A gasoline engine of three and half
horsepower is also fixed within the
covered carriage. Around this engine
winds a network of wires and steel
rods connecting with the mechanism in
the interior of the man. At the rear
of the carriage is an elevated seat for
the engineer. A speed Of about ten
miles an hour can be attained. AS the
mechanical man walks or trots up and
down the street the spectacle attracts a
crowd.
Perew is jubilant over his success,
'tThis, without doubt, is my greatest
invention" he said. ''The merry go

a young lady once called on one Of
Louisville's most prominent homeo-

on all the topics Of interest Of the da,
settled down to tell him her ailments
Among other things she said that she
was greatly annoyed withssa sinking
feeling. The phys. clan prepared a little
bottle Of pills and gave them to her,
with minute directions as to how they
should be taken. The woman again
began to talk, and after many vain ef y
forts to get her out, she started for the
door. She had just opened it, when she.
turned and said !: .tOh, doct tor, hat

"a Afonum mental Performances OF Forget
ting Spoiled tho Opera for Him.
The most monumental performance
/ of the Man / Know IN the fort getting of
faces and names was an exhibition he
made Of himself at the Maliban theater
in Venice a few years ago, says Har'-.
per's Magazine. He thought he would
like to hear an Italian opera on an
Italian stage and he purchased, at the
little ticket office in the square of st.
Mark, places for himself and his wife,
costing 80 cents each; and admission
cards for their gond oilers, at the price
sof quarter Of dollar for the two.
The opera house was crowded and it
was late when they sailed up to the
door. They had not been able to secure
the aisle seats they wanted and, in no
very amiable frame Of mind, they were
forced to push their way to the center
Of one Of the front rows Of stalls. After
they were settled the Man I Know dis
covered that on the other side Of his
wife was one Of the Stanley brothers,
who was then resident Of the conti-
nent, and had much to say to him,
finally changing seats with his COM
panion for that purpose. She asked to
be introduced to Stanley, told Stanley
how we'll she knew and how much she
liked his sister, when the curtain rose
and all conversation ceased. In the
middle of the act the Man ] Know
turned suddenly to his wife and whis-
pered: MY dear, that man is not Stan \
ley and have not the slightest notion
who he is!' During the next intermis-
sion Stanley said rather savagely to
the Man I Know that they had mis-
taken his name, and he seemed to think
that there was no excuse for his for
getfulness. The Man I Know explained
as best he could that his eyesight was
failing; that he had to wear two pairs
of glasses and that even thus armed
he could not see straight. But, Of
course, he recognized his friend now,
and with flash of inspiration he called
him Mr.. Thorpe. Thorpe was reintro-
duced in due and proper form and the
lady helped matters materially by in
dorsing her husbands statement as to:
his growing blindness, making the Man
I Know feel as comfortable as possible
by adding that her husband was an
idiot anyway. In the middle of the next
act the husband turned to her once
more and said, my dear, he isn't
Thorpe!" Without remark she left her
place, he following meekly with his
overcoat and umbrella and without SO
much as another glance at Stanley
Thorpe. They sat down in some vacant
chairs at the extreme back Of the audi
forum; she was too angry to speak
and he too mortified to think, but try
ing to make out in his humiliation and
confusion, who Thorpe-Stanley could
really be. Atythe close of the perform
ance he remembered that he had, left
his hat under Stanley horpe's seat
and he waited until Thorpe-Stanley
disappeared before he found courage
to go for it. And it was not there. He

IS Philip Perew, of this city, Is the in
ventor Of the latest novel mechanical
device. It is made Of wood, steel and
brass, and viewed from a rod or two
away it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish it from flesh and blood. .s
The first successful appearance Of
the dummy was made on the streets
Of TonaWanda last Monday evening,
and eince then it has walked up and
down the pavement nightly. .... G.
+ It was about a year ago that Mr..
Perew conceived the idea of inventing
a wooden man. He was possessed Of
ingenuity and necessary capital to
carry out his plans. A shop was built
expressly for the purpose and filled
with material to be used in the con-
struction Of his wooden wonder. After
securing the services of M. S. Loucks,
a master mechanic and experienced en-
glneer, the work was Immediately be-
gun. Perew drew the plans and
Loucks did the rest. In about six weeks
a man was finished and ready to APP
pear before the public. 1t appeared,
but was failure. The Joints were
stiff and the legs swung backward and
forward as though they were working
on a hinge joint instead of ball and
socket. Everybody laughed and wink
ed at his neighbor, saying: ..E@
What did tell you?" e. T.. ~
But Perew was not discouraged. He
took the dummy back into the shop
and smashed it to pieces. Then he
began the work all over. His efforts
seem to have been crowned with sue
cess at last. The new man is six feet
high, very stout, wears number ten
shoes and a smart cutaway suit of
clothes In the shirt front a small in
candescent light glitters, having the
appearance of an immense diamond,
The figure draws, or appears to draw,
heavy steel carriage, in which is sta
toned an electric battery which fur
nishes light for seven incandescent
lamps including the diamond in the
shirt front. &-8
