KlectiTolty for IIi-mUhi: l':tr:cse.. Now and again one hears of electric heating in a vague kind of way thai would hardly lrad anUody lo "-ujjiio practical results liad li-n obtained. Km the fact is that the v.trir ln-atinif ap paratus is already in iisite geneial use, and that several companies liaw been fonnwl for its iniroductioii. On of the earlier forms of electric heateis, which was specially designed for street car use, i not unlike an ordinary radiator, and has also been gien a shape resembling that of the familiar metal foot-warmer. The rapid increase in the number of electric street cars in our northern latitudes has given a stimulus 1o ingenuity in this field, and a new heater has been brought out which for .-.implicit? and for economy of space seems hard to excel. It consists of a narrow strip of ribbon of asbestos, in closed In sheet iron, about three inches in width, and one-quarter inch in thick ness. This strip is placed under the car seats, extending from one end of the car to the other, and is protected by b wire creen. A second strip of the raino dimension is attached to the first as a kind of compressing plate, and the wires are imbedded in the asbestos. These strips are given a zig-zag form, so as to in crease the length of radiating surface exposed in a given area. The current b'ing turned on the wires, by means of the resistance they are purposely made to offer to the current, become very hot, and tins heat is radiated, therefore, Pteadily and equally throughout the car. A more agreeable means of heating it would be hard to imugine. No space is taken up by the stove, nor are acy of the seats rendered unpleasant by prox imity to the heating apparatus. Phila delphia PrcM. Iutprov 1 Method of Warfare. Recent experiments at the naval proving ground with a Gatling gun at tached to an electric motor have deter mined a new method for firing this class of ordnance on shipboard. The results were satisfactory, and hereafter guns mounted on deck or aloft will be oper ated by a motor. Landing parties on shore will continue to lire the gun by the usual method. The motor attachment is an improvement instituted by Dr. It. J. Gatling, and the plans of the arrange ment were made by the Crocker-Wheeler Mutor company of New York City, who al.-o fiiruMicu the electrical appli ance. 'I lie .adoption of the motor will result in an economy of men and in ef fort, and will increase the efficiency of the fire. Wtiere before two men were required to operate the gatling guns, only one will be necessary hereafter. Heretofore one man, the gunner, trained the gun and dropped the shot where they would produce the greatest effect, and another operated the crank which sets in "motion the mechanism of the piece. IJy t)ie pew system the gunner alone trains and operates the gun by touching a button. The motor i attached to the breech of the gun and moves with it In all direc tions. It can be detached instantly, the connection being a specially devised one, and injury to the motor alone will not impair tin usefulness of the gun. The greater steadiness of application by the electricity renders the Gatling gun more effective as a piece of ordnance than when operated by baud. The serving is as certain and there is increased regular ity. These elements have entered into the new arrangement and given to the service another use for the electric cur rent. Xcw York Tribune. I'srimllV Nemesis. What is Mrs. O'Shea like? What man ner of woman is this 'modern Helen?" Are her charms so overpowering that even the casual observer is impressed? Inasmuch as no adequate portrait of Mrs. O'Shea has been published in this country, at least shico her name became a part of history and her beaty a mount ain in the path of liberty, the following deeription of her from the lips of a fam ous traveler will satisfy some curiosities: "She is not a brilliant woman intellectu ally, any more than was Delilah or Helen of troy. Cleopatra' was. but there has never been but one Cleopatra. Mrs. O'Shea is a sort of an Amazon; she has the thick lips and bulging brow we see in the Cleopatra medals, and she is as cold-blooded ordinarily as Cleopatra was known to be; while she is not a very tall or big-boned woman, she Is ruddy and full-blooded: her hair Is blonde and pro fuse and her complexion is fair.

