"The man at the throttle, with a throbbing

f-fiirlne, even In the dark. He can tell In.
atlnctlvely, from the tempo of the various
rhythmlo motions of the engines, almost
with exactitude his rate of progress with
out glancing at watch or mtlepost. Or In
daylight he knows subconsciously, from the
very fact of having had under his eye for
years' the revolutions of his driving; wheels
or the movement of the reciprocating parts,
almost precisely the speed per hour which
their motion represents. It la a well known
experience with englnemen that when, after
a long; period with a particular engine, they
re given a locomotive with much larger
driving wheels, they are for a time some

One of the officials in charge of the New

himself .had experience In the ateam loco
J motive cab, thinks that this difficulty may
i for a time be a source of considerable cha
grin to steam engineers with electric en

Btfl-a telephone Is generally quite a kafe

women In this city think so. One was re

fear- she might ' be overheard.'t After a
second urging Cfentral broke In cheerfully

Figures Just given out by the New Tork
Telephone company show that that cor

on September 1 2G,K4 telephones, it hav
ing gained during the month of August
4.3SS telephones. This increase would seem
to indicate the growing activity of New
Tork In midsummer and appreciation of
reduced rates. The value Of telephone serv
ice la measured by the number of people
with whom a subscriber can communicate.
New Tork'a telephone system is the largest
city telephone system In the world. It has
nearly two and one-half times as many
telephonea aa London, the Urgent city In
Europe, and more telephonea than there
are in Berlin, Hanover, Lelpslg, Dresden,
Breslau, Cologne, Frankfort and ten other
German cities, each with more than le.jfl
population. Add to this fact .that ( has

By spreading currents from a etatloaT'
electrical machine over a plot of growing
carrot's. Prof. Lemstroera of Helslngforo,
according to B. Tolksdort In the Lelpsla
Illustrlrte Zletung, has Increased . the
yield by II per cent during the flrt
year and (0 per cent in succeeding years,
as compared with similar plots not electri
cally treated. On small parcels of land
experiments with potatoes,' the currents
being generated in the earth by means
of copper and sine platea sunk at intervals
and connected by Insulated wires above
the growing vines, have recorded an in
creased yield of from CO to 100 per cent.
The large harvests of Spitsbergen and

tributed by many scientists to the electri

phenomena occasioned the artificial ex

prevent the plants from withering under

tion thus provided would in Itself largely
explain the success of the experiments,
even .though no electricity had been ap
plied. Savants have sometimes been made
to appear very silly through some such
obvious explanation of the results of their
labors. But the effect of electricity upon
the atmosphere, setting free a constituent
portion of nitrogen, which is the sub
stance of all piant foods, has long been a
subject of scientific observation. In a
thunder shower the raindrops catch the
nitrogen freed by the lightning in the
form of nitric acid, which Is an efficient
fertiliser. It is quite possible that Prof.
Lemstroem is merely Imitating this nat

statements, such as "three-day cures," "no pay until
cured," "no money to begin treatment," "money re
funded If not cured," etc.. eto. 6ucu statements are
misleading and are used for the purpose of obtaining
patronage. Honest doctors of recognized ability do not
resort to such methods. We do not say that we will
treat you without any money In advance for the purpose
of securing patronage, and then when you call demand
money payments and notes signed far in advance of rea
sonable charges; neither do we promise to cure you In
three or four days, knowing It will take longer; nor do
we try to secure patronage by offering to refund money
paid sit a cure is not effected. We do not accept any
cases we cannot cure. '. We guarantee a safe and lasting
cure In the quickest possible time, without leaving In
jurious after-effects in the system and at the lowest cost
possible for honest, skillful and successful treatment.
Any man who Is In need of special medical attention will
find the State Medical Institute ready to commence treat
ment without delay. , 1
If we could see and treat all men when the first symp
toms show, themselves there -would soon be little need
for so-called specialists In chronic diseases, and there
would be few men seeking a rejuvenation of their physi
cal, mental and vital powers, and there would also be
few marked with the stamp of Constitutional Blood
Poison, and the sufferers from STIUCTITRE, VARICO
CELE, EMISSIONS, NEUVO-SEXUAI, DEBILITY, IM
POTEXCY, RECTAL, KIDNEY and URINARY DSEASE8
and their complications would be reduced to a minimum.
But as long as men continue to disregard the golden
adage, "A stitch in time saves nine," and continue to
neglect themselves or to. exercise indifference or poor
Judgment In securing the right treatment at the outset.
Consultation and Examination Frea.
just so long will there be multitudes of chronlo sufferers
You should carefully avoid all uncertain, experimental, -dangerous
or half-way treatment, for npon the success
of the first treatment depends whether you will b
promptly restored to health again, with all taint of the
poisonous disease removed from your system, or whether
It will be allowed to become chronlo and subject yon to ,
future recurrences of the disease, with the various re
sulting complications, etc.
The State Medical Institute does not mislead the sick
and afflicted Into the belief that It is going to give tree
treatment, or for next to nothing, or for less than It can.
conscientiously be worth, and in Hen of the "Free Treat
ment Offers," charge exorbitant prices for medicines.)
The State Medical Institute does not resort to achemmlng
methods. The sick should beware of. and avoid any
doctor or medical concern who holds out faUe induce-'
menta In, their announcements, which appear alluring, ,
and in many cases deceive the weak, sick, suffering man, '
i who like thft drowning man will grasp at u straw In 'an
effort to be saved. How many weak, nervous, drowning,
sinking men are grasping at straws today to get cured
of their ailments (diseases), which are dragging them
down to the bottom of the sea of despair and - misery T
Why not awaken to the realization of the fact today that
boasting promises of quick cures, misleading statements
and unbusinesslike propositions to the afflicted are but
straws that will gink you deeper and deeper Into the sea;
of despair. . Why grasp at such straws when you can
secure the substantial treatment of the Honest. Skillful,
Reliable Specialists of the State Medical Institute who
will not deceive you with any . false promises, but will
save you and restore you to health, strength and vigor,
and place you safely within the boundary line of pros
perity and enjoyment of life.
The State Medical Institute desires to warn all men' tor
beware of any misleading statements by which they may''
be deceived in an effort to regain their health.
