Consumption Statistics.

General statements as to the prog ress made in checking the ravages of consumption are always interesting, but it is much better to have specific statistical information upon the sub- ject Vital statistics have been taken in Massachusetts since 1842. In all the years before 1857 the annual death rate from consumption was nearly or quite 4,000 to 100000 inhabitants The rate has declined almost stead fly ever since. It was about 3,20O to 1 ,o9O, ,000 in 1882, less than 2,5O0 in 1892, and less than 1,600 in 1902-the lowest point reached up to that time. Corresponding figures for England show similar decrease. The system of keeping vital statistics has not been general enough to make sure that all the states can present as good a rec ord of progress as Massachusetts, but all the facts that are available are en- eouraging.

GOGGLES FOR CHICKENS.

Among the recent inventions which have been brought out in the name of humanity to our dumb animal or bird friends is pair of goggles to be plac- ed on chickens to prevent them from picking the eyes out of one another. A couple of pugnaciously inclined birds on farm can do lot of harm to the others, and as a protection to damage being sustained to their eyes, it is proposed to equip the members of the 5 flock with the goggles.
 The shape of these protectors is such that by springing them apart and placing them over the head Of the bird they will stay there of their own accord. The frames are fitted with disks of glass or mica.
 These spectacles are designed for very high-bred fowls, and are meant to protect the owner from loss as well as the fowls from hurt. Science sift- ings.

KEGS TO BB MADE OF STEEL

A process of making beer kegs out of old steel rails. Joseph O. Helsop of Joliet, H., the inventor, believes is to make him wealthy.
 In his valise MT. Heslop carries a small model beer keg, made out of polished steel, which he says will within few years do away with the old and cumbersome wooden kegs en- trely. The steel Is only 1-16 of an inch thick and the keg weighs only a few pounds, but its inventor claims that it will stand three times the pres sure that wooden keg will, and that it can be made for one third the price of a wooden keg.
 The keg is made in two pieces, the joint being hidden by the steel band. The bung hole is dramatically sealed by a patent contrivance, which re- qu1res a key to unlock it. The hole Is graduated to fit any size of spigot.
 Any kind of steel is used in it's con- struction, but Heslop is now using old steel halls. The interior of the keg is covered with a pitch preparation used in wooden kegs, to keep the beer from tasting of the metal.

BETTER THAN PARIS.
Is New York, Says One Girl-our
 Funerals Are LiYelier.

Give me America everytime," ex- claimed the girl just home from her first visit abroad. ''Talk about Parisi Why, New York is better and nicer and livelier in every way. Even our funerals are more cheerful than those in Paris. If I had to live there-and nothing could make me do sol would surely never get quarters near grave yard. Why, they have the most doleful funerals you ever saw.
 Tn the first place, there are no car riages for the mourners. They have to foot it to the cemetery, even if it is miles away. They do this out of respect for the dead, so they say.
 ''And as for flowers! Real flowers one never sees at a Paris funeral, no matter how well to do or how high up in society deceased person may have been. They use nothing but painted tin evergreens and blossoms. They have the art of making them down fine, but it makes an American shiyer to think of having his grave covered with a lot of clanking floral tributes.
 Give me good old New York to live in and die in every time.

hELLIN'S PLANS.
President of the Consolidated Looks
 for $ Miles an Hour.

President Mellen is credited with the statement that within 10 years a speed of 75 miles an hour can be made by cars Of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, between New Ha- ven and New York, by means of cleo fricity, and the rapid development of his plans for the utilization of the trolley is believed to forecast the car Tying out of his predi ict1on, according to a special dispatch from New Haven, and local financial men believe sthdt the Acquisition of the independent trolley lines in Hartford, MiddIetown and Danbury is likely to be announced any day-for negotiations to that end are understood to be in progress. Af ter that would come the absorption of the Connecticut Railway & Lighting Co.'S lines, which would mean the ab- Eolute control by the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford of all the trolley Hines in Connecticut.
 The announcement is made authori- Eatively that the next step in the de- TelOpment of the plans of the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford Rail- road Go will be the operation of the Derby branch by electricity and the construction of a power house in New Haven, where high tension current brought from a distance will be re- duced- It is quite probable that the actual source of power will be from some stream in Wfndham county, where under the charter of the new Consolidated Railway Co the New Ha- ven road has peculiar water privileges. The Derby cars will be run by the overhead trolley system rather than by the third rail, as President MeIlen is said to consider the. former prefer able. Under the third rail system the cost of equipment is said to be greater, "a higher voltage is required, and there is more liability of acci- dents
 When the new depot of the New York, New Haven & Hartford is built in New Haven on the lot between the present station and the general office building of the road, it will be a troll ley car as well as a steam train sta ton. It will be possible for passen- gers from New York or Boston to step across the platform into Ia trolley car which will carry them, to their local destination. Cars of the Derby branch when equipped with electricity will run into the new station and through 1t to Chapel street, whence they will run over the present New Haven Derby trolley line back to Derby. It will thus be a loop line. The new station is to cost $1,0OOOOO and the Improvement in the railroad cut will cost another $1,0OO,00O Work on potn will be begun next spring.

