TRUNK AND BATHTUB.
A New York Mans Unique and
Useful Invention.
When Not Used for Bathing Purposes
the Receptacle Can BE Used for
the Storage or Transporta-
tion of Clothes.

This is the season of the year when
a host of city people who go to the coun-
try say they live in trunk, but to take
a bath in a trunk is something that has
just been made possible.
Eugene Sandow is the man who has
developed the idea, and it is as practical
as his muscles. People who have tried
the invention say he knows exactly
what he is talking about.
The trunk tub, says the New York
Journal, looks like a trunk, and that
Is just what it is, for when it is not in
use for bathing purposes it is perfectly
available for ordinary trunk purposes.
1t is leather bound, cornered with
bright steel fittings, and finished with
highly-polished, brass-headed nails. II
has massive brass lock, ornamented so
as to add greatly TO the looks of the
affair.
To transform the trunk into bath.
tub all that is necessary to do is to raise
the lid, lift out the trays, and the tub
is before you. The box portion of the
trunk is lined with light, waterproof
fabric. The trunk is octagonal in
shape, so there are no sharp corners in,
side.
In one of the trays of the trunk there
is a little compartment also lined with
rubber. This contains pliable line OF
hose, which is to be attached to any
faucet of the house, so that the trunk
bathtub may be filed with water. I'm,
der this idea it is not necessary to move
the trunk-tub, as the water is carried
to it from the length Of any ordinary
house. In the same compartment with
the hose line there is little faucet.
Close to the bottom of the trunk is =
little stopcock which works from the
inside. On the outside all that can be
seen is little hole, showing steel sur
face cut with thread. Into this hole
from the outside the little faucet is
fastened after the owner of the trunk
has taken his bath. Then the stopcocl
on the inside of the tub is turned, and
the water is drained from the tub.
Now comes the drying process, ans
this has been well providedfor. In one

TAKING A BATH IN HIS TRUNK.

of the trays taken from the trunk a
miniature mop is kept, made of rubber
and asbestos. With this the interior of
the trunk is mopped dry, the trays are
replaced and no one would suspect the
bathtub feature.
The arrangement of the trays is of
the most improved sort, and, Sandow
says, caused as much thought as the
tub feature. There are three Of these
trays, and they fit into the trunk box,
leaving a two-inch space at the bottom
for air circulation. This circulation Is
maintained with the outer air by means
Of q one-inch channel, which extends
along the edge of the three trays Along
the two sides of the trays are fitted a
pair Of steel bands, which come to-
gether between the trays, and are fas-
tened and unfastened by simple press
ure of the thumb.
The peculiar nature of the lining of
the tub, Sandow claims, makes it i'm
possible for any moisture to remain
in the trunk, so that the most delicate
fabrics may be carried without the
slightest fear of damage.

Catholic. Change Their Prayers.

No stronger indication could be af-
forded of the sagacity and statesman
ship of the present pontiff than the
tendency which he manifests to comply
with the requirements of the demo-
cratic spirit of the age. For centuries
past the Catholics are annually called
upon, in a midsummer papal brief, to
make use of prayers for "the peace and
good understanding of Christian
princes and rulers" In the brief that
bears the date of July last, contain
ing the customary instructions with re-
gard to these prayers, the ancient for
mula disappeared, and the pope, H.
stead of calling upon the faithful to
pray for "the union of Christian rulers"
asks them to pray for "the freedom of
the church, and for the peace and union
Of Christian nations" no mention be-
ing made of the "ruler." Attention is
called to this omission by the 0sserva-
tore Cattolico, one of the semi-official
organs Of the vatican, which does not
hesitate to describe the brief In ques-
ton as sort of indirect command to
abandon the special prayers for kings
and emperors.

LONG RANGE OF CANNON.
One of Krupp's Guns Carries Shot over
Fifteen Miles.

