that he had removed 100 appendices in
two years. Possibly 1000 appendices
have been removed since the first opera
tion of this sort in 1888, and most of
these in the past three years.
What follows? If such rate is to be
maintained, there will soon be a very
large proportion of the people of New
York city who have eliminated their
vermiform appendices, and we are glad
of it.
Will the children of these people be
likewise possessed Of vermiform appen-
dixes? Undoubtedly. But should the
eliminating process be continued for a
few generations, how long would it be
before this useless and dangerous, de-
generate and rudimentary portion of the
body is permanently bred out Of exist
ence?-New York World.

To Re BURIED Alive.

The mind reader, A. ]. Seymour, is
generally known in Illinois, and his pro-
posed attempt to be buried and remain
in the ground while a crop Of barley is
grown on his grave creates interest
throughout the state. DR.. E. G. Dunn
Of Rockford has been selected by Sey-
mour as manager. DIR. Dunn says:
"There is no question that this feat
can be performed. / have seen it per-
formed successfully three times in India,
at Allahabad, Delhi and Benares."
For several days Seymour will be fed
upon diet of fat and heat producing
food. He will then throw himself into
cataleptic state, the lungs will be filed
with pure air to their fullest capacity
and the tongue placed back and partially
down the throat in such manner as to
completely close the aperture to the
lungs. The nose, eyes and ears will be
Theoretically sealed with wax.
After paraffine has been spread over
the entire body to close the pores it will
be ready for burial. The body will be
put into an extra large casket. This
will be placed inside another, and both
will be perforated in order that if any
poisonous gases exude from the body
they may make their escape and be alb
sorbed by the soil. The interment is to
be made in clay soil.

An Old Carpet Worth %, 500.

The longer a carpet is used in the
coiners' department at the United States
mint the more it is worth. Wear and
tear do not diminish it's value. Yester-
day thick woolen carpet that has been
on the coiners' floor for seven years was
taken up and carefully cremated. The
precious ashes were scrupulously gath
cred together, as If they were the relics
of some departed saint, and by an elab-
crate refining process the government
recovered 279 ounces of gold, worth over
$500. The metal had been deposited
there by the infnitesimal abrasions and
disintegrations of the yellow metal while
being converted from bullion into coin.
Even the heavy gloves of the men who
handle bullion are incinerated, and the
gold is brought back to Uncle Sans cof-
fers. Even the smoke from the furnaces
used for melting the metal is made to
redeliver the treasure with which it is
trying to escape, and from the SCOT in
the chimney cunning little bars of the
yellow stuff are secured.-San Francisco

Electric Freight Engines.

The three electric locomotives being
constructed by the General Electric
company to haul cars through the Belt
railroad tunnel are nearly completed.
The machinery Is about finished, aud
the generators are well under way. The
locomotives will be of 1, 200 horsepower
each and will consist of three separate
trucks coupled together to form one
motor. The weight on drivers will be
100 tons, and the number Of drivers TO
each locomotive will be 12. The maxi
mum weight of freight trains to be
hauled is placed at 200 tons, which can
be carried at a speed of 10 miles an hour;
maximum weight of passenger train,
900 tons; speed, 80 miles an hour.
Each axle of the locomotive has mount
ed upon 1t a gearless motor fexibly con-
nected to the driving wheels, and means
are provided for controlling the motors
and communicating them, so that high ef-
ficiency can be attained at nearly all rates
Of speed by running the potors either In
series, multiple series or multiple, ac-
cording to the load to be hauled and
speed desired. The current will be sup
piled to the motors from the generators
by the regular trolley wire, with ground
return through the rails. Where switches
and sidings occur special arrangements
will be made to prevent the trolley by
any chance from jumping the wire.-

An International Episode.

An international incident of an un-
usual and amusing sort has given inter-
est to the news of the week from Can
ada. Admiral Magnaghi arrived at
Montreal with his ship Etna, and as he
dropped anchor he fired a number of
guns prescribed by naval etiquette as
salute to the flag of friendly nation.
But Montreal has mayor who does not
recognize the kingdom of Italy, and by
his orders the salute was not returned.
1t is understood that he bases his refusal
to recognize King Humbert on the
ground that Victor Emanuel wronged
the head of the church Of which lie is q
faithful member, and that the king Of
Italy is, therefore, in some way usurper.
The mayor of Montreal is evidently a
long way behind the times. But Ad-
miral Magnaghi is not, and he forthwith
telegraphed the Ottawa government, de-
manding that the prescribed amount Of
powder be burned in honor of the Italian
flag, and intimating that unless this
were done without further offensive de-
lay he should feel compelled to resent
the indignity by sailing right away out
of the st. Lawrence. So the premier ut
Ottawa ordered the mayor at Montreal
to fire tho salute, the admiral is ap-
peased, and the international incident is
closed. Commonwealth.

For several days an enterprising pho
tographer from Kansas has had masked
camera SO arranged in tent at the main
crossing into the Cherokee Strip that he
can take negative Of everybody pass

department holds that every person who
now goes upon the strip is 'sooner" and
loses his right to take land there, these
negatives will become very valuable evil

out good claims, and the owner of them

Hypnotising witnesses In Court.


