the first floor is the engine, the hose
wagon and the stalls. This floor is paved
with granolithic and opens to the front
by double doors. which allow engine and

terry that may revolutioniZe industry.
The battery which he has just complet-
ed will give, it is claimed steady cur
rent of u volts per square cell at about
80 amperes. Unlike any other primary
cell, it keeps up a constant current un-
til exhausted. Eight quart cells will
run two horsepower motor 10 hours
at an expense of 10 cents. Ten cells
will burn twelve 80 candle power
lamps ten hours. The cell differs from
any other form in that the exciting
fluid is dropped into the cell at the rate
of one drop a minute while the battery
remains in use. Its cheapness of main
tenance and great power, it is claimed,
will cause its universal adoption on
power lines. Almost every house and
business place will have its own light
ing plant and power for running sew
ing machines, fans, etc. The highest
voltage now obtained from the best
form of primary battery is nearly two
volts to a gallon cell and then only for
a few minutes. as the current rapidly

Reform In Barbers' Shops,

A timely article by a prominent doc
tor summarized the results of the
movement in several of the large cit
les and smaller municipalities in this
country and Europe that have formu-
lated and enacted a fairly practical
and effective BARRIERS act The ex-
pense of boiling scissors, clippers and
raZors after each using is little or moth
ing. The sterilization of the hands
afresh for each patron Is surely not q
grievous requirement. Brushes and
shaving brushes can be abolished alto
gether and to great advantage. That
the towels should be freshly laundered
mot ironed hastily in the back room
and brought back for a second service,
as is too often the case now seems
only matter of common decency. 1t
is not to be hoped, however, that the
older, less progressive BARRIERS will
adopt these measures of their own free
will. They must be compelled to take
the necessary steps at once and learn
the reasons at their leisure.-Pedia-

his talking of results. In the hospital,
too, the physicians say that profession
al ethics compel them to keep silence.
Lyons, whose home is at 351 First
avenue. is shaking in ward No. 10 In
Bellevue hospital with what is known
as chills and fever but which the doc
tors say Is malignant malaria. Last
Saturday, at DR.. Berkeley's request, he
barred his arm and permitted swarm
of mosquitoes which were confined in
a glass tube to eat at his expense.
The process was simple. The tube
was inverted upon the mans arm, and
soon the insects, which had been starv-
ed for "a hours, alighted and began op-
erations-that is, some of them did.
According to Mr.. Lyons, there were
others that were more considerate of
his feelings.
The blood fed insects were taken to
his laboratory by DR.. Berkeley, where
they will be closely watched. After a
few days they will be permitted to
again feed upon the blood Of a well
man. 1t is believed that they will in
trOduce into his veins malarial poison.
This will be easily counteracted, as the
symptoms will be quickly needed and

pearance of malaria.

Mr.. Smith has a serious face, and
Mr. Chase wanted him to smile. He
told the postmaster general that he
was the best model among all the pub
lie men he had painted because Of his
absolute repose, but that he lost him
self in thought.
This was an objection, and in order
to meet it the artist, who is a diplo-
matiSt, resorted to clever stratagem.
He told Mr.. Smith this story to make
him smile. 1t was a rap at Senator
Chauncey Depew by Mr.. Joseph H..
Choate when the artist was dining with
them.
Choate said that Depew's name was
now a synonym for ''talkativeness," to
prove which he recited a verse he made
up on the spot:

In love with a sweet little JeweS;
She talked night and day
In so charming a way
That he called her his Chauncey Depewess"
