The pension plan is now In the hands of a committee, and will be perfected and submitted to the board of directors at the October meeting for adoption It will involve the expenditure of $30o 000 or more each year by the company. and it's immediate effect will be to retire a hundred or more employees who have passed the allotted three score and
 ten years of life. or who by reason of sickness or accident, have become dis abled or incapacitated for active duty.

Remarkable Loss of Memory.

\ remarkable case Of 3oss of mem ory occurred in London, England, re- gently. It appears that an old gen tleman, we'll dressed and apparently we'll to do, was found by the police wandering in Moorfields. He was taken to the nearest police station, but, be- ing unable to give any satisfactory ac- count of himself, he was conveyed to Guys hospital. There it was found that he was suffering from loss of memory, and despite every device adopted nothing could be gleaned as to his identity. Upon his clothes be- ing searched an address, Spring Bank, Hull" was found upon him, and as the result of telegram dispatched by the police to that address it was aseer- tained that the old gentleman was MT. George Patchett, who lived at the ad- dress given. He had been missed from Hull for some days, but how and when he got to London neither his friends nor Mir. Patchett could say.

 ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Much Sickness Prevented by Its sub-
 stitxtion for Gas.

htIt0tt0n 1of 6aS.
 There are no stronger advocates for electric lighting in houses than medical mn. who say that an immense amount of sickness has been saved since the electric light took the place of gas in modern houses. There can be no doubt that in the matter of maintaining the purity of air during incandescence, electricity stands without rival. Air is composed of four parts of nitrogen combined with one part of oxygen. The nitrogen, in sense, modifies the too active powers of oxygen, which, if Hndiluted, would make every one in- haling it so excessively energetic that the human framework would speedily be racked to pieces. When combus- ton takes place oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide ia poisonous gas) is given off The act of breathing pro- duees a similar effect, and thus resem- bles the burning of lamp or candle. Air c1zstaining as little as 3 CT cent Of carbon dioxide is difficult to breathe in, and when 1t is considered that medium gas burner produces as much of this gas as eight or nine men (about six feet per hour) it naturally follows that air in a room so lighted soon be- comes dangerous. Besides carbon di- oxide, there are other impurities in gas, such as sulphurous acid, ammonia, sulphuretted hydrogen, etc. which vary in quantity according to the purity of the gas. Each has it's own deleterious effect on the air and surroundings. and most of them cause flame to be less luminous. With an electric incandes- cent lamp there is no combustion. The filament merely becomes incandeseent by reason of its resistance to the pas sage of the current, which is compelled to exert certain amount of energy in travelling through it. This energy is given back by the filament in the form of light, but the whole hsss;sss lss,s, s,sss :. metic- ally >ses.ea vacuo, there is no ex- aaia'la Tom the process of incan- desce. and the outside air remains snvfS "a by it.

Make an Ipterestinp Find.

Some chalk diggers have made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans eombe, Kent, England. It was that of a short. very thickset man. and it is thought he was probably . Roman. A careful search was made for coins or weapons. or anything that could give a clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton, but nothing was found except some fiints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds of years. It was in the heart of chalk hill which had never been exca- vated before.

PET ANIMALS BECOME PESTS.
Horses. Cats, Pigs. Goats and Rabbits
 All Have Become Nu sances.

All Have Become Su sances.
 Ordinary domestic animals under fa- vorable conditions often become pests. Some instances: In 1897 Nevada passed a law permitting the killing of wild horses as nuisances In Washington they are cut up to bait traps. Most of the wild horses on tue continent are descended from few loosed by Cortez in Mexico. In Australia hunters shoot wild horses, which eat grass needed by the sheep and cattle. Cats have made a home on Cat island, one of the Ker- guelens, where they are so wild that 1t is impossible to tame them. Their pro They were put ashore on Sable island, off Nova Scotia, to kill the rabbits that had become a pest. Now the rabbits are gone and the cats are worse. Pigs were put ashore on many islands, such as Bermuda, the Galapagos and is- lands along the southern coast, as food for shipwrecked sailors. In every case they have multiplied and become wild. Capt. Cook put some ashore on New Zealand, where they are now shot as game. St. Helena, a mountainous is land of small extent, 2,700 feet high. was heavily wooded at it's discovery. To-day it is rocky desert, owing to the introduction of goats by the Por- tuguese in 1513. When the goats ate off the underbrush rain washed away the soil and the big trees tumbled. Rabbits are the worst of all animal scourges in Australia and New Zea- land They are poisoned, killed for their skins, for their meat; but still they multiply. Cats alone can kill them off; but then cats become pest also. Since 1873 New Zealand has shipped more than 2o0,000,000 rabbit skins.-New York World.

A Kruger Story.

President Kruger recently refused an interview to celebrated Englishman, who thereupon sent back word that he must see him; that he was no ordi- nary person; that, in fact, he was a member of the house of lords. The servant went away and returned with the message: "The president says he cannot see you, and adds that he is 8 cattle herder.'

An Interesting Experiment.

An interesting experiment is about to be made by the government of Bos- nia and Herzegovina in connection with the subject of the migration of birds. 4 number of observatories are to ba established throughout both countries on the coasts, plains, mountains, riy- ers- lakes and at all points which seem likely to yield results of interest to those engaged ill researches on bird migration. Under the auspices of the government of both countries meet ing of ornithologists has been convened to take place at Sarajevo during the current month, and proposal will be made to other governments to insti- ute similar plans of observation, the intention being to unite them all in 6 common and uniform system.
 Family Driven Mad.
 An extraordinary case of madness, in which all members of a family, con- sisting of father mother and four chill dren, were simultaneously afflicted, has occurred at Stavelot. A party of stroll ing gypsies, who undertook to tell the fathers fortune by means of cards, declared that he would be killed while serving in the army, and this predic- s-9irep so impressed him and his family that in the course of the same day they all developed signs of Wavering reason, and before long had to be put under restraint The gypsies, who were the source,o the trouble, were arrested by the German police while crossing the frontier from Belgium.

ARMY HORSES HARD TO GET.
Purchasing Department Finds Difficulty
 In Meeting the Requirements.

Purchasing Department Finds Difficulty
 In Meeting the Requirements.
 The entire northwest is being ran ment in quest of horses suitable for the cavalry and artillery of the army The horses procured are for the most part brought to Chicago. where they are inspected, and then distributed wherever there is need of them. Among the requirements are the color of the animal, it's weight and it's height. The owner must stand the expense of hay ing the two front shoes removed, fur nish halter and have the animal weighed. Tt would require the ani- mals to be -nolded," said horse trader at the stockyards. As yet there are few horses that we have received that come up to the requirements of the or der, and an owner having horse that would answer the style that is wanted by the army demands larger price than the government offers to pay" The local horsemen state that the gov ance on the order or it will not get the requisite number from this territory. Horses are being secured that will come up to the requirements in many respects, but it is feared that they will be turned down by the government buyer the same as they were last year.
