professor after ne had convinced hts guests Of
the possibilities of chemistry in this direction
and many Of these substitutes are for the most

market IS to-day flooded with these substitutes
and even though they may be not Injurious they
should be properly marked as substitutes 50

NOT ENOUGH AMBULANCEs.

Brooklyn is not adequately provided with
emergency service There again is exhibited the
lack Of system in placing hospitals. The public
Kings County Hospital is expected TO cover
Coney Island, five miles away. in the winter
time, when the public emergency hospital at
the resort is closed. Its ambulances are some
times out six hours on one case The Norwegian
Hospital Is also expected TO cover from 23d-st.

Stores the Morse Iron Works etc The ambu-
lance service of the Long Island College Hos
pital, a private institution, is insufficient 10
cover its important territory, which includes
north of the Brooklyn Bridge and the Bridge
terminal. Not infrequently the ambulance of
the Brooklyn City Hospital is needed in the
sphere of its neighbor.
The majority of the Brooklyn hospitals have
only one ambulance apiece. and there is hardly
day when is not out of commission be-
/ cause Of some accident. The weakness of an
ambulance system dependent largely upon pri-
vate hospitals, especially in rapidly growing
funds. is illustrated in the case Of one Brooklyn
institution which had only horse for its am
bulance. Fairs were held and collections made
for the purpose OF obtaining another one AT
last this hospital, efficient in its service other
wise was enabled amid great rejoicing to get
the animal. which meant a really continuous
ambulance service.
The condition to which portions Of the Brook
lyn service are subjected is illustrated by an
incident that has a humorous side.
The telephone bell in the Kings County Hos
pital rang night about 1 o'clock. A voice at

and iniuring the driver. Turning the driver

sergeant where the case was.
"Oh, why, he's all right now" replied the Of

The sergeant had had experience with persons
who had appeared TO be drunk and afterward
had died from other causes than alcoholism. In
some cases they had not been drinking at all.
In this instance the man had acted queerly. and
he had decided not 70 risk making mistake.

Three Kind. Of lightning.

there We're three kinds of lightning
one incapable of doing any injury, an
other more mlschievous in its character
and consequently only to be issued with
the consent Of quorum Of twelve
gods, and third carrying mischief in
Its train and for which regular de-
cree was required from the highest d.
whites in the Etruscan skies. Curl
ously enough, modern scientific men
agree with the view that there are
three kinds of lightning, but their vari-
cites differ from the Etruscans. The
first is known as forked lightning aud
runs in zigzag lines. the second as sheet
lightning, because it is seen in n body,
and the third as globe lightning, as 1t
sometimes runs in the shape of a ball.
The latter variety is rather slow in
moving.

for the town to have spread out In an
inland direction. The early Corsicans
apparently thought that farm land was
worth more than city real estate and
so crowded their dwellings to the dizzy

first impression is that these houses,

Bear hunting, with the assistance of
guides supplied with well trained
pack of hounds, may be satisfactory if
merely the killing of them is desired,
but 1t certainly is no sport and de-
serves not even to be ranked with trap
ping bears, as in the latter case the
hunter must possess at least some
knowledge of the quarrys habitat and
habits. Unlike a fox, bear, when
once found by the hounds, stands no
chance whatever Of escaping. and
there would be just as much sport in
shooting the animals In park or pen
as to kill n run to bay bear. And,
while this truth applies to mountain
lions also, there is not even the ex-
cuse of the animals destructiveness,
which is applicable us far us the lat
ter is concerned.-Field and Stream.
