him level headed business man. He is
something of literary man as we'll,
having written a novel that was meas
urably successful and owning to the au-
thorship Of poetry that would give him
high rank among western singers if he
would permit it's publication"
Unlike Keely. DR.. Williams does not
claim to have discovered a new force,
but simply to have devised a new meth
cd of construction whereby the ordinary
waste of potential energy is avoided. His
invention is new application of pneu-
mates. He discards the old form of
engine, with its cumbrous boiler, fur
mace and water tank. In their place he
has "a small steel cylinder about 6
inches in diameter and @ feet long,
charged with compressed air." Steam
could be used, but as compressed air
never loses its elasticity and is indie
pendent of heat and cold it is preferable,
the small quantity required rendering
its use practical and economical.
In the new motor a radical departure
has been made from the old principle of
construction. The cylinder, piston and
crank Of the old engine are done away
with, and the power is applied directly to
the shaft in a manner that secures ten
times the power from given unit of
energy utilized. The engine is described
as a mechanical paradox. There are
number of wheels revolving in different
directions, wheels within wheels, and
wheels revolving around other wheels
and changing the position of their axles
every instant, yet all producing motion
in one direction.
The seeming paradox is said to be ac-
complished by peculiar coordinate
movement discovered and patented by
the inventor. It is from the study of this
heretofore unconsidered movement that
the invention has been developed. DR..
Williams is 80 certain that he has solved
the problem of better kind of energy
that he says, THE days of steam as
motive power are numbered"

MACKAYE's UNFINISHED sPECTAToRIUM.
have been planned by private enterprise,
and many people supposed it to be one
of the exposition buildings that, for some
occult reason, had been left unfinished
In reality it was monument to one Of
the most colossal failures in the worlds
history.
1t was the late Steele Mackaye's Spec
tatorium, projected as the largest and
grandest auditorium the western world
had ever seen, second in size only to the
old Roman Coliseum. In this vast struc-
ture MaGkaye proposed to present an
allegory Of the discovery of America by
Columbus on scale of magnihcence
never before attempted. More actors
and greater chorus than had ever be-
fore participated in any stage perform
ance were to be employed. The modern
stage was to be revolutionized and the
glories of old Greek and Roman histrio-
nism surpassed.
Mackaye was enthusiastic. He be-
lieved in his scheme and made others be-
lieve in it also, among them some of
Chicago's most conservative capitalists.
The project was capitalized at $4,000
600, and first mortgage bonds to the ex-
tent of $500, 900 were issued. Work was
begun under the most favorable auspices,
and plenty of money seemed to be as
sured. Up to the day when work upon
the building was abandoned $3.50, 900 had
been sunk in the enterprise. The struc-
ture was sold for old junk for the miser-
able sum of SO, $50.
The work of removing the great skele-
ton will take many months, for it re-
quires as much skill to take the heavy
steel beams apart as it did to put them
together. When it finally disappears, its
memory will loom mp in the minds of
thousands like spectral monument to
one of the most hopeful and erratic gen.
fuses that ever struggled against the lin
itations of the actual in the heroic en-
deavor to materialize rose hued visions

strict diet. Almost any wholesome food
not too highly seasoned is beneficial if it
does not contain much grease, which must
always be avoided.
For breakfast l usually take a cup of tea,
two soft boiled eggs, slice of toast and
some oatmeal. My luncheon is very SIM
pie meal and is made up of chop, with a
piece of stale bread and some green vegeta-
bles, which may be eaten in almost unlim-
tied quantity without fear of injurious eff
fects Roast beef or broiled chicken, with
stale bread, vegetables. fruit and tapioca or
sage pudding, constitutes my dinner. Late
suppers are an athletes bette noir and must
never be INDUCED in, for they breed insom
mia, and that, next to indigestion, is the
thing most to be avoided.
A cold bath is a wonderful invigorator
and should be taken as least once day. 1t

needed most. This must be followed by a

the skin glows.

especial regard to my work. AS am a

industries for the season has arrived

who cannot make calculations beyond a
few months are the more anxious to crowd
as much trade as they safely can into
those months. In some branches of dis
trihution. however, there are indications of
a diminishing demand for goods, and the
evident preference for medium and low
priced articles, with the known reduction
in wages and family expenditures, lead
many to feel somewhat less confident that

Lad, lsans On pvsraress.