It may be hoped that it is a simpler plan than the one adopted by a large number of the elevated-road projects that we have been hearing of the last year. The number of hairs on the human scalp varies from 90,000 to 120.000; a single hair will support a weight of two ounces, and is so elastic that it may be stretched to one-third of its entire length and then regain its former size and condition, The present rate for telegraphic mes sages from London to Australia is about $3 a word. It is thought that it can be reduced to $1 a word. Frequent mes sages are sent costing 1,000, and one was sent a short time ago by a Lon doner that coat $16,000. Thebe are 200,000 women in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, 135,000 in the King's Daughters, 100, 000 in the Woman's Belief Corps, and 35,000 in the Eastern Star, An aggre gate of nearly 500.000 banded together under various names for loyal service to all manner of human need. Thebe is a proposition to construct an atmospheric railway three and one-half miles long up the Jungfrau. According to the plans there will be two parrallel tunnels nearly ten feet in diameter, finished cylindrical and provided with rails for the cars; the cars will be cylindrical, and will be forced np the incline by compressed air operating against their ends. A rnocEss has been discovered by which the time of the manufacture of champagne is reduced itom eight months to forty hours, but, unless this great saving iu time is followed by a proportionate reduction in price, it is of no advantage to the rounder, who, owing to the unfailing supply of cham pagne, never expects to wait even forty seconds when he has called for his bottle. The abandonment of tea cultivation in China would be strange Indeed, yet a Foochow journal reports that, in con sequence of the distressed condition of the tea cultivators in the Fukhien Provjnpe, the authorities are advising them to abandon the cultivation of tea altogether and to replace it with rice and potatoes! Many landowners in districts where water is abundant are following this advice, and it is said that opium also is to be extensively planted. The electric light of Berlin I"43 P10 greased very much during the past few years. In March, 1888, there were 189 private installations, as well as a num ber of central stations. In 1889 these private plants had increased to 237, of which seventy-nine were run by ga, the re3t being driven by steam. The arc lamps used in public buildings numbered 820 in 1889, and in private establishments, 2,976. The incandes cent lamps in use numbered 62,816. Becext information gathered by the German forestry commission assigns to the2 pine tree 500 and 700 years as the maximum, 425 years to the silver fir, 275 years to the larch, 245 years to the red beech, 200 to the birch, 170 to the ash, 145 to the alder and 130 to the elm. The heart of the oak begins to rot at about the age of 300 years. The holly oak alone escapes this law, it is said, and there is a specimen of this aged 410 years in existence near Aschaffenburg in Germany. It has been found that the Eede-mann-Tilford steel process, which con sists of treating the metal in a bath into which glycerine enters largely, causes an increase in ductility and tensile strength far beyond any record in that respect tbat has yet been established by either Government or private tests. The very finest and strongest grade of steel, superior in these properties to any other now in nse, can be produced by this process at only a Jit tie more than the cost of the crude Bessemer article. The railroad casualties of the year j 1890 have been worse than epidemic. I fri .. j - r.i.i:i. :i:-.i j- i. .. ployment of this latter word. The constant repetition of them which one encounters leads to the conclusion that they are the resnlt of defective manage ment of our railroad systems. This loss of life this year upon railroads is absolutely appalling, and the amount of horror and of suffering that are at tendant cannot be estimated. The sub ject needs attention of all railtoad men, and a common movement is necessary toward remedying the evil. THE hold of Dickens upon the mind of his own generation, at least, is niore evinced, if possible, with every added year. What other writer since Shake speare could be relied upon to furnish a gallery of characters for a carnival ? Scott possibly might, had he not ranged so far north with the most of his crea tion; but there is something in Dickens that not only appeals to the general heart, but which retains its place there without faltering as the generation of Dickens is passing away. This magician's unapproachable humor has much to do with it. Nominally a car load continues to be 20,000 pounds. It is also 70 barrels of salt, 70 of lime, 93 of flour, 6 cords of soft wood, 18 or 20 head of cattle, 50 to GO head of hogs, 00 or 100 head of sheep, 8,000 feet of solid boards, 17,000 feet of siding, 13,000 feet of flouring, 40,000 shingles, one-half less of hard lumber, one-tenth less of joist, scantling and other large timbers, 340 bushels of wheat, 400 of barley, 400 of corn, 680 of oats, 360 of flax seed, 360 of apples, 340 of Irish potatoes, 380 of sweet potatoes, 1,000 of bran. It is generally as mnch more as the shipper can get sneaked in without extra charge. It is understood that the Bell Tele phone Company fs about to make anew departure in one branch of its business which promises to prove highly bene tidal to the public as well n to the company. It proposes to sell tele phones outright to parties desiring thenr for private use, the cost of each instru ment complete not to be over $10. These telephones will not, of course, be permitted to connect with the central office, but will be allowed to be used solely for private intercommunication without recourse to the general system. Of course, this will be of great advanr tage to individuals who may have need of such a means of communication with each other, and it will farther