Northern Pacific Railroad to the effect
that all employees on the trains and At

"Take off everything but your pants
and shirt, and be on the platform

the stations he jumped from the train,
tape-lne in hand, aud shouted for the
agent. In response to bis call a hand
some young lady stepped forward, ac-
companied by bury SIX footer, who
announced that the lady was the
agent, and he was her brother, and
demanded an explanation Ct his dis
patch. The tailor explained as best
he could, and boarding the train tele
graphed from the next station. GLOW

wear shirts aud pants, and where are
they located? Answer quick"

A>ia's Floating Garden.
Philadelphia press.]

Among the most remarkable Illus
tratlons of human energy are certainly
the floating gardens IN Ka>hnir. in
Eastern Asia, the more so that they
are the work of an essentially INDECENT
population. For their creati N an ax-
panse OF water about nine miles in cir
conference has been utilized, on
which masses of weeds, grasses and
aquatic plants grow and become in
tertwined and entangled. These form
the soil, as 1t were, on which cu|tiva-
ton is carried on. Divisions are
made III them, they are cut level with
the surface Of the water and then
banked over with river mad, prop.
erly prepared for this purpose. This
soil is sown with melons and cucum-
Der plants, and crop is raised which
is unequaled in any country in GUAM
tity or quality. These melons and
cucumoers are sold in good season
at the rate of ten or twenty for two
cents; in dear seasons they bring two
cents apiece. Floating gardens in
Mexico are upon the same plan, but
are usually devoted to the culture Of
flowers.

A young man going journey, en-

man: when he came back the old man
denied having had any money depos-

fore the kazee.
Where were you, young man, when
you delivered this money!

tree, said the judge. Go young man,
and tell the tree to come hither, and
the tree will obey you when you show

No. said the old man, 'it is at some

A Tale of Telegraphic Ticking.

A well to do young man recently
married and started west on his bridal
tour. The happy young couple were
break fasting at station eating-house.
During the repast two smart Alexis
came into the eating room and seated
themselves opposite the contracting
parties. They were telegraph opera
tors. By delicate posing Of their knife
and fork they we're able to make sounds
I'D close imitation OF telegraphy!|in
the mystic language of the key one
said to the other:
'Ain't she daisy, thought
The party thus addressed replied by
clicking off:
Wouldn't like to kiss ler, the lit
tie fat angelH
Wonder who that old bloat is that
she has married?'
Some gorgeous granger, | reckon
replied the other.
e The groom stood it until fol bearance
ceased to be a virtue, when he also
balanced his knife, and click, click it
went in rapid succession. 1t was
intelligible to the very cute twain
that had recently made fun of its auth
or. When interpreted it read:
DEAR SIRs:-1 am superintendent
of the telegraph line upon which you
work. You will please send your time
to headquarters and resign your posi-
tions at once. Yours.

A Motor that Will Supersede Steam.

Coal, one of the leading journals of
practical science in England, makes
known a discovery that, if as represent
ed, will work as great a revolution in
employment OF power as Keeley's mo-
tor would, were it to do all he promi-
ses. The journal in question says:
"A new motor has been discovered
which, it is claimed, will supersede
steam. The material from which the
energy is generated is bi sulphide of
carbon, which is utilized as a motor
agent in the form of vapor, and the
advantage claimed for it over steam is
that, while water expands in the ratio
of one cubic inch to l, ZOO, bi-sulphide
of carbon has an expansion property
OF only one to 5000. When the vapor
is generated it passes into the steam
chest OF the engine and moves the pis-
ton rod A pipe attachment to the
engine conveys the exhaust vapor di-
rectly through condenser back to
the tank in its original liquefed form
to be generated. The system of gene
ration and condensation is similar to
the heat action, and, with machinery
properly constructed, it is claimed
that a single supply Of bi-sulphide of
carbon can be used with REINFORCE
ments for an indefinite period. The
cost of fuel is trifling, it being claim
ed that from the peculiar properties
of the bi sulphide an ordinary house
fire can develop power sufficient to
run an ocean steamer. Water boils at
212o, and it takes 3200 of heat to
make steam available, while the new
agent takes the form of vapor at 1902.

Volume XXXIX.---No. 40.
A Remarkable Midget.

Mrs. Marion Poe, the wife of promi-
hent merchant OF Chattanooga. Tenn,
on Mar. Is gave birth to child which
is almost without parallel for dimin-
utiveness, the little creature weighing
only one and "a half pounds at its
birth. The entire bodyis not as large
as the forearm of an ordinary person.
| 1t is but eleven inches long, and in
no portion Of it's body is it more than
six inches in circumference. Its head
is no larger than large English wal.
INIT. Its arEi iookslike al mans little
finger, and the leg like like the center
finger. Its hand is not as large as a
five cent piece. The child is perfect
ly formed, and its entire physical or
ganization is complete in every detail.
Its head is covered with all the hair
usually found OF one so young, and in
all particulars it differs in nothing
from an ordinary child except in size.
In answer to the question whether it
cries, Mr.. Poe SAYS: eff you had seen
me walking the floor last night to
quiet it, you would not ask the ques-
ton. 1t cries as loudly and Justify as
any child l ever saw
The mother was asked regarding its
nourishment, and replied: 1T takes
its nourishment perfectly natural, and
has a most voracious appetite. The
child is doing well. To show you the
size of its arm | will take this plain
gold ring from my little finger and
slip it over the child's arm to the ell
bow, and, suiting the action to the
word, tie ring, which was very small,
slipped over the forearm with the ut
most ease. Mrs. Poe is lady weigh
ing about 125 pounds; her husband is
robust and healthy, and is fully six
feet tall; has six children; two by his
present wife, the eldest of the latter,
when born, weighing 5 pounds four
ounces. She is now years old and
fully grown for her age. She is won-
derfully precocious and has remarka-
BILE intelligence. Small children were
never before born to his or his wife's
family.
