As near as could be ascertalned Il
appears that a man giving his name az
Charles Orell was walking On the dock
when he fell through on opening IN the
planking where a new slip is being
put In. He was considerably under the
influence OF liquor at the time, but the
chill Of the water partially sobered
him. As he came to the surface he
found another man evidently clinging

Great Field for Inventors.

Automobilism and the increasing necessity for some form of traction for goods and passengers better suited to cities than that furnished by horses has given another impetus to the search for a storage battery that com pines lightness with high output and enough mechanical and electrical strength to insure long life. Nothing is more urgently needed, and at pres ent nothing seems further from attain ment. There is no doubt that an elec- tric storage battery affords the ideal motor force for an automobile, as it does for street car, but those already devised weigh at least ,00O pounds, and the carriage that can carry such a weight is necessarily large and cum brous, which interferes with its adop- ton. Here is chance for inventors to make colossal fortune by giving the public what it wants.

NEW JOB FOR GIRLS.
Down in Chili's Metropolis Women
 Collect Car Fares.
vaIparaiso Tram Cars Ruled by COn- ductresses of Complacent Dis- position When Not Too
 Busy They Read Novels.

The most startling feature of life in the Gillian metropolis, Valparaiso, that strikes the foreigner is the street car service. The conductors on the cars are all women, and that in a country where woman has by no means reached the high standing in social and public life of her sisters in the United States.
 The girls who run the cars are, with few exceptions, very pretty, and there seems to be little objection to their novel occupation. The male pas- sengers, of course, are pleased, and the few who are not too polite and gallant give vent to their senti- ments. The female passengers are proud of the fact that this impor- tant occupation is in the hands of women.
 The fact is that valparaiso's fe- male conductors are exceedingly courteous and obliging. They are usually strong and robust set, and they sympathize especially with wo1n- en passengers accompanied by chil- dren, whom they help board and alight from the cars.
 The fair conductresses deserve ev- cry cent of their wages, which amounts to about 50 cents per day in United States money. For this they collect all fares and name the streets crossed by the tramway. Nor do they mouth their phrases as do their brothers in New York and Chi cago.
 On some of the lines leading into the suburbs the conductresses have an easy time.
 Seats are provided for them in all the cars, and it is not an unusual thing during the dull hours to see them taking it easy, reading novels or the daily papers. They are neatly

The First Truss ErIdEe,

It is impossible to say when the first bridge was built, so shrouded in antiquity is the date. But the first metal truss bridge, the erection of which marks the beginning of mod ern methods of construction, was put up no longer ago than 1s40. Almost all of the great bridges f the world have been built within the last quar- ter of a century. In 1863 bridge was thrown across the Ohio river with a span of 32o feet, then unprecedented
 At the present time the limit of a single span has been extended to TITO feet in actual construction, while others of nearly 5000 feet have been designed by able builders and un- doubtedly will be erected

 The bane of their existence are the men inspectors who are detailed to count the passengers to see that they do not ''kncck down" fares. They have nicknamed these men ''Judases,"
 A Yankee has little trouble to make himself at home, writes a Chi- cago Chronicle cores pondent. Land- ing at the wharves one is surprised to find nearly every business man speaks English, and one soon finds that the English and Germans mo- nopolize the business. The signs are European, and there are few Chilian names upon them. Most of the book stores keep only English books. There are scores of Englishmen on the streets, and one sees many pretty English and German girls shopping g in the stores. The improvements are more like those of one of our cities than those of South American Il town. The stores have plate glass windows, and the goods are as we'll us pld GU dS III NC" ] oIh UT SlllCdRo. The streets are paved with Belgian blocks, and there are drays, cabs and carriages moving along them.
 Here and there one sees vegeta- ble peddler or a baker with his stock in panniers on the sides of mule, but the most of the trading and freighting is done with carts.
 Valparaiso has cable connection with Europe and the United States. It has telegraphic lines which keep it in touch with all parts of Chili. and it's long-distance telephones reach Santiago and other points. The tele- graph here is as cheap, if not cheap CT, than in any other country.
 South America is fast passing out of the hands of the Spanish-American natives. l mean as far as the valu- able properties and business of all kinds are concerned. From the coast of lower California to Valparaiso there has been of recent years a great German commercial invasion. which has been crowding out the English who had come before. The strongest foreign element in Central America to-day is the German. The Germans own the best of the coffee l plantations of Guatemala.
