Louisville, KY, Oct. 25.-Another daring
iai, delivery was perpetrated tonight at
tba county tail, shortly after $50 o'clock
and six desperate prisoners made their
escape.
The delivery was supposed to be a
wholesale one, in which every prisoner
confined on the third floor of the old jail
was to get out but the watchfulness
Of the turkeys prevented this, and only
six men escaped.
None of the escaped prisoners had been
captured up to midnight This Is the

At supper the hostess ground and cook

in a similar manner, and was smeared

An explanation of the operation or
railway air-brakeS recently published
brings it within the comprehension of
the most ineXpert: Under each of the
cars is a rubber pipe connected with an
air compressor on the engine. This
pipe leads to and supplies an air reser-
voir under each car. These reservoirs
are loaded from the engine with com.
pressed air to the amount of seventy
pounds each. The pressure of this air
keeps open the brakes. and as long as
the compressed air remains in the reSer-
voirs under the carr the brakes are
open. BY turning the lever on the en-
CINE the compressed air is released. and
as it is released the brakes on each OF
the cars close automatically. pressing
against the wheels and practically lock
ing them. AS soon as the train is
brought to a full stop. Of which the
painting of the compressed air as II eS-
capeS from under the cars gives notice.
the reservoirs are again filled by a turn
Of the lever on the engine. and this fills
.he reservoirs under the cars. and there
by automatically releases all the brakes
at once There have been many other
devices for the safeguarding OF the
lives of travellers. but il is doubtful If
.he interests of safety have been pro
NOTED more extensively by any otheT

WITH BABIES FOR BAIT,
Hunters in CeyIon Lure Crocodiles to
Their-Heath-


The fondneSs of crocodileS for babies
Is used by hunters in Ceylon to lure
the reptiles to death. A nice, fat baby
is tied by the leg to a stake near some
pond or lagoon where crocodiles
abound. Soon the child begins crying
and the sound attracts the crocodiles
within hearing distance. They start
out Immediately for the wailing infant.
The hunter in the meantime conceals
himself in the bushes or swamp grass
near the baby. with a rifle in his hanl
projecting out and almost over the
child. He remains perfectly quiet and
the reptile, intent on its prey, notices
nothing but the screaming and kicking
child. AS the Monster approaches to
within a few feet of the bait the hunter
sends a bullet directly into the alliga-
tors eye, causing instant death. A miss
would mean death for the baby. but
the hunters are expert shots and at the
short distance at which they fire a miss
is next to impossible. AS a rule the
sound Of the firearm Scares the baby
worse than the presence Of the croco-
dies jaws and the rows Of sharp and
g%listening teeth. but after being shot
