he was approached by a newspaper cor

The correspondent replied that he had

The senator's face lighted up. My young
friend, do you want this interview right

The correspondent returned in an hour

Car Heating Experiments.

The most important electric heating
experiments yet made. however, are
those of traction companies in heating
street cars. Many tests were. made
last winter in different cities, with
quite widely divergent results. Under
the extreme weather conditions Of Bos-
ton cars were heated at a cost OF 40
cents per day of 1s hours. In Albany
the Consolidated Car Company figured
that it cost 21s cents an hour to heat
car, 1000 watts being used.
j. f. McElroy, in recent technical
address before the Street Railway AS
sociation, stated that electric heating
of cars cost 1856 cents per car day Of
fifteen hours, as against 1876 cents for
coal, including in the latter case the
cost of caring for the stoves.
Prof. Dolbear says: '"The convenience
of electrical, heaters in a house, their
cleanliness and the simplicity of their
regulation, commend themselves to
housekeepers."

"VAN" AND "VON'
The Real Significance Of the Dutch and
German Prefixes Explained.

It is a common mistake. OF those who
speak only English to suppose that the
prefix wan" before a Dutch name Sig
nifies nobility. In the ''low countries"
that is, in the kingdoms of the Meth
erlands and of Belgium-"van" has no
particular meaning. Names with van"
are to be read on shops as we'll as on
the doors of the most aristocratic man
sions. The humblest persons have
them as we'll as the most exalted, and
a great number of the very oldest FAM
lilies are without it.
But in Germany won" implies no
bility, and all persons who belong to
the nobility prefix won" to their fam
lily names without any exception. Per-
sons who do not belong to the nobility
cannot have the right to put won" be-
fore their names A man who IL
knighted for some reason, however, has
the same right to put won" before his
family name as person of ancient no.
bility. For instance, when Alexander
Humboldt was knighted he became AL
exander Won Humboldt. All his de-
scendants, male and female. take the
