Japan Quick to Use Electricity.

One of the modern Western improve
ments to which the Japanese have
shown a most decided liking is cleo
tricity. In fact, the subtle force is SO
simple in its application and its re-
suits are so wonderful both in the
fields of light and power that it has
made its way to many parts Of the
world where the people are much more
conservative than the active little peo-
pie of Japan.
Electric lighting plants of the most
complete designs have been erected in
Japan, in 9okohoma, Kobe, Toxic,
Kanagawa, Shinegawa, Osaka, Kioto,
Nagoya and other places. The plant
of Nagoya is the latest constructed,
and it contains everything in the way
Of late improvements which ingenuity
has produced.
Water tube boilers of standard
make, engines of the tandem condens-
ing type and economizers to save the
heat that would otherwise go to waste
up the chimneys are among the new
wrinkles utilized. In the generator
room is a travelling crane capable of
picking up and handling any portion
o. the machinery. There are some ex-
cellent water powers in Japan, and the
people are beginning to use these for
driving electric plants TO furnish light
and power. In Kagashima is a 200
horsepower plant run by water pow
er with an eighty-foot fall.

Packed in Plaster.

The ingenious Germans have deyel.
oped novel method of packing and
shipping butter, which may be of in
terest to American dairymen. A light
wooden case or box is lined thorough
ly at the bottom and sides with lay
er OF plaster of paris a quarter of an
inch thick, on which pieces of common
glass are laid before the plaster sets.
The edges of the glass slabs are made
perfectly air tight by means of
gummed paper, and into the perfect
fitting box thus formed butter,
wrapped in good waterproof paper, in
ten-pound cakes, is placed. The glass
top is now put on and made air-tight
with strips Of gummed paper. A layer
OF plaster of paris one-quarter inch
thick is now run over the glass cover
and the lid nailed on the box. Each
case is made to contain about two
hundred pounds of butter. The plas-
ter of paris being a non-conductor,
very little heat reaches the butter,
which arrives at its destination in
good condition.

Mr. Bacon gives one curious instance
of the public tendency to credulity.
He was once advertised to ascend from
the Crystal Palace with Il battery of

aerial sounds were invited to duly re-
port their observations. Mr.. Bacon
ascended as announced. As soon as he
was few hundred feet aloft he sus-
pended cartridge beneath the car and
applied the voltaic current. Nothing

Weird Courtships.

Touched with infinite pathos, as well
as with surprising weirdness, was
the courtship Of young Lancashire
miner who wooed his cousin, a girl of
nineteen, across the dying bed of the
formers father. The girl, who had
been summoned to nurse the old man,
fell in love with the son through
watching his tenderness to his ailing
sire, and thus it came about that while
the aged life was ebbing away two
young lives were converging toward
each other. The father in his final
moments guessed their secret and
joined their hands, and thus did this
remarkable wooing wear to it's end.
In. Germany, where the mortuary
system is far more complete than our
own, and where both male and female
attendants are employed it is no I'M
common thing for courtshlps to be
carried on in these halls of the dead,
and many marriages have been
planned and arranged amid their
surroundings.-Tit-B

"Did you ever stand looking at a

On important holidays sort of field

the officers contribute literally for the
purchase Of prizes. An elaborate pro-
gramme OF sports Is prepared, and If
the ship is equipped with printing
press dodgers are issued calling the at
tention OF all on board to the great
event. These programmes include
such sports as tug-of-war, obstacle
race, sack race, potato race, climbing

ming matches, high and broad jump
ing, boxing at different weights, and
wrestling. Referees and judges are
selected from among officers and men
indiscriminately, and the bars Of dis
cipline are more nearly let down on
these occasions than at any other
time. Everybody in the ship is great
ly interested, either as participant or
spectator. The greatest good nature
prevails, and applause and laughter
alternate at frequent intervals. The
sack racing and the greased-pole
climbing always produce roars Of
laughter from the onlookers. The tug
ofwar contests are sometimes partici-
pated in by almost the entire ships
company divided into two watches. A
hawser is rugged through a snatch
block secured to the deck, and the
men ON each side heave and haul for
five minutes as If their lives depended
upon the result. The potato race con-
sists in picking up potatoes which have
been distributed along the deck at
regular distances, and carrying each
one by itself back to the starting point
and placing it in q basket. Other con-
tests not strictly of an athletic nature
are included in the list. The gro
tesqueness of a competitive cake-walk
adds much to the amusement of the
day. Then, too, pie-eating contest is
not overlooked in the general festivi-

Males Fight Among Themselves.

The general proposition may be laid
down that among the hoofed animals
only the males fight among them
selves. Females are selfish and crowd
and push and strike with heads and
horns to clear a path for themselves
or their young, or both, but they do
not wage formal combats. The one
attacked commonly makes way ut
once, or if she turns in anger the
other promptly retreats. On the other
hand the mother will fight in defense
OF her young. Not always, Of course
since no doubt there is as much diff
ference of temperament among four
legged mothers as among those who
walk erect-but often. This, however,
is but the courage of despair, since
all ungulates trust for safety to their
legs rather than to any weapons of
defense with which they may be pro-
vided. The fawn or calf or colt run
ming with its mother, and pursued,
sticks as close to her rs it possibly
can, running almost under her belly
and obviously depending on her for
safety

THIS unusually good example of the

significant fact in relation to bread

that the opening of every new railroad
in western countries increases the
number of wheat eaters. The estimate
in 1871 that the wheat eaters of the

ly increased for later years, and three
years ago attainable data seemed to
show that wheat was the bread staple

An easy road runs smoothly down,
To Halfway Town;
For everything that's but begun,
And everything that's never done,

Goes into Halfway Town.

In Halfway Town.
Half-fnished streets are always lined
With half-done work of every kind;
And all the world Just lags behind
In dreary Halfway Town.
