March is variable, and citizensall

the weather was concerned, was a
bad day. With lightning, rain,
Snow and driving winds, indoors

Spring is, in some respects, back

been done yet and the farmers are
getting impatient and anxious
to get their wheat sowed.
Winter wheat has come through

Putting on Fast Trains.
The Burlington is preparing to
put on fast trains beiween Chicago,
Omaha and Denver that will make
a stir among the railroads. The
train which now leaves Chicago at
10:30 p. in. and Omaha the following
evening at 7:10 will be expedited.
Under the new schedule it will
leave this ciiy about 4:30 p. m. and
reach Denver at 7 in the morning.
It will then be the fastest train be
tween Omaha and Denver by more
than two hours. It will carry the
fast mail and a dining car.
This train will be of especial ben
efit to many interior points in
Nebraska because of improved con
nections. It will -reach Lincoln
about 6 o'clock and the train for
Grand Is'and will leave that point
about 5:15 instead of 8:50. This
branch train may also be extended
to Ravenna, Grand Islaad. Kearney,
Central City and intermediate
points will be reached at a season
able hour in the evening. The return-train
will leave Denver at 9 a.
,u.t frQ through Omaha about mid
night and reach Chicago at 2 p. m.
This will require but one night on
the road and will reach Cnicagoi
in time to connect with the fast
trains east. This will be twelve
hours sho-ter than the time of the
.corresponding train now running
Among other Burlington chang
es will be one by which the sleep
ing car service between Omaha will
1e extended to Chicago. These
.chiingcs will be made during the
coming month. Omaha Bee.

Cm of the Telephone In Surgery.
A remarkable application has been
made by Dr. J. Mount Bleyer. In a case
of membranous croup intubation was
successfully resorted to. When the re
moval of the tube became necessary it
had disappeared. Tracheotomy would
evidently have to be performed, but the
difficulty was to locate the tube. A del
icate metallic probe attached to an elec
tric wire, the other end of which termi
nated in a telephone receiver, was passed
down through the larynx. As soon as it
came in contact with the tube a distinct
click was communicated to the ear
through the receiver. The exact loca
tion having thus been determined, trache
otomy was performed and the tube ex
tracted. New York Telegram.

The Life of a Thunderstorm.
Mr. William Marriott asserts that
thunderstorms, instead of traveling at
a rapid rate over the country as one con

of storms following one another, and it
is his opinion that the average life of
each is not more than about twenty
miles. London Public Opinion.
Uses of Chinese Wax.
The white was is a substance of great
utility in China. It melts only at a high
temperature, and is used chiefly to cover
candles made of animal and vegetable
tallow, to prevent too rapid combustion.
It is used also as sizing for paper and
cotton goods, a glase for silk and a polish
for furniture. New York Sun,
