liKlBE CKuSSIrlUS.
Some recent shocking accidents have sharp
ly called attention to the "grada crossings''
of the railroads of this State. For several
years there has been a growing conviction
that they must go. Last winter a bill to
change them was introduced in the legisla
ture, passed by the house and defeated in the
senate. A bill much like that which failed
last winter has just been introduced in the
house. It requires that from two to five per
cent, of the grade crossings on every road in
the State shall be changed each year. If a
railroad company has declared no dividend
for the year immediately preceding the order
of the commissioners to remove a crossing at
grade, the expense of the change shall be
equally borne by the road and the town, city
or borough in which the crossing is situated.
If a road has paid a five per cent, dividend it
must pay three-fifths of the cost; if it has
paid five and not over eight per cent, divi
dend it must bear seven tenths of the ex
pense; and if its dividends are over eight
per cent, it must pav four-fifths of the cost.
There is no division of opinion as to the
necessity of abolishing the grade crossings.
The railroad companies agree with the public
in this matter. But how best to do it is a
difficult question. Something will probably
be done at this session, unless the small
towns feel that it is for their financi 1 inter
est to defeat any plan which requires them
to share the expense of changing the cross
ings, me people of Mew York have had
math the same experience in dealing with
this matter that Connecticut has. The board
of railroad commissioners of that State calls
attention to the loss of life that has occurred
at grade crossings, and says: Were it a law
that as a rule railroads should pass over or
under highways, and only be permitted to
cross at grade by a special order of court,
these constantly recurring casualties would
be greatly reduced, if not entirely done away
with. The board has recommended to three
successive legislatures an amendment of the
present law requiring newly constructed rail
roads to observe such a rule. The bill has
failed in every ease. Action is frequently
taken under the statute to protect grade
crossings. Notwithstanding its existence,
however, the board receives more complaints
from this than any other one cause.
The legislature of this State should take
proper and reasonable action this winter, ac
tion that is fair both to the towns and to the
railroads. It is better that a little, or much,
money should be spent than that people
should continue to be killed or wounded at
the dangerous grade crossings.
EDIiOKUL NOTES,
There is a good deal of sharp competition
in lying nowadays, but Mr. "Gus" Bossman
seems to be fairly entitled to wear the medal
nntil some more robust and consistent liar
rises up and wrests it from him.
"An honest man's the noblest work of
God." One of the "boys" of New York city
politics was asked the other day for the defi
nition of an honest man. "Well, sir," said
he, "my definition of an honest man is a man
that will stay bought."
The census of 1880 makes it appear that
Worcester then had 58,291 inhabitants. An
estimate of the present population, based
upon a newly compiled directory, gives the
city over 81,000. This is lively work, and
encourages those who believe in the new uni
versity. Rich men and politicians have captured a
number of United States senatorships this
year. The St. Paul Pioneer-Press truthfully
says: If there are not more States found to
follow the example of Vermont, Minnesota
and Connecticut this year, popular discon
tent with the Senate as at present constituted
will soon assume proportions which even the
Machine politicians cannot disregard.
The intelligent compositor, the lynx-eyed
proofreader and the expert telegraph operator
share between them the responsibility for an
amnsing blander recently made in a San
Francisco paper. A certain member of Con
gress took part in the long and short haul
discussion. "I feel it my duty," he said,
"to vote for this measure." The correspon
dent of the San Francisco paper telegraphed
this utterance, adding in parenthesis after
the word "measure" the words "long and
short haul." But the sentence was printed:
"I feel it my dnty to vote for this measure.
(Long and short howls.")
The petition of Brigadier General Daniel
Ruggles to Congress is interesting. He asks
for an appropriation of $100,000 to be ex
pended in developing his system of producing
rainfall and resisting cyclones and tornadoes.
After a lengthy dissertation in which the
general maintains the logical feasibility of
his inventions, he says that to precipitate
rainfall he would by a combination of the
available inventions, chemical and mechani
cal, send torpedoes charged with dynamite
and other explosives in skeleton balloons
into floating rain clouds and there explode
them by magneto electric force through the
well-proved time fuse, to send shocks and
vibrations throughout the aerial horizon. In
order to carry out his invention to the best
advantage and to pradace the best results, he
wonld desire "the co-operation of the signal
corps and the liberal employment of artil
lery, both light and heavy guns, nnder favor
able conditions of the army and navy and of
the volunteer service of the respective States
as an auxiliary force, by single guns or by
salvoes, in combination with explosives in
the aerial realm."
The investigation of the burning of the
Temple theater in Philadelphia has brought
out some instructive facts concerning the
dangers of the electric light. It was demon
strated that when, as sometimes happens,
the insulation of the conducting wire be
comes detached and the wire is rnn or passes
through woodwork, incandescence may be
set np. Also where two wires are placed
near together, with woodwork between them,
, cross currents may be induced by the pres
ence of meistnre on the wood. Wires pass
ing through window sills or casings have
thus at times been set on fire by rain. When
fire is in this way produced in woodwork it
cannot be extinguished by water or by a
Babcock extinguisher, which will only inten
sify the blaze, the acidulated water which it
emits strengthening the cross current which
is doing all the mischief. Another thing
proved was the possibility of fire being
communicated by the enclosed electric lamp
globes. A cotton handkerchief was wrapped
around one of them and in a few minutes it
burst into Same. It was further made clear
that if an electric lamp is broken in an at
mosphere charged with illuminating gas it
may produce an explosion.
