Useful Inventions.

News of two inventions for the relief of suffering humanity reaches us from England, one of which Is most timely just at this season 1 the year. It Is an apparatus, worked by an electrical machine, which, when set in motion, dinuses . lovely breeze of salt Mnelling osone. It does not need . very large stretch of tho imagination to see how happily this discovery can be utilized in bell rooms, theatres, drawing rooms and other places where brilliant lighting is demanded and the atmosphere necessarily made oppres. hve and unhealthy. In conjunction with this discovery . Swedish physician has devised and established an institute in London where dummy steeds fitted with movements to pro duce the oscillatory motion of horseback exercise are furnished, and invalids for whom equestrian exercise has been prescribed can now close their eyes and imagine when mounted in this establishment that they arc being transported across the Egean sea on tho back of the time honored unicorn.-New York Mercury.

THE HOME OF THE BUNco MAN

Philadelphia Said to be Full of Them
 Just at Present.
 fHILApKLPnIA, Jan. 24-Philadslphia 24 has recently come into great favor as the base of operations for green goods" mon and ''bunco steerers" The mon have been driven from New York and Jersey City, and while their business is still conducted there, this city is selected as the place of meeting between the men and their intended victims. The faces of men only too we'll known as being criminals can nightly be seen in the crowds in the hotel lobbies, and daily dozens of these characters pass through the portals of the Broad street station.
 In their correspondence with their victims the latter are all d,rected to go to Philadel- phia, and when the swindler has been as- sured of the gultbiiity of his victim he takes transactions are made. All tslegrams are directed to be sent to Jersey City.
 The green goods" operator who was ar rested at the Colonnade hotel few days ago. and who gave his name as Edward White, is one of three brothers named Jones' who are the alleged leaders in the scheme His right name is Nathan Jones. In Newark he was arrested on the same charge, and gave the name of Nathan Sipple, but jumped his bail Detective Cosgrove, from that city, visited Moyamensing prison, and also identified White, who was committed there to await trial as Sipple
 Application was made in the United States district court for a writ of habeas corpus for Edward White, who is in custody on charge of using the mails to defraud in carrying on a ''grees goods' swindle. The hearing was set for Friday before Judge Butley. It would appear from tho above that Jones l White, Sipple or Green. or whatever the mans name may be- is e big chief in his line of business, and that all efforts possible are | to be made to secure bis release
