AIR BAG SLEEPING CARA western
Pennsylvania man has patented new
style of sleeping car. Each car is to
contain rubber bags of various sizes and
designs, some to be used as pillows,
some as mattresses and others as
cushions At night these bags are to
be taken from the cupboard and stretch
ed over steel frames. When that is
done hot air from the locomotive Is to
be turned on, and the bags are to be
dilated. In a very few minutes the
cushions, mattresses and pillows will
be inflated for use, and then the porter
will put up wire screens in position to
divide the sleeping sections. In per-
haps fifteen minutes the whole sleeping
car will be ready for use. The next
morning all that it will be necessary to
do is to turn off the hot air, and SO
cause the collapse of the mattresses,
pillows and cushions. The advantages
claimed for the new patent are many
and various. In the first place there
will be decided lessening Of weight
for the sleeping cars to carry. Again,
Tue iAluIeS Vi SleeplnS DeItuS IdhC up
very large amount Of room which the
new patent designs to save. Then the
time taken up for preparing the berths
and putting them up in the morning is
considerable. 1t is claimed, too, that
another effect of the invention will be
to do away with much ofthe discomfort
which now seems inseparable from
trave! on sleeping cars. A soft rubber
cushions dilated with hot air ought
certainly to be pleasant substitute for
sleeping car mattress on cold night,
and soft rubber pillow ought certainly
to acquire some popularity which
hard laundered sleeping car pillow has
never yet enjoyed.
One detail the west Pennsylvania
man does not seem to have covered by
any clause in the patent and it is an
important one. No provision is made
for the abolition of the sleeping car
porter. This is serious if not fatal
defect.-N. T. SWn.

SOLD HIS FRUIT CRoP.-A curious
transaction took place in Lynchburg
on Wednesday: Mr.. George Murrell,
a prominent fruit raiser of Bedford
county, told D. w. Myers, q clothing
dealer, that his entire peach crop of
fifteen hundred trees had been ruined
by the recent cold weather and offered
to dispose of the entire yield for suit
of clothes. Myers at once accepted,
when Murrell said he would not make
the deal unless he received an over
coat. This Myers also agreed to do,
and the transaction was accordingly
closed by written agreement. This
is a transaction probably without a
precedent.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written By Rev. Gunder-
man, of Damondale, Mich, we are permitted
to make this extract: Il have no hesitation in
recommending DR.. Kings New Discovery, as
the results were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the Bap-
tist Church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it seemed
rs if she could not survive them. A friend
recommended DIR. Kings New Discovery; it
was quick in its work and highly satisfactory
in its results" Trial bottles free at E. s.

Around the Mines for Ten Years

Yet Pat MulIigan Lived and Work &C
Around the Mines for Ten Years.
They were discussing last night at
a miners boarding house the recent
stabbing Of Tom Lynch at the Butte
| hotel and a number Of cases of d sim
liar nature were brought up in which
the injured men had recovered an(
were as hearty as ever.
"The most remarkable case though
that | ever heard Of" said Jerry
Harrigan, "Was that Of Pat Mulligan
with whom | worked for many a
year In June, 1881, Mulligan was
working on the Gray Rock when the
shaft on that property was about 225
feet deep. Mulligan was one of tho
sinking crew, and one day the bucket
which was being used to take out the
waste and water was being loistcd tC
the surface. The bucket was almost
filled with water, and the shaft man
put in six drills, they being dull, to be
sent to the top to be sharpcncd.
The top man dumped the water in
L trough ut the collar Of the shaft
without closing the trap doors on
top, and one Of the drills rolled out,
struck the trough and rolled down
the shaft. 1t was an inch drill
about two feet long and weighed
about six pounds.
"Mulligan WAS in a STOPPING posi-
tion when the drill struck him. 1t
hit him back Of the shoulder blade,
passed clean through the body mar
roWly missed his heart and partly
emerged from beneath the ribs.
Mulligan's horror stricken campan-
ions in the Shaft rushed to his assist
lncc and were about to pull the drill
out from his back, when Mulligan
calmly seized the lower end Of the
drill from where it protrudcd and by
Il great effort pulled it through his
body ard threw it down at his feet.
sit was Il wonderful exhibition Of
nerve and forUltude, but everybody
who heard Of the accident we're con-
tident that he could not survive. He
hoycrcd between life and death for
about three weeks and finally got ap-
parent]y as well as ever. lie worked
for ten years in the mines Of Butte
and Granite, but finally met with Il
horrible death at the Anaconda mine
on November 4tE, 1891, by falling
with eight others from the cage
while being hoistcd from the mine"

