[ Demorest's Monthly , , ] The most ambitious project yet broached for employing electricity j a universal motor is at present under con sideration at Quebec. It has its origin in the successful usealready made" Montmorency falls as the sourco of power for lighting Dufferin terraco by electricity. It is now proposed to put the famous water-fall at work not only to run a short electric railway , but to furnish electric power superseding steam /u all the factories and workshops of Quebec. The utilization of natural water-falls for this purpose is already known to be entirely practicable. One of the first electric railways built as a business en terprise was that at Portrush , opened by Lord Spencer some years ago. It derived its energy from a neighboring water-fall. ! Near Grenoble a similar experiment was made , the water-fall being made to work a printing-press , a sand-mill , and other machinery in the city. These , however , were small affairs compared with tho scheme now pro posed in ( Quebec. Should that 1)8 suc cessful , great water-falls would acquire a value besides that of their picturesque- nes's , and tho practical man would no longer lose his enjoyment of their beauty in his regret over the amount of power allowed to go to waste. Some other very interesting experi ments in the usa of electricity as a motor are soon to be practically tested. In Xew York city experiments are un der way to u&e electricity instead of steam on the elevated roads. What is called the Daft motor is to bo em ployed. Philadelphia expects to have an electric railway under'operation within a very short period. Electric railways have been established for " years , "on a small scale , in Gennany , Austria , Belgium , and elsewhere , and electric omnibuses and boats have been used in Paris and \ ienna. Toronto , also , put in operation last month an electric railway about a mile long , to carry passengers to and from the neigh boring fair grounds. But the question of questions still to be solved is the cost of electricity compared with steam. Dentistry of tbo Primitive Bart. [ Boston Globe. ] Some of the more primitive methods of extracting teeth are worthy of men- tioiL One was to attach one end of a stout string to the offending tooth , the other end to tho handle of a half-opened door , and then suddenly close the door. The same object was sometimes at tained by fastening the string to a win dow-sill , and then jumping out of the window. How high a window should be from the ground to perform this operation satisfactorily is not stated , though this is a question of but little moment to a man suffering with a raging toothache. Early in tho present century dentists traveled from town to town , provided with a turnkey , a scraper , and some kind of dentifrice. The latter com monly contained acids , which not only removed tho tartar from teeth , but de stroyed their enamel. As one of Bos ton's most prominent dentists expressed it : "To use such a preparation is like setting a barn afire to kill the jats. " In destroying exposed nerves a hot iron was useii in place of steptics. A small nerve in the ear , connected with a net- \york of nerves , extending to the median line , was sometimes destroyed with a hot iron _ to prevent toothache. In other words , tho burning of that little nerve precluded the possibility of tooth ache on oneside of the face. This was not a general custom , though the oper ation is known to have been quite fre quently performed in Massachusetts. The Prospective Cocaine Supply. [ Cincinnati Enquirer. ] It is difficult to state where the best varieties of the coca leaf may be obtained. The plant flourishes throughout the extent of tho Andean plateaufrom Ecn- of Peru , toward the river Marauon , a vary excellent quality is found , but , clm just now , in that district , as well as in the others of Peru , it is of difficult ex is portation , owing to the still unsettled tr condition of political att'airs , the heavy trw rains prevailing in those sections and trft the limited means of transportation ft available. ftbl The current value of the coca leaves blai at Lima and at Callao may be fixed ac st oO cents , gold , per pound. The stm usual mode of packing for transporta si tion is in hides , forming what , in com t mercial parlance , is termed "ceroons , " it but the article from the Maranon , to 01 which I refer particularly , comes to 01w hand in small packages covered with w corn husks. Manufacturers speak highly of this quality of coca. as XVliat tho CroivIVet Mean. tibi bi New ' . [ Yor'c WorM.1 biM M. Mantegazza , an Italian scientist , M has written an article on wrinkles , suHi which has appeared in The Pall Mall Hi Gazette. He says the life history of a by man can be written from his wrinkles. After giving the pros and cons of the different lines of the face , M. Mante gazza says the crow's feet mark the sp passing of the fortieth year , and are Pi especially despised by ladies. He then tr cites a case of one lady who succeeded tra in keeping these tell-tale lines off long a after they were due by means of avi springs , which kept tho skin stretched ity atnight at the corners of the eyes. A itd patent on such a spring would make a lit man's fortune here. "Going in the fc sun , " says M. Mantegazza , "with the fcki face insufficiently covered brings tl wrinkles on prematurely. But they are in every case normal at 40. "Wrinkles tii in the upper eyelids , and sometimes in le the lower , he assures us , are the result leP < hard living , grief or worry. tii The Telephonic Voicp. Philadelphia Ledjrer.l ; The fact is that a telephone does not lo disguise a voice at all ; it simply accents its prevailing quality , making it rather more recognizable , if possible. A person who has a sharp ring in the voice will 6 speak more sharply , a gruff voice will 6ai be more gruff ; and , by the same rule , ai an insincere voice ought to be more in- la sincere. The telephone , indeed , if a in little more leisure could be given to the I people who talk through it , instead of j the feeling that the central office u \ waiting impatiently to cut them off , has would gi\y tine opportunity for weigh fie ing a man's words unperturbed by tUo a presence. in Mr. Gladstone In Con vernation. fNe < v York World. ] ifr. Gladstone , having given m > hh ' recent morning occupations of rea'ding the lessons in church and cutting down a tree , is in splendid vigor on th'o old stumping ground and is personally re ceived with all the old enthusiasm , though Chamberlain's quick chariot wheels aro leaving his political doctrines far behind. While Radical opinions ripon everywhere , frost-nipped "Whig- gery pines itself away. He is himself , however , admittedly in full fettle tho voice clear and resonant , the wonderful face the same , strong , intense , full of force , but withal tender , delicately lined and pensive. Wo have two portraits of lu'rn , onp at Co and one at 7 , but no portrait gives you an idea of it. Xo portrait can , for it is a face in motion The lateMr. . Samuel Ward , who was a guest with him at Dalmeny on his first stumping pilgrimage , and for whom Mr. Glad stone at once conceived that affection ate liking which that genial and accom plished American gentleman always inspired , was never weary of dwelling on that face. As he converses in pri vate , he used to say , it speaks as elo quently as his tongue. As he stood at the end of the piano , sipping his after- dinner tea with us in the quaint old Scottish drawing-room of Dalmeny , nothing but a series of instantaneous photographs could have given the faco or rather score of Gladstouian faces of tho ten minutes of conversation. The facial expression varies with ocry thought of this many-thoughted man. His thought was acted. Sur prise , pleasure , interest , disdain , pity called different features into play in his Protean countenance. Eyes , nose , chin , all spoke not only so , but the whole body , so that his conversation was like a solo with an orchestral ac companiment. Hands , feet , tho entire man , accompanied the time-like voice in a conversation which was not epiSrara- matic but sometimes involved ; ( lowing along at times like a level lowland stream , with many serpentine windings , yet always forcible and clear. AVhen his face is serious , the inner lights seem momentarily put out. He seemed then to apply a brake to the thought-train , and'every feature was pulled up into a portrait-like repose. One of tlie Mistakes of "Culture. " [ Cor. Kansas City Times. ] I once knew intimately two violinists. One had a wrist like a steel spring in its strength and flexibility. His fingers were supple and strong. He could not produce a bad tone if he tried. Ho played easily and almost without effort , and to me his playing was the most ex quisitely beautiful 1 remember to have heard. .Still ho had not taken the pains to study any particular school systematically and he was never al lowed by professionals to possess any merit , Tho other had a stiff wrist and clumsy lingers. He used his wrist , of course , but his bowing in rapid pass ages was never distinct and his exeu - tion while exactly according to Spohr was more for the eye than the ear. Yet he was the pet and pride of pro fessionals and consequently of the critics. I have frequently sat through an opera near professionals. 1 heard noth ing about beauty , but much of how cer tain tones were "placed" and "elected , " whether they came from tho throat or the roof of tho mouth or the chest. Perhaps I am not up to the tension of culture required to understand art , but I cannot adn-it that means are greater than ends. I can not forget that method which does achieve beauty is less ad mirable than beauty without method. The fault is not confined to musicians. In paiuting , the drama ' , literature , re ligion and decorative art'we hear more of schools than of essential beauty. All . criticism is pervaded by this mechanical judgment. It strikes me that we ought to be more concerned with results than with methods. t Unset * ntfl. : Chemistry. Many of the so-called applications of I chemical science to the arts were lirst b made by persons who were entirely S ignorant of science and who did not know the meaning of the word chemis try. Five hundred years ago tanners t who did not know that a raw hide con Ic tained gelatine and were ignorant of the Q iM-UAllVJ itUA * 7Vl > 4 fact that tannin would render it insoln- r ble produced better leather than is made anywhere Jn the world to-day. The stonemasons of the" middle ages who did not understand the union made by silicious sand and quicklime made mor tar that is stronger now than the rocks ic binds together. The ignorant Hindoos on the banks of the Ganges and the wild Arabs in eastern Asia made steel that is worth its weight in gold. Quito too much is claimed for science a promoter of the useful and decora tive arts. It explains many processes , but it produces very few that arc new. Medical science , if indeed there is an } ' such science , is little more than a classi fication of the remedial discoveries made empirics. The Good Spiders Do. [ Boston Bml ut.l TJr. C. Keller , of Zuricli , claims that spiders perform an important part in the preservation of forests by defending the trees against the depredations of of aphides ] and insects , lie has examined great many spiders , both in their viscera and by feeding them in captiv , and has found them to be voracious " destroyers of these pests ; and he be lieves that the spiders in a particular a forest do more effective work of this kind than all the insect-eating birds that inhabit it. He has verified his views by observa tions on coniferous trees , a few broad- leaved trees and apple trees. An im ' portant feature of the spiders' opera tions is that they prefer dark spots , and therefore work most in the places which vermin most infest , but which are likely be passed by other destroying agents * .

TIIK senate sat down on the democrat Anglophobists on Wednesday with a large majority in favor of employing American vessels to carry the mails to South America. This will , if it goes through the house , be a thorn in the side of 3Jr. Yilas. who hates an Amer ican ship and an American seaman. Eight democrats , mostly from the Xorth Atlantic states , voted with the republi cans. The bill appropriates eight hun dred thousand dollars and fixes the com- pensation to the mail carriers at fifty cents per nautical mile between the point shipping and the destination of the mail bags. The southern democrats generally voted to .strike out the word "American. ' " Plumb of Kansas made powerful speech in favor of American mail carriers for American business to South American ports. THE Springfield Republican says : 'When in such a condition of things as that which exists in Chicago n paper preaches murder and incendiarism , as the socialist organ there does , it is ask ing .1 great deal of society to keep its hands off. " The Syracuse Journal re marks : ' 'Such "papers are vipers who would strike down the benefactor that has warmed them into life.1 The peo of the Tnited States will have to give out a new interpretation of their invitation to all the world , that this is "the asylum of tins oppressed. " Ic is an asylum for European lunatics madmen.
