The Bicycle Hurts the Trolley.

Managers Of suburban trolley roads
find that their receipts have fallen off
noticeably as result of the competition
of the bicycle, and the street car lines
in many of the large cities are similarly
affected. The reports of the Buffalo
Street railway show that in one month
this year 800, 900 fewer passengers were
carried than in the same month last
year. The bicycle is at once held &C
countable for the decrease. Besides
showing that the railway company is
out that number of fares the figures
would indicate that probably 800, 900
former passengers were lettering their
health and strength by riding the bicy-
Gle or walking. York Sun.

A reporter showed Marshall Mott.

from an interview as printed in a |

After reading the paragraph over

coming rapidly into use in the average
home, and what, in its first days, was
the luxury of artificial lighting is now
no novelty, in fact almost necessity,
in the modern improved house in towns
of considerable size.
The ease with which electric light
fittings lend themselves to artistic de-
sign also contributes greatly to the
popularity of this style of lighting. In
skillful hands the arrangement can be
made most decorative. 1t is almost
needless to add that in every case it
must be in keeping with the surround
ings. The style of the rooms must be
taken into consideration.
For the hall the wrought iron fittings
are very generally used, and these,
again, look we'll either in dining room
or library. The position must, of course,
depend upon the size and shape of the
room, but in the hall hanging lantern
lamp is very suitable, with a wall
bracket near the foot of the stairs, while
the dining room and library are best lit
by pendent lights, supplemented in the
one case by sconces over the sideboard,
in the other by table lamps
Oxidized silver fittings are among the
most uncommon and beautiful, and the
metal can be employed equally success
fully for either dining room or draw
ing room design.
Brass and copper. or the two COM
bined, are perhaps the more usual in
the drawing roow, where the light can
be made very effective by the use Of
standard lamps and wall brackets. For
use with French rooms there are the
lacquered metal branched centerpieces.
full of detail and most exquisite pieces
of workmanship.
Then in addition to these what may
be termed ordinary fittings there are
the exquisite bronze fittings, such as
the groups of Cupids holding branches,
in which minute lamps are arranged,
and single figures in green bronze,
which may be used as bracket light,
and many others admirable for their
beauty of design Joined to practical
utility.
In arranging the electric light there
are one or two points it is we'll to have
in mind-namely, to provide sufficient
but not wasteful illumination, to keep
the lights sufficiently high or low in
order that they may not be on a level
with the eyes and to have every light
prettily and tastefully shaded.

His Precious Wheel.

: An interesting story is told as an il
lustration of the "ruling passion" and
of course it is at the expense of the
wheelman. The walking beam Of an
excursion steamer broke, and the pas

drown. Among them was young man

came, he made dive for the life pre-

Services of the West to Education.
The susceptibility of Americans to
new ideas is a notable element in the
prosperity Of the country. The people
are willing to try anything that is new.
This is specially true of the west, where
the enterprising inhabitants are always
seeking short outs to wealth and to
knowledge. This adventurous spirit Of
ten leads to superfciality, but it has
also been very fruitful of new methods
of school education. The kindergarten
idea was taken up and developed in the
west. There manual training was first
tried on large scale with satisfactory
results. And it was teachers in the west
who first brought about the introduce
tion of Literature in the lower grades
as the best means of interesting unde-
veloped minds. In fact, they demon
strated the truth that it is better for
the child to feed upon ideas, upon
thought, upon real stories, and the lives
of real people, and the stimulating SEN
timents of all the ages, than upon the
inane sentences and jejune and success
full effort to be childish of the reading
books. Dudley Warner in Har-
per's Magazine.

Reflection of Sound.

In some of the large cities of Europe
the principle of the reflection of sound
is very ingeniously employed in locat-
ing the position of inaccessible obstruc-
tions in the pipes of the pneumatic tube
service. Thus, when pipe is construct
ed diaphragm that is 50 thin as to
vibrate instantly under the force of a
sound wave is attached to the end of
the pipe and connected electrically
with chronograph in such manner
that when the diaphragm vibrates it
will close the electric circuit and regis
ter on the chronograph. A pistol loaded
with a blank cartridge is then fired into
the tube through an opening just below
where the diaphragm is placed. When,
therefore, the shot is fired, the sound
wave causes the diaphragm to vibrate
and registers the exact time ON the
chronograph. The sound wave will
travel along the tube until it meets the
obstruction and will then be reflected
back. On this reflected sound or echo
returning to the end of the tube it
causes the diaphragm to vibrate again
and make another registration ON the
chronograph, which by this simple op-
GRAFTON will correctly Indicate the exact
interval of time required for the sound
to travel from the end of the tube and
back.
