A TEETH DEcAYING JOB.
Men working i'm storage Battery fits
Lay liz TO suIphuric Acid
Fumes.


Calculated to arouse wonder and
perhaps excite the curiosity OF the
medical and dental professions were
| il 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 two 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 TO be lowered from
and raised to the cars through them.
As the cars 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 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 car.
The batteries are charged for one,
two or three trips. When the num-
ber of trips made by each car in the
course of a day is considered it is
apparent that the batteries are 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 yapor or fumes which are
strongly impregEated 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
eral 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
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 and say in that respect that il
is just as bad to work over the pit
as it is inside it.

DANGERS OF CABLES.
quent the Ocean at Great
Depth.

Unexpected perils await submarine
cables, even in the depths of the
ocean. Though the largest waves in
a storm probably do not appreciably
disturb the water beyond the first
100 fathoms. if, indeed, they go so
far, currents are sometimes strong
enough 20 fray the cable against
some submarine crag, and various
living creatures will do it a mischief,
says the London Telegraph. Among
them fishes have long been suspect
ed, and now the charge has been
proved in cable connecting Sydney
with Nelson. \ defect was detected,
and on examining the piece sharks
tooth was found imbedded in the
sheathing. As that consisted of the
usual thick iron wires and their outer
covering, the aggressor must have
given a hard bite. The motive is not
easily OWNED. Could the shark have
mistaken the cable in the imperfect
light for new species of conger,
or did it, which seems more likely,
blunder against it at place wnere
il did not touch bottom, and relieve
its temper by a vicious snap?
A swordfish will express its resent
ment against a vessel by driving the
bayonet at the end of its nose into
the planks, and a narwhal will use
its lance of ivory in similar fashion;
each, like the shark, to it's own detri-
ment, for it illustrates the maxim,
Cant you leave it alone:" by losing
the weapon of offense. The conflict
between shark and cable occurred
$50 fathoms below the surface, a
depth which formerly was supposed
to be almost lifeless. But deep-sea
dredging during the last 30 or 40
years told a different story. In the
open ocean living creatures general
ly do not descend below a few hun
dred feet, though they are often
enormously abundant in this upper
layer--the home of the countless
fishes, mollusks, crustacea, and in
many places of crowds of tiny fora
minifera and radiolaria. with cor
responding abundance of seaweeds.
But living creatures follow the
depths. Sponges, at least certain
kinds. go far below the thousand
fathom line. A hydrozoon two yards
long was dredged up by the Challen-
ger from 1900 fathoms, and OCCASION
ally a coral or some near relation
may be found at as great a depth.
A well-known species Of the former
was brought up on a telegraph cable
from more than LOO fathoms, and
DIR. Carpenter obtained a molusk,
generally found in shallow water,
from not much less than $4,000 feet.
Even at depths as low as Mount
Everest is high living creatures have
been obtained, out they are compar-
atively low i'm organization. Still,
fishes have been captured at the low
est depths, in which cases they are
often blind. Even where they have
eyes, those in that region of eternal
night would be useless, if they were
not able TO turn on the light at will
by being provided with phosphores-
cent organs. 1t is. however, unusual
to find a shark so deep as nearly a
couple of Thousand feet from the
surface. Their teeth have. indeed.
been dredged up from profound
depths, imbedded in nodules of man
ganese oxide, but these have dropped
from the jaws of fishes which have
lived and died in the upper waters
and settled quietly down to the bot
tom.

1t has not been many years since a
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 estimated there are 2,27s,0Oo tee
phones in use in the United States
alone. No man attempts to do business
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
hand. Here in Ohio thousands Of farm
ers have the telephone in their homes,
and they find it of immense advantage
in a business and social way, and yet
the telephone is not many years Old

SELL PURE SPICES
ST. PAUL DEALERS HAVE BEEN
STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
MANY SAMPLES EXAMINED
Dairy and Food Department Pleased
With Result of Latest Inves-
tigatiOn-PoOr Samples
From the East.

