has made $50. 900 In five years for its

no possible danger OF the point sticking

nca FALSE FRONT GONE.
Horrifying Experience While viewing ~
Electric Plant.

Until a few days ago there was n
standing rule in a large electric es-
adjustment that all visitors should be
shown around h place. The rule has
row been modified as the result OF a
calamity which befell a lady visitor.
The duty OF entertaining visitors had
been turned over TO the engineer In
charge. a young nan who too great
delight in exhibiting the machinery.
The other day two stylishly dressed
women entered the place and request
"a permission to view the apparatus.
The engineer. as usual. acted as cicer-
one. Among other things Of interest
in the place Is a huge belt passing some
eight feet above the floor. which gen
crates SO much OF what is called stat
&c electricity that the effect on one
who stands beneath IL is literally hair
raising. This Is a favorite. experiment
about the dynamo room and the sur
prise OF strangers always raises a good
natured laugh. With the fact in mind,
the young engineer requested n Of
the ladies TO step to a spot which he
indicated under the swiftly moving
belt. She i%nnocently did SO. but at the
next instant clapped both hands to her
forehead and uttered a loud shrek.
The luxurious curls that had adorned
her brow had disappeared into space,
and. as a matter of fact. were adher-
ing tightly to the surface of the belt
and making exactly 40 revolutions a
minute. Cold sweat broke out on the
engineers forhead as he realized that
the fair visitors hair was not all her
own growth. He was about to STAN
mer out what excuse he could when
the victim froze him with a look as she
Kissed:
You are a brute. sra low brute!'
Then she swept out OF the place. fol
lowed by her friend. The latter, on
reaching the door. glanced back and
smiled at the terror-stricken engineer
evidently enjoying her companion:
