THE MECHANISM BEGAN


its smooth, noiseless motion, the cylin-
der revolving on its axis, pressed softly
by the electric pencil passing along its
face. Then, as the inventor brought
his head within a foot Of the recorder,
directing his mind upon the machine, a
thin, cloud-like thread wound spirally
about the glistening film from left 10
right. This was the Thought Record,
which, after several minutes of silent
work, had overspread the entire film
with its smoky, tinted coils. The rec
ord finished, Mr.. Emmner released a
circuit button, the mechanism stopping
as noiselessly as it began, and invited a
test Of the record, no better idea Of
whose accuracy can be given than to
state that, by arrangement with the in
yentor, number Of thoughts forming
the descriptions in this article, have
been thought into and received from
the Thought Machine. In perfectly log
ical sequence The wizard Of thought
then continued to chat pleasantly to the
correspondents.
Some notable developments from eX-
perimenting with thought records, -
said he, "are that languages, as well
as words, have each their distinct, in
telligible records; that emotions Of like
kind have like vibratory records, while
sUperimpOsed records of violently-dif-
fering emotions tend to produce temper
airy insanity in the re-thinker; that an
imam 'sagacity,' so called, has likewise
a characteristic vibratory record, we'll
nigh amounting to a language, but also
deleteriOus to the re-thinker; that
thought is the explosion Of the mind as
yOcality is the explosion OF the mouth
that a captive human being, held for
chilly against his will within recording
distance Of the machine, involuntaTily
registers his thoughts; that thought has
color as well as vibration, and that it is
conveyed, with varying distincness, to
all the ganglionic and nervous-vital
CENTRES OF THE BODY.
'The uses of the Thought Machine
will be more extensive than can pos
sibly be predicted" concluded Mr..
Emmner. "TO the law it will be in
valuable for the involuntary cOnvic-
tion of criminals by the automatic reg
istration of the thoughts Of their crimes.
The last wishes Of the dying can also
be given in irrefutable record, Of vital
Importance in the settlement of estates.
In medicine, it must prove equally in
dispensable for treating the insane,
whose condition can be unerringly
found by this delicate but unsympathet-
ic examiner; while, in connection with
the e,ecToscope, it will prove an in
estimable help for diagnosing nervous
mental diseases. In fact, broad area
for experiment in chemical electricity
and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is opened by
the new machine
ITO the business man in the intrica-
cies Of commerce, and to the author in
the niceties Of higher composition, it
will prove alike a boon, and to enquir-
ers in every field of science it will fur
nish new and reliable means of veri-
ficatiOn.. So that the practical effect
of the Thought Machine in our daily
life will thus be to save much of the
most valuable thought of the world
which now goes to waste, and to tighten
labor by facilitating its transmission
to mankind"

Efforts of E. E. Boyer TO Secure Tourists.
Epidemic Interfered Last Year Citizens
Expected to Contribute 10 New Scheme.
Book Will be Published by Mr.. Walker.

The necessity for a Bureau of Infor-
nation has been felt in all Hawaii ever
since the old one faded into a misty
nothing. For a year past tourist ira
vel to Hawaii has been greatly reduced
mainly because there has been no or
ganized plan for booming it.
Something over year ago E. E.
Boyer arranged with a few business
men for a commission to be paid him
provided he would send, not less than
five tourists per month to the Island.
The Oceanic Steamship Company also
made some kind of an agreement with
Mr.. Boyer and he started off to do
something. His plan was to travel in
the United States as far east as Omaha,
and by lectures and lantern slide ex-
hibitions, get the people enthused on
the subject.
When he got as far east as Cedar Ra-
pids he organized a large party, got out
flaming posters and everything looked
we'll for start to be made early in
September. Then the cholera made it's
appearance and the trip was abandon
ed. Later Mr.. Boyer organized party
in Chicago and something else inter-
fered with it. Then Mr.. Boyer aban-
doned the idea; the support given him
was not sufficient to warrant his ex-

