Mr.. cARRoLus GREAT IDEA.
1t Puts Man at His Best When He Ii
Held Up by Robber.

1t Puts Man at His Best When lie Is
Held Up by Robber.
Taylor Carroll is engaged in devising
q formidable system Of defense for lone
pedestrians when they wander in dan
gerous places whore police protection is
ineffective and the risk of being "held
up" is ever present. His plan is to con-
vert tho erect human body into n minia-
turo revolving turret, armed at four
points and capable of dealing death in
front, rear or flank simultaneously or
of sending four successive discharges
in the same direction.
Mr.. CAROLS design is still in its ru-
dimentary stage, with numberless minor
details to be elaborated, but his central
idea is we'll developed. He says he has
not yet prepared diagrams or expert
mental apparatus, but has merely ont
lined 1t mentally.
II would have small storage bat
tery Worn in a belt" he said, with
small copper wires running from it up
through the sleeves and connected with
each hand on the great or middle finger
with copper ring the thumb can reach
in the palm of the hand. When the
thumb touched the ring, an electrical
current would discharge four batteries
loaded with ball behind and in front
This discharge could take place when
the hands were being held under the
tbraot of az, armed rohher
"The ring should be placed beyond
the reach of the thumb except in cases
of emergency, so the thumb will never
discharge the battery accidentally.
Mr.. Carroll is not a practical electri-
clan or mechanic, being an actor by
profession. He has not figured up the
weight of the storage battery to be car
ried ON the belt, nor is he adverse to
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of substi-
tutiDg dry primary coll.
In his zeal for the application Of sci
entiflc methods to the protection of the
citizen the inventor has apparently left
out of sight everything but the tactical
advantage Of the lonely pedestrian at
tackled in front by the bold maraudcr or
clasped from behind by the lurliing gar
roter. Thus he has not yet figured out
how slim young man is to avoid as
Stunning Falstaffian dimensions when he
braces storage batteries and arsenals
around his waist.
Nor does he forecast the possibly trag-
ical consequences that might some day
result from the clasp Of a loving hand
upon the thumb and palm that carried
the potential copper appurtenances he
describes, making inadvertent electrical
contact and producing catastrophe
when only endearment was intended

There was a moving in the Bowery a
few days ago, and it was watched with
interest by score or so of passersby.
A stout Italian bootblack was transfer

stood beside the stand. The little wife
then put dirty little pillow on her
head and stopped trifle. The husband
thereupon picked up the stand with diff
Guilty and balanced it Oh the little wom
ans head. Then he took the two chairs
and placed them on the stand i'll such
fashion as to secure them from falling.
The little wife, having Strengthened
up under her burden and made sure Of
its equilibrium, started down the Bow

ease, putting a cigarette, while the spec
tators looked on amazed to discover the
usefulness of wife as beast of bur-

said Doc Stndley, the ex-sheritf and bear

young man who had just been telling
about bag Of snipe he had once killed.
"What were they-little fellows? What
is it you call them-kittens? No, cubs;

"No, sir. They were not kittens or

and kill another deer to take home

about big black bear climbed up Oh
the trunk of big fir tree that had been

The procession, eight miles long,

and arms reversed. The Grant family,

succeeded by the generals old staff, his
cabinet officers and detachments from
Grand Army posts. Members of the
Aztec club, survivors Of the Mexican

The Southern Aurora.

and down again toward the eastern hor-

quite different appearance from what

The Way to Eat Candy.

think much OF the cutlery against
candy is the result of wrong methods Of
use. 1t can often BIZ safely taken at meal
time with good results. Scientists say
that the food value Of sugar is very
great. A pound of sugar contains much
more energy and power to support ami
NAL life than pound of meat. If candy
is taken under such conditions that 1t
will not derange the digestive apparatus,
it is perfectly wise and rational to be
candy eater.-Annals of Hygiene.

Great Wear of Railroad Iron.

Taking the total length of the rail
ways of the world at even 10000 miles
and allowing daily average Of 10 trains
over each road, it is estimated that the
total loss of iron by wear and tear each
day of the year is not less than 600 tons.
The iron thus lost goes back to the earth
in the shape Of fine powder, which is
finally transformed into soluble iron
