striking Examples of Ignorance and Con-
 tempt for Hygienic Science.
 Could a more striking example be exhibited of the ignorance and con- tempt by hygienic science than is shown by the condition of the tunnels of the metropolitan railways of Lon don? Probably in no other city in the world would the characteristics of the atmosphere of the tunnel between, say. Praed street and Kings Cross, be tol- erated for one single week; great part of the existence of this filthy attribute of the subterranean railway system of London may be charged to the imper- fections of the steam locomotive. says the Engineering Magazine This in dictmant could be heightened but enough has been stated to prove that, although we cannot fail to gratefully recognize the influence that George Ste- phenson's invention has exersed in am- eltorating the conditions of the life of the industrious masses, it still in it's high state of development possesses fundamental defects of a very serious nature. The benefcent science of electricity graciously offers us a means for traetiYe and propulsion work, to move our trainloads of passengers or of merchandise, by which. in addition to the removal of all the serious disad- Vantages to a great degree tnseparably associated with steam locomotive trac- tion and already enumerated, We ob- tain qualifications that have made the sometimes trksome necessity of travel. ing real pleasure, If not liberal edu- cation.

maintained a strict silence except to
say that he had agreed with the girl
they should die together. He would
not admit that there was struggle be-
tween them when he shot her.
