Is 1t Any Wonder?

A stranger appeared in Atchison yes
terday and was drunk on the streets
this morning, during the rain. He
should have been taken to the police
station, and locked up until he was So
Der, and then sent out of town. He
should not have been mistreated, or
unnecessarily Inundated, but he should
not have been permitted to annoy busy
men, as he did. Men of this stripe are
mental cripples; no man in his right
around the streets IN maudlin disgust
ing condition. Such men should be
cared for, as eplleptlcs are cared for;
certainly they should not be allowed to
annoy men who are willing to work.
The fellow we refer to staggered over
into the Missouri Pacific yards, and if
he should be injured it would be the
fault of the police. a man who is rag
ged and dirty, and still pays his money
for that which disgraces him, and does
him harm, is not of sound mind. He is
''nutty" People are getting better no.

fellow we refer TO, worked yesterday,

key. He needed clothing, but spent his

The great objection to electric mo-
tors-that they will not run far enough
without recharging-is said to be over
come. Recently in England a circuit
of "a miles was run without recharg-
ing. 1t was done with a battery of AZ
four-plate cells, with capacity of $50
ampere-hours. The carriage was IA
four-wheel dogcart with two motors of
two and half horsepower each. The
secret of the battery which enabled it
to make such record was that in
going down grade the motors were re-
versed, thus making dynamos for
charging the accumulators. In this
way the current was not only saved,
but new current actually generated,
rendering the battery stronger at the
bottom of the grade than 1t vas at the
top.
