From Harper's Bazaar.
Dr. Woods believes hydrophobia to be a
mimetic disease, caused by expectant dread.
In Italy peasants used to fear dire conse-
quences from the bite of the tarantula, and
fell. when bitten, to dancing with "delirious
grotesQuerie." Now, when they have ceased
to think much of the tarantula. they are
bitten again and again with impunity.
AS for Pasteur's method of cure and its
general effects, grave doubts are expressed.
And certainly 1t Is a curious thing to dis
cover that since 1t has been widely dis
cussed hydrophobia has increased. The
year after Pasteur practiced his preventive,
for instance. the deaths from hydrcphobia
in Paris leaped at once from four to twen-
ty-four. Fifteen hundred persons were re-
ported cured by this scientist. In this num-
Der were included. In 1893. LOO French
men-more persons. In other words, than
have died of 1t In century In the United
States.
Hydrophobia, disease contracted from
the rabies of animals, does. however. exist.
That 1t is rare has been proved. But the
most efficacious remedy for 1t when 1t does
appear may be found In frequent vapor
baths-seven will do the work-the perspi-
ration excited carrying of the poison In the

WHEELED TO ATLANTA.
Three c. Bf. &. Men Make n Journey
of Over 700 Miles.

Messrs. Arthur S. Mattingly. Joseph E
Leaning and Claude j. Allen, representing
the Capital Bicycle Club. have reached
Savannah after making their wheel trip
of 732 miles from this city to Atlanta by
way of Chattanooga. In a chatty and
interesting letter to a friend in this city,
! written in Savannah August Ia, Mr.. Mat
tingiy writes as follows:
I've came through from Washington to
Atlanta, 1872 miles, without any trouble
except few punctures. The roads as a
whole in dry weather would be very good,
but We did rot always have IL dry, and
consequently had some trouble getting
! through Tennessee, where the roads are
composed OF red clay of the proper con-
sistency for bricks. We passed through
the celebrated melon district of the south,
and the amount of the fruit consumed by
the party would be hard to compute. Every
time orH of us acquired thirst OF any i'm
portance a halt would be called at the
first crossroads store or convenient patch
and asuificient quantity of watermelon
imbibed to last to the next place.
Our road followed the mountains all the
Way, and consequently we did not suffer al
all from the heat; IL anything, it was a
little cold on some of the nights. The cot
ton fields are now in full bloom, and as
none Of us are experts on cotton in its
natural state, we were at first somewhat
at loss to properly place the same, and
of course had some diffidence about ques-
tioning the natives as to what II might be.
Georgia is now having quite boom in
the immigration lire, parties coming i'm
from the west in large numbers and set
ting in various parts Of the state. They
say the climate here is way ahead OF any
thing they have home, not being subject 20
the gentle breeZes from the north or any
of those minor attentions which take up a
mans property, bag and baggage, and set
1t down in the next county.
We just managed to get out of Rome in
time to escape a free vaccination. They
are having a little SMALLPOX near there at
present, and every Che has to submit to the
loss Of his cuticle with trimmings
THE finest roads We found were those
built by Uncle Sam around Chattanooga,
leading to all the old battlefields within
the shadow of Lookout mountain, from
whose summit they say seven states can be
seen. but 1t was not a good day for sevens
when / was there. There Is one road Of
about forty miles around the National
Park which forms kind of a loop, and il
is as smooth as billiard table. The boys
make single and double centuries on it
without trouble. We took the railroad from
Atlanta to this place and will go from here
to New York by boat, and from there will
wheel home.''

WHITNEY's BIG GAME.

