Gus in Germany, where so many trains
do not make their entire run inject,
but are cut into sections for branch
lines at one point and reassem bled or
added to at another. In the manage
ment of postal cars, which are loaded
at the point of departure and make a
uniform through run without change,
the loading and unloading of charged
and exhausted storage batteries in
wolves no difficulty. but this is not the
case with passenger cars.
Experiments are now being made on
train between Berlin and Cologne
with the Stone system Of electric light
ing, in which each car carries a small
dynamo geared to a wheel axel and an
accumulation, both hung beneath the
floor of the car. This system has
proved successful in England; but it is
claimed here that the varying speed
and stoppages of the train causes vari-
atoms and unsteadiness in the light,
which the accumulation does not cor
rect. Finally, the instances where gas
has proved a source of actual danger in
accidents have been so rare and its use
has been on the whole so satisfactory
that, in view of the cost and technical
difficulties which general substitu-
ton of electrical lighting would in
vo1ve, expert opinion is still divided as
to the wisdom or necessity of such a
change.

Deafness. Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of Of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces

Proposed Electric Railway for Lei

Proposed Electric Railway for Lei
The tramways subcommitte of the
Leicester corporation has issued a
lengthy report upon it's investigation
of the different systems of tramway
traction in operation in various cities
and towns of Great Britain, together
with a number of important recon-
mendations. The committee has come
to the conclusion that the overhead
trolley system of electric traction is
the most efficient, reliable, quick and
economical system extant, and there
fore recommends it's adoption in
Leicester, following the purchase Of
the present tramway company's un-
dertaking. The scheme which is out
lined in the committees report in
wolves the reconstruction of existing
tramway lines and their extension to
various points on the outskirts of the
borough. It also recommends the
adoption of the continuous direct
current system of generating plant,
with central power station on land
already belonging to the corporation.
If the scheme should be approved by
the town council, parliamentary
powers will be sought for carrying
out the various works involved, which
win include the laying of Is miles of
double lines in the borough. The re-
port will be brought before the coun-
Gil for consideration at an early date.

SILK Spinning in Japan.

In spite of the fact that Japan occu-
pies the foremost rank in silk produce,
the silk-spinning industry remains,
comparatively speaking, in its infancy.
The work was first taken up as gov
eminent enterprise in 1877; but there
now exist only nine mills of the kind,
all private, and seven of them were es-
tablished subsequent to 1877. To brief
ly review the history of this new in
dustry, the pioneer mill was started in
1877 at Shimmachi. Gummaken, use
being made of the water power avail
able and the help of three foreign ex-
perts especially engaged by the gov
eminent having been secured. Two
years later. number of the shizoku of
Mayebashi started a silk mill on their
own account, and in 1887 the govern
ment mill was sold to the Mitsui firm,
which also got transferred to it, about
eight years after, the Mayebashi mill.
Meanwhile, another private factory
was established in 1887 in Kyoto. and
still another near Hodogaya. Kama

ments suffered for awhile considera BILE
reverses, brought about by various
causes. In addition to the primary de-

experts, and hence of those who
| worked under them, was far from equal
to the work to which they applied
themselves, ordinary silk ruled low in
the market, while the demand for it
was as yet comparatively limited both
at home and abroad, the public not car
ing to patronize the spun silk, inferior
in quality as it was to ordinary silk and
comparatively high in price. It was
| subsequent to the Japan-China war
that the silk mills began for the first
time to take breath; for with the sud-
den launching Of sundry enterprises, a
| greater consumption of silk, with a
consequent advance of it's prices,
coupled with the fact that the japanese
| experts had, in the meanwhile, toler-
ably we'll initiated themselves into the
practice and theory of the work, the
business of silk spinning became for
the first time profita ble-so much so
that the first mill in Kyoto, which has
subsequently added to itself another
mill, was able to declare a dividend OF
as much as 40 to so per cent. This pros
porous condition has given a powerful
impetus to the industry, so that since
the war five new mills have made their
appearance.
