come when he was assisted by the elevator
boy. There were several narrow escapes.
About o'clock the roof of the Burling-
ton hotel fell in, carrying part Of that OF
the Grand. In "A short time the whole in
terror Of the Burlington was a complete
wreck, aud the front Of the Grand on Mar
ket street, together with the eastern end
adjoining the Burlington, was also ruin.
The western end was saved. The first
floor Of the Burlington on Second street
was occupied by c. II. Hirst, millinery

A Wonderful Sweeping Machine and an

a Wonderful Sweeping Machine and an
Automatic Rocking Chair.
A genius with profound thought
mill has taken up the subject of dusting
and sweeping by means of suction
draughts. He has a perambulating ma
chine which, by means OF fans and
hydraulic pressure, gets a draught
through spiral hose with q nozzle
shaped at its terminus like the trouble
end of trombone, He starts up
grand racket on the carpet till the dust
flies, then turns on this blizzard ma
chine and condensed cyclone is i'm
mediately precipitated. He moves his
hose end round like the snout OF Jer-
sey hog, and wherever the cloud OF dust
arises the suction of his mechanism
draws 1t, and it Immediately goes ''up
the spout" SO to speak. The idea Is all
right; the only difficulty which stands
In the way is the possibility Of his get
ting too big draught on and shooting
in stray leaves from the family text
book, odd socks or sisters bangs.
This idea, which is ch ronicled as an
invention in the Patent Office at Wash
ington, Is on a par with the rocking
chair which came out eight months ago,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The in.
ventor arranged under the rockers a
pair OF bellows attached to series of
pipes running up the chair back to about
whore your neck would rest. AS you
rocked the chair the bellows worked
and you were given hysterical breezes.
It worked all right for tho man who
could stand shower baths, but it cost
one furniture dealer know Of three
good customers by neuralgia, pneu-
monia and Group. In another case the
customer tried it and had to run a block
to catch his wig. It's q good idea,
though, but like ali those things,
you have to get some one to think so.
AS for myself, think the sweeping ma
chine would be better employed shoot
ing coal into cellar, and the man with
the bellows-rocker would make fortune
If he worked it up around the caves of a
roof and blew tho snow into the next
county instead OF down the back of the
neighbor who always gets under the
roof at the wrong time.
