WHIT CAN BE ElDNH.


 The other day harmless, necessary cat' showed what it could do. It un- dertook to walk on feed wire and made havoc throughout the vast elec- trlc railroad system whose power is supplied from Niagara Falls. Its tail touched the parallel wire that carried the current back to the falls. There was a flash that could be seen for miles as the 24000 volts of electricity passed through its body. The charred remains fell across both wires and didn't drop to the ground, This short t-circuited the current and caused a fuse at the Mag ara Falls power house to be burned out. The power was immediately cut off from all the lines running out of the power house, and it was several hours before the cause of the trouble was lo- cated and the charred remains of the cat removed from the wires In the meantime many electric railroads and street lighting plants were without power
 Now comes word that harmless, nec- essary Boston woman has successfully initiated the cats performance. She dropped bundle of sash curtain rods on the rails of the Subway line, short circuiting the current, stalling trains and producing consternation, panic and a tendency to mysteries among many other harmless, necessary women who were trying to get home or. go some- where.
 If there is much more of this kind of thing it will be necessary to take spe- cial precautions against careless cats and careless women. Perhaps it has always been wise to do it, but if they are going to take to interfering with the use and the usefulness of electricity it will be imperative.

THE NEW BRITISH PERSUADEE.

The King Alfred, the British cruiser which was launched the other day, is formidable warship. She is 800 feet
 long, 71 feet wide, and when in fighting trim she will displace 14,1oo tons, her draught being 26 feet. Her speed will be 23 knots, attained by means of two sets of triple expansion engines, devel- oping 30,000 horse -power-said to be the most powerful machinery ever put into a warship. The vessel carries 2,50O tons of coal in her bunkers, and will there fore be able to steam at a cruising equal to voyage from Portsmouth to Melbourne, without renewing her fuel supply. She will carry thirty-f1ve guns, varying in energy from the twenty eight-ton weapon, firing a SS0-pound shot, with power capable of sending one ten weight nearly three and half miles into the air One of these guns is mounted on the forecastle, firing ahead or on either side, and the other is on the poop for astern or broadside at tack They are 36.S6 feet long, and of 9.2 calibre, and, using cerdite, develop muzzle energy of 1880 foot tons. It is expected that they will be able to maintain continuous fire of four shots per minute. Their mountings are of new type, and are arranged to be work

4 CURiO US CiRCUL4R.

The savings banks of Glasgow have issued an appeal to workingmen which
 will strike some as an indication that Scotchmen are not as thrifty as they have been. or as they have the reputa- tion of being. This circular charges that, instead of saving, the Glasgow Scots are now in many cases drawing on what they have laid by to enable them to live on a better scale. The following are quotations from the cir cular, urging the Scots to store up their silver in the savings banks: "No man has any business to be poor. It's his own fault, his own blindness, ignor- ance and self surrender to indulgence" ITO save is absolutely the only way to make a solid fortune. With eyes open in the very monday of life, men make choice of poverty" They show them selves to be animals instead of men. For this is what the hogs and oxen do, filling their bellies now; they have no thought for the future" "A man who has not pound in the world has not the feeling of true manhood at all When a man has enough to support him for the rest of his life he walks like a man, talks like a man, looks you in the face like a man. God be praised, there are some such men in the world '
 There is more truth than poetry in this exhortation, though it has not been generally understood that Scotchmen need such stirring up in order to make them saving. But these are new and big times. and perhaps the example of Andrew Carnegie has given the Glas- gov bankers a new idea of what can be done by saving.

'Tis now the tragic time O year,

 And anything Concerning limbs so brown and bare,
 Or smoking sod But let me lift mine little air
 To the coal hod. know that these be desolate days
 And dreary, too. ., watch the woodlands whitish haze
 Hide Heavens blue; Yet, as the years last strands begin
 To feed Times shuttle, feel there's much of cheer within

They are using electricity in an inn < nressive way in California. There has lust been opened line from the Upper
 Ytfba river to Oakland, a distance of
 14O miles, while, by a tepmorary con-
 nection to San Jose, power is actually
 ca rried 1894 miles. A double pole-line has been built, and at the Straits of 7 SCaruuinez the current is carried on suspended span 4,427 feet long, which,
 according to the Engineering News, is the "longest single span of cable ever erected" The power, too, is transmit fed at the surprisingly high pressure snf from 40, GOO to 60,000 volts, an achieve ment which the same authority regards ;as san engineering precedent of great interest,"" The effective head of water at the principal one of the three power s,s...i;t5i,s is 695 feet, the machinery now installed is capable of delivering 17,000' horse- power, and water is available for 13 00O horsepower more.

y The sons of the late W. L. Winans of
 Baltimore, somewhat conspicuous for his great estate in Scotland, were sued for legacy duties on the estate, valued
 at about $12,00OOOO. The sons sought to avoid payment of the duties by proving that their father was an American on the curious grounds that he declined to call peers by their hereditary titles and
 often addressed dukes by their Chris
 tan names. The English courts found 1tlfy evidence frivolous and the duties will have to be paid.
