Vibration.
I, for one, believe, says a. Boston
Transcript correspondent, that we are
on the eve of a great era of applicable
force, and that the wasteful methods
OF steam and electricity will be rele-
gated to n desuetude such as has over
taken the stage coach.
The grounds of my belief are based
not wholly on hearsay, but chiefly on d.
a curious experience. A few days ago
q young man living in the vicinity of
Boston took me to his room and
showed me an apparatus which he had
himself constructed with amazing in
genuity and skill The fundamental
primum mobile of this simple machine
was musical vibration. l have no right
to describe the apparatus, but the force
produced in all incredibly brief interval
of time by means of fiddle bow was SO
enormous that there seemed to be no
way of measuring It! and the chief diff
ffculty in the way of practical applica-
ton lay in the regulation of this
force, which, if directed full upon 70
human being, the inventor believed,
would instantly vaporfzo his body. A
single drop Of water confined in q hol-
low stoll tube was resolved by q small
fraction of this possible energy into q
motor capable of running IN engine, if
properly applied.
1t is well known to all scientific men
that q cubic foot of atmospheric air
contains latent Gf one might use the
term), or in suspension, force enough
to kill regiment. Musical vibration
seems to SGT free portion Of this en-
erEy, and it's resources arc infinite. If
once TREY can he regulated il will be
the simplestund most inexpensive way
of doing nh manual work, for il will
require no heat
Tho young man who thought out this
wonderful series of apparatus is self
made, not having had great advan-
taGes OF cducation; butfor pure genius,
l think. whether as n practical in
ventor or as IA theoretical experiment
or, he will take high rank among the
great Of the world. .a,., ..-..--...,

Ars. Samuels Called Down Vengeance on

Mrs. Zerclds Samuels, mother of
those notorious bandits. train robbers
and ex-guerrillas, the late lamented
Jesse and the still living but reformed
Frank James,, is reported lying seri-
ously i'll, with but slight hope of her
recovery, said the Buffalo Inquirer, in
a recent issue.
III never forget" said gentleman
recently, 1.-The scene when she caught
the first view of Jesse's dead face in
that little undcrtalser's shop in St.
Joseph, where the body was removed
soon after Bob Ford killed the notori-
Gus outlaw.
"She had aged years in the short
twenty-four hours since her boy fell q
victim to the treachery of one he had
befricnded. She seemed stunned by
the tragedy. Here, for twenty years
and more, she had lived in the full
knowledge that every hour of each day
might bring her tidings that one or
both of her boys had met with a vio-
lent death, but when it came the shock
well-nigh shattered her reason.
"The ice box in which Jesse's body
lay was opened, and for full two min
utes the gray-haired mother looked on
the face of her dead son; then all her
vigor seemed to return, her bent figure

prayers / um not prepared to say, but
certain it is that Charlie Ford never
knew an instant of peace from the day
that Jesse was shot. Unlike Bob, he
did not even pretend to conceal his
real feelings under an air of bravado.
Both boys were in mortal terror every
minute until Frank surrendered that
he would cross their path unexpectedly
some day and that their lives would
pay the forfeit. Bob hid this fear by
assuming clustering holiness, which
at times he was far from feeling. His
was the stronger character Of the two.
Charlie, on the contrary, passed his
nights in restless sleeplessness and his
days in terrified expectancy of ven
geance. Even the short period of Sc
eurity which he enjoyed while Frank
was in custody afforded no lasting
peace for him. AS soon as Frank was
released the old terror returned with
renewed force, and so proved upon his
nerves that he soon became mental
wreck. 1t drove him to a suicides grave
