DOOM OF THE HORSE.
Electricity the Coming Motive
Power tor Vehiolea.
Not Onljr Street Cars, But Wheeled Cou.
T.yancr. or All Kinds Will lie Pro
pelled by tbe TJoseen Force That
Is Revolutionising the World.
From present indications it will not
be surprising if within a few short
years the electric 'taotor will have super
seded the horse generally, if not uni
versally, as a motive power, says the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette. With
in three years it has taken its place on
all the street railways in the city, with a
single exception, that were not using
the cable. The same is true of every
other city in the country. Even coun
try towns and thickly populated coun
try districts have electric roads. In this
way hundreds of thousands of horses
have been displaced within the last five
years. The cable came first, but it is
being superseded by the electric motor,
as it is less expensive and more easily
handled.
Many of our readers will be able to
recall the cry against steam railways
that they would do away with stage
coaches and horses, thereby throwing
thousands of drivers, hostlers, horse
buyers and tavern keepers out of em
ployment It is said that this cry was
so loud as to keep the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad out of this state. Had it not
been for the turnpike influence the first
line would have come to this city, and
thence to Wheeling, instead of going
over the mountains from Cumberland
to Wheeling. The stage horse was
doomed, however, and had to go. Is it
not possible, or even quite probable,
that the carriage horse and the draft
horse are likewise doomed? Within
two years from the present time car
riages, bnggies and light wagons will
be scudding along our streets propelled
by electricity, and it is not improbable
that the same power may be applied to
heavier-wheeled vehicles.
In a recent letter Thomas Shields
Clarke, the artist, who has been in Paris
for some time, says:
"Do you realize that the clays of our
equine friend are numbered? Carriages
propelled by electric or naphtha motors
are already a common sight on the
streets of Paris and becoming more nu
merous every day. Not being a great
lover of horseflesh I 6hall be gl ad when
it is gone. What nice, clean streets we
will have when it ceases to hammer
them to pieces with its iron shoes.
More capacious carriages can be used
and many men can own their own con
veyances when propelled by a motor
that only uses a few cents' worth of
electricity, in naphtha, per day, and
costs nothing at all for feed or atten
tion when not in actual use. Every
man may then be his own driver. It
looks very much as if this new order of
things will be established before the
close of the present century."
There are none, or at least only a
few, who will take issue with Mr.
Clarks on the subject. The electric
motor and storage battery have been
brought to such perfection that it is
quite safe to predict a general if not
universal decline in horse power. Dur
ing the coming harvest a number of
agricultural machines, such as reapers,
mowers, thrashers, plows, harrows and
rakes will be operated by storage bat
teries instead of horses. This is ren
dered possible by late improvements in
the storage battery. A five-horse-power
battery, good for ten hours' steady
work, occupies a box no larger than an
egg case, and weighs no more than one
hundred and fifty pounds. These can
be transported any distance, and may
be returned and recharged at small
cost.
A battery of this size and power will
propel a farming carriage continu
ously for fifty hours, or at least for ten
days if only used five hours each day.
So it will not cost nearly so much as a
carriage horse, nor require either feed
or attention when not in use. There is
no reason why it should not become
very popular

