TEST or NEW MOTOR.
satisfactory Trip of New York Car
Equipped with Air Power.

The officials of the Third Avenue Rail
way company took car No. IS of the
American Air Power company and ran
it from the power station at Fort Lee
ferry to One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street to the Boulevard, thence tot
Forty-second street, across to Sixth ave-
nue.. returning by the same route to the
COMPRISING station at the ferry. The car
left at HOP p. m. and returned at 1928,
having consumed an hour and twenty
three minutes in the working trip OF
ten miles, including all delays.
The car performed a perfect service,
readily climbed the Boulevard grades.
the heaviest of which is between five
and six per cent, and extends from One
Hundred and Twenty-ffth street to
One Hundred and Fifteenth street.
The entire trip was made with one
change of air, with large reserve at
the conclusion. This is one of the two
cars that have performed service of
10000 miles ON One Hundred and Tween
tv-fifth street since last August with
out delay or accident.

brute had broken away from his master,
who was leading him with chain.
As Mr.. Cabanne realized what was
about to happen he leaned over in the
approved football fashion and prepared
for the onslaught. lie grabbed the ter
rier around the throat with both hands.
Mr.. Cabanne's hands are strong.
With them he has often grasped foot
ball.
He squeezed the terriers throat un-
til his tongue protruded. The dog
gasped for breath and Mr.. Cabanne
squeezed all the harder.
He collared that dog and held him up
in the air, kicking. Then Mr.. Cabsnne
performed a remarkable feat.
Dropping the dog suddenly, as he
would drop a football, he at the same
time raised his right foot, caught the
brute on his toe and sent him sailing
into the air. As he turned over and
over the bull terrier gazed at him, and
the growls that came from his interior
could be heard block away.
The blood-red eyes plainly said:
you wait till l get down" The dog
fell to the ground before Mr.. Cabanne
had a chance to run.
Landing on all four feet" said Mr..
Cabanne, "he lit into me again with
vengeance. This time I was better
prepared for the savage beast. AS he
came at me let him have my heel good
and plenty. 1t was a red-hot soak and
the terrier caved like an embankment.
Talk about a knockout. 1t was
nothing to this knockout. That ter
rier never knew what hit him the sec
ond time gave him my foot. He
rolled over like a sure-enough dead
one, and when his owner came up and
surveyed the brute stretched out on all
fours he rem6rked: .rf d.. x

zlng about mis- cows. Closer inspection
revealed that they were oil busy catch
ing flies. One white COW drew more
wasps than any of the others, because
the moment fly alighted it was seen
at once against the skin. When a wasp
catches a fly it Immediately bites off
both wings, sometimes leg or two and
occasionally the head. Mr.. harrington
saw some of the wasps when laden with
one fly catch another, without letting
the first go, and then fly away with
both. There was a constant stream of

New York, is preserved evidence of
similar case. Mrs. Elizabeth Sharpe, q
woman of IS, was walking in London
street with her brother, Thomas James
Ditcombe, of No. 1 China walk, Lam
beth, some weeks ago, when she sud
denly clasped her hands to her left side,
and, shrieking: Heavens, my hearth"
fell prone to the sidewalk. DR.. Reginald
Hayes, who examined the woman, found
a tumor between the ribs, and on cut
ting into it he discovered large needle,
which he extracted. The autopsy dis
closed that the needle, which had evil
IDENTIFY been in the body for long
time, had worked its way through the
blood vessels until it had reached the
heart, when, by puncturing that vital
organ, il had ended the woman's life.
In the museum at Bellevue hospital
can be seen the preserved heart of u
woman who died there under similarly
remarkable circumstances.
The doctors had been completely baf-
fled by the case, and the result of the
autopsy was awaited with the keenest
interest. An examination disclosed the
strange fact that the woman had swal-
lowed her false teeth, together with
the silver plate to which they were at
tached. The teeth had gone from the
esophagus into the pericardium, and,
breaking directly into the heart, had
imbedded themselves in that organ,
producing what the physicians term
"pericarditis," of which the patient
died. The heart preserved in the mu-
scum shows the silver plate with the
teeth attached. half buried in the organ.

10 A seeming anomaly is found in the
fact that In the United States eth
plate" rs the farorite roofing, the use
OF sheet zinc for roofing being almost
unknown, and yet in England, the home
of the tinplate industry, and in all parts
of Europe! zinc is now the most favored
material. A roof of good tin, properly
laid and painted thoroughly at least
once in every three years, viii last from
20 to 30 years. The life of slate roof
may be from 80 to so years, while the
life of zinc roof may be estimated
from the fact that the first zinc roof
ever put up; 1911 till exists to-day in
good condition.

