1t is announced that Daniel Draw
baugh, the inventor, who claims to have
invented the telephone, is working out
something new in his workshop in Cum
herland county, Pennsylvania. He has
now an invention which he declares will
be most useful in time of war on land
and sea. 1t consists of an electrical con-
trivance by means of which the presence
of large bodies of troops on land or ships
on water can be detected within a dis
tance of ten miles. A general of the
army with this new contrivance in his
tent can, it is claimed, tell by its peculiar
motion If the enemy is near, and the
commander OF war vessel can also tell
the approach of any vessel, hostile or
otherwise, the resistance of the water to
the approaching vessel causing sufficient
friction to establish a current that will
cause the indicator to sound the alarm.

A Queer Sort of Watch.

While travelling through New York
state l came across what ! consider a
curiosity. The clerk of the Dibble house.
in Matteawan, N. Y, Mr.. Charles Sweet,
has watch he purchased from German
many years ago, who bought it in a
pawnshop in Germany at cost of not
quite 81, American money. The curious
part is, it never has been wound for eight
or nine years since he has had it, for two
reasons: First, it does not wind with a
key, nor is it stem winder, nor is there
any other mechanical means to wind it.
1t winds itself simply by the motion Of
the BODY while walking or natural motion
of the body during the day. 1t has an
hour and minute hand, also a second
hand, is solid silver, and has an indie
pendent second hand that registers the
number of hours it is wound. It also
has q peculiar centerpiece that, when
touched, places the hands backward OF
forward at will. No manufacturer
name can be found ON the works or in the
case; the only letters are on the works

LoDdon's Early Suburban Train.

The Chatham Railway company, of
London, recently began running a train
from st. Paul station, starting at 3:15 in
the morning. This was done to accom-
modate the night workers living in the
suburbs on that line. The experiment
was success from the start. and other
lines have followed suit. 1t strikes us
that this thing could be done in more
than one city in America. There are
thousands of men working in the even
ing who would prefer to live in the
suburbs, could they get accommodation
at the proper hour. The trains could re-
turn to the city almost Immediately, car
rying with them the marketmen and
their goods, and city sleepers would not
be disturbed as they are now by the
rattling of the market wagons coming in
town at sunrise. Chicago Times.

To lift 1000 pounds on the health lift
is no very remarkable feat for person
of average strength, giving sufficient
time daily for Il few months to practice.
Mr.. Blaikie learned in this way nc tho
age Of II, to lift 1000 pounds after only
six months practice Those who prefer
to lift an actually measured weight will
find it necessary to adopt somc such plan
as was employed by Topbam, preparing
framework to bear the weight and
standing in its midst, so as TO lift the
weight by means of symmetrically at
tached straps. For the body clnpot.
when at all aslant, bear such o weiS# as
1000 pounds.
Whether such exercise is good foy tho
body as whole depends good deal ON
the opportunities which man has for
correcting an abnormal development of
the lifting muscles BY means IT other ex-
ercises, increasing the development of
other muscles AID giving activity as well
as strength TO the frame. II Richard A..

4 The lady who is about to undergo the
dysing process Is stretched out at FUN
length on her back, and is not allowed
10 stir. The paste is put on the soles of
the feet. the toes included, about an inch
thick; the upper part OF the feet is never
dyed. Soft leaves are then applied, as a
covering, and the whole is tightly
wrapped in linen.
The same process is gone through with
the palm of The hand and the fingers. To
keep the application in place, the lady
must lie perfectly still all night, for no
other parts of the body must receive the
dye, and spot on the back of the hand
or the finger joints would be great dis
fgurement.
At this time she is dreadfully tcased by
swarnls Of mosquitoes ard flies, but she
dare not move to drive them away. In
the upper classes slaves watch all night
to keep away these pests with fans.
The same process must be repeated for
three nights 10 obtain the desired red
tint; but, once fAished. it remains for a
month, and cannot be washed out. can

Discretion the Better Part.

