Passenger Car Ventilation.

undertaking and ill-ventilation OF railway
cars? 1t is strange that the abuse has been
SO long tolerated The Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company, according to DR.. Charles B.
Dudley of Altoona, Pa, has grappled with
the problem, and if there is not satisfaction
on the part of the travellers in the future,
it will be their own fault, either in not
complaining to the officers in charge of the
Installed ventilating devices, or to the high
er officers of companies who have been
negligent of the health Of their patrons.
The system of the Pennsylvania company
consists in taking air from the outside in
through hoods covered with wire gauze to
exclude coarse cinders, situated at diagon-
ally opposite corners of the car, on what
Is known as the lower deck, near the top
of the car. Thence the air passes through
a vertical down-take through the floor to
a space underneath the floor, which is
bounded by the outside sill, the floor, the
first intermediate sill, and the false bottom
This space underneath the floor reaches the
whole length of the car. From this space
the air passes up through the floor by
means of slots in the floor, into the heater
boxes, where the air is warmed by the ra-
diators. From the heater boxes the air
passes out through proper tubular aper-
ture, situated underneath each seat, into
the main aisle, from which point 1t dis
tributes itself throughout the car, and
finally passes out OF the car through ven
tilators situated along the center line of
the upper deck, which ventilators are SO
arranged that when the car Is in motion,
or the wind blows across the top of the car,
they produce a suction on the car, helping
to exhaust the foul air. The amount Of
air taken through the car by the system
when all the ventilators are open Is about
GOO0O cubic feet per hour, or approx
mately 1000 cubic feet of fresh air per
passenger. A passenger coach embraces
about 1900 cubic feet of space, so that the
air in the car Is changed fifteen times an

TREES PLANTED AT NIGHT.

More Likely to Live Than If Trans
planted in the Daytime.
From the Philadelphia Record
1t was long since observed that budding
trees, when transplanted in the evening and
Immediately and copiously watered, were
much more likely to thrive than those that
had been moved In the day But this
knowledge did not lead to any well-defned
theory on the subject until the experiments
of NJ. Rene Rounault, French expert,
proved beyond doubt that distinctly ben
eficial results could be gained by trans
planting wholly at night
Being called upon to transplant a large
tract toward the end of May, 1903. M. Rou-
nault determined to work at night, and in
order to be sure that he made no mistake he
transplanted a Holland linden, which had
been in his own nursery for five years, at
10 o'clock at night. He carefully watered
the tree, and the branches which bore buds
were freely moistened. The linden did not
appear to suffer from this transplanting,
and continued to grow normally, without
showing any signs of weakness. Encour-
aged by this success, NJ. Rounaut perform
ed the work of transportation entirely In
the night time. The results were excellent,
only two trees dying, though the choice of
the species was extremely wide, contain
ing many which do not readily submit to
the process of transportation.
With reference to the precautions to be
observed, it should be stated that trees
should not be transplanted while their buds
are too tender. and that the work should
be done between 10 o'clock pm. and
o'clock am. 1t is desirable that the roots
should be covered with earth which has for
several days been exposed to the effects of
air and light. This should be settled by CO.
pious watering, which forces the earth be-
tween the roots. and not by pressure with
the feet For the first fifteen days after
transplanting the boughs and leaves of the
trees should be abundantly sprinkled.

revenge. He did it by pouring into the ears
of the jealous husband of the young woman
suspicious to her fidelity. Othello-like
the husband was led to believe the lies. He
upbraided his innocent wife for her alleged
misconduct, and despite her protests of in
nocence, sent her home to her mother tell
ing her to remain away from him until he
had found positive proofs of her innocence.
The injured wife, finding that she had been
traduced by the ex-confectioner, bought
some vitriol at a chemists and flung ii IN
the face of the calumn;ator as he was walk
ing along the Rue d'Allemagne. The ex-
sonfectioner thought that he was blinded
for life. but this was by no means the case.
The chemist who was applied to for the
vitriOl, suspecting an act OF vengeance,
gave the young woman a harmless liquid,
and thus prevented the preparation OF Q
crime.

A Very Hard Luck Story.

From the Beloit tKan.) Gazette.
Here is a remarkable story of continued
hard luck in the case of r. D. Dukes, a
farmer Within a short space of time
lot of things happened to him. He lost
his crops, cholera killed most of his hogs,
shed fell and killed his two cows, his
wife was thrown from buggy and hurt
SO badly that she went on crutches for
months and she was just beginning to
walk again when she was burned to
death by an exploding lamp; Mr.. Dukes
also was seriously burned in the fire; then
he injured his knee and had to go on
crutches; then he was badly burned again
in a prairie fire; few weeks later his
mother died, and last Sunday his house
burned up, with all its contents.

Has a Hard Time Resigning.
From the Kansas City Journal.

Postmaster Hendrix of the little town
of Columbia is having hard time to re-
sign from office. He can't find any one
who wants the office, and he has proved
so obliging with his townsmen that they
have no complaint, and, against his
wishes, have petitioned his retention In
office by President Roosevelt. Mr. Hen
dirk is a cousin of Representative Hendrix
of New York and Bishop Hendrix of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. For
nearly eight years he has held the posi-
ton of postmaster but now he wishes to
retire from business and does not wish to
be compelled to leave the government
business IN the hands of clerks.

here to-day gave out the text of a
lengthy cable message from Toxic dcfin-
.ing Japans attitude towards tho neu-
l,ality OF China. II says China should
observe strict neutrality, and lays down
the following principles:
first The belliserents are morally
bound to reduce to a minimum the area
OF war. TO this end the war operations
should be geographically limited.
Second. The number of belliserent
powers should be reduced as much as
possible. and the war should be confined
to Japan and Russia in order to prevent
a general conflagratlon.
Third. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that order be preserved throughout the
Interior of China, and at the treaty
ports Therefore, Japan has instructed
Ter minister at Pekln to urge upon
Prince Ching that China scrupulously
observe neutrality, maintain order and
refrain from furnishing supplies to the
tclligerents. China should also keep
sufficient garriaops at Shan-Hai-Kwan.