The Rev. Dr. Robert G. Hutchins of Ober
lin in a talk resent ly before the Congrega
tional clnb of Cleveland said some things
that are worth attention. He intimated that
the charitable work the churches were advo
cating and practising was doing harm instead
of good by keeping in existence poverty,
disease and crime which is the result of the
inexorable law of heredity and which it
would be for the general benefit to let die
out. The tendency of the position taken was
that the law of "the survival of the fittest"
is a fact, and it is questionable whether its
course ought to be interfered with. In con
clusion Dr. Hutchins said: "To seenre the
highest advantages of the world for heredity
ministers must acknowledge that they cannot
save the race alone, but must welcome the
co-operation of the scientists, psychologists
and philanthropists. We must regard Chris
tianity not only as an instrument of prepara
tion for tbe future world, but also as a power
for the improvement of this. We must trust
largely the reenperating powers of nature and
be patient. I do not look for any sudden or
miraculous elevation of the race by heredity.
I even believe with Guizot, 'that God, who
spent ages in fitting the earth for the resi
dence of man, may well spend ages more in
fitting rectified man to inhabit a renovated
earth.' "

The Clock Was Set.
New Orleans Timeo-Democrat.
He was a darkey who wanted an alarm
o'clock. This was his mission when he en
tered Hart's jewelry store. After getting in
there he informed the accommodating clerk
of the nature of his visit and that individual
hastened to wait on him. He wished the
clock set so as to spring the alarm at 3:30 a.
m., as that was the hour at which he had to
get up, as he worked in a restaurant that re
quired early service. He was particular as
to the time he wanted it to go off, for he was
going to the theater to spend the earlier part
of the evening and was anxions not to over
sleep himself the next morning. Tom Sog
ers, the. clerk, a jocose fellow on such occa
sions, at once saw the opportunity to have
some fun at the dark purchaser's expense
and took advantage of the same. He set
the alarm accurately to go off at 9:30 p. m.,
put the clock in a box, received the
price and handed over the parcel. The
bnyer put the timepiece into his overcoat
pocket, loitered around unconscious of any
impending racket nntil it was time to go to
the play. Then he entered, and in company
with his best girl took a seat in the gallery.
He soon became absorbed in the fate of the
hero on the stage and had no thought of his
overcoat, that he laid on the chair next to
him. Everything was perfectly quiet. Sud
denly there was a resounding clatter in the
pocket of that big o iat. Such a going around
and buzzing interrupted the gallery proceed
ings. The shock aroused him from his rev
eries and his seat at the same instant. With
a frantic clutch he grabbed the coat, clapped
his hat over the instrument of noise, vainly
endeavoring to still its diu.
The colored ladyjby his side shrieked ont in
wild affright. A Seneeambian philosopher
in his rear gravely explained to the startled
persons around him that tbe man had de
veloped into a battery of electricity, and to
move away from him or they might get
struck. This caused a commotion. While
this was going on the clatter ceased with as
little warning as it had begun. Silence was
restored, all save the audible smiles that cir
cled round tha gallery. As soon as the pur
chaser had recovered from his surprise he
took in the situation, appreciated the joke
and afterward detailed his experiences to
Tom Rogers, saying that "darned thing
made him lose a whole act."

There are hundreds of things which our
forefathers threw away which we find many
ways of utilizing. Within a generation the
residnary products arising from the manu
facture of gas, which were formerly consid.
ered worthless, have through new methods of
distillation and manufacture been made to
yield coal oil, salts of ammonia, naptha, tar,
pitch, creosote, benzole, carbolic acid, paraf
fine, aniline, napthaline, and by combination
with coal, shales, alum, copperas and sul
phnric acid. So it is with the contents of
the ragpickers' bag. Woolen rags, old stock
ings, white flannel, carpeting, serge, tailors'
trimmings, old coats, gowns and other con
demned garments are sent to the shoddy
manufacturer where they are torn into
shreds, mixed with new wool and ' manufac
tured into cheap and serviceable cloth.
Woolen rags are also ground np into flock
and artificial flowers and ean always be used,
no matter how old.
Linen cloths are sent to the paper manu
facturer and transformed into the best paper.
The enormous shop of Marcus Ward & Co.
at Belfast, Ireland, depends largely upon the
linen manufactories of that place for its
paper stock. Cotton rags go to paper mak
ers, while house rags and dish cloths, which
are covered with grease, are sold to hop
growers for manure. All kinds of paper are
sent to the papier mache manufacturer, who
produces various ornamental and useful arti
cles, such as tea trays, cigar and tobacco
oases and match boxes. Bones are boiled for
their grease and gelatine, converted into
charcoal and used in sugar refineries, sold to
the tanner, who manufactures case handles,
knife handles and other useful articles, or
they are ground np and sold to the farmer
as phosphates of lime, forming an excellent
and highly valuable manure.
