To Make Rooms Fireproof.

A new device for making rooms alb
solutely fireproof comes from Holland.
It is applied to each o separately
and involves no general reconstruction
OF the house. II consists of a series OF
freproof plates. to be laid on the walls,
floor, and ceiling in place OF plaster.
The material used Is said to resemble
nougat in appearance. BY this simple
process any fire Is strictly confined to
the room in which 1t originates; there
car be no spreading, A severe test
has been applied. In a room properly
sheathed with these plates tarred wood
was heaped OF the floor and fred. In
spite OF the fierceness OF the combus-
ton, which filled the whole room with
cracking flames, there was no effect
beyond the protected walls.

what the new motive power is to be

any one stepping from the innocuous
outside rails to the electrically charged
third rail Immediately completed a cir
cult and received the full force OF the
current. Injury always resulted, and
very often death. This was an In
s%uperable objection to the system, and
since then safety has been one Of the
results striven for. The system the
Long Island railroad Is trying consists
which Is set In a hollow wooden beam
running along the ties parallel and
eQuidistant from the rails. On top OF
this copper cable Is another smaller
cable about the size Of a telegraph
wire, lying loose. As a train passes
along a powerful magnet on the bottom
OF the cars lifts this smaller wire.
which thereupon becomes electrically
charged for the length of the cars, but,
1t is asserted, is at the same time dead

system claim to hold u~nassailable pat

Jr., of the Long Island railroad. in
speaking of the tests. said: These
tests have been made on our road for

prove economical, effective n safe.
II the owners Of this system are ready
to make a business proposition for Its
use, we would consider favorably the
application Of that system for expert
mental use, with a view to It's adop-
ton. We would experiment with any
third-rail system that appealed to our
judgment"

When q Leopard Invades q Town In
India--A Bath Disturbed.
Amrita Bazaar Patrika: About 4 a.
m. to-day a Gurkha soldier, who was
bathing in a tank on the outskirts of
the city Of Gorakphur, was suddenly
attacked from behind. Thinking his
assailant was a pig, he (gosh Ike lalach
Sc, as a Hindustani official loftily put
it, grappled with it and both rolled
over into the tank, where they had a
bit of rough and tumble. The assail-
n turned OF to be a large leopard.
He left the Gurkha something to re-
member him by in the shape OF a num-
Der OF claw marks, and then proceeded
to invade the city, attacking and
wounding a number of persons on the
way. He finally took up his position
In a Kumbar house, situated In the
heart of n of the, bazaars, quite close
to the principal octroi post, the Collar.
Intimation Of his presence was at nee
sent to Mr.. Innes, the ID. S. p, and to
Mr.. w. Calnao, the collector. The
news also crept around the station and
a regular posse of other sahibs assem-
bled. Mr.. Calnan and Mr.. Innes got
on the root OF the house where the ami
NAL was, and, by pulling of the tiles
and poking the animal with a long
pole, succeeded in shooting him. He
turned out to be a fine male leopard, In
most sleek condition, and measuring
seven feet three inches. During his
brief career in the city he had injured
no less than eleven persons. some of
them very severely indeed. The lives
of two men are despaired of; one Of
them had, among other wounds, his ell
bow crushed from a bite. Two men
had their eyes d%islocated. A few wo-
men were badly scratched all over the
body. The good folk OF Gorakphur
were all keenly interested In the oc-
currence. Hundreds Of them visited
