STREET CAR TRAFFIC
is AGAIN INSTRUCTED
Company Has Been Unable to Lay
Its Tracks Over the New
River Bridge.

The resumption of street car traffic over
the new Washington-street bridge was
again delayed, and patrons of the West
Washington-street line must walk for a
few days longer, although it was expected
that cars would cross the bridge by yes
terday afternoon. The bitter cold weather
made 1t impossible TO rush the work on the
bridge as would have been done under more
favorable weather conditions, as ii made
the work not only unpleasant but perilous
With the continuance of cold weather it
may be several days before the track is in
condition TO allow cars to cross the bridge.
An additional cause of delay was an ac-
cident to certain machinery that made 1t
impossible for the BroWn-Ketcham Com
pany. the bridge contractors, to complete
the riveting of the ties upon the steel
beams of the bridge.

SHOULDERS NOT ALIKE,
Tni1Ors often Called Upon to Cover
Defect of Nature Due to CurvR-
ture of Spine.

1t may be some satisfaction to the
average man who gets misfit to know
that at least one of his own shoulders
was partially to blame He is the one
man of thousand If it is not SO.
Not one man in a thousand has two
shoulders which measure the same in
height" says Frank A. Rose, according
to the New York Herald. "The varia-
tion to be noted by the tailor is from
the minimum of an eighth of an inch
to the maximum of four inches. There
are a good many men who have one
shoulder fully four inches out Of line
with the other. With the ordinary man
it is the right shoulder which slumps,
but it is all dependent upon whether
he be right or left handed II right
handed it is the right shoulder that is
out of line; If he is left handed it is tho
left shoulder.
The physician will tell you that spinal
curvature is responsible for the varia-
tion. l have never heard just what he
thinks causes the curvature, it has
seemed to me it might he using one hand
more than the other"
With one shoulder a fraction of an
inch lower than the other. the tailor's
art may cover up the deft if the man be
sensitive to it. But as rule. the man
passes over the fact without comment,
satisfied ii the garment only lies snugly

ALL FAT MEN NOT LAZY.
Many Have Been Very Active nnd In.
dustriOus In the Line of
Literature.

Eat is not an indication of laziness," /"
said William Bailey, of the government
printing office, who is one of the fattest
and squarest men in the employ of Un-
Gle Sam, reports the Washington Star.
Il am not putting myself in the list of
'peart' and 'brainy' fat men, but If one
will take the trouble to look about him
he will find good many heavyweights
who are not poky and slow, and who are
fully up to the average, mentally. Some
of the greatest men the world ever
knew were plump, even to obesity, and
Napoleon was one of these.
"All these fellows with the withered
and parchment look do not possess all
the brain by any manner of means, but
1t is said that the men of letters in an
cient times looked this way because they
were poorly paid and consequently lived
on slim rations.
Il notice there are number OF very
heavyweight literary men of the present
day. and am not disposed to say that
this is simply because they are better
paid and fare more sumptuously every
day.
"Dr. Johnson was fieshy, even to
clumsiness, and SO was his biographical
shadow, Boswell. Balsac was SO stout
that it was a good days exercise to
walk around him; and he was encircled
with bandages, as though he was a
hogshead. Rossini was a regular
Jumbo, and for seven years he never
saw his knee. Lablanche was charged
three fares when he travelled, and Jules
Janin, the prince of critics, had chin and
cheeks which protruded beyond his
whiskers.
"And so a whole list could be given.
Lord Byron and Eugene Sue, the au-
thor of THE Wandering Jew" so dread
ed becoming fat that they took lemon
and vinegar to prevent it, and many fat
people of the present day are taking
something of the kind to prevent too
much flesh"

Life in Liquid Air.

In recent experime nts on bacteria, DR..
Allan Macfayden, director of the Jenner
Institute in London, has found that some
of these microscopic plants will resume
activity after immersion in liquid air
for six months. Evidently life under
conditions of this sort is potential rather
than actual, and exists only in virtue of
the possibility of its revival. Matter
that lives thus while frozen must be, DR..
Macfayden thinks, "in a new and hith-
ertho unobtained third condition." be-
tween life and death, and furnishes US
with an absolutely perfect case Of "sus-
pended animation" 1t is evidently no
longer possible to maintain that the low
temperature of space would have pre-
vented the arrival of living germs with
cosmic dust, which was suggested by
Helmholtz, the great German physicist,
and others, as possible way in which
life may have been introduced on the
earth.-Success.

SHE LIES AMONG MOBILES.
Humble Fruit Seller of Genoa Has a
Grave Among AristOcrats
of Italy.

| The most unique piece in the cem-
etery at Genoa is lfe-size figure of an
old woman who sold fruit and fried
cakes on the streets for 40 years, and
was known to every citizen.
She had no family or friends depend
ent upon her, and for many years be-
fore her death became infatuated with
a determination to be buried among the
aristocracy in the Campo Santo, and
have a monument as fine as those of the
rich people who are buried there.
She saved her money, and employed
the most famous sculptor in Genoa, who
made a striking likeness of the old lady
in the same garb that she wore while
peddling her wares upon the street,
and before her death she had the sat
isfaction of selecting and paying for
one of the most conspicuous places in
the cemetery, where the monument now
stands.
This old woman and Balilla, a boy
who threw the stone that brought on a
war between Austria and Italy are the
two favorite characters among the COM
mon people in Genoa. The latter has a
statue in one of the public squares.
The stone he threw hit an Austrian
soldier, who fired a shot into a crowd
of people. The latter, furious with in
dignation. charged the troops with ev-
cry missile they could seize, and the
rest of the story is told in history.
Balilla is regarded as patriot, all
though he may have meant only mis-
chief
