A Titled Husband.

No doubt 1t is a delightful thing, If your
father has made some millions, to dignity
your obscure family by wedding foreign
er with a swell title. 1t is wise, however,
to make inquiries into his character before
actually going to church with him. From
Paris there come two comic tales about
such union. The bride was showing q
friend of hers the other day over her gor-
geously furnished hotel, and in the drawing
room drew her attention to the magnifi-
cent chandelier. Piqued by her lack Of
enthusiasm, the bride remarked, swell,
you don't seem to say much about my
$4,000 chandeIierp'' "Four thousand
pounds9' said the friend, with polite
sneer "Isn't that piling it up rather highP
That very chandelier was offered to me fur
2,3O0." That afternoon the bride drove
to the shop from which the chandelier
came and began an indignant speech about
the wickedness of charging her $4,000 for
a chandelier offered to some one else for a
little more than half. The dealer inter
rupted her: MADAME, you are mistaken.

One Of the most curious Of the many
remarkable forms of marine life is a
species of mollusk called the razorshell,
which can excavate holes in solid rocks.
This creature has no English name. Its
Latin name is pholas. It is found in
widely separated regions of the earth,
but is most plentiful on the Mediterra-
mean coast, where limestone abounds.
1t is frequently met with on the coast
of Italy, where whole limestone beaches
are honeycombed with their holes 1t is
still disputed point among naturalists
as to how this boring is effected. Some
think that the mollusk secretes some
acid which softens the limestone, but
others think that the holes are bored by
the simple mechanical process Of grind
ing. The preponderance Of opinion ap-
pears to lie with the latter view at pres
ent, yet it is said that no one has yet
been able to catch the pholas at work.

ELECTRIC RAILWAY DEVELOPNENT.

The development Of the electric railway indus
try during the last four or five years has been
nothing short Of one Of the most extraordinary
evidences Of human activity that the history Of
the world can point to- from the inventive
manufacturing and commercial points Of view.
Capital has been thrown into It with A most law
ish hand, and inventive genius has been enc0ur-
aged. until to-day the electric railway itself Is
completed and perfect system.
It Is not much more than ten years ago that
Charles J. Van Depoele. and Frank j. Sprague
brought out their electric railway systems and
the early struggles OF these two men when they
put their theories into practice by equlppins
electric roads in Dayton. Ohio. and Richmond
Va, are still green in the memory OF electricians
the world over. Since that time the trolley has
passed over this country like an invading force
and passenger transportation, which up To that
time had been solely dependent in cities upon the
horse and the mule. has become as IL We're
idealized. and for the first time city travel seemed
to have taken on an air Of comfort.
City after city has abandoned the primitive
methods of horsecar haulage. and has substi-
tuted the electric road and there Is hardly VII
lage in the United States which has not IT'S little
railway station and it's electric cars
Development Of this great industry has react
cd upon the towns, developing them almost in
direct proportion to the extension Of the railway
systems.
The electric car for the first time gave the
worklngman and the professional man means
Of getting swiftly from his place Of work OF
business in the city to the more salubrious out.
skirts. and they were not slow TO avail them
selves Of the advantages thus offered. The
trolley has given to these two classes Of men
especially an outlet from the close confinement
of city life and the line Of the trolley Is marked
not only by two steel rails. but also by the nu-
merous homes which have sprung UP along its
route.
The progress Of the electric railway IN this a1-
vancing age will not submit to any limitation
either in city or suburban traffic. once the SUBJ
urbs were taken care of. the question Of joining
nearby towns by light electric railways arose.
The settlement Of this question was very speedy.
The interurban road came imediately into ex-
istance. and that joining the cities Of Mnne.
apolis and ST. Paul was one Of the very earliest.
This line practically paralleled the steam road,
and since its Inauguration the latter has 50
verely felt the competition that its pass niger
train service along that line has been practically
abandoned The success of that interurban
road was naturally followed by the installation
in other parts of the country Of roads similar in
character and apparatus. but constructed for a
much higher speed of the cars than where the
roads were within city limits. These interur-
han roads are now everywhere in contemplation,
and in Connecticut have given rise to sharp
and bitter warfare with the steam roads which
they parallel
The advantages which the interurban electric

INCANDESCENT LAMPS.

Livery ohservant person must have noticed
how rapidly In late years arc lamps have been
introduced for interior lighting. well for
municipal and other street Examinations. but
net everybody is aware Of the immense amount
Of ingenuity labor and money invested in the
arc light business which has been expended TO
bring about this result. The popular idea Of
arc lamp has long been assoc lated with hiss
ing. spluttering. generally unreliable and always
ugly-looking affair. which was first introduced
In the electric lighting field. but. owing to its
characteristic. strictly confined to outdoor
lighting. When the tiny incandescent lamp.
with which the name Of Edison has been in
separately associated was first invented. 1t was
Ing where electric lighting was done. The
superior economy and brilliant lighting quail
ties of the are light were recognized from the
start. but great difficulty was experienced in
making an are lamp which would burn i'm con-
junction with the incandescent lamps and on
the same circuits with them without Interfering
with their satisfactory operation in any way
but inventive genius hard work and the outiv
of considerable money gradually brought about
the condition of affairs which exists to-day
namely, that the most satisfactory, economical
and reliable interior illumination is now ac-
COmplished with the SPECIALIZED incandescent are

exercised as We'll and The incandcscent are light
has become thing Of beauty, az We'll as OF
utility, and the unsighIiv fixture Of the earlier
