PREVENTS PURSE sNATcHiNa.
William Erik. OF Pennsylvania, has
obtained a patent on the pocketbook

attachment illustrated below, which
serves to prevent the purse from being
easily snatched from the hand. The
device can be attached to any purse
in moment. and Is not the slightest
inconvenience to a lady when carrying
her pocketbook in her hand. When
not in use the guard folds inside the
flap, out Of sight. The invention con-
sists of a flat piece of metal or twist
ed wire, which is fixed in place by
rivet passing through hole pierced
through the side Of the purse. This
serves to hold the guard In such po-
sition that 1t will project just beyond
the edge Of the flap when in use, al
lowing one finger to be inserted in the
syelet at the end. The guard is al
most Invisible while in use. and Is s,ae
to accomplish its purpose.

ANOTHER HUDSON BRIDGE.

Secretary Root has signed an official
document approving the plans for the
new 100000 900 double-deck Hudson
river bridge. This great public i'm
provement, which has been long need
ed in the effort to rehabilitate the COM
merce Of the commerce Of the port of
New York, will preclude any further
delay.
The structure will run from West
New York across the Hudson. II will
have six tracks for steam railroads on
the main level and four trolley tracks,
roadway and pedestrian and cycle
paths on the upper deck, constituting
the most complete bridge structure
ever planned. This bridge Is a combi-
nation Of the suspension and cantilever
principles.
The cost Of construction is estimated
at more than 100000 per mile. This,
of course. does not include the orna-
mentation Of the boulevard and the
carriage approaches and stairways for
pedestrians and bicyclists, all OF which

When the pure gum is heated to
about $50 degrees Fahrenheit it becomes
very soft and plastic. SO that it can
be rolled or pressed into shapes that 1t
retains when cold. Advantage is ta-
ken OF this in making cables, for the
heated gum is forced through q cylin-
der surrounding the core and as the
core is drawn through die-piece q
thin layer of gutta percha is left on it.
This is repeated as often as is required
and the core is thus covered with a
series of gutta percha jackets that ex-
tend without break or seam from end

point, the cable Is done. In this con-
dition 1t would be exposed to many
nishaps that might injure the envel-
ope and destroy the working Of the
cable, so a sheathing is put around it.

The majority Of people are more
frightened by thunder than lightning.
If we study the philosophy Of light
ming it is simple matter to under
stand that thunder Is only the report
of the bolt. This report Is produced
quite similar to that of q gun. When
a charge is fred from a gun 1t pro-
{duces what might be termed a tempo
rary vacuum and when the air rushes
in to fill it the report Is heard. II a
man should be shot through a vital
part in such a way as to produce In
slant death he would not hear the re-
port. Neither will one who is struck
by lightning see the fash or hear the
report. therefore orr who sees the
flash need have no fear from the bolt.
1t would require about one eighth of
a second for the rays of light from
/ the flash to be conveyed to and sensed
/ by the brain and before than time the
light of life would be snaffed out.
+ Further study of the subject reveals
the fact that electricity passes SO rap
idly through the air that the friction
causes the air to be heated To a white
heat. This enables us to see the track

One inventors FanthSys
"a distinguished scientist has seri-
ously suggested the sinking of boilers
deep enough to use the heat OF the.
earth as fuel" said prominent en-
gineer Of this city. THAT sounds
rather fantastic. in view of the fact
that depth Of 10000 feet would be
necessary to boil water. but a scheme
of the same sort was urged with great
energy back in the SOS by Wash
ington inventor named Forian. II my
memory is correct. Forian was man.
of considerable means and mathe-
matician of ability. The internal heat
of the earth is supposed to equal about
one degree to the 100 feet of penetra-
ton. but he claimed to have discover
ed that the percentage was very much
greater and increased in compound ra-'
ito after certain depth was reached.
He figured out an elaborate table and
proposed to sink huge shaft with
accumulators at the bottom from
which unlimited steam would be
supplied to the surface. All that was
needed was few million dollars capi-i
tai to pay for the digging and the
plant, and he Immediately set to work
to raise the amount.
TT is a striking commentary upon
the short memory Of the reading pub
lie that this singular enterprise,
which attracted so much attention at
the time and was the subject of almost
unlimited newspaper notoriety, should
now be practically forgotten. Forian
succeeded in interesting a number OF
people of wealth and formed a Joint
stock company, but meanwhile his
calculations were assailed by scien-
fists and it was shown pretty clearly
that the figures were incorrect He
replied with great bitterness, and the
consequences was that the scheme
went to pieces in the shock Of contro-
versy. What became OF Forian ! don't
know. II the problem Is ever actually
solved, / suppose he will be tished out
Of the limbo of cranks and Missionaries
to take his proper place in history.

