already been adapted to many uses. By
it a man can have a plant in his own
house and grounds powerful enough to
give him electric illumination. As the

chine, fans, washing machines, eto.
Electricity will prove to be man's most
useful servant. It will give him light
and at the same time turn fans to cool
him this hot weather. If a lighting ap-
jaratus is put into his grounds it can be
maintained by the same machinery and
sccta that feed upon his garden.

Kea Sickness.
A new tlcory of sen sickness has
pean recently offered by M, Rochet.
Accepting the view that the symptoms
are those of cerebral aunmmi, he ac
counts for (his anmzmia by the dis.
order brought into muscular contrac-
tions through not being used fo such
sudden movements as those of vessels.
M. Rochet’'s advico is nof to look to
anmsthetics, soothing drugs, &ec., for
relief, but rather to museclar excitants,
and, above all, to seek in involuntary
movements a compensation for the re.
flex movements which are not pro-
duced. Ie recommends strychnine,
veratrine, ergot of rye, and drinks
charged with carbonic acid. —[Phila

will burn, consequently the danger

Woleoit's Story on Tabor.
It is sald there was much money
gpent in the Colorado senatorial cam-
paign. One day a principal of a high
school met Tabor in the hall of the
legislature. He had in his hand a
oopy of “Robert Eismere.” He sym-
pathized with Tabor in his critical
fight and expressed the hope th:t he
would pull through. He next casually
asked the senator what he thought of
“Robert Elsmere.” i
“No good, no good,” Tabor replied.
“Wolcott bought him up three months
ago.” |
