AN ELECTRIC RUNAWAY.
Worse Than Runaway Horse or Un-
manageable automobile.


A special dispatch from Joliet to
the Chicago Inter Ocean gives an in
teresting account of some Of the wild
pranks played by an electric current
which broke away from its moorings.
According to the dispatch a feed"
wire Of the Joliet electric railway, car
rying q current of 10000 volts, broke
and fell across Western Union Tel
egraph Company's wire and the rail-
road and telegraph company suffered
much damage.
Fire started simultaneously in the
Santa Fe depot at Romeo the Michi-
gan Central depot at Romeo, the Mich
igan Central depot at Spencer, and the
Santa Fe depot IN Joliet.
The main switchboard of the West
ern Union was affected and switch
boards were burned out in several
stations along the lines of the Santa
Fe, Alton, and Michigan Central.
The depot in Joliet was partially
destroyed before the lremen could
check the flames, and the depots ct
Romeo and Spencer. twenty-five miles
apart, were burned to the ground
all from fires started by the great cur
rent turned on to the telegraph wires
by theb roken power line. Electricity
is a very useful servant. but it is more
dangerous than horse when it runs
away.

TaIlest Building on Earth.

A New York dispatch says that the
tallest building on earth is to be erect
ed in lower Broadway if the present
plans are carried out. With five stor-
les below the street level, forty stories
high from the entrance to the top floor,
and surmounted by sixty-foot tower.
the gigantic new building will have a
total height of 615 feet, making 1t over
twice as high as the Flatiron building.
and almost as tall again as the Park
Row building. which at present holds
the record.
This building would extend one full
block on Broadway. and its cost. in
Guiding the site. will reach $4,000 600
The land is said to have been secured.

within one year is promised.

Food That Carries One Along.

It's nice to know of food that not
only tastes delicious but that puts the
snap and go into one and supplies
staying power for the day.
A woman says: II have taken
enough medicine in my time to fur
nish a drug store. but in later and
wiser years have taken none but
have depended. for the health I now
enjoy. on suitable and sustaining
food Of which keep on hand tested
variety, plain but nourishing.
"Of these my main dependence is
Grape-Nuts. especially II have be-
fore me day of unusual effort eth
er mental or physical. In this case
/ fortify myself the first thing in the
morning with about 4 teaspoonfuls
OF Grape-Nuts moistened with cream
and not much else for breakfast and
the amount Of work can then carry
through successfully without fatigue
or exhaustion is a wonder to those
about me and even to myself.
"Grape-Nuts food Is certainly a
wonderful strengthener and Is not a
stimulant. for there Is no reaction aft
erwards. but It is sustaining and
strengthening. rs I have proved by
long experience" Name given by

There's q reason four teaspoonfuls
Of Grape.Nuts and cream will add
more strength and carry one further
than a plateful OF coarse heavy food

delicious. It contains the parts of
the Wheat and Barley grains that
supply the rebuilding parts for Brain

Opals In Hiuh Favor.

In spite of the old-time superstition
there seems to be a grave doubt about
the ill-luck attaching to opals in the
minds of the girls of to-day, for opals
are very much worn. There is hardly
a more beautiful stone than the opal.
and jewellers say that II they continue
to win their way in popular favor they
will become more costly. Hitherto
they have been cheaper than their
beauty led one to expect they would
be. but that was because the super
stition about their ill-luck bringing
powers made people fear to own
them, and thus the demand for them
was comparatively small. An opal
surrounded by smaller brilliants
makes charming setting for ring
The diamonds reflect the rainbow
tints of the opal and the combination
of stones Is one which shows the
beauties of both to best advantage

Why We Are Prosperous.

We are the most prosperous people
in the world because we both produce
and consume more than others. The
little that We sell abroad, about ten
per cent. of our net production, and
the little we purchase abroad. about
six or seven per cent. of our net con-

Trees Inside a Church.

Ross, Hertfordshire, can boast of q
church where two fine elms are grow
ing one on either side of pew occupied
by member named John Kyrle. Mr..
Kyrle was a great lover of trees, and espe-
cially of elms, of which he planted an
avenue near the church. One of the
trees of this avenue was cut down, and it
is supposed that it's offshoots have
grown up inside of the church at each
end of the pew. The parish church at
Kempsey contains chestnut tree which
grows from the tomb of Sir Edward
Wilde. The school children of the VII
lage used to sit in the chancel, and it is
said on one occasion their teacher found
one of them eating a chestnut, and that
he snatched it away and threw it behind
the tomb, where it took root and has
dOurished.

HORSE GOT HIS REVENGE.
By Pretending Friendship Tom Got
4 Good Nip at the Hand Of tho
Man he Hated.

Tom, one Of the team Of horses used

a wise animal. Hour after hour every
day he stands near the city hall await

some person in need of medical at
tention or to bring to the prison some
malefactor. His waits are not te-
dious ones, for his idle time is spent
in munching the cubes of sugar his
driver and other attaches of the prison
and hospital always have for him.
Some time ago he took particular de-
light in showing his dislike for city
hall janitor, who, whenever he passed
the horse, hit him a resounding slap
on the back. Tom tried time and again
to kick his tormentor, but his harness
prevented him. Then the janitor COM
