One of tbe most beautiful of the multitudt of experiments to which scientists have been incited by the opening out of new develop ments In Hoentgen ray work ishat de- scribid by Dr. Luys before the Rociotc ce Iliologie in Pat-Is. Dr. Luy ? has long been convinced that actual light ie thitiwu ofl tv human beings , and has at las ; provil his theories by showing tbe pri-nence of lumi nous emanations which surround the human body. In a dark room various subjects placed their fingers for about twenty inln- utcs on .an ordinary photographic plate lying In a bath containing ibt- usual eoluilon of bydroquinone. and after this exposure Ihe negative was developed In the usual way. Not only were Ihe fingers and tbe lines of the skin reproduced , but also tbcir pores , and what is s till more interesting , around the fingers was a sort of zone or halo a th.rd of an Inch wide. Dr. Luys regaids thU as a proof that we live In a luminous fluid , which Is sufficiently defined to enable a photographic print to be made of Itstlf and the fingers , as If under the Influence of ordi nary light. Dr. Luys lies tried tbe fame experiment on patients whose hands were 2-iralyzed. benumbed or Insensible to touch , but iti every such case no image appeared Uf the plate. * * I'LU&GCD METERS. Drwn In Tennessee the courts are trying to settle the vexfd question whether a per son who steals electric current Is guilty o ? larceny , or of mi-rely what Artemus Ward used to call "confwcation. " A learned Judge in Germany has already pronounced lhal only a tl.lng lhat can be handled can be stolen , and a < electricity Is Invisible , It is mani festly out of the list of purlolnable materials. While this decision has not been accepted In this country , the question has yet to be finally determined. The issue of a ease which has occurred at Memphis will , there fore , be Interesting. A local elet-trle light and power company , which supplied current to two saloons , found that its bills were ex tremely slim , while the Illumination of the saloons was always brilliant and their elec tric fans were constantly In use An inspec tion showed that the meters had been so plugged thai only a small proportion of the current passing through them was registered. The company Is inclined to look upon this subterfuge s a piece of robbery , and the rulinc r the courts is being invoked. ELECTRICITY IN PRISON HOSPITALS. The placing of a complete electro-thera- peiillc equipment in tbo hospital of Ibe ttatc r.K.vlutn at Auburn. N. Y. , Is an 'Indication not only of the growing use of electricity in mt-diclnu and surgery , bui also of the fact thai the treatment of patients In prison hccpllals is becoming vastly more enlight ened and humane than lhat known to prevail in many state liibtitutions ten years ago. In : he new outfit at Auburn provision is made for both faradic and galvanic current. The former Is most efficacious In treating rneu- matisin , from which a large proportion of all prisoners are sufTerors. tt Is also turned to accoueit In a way untbought of before U solved an Important problem on the sugar plantations of Demerara. There the field worker consist largely of 'East ' Indian coolits , who have been imported and placed on the estates under government supervision , and under Indenture for a given period ol service. The coolie IE a born malingerer and i * apt to develop peculiar and obscure symptoms when he prefers to be placed on tbo Kick lisi and tent into hospitals to lad ing his turn with the cultivation gang in the hot cano brakes. At one time the htapitalt * wire always full of ailing Asiatics , who had managed to pass the medical inspection. But a powerful faradic machine was imported and : i rule was made that all new patients must bo subjected to 'Us current. Prom the Unit ; the first coolie tried the shock there wai pluty of room In the hospital. The e > ame current is to be u ed at Auburn for dett-cring the convicts who s.mulate In sanity , and It U needless to ay that under such an ordeal the shammers are not to be envied. In many prison hospital ! diseases of the eye are prevalent and often most tedious. It Is expected thai lo such cases Ihe administration of the galvanic current will load to a much less prolonged and more effectho method of treatment than has heretofore - toforo b"eu customary. This current can be applied in extremely small doses , and pro duces excellent results , also In nervous dls- eaces. Provision is made for using the clec- j trie cautery , which is now in many Instances ' superseding the knife and the application of nitrate of silver , and lamp * are supplieJ with tun outfit for the vxamlnaliou of the throat or inn 'inside of Ihe body or the il lumination of an } cavities which II may be desirable to inspect when the existence of abnormal conditions Is suepecled. AMEKICHN ENGINEERING IN LONDON. The most recitit addition to the Bsstcro of underground railway with which London u provided , and the most important of all the present undertakings of a similar charac ter in ths world th Central London rail way ( electric unlerground ) has i pecial Hi. terest for Americans. This is due to the fact that lht > entire system f electrical equip ment will be American. With the excep