A substitute for wooden flooring Is
being introduced which appears to be
built up with asbestos as q basis. It's
special features are noiselessness, du-
rability and heat-resisting qualities,
being absolutely fireproof 1t is laid
down on a cement foundation. The
material is said to lend itself readily
to designs in color and is susceptible
of a high polish upon surfaces not sub
feet to abrasion. 1t appears to be de-
signed especially for use in public
buildings, libraries, halls hospitals and
on war vessels. In the case of hospi-
tails 1t forms a very desirable floor,
owing to its noiselessness and its sani-
tary qualities. 1t is readily cleansed,
and when used in combination with a
so-called sanitary base, gradual
curve from floor TO Dashboard elimlnat-
ing the corner angle, is forms an ideal
flooring for the purpose.

THE CALAMITY.

All at once the street car sort O. hoped
And then, with jolt and bump, il stopped
For another car was just ahead.
As motionless is if 'twere dead,
Another car was ahead of that,
Two men inside, one lean, one fat,
And ahead of that was another car,
With one lone man of the G.. A. h.
Another car was ahead of that,
In which a sleeping copper sat,
And another car ahead of that,
Was as empty as a looted fiat.
Ahead of that was another car,
And ahead of that another car,
And ahead of that another car,
And ahead of that another car,
And another car ahead of that,
And another car ahead of that,
And another car ahead of that,
And other cars ahead of those,
And still more cars ahead of those,
And ahead of those were others still,
And stretching ahead were others still,
While each was as silent as the tomb
And veritable cave of gloom.

M. Ducretet, repeating the expert
ments Of Bourbouze made in 1876 has
lately endeavored, with success, to
transmit human speech through Ordi-
nary telephones, using the earth as the
only conductor. The results are very
interesting, though difficult to explain.
One thing is certain, says the expert
menter, namely, that earth filters out,
so to say, the continuous current neees-
sary to the operation Of the apparatus.
This current is diffused into many otL-
ers capable of actuating a certain mum
ber Of telephones distributed around
the transmitter, and in the expert
ments cited these dffused currents
were strong enough to operate a relay
with a call-bell.

A correspondent of Nature has found
that the spiral horn Of a wild sheep,
when so placed that the ear is the axis
of the coil makes the ticking of a
watch more audible in one particular
direction. Since the ear Of the sheep
is surrounded by the horn he infers
that the latter acts as an ear-trumpet,
not improving the hearing for distant
sounds, but disclosing the direction Of
a sound. This would be useful in en-
abling the sheep to ascertain the exact
points from which sounds come when
there is a mist or fog covering its feed
ing grounds.

1t was not exactly "a man hunt that

yesterday, but one of. the big monkeys
from the Gentry show, pursued by mob
OF howling men and boys, looked SO hu-
man that for time bystanders were de-
ceived into the belief that some modern
Esau was about to be lynched.
The monkey took his departure just
about Sunday school time. He no sooner
cleared the fence surrounding the show
grounds than, urged by promise Of reward
the spectators took up the chase.
Up Nicollet and around the corner OF
East Fourteenth went the solemn-faced
monk. He took hurdles with skill that
horses never attain. Thirty feet at a
bound soon put the chasing mob to the bad
In fact they were distanced. His mon
keyship lodged around the Normandte

DR.. MARY DAM0N'S DEATH
Well Known Physician of Mime
apolis Takes Her Own Life
at Weston, Mass.

DR.. Mary Damon, we'll known ply
sic1an Of this city, committed suicide yes
terday at the residence of her aunt in
Weston, Mass. She went east, April Is,
on account Of her health, but was rap
idly improving, and yesterday morning
her friends were encouraged to believe
that she would regain her wonted
strength In a short time. She told them
that she felt better than she had for
some time and appeared quite cheerful
At noon she was found dead In her room
having cut her own throat.
DR.. Damon was torn in Concord, Mass,
thirty-eight years ago. She was a daugh-
ter of Edward G. Damon, president OF
the National Bank of Concord, and her
people were pr ointment. She was grad
uated from Vassar college in 1885, and
then took up the study of medicine and
in the practice of her profession was
successful. Six years ago she came to
Minneapolis. -,.
Dr.. Damon was well known in this
city, both in her profession and So
cially. She had been the physician of the
Humane society for year and a half
having been reelected for second year
work of Plymouth orgregational church
where she had charge of the primary de-
partment.
DR.. Damon had a host of acquaintances
in the city who will be shocked to learn
of her death. She was happy and viva
cious and made friends easily. She was
not of the disposition that woull sug-
gest. that she might commit suicide. Life
appeared a success for her and hel
friends are at loss to explain why she
should wish to commit suicide.

Clever Animals of the Gentrys Out
for Inspection.
There have been longer parades made
by the greater circuses, but prettier
one was never seen than was that given
by the Gentry shows to-day. There were
100 gaily caparisoned ponies attached to
half as many tiny chariots; dogs of every
color and description, bedecked with rib
bons of the brightest hues; cages as neat,
clean and bright as new silver dol
lar. The streets were lined with an
eager and happy crowd of women and
children.
When it comes to trained animal pc
rades the Gentrys proudly assert that
there is none better than theirs, and the
street parade they gave this morning
substantiates the statement.
The Gentry show will be in Minneapolis
at Thirteenth street and Nicollet avenue

Head of the Volunteers Of America
Speaks in Minneapolis.
General Ballington Booth, head Of the
volunteers OF America, addressed an i'm
mense audience at Wesley M E. church
last evening on philanthropy and
Christianity b.
He spoke of the great growth of the
organization from its humble beginnings
on Union Square. New York, six years
ago. It's object, he said, was not self
aggrandizement. The purpose was to
for the weary travellers zionward, and to
help men and women to lead nohler,
purer lives" The influence of the Vol
unteers among working people was tre-
mendous. The Volunteers had succeeded
In reaching convicts where all other
prison reform organizations had failed.
AT present $3.50 names are on the prison
roll of the Volunteers, $4,000 men behind
prison bars are in correspondence with
them, and $3.50 ex-convicts have secured
good positions through their association
with the earnest workers in the cause
On the platform with General Booth
we're Rev. DR.. ]. S. Montgomery of
Wesley church; Rev. DR.. Hallock of
Plymouth church and members of the
local Volunteers.
\ General Booth addressed large meet
ing at Westminster Presbyterian church
in the morning. He spoke OF society as
being divided into three classes-the gold
class, which drifted along on the stream
of prosperity, and knows nothing of the
poor the silver class, composed OF wage
earners, little lower down in the scale,
and the "under-scuff" of society-the con-
quered who turn night into day and live
amid crime, filth and disease. It was to
the latter that the Volunteers ministered.
At the request Of DR.. J. E. Bushnell OF
Westminster church, Brigadier General
Fielding spoke of some of the slum work
in Chicago.
General Booth left for Chicago last
! evening :.
