time fir loinling and for darting the
vans would depend (Himowhnt on where
tlin gnoils were going. lf '"'y w,'re K
ing 40 miles into the country, the vans
would lie londed the nfurnoon before
and would start at 9 o'clock In the
morning. They would rrivo at their
dcHtinntion at nlioiit 10 o'clock the sumo
morning, tho horws woillil lio put np
and the vuns unloaded, tho start on the
leturn would lie minlo ntalioiit 8 o'clock
the next morning, and the arrival in the
city would he at about 10.
Vans are specially constructed with
lnrgi liodies and low wheels for trans
portation 1 iy steamhnnt or railroad.
Whether horses are taken on such trips
depends altogether on tho distance thu
vans are going. If hi a nearby point,
the horses go along! If to a distant
point, it is cheaper to hire horses there.
If vans were going to Newport, for in
stance, they would lie shipped on a
freight propeller, whose derrick would
pick them up like great boxes of goods
and land them on deck. On such n trip
horses wonld not be'taken, but hired in
Newport for the hauling there. Horses
would meet the vans at the dock upon
their return hore. -Vans go west at least
as far as Louisville, south to Baltimore
and Washington. In trannfors, say to
Long Branch and other nearby points,
the horse go with: the vans.
Fifty tulles would ordinarily be about
the liniitot the distance that vans cover
on theirown wheels, but they sometimes
go greater distances. Forty unlos would
be not at all unusual, and trips of DO
miles and less am common. Tbo drivers
know the roads within 00 miles around
New York well. .They know where the
pa veil row Is are and those that are most
nearly level, and-whore the poorer or
tnoie Jillicult roads are, too, and so they
know what sort of an outfit to take.
Where the roads are good to destination
the vans would lie-drawn by four horses.
On bad or hilly foads they would take
six horses. It is interesting to note, as
the result of the drivers' observations,
that the roads around New York are
better than they .used to be, and that
they are atoadily improving. Not in
frequently the van companies move peo
ple from one point to another outside of
the city. For example, a gentleman
who lived in a town near Bridgeport,
Conn., who was about to move to a
place near Tarrytown, in tbia state, con
tracted with a van company of this city
to move him. Three vans went up from
the city on this expedition. The work
took about two weeks. Here the dis
tance to be covered waa so great that it
was impossible to make it in a single
day, and the vans baited at night and
went on in tho morning. They went to
and fro in this way nntil the work was
completed. The bill for this job came
to nearly $1,300.
The van companies move goods be
tween points in the city as well as to
and from it, and besides moving house
hold goods they will estimate on and
contract to remove fbe contents of a
store or a building to another store or
building. A recent moving job in tbia
city came to about f 1,300. Ooods mov
ing in vans on their owa wheels are not
Insured. In transit by rail .or boat they
are insured at the request of the owner.
The cost of moving by vane. depends, of
. course, largely a distance, .and it varies
somewhat according to season and cir
, comstances. It is cheaper between sea-
sons, and the nature of the roada to be
, covered might have something (to do
i with it To Morristown, N. J,dlstanoe
.about 80 miles, the prioe ia Ihe.baay
., season would be fiii a van and expenses,
the .expenses being ferriage and .tolls.
T.o.a point, say, 13 miles from the .city,
. to the busy season, tha rate wonld be $ 20
a vaa and expenses.
The storage and vaa business haa in
creased greatly in New York in recent
jears. The population of the city and
ita suburbs baa increased rapidly, and
there, axe now more moving days titan
.formerly. Many leasee low run from
.April or October, besides those that rra
from May, so that the business ia mux
distributed through the year. The nam
berof those who go out of town for the
summer has increased greatly. Many
persons rregnlarly every year move
household goods enough to furnish or
partly fundus a bouse at the seashore or
in the country. There are many persons
who give -up .their rents in spring and
store their effects and go away nntil
full New York Sun.

