Ready-NIade Medicine.

A quack who has made his fortune
by selling influenza honey, Is one OF the
characters in a recent French work of
fiction. How he produced 1t was as
follows: The bees were kept in a large
conservatory, or. at any rate, under
glass, so that they could only pasture
on the flowers provided for them, and
of course these We're chosen for their
medicinal properties. Hence ready
made physic Of the most delicious kind
was garnered This was laughed at as
an extravagant invention; but it was
not quite SO absurd as some Of the crit
les imagined. Beekeepers intent on
producing a luxury are annually more
and more inclined to experiment on
similar lines. The difficulty really lies
in educating the palate Of the average
consumer. to whom honey is merely
honey. a breakfast table relish, varying
IN quality hardly more than salt.

Ing than attends ordinary steam rail
road journeying. Furthermore, this
means a big saving ia fuel, as 1t re-
quires only half as much coal to make
forty five miles by electricity as would
be necessary If steam were employed.
The new appliance which will revolu-
tionize railroading has been expert
mented with for three years. 1t was
begun on the Nantasket Beach Road.
which was selected because 1t was not
believed that electricity was practical
bic on any road Of any great length,
owing to the waste of the current In
transmission, which would necessitate
power houses every few miles But af-
ter many experiments the New York,
New Haven and Hartford electricians
discovered that by a heavy rail, that
looks like a capital "A" tiattened down,
and laid on blocks Of wood, the electri-
cal current could be transmitted with
out any appreciable loss Of power. and
at one fifth the cost Of a trolley line. 1t
was this discovery that caused the
New Haven Road to spend so much
money on the third rail system from
Berlin to Hartford.
The third rails are laid between the
running rails, and are banded together
and connected by copper wires. They
are not fastened to the ties, but are
laid on blocks of wood. The running
rails are used to carry back the return
current The trolley block consists Of
a fiat cast iron shoe, 12x4 inches. and
weighing twenty pounds. This shoe Is
run along in the fat top of the third
rail, just as trolley pole follows an
overhead wire. Inside of this iron shoe
q copper wire carries the power to the
motor, which is In the truck of the car.
The current used is Of 600 volts. 100

tem and, although the third rail, which
carries the current, Is exposed. a shock
cannot be gotten from 1t without touch
ing the third rail and on of the running
rails at the same time. Even then II
would not be fatal. The company has
fenced in all the stations and posted
danger notices along the tracks to warn
pedestrians and workmen.

EXECUTION BY AsPHyx,AT,om
Iliumina ting Gas a. . Means OF Die
posing Of Crimiaals.


There Ii some talk in France Of abol-
ishing the guillOtine and Of substitut-
ing for 1t some other mode Of capital
punishment. At first it was thought
that the verdict would be given In ia
vor Of death by electrOcution, but
French scientists do not seem to favor
this method. claiming that as a de-
structive agent Illuminating gas Is far
more swift, sure and painless than elec-
tricity, and for other reasons also is
more desirable. Indeed, the opinion of
French scientists seems to be that the
easiest way to get rid of condemned
criminals Is to asphyxiate them by
means of Illuminating gas. NJ. Berthe
lot, than whom no one in France Is bet
ter qualified to speak on the subject. Is
strongly in favor of this mode Of cApi-
tai punishment.
There Is no scientific objection to
the use of Illuminating gas for this pur-
pose," he says. Here In Paris dogs
are regularly asphyxiated by means cf
gas. The animals are placed In a box.
which is connected with u gas pipe,
and they are stified very soon after sLe
gas is turned on. AS for criminals who
might be asphy xiated In this fashion,
1t is probable that they would suffer at
least for some seconds; death wOuli
not be instantaneous. There would be
contra ctiOns, spasms, and, In cOnse-
quence, a mOmentary struggle against
asphyxia, the result Of which would. OF
course, be a certain amount Of suffer
ing. AS for Illuminating gas, II COM
talns a slight proportion of oxide of
carbon, and this latter element pro-
duces asphyxia almost Immediately.
Therefore by means of such gas we
could obtain results that would be ao-
solutely mathematical, and our con-
demned criminals could be put ont of
the world after a very brief struggle
against death"
That there would be strong opposi
ton to any change in the French law
regarding executions is certain.
Among the bitterest opponents would
be the small storekeepers and others
who reside near the Place de Ia Ro-
Quette, and who earn goOdly sum an
nually by renting their windows 10 per
sons anxious to see executions More
over, the guillOtine Is, in sense one Of
the national Institutions In FraLce. and
there are thousands Of patriotic
Frenchmen who cannot be persuaded
that 1t Is not the best death-deaiing
instrument In the world.
