Danger of Overhead Electric Wires.

Mr.. Quin the borough electrical engineer Of
Blackpoo, England, has perfected an invention
by which all dangers from overhead electric
wires are obviatcd. When wire breaks, the
current is switched of by switch which is
automatically released, and the wire thus rem
dcred harmless, In the experiments which were
carried out to prove the efficiency Of the inr"n'
tiCn, three telephone wires were severed and fell
upon AN overhead electric wire. Instantly the
automatic switch operated, and the inventor
picked up one end of the broken wire. In this
connection may mention that only a few days
ago the commissioner of highways OF Brooklyn,
y, V, refused to give his permission 10 new
trolley line aior erecting poles in the streets OF
the city claiming that overhead trolley wires
are not only dangerous TO life, but also to prop
erty in hampcring the hremen in their work.

GREATNESS MEANS WORK.
No man ever leaped into excellence
at single bound. All who ever
! achieved real greatness were self
made men. Shakespeare was a door
tender in a theater. Franklin was a
job printer. Burritt was a black
smith. The world called them self
made men. More truly were they
honor men in the great university of
Dor, adversely and hard knocks.

President Gibbons. Prof. Wagner called
the names, successfully, and each stu
dent in turn rose and remained stand
ing until his or her diploma was re-
ceived, two of the primary school boys
carrying them from the hands of Presi-
dent Gibbons to the recipients. Each
graduate was greeted with hand-clap-
ping from the under grads" and their
own classmates. The honor students
and the boys who had achieved some
greatness on the diamond or gridiron
came in for an especially liberal share
of the applauding.
Two choruses by the class and Sc
lection by the orchestra interspersed
the literary numbers. The exercises
were closed with benediction by Rev.
DR.. Israel.
The usually almost torturous heat of