Old bottles, vials and fragments of glass
are remelted, colored by a unique process and
mde into fiat pieces which are broken np
into irregular shapes to serve as mosaic win
dow glass. Pieces of tin and tin cans are
sold to chemical works or to manufacturers
who melt them into window weights. Old
boots are sold to men who patch them up
for the cheap trade, or if they are too dilapi
dated thsy are ground up with other frag
ments of leather and compressed into insoles
for cheap shoes. The tin and solder are re
moved from old saucepans and sold to the
dealer in these articles. In Paris the utility
of everything is demonstrated. Coal and
ashes are sold to brick burners, the dye is
extracted from scarlet cloths for wood stain
ing purposes, and the bodies of dead cats and
dogs are skinned and the hides used in the
manufacture of gloves, and one enterprising
cnap onys bits of bread, grinds them np and
resells them to French cooks as bread
crumbs.
A Sousltlve Bostoalan Narrates
Peculiar Woes.
From the Boston Post.
Bis
I heard of a pathetic outgrowth of nervous
sensibility yesterday. A professional man
who is not only a painfully self-conscious
man, but also one given to observing things
about him with great minuteness.has become
so acutely susceptible to the essential ugli
ness of the hu man ear that he scarcely sees
anything else in the people about him than
their ears. To a physioian, an expert in ner
vous affections, whom he was wise enough to
consult, this gentlemen told his story some
what after this fashion: "It was as many as
hve or six years ago that the sight of a par
ticulariy hideous pair of ears, one of which
had beeu slit in a ghastly manner in some
accident or tight, set ms to reflecting on the
extraordinary caprice of Providence in set
ting, in the most conspicuous place upon the
head of its curious earthly achievement,
such utterly absurd and unsightly contrivan
ces as human ears. The ear is useful, no
doubt: but might not an infinite ingenuity
and an omnipotent choice have provided man
with an auditory appliance less hideous than
this convoluted excrescence? I was led to
ask myself, Is there any such thing as a
beautiful human ear? I looked up all the
passages in polite literature iu which the
human ear is referred to, and found not only
that such passages are extremely
few, but that the beauty referred w all
the comparisons of delicate, pink-edged
feminine to the translucent exteriors of sea
shells and the like are simply comparative.
No poet ever thought, so far as I
could find, the beauty of finding
absolute beauty in the ear. It is
only as a pendant or an accompaniment, less
hidaous than nsual, to the beautiful head and
face of a lovely woman, that the actual ear
itself, as apart from the faculty of hearing,
ever becomes tolerable iu poetrv. In art the
ear is a thing to be dissembled; no realist
was ever so unblushing as faithfully to paint
the ear as it is. Photography reveals it iu
all its ngliness. but poetry bears the same re
lation to art that the dissection of the body
does to the love of humanity. The rnnning
of these through my mind led me to start a
sort of Lioly Urail quest for a really beauti
ful hnmau ear, and, at the same time, I
found myself searching out, whenever I got
upon a street car or a railway ti'ain, and as I
walked down the crowded streets, ail the
ugliest ears, with the instinctive eagerness of
a connoisseur, lhe ear habit grew upon me.
I beca-ne a sort of collector of ears. When
I came into a railway train filled with people
my eyes ran down the long rows of ears next
the aisle to see whether there was a vacancy
in the devious lines that I might fill with
my own. That row of ears to a man who
had fallen into the habit of observing noth
ing else but the ears was horribly suggestive
of a sea serpent. I say that all this began
five or six years ago, but of course my ma
nia for such it has become did not all at
once take this serious form. It has been a
gradual growth. Now I find it threatening,
perhaps not my nental balance, for I feel
capnbie of maintaining that, but my peace of
mind certuiuly, and all my old sensibility
to the beauty of the human form and
the loveliness of life about me. My old keen
sense of tlie beautiful I lament, as a fallen
angel might lament the joys of paradise. For
me there is nothing in the world bnt ears,
ears, ears. The pleasure ihat I sometimes
feel in meeting a specimen less hideous than
the rest does not repay me for the offense
whiuh the nmform dead level of ill shaped
growths inflicts upon me, and I am resolved,
if medical science can - do anything for so
strange a malady to take the utmost possi
ble advantage of it. If I conld so influeuce
my organs of sight as to make it impossible
for me ever again to see the human ear at
all, it would be a consummation devoutly to
be wished." I understand that the eminent
physician consulted in this case was
nonplussed for a time, but has at last succeed
ed in so influencing the sufferer's thoughts
and attentions by diverting them to other
channels that he is already .somewhat less
poignantly conscious of the ears he sees.
That the doctor is in fact fighting the old
mania with a new one and intends to checs
the new before it in its turn shall take po9
session of the patient as did the other.
The case, I have no doubt, will suggest to
more than on reader something of a similar
sort in his knowledge or experience. It is
only one of many morbid outgrowths of the
keen consciousness, the rawness of sensibili
ty that overwork aud intense mental strain
have suptriuduced.
