Automotor Cars.

The International Railway Congress
at its recent meeting in Washington
considered the use OF automotors and
in its resolutions declares that exper-
iments with this class OF vehicles
should be continued.
1t may be expected" the conclu-
sions say, that from now on automo-
bile cars and automotors hauling trail
ers will constitute a valuable means of
transportation which on some lines
will have great future. Owing to the
saving in the number of employees re-
quired, the probable reduction in cost
OF maintenance, the material reduction
in the cost of traction and better util-
ization of rolling stock and the smaller
extent of station installations required
il will be possible materially to reduce
the cost of working lines with little
traffic, and will, in the cases of other
lines, result in a material improve
ment in the working of some classes
of service. Their use will certainly eff
feet change in the system of opera
tion in the case OF great number of
lines and appears to have a real fu
ture before it."

Goth Brushes,

Dr.. s. H. Arnold gives some interest
ing facts and good advice in regard
TO that daily friend, the tooth brush:
Nearly all brushes are made from
bristles taken from the wild hogs of
Russia or China. The handles are
common beef bones. They are made
mostly in Japan. France England and
Germany, and by one firm in the
United States. Probably English
brushes are the best made and worst
shaped. The French are next in quail
ard Japan are generally imitators.
Some Of the most expensive English
and Ffsnch, and all American brushes.
are made in factories under more or
less sanitary conditions. but the cheap
er grades, including all German and
Japanese brushes, are made in the
huts of the peasants, where cattle,
dogs, swine, fowls and humans are
herded in common. The bristles and
bone are given out by the dealer and
taken into the country, where they are
assorted by the aged and young chill
dren and diseased persons, the strong
er members Of the family working at
more remunerative employment
These cheap brushes are often in
the most unsanitary and wretched sur
roundings imagina' ,e, and it is a sig
nificant fact that after being made
they are seldor" sterilized uefore
using.
The English brushes are generally
very much too large to be efficient.
The French ar better shaped, but are
apt TO be toe ong of head, making
much waste to the brush, and are too
long Of bristle.
A wide brush is not advisable be-
cause it limits the movement possibly
| longitudinally 10 the tooth. Long bris-
| lies are not the best, because they
! bend when the brush is thrust back
| between cheek and teeth, and stay
! bent till the brush is withdrawn. thus
| missing the interproximal spaces so
| much in need of cleaning. Soft bris-
| ties become softer when wet. and
| utterly fail 20 enter the spaces at all.
/ IF the surface of the bristles is con.
/ caved longitudinally to fit the labial
curve of the teeth, then when the
| brush is reversed and used on the lin.
quail surfaces, only the ends of the
| brush engage the teeth: hence, more
.eeth are missed than cleaned. and
| the user is deceived into thinking he
| has cleaned his teeth because he has
! brushed them.
Studying the brush over and what is
required of it. it would seem that the
| brush best adapted to use in the hu
man mouth should have a short. mar
row head, with short, rather stiff nris
ties. trimmed straight longitudinally
and convex latitudinally, that each line
Of bristles may come successfully into
use as the brush is rotated.

Mars Pecpled BY Farmers.

Mars is Inhabited - The fact is
proved, according to Prof. Robert W.
Prentiss Of Rutgers College. by the
straight lines on the surface OF the
planet, which, he says. are fertikzed
areas OF land instead OF huge canals.
as heretofore believed by astronomers.
These views, which are the results OF
his scientific researches. he set forth
recently in a stereopticon lecture held
under the auspices of the board of ed
ucation at Fftty-ninIh street and Park
avenue.
He said that nearly the entire sur
face OF the planet Mars was desert
land. and that through the wastes
were many straight lines. which he
believed were strips OF land. cultivated

WHAT HIS EXPERIENCE PROVED.

In the early SIXTIES it was usually the
duty OF practicing physician to ride
many miles every day on his regular

a splendid medical training in one Of the
best medical colleges OF that day was ac-
customed 10 ride ten. twenty or thirty
miles or more visiting the sick and
afflicted. His success was soon phenom-
email. Doctors and families called him for
consultation TO towns at considera ble dis
tances by rail. One Of his specialtcs was
the cure of those distressing diseases of
women. He had early discovered that

DANGER IN PHILIPPINES.
Climatic Popularity Which in Some
Instances Has Caused
Fatalities.

Maj. Woodruff, who was stationed
in the Philippines, tells of the sense
of exhilaration which pervades the
American for a few months after his
arrival in the islands. THE climate
is not so bad, after all, they say, as
they think of their increased muscular
vigor and mental activity. Under these
overdo and become exhausted sooner
than they otherwise would. He refers,
says the New York Tribune, to sew
ereal letters which had been written
by men newly arrived in the Philip
pines, containing glowing accounts of
the climate. They afterward collapsed
and died. This preliminary stimulation
gives a false impression, and leads
many to expose themselves unduly and
advise weak persons who should MOI
DO so to come to the tropics.
Maj. Woodruff adds that it was u
matter of observation that when Of
fcers and soldiers enjoyed their sery-
ice and remained well or improved III
health it was generally found that they
were strongly brunette, while many OF
those who broke down were blends.
Maj. Woodruff does not anticipate
that any dark-skinned race will ever
overtop the blond races in mental ca
pacity and civilization. Developed in
the cold climate OF northwestern Eu-
rope, he considers them the survival
OF the fttest. To their struggle with
the problems OF their habitat he
ascribes a brain development which
cannot be attained by any dark
skinned race living further south. But
unless they heed the warning that they
are out of their sphere in the United
States. take the subject OF lignt lnto
consideration, and study o to pro-
tect themselves from the injurious
b~ombardment of the short ether waves
they will meet the fate of the blonc
race, who, Maj. Woodruff shows, in
vaded Greece in pre-Homeric times
and ave that country its literary, ar
tistic and military reputation. ~
this country, he declares, they wer'
out of their latitude.
