nodded anxiously. not cOmprehending what
he was saying, but only eager to be by my
grandfathers side. We hastened through sew
eral passages, all deserted, and indicating the
confusion into which the house was thrown. In
the corridor outside Sir Martins room all the
servants were collected. They made way for
us. but seemed in no degree surprised at our
sudden appearance together. Ainslie opened
the door, and led me softly in.
The old mans sight was failing. and to suit it
the spacious dark-pannelled room was lit with
numerous candles, which yetfailed to dispel the
gloom. My grandfather was greatly changed.
His face was wan and drawn; but the shadow Of

look Of anxiety and doubt that possessed his
features. There was some one standing by his

The speaker advanced cut Of the shadow of

1ynnville's Dead Hog.

Lynn went for US pretty severely
last week. Let US state the point
at issue: He says q hog weighing
100 pounds alive weighed 200
killed. The statement is its own
refutation, as it is an assertion of a
physical impossibility. Lynn says
that fat hog draws air into its
lungs, and the fat, the carbon of
the blood and the hydrogen of the
air generate carbonic acid gas
that sustains part of the weight of
the hog. When a hog dies this
gas no longer generates and hence
it weighs more. Apply the same
theory to a man, and the fatter he
gets the more blood and the more
carbon he has and the air generates
gas faster, and the fatter he gets
the lighter he gets until he is drawn
up in the clouds and goes spinning
off to glory. The reason we never
have this phenomenon demonstra-
ted is because the man always goes
up before he has a chance to tell it.
Lynn will do the world service by
his revelations. 1t is warning to
boys not to draw in too much
breath when they go to jump or
they never may light. A felon Oh the
gallows has now only to draw in
breath, leap into the ambient air,
jerk the gallows up by the roots and
go skimming off to glory with an
neck. All, if Caesar had
known Lynn's patent secret he
need not have duplicated Cassius
to help him ere he sunk, but he
could have inflated his wind bags
and sDatched himself from the rag
ing Tiber with such force that the
suction would have drawn its waters
up in his train and left Cassius
stranded in its dry and desolate
bed. But let us make little cal
oulation. A balloon that will carry
1000 pounds carries 10000 feet of
yas-150 feet to the pound. That
hog might possibly hold one square
loot of gas and that would raise !
L-I50th pounds. Or reverse the
figures: if his one foot OF gas will
.aise ten pounds then a balloon as
arge as barrel can go scooting off
With a barrel of horse shoes swung |
IN to it. We conclude therefore
hat the only use we have for gas
n solving this matter is TO fill up
lynn himself and when you take
he gas out of his theory it is as
labby as a bursted bladder. By
1ynn's own theory the hog will
grow lighter instead of heavier.
The moment life is extinct decom-
position commences and the decom-
posing matter generates a gas that
swells the carcass until it
,ursts. OF course it lightens it
Until it bursts out, but to an extent
10 infinitesimal that the most deli
ate scales could not detect it. Try
mother theory, Lynn. We have
me.