Where Land Is Most Valuable.

The growth Of the land values is
one Of the most wonderful phenomena
of the age. Every inch Of land be-
tween King Williams statue and
Trinity square, London, cost ESQ los,
or at the rate OF s191 ,000, 200 per acre
beyond all doubt the highest price
ever paid in England for land. The
Southeastern Railway company has
asked at the rate Of $65, 100000 per
acre for q piece Of ground in BeFs
mondsey, which had d depth OF SIX
teen feet only The demand was SO
exorbitant that even a railway COM
pany had to pause, finally declining
to purchase. In the year 1880 land in
square foot, and six years later the
Cannon street was sold for $50 a
price Of land in this identical street
went up to $75 a square foot.-1'he

Lightninr,s Deadly Bolt.

Lightning's Deadly holt.
When we come to make calculations
on the prospect Of our being killed by
lightning we soon discover that the
chances are in about the same proper
ton as they are to the average citizen
suddenly becoming an heir to a mil
ion dollars.
Statistics show that in the United
States. the average number killed by
lightning is 312 every year, If we have
100000 people in our country our
chance would then be about one in
100000.
The greatest percentage of fatalities
is among farmers. This is in all
probably due to the fact that they are
more often in open fields away from
taller objects which would naturally
attract the bolt.
During storm it will be well to be
within reasonable distance-say sew
enty-fiye to 100 feet--of some taller
object that would serve as conductor
for the immense charge of electricity
1t is decidedly dangerous to stand be-
meath tree for shelter.
1t seems that trees are relatively
the best conductors for lightning in
the following order: FRS, beeches,
pines. larches. ash and birch.

The events Of the past two years
have been given an increased interest
in the remoter parts of the globe that
has never been SO widespread among
our people as now. The Philippines,
the Transvaal and China have ceased
to be mere geographical facts, but
have become real places Of which we
know something and from which We
demand news with as slight delay as
possible. The Geographic cables
therefore today hold an important
place In minds that previously had
given them but little consideration.
It is strange how few people know
anything Of the oceanic telegraphic
service, says writer in the Washing
ton Star. A vague idea that it is car
ried on by cables is about all that
the ordinary person possesses but
what cable is. how it is operated or
what difficulties lie in the way Of its
construction, are all unknown to the
bulk OF we'll Uniformed people. The ac-
counts Of them are generally SO incum-
bered with technicalties as to be al
most unintelligible to unpro OCCASIONAL
readers, and, in consequence, they are
wrapped in more mystery than are
many things that enter into everyday
life. Most people think that there is
mo more difference between submarine
and land telegraphy than there is be-
tween an overhead and an under
ground trolley line, but this is not
true. They are absolutely distinct,
and have little more in common than,
have a great railway system and a
horse car line, il SO much. Both tele-
graphic systems use electric currents
to transmit signals over a Conducting
wire, as both the railway and the
horse car line use vehicles that move
on a track. but all else is different.
In order to understand why route
for cable is always sought with much
care the structure Of the cable itself
should be known, for on Its safety de-
ponds the success OF the enterprise. "a
cable consists Of core OF wire that
is really the important part OF the
whole, and covering Of some insulat-
ing and protecting material. The core
is made of strands Of copper woven in
to a rope-like cord, and weighs from
70 to 400 pounds per mile-for the
shore ends that have to stand the surf
are much stronger and heavier than
the deep sea portions. The stranded
form is much more flexible than the
solid rod. and is not so apt to be bro
ken in laying. The core is coated with
a mixture Of resin.. tar and gutta per-
cha, known as Chatterlon's COM
pound, Z that is to act as a cement and
hold the insulation firmly to the wires.
Il The insulating material must COM
ply with many quirements. It must
not conduct electricity and must pre-
vent leakage as much as possible; 1t
must be thoroughly waterproof, for the
sea water will soon corrode the copper
III it reaches it. and will steal the cur
rent if there be the smallest hole
through which it may reach the wires.
1t must resist the chemical action OF
the water on itself. and it must be
flexible and tough, so that the cable