tion of the elevators the itire electrical contract has bt-eti secured by the British reprnscntalivt-6 of the General Electric cotu- pary. The ruad , laid in two deep subway tunnels , driven by Iho Greatht-ad shield , stretches from Liverpool street. In the heart of Ihe city , through the very center of the great commercial district. wi t under Hal- horn and past Hj de park to Shcjjard'k Diifli. six and one-half mfle . Therr are to be fourteen stations , which will be reached t by elevators , descending betwcin * * venty and eighty feet. Instead of pefiBeuge'-carrylcg motor caro. with the motors mounted on the forward axle , locomotives similar in appearance to used on the Belt line tunnel service of the Baltimore & Ohio will be used to haul the trains. The reaeun of this U that the tunntl IE only eleven aud ire-half feet in diameter. and ' * bouom must accommodate the road bt > d. which reducte the clearance necessary w'ith the motor cars. As the railway comiauy was hampered by no considerations of g.-a4e , a new departure 1ms been made in the ar rangement of the station approaches On each title of each' station is a 3 per cent gradient , rising on the approaching < 5idt > and falling agaiu to UIK level of ihe road on the dtparlmg side. This unique method gives a rrta-dlng tffect to all trains approac'ilng the stations , equivalent to the application of < -on iderable braking power while materi ally aiding in Ibe accelrralion of the trains as they leave the platforms. It aUo gives a saving .n power of about S3 per ceni The schedule ( .peed of the trains will be four teen and uiie-balf milts per hour with stow at each station of twenty scconofi Tnr elec tric tlevator * which will be installed by a Nt Yo 1 i-ompati ) . will be fort ) nine In number Caen will have a capacit ) of IS.OuU pounds , or about 1W pat > CDeeri > per trip. POPULISM LEGISLATURES Promises and Performances in Scren States I j Reviewed , , THINGS DONE AND LEFT UNDONE .Nil I Mnterliillv Ilfleri-iit from l.nn. iinikhm lltiillt" . Ili-nrliiii Other 1'iirjj .Nnint-K TlitI'M II are * Viewed af a whole , the work of the popuy list legislatures wnlcb have been in session this year I * not tnuch worge than that of many other legislatures which do not .bear the populist stamp. The miracles of legisla tion promised from tlie populist stump have cot been performed , and much of the mis chief foreshadowed ID populist platforms has been left undone. Three explanations have been advanced Tor the failure , writes George K. Beam in tlu > New York Independent : One , thai It wag due to bribery ; another that ibr populists were unable satisfactorily to frame the legislation they desired , or rould not reconcile the convicting Interests 1 and the jealousies ; and a third , which IB ihe j | tnosi plausible , ibat the populist leaders , i sobered by responsibility , nud having less i re\erenee than the rank and file for platform ] ' declarations , held their followers in check. While populist measures have come to tbr Iront In a majority of the thirty-five or mure legislatures which have been In session this year , notably In those controlled by the silver democratic allies of tbe populists , this review Is confined lo ihe doings of the distinctively popultstlc lawmakiug bodies In the states of Idaho , Kansas , Montana. Ne braska South Dakota. Washington and South Carolina , the last named being included , as the Tlllinatiites have more In sympathy with the populists than with anv other political organization. Maximum ralltoad freight rate bills , prime favorites with radical populists , ran tbe gauntlet in only one of tbe Icglslalurce Another legislature reduced the freight rate un agricultural proJucte. With these excep tions the restrictive ralltoad enactinenu have In them more of sentiment than of menace , while much of the latter may be softened by the courts. StocKyards escaped with even less Injury than tbe railroad * re ceived ; Insurance Interests , though often threatened , were not seriously Impaired ; the rights , or what the populists would call tli- "prlvllegca. " of the mortgage creditor , were somewhat curtailed , but not to the extent fondly hoped by the popullsl mortgagor : and the imitative and referendum , wllhout which no populist scheme of refotm would be com plete , was given legal sanction In Ne braska alone. RAILROAD REGULATION. Of the anti-railroad contests the liveliest was waged In Kansas. In an attempt to pass a maximum freight rate bill. It found favor in i : the house , but was halted In the senate through , the Influence of conservative popu list , leaders , whoae efforts availed against the combined opposition of the populist press and of the populist governor with his patron age. The bill finally accepted by the house under a fomal : protest cs the most that could be had. gives the railroad commission power to fix ratrs. subject to review by the courts It is not very objectionable to Ihe rail road companies. Even the maximum freight rate law parsed In South Da kota can give little ultimate sat.s- faction to Its s upporter. . Pending a judicial decision as to Its constitutionality it is In operative , and if patted upon favorably can only apply to shipments entirely within the