The state dairy and food department
yesterday completed an analysis of about
100 samples of spices taken up by the
inspectors of the department within the
last three months. Ordinarily there
would be nothing extraordinary in such
an event. But the department was most
pleased with the result of this analysis.
Less than a year ago the department
analysed a similar number of spice sam
pies covering about the same period of
time, and that analysis developed ~.le
fact that of all the samples examined,
about II per cent were adulterated. The
department sent out notices OF warning
to the dealers from whom the samples
were taken. About six months after
that, this latest lot of spice samples was
collected by the department The
analysis proved that the aduIterated
samples constituted less than 4 per cent
of the total number submitted. In addi-
ton to this favorable showing, the de-
partment states that this 4 per cent in
cluded samples taken from the box car
merchants. In the previous lot there
were no box car samples. SO the last
analysis marks an actual gain Of al
most Is per cent. Assistant Commits
sioner Dingman said yesterday:
This result, is, Of course, very crafty
ing to US. 1t proves that our warnings
have been needed and it proves that the
whole desire to do the right thing when
it is pointed out to them. One crafty
ing feature is that these adulterated
samples practically all came from manu-
facturers outside Of the state.
But the department has been sue
cessfuI beyond its anticipations in in
fiuencing outside manufacturers to bring
their goods up to the Minnesota
standard. Our influence extends as far
East as Chicago. Most Of these adul-
terated samples were from far East
ern manufacturers, New York and Bos-
ton. Our local joODers and buyers are
largely responsible for outside manu-
facturers coming around to our terms.
Minnesota merchants, as soon as they
find out that the manufacturers from
whom they buy their goods are not con-
forming to the Minnesota laws refuse TO
trade with them. Thus they are forced
to do the right thing to hold their trade
in Minnesota. The improvement in other
lines is as marked as in the department
of spices. Minnesota is fast winnig an
enviable position for it's efficient pure
food legislation.

SOLVED
SAYS VAN ROLF ABUSED TRUST
Alleged He Was in Secret Compact
With Northwestern ImprOvement
Company From Which Large
Tract Was bought.

c, A. Kaye w. H. Schoonmaker and
others, composing a corporation organ
lied for the purpose of dealing in
North Dakota settlers lands, yesterday
began a suit in the district court against
Tn. Won Rolf, to secure an accounting
and have the company dissolved
The plaintiffs, with the defendants, a
year ago organized a stock company
and put up about $4,000 which they APP
piled as part payment on 19l, 534 .01 acres
of North Dakota land, purchased from
the Northwestern Improvement company.
The whole thing represented an invest
ment of nearly 100000, but the pay
mentS We're spread over term of years.
van Rolf, who had So, 500 worth Of
stock IN the company, was intrusted with
the selling of the land, being made
agent, but, according to the allegations
of the remainder of the stockholders,
abused his trust to the extent of enter
western Improvement company, from
whom the land was purchased.
For organizing the company and engi-
neering the sale of the land, the plain
tiffs say, Van Rolf was to receive ST.. 0O0
from the Northwestern Improvement
company This was unknown to the
plaintiffs. He has also. they say, made
a number of sales and has failed to turn
over the money, something like 49, OOG
not being accounted for
When the land was purchased from
the Improvement company the plaintiffs
say,@Von Rolf had the contract made out
in his own name, ignoring the others en-
tirely, and since that time has made
sales and performed other transactions
without their sanction or knowledge.

FIVE TON ROCK FALLS
HUGE STONE TOPPLES OVER WEST
SIDE BLUFFS

With a noise that could be heard for
blocks, a ponderous mass of send rock.
weighing fully five tons, fell from the
West side bluffs. in the vicinity of
Yoerg's brewery, late yesterday after
noon, and crashed into the roadway of
the street below
The street where the rock fell is known
as Ohio street, and at this particular
place is seldom Travelled. Children, how
ever, use it frequently as a playground,
though yesterday, happily. no one was
around. The fall of the mass of stone
was reported at once to the engineer
ing department, and men were immedi-
ately dispatched to the scene to see that
the place was fenced off and the proper
danger signals displayed.
During the brief warm spell, the heat
had a noticeable effect on the sandy
bluffs. and falls of loose sand and dis
integrated stone were frequent Much
of this has been removed, and additional
precautions were taken to blast away
any lodges or projections that looked
dangerous.

LOST JURISDICTION
The Fence Broke Down Under Judi
cial Weight and Changed the
Lnw's Mandate.

Some of the supreme court justices have
m inexhaustible fund of humor, and they
frequently intersperse funny anecdotes
with their solemn deliberations, once they
ire inside the sacred domain Of their pri-
yate session chambers, affirms the Washing
ton Star. Justice Brewer is one OF the most
lninitable story ~tellers among them, and
| e.t4l one the other day that amused his
colleagues immensely. Out in Indiana, he
said, there was a justice of the peace who
owned a farm. One line of his fence formed
the boundary of the states of Indiana and
Ohio. Like others in rural districts who
hold that Office he had an abnormal appre.
cation Of the responsibility of the office,
md never lost an opportunity to exercise
his prerogative of demanding that the peace
be preserved. One day his son and his hired
man got to fighting on a stretch of the farm
near the boundary line fence, and the justice
Of the peace rushed out and mounted the
fence. Then, with head cooked high and
the air OF one who has but to command, he
shouted: "In the name OF the state of In
diana, | demand the preservation Of the
~peacel" Just then the fence gave way un.
der his weight, and as he went down with
the fence topping over to the Ohio side he
shouted to his son: "Give him the mis-
chief. Jim: I've lost my jurisdiction"