that the Fire Commissioners are not
compelled to test some new plan.
A good deal of room is taken up in
the patent Office with the models of
these contrivances.
A very good example of the
eagerness with which capital can
be secured to promote the most
chimerical ideas may be seen in the
story of the Keely motor. he stock
holders have been pretty thorough
ly bled already, but are compelled
to bleed still more in the hope of
saving what they have already ex
pended. The varying fate of cap
ital invested is seen in the contrast
ing results of the two steam heat
ing companies In New York city,
one Of which has proved a most
lamentable failure while the other
has had measure of success. 1t
is not certain that money invested
under ground will always return a
fair interest. 1t may be necessary
to incur great expense when an un-
der ground cable gives out, as the
whole route may have to be dug up
to find the break.
Accidental discoveries have sup
piled some of the most valuable
processes of the industrial arts. 1t
is said that the rolling of cold iron
was first suggested by the fact that
a workman who was placing piece
of hot iron in the rolls carelessly
permitted his tongs to be drawn in.
He noticed that they were rolled,
and not broken. He called the at
teDtion of the superintendent to the
occurrence, and this led to investi
ga ion and experiment and the dis
covery that cold rolled iron is equal
to steel for shafting purposes. The
process of rolling cold iron was soon
afterward patented, and millions of
dollars have been made out of the
patent.
There are many'similar instances
where observing workmen have
called attention to valuable process
ses. A signal one was in the early
period of the cotton manufacture,
when a good deal of trouble was
caused by the cotton sticking to the
bobbins. All the workmen in the
mill were delayed by the necessity
of stopping work to clean the bob
bins. At last one workman found
a way to obviate the trouble. He,
and he alone in all the mill had
clean bobbins For long time he
kept his secret to himself He fl
nally revealed it on the promise of
a pint OF beer day for life. His
secret was to chalk the bobbins.
That little scraping of chalk on the
bobbins saved millions of dollars a
year, and the observing workman
got not. only beer but a competence.
Each extension of modern enter
prise and skill brings with it a
train of inventions. The railway,
the telegraph, the steamboat, the
development of iron, electricity,
and petroleum have each produced
a long line of inventors more or
less successful so that each of these
industries mi hit have creditable
exhibition by misunderstanding

Last summer Gen. Sherman made
his last annual inspection of the
military posts of the army, and a
good story is told by one of his
staff officers of his visit to one OF
the western frontier forts. When
the general arrived there was a
large crowd of Indians on hand to
look at the Big Chief of the
pale faces" as they call him.
After they had looked him over to
their hearts content, one of them
approached and said, ugh, big
Indian heap want present cannon"
Gen. Sherman glanced at the brave
and replied: Il cannot give you a
cannon. What do you want them
for? You mean to use them against
my soldiers" Now, an Indian Is

The recent rapid growth of Knox
vile, in this state, illustrates the
value of railroads and manufactures
to city. Within less than two
years communication has been open
ed with Louisville by the compile
ton of the Knoxville 81 Ohio rail-
road to the state line, and it's con-
nection there with the Louisville d
Nashville system; and connection
has also been made with the North
and South Carolina roads by the
finishing of the branch road from
Morristown by the way of Warm
Springs and Asheville, N. G. A
number of extensive manufacturing
enterprises have been put in opera
ton and new life and energy infus-
ed into old concerns, giving the
city 1877 establishments of produc-
tive industry, employing 3,5l7 hands
with $5,25S, 500 capital invested,
paying wages annually amounting
TO $I,627, 4S3. The trade of the
merchants has been more than
doubled in the same time, and the
population has increased from
1893 in 1880 to fully 10000 at the
present time. AS an evidence of the
continued prosperity of the town, it
is estimated that the new buildings
to be erected during the coming
twelve months will cost ST. 100000
among which will be a 100000 ho-
tel, to be built by northern capital

The National Banks.

On September 80, the bonds sup
porting the bank circulation were
1858, 57S,150. OF this amount, 1902
237, $50 was in three per cents.
Consequently the redemption of
these will extinguish the larger
part of the bank circulation. This
may be expected to happen within
the next two years, unless the sur
plus revenue of the government is
abolished forthwith. Hence the
problem of the currency should be
9rappled with and solved before the
three per cents are redeemed. The
amount of bank notes now outstand-
ing is about 352 millions; but a
good part of this will be destroyed
the moment the notes are sent to
Washington, for the bonds now held
against the circulation justify the
issue of but $3iS,3O7, 935 in the
notes. What circulates above that
sum-about $34, 200, O69---is not
supported by bonds, but by lawful
money on deposit in the treasury
for that purpose. Consequently, we
are on the eve of a contraction
which endangers, not the national
banks, but the business interest of
the country. The steps to be taken
towards relief, is to repeal the sur
plus revenue of the government.
