Dnstinr With a Hose.

The waiting room of the Broad street
station is busted by compressed air
every Saturday morning.
An hour after midnight an immense
step ladder, mounted on wheels, is
pulled into the waiting room and long
hose is attached to pipes which con-
meet with the reservoir of compressed
air used to supply locomotives.
The expert duster mounts the ladder,
takes the hose in hand and merely
points it at a dusty place; the wind
does the rest.
Two fellow workmen push the lad
der truck from place to place. the air
is turned on here, there and every
where until walls, ceiling, frieze, col
umns, windows, seats-every nook and
Granny, in fact, of the great waiting
place-are thoroughly purged of dust.
The task thus accomplished in a
few hours by three men could not be
done in any other manner by 10 times
as many workers in "a hours, the night

The psychology of animals is sub
rapidly, says The London Graphic Not
long since a society in Paris for the
investigation of the soul of animals"
made the great discovery that lions
were greedy and monkeys vain. Moro
recently a savant, after many expert
ments at the geological gardens, elic-
tied proof of the high aesthetic ca
pacities of the feline tribe. A tiger
purred and smiled over piece of wool
dipped in lavender water, and lion
hit his consort on the side of the head
when she approached his bottle of eau
de cologne. Another professor has now
shown that animals are at least as
subject to hypnotic influence as men.
Lobsters for instance when stood on
their head for five or ten minutes, be-
come SO thoroughly hypnotized that
jogging did not awaken Them
Guinea pigs are equally susceptible,
if care is taken to avoid making a
sqeaky snoise. 1t is curious that in
this investigation into animal psy-
chology scientific appliances are not
more used. The phonograph would
be of inestimable value in the hands
of an experimenter in finding out the
language and might be almost as USE
full as gazing hypnotically at croco-
diles" or spinning guinea pigs like

lOCkJAW AND ITS CAUSES.
Countries Where 1t Is Most Liable e
Occur.

Countries Where 1t Is Most Liable to
Occur.
Lockjaw, or tetanus, is a disease
which fortunately is more read about
than seen, yet it is not very rare at
least in it's mild form. 1t occurs more
frequently in children than in older
people, and oftener in boys than in
girls; but this is probably only be-
cause boys are more liable to cut and
scratch themselves, for it is aftec
such injuries that lockjaw usually oc
ours.
The disease is more common in
some countries than in others, Eng
land being one of the countries and
Cuba another in which it prevails to
a much greater extent than in the
United States. Here, too, some states
and some portions of states have an
unenviable pre-eminence in this re-
gard
The trouble usually begins with
stiffness and tendency to contraction
in the muscles which bring the teeth
together. and with the progress of tho
disease it becomes impossible to open
the mouth; hence the popular name
"lockjaw." The other muscles of tho
face soon become affected in the sams
way, and after them the muscles OF
the neck, the trunk and the extrem-
tiles. According as one or another
set of muscles is the strongest or
most firmly contracted the arms and
legs will be thrown into constrained
positions. and the body will be bent
forward or backward or to one side.
When these spasms, which are
usually painful, are very severe and
recur frequently or even become con.
tinuous, tetanus is usually fatal. For.
tunately, however, this is the less
common form of the disease In the
usual milder variety the spasms are
less severe and less frequent, and
soon, with proper care. begin to be.
come less and less marked until they
finally cease entirely.
Lockjaw is caused by poison ex.
creted by microbe which is found
in the soil, especially near stables and
in manure heaps.
This poison, which is somewhat like
strychnine in its effects. is absorbed
into the system through wound
made with rusty nail or other dirty
object, or through a wound which has
been soiled with earth or bound up
with dirty rag. Sometimes, espe
cially in tropical countries like Cuba
the disease comes on after wetting
or sudden chill, even when there is
no wound of the skin so far as can be
seen, or it may follow insect bites.
A person with lockjaw must be
Kept perfectly quiet and shielded
from anything that may bring on a
| paroxysm, such as a touch, a jolt OF
| the bed, or even a strong draught OF
| air. The treatment belongs directly
| to the physician, for tetanus is toe
serious malady and too rapid in its
course to permit any experimenting
with domestic remedies. The fatal
cases usually last only four or five
days, but the milder forms may con,
tinue for two weeks before recovery
is complete.-Youth's Companion.

According to Harper'5 Weekly, Eng
land is looking forward to the fiercest
municipal contests the kingdom has
had for years. There is not an alder
man in the whole realm who does not
want to be mayor of his respective
town because it has been announced
that every mayor in the United King
dom will be knighted when Edward is
crowned king Whether Edward him
self will personally bestow the accolade
does not appear, but as he is going to
revive all the ancient ceremonies con-
nected with the coronation it seems no
more than fair that he crafty the in
tense desire of so many loyal subjects.
Only one thing could increase the hap
piness of John Bull when he is knight
ed, and that is to receive his knight
hood from his sovereign's hand. 1t
would be unkind in the king to disap-
point the honored gentlemen.

may be pardoned, has been reported.
During the recent French naval name

Bouvines was entering at the Straits of
Gibraltar when its wireless telegraph
apparatus recorded the fact that in the
vicinity was another ship similarly
equipped The Bouvines, thinking that
the other ship belonged to the French
fleet began to talk to it, and the other
ship replied. There was, so to say,
confusion of tongues, and after a few
minutes the Frenchman discovered
that instead of talking to a compatrot
it was an Englishman "at the other

much of it as has been published, un-

HOW THE NERVY LITTLE FUNSTON
WILL ENDEAVOR TO CAPTURE AGUINALDO

Manila, March 2J.-The news of the
capture of Aguinaldo by General Funs.
ton is daily expected. General Funs-
ton left Manila two weeks ago at the
head of an expedition organized by
Governor General Macarthur for the
express purpose of capturing the in
surgcnt leader. The expedition is
made up of trusted natives, under COM
mand of General Funston, assisted by
Captain John Newton. of the Thirty
fourth volunteer infantry; Lieutenant
Admire, of the Twenty-second in
fantry; Lieutenant Mitchell, of the
Fortieth volunteers, and Surgeon
Major Harris. The expedition was
conveyed by the gunboat Vicksburg
and the cruiser Albany to landing
place on the east coast of Luzon. north
of Baler. From the landing place
Funston had a six days march inlano
before reaching Aguinaldo's hiding
place. 1t is believed now that the
Kansas general has already carried
out the details of his plans.

TO capture Aguinaldo is the most