popular ize the telephone tremendously. About three thousand men, accord ing to recent reports, are now at work on the Nicaragua Canal, and some $3,500,000 has thus far been expended on preparatory work. The work of ex cavation will soon be commenced, and Gen. Macauley estimates that, of the entire route of 167 miles, only 27 miles will require much digging. Some of this, however, i3of a rather formidable character. He states, for example, that on the east coast, ihere is to be an ex cavation to the depth of 150 to 200 feet through solid rock for a distance of two-and-a-half miles, this alone involving an outlay of $10,000,000 or $15,000,000. He believes that within six years the canal will be open for traffic. The action of Boston in essaying to effect on an elevated railway the same successful and profitable developments of electrical traction which it has ac complished on its surface lines, is re garded with much interest by electri cians all over tho country. One of the greatest objections to elevated railways has always been the use of steam lo comotives, with their disagreeable ac companiments of noise and smoke and cinders. With the heavy locomotives, too, required for steam traction, a very cumbrous structure was needed, but with the use of electricity, cars lighter and of more ornamental construction can be adopted. Tim new departure of Boston seems likejy to inaugurate in city travel an era long desired. It is now mentioned as a fact that a mjle au hour better time is made iu Boston by the surface electrio cars than in New York by the steam cars of the elevated roads. Tue traveling public will hear with satisfaction the announcement that the two ocean steamship lines which have been contesting for supremacy during the past season have decided to discon tinue the practice of racing. It is for tunate that this decision has been reached amicably and before it has been forced by some great disaster and loss of life. No one has seen the City of New York and the Teutonic start on a voyage, either from this side of the ocean or the other, without feeling a twinge of fear lest one or both- of them might never be heard from again. But no disasters have followed, and now that the racing is over, not only for this year, but for the next also, the timorous can breathe a &igh of relief. But whether the practice was approved or not, every one will have to admit thar this season's record on the ocean has demonstated how safe traveling is on that great high way and to what perfection the build ing of great steamships has been brought when they can bear without injury the strain to which the contesting vessels must have been subjected, Bow Hungry Elephant Feed. One favorite food of the African ele phant is the tender jucy roots of the mimosa tree, which grows in scattered groups through most of the meadows and lowlands of central Africa. When an elephant finds a young tree of this sort, it is not difficult as a rule, for him to get at the roots especially if the surrounding soil is moist and loose, as is often the case after it has been soaked by the heavy rainfalls of the tropics. If the tree is loose, the elephant, knowing his strength, winds his trunk firmly round the tree, and plucks it from the earth, a feat which is no harder for him than the pulling up of a flower is for a child. But the elephant does not stop here; experience has taught him the most comfortable way of enjoying his prize, so without relaxing his hold, he turns the tree completely over, and stands it with its upper branches thrust down into the place where the roots were. Then the earthy roots, now replacing the branches, remain within easy reach of the strong and deft trunk. African travelers tell us of great tracts of country almost covered with these inverted trees. Seeing the dry trees turned upside down one would be more likely to think a wood had been reversed by mischievous fairies, than to suppose hungry elephants had been feeding there. Sometimes ah elephant will find a tree which defies his greatest efforts, and absolutely refuses to be uprooted. But the elephant doe3 not give it up. Not at ail. He cither brings another elephant to help him a thing they often do when the work is too much for one or, if he cannot find a friend, he sets his own wits to work. He makes use of his tusks as levers, thrusting them, as if the' were crowbars, deep under the roots, and prie3 away slowly and steadily until the tree is loosened; and then with a great wrench he com pletely uproots it and it goe3 toppling over, leaving the clever elephant vic torious. Caryl D: Hashing, in SL Nich olas. The Waste of Animal Food, - The flesh of domestic animals fit for food is almost a waste substance in many countries, since it cannot be locally con sumed nor profitably preserved. In the Biver Platte republics alone there are 80,000,000 sheep and 25,000,000 cattle to a population of 2,500,000. For years sheep were only valued there for their wool, and when flayed, carcasses were left to rot, or when dried in the sun, piled np in stacks for fuel, while latter on, they were boiled down for their tallow. Sheep get very fat in the province of Buenos Avres, and those of three and four years wili give frequently from eighteen to twenty-five pounds of tallow. Countless numbers of sheep are boiled down every year in the so called graserias only for the tallow, which forms one of the staple articles of export. The mutton is thrown away, or used in a dry state as fuel. In the five years ending with 1856, more than 1,500,000 sheep, and 200, 000 horned cattle were boild down sim ply for their tallow, in the colonies of New South Wales and Victoria. Tasteless Jtedlclae. An old colored man saw a sign in a drug store which read, "Tasteless Medi cines.'' Looking into the "pizenmixer." as he called him, he said : "Dat am de bes advice I ever got taste less medi cines," and hurried away just in time to dodge a package which was thrown after him. i Quite Satisfactory.

