RUMoRED OF ROYALTY.

Earl Nelson, who is in his eighty
second year, is the only living peer
who was a member of the house of
lords when Queen Victoria came TO the
throne.
King Edwards reign has by no
means brought joy to the heart OF
London trajespeople. A leading trade
paper laments the fact that great
portion of the trousseau of Princess
Margaret of Connaught was purchased
in Paris.
There is something in the soft
round cheek and the direct outlook OF
Princess Margaret's candid eyes that
recalls the early portraits of the great
queen, and there are traits of character
that bear The same stamp, such as
truthfulness, clear insight, earnest
ness of purpose, and last, not least.
Saving common sense"
England's future king, Prince Ed
ward of Wales, now IL years old, pos
sesses a child's habit of saying the I'M
expected thing. When visiting King
Edward, the other day, the king asked
him what ne was studying, ana the
little prince said: "All about Perkin
Warbecll." Asked who Warheck was,
the prince replied: He pretended he
was the son of the king. but he wasn't;
he was the son of respectable parents. )"
There is singular coincidence
about the two English royal princesses
named Louise. They are both the
daughters of British monarchs. they
are of very fair complexion and both
married out of the blood royal. Each
also selected Scottish peers-the dukes
of Argyll and Fife-botn of whom are
as fair-skinned as their wives. Still
further goes the coincidence, for
neither of THE royal duchesses has pre-
sented her husband with a male heir.

none excelling it. 1t was the property
of the grand duke of Leuchtenberg. the
cars first cousin, and remained in the
dukes gallery many years. NJ. Laurie,
a Paris dealer, offered it to King Ed

MUST HAVE DAILY SHOCK.
Victims of the Electricity Habit Are
Becoming Quite Common
in Gotham.

New York.-"Of all the habits, the
one that sticks closest to fellow is the
electricity habit" said young doctor.
"The drink habit and the cocaine habit
are mere summer fancies compared with
it. But there is one thing TO be SAID
in its favor; it is usually beneficial. The
electricity habit is contracted just like
any other habit. A few currents are ad-
ministered during an illness, they
strengthen and stimulate, and the first,
thing the patient knows he finds the
tonic Indispensable. Even after he gets
we'll he Graves the treatment
Il know one young woman who makes
a fair living by calling at the homes
of electricity victims and dosing them
with few shocks from a galvanic bat
terry Most slaves to the habit have
their own batteries, but they are afraid
to apply the treatment to themselves.
That is practically groundless fear,
for there isn't one chance in thousand
Of person giving himself an overdose.
Still, they prefer an experienced hand
to manage the current.
Not all the electricity flends are in
valids by any means. Many of them
are now as well as they ever were. yet
they have become so addicted to the
habit that they require the weekly,
semiweekly or possibly daily electric
thrills to tone them UP"

SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Prof. Reickenbach is said to have
proven that 80 persons in 100 can see,
in the dark, colored rays from the
human body and flashes from a mag
net
The flicker sometimes noticed in
lightning proves to be due to the fact
that several flashes-sometime five or
six-follow one path too rapidly to be
separated by the eye. The trails shown
in photography of very bright flashes
are caused by incandescence produced
in the air for a very brief period.
A new product of the electric fur
mace has been introduced in France
under the designation calstonite. It
is a double carbide of barium and cal
cium. produced by M J. Cartier, an
observation-disclosures of Mancioux, which
decomposes on contact with water, like
calcium carbide.
A stereoscopic star chart is the sue
cessful novelty of T. E. Heath, the Eng
lish astronomer. The sta a. in a given
section of the heavens are drawn from
two points of view that are sup
posed to be &c years apart, and UNI
der a large stereoscope the double
view gives a rough but very instructive
impression of the stars floating in
space at an approximation to their
relative distances, instead of as points
against the dark background of the
sky. The result is most interest
ing one.
Electric waves and sensitive re-
ceivers offer a means of performing
a variety of operations at a distance.
Prof E. D. Brandy has been trying to
attain such results, and has shown the
Paris academy an apparatus by which
he can start an electric motor, cause
incandescent lamps to glow. and cause
an explosion. These effects may be
produced or discontinued in any de-
sired order. one after another. They
were chosen arbitrarily for experiment,
and it is possible to bring about at a
distance other mechanical action or Sc
ries of actions, or to work compli-

 Why Is It that a policeman of medi- um build can handle frequently two and sometimes three men his size in a dght? An officer on the local force was discussing the question. 'Tll tell you why it ls." he said, Tt Is simply be- cauSy the policeman is In uniform. The uniform denotes authority, and that takes the nerve out of his opponents Co a certain extent. They know that they are breaking the law by resisting him. while he might even kill them and not commit crime. All through a fight with a policeman the other fellow or fellows are thinking of escape. The officer isI't Hes thinking of subdulng and arrcstIng the man or men. He puts his whole effort and strength Into lt while his opponents generally fight In a half hearted way.