state. Omnibus bills reducing freight and passenger rate . paswd by the Washington house , were rejected by the more prudent senate ; but the latter body subsequently sought to appease populist clamor by agree ing with the house in the pnssace of a bill redut-ing freight rates on agricultural prod ucts. In Nebraska , which already had a maximum freight rate law. antl-rallroud sentiment found further expression in amend ment * to the law placing the burden of proof on the complaining railroad to show that rates or regulations established by the Doard of Transportation are unreasonable , and making the penalty for a violation of an order of the board a fine of from JMXV to J5.000. In addition , the powers of the board as to rates and regulation of railroads were extended to apply to telegraph , telephone and express companies. Another notable piece of legislation wa ? the adoption In c South Carolina statute of the restrictive features of the national interstate commerce act. the purpose being to confine local liti gation over discrimination and the like testate state courts , where sentiment may be ex pected to favor the shipper. HITTING THE STOCKYARDS. In the flock-raising states stockyards stand next to railroads , in popull't estimation , 3s the oppicssors of the poor , and , consequently , their regulation became one of the chcsen missions of the populist lawgivers. Only In no states , however , was the rniealon ac complished , and In one of thf a with pros pective disastrous results to other than the proprietors of stockyards. In Nebraska a re duction in charges was voted , amounting to 20 per cent in yardage and to 50 per cent in the price of grain and hay. and In Kan- ias a law was enacted for state control and regulation , which law is now under a review In the courts. One of its early effects was a diversion of business from Kansas to Mis souri , the legislature of which latter state , although it was tainted pomewhat with popj- lls'n , declined to Join with the Kansans In the raid on the yards. Of legislation aimed at the Insurance com panies there was almcst a total failure. A valued policy law adopted in Washington differs not materially from like enactments elsewhere which ant -ilaie > ihe birth of the populist party ; while the Nebraska statute declaring unlawful po-eallod Insurance com binations on rates Is but a pattern of a bill which parsed one bouse of the Connecticut legislature , whose sessions are held In the Insurance city of Hartford. The most , radical of the insurance measures proposed ' found many friends in Topeka , but not ' enough for their enactment. One of these measures Bought to substitute a legislative I fiat for the life expectancy table and the fire | risk , proposing at the outset a reduction of i one-thitd in fire rates and of one-fourth In I i life rates ; another would have made the state 1 an insurance company , somewhat on the Swiss plan , with premiums uesefsct like taxes ; and a third proposed that all life In surance companies invest one-half of their net premium receipts In the state of Kansas securities , which were to be deposited with the state treasurer and taxed. ANTl-TRl'ST LAWS. Nebraska followed its anti-combination in surance law with a general law against trustb , and Kansas and South Carolina adopted similar statutes. Kach provide * for the forfeiture of the charter of any corpora tion becoming a party to a trust , and dea | i dares void all contracts made in violation j of the act. The law in each of the three states is modeled after the out ) in Georgia , which state had the lead In the current legis- lativr assaults on trusts , because of the i priority of the session of its legislature. | In the line of enactments lamely devised j i to aid the mortgage debtor , but of n nature ] to Injure him In the end , the Washing ! , n legislature took tiie lead. It abolished what are known ag deficiency Judgments , the effect of the enactment being to confine a judgment on a foreclosed mortgage note to the property pledged as security for the mortgage. The evident purpose was tocbeu the creditor who bad loaned money on pi . > ! - etty of inflated value. As passed by ihe senate the bill was made to apply to eM ; - 4ng mortgages , some of the popular leader * . declaring in the debate that the bill woul l be toothless if applied only to future notes but the house , the more conservative tiodj in this instance , refused to attempt a elearl > illegal interference with existing contractt The Inevitable effect of the enactment will ' be to increase the rate of Interest on mort gage notes and to make it more difficult for Washington people lo borrow , and these con ditions are Intensified by-two other enact ments , one granting a Judgment debtor the right of pow.esi.ion of the projx-rty during thu Urnof redemption , and the utter ex- i , * emptmg from attachment personal projirriy | I to the value of ll.OC'U , iu addition to Hit- ; iiettuory hornettead exemption. STAY LAWS. In Kansas the time of redemption of prop erty under judgment In foclosure to elgh- tetn months An effort by some of the more sensible of the populists to reduce this IP twelve months fulled The aodKtr to the crfument th t thU unreasonable and unjust i !

