1taly's King Acknowledges His Mistake in q
Dispute With Peasant.
From the Chicago Tribune.
The good nature Of Italy's king is we'll illus
trated by an anecdote from the DAYS of the
last royal hunts at Monza. King Humbert is
accustomed to take his sport with the gun in
pretty much the same clothes as other persons
and without attendants, thereby distinguish
ing himself from his imperial German ally,
who has insignia Of his high Office all over his
hunting costume and is accompanied usually
on the chase by noblemen and fiunkeys
Shortly before the end Of the last season the
kings hound started hare about two miles
from Monza and the king fred. At the same
instant another shot was heard and an Italian
peasant, with an old-fashioned gun and a
mongrel dog, hurried up from the opposite
direction. The peasant mistook the simply yet
elegantly clad sportsman who disputed his
possession OF the hare for . Roman dude, and
caught up the royal arm stretched toward the
dead game. There was hot discussion, which
ended in the triumph Of the king superior
logic and his taking off the hare.
At the royal castle the king gave the hare to
the servants that they might prepare it for his
supper and stood by az they dressed it for the
pan. When the entrsils were removed the bull
let that caused the animals death was found.
II was Of the old style for gun. Of the pattern
Of fifty years ago. The king looked at il and at
once sent out messenger to summon to the
castle the peasant who had disputed the pos
session of the hare. When tho old man was led
into the kings presence the latter stretched to
him both hands and said:
my dear man, have just discovered my
mistake. The hare belongs to you. Az it is
already roasting, however, I can do no more
than to ask you to help me eat it."
The peasant sat at the kings right hand at
dinner that evening. and, although high society
spoiled his Appetite: he jingled his wineglass
against that Of his sovereign and rode home
considerably exhilarated in the royal csrrisee.

American and Foreign Mechanical Methods.
From Engineering.
The progress Of the work on the great bridge
recently completed at Queens Ferry, near Ed
inburgh, Scotland, was watched with interest by
American engineers, who visited it from time
to time and saw it grow in the acres of shops
that were erected at the place to construct this
enormous work from the plate iron and bar
iron as it came from the rolling mill in shops
and with machinery that would become useless
apd must be removed upon tho completion of
the structure. This mode of construction and
erection was in strong contrast with the bridge
building methods OF America. Iron and steel
bridges of good design and of undoubted
strength arc being erected here that are made
in large manufacturing establishments far re-
moved from the site OF erection and are ar
ranged SO as to require no work in assembling
the parts and putting up the structure.
The large iron bridge over the Susquehanna
near Harrisburg, Pa, was erected in six
months from the date of order without any
hand work, such as chipping or altering. ami
tho progress of the erection did not interfere
with the travel over the road The problem in
this case was very much like that Of the erec-
ton of a county Jail decided on at meeting OF
the county magnates who resolved unani-
mously that a new Jail be built; resolved also
unanimously that the new Jail be built on the
site Of the old Jail, and further resolved unani-
mohsly that the old Jail shall not be removed
until the new Jail is ready for occupancy. The
wooden bridge, over q mile iirlength, across
the river where the iron one was TO stand,
served during the construction for the roadway
and for the false works used in the erection Of
the new one. To those who crossed the bridge
during the period of erection it was simply q
gradual transition from wood 10 iron that met
the eyes.
The shops required to do this kind Of work
are equipped with hydraulic machinery for
making the links, with special boring machin-
cry for boring them with accuracy with shear
ing and punching machines for plate work and
hydraulic or other power riveting devices for
uniting the metals. Multiple punching ma

wonders OF sleep.

In a paper published in a French
medicine magazine DR.. Brown Sc
guard the famous elixir OF life" adj
vocate. adduces some of the reasons
that have led him to the conclusion
that normal sleep Is the effect OF an
inhibitory act instead OF depending.
as formerly supposed. upon vascular
contraction taking place in the cere-
bral lobes. Experiments plainly prove
that sleep may exist whether there is
little or much blood in the vessels of
the brain. That the loss OF conscious
ness in sleep in numerous other acct
dental or pathological cases is the eff
feet of an inhibition of the cerebral
faculties is to be believed. DIR. Bro wn-
Sequard argues because OF direct
proofs showing that the loss Of con-
seriousness in the case Of a puncture of
the bulb. and in other cases also, is.
beyond all dispute due to an inhibit-
DRY act and also because OF all that
Is known OF the circumstances which
precede or accompany sleep. The
broad statement made by the cele-
brated author is that there exists,
when sleep occurs and as long as it
lasts. irritation at distance from the
organs in which the cessation of
activity takes place. Among the
proofs OF the existence OF such irrita-
tons the following are cited: Feeling
OF heaviness In the eyes persistent
contraction Of the pupil, contraction
OF the orbicular muscles and contrac-
tion OF the blood vessels of the retina
OF the eye and OF the cerebral lobes. =
