"A plan has been formed to run,
of electric automobile coaches which
will get their motive power from one
of several overhead wires by means OF
some flexible conductors that can be,
switched from one wire to another at
will. The vehicles will run on pneu-
matte tires and without tracks, and can
be steered from one side of the road to
the other.

Some one with plenty of time on
his hands has conceived the idea of
hunting through the works of all the
well-known English novelists for the
purpose of gathering all the adjectives
with which to qualify the word kiss"
The result of his labor is that kisses
can be as follows: Cold, warm, icy,
burning, chilly, cool, loving, indiffer-
ent, balsamic, fragrant, blissful, pas
sionate, aromatic, with tears, believed,
long, soft, hasty, Intoxicating, dis
sembling, delicious, frantic, fresh as
the morning, breathing fire, divine,
glad, superficial. quiet, loud, fond,
heavenly, devouring, ominous, fervent,
parching, nervous. soulless, stupefy-
ing, slight, careless, anxious, painful,
sweet, refreshing. embarrassed, shy,
mute, ravishing, holy. sacred, firm,
hurried, faithless, narcotic, feverish,
immoderate, sisterly, brotherly and
paradasiafcal. The task seemed inter-
minable, and he gave up at this stage.
Jenner's discovery was first pub
lished in 1898. Before that the ravages
of smallpox were appalling all over
the world. One in IA of all that were

100000 deaths from smallpox occurred
in a single year of epidemic. DR.. Lett

Der of deaths from this cause in Eu-
rope was 100000 annually. About the
year 1870 the method of incubation
was introduced. A second attack OF

Therefore, after a severe course of dis

of smallpox was brought on by inocu-
lation, which usually rendered the pa

About per cent. of such artifcialiy
produced cases were fatal; but this
was small compared with the mortar
ity in accidental cases. The words of
a peasant woman-'I cannot take that
disease, for I have had cowpox'-first
riveted DR.. Jenner's attention on what
he already knew as a vague tradition
among the milkmaids of Gloucester