OUR PHOSPHATE MINES.
A Newly-Devolopod Industry
Much Importances.
of
Destined to Become a Source of Great
Frollt to American Agriculturists
Some Valuable Infor
mation. We find in a special report of the
commissioner of labor the latest statis
tics relating to the phosphate industry
of the United States. The report, says
the New York Sun, not only shows the
actual output of our phosphate mines,
but estimates the period during which
the industry may be expected to con
tinue. Carroll D. Wright, the commissioner
of labor, points out in his introduction
that the value of the discovery of phos
phates, from an agricultural view
point, cannot bo overrated. Previously
to 18-tl the principal commercial fertil
izer had been bone dust, but, in the
year named, guano was introduced from
the Chinclia islands of Peru and, ow
ing to the greater solubility of this
commodity, the demand for it rapidly
increased. As time went on, however,
the inadequate and rapidly decreasing
supply of guano and bone dust led to
t'.ie active development of the phos
phate industry in South Carolina in
1807 and in Florida some twenty-one
years later. In 1891. the last year for
which statistics are complete, the
quimtity of phosphate produced in the
United States was 707,133 tons, much
the larger portion of which came from
South Carolina, where at present the
mines are most vigorously worked.
The next largest producer of the fer
tiliser is France, which, in the year
named, was credited with 400.0U0 tons,
after which should be placed Belgium
with 200,000. The entire output of the
world in 1891. outside of the United
States, was 830,000 tons.
The home consumption of the fertil
izer lakes place chiefly in the southern,
eastern and western states. It is con
spicuously in demand for the cotton
crop of the south, for the fruit and
vegetable crops of the east and for the
grain crops of the west. As regards
the situation of tlie principal deposits,
ve learn that there are in South Car
olina twenty-thfeo land mines and
seven river mines; that there is one
land mine in North Carolina, while
there are no fewer than eighty-eight
land mines and eighteen river mines in
Florida. The number of acres con
trolled for minin-? purposes in Florida
is 170.813: in North Carolina, 8,500, and
in South Carolina C0.T90, or a total of
2M.133 acres. The total capital in
vested in plant in Florida is $1.3.140,582,
and In land 511,3-10,007; in North Caro
lina the plant is represented by 5f'J,000
anil the land by $100,001); in South Car
olina tlie plant is worth $2,503,200 and
the land 3 J,!);iO,000. The total average
number of employes engaged in tlie
production of phosphates is 0,175, but
this does not include all the labor in
one mine or tlie skilled labor in two
mines, the facts in relation to which
are not reported. The total amount of
money expended for labor was 82,473,
115, and the average earnings of a
-uiner umountuu to 537(1 per annum.
We are assured that great pains
has been taken by tlie department
of labor to collect trustworthy in
formation as to the 'amount of phos
phates which may reasonably be ex
pected to bo delivered hereafter from
the mines. The quantity in sight in
South Carolina is computed at 14,000,
003 tons; in this state tlie industry, at
the present rate of production, will ex
tend over twenty-eight years from
1801. Tlie quantity of phosphate visible
in North Carolina, Georgia and other
states is put down at 1,000,000 tons,
while Florida is credited with tlie
enormous quantity of 133.050,110 tons.
Taken ti,Tet!ier these estimates shown
total of H!;,orlS.4li tons of phosphate
in si;fht. and enable us to measure the
future opportunities for the employ
ment of labor in this industry.
RUjuLKH vuiuHOW,
Progressive Ideas Advanced by tbe New
Itect. r of llerlln If Iverslty.
Prof. Rudolph Virehow, the eminent
German scientist, who has just assumed
the rectorship of Berlin university, evi
dently believes in scientific rather than
classical studies for youngmen. "Grain
matic schooling is no longer the aid to
progressive development necessary to
our youth or which generates the love
of learning that is the first condition to
independent development," said Prof.
Virehow in a recent address. "There
are now other fields of learning whose
methods are so far carried out that
they are perfectly able to fulfill what

is necessary; there are mathematics,
philosophy and the natural sciences;
they afford the young mind such a se
cure foundation that it can easily make
itself at home in any faculty. On the
development of these three sciences
rests the whole of our western culture,
a culture which ripened a Christopher
Columbus, to whose genius and energy
allow me to pay a deserved tribute.
The university is not merely an Insti
tution for acquiring knowledge, but
also one for examination and explora
tion." Prof. Virehow is among the
anti-Darwinian scientists. He says that,
in spite of statements to the contrary,
no traces of the "missing link" be
tween man and the lower animals has
been discovered either in the physical
organization of modern savages or in
U moet aneiont of human skulls.

