Ex-GOVERNOR'S STORY.
Brooklyn Commissioner Repeats Tale Which Was Told Him by For
 mer Wisconsin Executive

Ex-Goy Hard of Wisconsin, who va, trail of good stories which. if the mem ory of Commissioner kracke holds out. bid fair to keep the editors supplied for months to come. Here is one of them from the Brooklyn Eagle:
 The governor was sitting in the ex- ecutiye chamber al Madison when an attendant brought in the name of Gus tav Apfelbaum.
 Show him right in.' said the gov ernor. rising to meet the caller.
 As Gustav dubiously entered the room the governor grasped his hand and heartily welcomed him.
 'Und you know me all right" said Gustav
 Know you? Of course I do. Why not?"
 We'll, I fought you wouldn't forget me. but der boys all said dot now you vas governor und l vos nobotty you wouldn't know me
 Why. Gus" said the governor. how could I forget you? Weren't we mem bers of the same regiment all through the civil war?'
 ''Yes, dots so. und I nefer will forget you governor; but you are somebotty und am nobotty now. you see"
 To impress Gustav with the excellence of his memory of him the governor re- called several experiences they had had in the old war days together.
 "Ach," exclaimed the delighted caller. Der boys said you wouldn't remember me, und you remember some t'ings dot I mineself have forgotten. But do you remember der night ven ve slept to. gedder on der ground init only von blan- ket between us?"
 "Yes, remember it very we'll Gus. "
 "Und do you remember dot you got all der blanket before morning."
 The governor laughed heartily anA asked Gustav if he had told the boys about that.
 No. sir. I nefer tell nobotty about dot If l tell dem dot dey will al! van. to sleep nit me.

Gasoline Railroad Cars.

The Union Pacific railroad has built at its Omaha shops a passenger car for the accommodation traffic at Portland. Ore It has seats for 25 people is mounted on 4R-inch wheels lighted by acetylene which also furnishes the head light and is driven by a gasoline motor. A speed of about 40 miles all hour is expected Compressed air k used for starting the car, handling the brakes. opening and shutting the doors and lowering and raising the steps from the drivers station. If this is as sue cessful as anticipated. other railroads will follow the example. and probably on all of the roads we shall soon have a frequent service of single ears. each of which is propelled by gasoline. and which can be done more cheaply than by running the ordinary loco.

The bosom pin won't bring heaftaehe and misery to the woman and all them she loves The handkerchief won be used to wipe away tears have caused to flow"
 John didn't frame reply. Without doubt he had no frame to fl the sub Jeet, and Alice went on pleasantly. as she took out her portmoney:
 m goin' to spend two dollars al the next fancy store, John. for I do want to succeed, and help pay for our dear llttle home. He knew she wuz a girl of her word, and he said:
 Two dollars of the money you've worked so hard for. Alice spendin' it on women who don't care for you and who wouldn't give you penny if you were starvin'?"
 Yes. sez Alice: "I know what you say Is true. treatin' miscellaneous crowd that don't know or care anything about you seems foolish. But you have always said it wuz necessary to your blzness. And if you have found it prof ltabie to spend for the last three years enough money to finish payin' for our nome Ill bar room Urea m. it surely would be good thing for me to spend lew dollars in treatin' to good. helpful articles. For my treatin' you know. iS as luf above yours as Heaven is above earth For. instead of bringin sorrow and crime, they will bring litle gleams of comfort. for all women love pretty things, and those were very pretty and useful, for the price. -
 Agin John tried to frame a reply. bui agin the frame didn't seem to fit, and h. walked on silently. seemingly lost iu deep thought. But they wuz fast ap- proachin' the second fancy store. and finally John stopped and faced Alice. and sez:
 Look here, Alice. if you think don't know what you've done this fur. you take me fur bigger fool than am. but you have made me look at this in different I l will agree to stop treatin if you will
 All right sez Alice We will try for awhile to git along without treatin' but if either of us commences agin, the other will Is this bargain?"
 John hesitated but whilst he wuz ponderin she agin took out her purse and stopped before the doorway of the attractive and crowded store, and John hastily said.
 Yes. Alice, agree to it."
 And they both stopped treatin' from that very day. Their pretty home is paid for. and they have money at inter est. For John himse.t WIZ astonished to see the sum of money he saved the first year, he didn't iealize what he wuz doin'. And lots or others don't.

