New Use for Ilamna.

A French inventor has applied the
miniature electric incandescent lamp to
watch dials; the current being supplied
by a small pocket battery. The dial is
ground glass and the lamp behind it
lights it up; the effect being enhanced
by a fiat reflector. A key is included in
the circuit to close the current when
the light is required. The apparatus is
equally applicable to clocks.

Making Electric Wire Harmless.

A device has been tested in Cincin-
natl for rendering broken electric
wire harmless to any one who may come
in contact with it. This is dn instru-
ment attached to each of the main
wires leading from the generators and
by its action, whenever a break in the
wire occurs, the current is checked and
an alarm bell as sounded. Its operation
SO far, is reported satisfactory, and If it
continues to do the work intended it
will certainly lessen the dangers from

Fulgham had entered the corridor, and
was bringing the prisoners their blankets
which had been hung out during the
day in the jail yard for the purpose OF
being aired when they suddenly pounced
upon him, overpowering and disarming
him. Fulgham says heIcaled loudly for
assistance, but he was not heard until
the prisoners were over the walls, and
on the high road to freedom.
That the plan Of escape was coolly
premeditated and concocted affair before
hand, the subsequent carrying out leaves
no doubt. Last night was a good one for
travelling purposes, and the armed pris-
oners could easily put sixty miles be-

Hope dwells eternal in the human

realize this fact to-day as they are en-
joying the sweets of liberty, and the
county bastile is short two boarders,

When the news was noised abroad at
dusk last evening that the above men
toned prisoners had disarmed the Jailor
and walked cody out OF prison as it were,
it sounded so much like huge chestnut
that a MERCURY reporter was dispatched
to the Jail to learn the true inwardness
Of the strange affair.
The news was true. Jim Fulgham
was there minus his pistol, and the for
bidding old bastile loomed up in its u.s.
ual old place minus the two prisoners
aforesaid. The Jail birds had flown, and
the guards at the prison were wondering
where they had gone to and a few citi
izens excited by curiosity were helping
them to wonder.
This is one OF the strangest jail deliv-
cries that has ever come under our no
tice. In the gathering gloom Of the
January evening, two prisoners charged
with capital offenses put out from be-
hind the bars an no man says them
nay.