Ne. braska followed Washington in sboltshlns deficiency judgments , and a like me ; urc passed one house of the Idaho legislature. but wa defeated In the other body. The Income lax. beloved of populists , was adopted In South Caol'na : ' alone i-ar ? being hud to make It apply only to the rich by the ex emption of Incomes up to $2.500. INITIATIVE ANI > nEPETlENPUM. Kansas. Washington and Montana rejected the Initiative and referendum , and In South Dakota the subject was conveniently uhlfted from the legislature to the people In the shape ! of a proposed constitutional amend- meut. As legalized In Nebraska , the system 1 ! a mortified fortji of the Swies cantonal government and applies only to cities and villages. It Is optional , being operative when adopted by the voters or by tbr council. When adopted It vests In the voters all the powers of the legislative authority of the municipality. Fifteen per cent of the voters may propose an ordinance , order , resolu- tvn or contract , which proposal Is to be filed with the clerk of the municipality. On the petition of 20 per cent of the voters the proposal must be submitted to n vote of the people at a special election ; otherwise It awaits a tegular election unless In the mean time It should be enacted by the council. That Is the Initiative. In the referendum It Is provided that no ordinance , contract or the like , originating In the council , except such as relate to the Immediate preservation of the public health or peace , or appropriations for current expenses not exceeding the cor responding appropriations of the preceding year , shall become operative until thirty days after Its passage. In the Interim 10 per cent of the voters can demand th ( i submission of the order lethe the people at n special election , or n per cent of the voters can suspend Its operation until its approval at the next tegular election. It Is a cumbersome system , apt to be expensive in operation , and not likely to be adopted except in a few municipalities where the radical populists are in control. control.ODDS ODDS AND ENDS. Some other illuminating features of popu list thought are found In Isolated examples as attempted or completed legislation which defy classification. Distrust of the- Judicial authority appears In a Kansas nactment limiting contempt of court to acts d n-1 In tbP pren ° nce of the court , and provirliug that punishment foi contempt in excess of a fine of $ l > 0 or imprisonment fcr one day shall not be Im posed without the sanction of a jury. Th < ? factional characteristic of populism Is evi denced in another Kansas law requiring em ployers of more than ten ppi ons to pay wages weekly , that number being chosen in ntead of the six named In the original draft of the bill so that it would not apply to farmer. * In the busy season. South Carolina's legislature furnished like evidence in a bill for an occupation tax. which pa.'ted one house , and which sought to levy B license tax on every occupation In life , except that of farming , not eveu the humble occupation of the negro laundress being exempt. Idaho made the employment of aliens by munici palities or corporations * c misdemeanor , and Washington declared invalid contracts re quiring the payment of an obligation In gold. Strangely enough this vain form of pro-silver legislation wng enacted In only on of the distinctively populist legislatures. In Kansas an attempt was made to turn back the dial of time by forbidding the use of type setting machine * by the mate printer , and tbi'i failing , a provision wus Inserted in the printing appropriation bill limiting the price to be paid by the state printer for machine work to 10 cents a thousand ems , at which price it may not be possible to use the machine ? . Perhaps the most unique action of all. however , in reference to financial matters wa ? the decidedly populistic p = r- formance in South Dakota , where the legis lature refused to accept the report of the state treasurer as to the public funds in his custody until he had exhibited the actual cash. He war- required , at some risk and considerable expense , to assemble in his olllce the funds depc ited In several banks. even certificates of deposit not being satis factory evidence to the bucolic legislators. They had the graciouencsE1. however , to vote an appropriation to reimburse the treasurer for the expense incurred. JAl'S NOT FOIUIII > AI1IK.

Tbc real fact Is that the Jap ? do nothing ; they only half do It , and therein lies the cause of the'lr failure. The Jap thinks of nothing but the pies- ent , of what be can make now , and how by making his commodities a little Inferior he can add a few more cents to his profit. If he has to pay more for his labor , the Idea of economy or Uie bold declaration that be can no longer Pell at the original price , never strikes him. but he extends the whole of liis ingenuity In trying to di minish the quality without any loss In the appearance. There IB no such thins an standard quality. You are i never sure of getting the quality you lire nKked to $ iay for.