 The detective who figures in the pic ture is meant, ia. say. d fashionable hotel. to be standing. presumably. at tentiyely examining a picture that is hanging on tn wall. In reality. he is keeping a wat on a party of people grouped behind aim, and who are quite unaware that he is observing them.
 For the purpose of clearer pictorial explanation. the two separate portions of each glass have been entrusted by having the lower or mirror portion shaded. As matter of fact. such glasses. when in actual use appear much like these of any ordinary spec taeles.
 In the upper portion of the picture little presentations of human figures on the looking-glass portions of the spectacles indicate the reflections as they are revealed. A favorite device with watchers using these glasses is to pretend to read a newspaper.

Electric Flows in Italy.

Under the direction of the Italian Electrotechnieai society the experiment. of blowing by electric power was re- gently made successfully near Turin Two power cars. each furnishing 25 horsepower, were stationed one on each side Of the field. The blow is drawn to and fro by means of cables. and runs backward or forward equally we'll Three men are required to manage the apparatus. one accompanying the blow and one attending to each Of the power cars. It was found that from seven to 15 acres could be plowed In l2 hours. The electric current used is taken from a trolley lins.

TESTING ANIMAL STRENGTH
Two Elephants of a Big Show Break Pushing Record-Work of Pair
 of CaInels

Two Of the elephants of one of the bis shows broke the pushing record on April I6. Last year the same ele- plants pushed big circus wagon con. taining % men until the rope. fas- tened to it's axle and connected with a steel spring, sent the indicator on the test gauge up to 6,500 pounds.
 This year the same animals pushed until the gauge showed s.2o0 pounds The wagon weighed 4,500 pounds. and 1t was estimated that il required a force of 1200 pounds to move it. One elephant alone scored 7,200 pounds, and in pushing and pulling 5000 pounds Seventy-five men pulled 5000 pounds. and four horses pulling sent the gauge up to 5000 pounds on both the long and the short pull. Two camels were able to pull only 1000 pounds
 The following interesting table shows the results of last years tests compared with those Of this year:

axles and small pulleys on the power
 shaft These pulleys reyolve around
 the periphery of the disks, each of the
 two setting against different one of the disks. In this way the full power is obtain ed and another desideratum is that the most efficient transmission is at the low speed of the wheel with out the friction or the slipping that was found in the old type The driving shaft is universally jointed and can readily be changed from one speed to the other, reversed or thrown out of touch. No differential is therefore nee- essary, and the power obtained is quite equal to that of the gear method In one test the disks were 19 inches in diameter and the driving pulleys six inches, with the one and one-eighth- inch face. With these a speed diminu- tion was made from eight to one with the greatest readiness. and the efficiency was ST per cent, where before 84 f was obtained by the usual sliding gear.

NETWORK PHYSICIANS CLAIM TO
HAVE DISCOVERED REMEDY
FOR THE DISEASE.
ALSO RENDERS PATIENTS IMMUNE
JUICES OF VEGETABLES TAKEN
AFTER MEALS WITH RENE-
FiCIAL RESULTS.

New York, Aug. 26.-Physicians of
this city are much interested in
circular issued by the New York post
graduate hospital announcing the dis
covery of a new cure for consump-
ton. The new remedy is the juice of
raw table neutrality-suspicious. beets,
carrots, onions, celery and the like,
procured by grinding and squeezing,
a dose being two ounces after meals.
The statement is made that eleven
patients with we'll developed pull
monary tuberculosis have been abso-
lutely cured and are now good SUBJ
jects for life insurance risks. Fifty
other patients are still under treat
ment and are said to be progressing
satisfactorily.
In addition to applying the raw
vegetable juice as cure for the most
obstinate case of consumption the
hospitals circular announces that lit
is believed, moreover, that this may
lead to a means by which everybody
may be rendered immune from the
deadly tubercle bacilli, just as vac
cination safeguards from smallpox"
1t is stated that the experiments
were begun on a small scale, with
only few vegetables ground by hand.
Later machinery was introduced and
nearly every vegetable used as food
employed. e..
Accompanying the circular are the
name of two New York physicians,
who, it is stated, were appointed by
the hospital authorities to observe and
report on the experiments, and they
speak in most sanguine terms Of what
has been accomplished and what will
doubtless follow as the work proceeds.
