street railways in the United States,

cellent results, too, having shown them
selves to constitute an ideal track
Whatever misgivings may have arisen al
one time as to the serious pranks which
expansion and contraction might play
with such continuous tracks have been
effectively allayed, as experience has
shown that the difficulties likely to
grow from these causes are not eXtraor-
binary. 1t is interesting. however, to
note that of the troubles from tempera-
ture variations in the track, that due
TO a temperature lower than the one at
which the rails were welded is the only
one requiring serious consideration. II
is found in the tendency of the rail to
shrink in longitudinal direction, and
this must be counteracted by pull on
the ends of the rail sufficient to produce
a corresponding amount of stretch.
Temperatures above that at which the
rails were welded cause compression,
and this has never been found to make
trouble where the track was at all Sc
cured by the roadbed.
Experience, therefore, would seem to
point 70 the winter season as the time

GOOD ENOUGH TO FOOL A FOX.
Shooters Experience with Fancy
Decoys on Albcmarle sound

Decoys on Albemarle sound.
Eldridge Darlington, a New Yorker
who went TO Albemarle sound duck
nunting few weeks ago, tells curious
story of a fox, reports the New York
sun. He had his decoys off rounded
point of land one morning, and was
waiting for it to get light enough to
shoot. The decoys We're fancy ones
made of iron and rubber, painted to
represent the birds the hunter was
after, and looked very natural.
At dawn it happened that for about
ten or fifteen minutes no birds came
within range, so no slots were fired
While the hunter was wondering at this
he heard a rustic up-wind from the
blind in the grass of the point. Look
ing cautiously over the grass, he vas
just in time to see fox crouchesi for
leap at decoy which was about four
feet distant. The fox gave a CULVER as
he gathered his muscles for the Jump.
and then sprang ahead and grabbed the
iecoy with all his might. Thereupon
the fox was the most astonished beast
that ever hunted ducks. The rubber
bag with an iron frame was hard and
soft in spots. The rubber was pierced
by the teeth of the animal. letting the
air out with pop like firecrackcr.
The iron, however, had serious effect
on the fox's jaw, breaking several teeth
and cutting the lips in way that made
the fox squeal. The fox turned three
somersaults in the water and then
hsaded for shore and got to the brush.
In spite of two shoSa.

SENSORY HGJLUCINATiO
The Seeing of Ghosts due to Defective
Eyesixht.

A recent number of the Australian
Medical Gazette contains n brief but
instructive report of the cure of case
of hallucinatory disorder. The patient,
a man aged Go years, had suffered for
two years from subjective visual sensa-
tions not a day passed that he did not
see large number of spectral human
figures, and believing himself to be
haunted by ghosts he had become very
Respondent and melancholy. On seek
ing medical advice it was found that
he had senile cataract. When this was
removed by operation the ghosts fled
and the man recovered his usual health
In this connection we may cite the case
of tradesman in Berlin whose shop
was haunted by apparitions resembling
in appearance some of his deceased Gus
toners. He was an intelligent man,
aware that he suffered from sensory
hallucination, and made notes of his
subjective impressions. In due time he
submitted his eyes to examination and
operation, with the result of restora-
ton of normal vision and the immedi-
ate and final disappearance of his in
tangible visitors. The obvious teach
ing of the foregoing and similar cases is
that in these modern days the person to
be resorted to for the eXorcism of spir-
its and demons is the opthalmic sur
geon.

ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES
business Places and Private Houses
Full of the Lively Force.

Full of the Lively Force.
An idea of the vast extent of the cleo
trical industries can be formed when
it is stated that careful investigation
reveals the fact that the capital invest
ed in various electrical arts is not less
than 81, 800, 900, 900, says the Boston
Herald. The very magnitude OF
this vast capital indicates the enor-
nous extent to which electricity
now lends it's aid to the other natural
forces previously brought under hui
man control. One can scarcely enter
an industrial establishment of any i'm
portance, a public building or a pri-
yate residence having any pretense of
comfort or luxury, without meeting
with familiar or unfamiliar electric APP
pliances. Not only are electric motors
to be seen everywhere, but the cleo
trio current is made to regulate the OPP
Grafton of steam throttle valves, clocks
and many other appliances of ma
chinery. 1t is not easy to guess where
all this will stop. No doubt electricity
will continue to invade fields wherein
mechanical construction has heretofore
been wholly relied upon and other me-
chanical movements will, in their turn,
be supplanted.

russian Criminals.

One of the most curious results Of the
Investigations made by doctors in the
Russian jails is the statement that each
group of criminals has its own peculiar
color OF the eye. a legal journal at
Odessa states that it has been found
that thieves and murderers usually pos
sess chestnut brown" eyes. Robbers
that is to say, thieves in large and
violent line of business-have sIate-col-
ored eyes, and the same is stated of Grim
inals convicted of swindling. The vag-
abond classes have eyes of azure blue
tint. The color most observed among
minor criminals and those convicted of
slight otfenses is chestnut brown
green"
