A CRAFTY INVENTOR.

The Reward IIc a ikcd for Inventng tho
ChcsSDo ri.
It's related of the inventor of the
game of chess that, on being promised
by the king WHOM he first taught the
game that he should have any reward
he might ask for, he 11ccilly replied
that he would be content if the king
would give him one kernel of wheat on
the first square, two Oh the second, four
on the third, eight on the fourth, and
so on, doubling up to the siXty-fourth
square. The king gladly nccodcd to
this seemingly modest request, and
ordered his attendants to briny in the
wheat, which they began to do; but, to
the establishment Of tho monarch, it
was found that there was not wheat
enough i'll the whole dominion to pay
of the crafty inventor. a rnathcma-
tician who claims to have boon ii rurinr
on this chcssboard curiosity says that
TO fulfill tho kings promise it would
take G0O27, 0J7, 184, 49, bushels of wheat
allowing 100000 kernels to each
bushcl. This prodigious amount would
cover the states of New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey and Delaware
all over with wheat to the depth Of n
milo and quarter. In n few words
hcrc Is the exact number of wheat
kernels the chess inventor asked for

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
a Case Which Vv1thstood All Tests to De-
tect Fraud.

tect Fraud.
My first acquaintance VITA the nara
tive dates from my boyhood, says q
writer in Chambers Journal. About
the time of the occurrence l heard it re-
lated 10y my father; and his authority
was the well-llnown Gen. Avitable.
Runjeet Singh's right-hand man, who
was present at the facts. Those facts
arc that a certain ''joghec," Q1indu an
chorite). said to possess the power of
suspending ut will and rcsuming the
animation of his body, was sent for by
Runjcct Singh, and declining to obey
was brought by force into the tyrants
presence and ordered to give under pain
of death practical proof of his sup
posed power. lie submitted pcrforcc.
Hc was put by his disciples through GER
tain processes, during which he becamc
perfectly unconscious: the pulse ceased,
his breath did not stain Il polished mir
ror, and 4 European doctor who was
present declared that the heart had
ceased to beat. To all appearances he
was as dead as Queen Anne.
In this state he was put in n carefully
made box, the lid closed and scaled with
Runjcct Singh's own signet ring. The
box was buried in Il vault prepared in
an open plot of ground under the royal
window ut Lahore, and the place was
guarded day and night by Runjeet's
own guards under Gen. Avitablc'S own
supervision. Sun and rain came and
grass sprung up, grew and withered on
the surface over the grave, and the SEN
tries went their rounds, and the joghec's
disciples and friends were all kept un-
f,,1 70 ~
imprisonment. After forty days, in
Runjcct Singh's own presence, the vauls
was uncovered and the box extracted
from it with it's seals intact. 1t was
opened and showed the joghee within
precisely as he had been placed. He
was taken out, dead still to all appear
ance, but the body incOrrupt. His dis
ciplcs were now brought to manipulate
the body in the manner which he had
taught them and which he had pub
licly explained before his burial. He
revived as he had said he would, and
was soon in as perfect health as when
he had suspended his life! lie refused
all gifts and retired to his former re-
treat, but shortly afterward he and his
disciples disappeared. 1t was not safe
for such man to live in the jurisdiction
of SO inquisitivc and arbitrary a ruler.
Runjcct Singh cared little for humGn
life, which was his toy or PLAY ching. no
one who knows his historical character
will for moment admit that he would
let himself be deceived or played upon
in the matter on which he had set his
heart. Zach sccnc-thc suspension of
life, the burial, the disintcrmcnt, the
rcviving = took place in the tyrant's
own presence and before hundreds of
spectators, in open daylight and with
every prccaution that absolute dcspotic
power could command. Runicct cared
little whether the man lived or died, SO
that his own curiosity was gratificd.
The guards under the palace windows
commanded by Avitablc would be anX
ious solely TO carry out Runjeet Singh's
wishes.

the Democrats are almost certain to
have over eighty-five of the 100 men,

elections, while the Republicans &io
glad that it was no worse. a member
OF tho Cabinet, who objects to being
quoted, said to-day that the Republican
managers in New York completely ig-
nored the Administrator during the
! recent fight in spite of the fact that
| they were warned against the Anti
Iammany issue in the rural districts.
Republicans in Northern New York
appealed to Platt and his lieutenants to
send some speakers into that section
who could tell the farmers something
about the effect of the McI\inly bill on
eggs, barley and similar products which
come into competition with Canadian
productions. The President is alleged
to have suggested thai it would be bet
ter to inject national issues into the
campaign with view to arOuSing the
interest Of the voters in the counties
outside of New York and Brooklyn.
His ideas were repeated to Mr.. Platt,
but he paid no attention to the friendly
suggestions. Hence there appears to
be but little sympathy for the downfall
OF Fassett in Administrator circles.

not cast down because Campbell was
defeated In Ohio. While they wanted
the courageous Governor to win they
realized that he had remarkable odds
against him. Congressman McKin-
ney, Of New Hampshire, who took
an active part in the recent cam
paign, says that the whole weight of
the Administration was thrown into
Ohio to help Mckinley. The returns
show falling off in the Republican
vote in the manufacturing centres,
while they gained in the agricultural
districts, thus showing the people were
affected by the course Of events since
the passage Of the Mckinley bill. The
operatives in the mills voted against
Mckinley because his bill did not in
crease their wages, and the farmers
were disposed to favor it because they
are getting better prices for their crops,
anG imagine the bill has something to
do with that pleasant fact.
Congressman Mills expressed his re-
grcts that Governor Campbell was not
re elected, but, said he, yesterdays fight
settled beyond dispute that the Demo >
Gratis must throw aside all Obher issus
and make square contest with tn1S
Republicans on the tariff question. TO
do that they should select Cleveland IS
their standard-bearer, and it is probable
that the Republicans will nominate
Mckinley. In that event thero would
be no room to drag in the silver or any
other outside issues, but cOniinG the
