ton Mr. Manson said he was pleased
with the manner in which The Spy had
handled the street railway question.
1t was announced that tomorrow
large force of additional workmen will be
added to the present force and that from
now until the limit-Jan. !, 1902 work on
the construction would be hurried. Work
men in a construction car started from
Hopedale tonight stringing the final set
of wires over the main line of the Graf
ton and Upton Railroad. By Monday the
wire stringing gang will be at work on
the Upton loop. The new men will start
in at the Brook Street end of the loop,
and their work will be toward Upton
Centre passing through Brook Street, to
meet the old gang. The workmen to-
night have the work done from Jourdan's
crossing, on the FaTnumsVille road, to
Fiske's drug store in Central Square,
Upton. Beyond that point the ties are
spread, rails scattered and everything
ready for the hampers to the Milford
Street corner of the loop terminus.
The new force of men insures the con-
struction of the line within the time limit,
provided there are no changes in the
weather conditions.

solved itself into one of the prettiest eX-

the only survivors Of the British bark
Angola. who were landed at Singapore
by Chinese junk which picked them up
on the island Of Soubi. in the South Ma
tuna group. The Angola sailed from Ca
vite. I. L., Oct. II. and was wrecked
on a reef 800 miles from Manila week
later. and as the boats were smashed
the crew had To take to RATS made of
the wreckage. OF the smaller of these
RATS nothing further is known. The
two survivors and nine others were on
the larger one. The unfortunate marin
ers were for forty.two days exposed to
every torture of the shipwrecked. n
FrSnchman was the first of the poor
wretches to go mad. and he killed the
first mate. drank his blood and ate him.
The other men then killed the French
man and ate hi: flesh. The wrctched
survivors died off one by one. and were
cast out TO the sharks. Eventually the
two named above were left. and they

kind, so that there should be no ad-
vantage IN this respect on either side.
AS result, it was found that the
guinea pigs that lived in an electric
environment gained in weight during
a measured time 10 per cent more than
those in the nonelectric cage.
DR.. Herdman is confident that ordi.
nary pigs, If subjected to similar treat
ment. would exhibit like results. He
proposes TO build suitably wired pens
and to furnish TIE growing swine with
regular supplies of electricity, much in
the same way as was done with tie
guinea pigs.
Nobody can say what may be the fnal
influence of this new discovery uJon

a special price in the market. The

NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY.
Guinea Pigs Are Fattened by the Em'
ployrn snt of tn. Fluid.

DIOy ut sut Us s"-
This is the age of electricity, SO that
one is not surprised to hear that an
electric diet has been discovered.
Naturally, you would conclude that
IL is designed to aid Invalids of weak
digestion, but 1t Is something of shock
to learn that the latest scientific dis
coyery has no nobler object than the
fattening of pigs!
Certainly, there Is an element Of
novelty In the notion Of eating electrici'
ty fattened pork. Besides, from pigs
we may yet rise to higher things.
Anyway, DR.. W. j. Herdman has
found out that the galyanlc current pro-
notes the growth of tlssue-that is to
say, the increase Of flesh. 1t had pre-
vlously been ascertained that plants de-
velop more rapidly under the electric
stimulus and there was no obvious rea-
son why animals should not be equally
responsive To It. Hence the idea of
Or. Herdman, which promises well,
though It's application cannot as yet be
said to have passed beyond the expert
mental stage.
The doctor began his experiments
with guinea pigs, half n dozen of which
he put in each of two cages, taking care
that they should all be Of exactly the
same age, SO as to make the conditions
OF the trial as free from flaw as pos
slble. Around one of the cages he
strung several wires, through whsll
current of electricity was passing
night and day, while nothing Of the
kind was done with the other. Mean
while, for stated period, the animals
in both cages were fed with precisely
equal quantity Of pgovender OF the same
