The construction of the first electric
tramway in London is rapidly ap-
preaching completion.
All the Russian warships on the Chi
nese station are to be fitted with Po'
poffs system of wireless telegraphy
The experiments with this apparatus
have been carried out up to distances
of 40 miles with perfect success.
Electricity Is now beginning to be
extensively used in Calcutta for varf
Gus purposes, such as lighting, fans to
take the place of punkhas that were
puIIed by coolies, for driving machin.
cry, etc.
One of the large agricultural imple-
ment manufacturers has about CON-
pleted arrangements to engage in the
manufacture of the Borsig electric
plow for the American market. This
machine has come into very general
use in Europe and will probably be-
come popular here.
A new method for hardening and In.
creasing the life of storage battery
plates has just been patented. 1t con-
sists in dipping the plates alternately
in acidulated water and a dilute solu-
tion Of pyridin, which is complex
chemical substance derived syntheti-
cally from coal tar residues. In the
pyridin solution is a small quantity of
alcohol, and it is asserted that the COM
bination of all the agencies concerned
results in greatly strengthening the
oxidizing the plate in making it of
considerably higher capacity than it
would be without this treatment.

which approximate most closely to sun
light, the blue and the ultra violet rays
of the arc light.
A remarkable instance of battery
OF accumulatOrs working under water
was recently given at the municipal
electric plant In Munich. The station
is situated on an island in the Isar, and
during a food the water covered the
batteries. According to The Scientific
American, one of the batteries which
ran the car lines was completely cut
out, and 1t was thought that the other,
which furnished light, would have to
be treated in the same way. The fly
wheels Of the engines were half In the
water. Nevertheless as 1t was almost
indispensable to light at least the prin-
cipal streets Of the city II was decided
to try to operate the submerged bat
tery. The attempt was successful, and
the battery which had been construct
ed to give 5000 ampere hours with a
900 ampere discharge was able to fur
nish 1000 ampere hours during the
night. The remainder was lost in dis
charges In the water.

To Make One Grow,

The Chicago Record says a French
physician claims to have found new
drug which will add to the human
stature. 1t Is a simple decoction Of
cereals, which are boiled three hours.
The liquid Is strained, sugared and
drunk while fresh. DR.. Springer states
that his experiments with the drug on
animals and children indicated such
control over their growth that he could
even make giants Of those whose or
ganization was especially favorable. 1t
is point already wen established that
by feeding a child with quantities Of
very moist food he will be gigantic in
stature as compared with a child nour-
ished on dried, smoked, spiced, astrin-
gent or tonic food administered spar
ingly. The inhabitants of the north Of
Europe drink much tea, beer and milk,
which, together with the influence OF
their moderately cool and moist cli
mate, favors the growth Of their bodies.
In southern Europe, where dry and
spiced food is used, together with spir-
ituous liquors, bodies, though more
sprightly, are generally shorter. OF all
foods cereals are those that contain
most soluble phosphates, which serve
as nutrients to the bones. Dr. Springer,
while relying on cereals to promote
growth, prescribes also systematic
gymnastics for exciting and regulating
assimilation, for if the bony structure
be too rapidly or prematurely develop
ed the body will become stiff and un-
manageable, and instead of growth
dwarfing will ensue. He also uses at
the same time electric discharges, espe-
cially at the knee joint, with continual
examination by the X ray, to observe
the progress Of the method. If In spite
Of all this there is stoppage Of the
growth, fresh thyroid gland of calf or
sheep is administered. DIR. Springer in
slsts above everything that people who
wish to make the most of their growth
must abstain from alcohol. Arrest Of
development is particularly noticeable
In districts given over to alcoholism.
In France there are whole villages un-
able to furnish a single recruit TO the
army because for this reason the inhab-
!tants are all undersiZed.

PRESIDENT SCHURMAN'S VIEW
OF THE SITUATION in CUBA

New York, April 16--A dispatch tt
the Herald from Havana says:
Jacob G. Schurman, president of Cor
nell university, has been in Cuba fol
ten days studying the political situa
ton. He visited four Of the six prov
inces of the island, talked with Cubans
of all classes in their own tongue, and
followed closely current opinion rs ex'
pressed in the Cuban newspapers, OF
which he is an indefatigable reader
President Schurman says:
"The people of Cuba are less excited
over the menace to Cuban sovereignty
supposed to be contained in the Plat
amendment than are the politicians OF
Havana. Indeed, business men and
owners of property universally favor
an immediate acceptance of the amend.
ment. Tough many told me they did
not dare state so publicly.
''The present political uncertainty Is
paralyzlng TO the movements of capl-
tai, which is indispensable for the re-
covery Of the prosperity Of the island.
So. too, n majority of the educated
men of the country recognize the neces-
sity, from the Cuban point Of view, Of
the protection and security guaranteed
by the Platt amendment. The opposl-
ton comes from the poorest and most
ignorant section of the community, al
though how far they have views Of
their own and how far they are influ-
enced by wire pulling politicians 1t is
difficult to determine.
II have talked with both white and
colored men-and one-third of the pop
ulation of Cuba Is colored. Many of
these have no ideas whatever on the
subject. On the other hand, | have
been surprised by the earnestness with
which both white and colored-colored
perhaps more than the white-have de-
claimed TO me against the amendment
as 4 menace TO their liberties and an
insldlous scheme for reducing them to
colonial dependence as oppressive as
that from which the war with Spain
delivered them.
"Of course the knowledge of these
people is ill-proportioned 10 their zeal.
The measure they oppose has no eS-
istence, but such is their idea of the
amendment and such their attitude
toward the product of their own imagi-
nation. Nor can you argue them out of
this state of mind-the less so as they
represent the class that fought both in
surrections against Spain for the indie
pendence OF Cuba. Nothing but the
fact Of a self-governing Cuba will con-
vince these people that their liberties