"Not one umbrolla iu a hundred, no, not one in a thousand." remarked a ! dealer, "is ever worn out through Iegiti ' mate nse for the purpose for which an 1 umbrella is designed that is, iu keep- "B "u 'am. AMUll UUC3I1 i uuri an umbrella in the least; on the contrary, it is my belief, after years of experi ence, that rain does it good. But I don't believe that I ever s.tw an um brella that was used up iu shielding its owner (or somebody else) from summer showers or winter 'storms. "Umbrellas are, as a rule, short lived, and they suffer harm in various ways. One is from being allowed to stand folded up. Of course no one ex pects a man to carry hi umbrella in the street unless it is folded, but how many people stop to think that them is no use of letting it remain so during the time that it is standing in the house? The proper way is to unfold it and shake it out when you enter your house or your office and expect not to carry the umbrella for the next few hours or a longer period. Otherwise the silk is much more liable to crack at the creases, which are always the weak est point in an umbrella, unless it meets with an accident that tears the silk or breaks the stick. For the same reason I never advise a man, or a woman either, to draw a cover over an um brella after it is wrapped. I sell cov ers', of course, and if a purchaser says nothing to me about it 1 say nothing to him. But if my advice U asked. I al ways say frankly that I consider the cover a bad thing, unlets it is used im moderately, as Josh Billings advised in tho matter of courting. What I mean is that if a man simply puts on the cover when he is going to take his um brella out of doors, and takes it .off again as soon as he comes in and sets it aside, it will not do very mnch harm. But the safer practice is to do without the cover altogether. "Another way in which umbrellas get worn out is being knocked about in traveling. You go into a street car, for instance, and place your umbrella alongside of yon. The next passenger who comes in may brush, his muddy boot against it, and you will be lucky if he does not make a hole in it. Um brellas have hard luck, too, on railway journeys. "If you place one carefully in the rack the constant jarring and motion of the train will inevitably wear it consid erably even in going a hundred miles. Under such oiroutnstance there is something to be said in favor of pro tecting it with a cover, though it is certain that in that case whatever is gained will be accompanied by a cor responding, or at least by some, loss. "Then, again, umbrellas suffer be cause peoplo don't know how to handle them when the wind is boisterous. How often do we see umbrellas turned inside out simply through lack of care or of knowledge! This is something that never ought to happen; at least it ought never to happen in such gales as we have in the streets of New York City. Few people know how to hold au umbrella under such circumstances. "In order to guard it properly and protect it from damage it should be firmly grasped by both hands. Let one hand seize it near the handle end of the stick, about in the place where it would be held in the mildest Juno shower. Then let the other take an equally firm bold far up the stick, close to theT point where the spring holds the outstretched ribs. "Thus you can not only protect your self from the rain as much as possible, but you render a collapse of your um brella almost out of the question. If a woman is out in a blow and tries to hold her skirts up with one hand and to control her umbrella with the other, it is not the least wonder in the world that she meets with a mishap. "There is more science in taking care of an umbrella," the dealer said in con clusion, "than one person in a hundred understands. I have no doubt tbat I could make an umbrella last twice as long as any one of nine-tenths of my customers. I wonld do it merely by acting upon the hints I have given and others equally as simple which would suggest themselves. "It may not be good for business to talk as I have done, but I have only ex pressed my honest thoughts. One thing is certain mighty few umbrellas come to a natural end, if the