States up to point where they would
desire to come to the islands.
In a recent letter from Mr.. Boyer, he
states that the beauties of the islands
are comparatively unknown to the vast
population of Chicago and advertising
matter is needed. He asked that copies
of the Paradise of the Pacific be sent
him and Frank Hoogs has complied
with the request.
F. @. EytenW Walker, who once visited
Japan for the old Bureau of Informa-
ton, has in contemplation a scheme
for bringing the beauties of the islands
to the attention of the tourists abroad,
but it is a scheme that will require the
support of the public spirited citizens.
duced forty tourists, through the aid
of well executed photographs and pho
gravures, literally distributed in the
hotels at Yokohama and Toxic, to visit
the islands. Mr.. Walkers visit to
Japan was short and the terms of his
engagement was something in the ma
ture of the terms on which tramp
tourists go around the globe, start out
with nothing and coming back with
less. He was given his steamship
ticket and 5000 and out of this money
he had to pay expenses. Any money
to be paid for putting up photographs
was borne by him out of the 5000 given
him by the bureau.
Mr. Walkers plan is to publish a
small hand book of the islands con-
tanning well executed views of the prin-
cipaI points of interests here. In order
that the book would not be altogether
an expense he would introduce special
advertising matters which would not
detract from the beauty of the book.
When it is published Mr. Walker
proposes visiting the States and talk
money TO spend in visiting new lands.
He has already received the support of

it consist in mere idle listening to the

Engagements OF pupils at their desks.
What they doing? What is busy work :?
Is it always profitable? Are the chill

Mr.. Townsend said that the essential
principle of instruction is that the
mind begins everything, with an indi-
vidual idea and must from that reach
out generaliza ton and application. He
illustrated by the familiar act of hold
ing out two fingers and two fingers to
make eour fingers. But after the con-
crete the child must reason to the alb
stract and discover that all two's and
two's make four.
Mr.. Townsend also illustrated the
statement that II of 1 equals Il of 3,

of paper folded into fourths and cut to

is not a test of literacy. Does the child

Reading may be a mans ruin if it is

Curious Colorado Moose.

A curious physical formation which
has separated animal life from the
possible approach of man is one of the
Flap Top mountains in Garfield coun-
ty. This mountain stands up like a
gigantic cube. On one side is per-
ceptble the place where the connect
ing link with its broad and level sum-
nit was centuries ago. Marks of n
hog back, which once ran out and
down to the other mountains, can be
plainly seen. From the vantage points
some miles away tieldglasses will dis
close on a clear day moving animals
on the great mesa. Those who have
been there pronounce them as beyond
doubt species of the moose, bearing
the fiat, broad horns and having the
shambli&g actions of these animals,
now unknown to the game seekers In
this section of the United States. The
animals on the top of this mesa are
extremely shy of hunters, and two or
three schemes have been tried TO cap
ture them, but always failed.
Several parties of Indian hunters
who make the Book plateau their hunt
ing grounds have attempted to climb
the rugged steep that leads to the top,
and one Indian who succeeded IN seal
ing it for forty or fifty feet was killed
by falling from his perch. The lndl-
ans describe the animals as strongly
resembling the moose, although of

Explosive Bullets.

Ordinary rifle balls have long ago
been found unsatisfactory, not only in
hunting the elephant and rhinoceros,
but also in attacks on the lion and the
tiger. Such ball seldom penetrates
the thick skin of an elephant or hip
popotamus, or the skull of the large
felines, and, if it does, it only irritates
the punctured animal. Hence eXplo-
sive balls are now generally ased
The body of the explosive balls Is of
lead, enclosing brass shell closed at
both ends and filled with power. Into
the bottom of this shell is fitted per-
cussion cap, to be exploded by pin
whose head projects beyond the shell,
but which the still further projecting
leuden envelope prevents from prema-
ture action.
When the shot is fired the powder
gases drive the brass shell forward,
the broad foot of the she'll becoming
firmly wedged in the lead. The head
of the pin then projects so that, on
contact with the object fired at, it
the ball. The projectiles are called
Podevil's balls. ..,
In the balls usually employed in
hunting elephants in particular there
is no brass shell. The steel pin is in
serted in through the point of the hol-
low ball; the cavity is then filled with
powder and closed with a screw carry
ing the percussion cap.
A still more original and more ex-
penslve ball for the same kind of
sport is that invented by Baron
| Waterskitchen, consisting of II steel
tube having an outer covering of lead.
The front end of the tubes is
finely tempered and sharpened. This
wicked, hollow projectile cuts like a
punch through flesh and bone, through
thick or thin, and 50 far remains I'M

