car service of London. The tramways,
which correspond to our car lines, are
all of 4 feet 81 inches gauge except two
lines, which are only feet 6 inches.
There are i'll the city II distinct routes,
of which 5S are in use. The mileage OF
the worked lines is given as $40. The
average speed of a London tram is 5.48
miles per hour; that of London Omni-
bus is Is. miles per hour. The average
tram fare is 67-100ths of penny q

There are $40 cars ON the lines, which
among them run II, $50 single journeys
during their days work, which lasts on
the average 16 hours and A minutes.
The oranibuses are more than twice as
many. There are 2,130 of them, and

TAKE CARE oE The CHEST.
Aud the Rest of the Body VIII Take Care
of Itself.

<AhN gnG ANGbb VI inc l1OQy VIII rake care
of Itself,
''Take care Of your chest" says a
physical culture teacher, "and the rest
of your body will take care of itself,
The chest is the chief thing to be remeni-
bered. Keep it we'll raised and your head,
spine and shoulders will involuntarily
assume their proper positions without
any effort on your part. The cry from
parents and teachers used to be, Throw
your shoulders backl But this mistaken
notion is now completely exploded. The
shoulders have nothing to do with cor
rect posture. 1t is all the chest, and it's
elevation or depression will regulate the
rest of the body. The chest is the seat
of all things spiritual, elevated and en-
nobling. Bring it into prominence and
you bring into prominence the best
qualities Of your nature.
lit has been said that whatever psy-
Geological attribute is most marked in
a human being is correspondingly most
marked in his physical being. If he's a
glutton, his stomach is most in evil
dence; if scholar or brain worker, his
head is sure to be thrust we'll forward
but If he preserves a proper intellectual
balance he walks with his chest in ad-
vance of the rest Of his body.
1t is curious, too, how one may
really influence his own mental condi-
tioD IN this way. Just try and see how
impossible it IS to say, i0h, how happy
! ami with sunken chest and spent
breath. One involuntarily lifts his chest
and takes good long breath when he
says anything optimistic and brave, fol
if ne doesn't he might just as we'll say
Have mercy on us miserable sinners.
The effect is the same. There is no surel
cure for the blues Or like maladiei
than merely lifting the chest aud taking
good, long breath. II seares away al

ThefT Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
Ognized-LOrd BarOn's Belief.


TheiT Intimate Relation Was Early Rec
ognized-LOrd BarOn's Belief
The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized, seeing
that experience soon taught that air was
necessary for fire. The experiment of
burning a candle in a closed vessel, now
so familiar to every schoolboy, is very
old one, and the influence of a blast of
air on a furnace had been probably no.
ticed from a very remote period By
some it was affirmed to be the food of
fire, while by others the same belief was
embodied in the phrase, "Air nourishes
fire.
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance we'll known to the
chemical philosophers Of the past, could
produce intense ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each other
in composition. According to Robert
Boyle, the air contained volatile nj
ter, " while Lord Bacon held that air
contained volatile, crude and windy
spirit, - and thunder and lightning were
supposed to be due to the presence of
minute particles Of this inter diffused
through air.
The important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which is one of the chief constitu-
ents Of air and the one to which it owes
its power of supporting combustion,
also forms the largest elementary con
stituent of inter and is likewise the
source of the power possessed by that
body Of supporting combustion.
The action of heat on metals in caus-
ing them to lose their metallic luste1
had also not escaped notice, and Cardan,
philosopher who lived during the six
teenth century, i'll noticing the increase
in weight that lead undergoes when
heated in air, attributed it to the gas il
the air, which feeds flame and which
relzindles a body presenting an igniteC
point. Scottish Review.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 20, 1S96.-A tele-
gram from P%ittsburg, Pa, that
the body of a man supposed to be that
of Colonel Parry Lee Downs, of Balti-
more. has been discovered near Elizabeth.
Pa. The dispatch adds that the headless
body of a man was fished out of the
Monongahela River at Elizabeth a week
ago last Saturday. IN Sunday the head
was found buried near where the body
was .unearthed. The identity of the body
ives a mystery until yesterday, when the
police compared a photograph OF Colonel
Downs with the head of the dead man
and found a striking resemblance. The
body will be exhumed and the head fit
ted on the shoulders. A post mortem will
be made to determine the cause of death.
Colonel Downs was a attoT-
ney of Baltimore. He stood high socially
and mad been a member of the staff of
Ex-Governor Jackson. On the morning
of January 81 he WAS arrested in bed
at his home, No. 2,11S Maryland avenue,
charged with forging the name of his
mother, Mrs. Mildred c. Downs, as in
dorser of a sixty day promissory note for
z ,4Gc.
When arraigned at the Central Police
Station he waived an examination and
bail being furnished by his brother, Brent
Downs, and john T. Gardner. The Colonel
disappeared from Baltimore and the de-
t~ectives nave been fruitlessly searching
the country for him for the past seven

road. but because ne is opposed to the
creation of such crossings in any part of
the city by any railroad. He said he lar
inspected the point Of crossing, and in
view of the reports of the city's engineer
to the effect that it was impossible to
cross in any other way he felt sorry to
oppose the granting of the request.
Gustav Blau, an architect, opposed the
crossing, and mapped out a plan whereby
the grade crossing could be avoided. His
plan was punched full of holes by Reon
Barnes subsequently,. Mr.. Blau also said
the company proposed laying new tracks
in Johnston avenue. Mr.. Barnes subse-
Quently informed the Board that several
of the tracks in the avenue would be re-
moved.
John w. Heck talked on the subject
and the unquestionable development of
the surrounding territory that will follow
the completion of the line.
Reon Barnes discussed the subject at
length, and to the surprise of Messrs.
Cole n Blau produced documents show
ing that the city in 1890 agreed to allow
the railroad to cross the avenue al grade.
He said he was asking no favor, but for
the city to live up to an agreement it was
in duty bound to respect.
No action was taken on the ordinance.

LYNoHINGs THREATENED.
Brutal QuinfupIe Murder Enrages
LnufxIaRa CifiZana.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 90, 1Sse.-A de-
spatch from New Orleans says:-The
brutal quintuple murder of the John Cot
ton family four miles south of Indepen-
dence, in Tangipahoa Parish, is rapidly
leading to open riot. The citizens have
risen up in a united de,nand for the de-
livery of John Johnson, the murderer
and his alleged acconplice, Arch Joiner,
both negroes, and a determined mob is
forming from all the adjoining parishes.
Reports from Amite City say that 5000
enraged citizens are collecting and will
move on that town, that being where
Arch Joiner is imprisoned.
John Johnson, the murderer, is confined
in the parish prison, in this city, and one
of the demands of the mob is that he be
removed toAthe scene of the crime. Tele-
grams from Livingston parish say that
the mob threatens to lynch the officials
VINO spirited the murderer. Johnson,
away, and brought him to New Orleans,
If they refuse to preduce him..
A large meeting of the conservative citi-
zens was he'd in Amite City last night to
take action on the threatening conditions.
Governor Foster was wired, and State
troops were asked for. Word was re-
turned that the Hammond Light Guards
had been ordered to be prepared to move
at a moments notice. The prevailing
opinion is~that the mob now moving on
Amite will be too much for the officers,
and that Joiner, the negro confined there,
will be lynched.
