INVENTION TO PREVENT
TROLLEY WIRE ACCIDENTS.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
London, April 2O.-Overhead trolley-wire
accidents are becoming ~unpleasantly fire.
quent where the new street car service hes
been introduced in English cities.
A recent mishap in Liverpool, where q i've
wire trailing on the ground after disconnec-
ton made considerable havoc, has led an in
ventive Engllshman to devise means to pre-
vent its recurrence.
Ordinary overhead wires are provided
with a fuse, which should melt when a
breakdown occurs. but, as was shown in
Liverpool, this expectation is not always
realized. The Englishman's invention is a
secondary circuit. 1t Is above the main ca
BILE, alongside the companion wire, but is
from the main cable.
In the event Of the main cables becoming
broken an automatic switch. connected with
the companion wire, would be operated in
the main station to disconnect the circuit
from the main cable. The inventor, although
Englishman. rejoices in the French name
of Lemesurier.

London, April O.-Fire Is everything: the
rest is of small account.
This teaching Of the great Napoleon can
be taken to imply that 1t matters but
little whether a big or little man Il at
in with his bullet.
This question Of height and weight,
apart from physique. is exercising the minds
OF the militant with respect to future re-
cruiting. The standard Of the British SOL
der is in peril Of falling, because the
stern realities of modern warfare tend to
show that the little man Is the best cam
paigner.
The days of shock tactics, where stature
and solidity were Of great account. have
passed, and the further need Of an average
standard is no longer necessary for fighting
men. Inches and ~poundage are giving way
before the fact that light men are mobile
because they take less out Of the horses
and are easily mounted. Behind a ride tho

There Is a considerable proportion Of the

of a lack Of height. and 1t is calculated that

cavalry could be raised IL the standard

Questioned upon this point, an o6lcer Of

fine soldiers they make. And the japanese

height Is immaterial. We want q lower

THE long pace is not good training, being
slow enough to cause a drag after some
miles OF marching. With the abolition OF
the pack the men should move quicker and

THE shorter rifle will suit q shorter class
Of man.
"For mounted men, yes. But not. for
Infantry. What We most need with regard
to rifle shooting Is practice at unknown dis
tances. and at home this is not obtainable.

. Berlin, April @.-Discoveries Of great in
terest to anthropologists have been made
in the chalk hills of Rudersdorf, near Berlin.
Five well-preserved human bodies were
dug out Of the hills. They must have been

The first body unearthed was that of an

beard. "A knife was pierced through his
heart. His clothing consisted of a hide with
the fur outwards.
The next corpse was that of a middle
aged man, similarly clad, and in his hand
was a kind of ~tomahawk, which he had

FIGHT ON THE BUDGET WILL
BE CENTERED ON SUGAR TAX.
lt Is Calculated to Produce Five Millions, and the British
Government Must Stick to the Duty or Go Out
Sir Michael's Blunt Candor.

, income tax stood in 1855 as high ~ II
pence.
As it is. the Chancellor Of the Exchequer
proposes to increase the national debt by
sixty millions, interest on which will be
at least a million and a half.
Opposition to the new loan can hardy
succeed. The most vulnerable, as also the
most unsound. part Of the budget is the
duty of a shilling a ton on exported coal; II
is unsound because 1t returns to the bad
and vicious system Of interfering with
| foreign trade, which was formally aban-
doned by Sir Robert Peel. with the full
approval of a conservative Parliament of
1Si5.
Foreigners will not pay the tax. British
coal has. except for naval purposes, no mo-
Eopoly. The tax will fall in the first in
stance upon the coal owner. who will en-
deavor to shift 1t either upon his customers
at home in higher prices. or upon the work
people in lower wages. It is estimated that
1t will bring in about two millions.
To dislocate a whole great industry for
such a sum is not. in current slang. good
enough. 1 should not be surprised were
this proposal dropped, especially II 1t leads
to the return Of a liberal candidate for the
BorouGhs.
Sir Blunt Confession.
There will be big fight over sugar. but
the Government must stick to the
duty or go out. 1t Is calculated to pro-
Guce more than five millions. and is an
integral part Of the budget. Protectionists
fair traders and persons interested in West
Indian sugar are annoyed because the duty
is not made diferential in favor Of the
colonies
But Sir Michael is a man OF courage.
with a sincere contempt for crotchets n
crotchetmongers. His whole speech was .
very able and interesting one. honest, man
ly and straightforward. 1t is not q pleas
ing thing to introduce a two hundred
million budget. He CLOSED it over with
no smooth words. He admitted hat the
war had already cost a hundred and fifty
millions, that the end was not in sight. that
1t would cost many millions more, and that
subsequent settlement would be most ex-
pensive.
Sir William Vernon arcourt made the
most of the occasion, when he asked why
the startling extract from Sir Alfred MIL
ner's gloomy dispatch had not been pub
lished until nearly two months after It had
been received.
There is no foundation for tho report
that Sir Albert Miner has been recalled.
He is coming home on leave at his own re-
quest, with the full intention of returning,
but the tone Of his remarks. or such OF
them as the Government has allowed to
appear, is not encouraging. and adds to the
depression with which the budget would,
in any case. have been received.
