It is to be noted, however, that more ac cidents in proportion to population oc cur in the south, the southwest and the west than in the northern, the middle and the eastern state. The older and mors closely settled portions of the coun try are the safer one. As to the times and seasons, midwinter, with its icy sidewalks, and midsummer, with its great variety of outdoor occupations, are especially prolific of accidents. James R. Pitcher In Forum. The Advance In Electricity Dm Keen SUpId That II Hu -ru(rMd N" Thaa th InlelllKsnr NeoCMary l HuiriU It Good Paid. ' Two men were sitting face to face be tween the car track on Park row tin other day It seemed to tie a dangerous position, for they could not follow then work and at the same time keep then even on the rattling team on either hand They bad to keep their elbows in. too. or the car would hump them They were seated at a manhole, tenting cable of wire which were in the subway beneath. Eacb had the end of a cable iu band and a portable galvanometer a ujnare box about the size of a cigar box -in front of him lint a few years ago the man engaged in connecting wire in this way touched the tip of each wire in turn to the tip of bis tongue. If there was a current run ning through the wire he felt a little pricking and a sour taste. He did thi the whole day through, -nd was none the worse for receiving so many slight elec tric shocks ami tasting so much copper It was a very primitive tent, but a very good one, and old wire testers still use it wnen in a hurry But soon a galvan ometer was made, which not only finds the current but give some idea of its strength The rapid way in which In vention has been piled upon invention in the electrical world is marvelons, and i. seems surprising that a sullicient num ber of workmen of sufficient intelligence should be found in such a hurry to prac tically put these inventions into use. A question upon thi very point was put to a well known electrician' who happened to saunter by the two men at work. BAD WORK. "It Is only surprising in a measure, he said "As a matter of fact, the busi ness has grown much faster than the intelligence necessary to Candle it, and many accidents are due to that fact. The electric light people at first bad to rely very largely on th workmen engaged by the telegraph companies, and both had to draft in a large nnmlx-r of new men and train them to the work. Any man with a little knowledge of mechanics and the handling of tools toon make a good lineman There is no great skill re quired, except In care that the wire does not become abraded in handling, while the good wages paid for the work seventy-five dollars a mouth area great inducement But the business has un doubtedly suffered in its rapid progress for the want of skilled men, and the market is by no means overstocked yet Only the other day one ol the New York companies hail to send to the New Eng land Cable company to borrow men to make joints in city lines. 'Some of the underground work, too. bas been badly done, but much of this has twen quite as much due to keen com petition and the proverbial economy of the unscientific stockholders When it comes to buying wire, costing from (I.4O0 tol..Vw a mile, the stockholder lias a lot to say about it, and cheap wire is too often a result One of the electric light ci.i:;;a:-,u- runs an alternating cur rent, and it now begins to find, all over the country, tn.it iu wire are already becoming fanlty They cannot stand tC 8 "! U1AM.IL rot VOINQ ME. One of the things alorbiiig the atten tion of electric men today is to find an insulator whicb will stand heavy alter nating current. So the trouble ha been a much a matter of cheap material as nn-killel labor." 'Have the workrc'i a uuion yet!" 'No, not y, t. 'ln-re is an association called the Society of Electrical Engi neers." 'And where do the engineers and executive men come from?" "A g'xxl many of the head of depart ments have their training at the various schools of technology, such as the Stev ens institute. Cornell university, the Massachusetts School of Technology. In deed, nearly all th universities have clasaea in electricity now, and they sup ply a good deal of the talent for the busi- 'Thrxv )uuiig fcilcwtfrcss the schools of technology hav started in the black smith shop and worked right np, aud the only thing about electrical matter they have no knowledge of is th bum ne end of it They easily find post lions at from f 00 to $100 a month at the start, and readily get more according to the ability they display. "It i a great busmen for a man to get Into, whether he is well educated or not. There Is such an enormous field for the application of electric power outside of the electric light See bow fait the lectno street car have grown through out th conutryl Then there are the other almost innumerable application of the force which will soon be in de mand No, sir, the skilled workman who goes Into tb electric bnsiueas, of whatever grade he may be, need feel no fears of bn labor market being over crowded."

Sawflshe belong to th order of rays, although their bodies hav the shape of ordinary fishe. They swim wholly with their tails, snd the long weapons which adorn their noses are merely pro longations of tb snout, armed on either aid with teeth in socket and covered with rot'h skin of great toughness. With this formidable instrument they rtteck their prey, tearing piece of flesh from it body or ripping open th abdo men to feed npon the Intestines of the victim. There is something positively abnormal about all these creature called rays. They suggest the notion of fishes antediluvian, and it is not tnrprising to find many large and extinct specie among tb fossils of vanishc i epoch. .Interview In Washington Star.
