A TEETH DEcAYINe JOB.
Men working In storage Dattery Pits
Lay n 20 suIphuric Acid
Fumes.

Calculated to arouse wonder and
perhaps excite the curiosity Of the
medical and dental professions were
it generally known is the fact that
the teeth Of the men who handle the
storage batteries of tho Thirty
fourth street crosstown cars rot
from the effects Of the acid fumes
which arise from the batteries as
they are charged, while apparently
no other IN effects are felt, says the
New York Tribune.
Twelve men work in the ,wo pits
at the power house in West Forty
second street, in which the storage
batteries are taken from the cars,
recharged and restored TO the cars.
The pits are situated between the
tracks near the doors at each end
Of the building through which the
cars enter and depart Each pit has
two openings just large enough to
permit batteries 20 be lowered from
and raised to the cars through them.
As the cars are stopped over the
openings, which arc exactly the
shape of the batteries, tho rectangu-
lar boxes, their power having been
consumed, are released from the fas-
Jennings which clutch them TO the
underbody of the car. They fall
through the opening into a frame
work, travelling on a railway in the
pit, and are guided down 20 the floor
of the crane. This powerful machine
also carries freshly charged bat
terry, and when the powerless one has
been lowered the fresh one is hoisted
into place in the same manner, an
automatic clutch holding il in place
under the car.
The batteries are charged for one,
two or three trips. When the mum.
Der of trips made by each car in the
course of a day is considered ii is
apparent that the batteries arc re-
charged many times, even in IL
hours. Sulphuric acid and water
form the liquid proportions OF these
batteries, and when they are charged
with an electric current they eXhale
clouds of vapor or fumes which are
strongly impregnated with sulphuric
acid 1t is these fumes, the men say,
which cause their teeth to decay
rapidly, even in such a short space
of time as three months. Save for
causing n soreness of the skin, the
fumes apparently do them no other
harm and have no effect on their
lungs, though they cannot help but
inhale the acid-charged fumes. Sew
eral blowers bring fresh air from
the outside, but the fumes are not
entirely dispelled. On some days
when the wind blows from such q
quarter as TO force the fumes back,
rather thGl draw them out, the men
are obliged TO work with cloth over
their noses. Yet all the workers in
the pit seem satisfied, and say they
do not mind the fumes after they
have become accustomed TO them
Even the men who work over the
pits on the outside show decaying
teeth aud say in that respect that II
is just as bad TO work over the pit
as IL is inside IL.

ENGLAND's WEDDING RING.
symbol Used at Coronation once Be-
lonEed TO Edward the Con-
fessOr.

"The Wedding Ring Of England" Is
of plain gold, set with a large table
ruby, on which the cross Of st.
George Is engraved.
Legend says that this ring belonged
to Edward the Confessor, and that
he bestowed it on an old beggar who
asked an aims Of him, he having moth.
ing else at hand at the moment.
Soon afterward, says Lippincott's,
two English pilgrims lost their way
in the Holy Land and were succored
by a "fayre olde man." who on part
ing said 10 them; 81 am Johun the
Eyangelyst; and saye ye vnto Edward
yoyr kyng that / CRETE him vcu by
the token that he gah 10 me, tbys
rynge, with hys one handles"
Certain IL is that James H., when
detained by the fishermen Of Sheer
ness on his first attempt TO flee the
country in 16ss, contriyed to hide a
ring, called "the coronation ring in
his clothing.
This was n favorite ring OF Mary,
queen Of Scots, and was sent by her
at her death TO James l., finally com
ing into the possession Of George j.
through the channels by which he OBJ
tanned all the remaining papers Of the
house Of Stuart.
AT the coronation the archbishop
puts the ring on the fourth finger OF
his majesty's right hand saying;
Receive this ring, the ensign Of king
ly dignity and Of defense of the Cath.
