oAUzE TO RESIST SHOCK.
English Professor Invents Wire Net
ting Which Electricity Finds
Impossible to Pierce.

So many accidents have happened to
men engaged in electric works from
the effect Of a current passing through
the body that those whose business
leads them to handle this wonderful
factor will be glad to hear that the
costume invented by Prof. Nicholas
Artemief, Of London, has proved
perfect safeguard. The wire gauze of
which the costume is made being
better conductor than the human body.
the wearer is thoroughly protected.
while the material Is 50 fine and sup
pie that no inconvenience is caused to
the wearer. One of the difficulties
hitherto encountered in dealing with
electricity has been the impossibility
OF gauging at what strength a current
becomes dangerous. There have been.
cases in which an alternating current
Of only 100 volts has killed, while.
again, 500 volts have been endured
without danger Prof Artemieff's in
vention, however, makes everything
safe, for, during his illustrating ex-
periments he allowed 10000 volts to
pass round him without being injured
in the least. The costume, which in
cludes a head covering. can be worn
either under or over the usual suit. as
no inconvenience is felt by its being
next to the skin when the current is
turned on.

EACH GAINS OTHERS TRAITS
Husband and Wife After Long Mar
ried Life Begin to Show
Facial Resemblance.

1t Is a matter OF common knowledge
that when a husband and wife have
lived together for a long period they
not only acquire the same tricks OF
voice and manner, but they show a
strong facial resemblance, so that they
might easily be taken for brother and
sister. Almost every one has at least
one such instance among his acquaint-
ances. But 1t is perhaps a less well
known fact that similar resemblance
often results from a mistress and serv-
ant being associated together for a
long period Of years. Added to the tact
Of constant nearness there is usually
on the part Of the servant a desire to
initiate the voice and manner OF the
mistress she so much admires. And
this often extends to the facial re-
semblance. There are in a small pro-
vinclal town of New England two
most unusual instances Of this resem-
blance. Two maiden ladies lived there.
each OF whom has been attended for
the greater part OF 80 years by a
woman who Is more a companion than
a servant In both cases the women
have become so aston.shingly like their
mistresses that they are often mis-
taken for them. And their voices over
the telephone are so exactly alike that
the friends Of both ladies' have given
up this means Of communication with
them because Of the embarrassing mis-
takes which constantlyresul from It.

Children's Rights.

Concerning the employment OF chill
dren in factories, sweat-shops and other
laborious occupations, Henry Van Dyke,
writing In Eyerybody's Magazine, says:
I'VE must interpret the laws for the pro-
lection Of the young against cruelty. op-
preston and injustice as evidence OF the
worlds growing sense OF justice. Be-
ginning with the factory act Of 1888 and
the mines and collieries act OF 1s42 in
England. there has been a steadily in
creasing effort to diminish and prevent
the degradation OF the race by the en-
slayement Of childhood to labor. Even
the parents right Of control, says the
modern world, must be held in harmony
with the child's right 10 life and growth,
mental, moral and physical The law
Itself must recognize the injustice Of
dealing with young delinquents as IL
they were old and hardened criminals.
No more herdlng Of children 10 and IL
years old in the common Jail! Juvenile
courts and probation officers. asylums
and reformatories, an intelligent and
systematic effort TO reclaim the young
life tefore Il has fallen into the hopeless
bondage Of crime; this is the spirit of
civilized legislation to-day. In 1903 no
less than ten OF the American states en-
acted special statutes with this end In
view"

DRUGS LIKELY TO ADVANCE
Many Plants That Once Grew Wild
Are Disappearing with March
Of Civilization.

Dealers in American drugs are much
alarmed at the scarcity and high price
Of most Of the vegetable drugs indi-
genous to this country which have de-
veloped during the present year. Many
OF the drugs in chief demand have
advanced from 100 10 300 per cent in
price and the supply Of all is said to be
small. Some of the drugs most af-
fected by these conditions are golden
seal seenga root ginseng wild cherry
bark, white pine bark, elder flowers
sarasaparilla root sassaSras and at
least dozen others of less impor-
tance. Golden seal in particular has
advanced since January from "a cents
to $3.50 and senega root from S2h
cents to $L15. In 1899 senega root
was selling at "a cents. White pine
bark has gone up in two years from
21a to Az cents. The plants from
which these drugs are gathered grow
wild and are said TO be gradually dis
appearing with the march of civillza-
ton and the settlement Of the coun-
try No steps have been taken to safe
guard the supply and the plants are
gradually being exterminated 1t is
feared that this country will soon be
in the same position as Germany and
other countries of Europe as produc-
ers Of vegetable drugs. Formerly Ger
many was a great producer of herbs
and barks, but now these drugs are
gathered chiefly in the wilds of Hun
gary. Drug dealers say the result will
be a heavy advance in the prices OF
many Of the commoner and more pop
uiar medicines.

Causes Of Mortality.

Concerning the evils Of our ciyilIza-
tion some write that inattention to
sanitary rules Of eating and housing
causes vast number Of needless deaths
and inhicts untold suffering on the poor.
Others assert that alcohol Is a fearful
engine Of mortality, and there are ststis-
ticians busted with the destructiveness
Of railways. impure water supplies and
other things which are usually all
ascribed to the heedlessness OF money
getting and money spending. Then
some thoughtless ones. remarks the
Kansas City Star, do some figuring"
as they would believe. and get the
astonishing result that II all that the
writer's declare is true, a good many
more persons die Of these various causes
than ever were born. This paradox
comforts those lei alone, and those who
point the dangers are regarded by them
as bOres If nothing worse. They do
not see that several Of the causes emu
merated may frequently contribute to
the same deaths and that these are
reasonably claimed as the cause by each
special investigator And even IL the
enthusiasts for a better standard OF liy-
ing would seem to obliterate death and
misery by their theories. would II not
be a good thing if those Of us who re-
alize-or think We do--that death and
wretchedness must always be. would
strive with them to make death less i'm
minent and take the fact OF suffering in
the world a little less for granted?
