a Prompt Man.

A certain merchant in Boston is
noted for being stickler in the mat
ter of promptness to the extent that
lie has been known to walk out Of
church because the services did not be-
gin promptly, and to leave his sister
alone in a strange city because she
was four minutes late in keeping an
engagement. Not long ago he over
heard a forceful exposition Of his
popularity.
He had walked out Of his stable, and
was about to go in when he heard the
new groom within say to the coach
man: us it true. Dolan, that the boss
is cracked about doing things on time,
and goes into a lit when anybody is
late?"
'.Thrue? Thrue?' cried Dolan. "Let
me tell you. Ryan. how thrue it is.
If the boss had promised to mate him
self at iliven o'clock and was late.
he'd find himself gone when he got
there. That's how thrue it is."-Inde-

Trolley lines may soon carry freight
in New Jersey. Whether the law will
bring to the rural communities all the
advantages they anticipate remains
to be proven by experience. There is
force in the argument, however, re
marks the Philadelphia Record, that
the freight carrying privilege will
cause the extension of trolley lines in
to regions from which it would be inn
possible to derive living profits out Of
passenger traffic alone; and the time
may be near when there will be a sid
dng connecting every dairy and truck
farm in the Etate with freight troll
ley line, and when to live on a farm
will not mean Punishment to mar
rowly iircumscribed circle Of human
society

Rambling Trains Mar worship.

Noisy freight trains which rumble
through Burlington on Sundays have
so married and interrupted worship in
five churches on Broad street, that
movement to put stop to the nui-
sance has been joined by all. The
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad
run along Broad street, and sometimes
on Sundays it is impossible to hear
what is being said in the pulpit OF tell
what the choir is singing. The annoy
ance became so great that Rev. i. M.
Eastwood, of the First Baptist Church,
and Rev. Percy Perinchief, of the
Union M. e. Church, sought relief
from the railroad officials, but, while
action was promised. nothing has been
done. Now the movement has received
new force and is likely to result in ac-
ton at an early day. The law to pre-
vent the running of freight trains on
Sunday may be invoked to end the
annoyance to worshipers.

confirmation to secure name more in

Pretty Hard to Utilize Elephants in
Generating Electricity.


Generating Electricity.
A correspondent in India has sent
IS copy of the following inquiry that
las been received from native pub.
ic works department.: 1--WE have a
number of elephants in the State. I
propose to utilize them in working
iynamos for six hours every day and
generating electricity, to store it in
batteries and use it at night for light.
ng streets. l shall feel obliged if you
will please give me the information
required in the statement accompany
ng: l. How many electrical units will
an elephant Of ordinary strength,
working six hours, produce? 2. Cost
d dynamos required. 8. Cost OF gear
required to work it by elephants. A.
Cost Of battery to store the electri-
city"
The mechanical equivalent Of the
power Of an elephant is probably
known in India, but we have not been
able to find it in textbooks published
here. Probably, as compared with
that of horse, it varies as their re.
spective weights. A central station
containing score of elephants walk
ing round like mill horses, or climbing
ramps that slipped away under their
feet, would be rather painful spec
tacle. Apart from this, however, we
see no way in which the enterprising
department in question could utilize
the source of power at their disposal.
We do not suppose elephants could be
trained to raise water in their trunks
and squirt it on a Pelton wheel; and
as we have no means Of calculating
lie force Of jet of this kind, we are.
not able to recommend this MEANS
