A Rival for the Pc lomet,r.

The pedometer's life OF usefulness
seems to be very seriously threate ned
by new French invention for record
ing speed and distance travelled by
man. beast Or vehicle. The inventor,
E. J. Marcy, of the Institute Of France.
has devised very simple machine to
which the name odograph has been
81 ven. It draws or traces curve on
a travelling band Of paper. which is a
register of the speed with which a
person walks or vehicle moves The
recording mechanism is not at all COM
plicated and is not likely to get out OF
order. 1t consists OF cylinder covered
with ruled paper and revolved by
clockwork. On this stylus actuated
by a wheel which traverses the ground
marks the trace. and the stylus moves
at rate proportional to the wheel,
while the paper moves past it at right
angles with a velocity proportional to
the time. The slope OF the trace 10 q
record OF the speed. The odograph is
capable OF being adapted to special
purposes, such as measuring the speed
OF soldiers on the march. the rate that
railroad trains travel, or the time
made by race horses on the track, and
it is thought that in the more general
use which promises to be made OF this
instrument it will be found to meet
accurately numerous purposes for
which some such recorder has been
needed.

Before We Turn to Dust.

St. Louis Republic: How long will
human body remain in the earth be-
fore it decays until 1t can not be dis
tinguised from the surrounding clays,
is a question as yet undecided by the
scientists Much depends upon the
character Of the soil and the different
clements OF which 1t is composed. In
countries abounding In limestone, or,
again, In regions thoroughly saturated
with alkaline waters, human flesh will
retain natural color and firmness for
an indefinite period of time. The bogs
OF ireland have yielded up bodies, fresh
and natural as life, that had been buried
in their slimy depths for centuries It
is said to be an historical fact that the
bodies of three Roman soldiers were
found in peat bog on the Emerald Isle
in the year 1869 A. D, fresh and

A WONDERFUL MEMORY,

Could Recite any Speech He Had
onoe Heard.
Karl Szabo. the Oldest and most re-
markable OF Hungarian actors, who
died in a hospital in Pesth, a few
weeks ago, was in N my respects one
of the most phenomenal men on the
continental stage, and had behind him
career OF almost unparalleled vicissi-
tudes. He made his debut just fifty
five years ago. Within few years he
became celebrated throughout Hun
gary as the most finished light come
dian in the land. His art, however,
was far from being the first
cause of the greatness OF his
reputation. He had wonderful mem
mory. After listening to speech or
sermon or ordinary conversation he
could reproduce every sentence OF it
without emitting 1.-The" IAN" or ..a."
He often passed an hour or two in the
provincial parliament to hear the de-
bates of the members notorious for
their mannerisms In the evening he
would reproduce with perfect mimicry
the most quaint and curious passages
from the parliamentary discussion OF
the day. Whenever he was at the the a.
ter in the provincial capital the repre-
sentatives and other political big-wigs
crowded the boxes every night to hear
Szabo poke fun at them.
Szabo made tours through all parts
of Hungary and several ueighboring
countries. and learned vast number
OF dialects. He was for some time on
the Serviau stage, where he repeated
all the triumphs he had celebrated in
his native land. In the Sos he lost his
wife, woman Of remarkable beauty
and intelligence. He had passed an
ideal married life with her, aud was
completely unnamed by her death.
He began to retrograde slowly in his
profession. His memory was weaken
ed by grief and dissipation. He be-
came victim of melancholia and
physical disease. His death had been
expected to occur almost any moment
during the last three or four years, and
was welcomed by the theatrical world
Of Hungary, which had known him in
his better days.

CONFIDENCE DESTROYED.

Effect Of the Tariff Law on American Secu-
rites In London.
LONDON, Oct. 12.-Commenting on the
condition of the market for American secu-
rites the past week, the Economist says:
1.-The most marked feature of the stock sx-
change has been the collapse in American
railway securities which is in large measure
justified by recent events. The Mckinley
tariff law will increase railroad expenses
and may reduce trafics, whilst it will be
difficult to compensate for it by advancing
rates. Some American securities have re-
Gently become almost unstable. The conf
dence of investors and spectators is nearly
completely destroyed"
The Observer, in the course Of similar
comments, says; "The public has been 80
badly bitten, it will take time to re~ore
confidence. Stocks are doubtless getting in
to stronger hands, but neither here nor in
New York is the future regarded with GER
tainty. The results of recent legislation on
commerce and finance must be awaited"

What "Burg0o" Is.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Bur
goo," explained Colonel James Orr. of Gov
ington. lis one of the oldest Kentucky
dishes we have. No one knows who first
made .burgoo,' nor does any one know
where or how it got its queer name. Burr
GOO is an out-of- door creation, and pots of
'burgoo' have simmered over hot fire in
the sun at every big political gathering in
the state since Henry Clay was a boy, and
years before that, too. It is not
only an extremely palatable dish, if
you can call it that, but it's very nourish-
ing. 'Burgoo' is GROSS between stew and
soup. It is always made in the open air.
The 'burgoo' the "Blades of Grass ate to-
day was very rich. How was it made? WE'LL
l took a big caldron, put some red-pepper
pods in the bottom, added some potatoes,
tomatoes and corn; then put in half dozen
prairie chickens, az many more tender vel
low legs and a couple of dozen soft shell
crabs. I'd have added some young
squirrels, but they could not be
obtained. When everything is in read
mess there is enough water put into the
cauldron to just make the contents float.
Then it is put on the lire. It must be al
lowed to simmer slowly for six hours and
must be stirred constantly with hickory
stick. hickory stick is best and is always
used, but another might do as we'll. When
| 1t is nearly done it may be favored to suit
the taste. 1t is done when the meats are
thoroughly shredded, not before. When it
is done-Umr' and Colonel Orr's eyes
