Electric Newspaper Marvel.

Word comes from st. Louis that a
genius, Joseph J. Reifgraber, has in
vented and patented an apparatus by
which Autographed compos ton can
be simultaneously re- produced electri-
cally in as many newspaper offices as
are connected with the transmitting
wire. The device is apparently a com
bined typewriter and perforating ma
chine, by which the operator does not
only print the respective characters
represented by the various keys, but
produces a strip of paper on which are
perforations for every key depressed.
The perforated slip is inserted in an
electrical transmitter, and through
identical machines at other and distant
points this perforated slip is repro
duced. This perforated slip is in.
serted into another little instrumen
attached to the Merganthaler linotype
machine, thereby automatically oper.
ating the same and setting up the mat.

instrume nts may be connected with

A live rooster that solicits business
for a poultry dealer is the boast Of the
city Of the Golden Gate, according to
the San Francisco Call.
Bob is the name Of The bird, and
likes his work, and is very successful
in his line It is many years since
Bob started in the soliciting business,
and he seemed to take 10 1t naturally.
He was brought 10 Icons in q coop
with a lot Of other chickens that have
long since been converted into soups,
broila, fricassees, ETC., but somehow
he seemed different from the rest Of
his tribe and Leon concluded 10 keep
him.
One day, after Bob had been in tho
market q month, the door Of his coop
was accidentally left open and he
walked ont Instead Of trying to
leave the neighborhood as fast as pos
sible, as most other healthy ROSTERS
would have done. Bob went on o
promenade up and down the aisles OF
the market Every few steps he would
stop and crow as much as to say that
he knew his business When he got
tired he went back to the coop, where
there was plenty to eat, aud took a
rest.
From that day he has been allowed
his liberty and is the pet of the mar
ket. When business is slack at Icons
Bob goes out to the sidewalk and
crows Naturally, n crowd gathers,
and then Bob leads them into the mar.
ket and up to his owners place OF
business Many stop to ask about
Bob, and before they leave will make
purchases Another method of Bobs
is to take one of Icons business cards
in his bill and walk up and down the
sidewalk where people can see him.
He attracts great deal of attention.
As long as Bob confines his field o.
operations to the vicinity of the
market he is all right, but he occasion
ally thinks he can catch more custom.

Legend Of sOlomon's Ring.

The Talmud tells some curious old
legends about Solomon. One is that
he had a ring on the possession Of
which depended the keeping Of his
kingdom. Once Solomon went into
the bath and left his precious ring on
shelf, when a concubine of his, Amina,
stole the ring and the fond, Sakhar,
hattered Amina and wheedled her out
of the ring, and Sakhar took the form
Of King Solomon and ruled In his
stead. Poor Solomon was put TO 1t to
regain his power, but he raised such .
irst-class Incarnation that Sakhar got
afraid and threw the ring into the sea,
and a fish swallowed it, and fishermen
caught the fish and found the ring. It
was restored to Solomon, and with II
he recovered his kingdom.

A MARYLAND BIRD STORY.

The Baltimore Sun tells a true bird
story that comes from Galesville, Nd.
Some time ago a citizen of the town
picked up young hooking bird which
had fallen from its nest. The bird,
which had become slightly disabled
from the fall, was placed in a cage in
the doorway. For three days the
parent birds have been lowering about
the premises bewailing, in bird fash
ion, the capture of member of their
family, and endeavoring to feed the
lame bird through the bars of the
cage. The other day the cage, partly
open, was removed to locust tree in
the yard Immediately the mother
of the incarcerated bird, carrying the
berry in it's mouth, few into the cage
and was entrapped Efforts will be
made to secure through the same
means the male bird, SO that the en-
tire family may be united.