Austin, Tex. Nov Jake eau
daur is still champion Of the aquatic
world. The contest was over a mile
and half course, and the trophies
were the championship, Richard X.
Fox challenge cup and a purse Of
81, 900. The starters were Bubear
and Haincs, Of England, and Jake
Gaudaur and James Rogers of Ameri-
ca. Before the quarter flags were
reached On the upper course, Haines
quit and Bubear also dropped out ten
boat lcngthsCbclow the mile and q
half flags, leaving Gaudanr and
Rogers to finish the race. Gaudaur
won with a lead Of five boat lengths,
coming down the course under an
easy 81 stroke and won the race in
2O:59. The TIVE Englishmcn dropped
off in the first race, saving themselves
for the great fOur-Oared race which
| followed on the heels Of the single
scull. This race was over the mile
and Il half course with turn, three
miles in all, for the championship of
the world and Il purse of 81 500. The
starters were Bubear: Haines, Barry,
and Wingatc for England and
! Tccmcr, Rogers, Jake and Charley
Gaudaur for America.
AS the two crews lined up the ex-
citcnlcnt was intense. Betting had
been rnnning heavy on these two
teams for the past week until up
wards Of $40. 600 was in the pool
sellers hands this afternoon when
the flag dropped to start the race.
The flag dropped and both crews
bent to their oars. The English
crew gained the lead in the first ten
boat lengths and kept it up on the
course by about three boat lengths,
although the Americans closed the
gap some near the mile and a half
flag. The English team turned first
and on the retnrn course at the
thrce-quartcrs flag they were leading
by three boat lengths. The Ameri-
cans spurted at the half flags for
about five leng tbs only, when they
gave out. From there to the finish
line the English crew had a three
lengths lead and the boats passed
over the line in that position. Time
Of race, 1920! The winning Of this
race by the English crew accords
them all important laurelS at this
regatta. This concludes the regatta.

How Is 1t Hero?

The Helena Uerald's local man
struck the fire station the other day
and worked the "boys" for few
items. One OF these items related
the strange experience Of one Of the
fire boys, who claimed that as surely
as he came to the station dressed
up, there would be fire and the re.
suit would be that he would get his
clothes spoiled.
"Why, one day. the fireman re.
lated, warming up to his work, II
had new $40 suit, that I had sent
east for. ruined by smoke and water
This is certainly q frank admission
for man to make who gets his liy-
ing out Of the taxpayers or Helena,
among whom are many tailorS and
merchants, able to make or sell him
as good a suit as the one he had sent
east for, and he had no more comprc-
hension Of the cnormity Of his otfcnsc
than to make matter Of fact con-
| fcsSiOn Of it. But so it is in every
community in the west. Men OF
capital come here; they build or rent
stores that others have built, put in
large stocks Of goods such as We all
use and must have and while paying
the tribute Of high taxes, and
high rents usual in Montana at
least, they are put into competition
with the immense department stores
Of the big cities where expenses are
| figured down to the last mill and
profits made possible by coming the
life blood Of some hundreds of un-
fortunate slaves. How many are
there in Miles City who "ship in"
stuff from Montgomery Ward s. Co.
or similar firms. Why, bless your
soul, if they went on a picnic the
town would be depopulatcd, and inthc
crowd there would be some Of the
merchants who arc themselves suf-
fcrIng from this outrageous practice:
for you know there are very few in
this wicked world Of ours who prac-
ticc what they preach. A sermon u
yard long could be written on this
subject but we refrain from thresll-
ing old straw: it just come in our
way at this time to turn it over and
show the people how moudv it is,
and how unhealthy for the communi-
ty, and to rejoice in the fact that
the Helena fireman had his $40 eastern
suit spoiled. cd.-Ycllowstonc Journal.

NORDAU'S ERRORS.
LOmbrosO Tells Where the Author of t'D,
low "A

LOmbroso Tells where the Author of s'De-
generation" Goes .1stray.
Even though starting from new and
just position, Nordau has gone astray:
Convinced of the scope of the new psy-
chiatric weapon which he had in his
hands. he has SO far overshot the mark
as to impair the effect of his purpose
More alicnist than the alienists, he no
sooner finds 4 neurotic or maddish
author than he thinks his work itself
can be demolished. Thus, after hay
ing demonstrated by 4 very subtle anal
ysis that in Wagner the philosor',ic
ideas concerning life are contradictory
or archaic-such as the idea of the
struggle between the flesh and the soul,
or between the spirit and the senses
he concludes that Wagner was there
fore crazy, and not genius. Like
wise, because of Tolstoi's mysticism, or
his destructive ideas on love and science,
he deems Tolstoi insane and his books
nonsense.
But probably all genluses have the &C.
centr1c1ties, and even the delirious
IDEAS, which he notices in Tolstoi,
Wagner and Ibsen. The last chapter Of
Gocthc's "Wilhelm Meistc1" is more in
comprehensive and cxtravagant than
the ideas OF Tolstoi; while Balzuc's
scientific opinions, and his innunlcr-
able fluids, would find mates in the it,
ernture Of insane asylu1ns. TO dem
onstratc that geniuses are insane is
not difficult, because, as l and others
before Inc have shown, genius is q form
otde9encratlve neurosis. Certainly poic-
teTn, Mallarnc and Gail arc degcn-
crates and even mattoids. Tolstoi,
Wagner and Swin!>urnc may be mad or
degenerate, but in addition to the quail
tiles just named, and which belong to
the ordinary insane, they have genius;
TINS IS what Nortluu has too frequently
forgotten. Degeneration, for one who
follows my theories, instead of destroy
ing, fortities tho diagnosis whicl, proves
them to be geniuscs, and enlargcs it's
range; because only the mediocre have
not maddish forms, for the very reason
that they lack fccund originality, which
is the basis Of genius.
The man Of genius is the man who
does better than his contemporaries,
and in q different way; lie is therefore
an abnormal being, an exception. lie
is different from his environment, he
IS not completely sane as to his intel
lect, he has many physiological and
psychological blemishes, he is afflicted
either by the de1irium of persecution,
OF by mcgalo-mania, CT by religious de-
Hrium, more often by psychic epilepsy.
