Restaurant Dummies.

An invention to tighten the lGbors of hotel and restaurant walters has been perfected by Thomas E. Thompson O! Chicago The invention has some points in common with the parcel railways now in use in the large dry goods stores and is to consist of a train of slow moving cars. which. starting in and operated from the kitchen, will make the circuit of the dining room at walking pace The cars. which will be constructed in two tiers or shelves, will be two feet, long by eight inches wide and will carry a tray made to fit them
 The waiter, on taking a guests order will place tray on the moving train, whence IL will go direct to the kitchen to be filled and then returned by the same ronte. When used in lunch couu- ters the train can be arranged to run un der tue counter within easy reach of the waiter The motive power will be cleo trici:y, and the inventor claims that his machine will insure prompt service and cause great saving in help, -Philadel- phia Ledger.

With the approach of spring fowers and mild weather the crop of Georgia snake stories begins to increase. The latest comes from Albany, in that state, and i5 to the effect that two CT three days ago Mir Watson, a reputable citi- zen stepped on a big rattler All that saved the man from being bitten was that the snake had just begun to swal- low rabbit and hadn't had time to get the morsel down. The snake struggled first to complete its meal, in order to get in it's fine work on Mir Watson, and then, failing in that, tried to disgorge the rabbit, but before 1t could accom-. plish its purpose was killed, II Exchange

The problem of telegraph without wires" has often been broached, but, so far as know, even the theoretical reali zation of this project has never been seriously attempted until recently. when Mr. Edison gave forth his views regard ing the matter. It would seem that Mir Edison has actually patented means for transmitting signals electrically without the interpretation of connecting wires. What he has to say regarding this subject is well worth our attention. He begins with the announcement of his discovery that if n sufficient eleva- ton be obtained to overcome the curva- ture of the earth, and to reduce as far as may be the earths absorption, cleo tric signaling may be carried on by in. duction without the use of wires con meeting the distant points of signaling stations,
 For signaling across oceans, says Mir Edison, this method will be very services able, inasnuch as it does away with the use of submarine cables; while for communication between vessels at sea, or between vessels at sea anu points on land, the invention would be equally important. There is also no obstacle to its employment between distant points on land, but in the latter case it is nee essary to increase the degree of eleya- ton or height from which the signaling operations are conducted, because of the induction absorbing effect of houses trees and hills
 Mr. Edison states tiiat at sea he can communicate eleCtripai!y iO & great dis tancc from q heisht of 100 feet, This height could be secured from the mast of ship, go that signals could be sent from ship to ship, and communication be established, in this way, even over oceans themselves. -Dr Andrew Wi son m Illustrated London News.

If the experts who have recently been examining the orchards in the fruit sec tions of New Jersey have read the in- dications correctly, the peach harvest of the coming season will be of q phe- nomenal nature They say the glut of 1891 will seem insignificant compared with the colossal crop impending.
 The farmers for the most part are a little skeptical about this prediction. They say a good fruit year is almost in- variably followed by bad one; but prudent housewives, remembering that last season the hogs were fed upon beaches and vast quantities of the lus cious fruit were allow to rot, because there were not sufficient cans to hold it. are taking time by the forelock and providing themselves with preserving vessels far in advance of the pgomi cd harvest, The canning establishments, too, will be prepared to do an enormous business.

It seemed impossible to rouse Latus, but a recent bulletin mentions that he has at last awoke Naturally the case is re- ferred to the records of catalepsy for it's explanation, although it is pointed out that 415 months is very extended pe- tiod even for cataleptic sleep,
 In this case the limbs were rigid, which of course pointed to the exist ence of q cataleptic condition, but the body itself showed no sign of being in any unusual state 1t remained still and placid; the chest rose and fell regu- larly. and the skin was of natural color, the face being described as pre- senting healthy appearance, In the recent reports it was stated that Latus had become less rigid as regards bis body itself, while slight movements were noticed prior to his waking

A Missouri Desperate Killed While
Resisting Arrest Twenty Murders
to His Account.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. lO.-The city was
thrown into state of great excitement,
shortly before noon, by the report that
Hon. James @. Nornailie, judge of the
criminal court, had committed suicide
at his boarding house, 1922 Washington
avenue. Later reports confirmed the
rumor. Judge Normilie returned to his
boarding house at 10 o'clock a. M, after
short visit to the business portion Of
the city. The judge retired to his room
and when it was visited by the landlaly
at II O'clock she found him lying dead
on the bed. On small table was an
empty phial which had evidently con-
tained acid of. an extreme and deadly
character.
The following note was found in a
diary on the person of Judge Norlnilie,
and had evidently been written during.

which gave rise to much favorable COM
ment was the ample supply of cold
water which the local committee pro-
vided at over hundred points along the
line of march. Each water barrel was
placed in charge of score Of small
boys armed with cups, and during the
halts the thirsty knights kept the boys
on the move and often let stray nickel
or dime drop in their hands to show
their appreciation of the attention. At
the conclusion Of the parade, and after
the communicates had been dismissed,
Grand Master Goblin was escorted to the
Masonic temple and there convened
the first session Of the grand encamp-
ment at A p. m. The most important
matters to be considered include plan
for making Washington, D. c., the per-
mallent meeting place of tue encamp-i
ment. It is also suggested that mag
iniGcent temple be erected in that city
which will bea monument to the or
der's prosperity and grand organization.

will cause considerable strife, Cincinnati,

in the race.

Probably Fifty Thousand Of Them in
Line-A Scene Worth
Seeing.
The Regular Business Of the Encamp-

Considered.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 10.-Nearly fifty
thousand knights turned out in the great
street pageant which forms the princi-
pal feature of the triennial gatherings
of the Knights Templar, and the specta-
Gle was one which will bo remembered
by the good people Of Denver for many
a day. The Communicates began to
assemble as early as 8 o'clock, but it was
almost II before the streets were cleared
and the immense body Of men set in
motion. Although the line of march ex-
tended over several miles, every inch Of
sidewalk on theroute was crowded from
curb to building line, every window was
filled with eager spectators, and even
the house tops were covered with people
watching the sea of plumes that
moved steadily forward like the current
of q mighty river many feet beneath
them. Those on the house tops and in
the upper windows, ii fact, obtained
by far the best view of the procession,
as much of its beauty consisted in the
intricate symbols of the order which
were exhibited in the formation Of the
ranks as they passed through the streets.
1t was only from an elevation that the
,nachine-like accuracy of the movements
could be appreciated as commandery
after commandery broke the regularity
of its ranks, for moment seemed lost
in confusion, aud then, as if by magic,
emerged in the form of a Greek, a pas
sion or Maltese cross, or mayhap q
triangle or so,ne'of the myriad mystic
combinations formed from the figure g..
At scores Of placesson the line stands
had been erected, and thousands of
people cheerfully paid their quarters,
half dollars or even dollars for a foot
hold on these points of vantage. Just
before the order to march was
given Grand Master Goblin was es-
ccrted by st. Johns co:nmandcry, of
Philadelphia, from the Palace hotel to
the reviewing stand at the corner of
Sixteenth street and Broadway and here,
in the company of the governor and
chief officials Of the State of Colorado,
and the mayor of Denver, he reviewed
the hosts of Sir knights. Everything
that money and forethought could pro
vide for the comfort of tho knights was
placed at their disposal, and the most
fatiguing event of the conclave was
accomplished without serious mishap Of
