TROOP BIS PET.
The Mastif Pup "Trumpet" is Mustered
Into the Service of the State.

Trumpet" is the new canine charge of
Troop u, N. q. d. She is a large and
beautiful thoroughbred English mastiff
pup, Just three months old Her lineage
is the most aristocratic in the State, being
one OF the imported Rudolph stock. The
new pet Of the regiment" was duly mus
tered into the service of the State and of
Troop b three weeks ago. She is now on
the roster and is entitled to and gets her
rations daily.
She is already nominated to promotion
as corporal or to some other non-comnis-
stoned office. Notwithstanding the scdate
and almost judicial expression that belongs
to dogs OF her breed, she is the most whim-
steal and oddest canine imaginable. While
the cavalrymen are off duty she is sedate
and dlgnified, and does not often encourage
familiarity.
But in the assembly hall when the long
line of parade stretches from one end of
the great hall to the other Trumpet slowly
waddles in her lank ramshackle way to-
the commandments position of review;
There she will sit Upright with all the
composure of a Bismarck or AIoltke and
calmly and critically gaze, inspecting the
alignment. She betrays no emotion what
ever. The clank Of sabres and spurs is what
she expects. But all understood that she
is expectantly awaiting the development
Of something. Suddenly the bugler steps
forward and toots the old rcveille:
al can't get en- up!
can't get 'em upl
can't gel en- up in the morning"
Then 'Trnmpet's' lustrous black ewes
deepen and the hard lines of her face relax.
But the only definite indication of her
notice Of what has occurred is the slightest
kind of a wsg from the tip end Of her tail.
As if satisfied she then slowly limbers up
into position again and sidles OFF in an
inimitably odd way to her quarters.
Trumpet" has thus sisnificd her approval
of that DAYS review.

A SUICIDE MACHINE.
Colorado's Murderers May Become
Their Own Executioners.
TIE INVENTION OF A CONVICT.
In ninute and half After Stepping on
the Trap 1t Falls.
A DIAL MEASURES OFF THE TINE.

DENVER, COL, Feb. 2S.-Colorado's law
makers will, at this session OF the Assembly,
take hand in adopting some late device
for the execution of human beings, and
may accidentally adopt some means superior
to the electric method now in use in New
York.
Recently plan was invented by one of
the convicts serving term in the Colorado
Penitentiary at Canon City, by which
James Joyce a condemned murderer e1-
ecuted himself. Now bill has been intto-
duced in one the Houses asking that this
system of suicide be legal;zed and adopted
as the means OF carrying out the sentence of
capital punishment, with an excellent
chance OF its becoming a law. The problem
the inventor has ATTEMPTED to solve was to
devise some means by which the victim, by
his own act, would let the weight fall and
hang himself This problem has been
solved by the methods described in this
article.
Details of the Machine.
A square platform, about three inches
high, was placed in the center of the floor.
This platform is set over spring, which
bends down about half an inch under the
weight of a man. 1t is the descent of this
platform that pull the Jerk" that releases
the weight. But it has been so arranged
that minute and half elapses between the
time that the man steps upon the platform
and the time the weight falls.
"A a closet there are two square buckets,
one above the other. The upper bucket,
when it is full of water, weighs 40 pounds.
1t rests upon the end of beam that moves
up and down on an axis. AT the other end
of the beam rests loosely an iron ball, which
weighs 29 pounds. This ball is attached
loosely 10 the rod that regulates the large
weight in the wooden pipe.
In window in the wall of the death
chamber is a dial A hand on the dial is
attached by a string to a Aoat in the lower
bucket. As the water rises in the lower
bucket the hand moves from right to lett
across the face of the dial. 1t takes about a
minute and a half to run across from one
side to the other.
Waiting for Death to Come.
When the victim steps upon the platform
the descent of the spring moves a rod that
pulls q stopper and permits the water to
trickle down from one bucket to the other. AS
the upper bucket becomes lighter it rises and
the weight at the other end of tine
beam lowers at the same time the float in the |
lower bucket rises as the water pours in. |
The hand begins its progress across the dial. |
Tha upper bucket continues to ascend and |
the position of the weight at the other end |
of the beam becomes every moment more |
precarious. The weight trembles there; the |
hand has well nigh made its journey across
the dial. Suddenly the weight slips off the
beam. 1t tails. By that fall it pulls the
long arm that regulates the heavy weight in
the wooden pipe.
The big weight falls with crash and the
man is ierked into the air.
He has executed himself
