5000 Incandescent Lamps.

Washington, May 24.-Three thou
sand incandescent electric lamps will
soon be placed in the dome of the

dome of the congressional library, far
famed for it's great brilliancy.
The lights are being arranged in
four rows around the dome. The first
row will light the large fresco painting
at the top. The other rows will be at
different distances and so arranged
that they cannot be seen, only the
light effect being noticeable. Lights

Honorable Solomon Luna, our mem

!. Trolley Line
Z; ~ ssss II / /

A submarine trolley line for con
veying passengers across the English
channel may be constructed for the
utilization of a patent owned by AL
bert Krimmert Of New York, says
Popular Mechanics. The device is
the invention Of Karl Leps, German
engineer. Mr.. Krimmert is making
vigorous propaganda for his plan
Of connecting Dover and Calais by
means of this unique submarine boat
line. He declares that the new inven-
tion would do away with the present
numerous Inconvenience and even
dangers Of a packet boat passage
across the channel, the seasickness,
the frequent Interruptions of traffic
by storm and fog and the risk Of col
lisions.
This submarine trolley boat is
made of strong steel plates and is $50
feet long. At both ends are observa-
ton windows with strong glass lenses.
1t contains three electric motors of 500
horse power each for the running of
the propeller or propellers, and two
motors of so horse power each for
running the cable wheels. On each
side Of the boat there are four
grooyed wheels with safety ratchets
and holders, over which the guide
cables are to run. The cables are to
be either stretched from Dover to
Calais, somewhat like the trolley
wires of an electric street car line.
or are to rest upon the bottom Of the
sea, to be raised only as one of the
boats running at certain depth be-
low the surface passes on its way
from terminus to terminus. The sta
tions are to be provided with u
shaped tracks, with the lower part of
the U above the water line and the
two arms extending obliQuely under
meath the water. Upon the arrival of
boat 1t is to be drawn up out of
the water on one side Of the U and
unloaded when it has reached the
turn of the U track. The inventor
also considers 1t feasible to make the
guide cable power cable by making
1t endless and running it over rotat-
ing drums at either end Of the line.
BY that arrangement he thinks the
speed Of the boats could be greatly
Mr.. Krimmert estimates
thai the establishment Of such a line
between Dover and Calais would not
cost more than $4,000 900 and the
profits, he says, would be enormous.

Men Are In the Majority.

Taking it "by and large" the male
sex is in the majority in our country
by some 1.63s,321, according to a re-
cent census bulletin. In some of the
states. however, the women exceed
the men in number, notably in the Dis
trict of Columbia, Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island.
Usually men are in excess in sparse
ly settled communities, and women in
thickly populated regions; cities. for
example, as rule. have more females
than males. In the later years of life,
the women exceed the men, which
seems to indicate that they are longer
lived. In the period from sixteen to
twenty-five years of age, also the re-
ports show them to be in excess.
Not being able to give physical
reason for this, Prof. w. F. Wilcox of
Cornell university, who discusses
these statistics on behalf of the cen
sus bureau, suggests that it is due to
the unwillingness Of many women who
have passed this period to confess the
fact to the census-taker.