One of Krupp's Guns Carries Shot Over
Fifteen Miles.
The longest distance that a shot has
been fired Is few yards over IS miles,
which was the range OF Krupp's 100
ton steel gun, firing a shot Weighing e.
600 pounds, says Spare Moments. The
Hilton Armstrong gun has an extreme
range of IA miles, firing a shot weighing
1900 pounds, and requiring 900 pounds
of powder. These guns, however, proved
too expensive, being unable to stand
firing 100 times, and their manufacture
has practically been abandoned. The
p2-ton Armstrong gun hurls solid shot
for distance of 10 miles, and the dis
charge of the gun cannot be heard at the
place where the ball strikes. From -
to 10 miles is the computed range of the
most powerful guns now made, and to
obtain that range an elevation Of near
ly As degrees is found to be necessary.
Quick-fring guns are more to be de-
pended upon at the present day than ex-
IRENE length of range, and in this re-
spect what Is considered the most won
derful OF guns, perhaps, is one of the
Maxims, which can fire as many as 600
shots minute, and yet is so light that
soldier can carry it strapped to his
back

AN AMBER FISH.
A Fish Well Known In Southern Wat
But One Rarely Seen Here.

A Fish Well Known In Southern Waters,
But One Rarely Seen Here.
The amber fshes-there are several
species of them-belong to the family
that contains the crevalles, the POM
panoes, the banded pilot, the horsefsh,
and the threadfish. In shape they are
nearest like the pilot fishes; they bear
q general resemblance in shape, how
ever, to the bluefish, though not nearly
related to that fish. They are rapid and
powerful swimmers and great travellers.
The amber fishes are found In nearly all
tropical and temperate waters; in the
Mediterranean, the waters of the West
Indies and the Gulf of Mexico, and in
various parts Of the Pacific ocean. Some
of them are excellent food fshes-all
are shapely and beautiful. The larger
of them may attain a length of four feet
or more and weight of so pounds,
Large amber fishes are common on the
coast of California, where they are
among the most celebrated of the game
fishes.
On this coast, says the New York Sun,
the amber fish comes as far north as
Cape Cod, but rarely; one taken in a
pound net in Gravesend bay in July Of
the present year is perhaps the first of
its particular species of which there is
record here. This fish was little more
than 80 inches in length, and 1t weighed
about 10 pounds.

A Great Victory.

Yesterday was q memorable day
in the history of the Trinity M. E.
church, corner Avenue G and Pecan
street. For several years the
church has been under q mortgage
of about $1,000. Since Christmas
last the pastor and congregation
have been working constantly to
free the church from debt.
Yesterday, st the morning ser.
vice, the pastor, Rev. r. l.. Selle,
announced to the congregation that
a sufficient sum had been collected
and pledged to liquidate the debt
except $3.50. The announcement
was received with much enthu-
siasm. Mr.. Kerr made a short but
stirring appeal to the congregation
and urged that the last $3.50 be
raised Immediately. He headed
the list with a handsome contribu-
ton. Enthusiasm rose. Subscrip-
tions and cash began to go down
fast, and in few minutes the
whole amount was secured. The
demonstration which followed
was such as is seldom
witnessed on like occasions. The
doxology was sung over and over,
and the congregation rushed
around the altar and shook Hands
heartily over the victory for which
they had worked so long and hard.
AS soon as the subscriptions are
collected the debt will be paid and
the property released from mort.

a CASE Of rsLEpArHY.
Old Lady Appeared In Vision at TIN
Time of Her Death.

Old Lady Appeared In a Vision at the
Time of Her Death.
A gentleman took a house in Ireland
for six months and was accompanied
thither by his wife and daughters, says
Realm, The house was furnished and
had plenty of bedrooms. Therefore it
was decided not to use certain large,
long room with cupboards along one
side (Which had all been locked and
sealed up with tape) in which things be-
longing to the owners of the house had
been put away. One evening one of the
daughters going to her room saw an
old lady wrapped in shawl walking
along the passage in front of her. The
old lady appeared to know her way and
hurried on without hesitation into the
unused room. The girl called her sister
and they followed the dame into the
room. But all was silent; no one was
there; the dust lying about showed no
signs of footprints.
Shortly after the same young lady
was reading on the hearthrug by fire
light. Looking up she beheld the old
lady standing in the doorway watching
her. Greatly frightened, she sprang up
and, rushing downstairs, was found
fainting at the drawing-room door. AT
last the family returned to Dublin. One
day when friend was calling the curl
Gus incident which have narrated was
referred to. The young lady very I'M
willingly told her eNDeriencess The Wis
itor seemed much struck and asked for
an accurate description of the old lady.
For" said she, that house belonged
to two old ladies, sisters, and when they
let their house they went 30 reside at
GENEVA. One of them, answering ex-
actly to the description you have given,
died at the time you saw her appear.
