Tubing made from wood pulp is
coming into use for underground pur-

action of earth-return currents which
seriously injure gas and water pipes
in cities where electric cars use the
ground to complete their circuits. It
is also free from difficulties due to ex-

It Was a Failure.
In 1830 a sailing car was tried on
the South Carolina railroad. Its trial
trip was made with fifteen gentlemen
on board. When going at the rate of
twelve miles an hour the mast went
overboard with several of the crew,
and the result was general discourage-
ment.

got off the car that it dawned upon
him he had paid 10 cents for his ride.

What a Captain Saya.
The captain of one of our American
. war ships in the east says, after visit-
ing a Japanese war hospital near
Nagasaki: “The hospital was the
admiration of the French and English
surgeons, as well as our own. The
medical staff was all Japanese, who
had graduated in medicine and sur-
gery either in America or England,
then taken a post-graduate surgical
course in clinics at the Paris and Ber-
lin hospitals. They had the best
modern instruments and systems, the
newest antiseptics—everything a hos-
pital on modern lines should have.
And all this is the work of a genera-
tion.”

At Chattanooga, Tenn., recently.
Marshal Martin, shot James White-
side, whom he caught at home with
his wife, through the temple. Ihe
wounded man died within an hour.
The pistol was placed so close to the
sleeping man's head, that his hair
was badly singed. Martin suspected
his wife, and told her that he was go-
ing out of the city, but returned after
midnight. At sight of her paramour
he coolly shot him, and, remarking
to his wife, “Now you can do as you
like,” he left the house. An inquest
was held, and Martin went to the jail
and surrendered.

Owing to a recent coal war, coal
work is far more complex than is gen-
erally supposed, and makes a very- in-
teresting study. Speed in skating is,
of course, attained by the proper ap-
plication of every particle of motive,
power, says the Scientific American.
When the skater strikes out with his
foot he does not, however, as is gen-
erally supposed, obtain momentum
from the broadside pressure of th e
skate on the ice. The momemtum is
gained by a gradual and tapering
pressure which commences at the
head of the skate, since it is here
that the freshest and strongest force
is applied.
It will be seen that the momentum
is increased, therefore, by the pres-
sure exerted steadily and firmly out-
ward from the heel of the skate to
the extreme toe. The proper way
to attain great speed is to strike out
each foot as close to the other as pos-
sible, to continue the stroke up to the
toe, and when once the extreme mo-
