noted scientist, in an exhaustive arti-
Gle, satisfied himself and thousands of
others that the telephone could never
be brought into practical use. To-day
it is estimate there are 2,278, O0O tee
phones in use in the United States

now without the aid of the phone.
Business Is transacted over the tele-
phone, although the parties are sepa-
rated by thousands of miles. The home
and the Office are brought together by
means of the telephone. These instru-
ments have now invaded the country
districts, and the telephone and the
free delivery of mail are going hand in

A TEETH DEcAY1NG JOB.
Men Working in Storage battery FITS
Lay 1t to 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 the 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 i'll effects are felt, says the
New York Tribune.
Twelve men work in the tive pits
at the power house in West Forty
second street, in which the storage
batteries are taken from the ears,
recharged and rest ored to the ears
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 to be lowered from
and raised to the cars through them.
AS the ears are stopped over the
openings, which are exactly the
shape of the batteries, the 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 to the floor
of the crane. This powerful machine:
also carries a 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 it in place
under the ear.
The batteries are charged for oncs
two or three trips. When the num-
Der of trips made by each car in the
course of a day is considered it iss
apparent that the batteries are re-
charged many times, even in IL
hours. Sulphuric acid and water
form the liquid proportions of these
batteries, andewhen 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 a 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
eraI blowers bring fresh air from
the outside, but the fumes are not
entirely dispelled. On some days.
when the wind blows from such a
quarter as, to force the fumes back
rather than draw them out, the men

ENGLAND's WEDDING RING.
symbol Used at Coronation Once BE-
Ionged to Ed ward the Con-
lessor.

"The Wedding Ring of England" is
of plain gold. set with large ia bic
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 afterw4srd, says Lippincott's,
two English pilgrims lost their way
in the Holy Lame and were succored
by "faYre olde man." who. on part
ing said to them: 81 am Johan the
Evangelist; and saye We vpto Edward
yovr kyng that 1 CRETE him well by
the token that he gaff to me, thys
rynge, with hys one handles"
Certain it is that James H., when
detained by the fishermen of Sheer
ness on his first attempt to flee the
country in 1858, contrived to hide
ring, called 1.-The coronation ring" in
his clothing.
This was a 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 /.
through the channels by which he OBJ
tanned all the remaining papers of the
house of Stuart.
at the coronation the arch bishop
puts the ring on the fourth finger of
his majesty's right hand, saying:

~ dignity and of defense of the Cath

The following editorial is from the
Mad son fNebr. Mail, Senator Aliens
pap er, and gives that gentieman's
vie VS. about the future of the peoples
p 4rty:-
"The organization of the Populist
party should be kept intact in every
state in the union. 1t should not be
permitted to be stamped out by either
democratic or republican influence.
Neither the republican nor the demo-
cratic party can claim the allegiance
or support of the populists."
1.-The populist is separate and dis
tinct political entity called into exist
ance some years ago by conditions
which neither of the old parties had
the disposition or power to remedy.
These conditions still exist and the
party should continue to live. While
it is proper in qualified way to CO.
operate with those with whom the
party agrees on given measures, yet
this should not be done by amalga-
nation with another party or be suf-
fured to go to the extent of weaken
ing the populist party"
at is to be sincerely hoped that
those who are battling for the preser-
Walton of the party in the various
states will be successful. Everywhere
the voice of the old line and true
populist is for the maintenance of the
state and national organizations"
