2-Cent Rate for All Lines.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 22.-The Inter-
Ocean today says: Passenger rates on
all roads in the United States will be
reduced to two cents a mile. The
lowering of the price and complete
abolition of the old three-cent rate
will begin on July LIST. This is the de-
cision reached in Chicago by the lead
ing railroad presidents of all the west
ern and transcontinental roads. 1t
was not formal agreement. but it is
equally binding, for two large roads
doing transcontinental business are
said to have served an ultimatum to
others that they would put the rate in
to effect Immediately. They said that
no further fight would be made on the
two-cent laws already passed.

The clause, 1T Suits to a T." mean

T-rule (so-called from it's resemblance
to the letter T), used by mechanics

and for obtaining perpendiculars. The
expression was in common use in the
time of Dr. Johnson, who is quoted by
Boswell as saying of Wharburton,

The habit of pamIe1inG books is a
vice of the age, and we are glad to
find Sir Lauder Brunton, i'll the Ian
Get, writing in way that shows him
to harbor no weakness of that kind.
Sir Lauder has discovered that dust
is often responsible for so-called cold
in the head. Whenever he turned over
the books in his library he found that
cold followed. His remedy is to
sponge the top of book with solu-
ton of carbolic acid before opening it.

Say Women Cooks Are Best.

Some of the most famous diners,

is talked about chefs and half the
money that is paid them, flows from

cases for transportation to Eichwald.
At that place it was eventually rebuilt

slowed the money away in petroleum

diminished it by the interest, which

RATS A HELP TO ENGINEERS.
pcstifcrent Rodents Put to Good
Use at Munich.

To enlist rats In the construction
of telephone systems may sound like
a very unscientifc notion. but we
have 1t on the authority of Neue Err
fndungen und Erfahrungen that this
odd arrangement was put into prac-
tice at Munich and that the familiar
pest has been found valuable as
sistant in this work
To stimulate the rat, however, 1t
was necessary to Introduce his ira
ditional enemy, the ferret. The pro-
cess was simple. The subterranean
tubes for the reception of the cables
having been laid, rat was let loose
at the starting point. Having run q
little way, trained ferret with a
string to his leg was turned In after
him. The tubes ran into manholes at
intervals, and the rat, furtively
glancing back, sees the glaring eyes
of his arch-foe rapidly approaching.
BY the end of the section of the tube
the rat is either overtaken or falls
into the manhole, and another rat Is
requisitioned to run the next block.
At the end of each section the
string Is removed from the ferret's
leg and small rope, which is then
attached to the other end OF the
string, is hauled through. In turn a
heavy cable, consisting of 200 or 800
wires, is attached to the rope and
likewise hauled through the tube
Presumably 1t was necessary to
see that the rat received a liberal
handicap, otherwise his opponent
might catch him prematurely and
dispatch him midway in the tube.
The scheme was pronounced great

Mileage of the Human Blood.

The speed at which the blood cir
culates in the veins and arteries of a
healthy man is something surpris-
ing. All day long, year in and year
oIt, the round trips continue from
the heart TO the extremities and back
again. The red blood corpuscles
travel like boats in a stream, going
TO this or that station for such SER
vice as they have to preform; and
the white corpuscles, the phagocytes,
dart hither and thither like patrol
boats, ready to arrest any contra
band cargo of disease germs.
The mileage of the blood circula-
ton reveals some astounding facts
In our personal history. Thus 1t has
been calculated that, assuming the
heart to beat sixty-nine times a min
ute at ordinary heart pressure, the
blood goes at the rate of two hun
dred and seven yards in the minute,
or seven miles per hour, one hun
drad and sixty-eight miles per day
and six thousand three hundred and
tTenty-four miles per year. If a man
. OF eighty-four years Of age could
have one single blood corpuscle
floating in his blood all his life 1t
would have travelled in that same
time five million one hundred and
Fifty thousand eight hundred and
eight miles.