GREEN DIAMOND EnIINn

Considerable interest, writes a cor respondent, has been aroused in Johan- nesburg by the discovery on a thinning property at Klerksdorp of a green dia- mond of about three-quarters carat. The gem had slipped into crevice in the iron plates of the crushing mill, and was found during the dismantling of the mill to make room for new stamp battery.
 In 1893 over seventy similarly col ored diamonds were found upon the same property. They had all slipped between the dies and escaped destruc- tion. It is conjectured that many other green stones were crushed out of exist ence. For the first time since that date the Klerksdorp G. and D. Go propose to resume operations on this particular ground, which contains both gold and diamonds, and the prospects of un- earthing more of these green gems are being eagerly watched from the Rand.

THREE DAYS IN A WOLF DEN.

An Olxlahoman named Lawson had an unpleasant experience while visit ing his brother-in-law, Milo Blodgett who lives near Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle. Lawson went wolf hunting alone.
 Next day his horse was found sad dled, but without a bridle Blodgett summoned about thirty neighbors and began searching for Lawson, who was located after nearly a days hunt His feet were sticking from the top of a wolf den and about three feet of dirt rested on his body. Lawson was so fastened that he could not extricate himself. He had dug down in the wolf den about five feet on a slant in a manner something like the entrance to a dugout, then lay down in the trench to reach after some coyote pups. He caught one and threw it out, and it is supposed that this frightened his horse, which was tied to a bunch of bear grass near the hole.
 The horse making a lunge caused the bank to cave, the dirt falling on the prostrate body of the man, cover ing his body and head. Tn dirt caught him with his arms stretched out in front, so he could not use them to much advantage, but he managed to work his hands and shove the dirt down the hole until his head was uu- covered and he could get air firm the top. He lay in this position from o'clock Thursday afternoon till 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Kansas City Journal.

HAS $25,OOO TO
 BET ON CLEVELAND

New York. June 29-If there are any Roosevelt admirers who believe fheir candidate will defeat Grover Cleveland if the latter is nominated for president, they will do we'll to call at the City hall any Tuesday afternoon during a session of the board of alder men. Incidentally they might bring their check books.
 Alderman Jack Mccall is authority for the statement that $25,O0O is avail able for a wager on Cleveland as against Roosevelt at even money. He adds that the same amount will be forthcoming at ? to on the proposi- ton that Cleveland will get the nom- ination. Next to Cleveland, Mayor Mcclellan is favorite inNthe aldermanic betting
 .'I know of several wagers of $1OO and $2OO even on. Cleveland to win if he is nominated,s said MT Mccall. ''And bettors seem to think that ? to 3 is now about the right price on his nomination.
 .'The Cleveland sentiment is remark able, and there is a strong Mcclellan sentiment, too. I know one bet of $25O to $2OO that either Cleveland or Mcclellan will be the nominee. I know of another of $500 to $200 that Parker will not be nominated, and I fancy there is plenty of money at that price to be found around here.
 .This will be a big betting cam paign, particularly if Cleveland or Me Cle1Ian is the nominee. The republi- cans will be surprised to learn that Roosevelt will not be favorite with the big bettors.
 ''You will see if a week before cleo tfon there will not be odds, say $100 to $9O, on Cleveland, or Mcclellan, for it's sure to be one of the two.
 s.As to Hearst, there is no betting. Parkers admirers are not talking with money, either.
