Curious Little Animal Found in an

creature is one OF the most curious known
TO naturalists.
The interior Of Australia contains a
wild, weird desert. which. though not 50
well known as tho Sahara and Death Val
ley, Is just as desolate. Under the soil
of this wilderness there dwells this queer
animal. the first specimen OF which was
obtained few years ago by an exploring
party, who wrapped II in a rag saturated
with kerosene and brought Il TO the at
tention OF biologists.
When this new and strange mole-liIoe
mammal was investigated II was found
to be a marsupial a pouched animal like
the kangaroo. but nature. in her wisdom
had 30 arranged the pouch that its oneT-

WHERE TEETH DECAY.
Work in Storage BATTERY Pits Has
Strange Effect.


haps excite the curiosity Of the medical
and dental professions we're II generally
known is the fact that the teeth OF the
men who handle the storage batteries OF
the Thirty-fourth Street cross-town cars
rot from the effects Of tine acid fumes
which arise from the batteries as they are
charged, while apparently no other i'll ef-
fects are felt
Twelve men work in the two pits at the
power house in West Foity-second Street,
in which the storage batteries are taken
from the cars. recharged and restored TO
the cars. The pits are situated between
the tracks near the door at each end OF
the building through which the cars enter
and depart Each pit has two openings
Just large enough to permit batteries TO
be lowered from and raised to the cars
through them.
AS the cars arc stopped over the open
ings, which are exactly the shape Of the
batteries, the rectangular boxes. their
power having been consumed. are released
from the fastenings which clutch them to
the underbody of the car. They fall
through the opening into framework OF
grooves which is a part OF crane. trav-
cling on a railway in the pit. and are
guided down TO the floor Of the crane.
This powerful machine also carries
freshly charged battery. and when the
powerless one has been lowered the fresh
one is hoisted into place in the same man
ner. an automatic clutch holding il in
place under the car
The batteries are charged for one. two.
or three trips. When the number OF trips
made by each car in the course Of day
is considered IT is apparent that the bat
teries are recharged many times, even in
twelve hours. Sulphuric acid in water
forms the liquid proportions OF these bat
teries. and when they are charged with
an electric current they exhale clouds OF
yapor or fumes which are strongly i'm
pregnated with sulphUric acid II is these
fumes, the men say. which cause their
teeth TO decay rapidly, even In such
short space of time as three months. Save
for causing a soreness Of the skin, the
fumes apparently do them no other harm
and have no effect on their lungs, though
they cannot help but inhale the acid
charged fumes.
Several blowers bring in fresh air from
the outside. but the fumes are not entirely
disDelled. On some days when the wind
blows from such quarter as to force the
fumes Back, rather than draw them out,
the men are Obliged TO work with cloths
over their noses. Yet all the workers in
the pit seem satisfied. and say they do
not mind the fumes after they have be-
come accustomed TO them. Even the men
who work over the pits on the outside
show decaying teeth. and say that in that
respect it is just as bad 10 work over the
Dit as IL is inside t.-N Y. Tribune.

ORANGE BLOSSOMS IN D1sFAvoR
English brides Garry other Flowers
10 t,e HymencaI Altar.

Orange blossoms would appear TO be
declining in favor with English brides.
Formerly the flower was deemed an es-
sential part Of the bridal toilet. and none
but widows went TO the altar without
wearing it. Even when bride was mar
ried in her travelling cdstume she pinned
srrig of orange BLOSSOM in the bodice
OF her gown
Judging by the fashionable weddings Of
the past few months. however, new
order of things has been introduced. One
distinguished bride went to the altar with
wreath of myrtle. another with white
heather and myrtle, another with white
clematis. and yet another with lily of the
valley
The reason given for putting aside
orange blossoms is that as natural flow
ers were usually worn. the heavy per-
fume caused flintness to many ladies. As
the artificial flowers so nearly resemble
the genuine article. this can scarcely be
said to account for the slump in the
nuptial blossom. Love Of change and
eommendable wish to bring a touch of
originality into wedding attire, which is
apt to become stereotyped is probably at
the root of the new fashion. Chicago
