The credit of actually winning an
election is claimed for party emblem
in the little town of Benton, KY, where
a local option election was held a few
days ago. The campaigners for license
adopted a jug as their emblem. The
prohibitionists later adopted a picture
of an open Bible, with the words
Holy Bible" in big letters across the
top of the open pages, as the emblem
of the anti-license forces. Tho people
of Benton may be thirsty, but they are
piOus, and it is related that when the
open Bible and the jug Of whisky were
pictorially placed before them they
couldn't vote against the Bible, even
though they favored license. The
choice between the two touched them
in vulnerable spot and the election
went very dry.-Athens (Ga) Banner

A peculiar but profitable industry
which DR.. Benjamin Sharp of this city
discovered among the natives of Alas
ka on his recent trip to the Bering sea
is the preparation and sale of walrus
whiskers for toothpicks. Nature has
armed the walrus with a growth Of
whiskers which extend three or four
inches out from it's snout, with the ap-
parent motive Of enabling it to detect
the presence of an iceberg before actual
contact has resulted. These whiskers
are quite stiff and this quality i'm
proves with age. When a walrus is
killed the native proceed to pull out
with the aid of rude pinchers, each sep
arate whisker. After thorough dry
ing they are arranged in neat packages
and exported to China, where they are
considered a necessary appurtenance Of
the Chinese dude.-Philadelph Rec

Steam and Electricity.

Electricians and electrical experts
are very fond of declaring that the de-
cadence of steam power has already
begun. The Royal Academy of Engi-
neers in London is Of the opinion that
steam will not, at present at least, be
superseded by electricity on the ordi-
nary railroad. One objection to cleo
tricity is that it would take such an
enormous amount of power to operate
trunk lines of railway that it would be
unmanageable and insufficient. There
is as yet no known means of distribut-
ing the electric current in such way
as to make it available. The steam
locomotive carries its power with it;
the electric must tap line somewhere
in order to be effective. The proper
handling of electricity for long dis
tance power is as yet an unsolved
problem. Combinations Of electricity
and steam work admirably, and short
lines, city transportation and the quick
and expeditions tranference of people
and property in and about cities is
fully met by electric power. AS a
street car motor it is an unqualified
success, and will before long entirely
drive the horses out OF business. But
for through freight and passenger
traffic where there are long distances
to be annihilated, the steam locomo-
tive is likely to hold its own for many
years to come.

Glow-Worm Cavern.

The greatest wonder OF the antipodes
is the celebrated glow-worm cavern,
discovered in 1891, in the heart of the
Tasmanian wilderness. The cavern or
caverns there appears to be series of
such caverns in the vicinity, each sep
arate and distincD are situated near the
town of Southport, Tasmania, in a
limestone bluff, about four miles from
Ida bay. The appearance of the main
cavern is that of an underground river,
the entire floor OF the subterranean pas
sage being covered with water about a
foot and half in depth. These wonder
full Tasmanian cayerns are similar to
all caverns in their limestone forma-
tion, with the exception that their roofs
and sides literally shine with the light
emitted by the millions Of glow-worms
which inhabit them.

II you wander far enough through
the broad drives and cross the ample
fields of Fairmount park. Philadelphie,
you will presently encounter a com
modious stone building, surmountlng a
wooded knoll, set down between two
subsidiary ones of the same material,
into and out of which a small crowd
of people, mainly women and children,
are constantly passing, says the New
York Press. 1t is now known vaguely
and generally as the Dairy" and is 4
pleasant enough little place for ice
cream, tea and other light refreshments,
pleasantly dispensed by neat maiden,
in the employ of the lessees of the
house. But probably not one in 1000
of the persons who so indulge them
selves is aware of the fact that this
quiet little refectory, with its trim
gravel walk in front and its grassy
banks in the rear, sioping gently down
TO the Sehuylkill, was once the country
seat Of Benedict Arnold.
1t was conveyed to him in 1776 by
John Mcpherson, Philadelphia mer-
chant, for 1920 pounds, subject to a
mortgage of 1,76o pounds and lease
to Don Juan Mirailles, the Spanish min
lister. In this sumptuous mansion, with
its high ceilings, decorated walls, mas
sive mantelpieces and deeply carved
oaken doors and windows, Arnold
lived and entertained for more than
three years. The north room on the
first hoor, where the visitor now sips
his tea and leisurely munches his sweet
cakes, was probably, from its appear
ance, the morning-room of Arnold and
the gay party he constantly gathered
about him. In the fine wide hall, where
the guests were wont to be received
with stately courtesy, is now a row
of small tables on one side and con-
dictionary counter on the other. The
portion in front. to which queued gal
lants and powdered danes were wont
to retreat in the cool OF the evening. is
now covered with small signs, calling
attention to the ham sandwiches, ham
aud eggs and other delicacies that may
be procured by the hungry.
When Arnold was attainted OF
treason in 1850 this property was con-
fiscated by the government and was
subsequently owned, among others, by
the Hon. Edward Shippen, chief JUS
tice of Pennsylvania; Gen. Jonathan
Williams and Baron Won Steuben, in
spector-general of the army under Gen.
Washington. 1t was acquired by the
city of Philadelphia in 1868.