DR.. J. 8. Wintermute, complainant in
ps41 900 damage suit against James Stin-
ION, Chicago stockman, was accused in
Ihe United States court of hypnotizing
witness who was on the stand. Winter
mute is said to be able to mesmerize and
hypnotize people.
Stinson sent him a lot of blooded horses
= couple of years ago. They were placed
on Wintermute's farm for breeding pur-
poses, and now Wintermute has sued
5tinson for services and the use of his
farm properties. This morning the court
denied motion for nonsuit, and Stin-
son, who had engaged able counsel, be-
gan to introduce his evidence.
One of his witnesses could not re-
member" He halted and hesitated re-
peatedly, and finally Stinson told the
court the witness was being hypnotized
by the complainant, Wintermute. Judge
Sandford did not seem to consider the
objection seriously. The examination
was ordered continued and the witness
asked more questions, but he still seemed
confused. Again Stinson arose and
called the courts attention to the wit
ness's mental condition and insisted that
he was under hypnotic spell. Winter
mute was observed to be making curl
Gus passes with his hands in the direc-
tion of the witness. He was ordered to
keep his hands down. Stinson says
Wintermute hypnotized persons in his
house at Chicago and is positive he had
the witness under his influence

A Clock That Registers the Tide.

The chamber of commerce of Rouen
has erected clock tower which gives
the time on three sides and the height of
the tide on the fourth, namely, that 'front.'
ing the harbor. The tide indicator con-
sists essentially of float, which, by
means of cord and counter weight hung
on drum, actuates series of shafts
with bevel wheel gearing and moves a
hand or pointer ON dial like that of a
clock, marked with the necessary figures
to show the level of the tide. The dials
are of opal glass and are illuminated at
night. The clock has an apparatus for
distributing the time to other clocks in
Rouen and also for unifying the time
after the method adopted in Paris

WHY BOOKS ARE CHEAP.
A Machine Tint Prints and Folds Three
Thousand Every Hour.

There are various rumors and tales
floating about town among those in the
business concerning some wonderful ma
chinery over on the west side of the city
In q certain monstrous bookmaking es-
tablishment.
The "novel machine" is large web
press similar to the kind newspapers are
printed on, but arranged to take curved
electrotypes Of each page of book in
stead of single large metal cylinder
casting. There are two cylinders, ON
each Of which 144 pages may be screwed,
and as the long strip of paper goes
through, first one side is printed and theh
the other, making IL possible to print 2s8
pages at every revolution. The strip of
paper, after being carried over rollers
which dry the ink, is cut, folded and
brought together in the shape Of small
volume, with the edges all trimmed. Ev-
cry time the great cylinder goes round a
novel is printed, folded and trimmed, and
5000 of these are turned out every hour,
while, If it were necessary, 1000 or 5000
might be the quota.
From the printing press these books
are carried to little machine that looks
like sewing machine, and two wire
stitches are taken in the back of each.
The stitched volumes are then carried to
the covering machine, where they are put
side to side in long feeding trough. At
the end of this is little compartment
large enough to take book, carried on
an endless chain running over wheels at
each end. Indeed, there are a series Of
little compartments on this chain, and
as the chain moves along each one re-
ceives book. As the book proceeds a
wheel running in a gluepot presses
against its back, smearing it with glue.
A little further along there is a pile Of
covers that comes up at just the right
moment, leaving a cover sticking to the
gluey back OF the book.
In this way 80 books can be covered
every minute. Two hundred and fifty
thousand of these paper covered novels
are thus turned out every two weeks, and
extra editions of $4,000 or SO are often
worked in besides.-New York CONNER
cial Advertiser.

French Servants and Wealthy shopkeepers.
The one extravaganza of dress of the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by a dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume has degree Of style about it
which she is fully capable of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the SO called bour-
geois set-the wives and daughters of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturers
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundress
Of the Bon Marche, was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed in black
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still a
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters of
the art Of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tai
ents in her behalf.-Lucy Harper in

Tho White Cruiser Chicago ut Dublin.


The stars and stripes are as familiar
to Irish eyes as the flag of green, but not
often is the symbol of the United States
of America seen on an American battle
ship in Dublin bay. A warship is re-
garded as part of the territory Of the
state to which it belongs, and therefore
the Chicago may be looked upon as the
part of the great country in which so
many of our people have found q home,
and not few of them have found fame
and fortune. 1t was only natural, there
fore, that her advent to our shores
should have stirred Irish hearts, and
that the flag flying above her should
have conjured up visions of battle days
when side by side with it was carried
the flag of green. Ireland gave Barry
to the American navy, and the blood of
Old Ironsides coursed through the veins
of Charles Stewart Parnell, and the
Irish nature would have ceased to be
Irish If our warmest affections were not
successfully appealed to by the sight of
part of the armed force which the genius
of Barry helped to create and Of the flag
under which the grandfather of the
Irish leader served and fought.-United

The Last English Rabbit.

The game of the world is decreasing,
and as new lands are opened to civiliza.
tion so it will get less and less. In the
struggle for existence, there will be no
room for the sportsman. His require
ments will grow more modest as time
advances, but they will not be satisfied.
The last British wolf was killed in Suth-
erlandshire about the year 100 by man
named Poison. Who will be handed
down to posterity as the slayer Of the last
British rabbit? What pathetic picture
might be drawn of the last cock pleas
ant! Perhaps some Macaulay of the far
distant future may astonish his readers
by his account of what went ON in the
rural districts of Great Britain in the
nineteenth century.
He would relate how, owing to the
scantiness of the population, men used to
shoot partridges and pheasants by the
thousand on ground then and for gener-
ations past the sites of immense towns;
telling how the great garden of England,
then mapped out into small tenements,
each laboriously and minutely culti-
waited, with no waste of wood or hedge
row, used in those far away years to be
furiously ridden over by hundreds of
horsemen in pursuit of an animal long
since extinct in the land and only known
to the curious in old books of natural