QUEER PLANTS USED FOR FOODS.
Llttl Known Vrs-ntaMlM and KdlHIa In
nil nf tlia 1'ralrla,
Over at the department of agriculture,
hidden away In an wlmcnre corner, is
an odd sort of exhibit of queer foods
aten by ont of the -way people. There
Is a loaf of bread made from the roasted
leaves of a plant allied to the century
plant. Another kind of bread Is from a
dough of Juniper berries. Theseare rel
ished hy some tribes of Indians, whllo
others manulncture cakes out of d I Her
eof kinds of bulbs.
Tha prairie Indians relish a dish nf
wild turnips, which civilized people
wonld not lie likely to enjoy at all. In
Hie great American desert the "screw
beans," which grow on mesqnlts bush
es, are ntl Used for food. Hoap bajrles
furnish an agreeable diet for some sav
ages In this country, while tu Califor
nia the copper colored aborigines do not
disdain tho seeds of salt grass.
Also In California, tho Digger Indians
collect pine nuts, which are the seeds of
certain species of pine, sometimes called
"pi nous," by kindling lires against the
trees, thus causing the nuts to fall out
of the cones. At the same time a sweet
gum exudes from the bark, serving tho
purpose of sugar. Thoseeds.of gourds
are consumed in the shapo iff mush by
Indians In Arizona.
In addition to all tVso tilings tho ex
hibit referred to Includes a jar of pul
verized crickets which are eaten in Unit,
form by the Indians of Oregon. They
are roasted, as are likewise grasshoppers
and even slugs. These delicacies aro
cooked in a pit, being arranged in alter
nate layers with hot stones. After be
ing thus prepared they are dried and
ground to powder. They are mixed with
pounded acorns or berries, the Hour
undo in this way being kneaded into
cakes and dried in the sun.
Tho AsHinibnines use a kind of seed to
stop bleeding at the nose. Among other
curious things ued for food am acorns,
sunllower seeds, grape seeds, flowers ot
cattails, moss from the sprneo Mr tree
and the blossoms of wild clover. The
exhibit embraces a number of models
representing grape seeds enormously en
larged. It Is actually possible to tell tho
species nf a grape by the shape of the
seed. There is a jar of red willow bark,
which Indians mix with tobacco tor tho
sake of economy. This, however, Isonly
one of a thousand plants thst are util
ized in a similar fashion. Washington

With a great many of them the Drat
duty is to take off their boots or shoes,
Small wonder, for half of ithcm are In

their feet so hardly, at .any rate never

is made at about 800 yards' distance
from the building for the purpose of put

been hitherto held in the bands. Charcb

ElMtrle Quantity and Tension.
Electrio quantity and tension or in
tensity are terms based on the assump
tion that electricity is a fluid. Quan
tity is the amount of the fluid that
body contains as its charge and the ten
sion or intensity on any pointof its sur
faceinsulated electricity lies on the
surface is tbo depth, or if the depth
remain the same the density of the fluid
at that point. The quantity has refer
ence to the number of particles electri
fied and the amount of force lodged in
each; the tension has reference aimply
-to the inductiva force lodged ia each.
Particles that are highly electrified
must polarise (powerfully the particles
near them, and if powerful enough
cause discharge. Tension or intensity,
therefore, is tbetpower to polarize and
effect discbarge. The quantity of elec
tricity passing ina current is estimated
by the power of the current to deflect
the magnetic needle by the chemical de
composition it effects, or by tbe temper
ature to which it raise a wire of given
thickness and material. Tbe tension or
intensity of the current is the power
which it has to transmit a current
against resistance, such aa that offered
by a bad, long or thin conductor. Ten
lion, strictly speaking, ia not a property
of tbe current, but of the battery which
generates tbscorrent. Brooklyn Eagle.
Where Snow Is Bad.
Snow is sometime found in polar and
Alpine regions, where it lies unmelted
from year to fear and tbe annual fall
la small, colored red by the presence of
innumerable small red plants. In ita
native state tbe plant consists of bril
liant red globules on a gelatinous mass.
Red snow was oliserved by tbe ancients,
a passage In Aristotle referring to It,
but it attracted little or no attention
until 1760, when Banssnre observed It
in tbe Alps and concluded that it waa
dna to the pollen of a plant. It was
also noticed by tbe arctio expedition
nnder Captain Ross on Baffin's bay shore
on a range of cliffs, the red color pene
trating to a depth ol 19 feet. Less fro

A Ctlmnlitc ItallMk.
At the great slaughter house In the
Parisian suburb of La Villi tte there ia
a granary fiom which the beast await
ing execution are fed. The way to It it
np a sulistantlal Isddnr staircase. One
of the bullocks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before ba
could tie stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, be was seen on tbe
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. As soon as he reached
the granary two or three at tcmlants fol
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, but all their efforts were unavail
ing. There was nothing' to lie done,
therefore, hut to leave the beast there
to est his llll and then see whether he
would lie clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly soino thought
of exhibiting hi in In public may have
crossed tho minds of his guardians, but
If so they were doomed to disappoint
ment. The stupid animal, Instead of
trusting to the staircase, got out of a
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on a little
thin ladder standing against It. There
was a crash, the ladder broke In half
and the tisi adventurous bullock fell,
bieaklng all his legs, so that ho had to bo
killod on the spot. Paris Letter,

"The most eloquent speakers are not

Fithian of Illinois. "Thern are men
who could bold an audience spellbound
with a speech about a cockroach and nt
the close of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, a bird or a piece of machinery.
I saw an illustration of this one t into In
a political meeting. One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country Is Em
erson Etheridgn, and I heard him deliver
a speech that swayed the hearers like
mnsio at the hands of a master. There
was nothing that be could not do with
tho crowd whilo they were under his
control. Ills opponent had a voice like
a big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to homely lan
guage and rather coarse ridicule. I
watched the vote in that precinct, and
tho measure advocated by the eloquent
speaker scarcely received a vote, while
the other man had carried everything
before him aa if by storm."
