Water as a Railway Motive Power.

a newspaper correspondent, writing
from Switzerland, tells OF curiou
railway as follows 1.-THE picturesque
and practical are often curiously utter
mixed. CLEAN a few particulars of
funicular railway which connects Ter
ritet (Chillon) and Glion. The rail
way, which is on steep incline, some
think after the style of tho one up
Mount Vesuvius, commences at an
angle of 30 degrees and soon increases
to 81 degrees. 1t is single line with
a loop as passing place half way.
There are two carriages on the line,
one of which ascends while the other
descends. The ascending carriage is
drawn by the force of gravity of the
one. which is descending, the latter be-
ing weighted by reservoir placed I'M
derneath being filled with water. The
reservoir is emptied as soon as the car
riage has made the descent. The two
vehicles are connected with each other
by means of u wire cable, which pass
es over a wheel at the summit of the
incline. BY the passenger remark
able illusion is experienced. Trees,
huts, houses, rocks, all seem to be
bent back. rs though by some enchant-
ment. They are apparently standing
out of the perpendicular, and one can
scarcely help wondering that they do
not topple over. The deception is due
TO the seats of the carriages, which are
constructed at such an angle that, not
withstanding the steepness of the gra-
dent, the occupant preserves his ordi-
nary upright sitting posture. The line
is 743 yards long. and the difference
between the level and its base and
that of its summit is 9S4 feet"

She was in this condition when friend re-
commended DR.. VIM. Halls Balsam for the

An Annetitc for Nice.

Some wonderful stories are being
told about one Of Bridgeport's charac-
tiers, a fellow named Joe Lander,
whose life has been spentin rowing all
over the globe. Years ago Joe shipped
before the mast on Norwegian bark
bound from Lisbon to South America,
and was shipwrecked on barren is
land which forms one of the group of
the Azores. With two others he
reached the land. There they found
nothing but shellfish on which to OK.
list. When these were exhausted the
sailors agreed to swim back to the
vessel and endeavor to obtain provi-
sions. Joe was the only one who
reached the wreck, the others having
become exhausted and gone down in
the sea. Joe managed to climb on
board that portion of the ship that
was out Of water, where he sank down
completely worn out. He lay in a
stupor for some time, and upon re-
turning TO consciousness he was covered
with rats and mice which had been
driven from their usual haunts by the
waves. In his desperation he seized one
of the mice and swallowed it without
the process of mastication. 1t pre-
duced peculiar sensation, but brought
renewed life, and as the story goes, he
lived on mice for a long time, as all
the provisions of the vessel were under
water and out of reach A passing
vessel finally relieved him from his
Imprisonment and landed him in
Liverpool. Afterward he drifted to
this country and engaged in various
means of making a livelihood. Now
he is in the employ of the Housatonic
Railroad. His duties are TO clean the
cars at The yard and in the houses in
the city. 1t is asserted that he still
INDUCES his strange appetite whenever
opportunity offers. Hurd's grain ele-
walton is infested with mice and affords
many meals to old Joe, it is said. The
little animals are caught by the en-
ployes and taken to Joe, who devours
one to satisfy his appetite, and stores
the remainder away between his fan
mel shirt and his body until hungry
again, when he will draw forth two
or three aud swallow them without a
wink. 1t is further related that the
eldest son inherits in a measure the
curious appetite of his queer old father.

A boy of fifteen years has managed to
kill himself by the use of tobacco in nine
months. He smoked and chewed exces-
sively in spite of the warning of parents
and friends. The fatal effects of tobacco
are not often so quickly demonstrated,

a staff correspondent of the Louisville
CdtTier- Journal, who has been investigating
theplague in Eastern Kentucky, reports that
the disease extends over a strip of country in
that State and Virginia about 20 miles wide
by so in length. 1t is most violent and wide
spread close to the highest mountains. He
estimates the number of deaths at from 800
to 1000, and says the disease is contagious.
DIR. J. B. Hubbell Field, Agent of the
American Association of the Red Cross, who
was recently sent to the afflicted region, has
written to Miss Clara Barton, President of
the Association, Just as he was about to leave
Rogersville Junction, Tennessee, for horse
ride through the epidemic district. He says:
Nothing definite is known as to the extent
of the epidemic, but all information shows
that it is quite extensive and fatal. Deaths
in one day in one neighborhood are reported
at twelve in number, and the mortality is
equally serious in other sections. All attribute
the disease to poisonous water. Of this
shall make such chemical examination as OPP
portunities permit, and shall send you sam
pies for more careful analysis. "
A posse in pursuit of the gang who robbed
Shelters iewelry store, in Baumansville, near

robbers were four in number-Abe Buzzard,
Joe Buzzard and two others. They were fir.
ed upon, and finally, Joe being separated
from the others, was captured and taken to
the Lancaster Jail. The other robbers es-
capped.
On Thanksgiving Day there was shooting

the elbow. He carries his gun strapped to
the stumps. To the trigger is fastened a
string which he pulls with his tongue. He
has quite reputation as marksman.
