There are few towns and eittes iu the coun try lu whioh there are not a number of houses whioh are said to be "out of style." They ure old stylo houses and will not bring the money that was out into them. It Is not good business to build a bouse that w 111 go Out of style. It la uot good business to put money where one cannot gat.lt ui:uni. Them are some things that do not go out of stj le. All such things are founded on common sense.

Keeper Uynies, which wits stipplenu'iiled by a long nnd ttcciiriito' scientific ilescrintion of the gulo lusctis, tistliisaniinul is called. What is particularly gratifying is tho fact that this pair, now in possession of the Philadelphia Zoological garden, is tne only pair known to bo in captivity, and for that matter no other garden has even a single specimen. BOMK NATl ltAL IIIHTOIIV. Tltn animal la-longs to tlio badger family and is cMreniely shy ami retiring in disposition, it is a habitant of the entire northern hemisphere nnd is not very plentiful in nny locality. It has been known to zoologists for it long time, yet about it hnvo been relatwi mori'tnnr velotis tales than even of the salanian.lor or chameleon. All over t lui world where it U found nntivo hunters tell incrediblo tales of its teroet'y and voracity. As far bac k as lobs! tUnf ilaginiis, it Scandinavian writer, mentions the Wolverine and tells how,' after gorging itself with f,M),l, it ill try iu siiirt-zc iiseit nirweeii two closely growing trii-s to enablo it to digest it's uieaU, after which if, will ngain return to devour more, Every district marly gives it a name and it is indiscriminately called tho In dian devil, the glutton, tho ijuiik hutch, the carcajou. I.iiiuii'us descriljcs tho animal under the nanui of tho ono eyed glni ton, and the term one eyed is Mipia.sed to hnvo come from tho fact that tho only speci men he ever saw or heard deseriljcd was wind m one eyo. Tlio western triipjsTs givo tho wol verine a reputation for craftiness, t im ning and general duvilishni'ss eijualed bv no oiner annual. They claim that it will fight worso than a grir..ly bear. In fact, a scout of Superintendent Uiowu's described to him a light between a wul verino and a she grizzly with two half grown cubs, in which tho wolverine conquered its opponents, and declared that ho witnessed tlio whole buttle from a treo. Of course tlio shyness and suspicious ness of tho animal has much to do with theso tales, but there is no doubt that it is fur moro powerful than otto would suspect from its sizo, which is a bout that of a hulf grown setter dog. It 4s a terror lotrnpiiera from tho way it will eteul tho bait from their traps, and if camjht will fight desperntvly.

Philadelphia Times. Startling Promises Made nf Jtesults (,ouiu from a New lani tlon. For fifty years electrieians have boen trying to dlsooMir a method of convert ing heat directly into elwtrlcitv. Until recently no results of commercial value liavo been obtained. Such a method teems now to have boon discovered or in vented by ii young man from Maine, H. D, Cox, If Mr. Cox's claims nro just and capitalists have contidetico enough m them to have funned n company with it capital of l,(ilKI,tH)0 the whole sys tem of power and lighting will bo revo lutionized and steam will bo regarded as bH expensive for ordinary nseg. It is imjKissible to estimate, iu advance the immense viiltio of Mr. Cox's Invention, but It is certain that he oxiwets almosti incrediblo results from it, nnd tluit ho has inspired with Ins conlidonce sonto of the shrewdest business men of Hartford nnd Boston. As ban been said, n company has been organized and incorporated In Maine, where Mr. Cox was when some Hartford men met him. Since then the business has all 1m vii brought to Hartford, and all that has been done sinco hus been donoHt (he factory of tho Pratt & Cody company. The capital stiK'k .is $1,000, WW, and none of it is now forwilo. All the patents asked for by Mr. Cox hnvo ls-on allowed, and they will lie issued in a'fewdays. Until foreign and domestic, patents have been npnlied fuss The apparatus used for converting the hent into electricity is so simple that the company does not dignify it by tho name of machine. JJy Mr. Cox's method heat is changed to electricity as simply as water is changed to steam. His furnace is all that may be mm. From glowing foul comes the subtlo current, without the aid of boiler, engine, or dynamo. A jet of gas can bo made to run a dental machine, a sowing mnehlne and any thing which requires no more power than these. Xo power bus over been discov ered that is half so cheap ns will lie electricity obtained by this now process. This has ls-en tho dreiifn apimreutly imtKissiblo of rwiliznlioii of all eleo. trieiann, and eveti tho wizard of Monlo Park has almost despaired of its evor Wing bnmglit alsmt. Vet a young man, only s!8 years of ago, seem-i to have solved the puzzling problom. IJefore the company was formed Mr. Cox had a furnace at homo by which he ran many electric lights. This furnace was injured iu being transform! to Hart ford, and a new one of tlio same nlze is being ma le. hxisTiiuentH and private exhibitions have boon conducted hereon a smaller si-ale, but thocompuny intends to show to the world that with the pwer thus obtained anything that steam or cWtricity now il,-s may Ihi done. B,.y. end meiiil-rs of tlio company saw what could bo dull with the furnace nf Mr. Cox brforu any alli nipt was inado to remove it.
