1t has been found by the Philadelphia
Society for the Prevention of Tubercu-
losis that the hospitals of that city pro
vide room for only about 125 consump-
tive patients, the policy being to refuse
admission to all except this limited
number The society asserts positively
that without contagion consumption
would disappear from the list of dis
cases. and it asks for the establishment
of hospital large enough to accommo-
date all sufferers from the maiady
They point to the fact that since the idea
that cons assumption is conta gious became
prevalent in Philadelphia the mortal
ity there from the disease has decreas-
80 per cent.

The bicycle-brake problem seems to
have been solved by an invention
shown at a recent cycle show. The OBJ
jections of weight, incumbrance and
wear on tires are said to be overcome
by it, and it does not apply to the front
wheel, but behind it, on the crank axle,
where the weight and power are. 1t
consists of a steel coil that goes spirally
about the crank axle. inside the bottom
bra cket. One end of the coil is fas-
tened inside the crank hanger and the
free end is caught by light steel chain
which runs up through the lower tube,
through the head tube and the handle
bar to the grip. Inside the grip is steel
jacket, provided with groove worm,
and by slightly twisting the handle
the wheel may be checked as gradually
as desired. When brought to full stop
a 2OO-pound man can stand on the ped
ais without being able to bulge it.
Nothing of the device can be seen on
the wheel, and only it's effect is appar-
ent.

Accident insurance companies 6

Accident insurance companies are
contemplating putting an extra charge
for policies on those who are bicycle
riders, but the necessity for such ac-
ton is not apparent, in view of the
statistics on this point gathered by the
Wheel, which has examined list of
1000 claims allowed by one Of the
largest companies, and finds that the
cause was falls on pavenents in 531
cases; carriage and wagon accidents
number 243; there were lit cut with
tools and glass; in SO cases weight
of some sort fell on the person injured;
the bicycle accidents are Is. Thus ii
seems that person is sever times as
liable to hurts while walking on the
sidewalk as when riding a bicycle on
the street, more than three times as
likely to be hurt in wagon. and almost
twice as likely to be cut by glass Or
tools.

The Iowa Legislature enacted law
laying tax of per cent. on all in
heritances over 81 900 other than those
for the use of near relatives Of the tes-
tatOr Or for charitabl educa tional or
religious purposes. This is after the
example of New York, which some
years ago laid tax on legacies. There
is no serious objection to such a tax.
The objection to the income tax that it
is inquisitorial does not here apply,
because estates are prObated, and the
tax discloses nothing that would not
be known in the absence of a tax. This
tax has the merit of getting at last and
for once for purposes of taxation at
the estate of men who shirk their fair
share of the public burdens all through
life. 1t might not be a bad thing to
put heavier taxes on the estates of men
when the probate proceedings demon
strate that they have been chronic tax

have been healed of wounds, which is
said to be an important thing. Yet how

show that in his tremulous agitation
each man shot himself, but as honor

A MONSTER GLOBE.
A Fac-Simile of the Earth to b
Erected.

A Fac-Simile of the Earth to Be
Erected.
One of the most remarkable monu-
ments the world has ever seen is that
projected by Elysee Reclus, the emf
nent French geographer. His idea is
to construct a gigantic spheroid, in ex-
act imitation of the earth, as to it's rela-
tive proportions and form, to be erected
either in London, Paris or New York.
This, he says, will be an imposing and
permanent object lesson as to the topo-
graphical and geodetic features of the
planet on which we live. In dimen-
sions it will be COMMUNICATIONS
as large as the earth proper The equa-
tOrial diameter of the monumental
spheroid will be approximately 41S feet
and it's circumference 1 ,312 feet.
AS to the general construction of the
monument and the choice of it's site, M.
Reclus insists that an artistic ideal
must be kept in view, and that the en-
velope of the globe shall be visible from
a great distance. The globe is to be
mounted upon an axis, which will per-
nit of it's being revolved at will TO
guard the surface against climate and
weather there is to be an envelope for
the whole, non-revolvable, painted on
the outside to simulate the face of the
earth. The available interior of this
envelope or exterior blouse," as NJ.
Reclus calls it, that is, the space be-
tween it and the globe proper, will be
devoted to various galleries and spiral
ascents, stairways and scaffoldings to
facilitate the minute study of the geo
graphical surface. The cells of the
great spiral will be about twenty feet
apart, one above another, and will be
twenty-four in number. The floor Of
the spiral will be inclined toward the
globe, SO as to afford vantage points
for photographing from various dis
tances.
The principal dimensions are as fol-

cruelty about it, for, while they are
hungry, they are long way off from
the starvation point. If we gave them
a good dinner they would need exer-
else to digest it. They can't get exer-
else in 5x5 cage compared with roam
ing the prairies, the forests and the
jung1es.
1T is interesting to see how they
know when it is o'clock That big
lion there keeps the time for them. Ev-
cry day, fifteen minutes before meal
time, he starts pacing up and down
with his head almost touching the bars.
AS soon as the other animals see him
they are ON their feet in a second and
pacing their cages for all they are
worth. No matter what they are doing,
whether sleeping or laughing at the
baby hyena, they know the mealtime
and travel about four miles in pacing
before they eat. Their eyes are always
on the door at that side, for it is from
that direction that the butcher comes
with their meat.
I'VE always give them meat with a
bone in it. They have no table man
ners, and if they did not have to scrape
the meat from the bone they would
swallow their meal whole, and then
there would be several dead lions and
tigers in a few days. The hyeua fam
lily prefer bone to meat. They don't
leave anything around after their
meal. New York Press.
