome office building, the three
upper floors of which are devoted to
bachelor apartments. Some years
ago gentlemen ard their wives wore
allowed to live there, and sonio few
ladies who were in business i'll tho
heart of tho city made it their home.
Two OF three years ago an edict
against the admission of others of
the feminine gender was suddenly
issued. Thenceforth ladies who in.
quired for suits and gentlemen who
wanted to move in with their wives
We're informed that they couldn't
break into the building with crow.
bar and pickax. No amount of
persuasion or offer of high rents
could bulge the manager of tho
building. He was obdurate. No In.
dies should move in. Those who
were there gradually left in the
course of time, until today there are
only two or three ladies left.
When the bachelors get married,
they simply move out and establish
homes elsewhere. The holidays
found one bachelor in a terrible pic
kle. He was going to be married,
but he had lived in the building so
long he didn't want to move out.
Then he began to figure in his mind
whether "A rule could be violated
without being broken. He concluded
it couldn't. He appealed to the man
ager to let him bring his wife there.
The gentleman declined to listen to
the proposition.
$50 they don't want mo in that
building?" said the sweetheart of
the bachelor. well, if hadn't in
tended to marry you before, would
now, or some other bachelor in that
building, just to show them I can
get in, in spite Of their rules, and
I'll tell you how to fix it,"
Then the two lovers had long
confidential talk. Next day the
young man went down to the Office
of the company that owns the build
ing and departed with formidable
looking document in his hand. The
next week the marriage took place.
In week the young couple return
ed from u bridal tour, and the young
lady's trunks were taken ut once to
the bachelors quarters. When
the couple arrived at the building,
the manager was storming and was
preventing the trunks from being
placed in the rooms. The appear

that you couldn't bring your wife
here?'
eyes, believe you did," said tho
smiling husband as he unfolded tho
document he had received at the
company's office the week before no
was married.
"Well, bless my eyes," said tho
manager as he glanced over it, eff
you haven't nailed us. We can't put
you and your wife out now. Take
your rooms'
The perspicacity of the bride
proved moro powerful than the
crowbar or pickax. As she suggest
ed, the bachelor, before getting mar
ried, had gone to tho treasurer of tho
company and taken out two years
lease. He had the lease before tho
wedding ceremony; there was no
false pretense; the rooms were his
to use as he pleased for two years.

The Louisville Courier Journal,
quoting figures furnished by Worth
ington c. Ford, Chief of the bureau
of statistics, shows that the percent.
age of imports of articles of food
and animals was ii less in 1895
than for the preceding fifteen years
that the percentage of articles that
enter into various processes of do
nestle industry was nearly 3 I-2
greater; of articles wholly or par
TALLY manufactured for use as mate
rials, substantially the same; of man
ufactured, tritle less; of articles of
luxury, Il trif1e more. Manufactured
goods formed 1923 per cent of the
total imports IN 1895; the average
for the preceding IS years was 1894,
slight decrease, which the Courier
Journal considers as showing that
the manufacturers We're not discrim-
mated against in the new tariff, but
that they came rs near holding the
American market as other pro.
ducers.
According to these figures the
threatened overwhelming invasion of
our markets by European manufact-
urers, menace with which protec-
ZIONIST advocated use to club voters
into acquiescence in their theories, is
sort of bugaboo which must vanish
when facts are produced and fair
comparison is made. The Courier
Journal concludes:
This comparison also tends to show
that the laws of trade are stronger
than tariff acts to this extent, that
the people will get what they want
in spite of restrictive legislation.
They have to pay for it, of course,
and the protective tariffs have trans
ferred great deal of money from
their pockets to those of the pro-
tected manufacturers, who have put
up their prices in many cases to the
prices of the imported goods with
the tariff added.