THE COM NJ ANDER'S EASTER
BY RHODES CAMPBELL.

All Akenside was stirred by the news
that the commander would be home
for Easter. To the younger genera
ton he was "a hero, perhaps all the
more so on account of his long alb,
sence. Then he was a naval officer,
and he had had n romance, which
keenly interested the young people
especially.
He had never visited our little town
since he had left it that memorable
day after his unfortunate marriage.
Rumors of this and that had reached
the ears OF the good folk of Akenside,
but it was from an intimate friend OF
Barbara Lippincott that | heard the

his home during holiday times at the
Lippincotts', who were old friends of
his mother. He was at college with
Ned Lippincott, and then was sud-
denly seized with the fever to be a
sailor. An influential friend of his
fathers gained him the appointment ;
he passed the requisite examination,
and entered the Naval Academy. He
had graduated, and was about to enter
upon his new duties, when his health
suddenly failed. 1t was a not uncom-
mon story of fine physique and per-
feet health ruined by persistent disre-
gard of all hygienic rules. He came
to the only home he had known for
years, as every one thought, to lie.
He did not give up without desper-
ate struggle. He consulted the best
physicians, who all agreed that his

watching the pretty figure in the per

brought out with startling clearness
the golden hair, deep blue eyes and
fair skin of Barbara Lippincott.
"Bab, come here, will you?" he
asked.
Something new IN his tone made the
girl look at him apprehensively as she
oboyed him. He was lying on the low

him. The contrast between the strong

overcome by his unexpected confession
and request, could only beg him to
give her time.

AIife for a Match.

IL frequently happens that the fumes
inhaled by workmen in match fac
tories destroy life within a few months
A man once attacked by the disease
lurking IN these factories must aban-
don hope of recovery. Although
matches are vert simple little affairs
their manufacture EecessItates a
large and complex manufacturing
plant. The little sticks undergo q
long treatment and must pass through
many hands before they are capable of
striking a light.
The apparently harmless sulphur
tips are in reality a deadly poison, and
the fumes arising from this mixture
when in course of preparation cause
terrible suffering and ultimate death.
Although called sulphur matches, the
little sticks are in reality tipped with
a complex mixture composed of glue,
chloratc of potash, PHOSPHORUS and
whiting, combination frequently
used for suicidal purposes.
The poisonous fumes first attack the
teeth which have begun to decay. Al
though all sorts of devices are en-
ployed to keep them from getting in
the mouth, they generally manage to
do so. If all the teeth are perfectly
sound, the fumes soon start the decay.
As soon as this action has commenced
the decayod part spreads rapidly tow
ard the jaws. All the teeth are affected
in a short time, and the disease when
1t has once taken root in this way, can
never be driven out.
The effect OF this action is to rapid
ly loosen every tooth in the sufferers
head, so that they will fall out of their
own accord. Before this happens,
however the portion has spread to
the jaw and taken "A firm grip upon It,
The pain which the victim suffers in
the meanwhile is exceedingly sharp.
The course of the disease never VARIES
Having once reached the jaw bone, it
soon covers it, and the bone in this
way becomes actually coated with "a
deposit of sulphur.
The only possible way to give the
victim any relief Is to scrape the bone.
This heroic measure has been tried
several times in New York city, with
more or less success. The operation
is Exceedingly painful. N. Y.Journul.