The best sort of courage is the kind
that goes with rapid estimate of chances
and still has some method in it. If Mr..
Smell, of Chicago, who heard the burg
lars at work in his basement, had, instead
of going down to them single handed,
but fired his revolver out of an upper
window to summon the neighbors and
the police, the sequel of that tragic story
might have been different.
Noise and the certainty of detection
always startle burglars, and give ebetter
chance to capture or even to shoot them,
if this is desired A good alarm above
stairs, notifying the thieves below that
the neignborhood was being fully aroused,
would have been much surer as we'll as
safer thing. The daring of Mr.. Lyman
Weeks, in Brooklyn, some time ago,
who went down into his basement un-
armed to grapple with a robber, may
have been display of fearlessness, but
surely was not wise. There are plenty
of opportunities in life for showing per-
sonal courage, but in dealing with ruff
fans, bent on fragrant crime and armed
for their work, it is better to let the po-
lice in TO help. A watchman's rattle is
about as practical weapon ON such oc-
casions as a sensible man or woman need
wish to have.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Georgian mud Circnssian.

The Georgian has beauty quite differ
ent from that Of the Circassian. The Cir
cassian is dazzling, queen like and stately.
She has a fair skin. She is elegant in
form. She is kindly and gentle in voice,
but lazy in movement and without spirit.
One of her own sex has said: "There is
no soul in II Crcassian beauty; and as
she pillows her pure, pale cheek upon her
small dimpled hand, you feel no inclina-
ton TO arouse her into exertion; YOU are
contentcd to look upon her and to con-
template her lovoliness." The Georgian
is creature with eyes like meteors and
teeth almost as dazzling as her eyes. Her
mouth does not wear the syecs rnd un.
ceasing smile of her less vivacious rival.
But the proud expression that sits spon
finely arched lips accords 80 well with
her stately form and lofty brow that you
do not seek to change its character

Grizzly and Buffalo.

When there were buffalo on tho plains
the Manitoba grizzlies were great hunters
of them. When n grizzly and buffalo
met there was always sure to be con.
test, but it seldom lasted long, and the
buffalo was usually the victim. The
buffalo would charge upon the bear,
which awaited the onset of his foe erect
on his launches. As the buffalo dashed
upon him the bear threw himself aside,
and with blow as quick as lightning
with one of his fore paws seldom failed
to break his antagonists neck. A grizzly
bear has been known TO engage in quick
succession four and even five big buffalo
bulls, and to kill every one of them. II
frequently happened however, that some
younger and more active bull than hi;
companions succeeded in evading the ia.
tai blow of the grizzlys terrible fore paw
long enough to give in turn fatal thrus

ing the vitals, and making of the confess
mutual slaughter.-Ncw York Sun.

How to Clean OFF Ice.

"This slow process of cleaning the ice
off the sidewalks by chipping at it with a
shovel or q hatchet makes me tired, ~
said a country bred citizen as he strug-
gled over mass Of fragments of ice,
some stuck fast and some loose. s'It
could be done ten times more quickly by
the use of an old fashioned wooden maui,
made by taking a log several feet long
and trimming it down to diameter OF
two or three inches for most of its
length. 1t should be of the original
thickness for about one foot or eighteen
inches from one end, and that should be
the business end. A few vigorous blows,
delivered without moving the maui from
the perpendicular, would smash the icy
covering of any sidewalk in New York
into loose fragments that could be moved
in few minutes. New York Sun.

The Professor,s Bli.sful Ignorance.

A Buffalo professor the other day was
enlightening his class on the subject of
geology, when one of the pupils came
forward, handed piece of rock candy
to the professor, and asked what it was.
The professor suggested that it was
probably a quantity of crystalline quartz.
whereupen the boy wondered at its being
so crumbly. The scientist then ventured
the opinion that the substance was car
Donate of lime. Some of the boys could
not refrain from giggling outright, but
the professor remained In blissful
ignorance of the joke.-Chicago News.