INCIDENT OF THE BURLINGTON STRIKE Cnrt-li' * * tif ( Irtlt-ri ninl l > t-rvthlim ii.e. He WttrUftt Mnm Hnlfn > MOM n , M ml Then ItVn Ton l.nle to Mop. Eastward from lloob. on the Burlington , the toad drops down steadily for five or six mllre. ' Tur-re follows the little rise to the top of Wray hill , and then comes the sharp sag of a mile or more to Wray and the level valley of the North Pork. Every man on the Burlington * Missouri knew Wray bill as "Shorty Allen's DellRht. " and Meehiti , roundhouse foreman At McCooU. used to say. with a prowl , that it would be Shorty's un doing some day. This is how the pwphoey came true , aa related by tbe New Tori ; Sun : Shorty floated Into Lincoln one day In tht spring of 'SS , when the big strike on the "l ) " was two or three weeks old. He eon- trlved to convey the Impression that he had come "off the Reading" in the strike of lt\ Knights of Labor that began and failed a little before the Biotherhood men of the Burlington route Joined in a similar issue with their company. Many Knights applied for work on the "Q. " Just as. later. Brother hood men went on the Reading. So Uty got an engine and began to lib * , freight trotn McCook up to Akron and back , and to revel in the delights of Wiay hill. He loved that hill. He would work steam half way down It with thirty five loac's behind him and go thundering pan the siding at the bottom , shruting aloud with Joy. It was Shorty's lot to haul way freight. He backed and filled at almost every siciinc on the division , cutting out a car here and picking up one there , with ilpetn milts an hour In his orders and all day to make IIIB run. There wasn't anything at Wray but the siding and the dull red station houc and little else at Hobb. It wasn't often tba ; Shoty : had to leave or pick up anything at el'her place , and lit used to like to sail by both station ? at lop speed , and loaf further down the line to make up for it. He knew all the agents well and they would always rtport him to the dispatcher as having gone by at the proper time. All railroad men defer that. MIDPl'MMER ON THC KOAD. One day while his fireman was taking water at the big red tank at Ecklcy. Shorty w-ent Into the station for orders. He found out. that there was nothing for him at Hobb or Wra > . He had nothing to leave at elthei station and he climbed back into his cab. meaning to go through lo Laird to meet the up freight. Sometimes he met It at Wra > . but whenever he got the chance he ran by and trusted lo luck lhat It would be held for him at Laird. H was in midsummer The cactus was In bloom and the bunch grass was a deep green that toned down tin- hard htartlessneas of Ihe gray , hoi eand and made Ihe land almost Inviting. The far blue sky gleamed like burnished steel , and overhead , when be chanced to look up. Short > saw the red ball of wrath thai men called the eun. He sat in his open cab win dow and watched the heat demons march and countermarch in endless lines above the grass tops and the cactus. The motion of his engine brought him a cooling breeze , that brushed the hair lock from his fore head , where it straggled down under his cap. and he laughed at the heat. Only the fireman Buffeted. Shorty was , half out of Ihe window when be passed the station at Hobb. His feet were on the running board , his elbows were on his kntes and his chin was In lilb hands. He wns 50 absobed : in the contemplation of tilt- landscape plunging past him. so lost In Ibe joy of Ihe wild , free , forward swicg of the locomotive , thai he did not see the agei.t run out of ihe slation as the engine reached .the end of the platform , he did not hear the agent's frantic shouts to him , he did not know that as , his train shot by the despair ing agent ran back to his window and mechanically turned the red board , a mockIng - Ing signal lhat could not warn the train lapidly fadinc out of sight , of the danget that lay ahead. The conductor in the way car was working at his bills. The brakemen sat together on top of a box car watching for scared jackrabbits. They faced away from the station and neither saw nor heard the agent. Shorty had thirty loads behind him. He climbed in from his peich in the window , glanced at the gauges and gave her a bit more steam. Down the drop before Wray hill the train thundered , gaining momentum every second. Shorty was getting ready for the rise to he top of the hill. He meant to make the finest plunge down the other side that ever had been made. li ? meant to leave tbe agent standing open-mouthed In 1.1- door. and to be halfway to Lal'd before thr surprised operalor could telegraph to th- next station to hold the up freight for Sbortv Going up the hill be opened tbe throttle a llttlt more. The fire In the furnace was roaring and she was fairly popping steam She ty dropped his lever forward a notch antl gave her a longer stroke for the uphill pull Then he was at tbe top. Any other man on the road would have phut off Shorty puller ) his throttle out. He hooked the reversp lever up to the top of the gauge , and down Wray hill he roared with a full head of steam and his engine working a ten-imb stroke. Then be climbed back into Hit window end sat with h's head on his haii'ls and his fret on the running hoard. DASH TO DESTRUCTION. But the agent at Hobb ha 1 not raught the up freight at Laird , and wlipn Phony lipgan the plunge down Wray hill the up train was waiting on the Elding at the bottom That would have been ail right Shorty had gone by under such oircumstances a dozen i I i . for the laundry gives universal satisfaction. iTujioMiM Kir Lumber anu ningles t * S Indian Service. 1'ine Hldge An-niy.
