The greatest force known to science
Is that produced by the contraction
md expansion of metals, resulting
from the action of heat and cold.
1t is stated that the right hand,
which is more sensitive to the touch
shan the left, is less sensitive than the
latter to the effect of heat and cold.

In recent lecture Professor
Bergman, of Berlin, stated that in fifty
cases of perforating the skull for
epilepsy he knew of only one perma-
nent cure.
1t has been calculated by Robert
Ball that the whole coal supply of our
planet would barely suffice to produce
heat equal to that which tho sun dis.
sipates in one-tenth of second.
At the beginning of recent thunder
shower after warm and MINDLESS day
M. Maurice Despres, of Cordova, Spain,
noticed electrified drops that cracked
family on touching the ground and
emitted sparks. The phenomenon
lasted several seconds, ceasing as the
mir became moistened.
The first use of the phonograph in
telegraphy seems to have been in Spain,
where receiving operators were unable
to take down rapidly enough messages
received by telephone, and repeated
into photograph. This repetition,
being heard at the sending end, serves
also as control for the correctness of
the message.
A new laboratory turbine, claiming
great steadiness, noiselessness and
economy Of water, has been designed
by German chemist, and is to be
made in Berlin by Koehler and Mar
TIM. A circular piece of wire gauze,
rotating in thin cylindrical space, is
attached to the axle. The water jet
strikes the edge of the gauze at a
tangent, escaping by pipe in the
center opposite the axle, and may
readily be made to give speed of
1000 revolutions per minute.
Professor Eschenhagen, of Potsdam,
has continued his researches ON the
small variations of, the earth's magnet
ism first announced by him last year.
The most important oscillations have
q period of about thirty seconds and
occur chiefly between a. m. and p.
M, but on two days since last October
November 7, 1896, and February 4,
1897-shorter waves, lasting twelve or
fifteen seconds, were observed. Groups
of waves have been noticed ON several
occasions. The cause of the phenom-
enon is uncertain, but it is believed
to be atmospheric.

Last February the Receivers of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company
decided to adopt the double conductor
system for all excursion trains in or
der to reduce to minimum the chances
of an accident. One conductor under
this plan is given entire charge of the
running of the train while the other
attends to the tickets and the comfort
OF the passengers. The experiment
proved successful during the travel to
and from the Inauguration of President
Mckinley, but during the past two or
three months it has been thoroughly
demonstrated that its adoption was
very wise From September 4th to No

The Theater Francais at Paris has
a peculiar device to insure the great
est possible safety for the audience.
Not only can the scene be separated
from the audience by n Theoretically
closing steel curtain, but the roof of
the scene can be uncovered at mo-
ment's notice, so that draught OF air
is produced, which carries away the
smoke and noxious gases produced in
the fire. These, it is said, constitute
the grestest danger to the audience,
often rendering escape quite impossi-
BILE. 1t is on the scene that the fire

Andrew Cameron, deep sea diver,
formerly employed by the English
Government, was q passenger on the
steamer Yucatan which arrived in
New York from Havana and Vera
Cruz.
Cameron was sent to Vera Cruz
several months ago by Pearson & Co.,
an English firm of dock builders who
had a contract to build n bulkhead in
Vera Cruz harbor. While making a
submarine examination he had an ad-
venture eighty feet below the surface
of the water with ten-foot man. eating

"and went to work Immediately. Be-
fore making my first descent 1 asked
some Mexican fishermen if there were
any sharks in the harbor and was told
there were few small ones, but that
they were not man-eaters. No one
had ever heard of any deep sea sharks
coming into the harbor.

900; business office, ink, rent, light,
etc, $219, 900. This paper has very
expensive staff of editorial writers,

Fruit Juice Shoe Polish.

Orange juice is one of the best dress
lngs for black shoes or boots, Take a
slice or quarter Of an orange and rub
it on the shoe or boot; then, when dry,
brush with soft brush until the shoe
shines like looking glass. This is
IN English recipe. Another fruit
dressing is for tan shoes, the inside Of
banana skin. Rub khe skin all over
the shoe, thoroughly, wipe off care
fully with II soft cloth briskly. Patent
leather shoes should lot be polished
with blacking. These are the hardest
kind of shoes to keep looking well, and
require constant care. They may be
cleaned with a damp sponge and i'm
mediately dried with soft cloth, with
occasionally little vaseline or sweet
oil. They must never be donned in
cold weather without heating, or they
will crack as soon as exposed to the
cold air.

A Trains Race With a waterspout.

Tuesday afternoon there was race
run between passenger train on the
Inter-oceanic and waterspout. The
race was declared draw, as the train
escaped from the immediate effects OF
the waterspout, which burst against
the crest of mountain, but the inn
mense volume of water poured down
the mountain side, along the roadbed,
and finally caught up with the train

o'clo OK the sky became suddenly GOV.
cred with masses of black clouds. An

coach, who had the best view of the
phenomenon, went down on their
knees in prayers for deliverance.

gers as the stakes. Up grade, down
grade, around sharp curves, across
bridges and over the levels flew that
passenger train, with the waterspout
just behind and gaining just little.
The train entered a canyon, turned
curve, and at the same moment the
chasing culebra came to grief high up
the mountain side. Thewater poured
down the slope in raging torrents,
and as the train emerged from the
other side of the gorge q vast sheet of
water, bearing trees, rocks and all
kinds of debris on it's bosom, threat
ened to engulf it. Wider the engineer
threw the throttle, endeavoring to es.
cape this new danger, and all would
have been safe, but another sharp
curve intervened and the engine
jumped the track. The engineer saw
the danger and reversed the lever and
applied the brakes. The engine
rolled down the embankment, but the
rest of the train, including the tender,
remained on the track.
The next moment the mass of water
struck the now stationary train and
flooded it to the level of the platforms.
The passengers and crew were help
less to do more than look out to seq
what had become of the engineer and
fireman, supposipg them killed. But
they both scrambled, or rather swan,
out of the window of the overturned
cab and clambered back on the train.
This happened in the vicinity of
San Antonio CGpulalpam, State of
Tlaxcala. A relief train was dispatched
to point as near as it could get, and
the passengers and crew of the ship
wrecked train were transported in
hand cars and brought on to Mexico,
arriving here only four and one-half
hours late, and with an experience
which none of them will ever live long
enough to forget, and which, had it
not been for the presence OF mind of a
nervy engineer, none of them would,
in all probability, have lived to re-