To the thoughtful observer who finds

thiough the church door the ceremony

The feeling that prompts the earliesl

the girl about to face tho most serious
problem of her life to make a public
spectacle of herself to which she bids
the public, as far as she knows it, to
"come and see?" Gazed at by merciless
eyes, quick to notice the slightest de
flection from the proper thing.she offers
herself as a target for comment and
often ridicule. Only a few of the cu
rious throng are so filled with friendly
interest in the participants of the cere
monial that they are oblivious to the
bride's expression or of the tone of the
groom's responses. A marriage should,
by virtue of all it signifies, be consid
ered as something apart from other
festivities. It is an occasion when thoBe
chiefly interested should be surrounded
by only their nearest and dearest
friends. Then the entrance into "the
holy bond of matrimony" seems holy,
and not an opportunity for the display
of toilets and new and original ideas
concerning bridesmaids.
Another mockery attendant upon the
fashionable wedding is the promiscuous
sending of gifts. How many there are
to whom the arrival of that bit of pastc
lioard with its summons is anything but
a pleasure, because of tho equivalent
present which must be sent. For often
the obligation is felt by those who can
ill afford the necessary sum required for
the purchase of a wedding gift, which
must be "as good as anyone's." Others,
with no thought or interest in the mat
ter, will carelessly select something or
anything, so long as it makes a goodly
showing, because it is supposed to be
the correct thing to do. V ith neither
gift goes tho loving thought, the kindly
wish, which makes the value of tho
article, if the recipient is not placing
the market valuation on her presents,
and appraising each one as it is un'
folded from its wrappings. In France
the sending of a wedding gift is con
sidered as a favor, and only tho priv
ileged few who have some claim on the
bridal couple are permitted to send
gifts a custom worthy of imitation.
Of course, to the young couple whose
new home depends largely for its orna
mentation on the generous remem
brances of their friends the gilts arc
highly prized, and, as a rule, arc sent
by those whose kindly interest in tho
young people leads them to select such
articles as will be just the tiling. But
for the girl, whose future is amply pro
vided for, and whose home will know
no deprivation of any desired article,
the miscellaneous collection gathered
in from the dear five hundred or more
has no sentiment or value. Why will
not some independent spirit take tlie
initiative, and when she announces to
the world at large her coming nuptials,
state at the same time that she wishes
only the presence of her friends, and
nothing more tangible?
The Flghtliij Mole.
' A writer in tho "Zool ogist" gives us
a new idea of the characteristics of the
mole:
People ordinarily look upon tho mole,
as a sluggish and harmless creature,
spending its life in groping blindly
under ground. As usual, the popular
idea is a mistaken one. The mole is in
reality the most ferocious and most
active of animals. Imagine it magni
fied to tho size of a tiger and you would
neve a more terrible beast than the
world has yet seen. Though with de
fective powers of vision and therefore
incapable of following its prey by sight,
it would bo agile beyond conception,
springing this way and that as it went
along, leaping with lightning quickness
upon any creature which it met, rend
ing it to pieces in a moment, devouring
the yet warm and bleeding flesh and in
stantly seeking with hunger insatiable
for a fresh victim.

THE BABY CYCLONE.
Row It Diillleil it 1 1 ! i ro-.'-'iln Jack and
.-po.le . 11. s l.t'iiuty.
A baby cyclone is what A mos R. Acton,
of Butto City, called the storm which
swept over his place a few days ago.
Here is the way he dc:cribcd it to a
Denver News man:
"It was jut rdrt-.t f.vc o'clock in the
sfternoon. and ir.y wife and 1 were talk
ing of cyclones. All at once I heard a
rushing sound, and 1 saw my little
woman turn palo with fr.gbt. I rushed
to the door which cpmcd'upon the ver
anda, and there was the fearful funnel
shaped cloud which has so often been
described by the new: papers; but it was
small, its dimensions i.d not exceed
those of a big count.iy ash-hopper.
Thousands of small articles of house
hold furniture, tin pans, bits of chairs
and towels and table linen, books and
music, gyrating around in the air.
These things were not taken over thirty
feet high, but wcro carried right along
with the wliiiling wind.
"While this diminutive tornado was
spproaching 1 got the chii!;cns and the
children all in the Iiomd. I also had a
nice dog, Captain Jack. I tied him to
the leg of the tablo, but he got loose
and ran into the front yard jest as the
atmospheric revolver tore down the
fence and walked ir.'.r rr-.y grounds.
"As soon as tho injudicious dog got
sight of the cyclone he made a dash for
It. He was laiihful to bis trust. I
made up my mind there and thon to
erect a tablet over his tomb with that
inscript.on. However, ho was not
killed, but ho was made idiotio by the
terrible twirling and the fact of his
having been thrown thiough a straw
stack. His long hair was cork-screwed
In all diroctiens and it was stiffened
with fright. It has over since remained
as it was when tlie iittlo eye let loosu
of him. Captain Jack is now no longer
handsome. His disposition Is soured,
too, and our baby yells nuirdor when
ever the poor pup's blasted beauty
rreets his gazn."