Rains That Do Not Reach Earth

In the Colorado desert they have rain
storms during which not a single drop
of water touches the earth. The rain
can be seen falling from the clouds
high above the desert, but when the
water reaches the stratum of hot, dry
air beneath the clouds it is entirely alb
sorbed before falling half the distance
to the ground. 1t is a singular sight
to witness a heavy downpour of rain
not drop of which touches the ground.
These strange transforms occur in re-
gions where the shade temperature
often ranges as high as 1913 degrees
Fahrenheit.

lights are turned up again the answers
TO questions addressed to the spirit may
be read, usually in badly-written char
Gcters. Well, in spite of appearances,
il is possible for the medium to hold
the slate and to write with his left hand.
1t is only necessary that he should have
upon his index finger a small thimble-
like arrangement. The pressure of
spring shoots out miniature slate pen
Gil. The slate is held by the other fin
gers, and the index finger writes from
right to left, the reverse of the usual
process, beginning with the last letter
of the last word. \ few hours practice
will enable one TO do this successfully.
Luminous apparitions and will o the
wisps flying in space around the heads
of the audience form another part of
the programme at most Spiritualistic
seances. They are very easy of produc-
ton. 1t is necessary that the medium
| should have his arms at liberty. He
asks the company TO join hands so as to
form q magnetic circle around him.
He explains that such magic circle is
| sine qua non OF the appearances Whlch
he is about to evoke. In reality he &C.
sires it because it is just as well to re-
strain the hands of the audience from
physical contact with the will o the
wisps and mysterious lights. AS soon
as the lights are turned down the oper-
ator plunges his hand into his waist
coat and draws out phosphorized
glove, which he secretly places upon
his right hand. The glove is phosphor-
lied only on one side, so that the OPP
orator has but to turn his hand and pre-
sent either the palm or the back in or
der to provide light or darkness. In
the obscurity of darkened room it is
impossible for the audience to deter
mine at what distance from the eyes
the luminous appearance is produced.
Sometimes it seems close, sometimes

National Educational Association Meeting
For the meeting of National Educa-
tional association at Buffalo in 1896 the
excellent service given by the Union
Pacific was commented ON by all those
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July 9th to
9th, and others from points west of the
Missouri river should by all means
take the Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very best.
The equipment consists of handsome
day coaches, chair ars, Pullman buffet
and drawing room sleepers. dining
cars and buffet smoking and library
cars. Fewer changes than via any
other line. One fare plus $3.50 for the
round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

They ache and tremble and throb,

Man of the Kootenai.

The most complete and artistic map
of the rich mining region of the Koo-
tenai and adjacent territory in Wash
ington aud British Columbia, has lust
been published by the Northern Pacific
railway. 1t is just what is needed BY
those going to that country or who de-
sire to study and know about it.
The map is made in relief, is 25x18
inches in size between borders and has
in connection with ton the same
page-two smaller maps that show the
relation of the region to the world at
at large.
The principal drainage of the coun-
try is laid down in blue, the trails and
roads are shown, the railways plainly
indicated, the names Of important
towns printed in large black letters.
and the topography is represented in
brown. As far as the ore deposits are
known they are indicated in general
way by red lettering.
The country shown upon the map
includes particularly, the SLOGAN, Koo-
tenai lake, Cariboo creek, Deer Park,
Nelson, Salmon river, Trail or Rossland
and the Boundary creek regions. Il
shows the Arrow lakes and the Lar
deau country and some portions of the
OkanOgan region.

II has been almost entirely given over
ta the foreign element, even in the
wholesale trade. Laws more or less
stringent have been passed in various
places. You may tell me the laws
passed are useless and non reflective.
I ask why, IL that be true, does the
liquor element fight them 80 and pour
out its millions to influence elections?
Why, If prohibiting laws do not curtail
the traffic, did the president of the
Ohio liquor league feel called upon to
say to his associates sthere was not
one of you who was not member Of
our legislative committee, who can
realize the fearful struggle we had to
keep the liquor business on its present
level. have been through the mill
and predict that unless the liquor
men, who have millions invested, come
closer togethe F, became thoroughly or
ganized, lay aside petty differences and
work as unit, some legislation will be
railroaded through that will wipe IS
per cent of the dealers out of business. -
And the president of the Illinois liquor
league found it necessary to say to his
co-workers just before the recent elec-
tion: "We must be prepared to fur
nish 100000 to the campaign fund
and more than that, be able to control
thousands of votes in the coming cleo
tion if we expect to continue in bust
ness" And many similar statements
could be given, cleaned from their own
publications, which would seem to
prove restrictive laws do restrict.
Truly there has been achange in
public opinion in these matters. What
has wrought it?
