Electrical Equipment of Long Trunk
I1ncs

Lines.
DIR. Duncan, who has paid much at
tention to the subject of the application
of electricity as a motive power on ex-
isting steam lines, says it is q mistake
to suppose that electric traction is till
m an experimental stage. Almost ev-
cry question connected with the SUBJ
ject has been already settled, and the
esult have, in every case, been favor
able to electricity, so far as 1t has been
tried. The experimental intramural
road gave results so far beyond the
most sanguine expectations. that with
in a few months one of the longest ele-
waited systems in Chicago was similarly
equipped. The latest striking success
in electric traction has been achieved
in the operation of the special locOmo-
tives made for hauling trains through
the Baltimore tunnel. The locomotive
proved SO powerful hat no known
method of testing is sufficient in its
scope to determine their efficiency. DR.
Duncan believes these locomotives will
pull any train that will hold itself to-
gether. The only obstacle existing to-
day in the equipment of long trunk
lines economically is the transmission
of power. The fact that power gener
ated at Niagara Falls is now being de
livered in New York, $50 miles off
with a loss of only half it's efficiency. j.

Making Sailing Ships Go Faster.

HI Shhps W. NhstVE.
The statement of an Italian sea cap
tain that he had proved by experience
that a ship goes faster when her sail
are perforated with a number of holes
than when they are quite sound, was
at first looked upon as too ridiculous
for consideration. Unbelievers, how
ever, now find that the Italian has
gone a long way toward proving his
case. His theory is that the force Of
the wind can not fairly take effect on
an inflated sail. because of the cush-
ior of immOyable air that fills up the
hollow. To prevent this cushion col
Letting he bored Il number of holes in
the sail, which let part of the wind
blow right through it and allowed the
remainder to strike against the can
vas and exercise its full effect. Sew
eral trials have been made, and 1t
looks as if this is another of those
paradoXical truths which appear so
impossible on the surface. The expert
merits were made in all weatherS. In
Il light wind a boat with ordinary sails
made four knots, while with the per
fOrated sails she covered five and q
quarter knots: in a fresh breeze SHE
did seven knots with ordinary sails,
and eight and three-quarters knot
with the improved sails; in a strong
wind she did eight knots and ten
knots respectively. If this augmented
speed were sustained throughout a
long voyage ii would increase the
value of the ship one-tifth, as she
would make the same trip in foul
weeks that she did before in five
weeks.

blindness Due to Accident.

Statistics show that Pennsylvania
has more citizens whose sight has been
destroyed, or who have had their eyes
rendered useless. than any other state.
The large number or iron and steel
plants and other manufactures and
mines within its limits is responsible
for this. The fact that Pittsburg is
the center of the iron and steel trade,
and in the most important GOA mining
district in the country, furnishes the
explanation for the fact. as stated by
the Chronicle of that city, that there
are more people in Pittsburg wearing
glass eyes than are to be found in any
other city in the country. Those who
are in a position to know estimate that
there are about 2.4O0 such unfortunates
in Allegheny county, or about l to
every 80 persons.-Buffalo Express.

Choosing Graduation Fiuery

A winsome personality is that of the
young graduate. Her attire, ideally
simple, is suited to her girlhood and to
the demands of the occasion. The
wearing of all white is as much a mat
ter of sentiment as of fashion. Often,
however, the necessity for a touch of
color, usually in some delicate shade,
is imposed by the wearer's complex
ional characteristics.
The material may be silk, wool or
cotton, according to taste, there being
an embarrassment of riches in fab
RIGS adaptable for this purpose. Fig
ured white China crepes, gauzes,
among which mousseline de Sole and
chiffon reign, have not only beautiful
lustrous surfaces, but in texture are
soft, flexible and comfortable to pres
ent modes. Among the woolens are
plain and figured mohairs. satin-striped
canvas, finely figured etamine, crepoh
and fayetta. Silkwarp crepon is much
admired, and so is a new linen-and-silb
mixed dotted gazine, a fabric not easily
distinguished from silk. Silk is also

embroidery. some simple gimp, and, of
course, flowers, are the decorations
most generally employed.
The hosiery is white Isle thread or
silk embroidered or in openwork. The
slippers OF oxford ties are of white
glace kid. White Suede gloves are in
order-mousquetaires when the sleeves
are short and buttoned when they ex.
tend to the wrist. The couture gen.

RutnbaGus for Fodder.

II Is gratifying to see so many American

not desired as roots. the foliage Is used for
green food, Just imagine the results of

pound per acre. into the cornfield, just be-
fore the last cultivation. This will give you
two good crops-one of corn. and the other
of rots from the same land. One advantage
of the rutahaga is that it can be sown at
any time of the summer for green food,
while a sowing the later part of July is
the best in northern states for big. sweet,
juicy rots for winter storage and use.

An Unfailing Method of Criminal
Identification

The BertillOn system Of identified
ton is being introduced into the pris-
ons of New York State. The 5000
convicts now in the ten penal institu-
tons Of the state are being subjected
to the various measurements, and here
after it will be practically impossible
for any man to be r~earrested without
his identity being known. The meas
urements include, among other points,
the length of the ear, the distance
from the wrist to the elbow, the length
of the thumb and other parts of the
body. Twelve measurements Will be
taken of each man. While more could
be taken without difficulty, a less num-
Der would, in most instances, be
enough for identification. From OBJ
servation of the differences in the
measurement of individuals in a large
number of cases, authorities on the
subject have computed that the chance
that two men will present the same
figures in twelve measurements is l to
1000. OOO, 900. Under the new system,
with all the records kept in one office,
there can be no failure to detect any
old offender whenever he comes in for
another term. Every. card bearing a
mans record will be kept in a separate
compartment and if there comes a du-
plicate in the figures it will be known
at once that the individual has been in
before and his former prison record
will be investigated. The result will
be that many old offenders will serve
double terms.

Ideas of Beauty.

How would. our European types of
beauty be received in other zones?
White travellers have tdetl Ia red that in
the heart of the tropical forest, the
negro's shining ebon skin is consider
ed csthetically lovely, while the white
skin of the European suggests only
sickness and disease. 1t is clear that
the question of what constitutes beau
ty would be anwered differently by
every race. TO, quote the apt saying
of an old Greek philosopher, Man is
the measure in all things Every
race has its own Apollo and AphrOdite.
The traveller Hcarne, who is well ac-
. uuainted with the North American
Indians, says that in the eyes of these
Indians the ideal of beauty must
possess "a broad fiat face, small eyes,
high cheek bones, low forehead. Il
large. broad chin, a knobby, hooked
nose,-a golden-brown skim In North
ern China only the native Manchoo
types are admired-a broad face. high
cheek bones, very broad nose and
enormous ears. One of these queued
Asiatics who had Travelled to Ceylon,
upon seeing the prominent nose of the
foreign ambassador wrote that he had
the beak of a bird and the body of Il
man. Among the natives of Cochin
China a woman, to be, charming, must
have IA perfectly round head and face.
Among these colored races Il white
skin is regarded as ugly. White wo-
men receive little favor and attention
from them, Chinese in the interior
OF the kingdom consider all Europeans
| ugly because of their white skin and
prominent noses. The Siamese. with
their small noses, widely separated
nostrils. large mouths, rather thick
lips, big faces, and high, broad cheek
bones, simply can not conceive of
European beauty. Their own women.