Lady Jeune Is Of the opinion that u
women would but determine TO discard
the ornaments. the garnitures, the trim
mings and the stuffs of French manu-.
facture and return to the simplicity and
plainness Of dress which satisfied their
mothers and grandmothers they would
give stimulus to home production, and
il they insisted on certain standard Of
excellence in the material they purchased
they would soon find their example fol-
lowed by women Of all classes. As 1t Il,
she can only groan over what she calls
sthe craze among women to overdress
themselves and multiply their gowns"
1t is no uncommon thing, as she says,
for people to wear four or five gowns q
day. Gowns must be changed--morn-
ing, walking. afternoon, evening, each
has its separate apparel-and the tea
gown, which is an invention of the last
few years, is perhaps the most gorgeous
and extravagant article in the list. II
used to be said that women dressed to
please men. If so, says Lady Jeune, those

Easy 70 Mako . strong cigar.

A tobacco manufacturer who moves
in a select coterie Of tobacco loving
friends was recently told by one of those
connoisseurs that he had yet to find a
cigar that was too strong for him to en-
Joy. Acting on the suggestion, the man
ufacturer took occasion to have cigar
specially constructed Of stems and neat
y covered with a rich, appetizing Ha-
vana leaf, rolled into points at both
ends This he presented to his friend
with the wish that it might prove strong
enough to suit his taste. Suspecting
nothing, the friend proceeded to smoke,
and was soon surprised to see Goals like
redhot nails exuding from the end Of
the cigar. As the skin peeled of his
tongue his brain began to reel and he
soon gave up in an old fashioned attack
Of nausea He no longer boasts Of his
capacity before people who are in the

Modern newspaper enterprise and mod

creased the number Of mourners who
are virtually at the bedside of every
great man who is stricken with mortal
illness. For several weeks every morn
ing newspaper Office in the United States
had hourly bulletins from Mr.. Blaine'a
sickroom. and in every such Office the
telegraph editors, operators, printers,
pressmen. etc.. had to lengthen their
nightly vigil a couple of hours in order
TO be sure that when the end came there
should be no delay in announcing it to
thecountry. The number of men whose
days work was thus prolonged is many
thousand, and the same men have
watched by the bedside of many famous
men in the same way. During the whole
"a hours reporters were on watch at the
Blaine mansion from the beginning Of
his illness The English reporters who
were charged with like duty when
Tennyson lay dying deserted their trust,
and the poets death was not announced
till several hours after its Occurrences.
Such breach of duty by American re-
porters Is inconceivable.

why Beer Kegs Are Made So thick.

It takes long while for beer keg to
wear out. 1t has tough constitution
and is protected from internal decay by
coat of pure and hard pitch. The pitch
used ON the modern keg is much superior
to that formerly used. It is clear, taste
less and tough. An empty beer keg will
stand great many hard knocks before
the pitch scales of.
The kegs wear out, when they do
wear, externally. They are wet and dry
alternately, and this promotes decay.
Then they get great deal of unneces-
sary banging around between the time
they leave the brewery and are brought
back again. Everybody, from the driver
and railroad and steamboat hands down
to the barkeepers, seems to think the
kegs are indestructible. A whole car
load Of empty kegs is frequently thrown
from the car down to the ground. A
single empty keg is often thrown 15 feet.
II really isn't necessary to make the
kegs as heavy, SO far as the keeping Of
the beer is concerned They began by
being made heavy in the old days. The
brewers then deemed IL absolutely req
uisite to make them that way to with
stand the pressure Of the beer. The very
fact that they were made heavy and
clumsy subjected them to rough ham
ding Now they have to be made heavy
and extra material has to be put into
the heads and slaves simply because of
this handling and not from any danger
on account Of the internal pressure Of
the beer. &C Chicago Tribune.