natural end of an umbrella is to be used up in keeping the rain off of people's heads and shoulders." iV. Y. Tribune. A Straight Verdict. A coroner's jury returned a verdict to the effect that a certain prominent man had died of alcoholism. "Your verdict is absurd," some one said to the coroner. "Why so?" "Because he was never known to drink." "That's a fact" "He never went into a saloon." "You are right." vThen why do you say he died from the effects of alcoholism, when we all know that he was shot ?" "That's all very true," the coroner replied, "but the man who shot him was drunk. Don't talk to me, if you please. I understand my business. Deceased was killed by whisky." Arkansaw Traveler. To Husbands. You require a great deal from your wife in the way of patience and tender ness. Don't forget that she has equal claims on you. Don't be gruff and rude at home. Had you been that sort of fellow before marriage the probabilities are that you would be sewing on your own buttons still. Don't make your wife feel that she is an incumbrance on you by giving grudgingly. What she needs, give cheerfully, as if it were a pleasure to do so. She will feel bet ter, and so will yon. Don't meddle in the affairs of the house under her charge. You have no more right to be poking your nose into the kitchen than she has to walk into your place of business and give direction to your em ployers. Gluttons. Among the accounts of enormous eaters there are perhaps none more ex traordinary than that related in "Ful ler's Worthies," concerning Nicholas Wood, of Harrison, Kent, Eng. The account says: He ate at one meal a whole sheep, and at another time thirty dozen of pigeons. At the resilience of Sir William Sidney be ate as mnch as would have sufficed for thirty men. At Lord Watten'a, in Kent, he de voured eighty-fonr rabbits at one sit ting, which, at the rate of half a rabbit for each man, would have served 108 men. At breakfast he ate eighteen yards of black pudding and during the day ate a whole hog. When accommo dated with fruit he ate three pecks of damsons.

The new church stands in grounds given principally by the Duke of Norfolk, and is called "The Church of Our Land and the English Martyrs." Saw Gea. Graat Wm Cort rted. Dr. Newman preached a memorial ser mon, which ho partlcclarly addressed to a delegation, 100 strong, from the U. S. Grant post, G. A. R., of Brooklyn. He spoke from his knowledge of Gen. Grant's character and life, and portions of his address were thrillingly intcrest- j iug. There were many tearful eyes an he told the story of Grant s conversion and baptism. "One evening," said Dr. Nowman, "en tering the room where the General and Mrs. Grant were seated, I said: 'General, 300 Methodist preachers iu New Jersey stood up to-day and prayed for you.' ' 4Yes,' said the Genoral, aud I have heard that a number of men and woinon in IJoston have banded themselves to gether to pray for mo, and little children have sent me notes saying they have added my name to the names of their papas and mammas in their prayers,' and then I saw the big gray eyes fill with tears. ' 'What do you say. General,' said I, 'shall we not join in the universal peti tion?"' It was while they prayed. Dr. New man said, that tho general became a con verted man, and in deep, solemn voice uttered repeated "amens" to the ieti f ion that was offered in his behalf. The baptism took place, Dr. Newman saiu, ut a time when iu the opinion of the at tending physicians the general had but live minutes morn to live, although as a matter of fact death was at the time so remote that the general lived to go ou and almost complete the story of his life.

Tho energetic and critical New York Sun has to say of the present republican administration that "no public scandal blurs its record. It is declared to be tho cleanest since James Buchanan and Abraham Lincoln." But. speaking of the Buchanan administration, was not the stealing of the United States navy for use against the government some thing iu the nature of a public scandal? As Chief Executive Buchanan was a humbug, and his cabinet was corrupt enough to do its best to sell out the country. Cincinnati Gazette.