Deer, Elk and Buffalo for His New
Preserves ON October Mountain,
From the New York Herald
The arrival at Lenox this week of two
car loads of big western game for the
Whitney preserves, located on October
mountain. on the highway between Pitts
field and Beckett. and about eight miles
from the former city, calls attention to the
work the former Secretary of the Navy is
doing toward establishing what will prob
ably be the finest game preserves in the
country.
Mr. Whitney's estate comprises about ten
thousand acres. being the consolidation OF
abandoned farms which the former Sec
retary was able to secure at an average OF
ahout 81 an acre. and which he has been
Tour years In bringing under his ownership
when MIR. Whitney got firm hold on the
land he began his improvements One of
the farm houses which came with the prop.
erty was made over into a temporary dwell.
Ing, but this was abandoned in favor of a
handsome cottage which he erected la ter
Some of the other houses were reconstruct
ed to meet the needs of gamekeepers and
then the work of dividing the land into sen
arate preserves was begun. One thousand
acres were wired off for the thirty head OF
elk which Mr.. Whitney had ordered from
Adams Brothers, large ranch owners and
animal collectors, of Wyoming and the
place was all ready for the hardy Rocky
mountain elk when they arrived last fall
1t was expected that there would be diff
Guilty In keeping them through the winter
but no trouble was experienced.
Mr.. Whitney sent orders for specimens OF
the animals of the Yellowstone Park region
and after great deal of time and trouble
his agents were able to ship the two car
loads which arrived this week. In the LOT
were twenty blacktail deer twenty elk and
thirteen head of buffalo, the largest of the
latter weighing 2.60O pounds, and being the
finest specimen in the country. The ami
NAL which is named Mckinley" was one
of pair of large fellows, the other being
named Harrison" but the pair got into a
fight while being loaded and Harrison
was killed
The animals were ten days on the trip,
and came through without accident bar
ring the one at the start, but there came
near being another when the beasts were
being unloaded preparatory to being taken
to their new home. Mckinley objected
to being taken from the car, and poked his
head through the end of the box car in
which he travelled, but was finally forced
into the crate prepared for him, and Is now
with the others in the Enclosure Of 5000
acres which Mr.. Whitney has had wired
off for their use.
Mr.. Whitney has also stocked his place
with many imported birds. has added to
the quail already on the ground, and has
supplemented the trout in the brooks by
the addition of many more, so that even
now the preserves are pretty well stocked.
but nowhere near what they will be when
his plans are completed.

stopping and Starting Electric Cars.

stopping and Starting Electric Cars.
1t takes just as much electric power to
start car as it would animal power. and
1t requires less current to keep the car NOV
Ing than to start it. SO that a great number
OF starts and stops means a large con-
sumption Of energy. In the American
Electrician there appears an article in
which the actual figures for these two
cases are given. 1t is shown that the cost
OF one stop on each trip of a car during
a year on a fifteen-car line may amount to
SO or to $467 for a one hundred-car road:
so that II these figures are multiplied by
two stops at each crossing on a road op-
Grating long lines the large cost is evident
Careful handling of the controller will
save over $1,000 year on a ffteen-car
road, and 1900 per year on a one hundred
car road. The difference between a careful
motorman, who has been well Instructed
and careless one may amount to from
to per cent of the total energy con-
sumed- 1t is perfectly safe, according to
this authority. to say that 10 per cent OF
the energy can be saved by more careful
handling of the controller, while on most
roads at least Is per cent could be saved
without doubt. The maxim of every mo-
torman should be: Use the brake as little
as possible and drift as much as possible"
The employment OF skilled motormen ca
pable of understanding the mechanism
they handle would result I'm q saving to
the trolley companies. even though a higher
salary were paid the men. and at the same
time add much comfort to the passengers.

strong when she was sunk at Fayal. is
now mounted at the navy yard at this
city. After lying in the water there for
many years it was gotten out and mounted
ON the castle of Santa Cruz at FayaI In
September. 1891. Col. Reid requested Pres
ident Harrison to instruct the United
States minister to Portugal to make a de.
manG to transfer the gun to this country.
The King of Portugal consented, and the
gun was brought here. 1t was exhibited
at the worlds fair in Chicago, together
with the sword Of the. commander OF the
General Armstrong. and upon the conclu-
sion OF the exposition was brought to
Washington and placed In its present DO
sition In the navy yard. In 1851 Col. Reid

sword Col Reid was the author of many
books. and at the time OF his death was
engaged In rewriting the manuscript Of
the life and times of Aaron Burr, the
original OF which WAS destroyed in 1850 by
fire.
