ESCAPE MADE DIFFICULT.

An Elaborate Device to Put an End
to Jail Deliveries.
From the Louisville Evening Post.
One of the neatest inventions that have
been made recently is the one planned by
F. V. Simms Mr.. Simms was greatly in
terested in the jail delivery, and imme-
dfately after the prisoners escaped he set
to work to devise a plan to prevent any
similar occurrence. Mr.. Simms proposes to
surround each cell by an air-tight COM
partment. This will be filled with carbon
dioxide under a pressure much higher than
that of air. In each compartment there
marble, covered by diluted sulphuric acid
This will fill the tank with the gas. In an
other part of the compartment a small
rubber balloon, partly filled with the air or
other gas, is held in place by a wire frame
Fastened to the top of the balloon is thin
metal plate connected to an electric WIRE
Directly over the plate is the point of a
screw, to which the other wire is fastened
This screw is turned until 1t almost touches
the plate, and the wires are connected with
bell and q battery.
When prisoner bores a hole through the
wall OF his cell the carbon-dioxide fills the
room and he Is asphyxiated. In the mean
time, the pressure being reduced in the
compartment, the balloon will expand, and
the plate will come in contact with the
screw. When the circuit is closed the bell
Will ring and arouse the turnkeys. Mr..
Simms did not explain about ventilation
and this seems to be the chief drawback to
the plan. 1t would be a simple matter for
the prisoner to open his windows and al
low the gas to escape. This might be pre-
vented. however. by connecting two sets
OF wires with the plate and screw, and the
second current will cause an outside shut
to- t. fall and cover the window. This
would hardly be necessary, as the sound
of the bell would be sufficient to prevent a
prisoners escape. The wires to the bell
are inside of the walls, so that they cannot
be cut by deceitful trusty

APPLICATION OF A FABLE,

He Wore Sleeps Clothes, but Proved
to BE n Wolf In the Fold.
From the Lo ldon Telegraph.
TIE story of the ass who clothed himself
in lions skin in order to pass himself off
as the king of beasts is well known, but the
tale of the thief who got inside a sleeps
skin to be better able to carry on his ne
farous trade has yet to be told. Early this
at the slaughter houses of Paris, were
effect an entrance into the inclosure where
creatures of its kind were stationed. But
the officers attention was redoubled when a
mans hand protruded from beneath the
stolen fleece. Their curiosity became in
tepsifed and they carefully followed the
sham animal, who stopped at the pen which
inclosed the real articles, and with great
coolness chose the two largest and fattest
of the flock.
Still observed by the watchful guardians
of the law, this plagiarist of an ancient
fable proceeded to kill and cut up his cap
ture, and was on the point of making off
with his booty, when he found himself in
turn the spoil of the law, and was quickly
marched off to the police station, where he
gave his name as Eugene Lassot. From his
account he made a good living out of his oc-
cupation by selling the meat to various
butchers. For some time, at least, it is to be
hoped that the animals at the abattoirs will
cease to be sent to an earlier death by the
depredations of this latest wolf in sleeps
clothing.

HOTELS AND INSOMNIA.
A Palace Loses Its Attractions ii
Sleep is Impossible.

A Palace Loses It's Attractions If
Sleep is Impossible.
From Foreign Exchange.
The beauty of the new hotels erected
daily at health resorts. seaside places and
on the Riviera cannot be denied. The
windows are light and airy, the ceilings
high, the reception rooms superb, the ap-
pointments of bed rooms and bath rooms
II xurious and costly No reasonable ex-
pense is spared, and yet these splendid,
palatial abodes are often deserted by in
valids and comfort lovers for the more
homely and dowdy hostelries. The reason
of this is not far to seek Most of these
hotels are intolerably noisy. They are run
up lightly, the walls are thin, the floors
are neither fire nor sound-proof, so that
to dwell in them is rather like living under
sounding board or being compressed into
box with voices all around you. The
new spring locks of the, doors sound like
miniature cannons going off; there is the
inevitable man overhead who goes to bed
late after a cheerful bout Of boot throwing
and dragging of portmanteaus, while he
whistles loudly or talks in a high baritone
to his friend next door.
Then beside you is the early riser, who
takes a walk before breakfast, and is pre-
pairing for a pedestrian or bicycling tour
The waiter whispers in hoarse tones to the
chambermaid outside, while she pertly rat
ties cans and baths as a f1irtatious accom-
paniment in response. To the weary in
valid in search of rest and sleep these
things are unspeakably annoying. What is
palace in which you cannot close your
eyes in comparison to the humble cot where
gentle slumber courts the weary eyelids?
Insomnia is the growing malady of the age
Thomas Carlyle began the agoniZed moan
of rebellious nature, and it has gone on
ever since. Sleep is the one boon, the one
&C cCmforter, for which of these latter
days crave, and when we go faint and
weary to the seashore or to the glowing
southern land of oranges it is pertinacious-
ly denied us.

A GREAT SATISFACTION.
How a Horse Got Even With a BrutaI
Fellow.

u
Fellow.
From the Youths Companion
A correspondent tells story of a hand
some black horse, so big and strong that he
seemed hardly to feel the weight of the
heavy delivery wagon with which he made
the rounds of the neighborhood. His driver
was brutal fellow, who ought to have been
the creature driven. Blows, kicks and angry
words were the only caresses he ever be-
slowed upon his steed and these the horse
suffered quietly for many long day, till
finally even his endurance gave out.
One hot morning the man refined the horse
in roughly by the curbstone. On dismount-
ing he seemed to think the wagon too near,
and harshly ordered his steed to back, en-
phasizing the command with cut from his
whip. The horse backed obediently, though
tions, took off his coat, and, having hung it
over the dashboard, disappeared In the
house.
The horse waited until the driver was out
of sight, then, looking around, he saw the
coat hanging only short distance from his
heels. Instantly change came over him.
He actually seemed to laugh as he lifted one
foot and let it fly at the coat
Finding that he could not hit it we'll, he
began to beat a regular tattoo upon it; first
with one foot, then with the other, and,
finally, as he grew excited. with both at
once.
Surely no coat ever had a more thorough
busting. Out flew note books. papers and
handkerchiefs, and rolled into the gutter
but the horse kept on until he heard a door
slam and he knew his master was return
ing. Then, with a final kick that sent the
coat under the wagon, he settled sleepily
down in the shafts, and pretended to be
watching pair of mules that had just gone
by.
He didn't seem to mind the slaps the
driver gave him while picking up his be-
longings, and when he started off he looked
up at the window and appeared to wink at
those who had been watching him, and half
wishing they could reward him with peck
of oats.

Are the motormen improving in like
ratio with the improved appliances in street
railway equipment" was asked the man
ager
almost, but not quite. In the olden days
drivers and conductors were of the lower
class. Their appearances and their actions
were certainly against them, which was
calculated TO thoroughly convince the pub
lie that they were little on the tough or
der. The driver in those days generally
was an uncouth and ill-mannered per-
son, given to profanity that he would in
dulge in on the slightest provocation, re-
gardless Of the time or place Go out on
the front platform now and smoke your
cigar and careleSsly watch the few drivers
that are still at work. I'll wager a new hat
that you will lose your patience before
he does and maybe indulge in profanity.
The motormen may swear, but they are
isolated now, and no one can hear them.
THE conductor has always been a grade
higher. Yet he. too, lacked many of the
instincts that go toward the makeup of a
gentleman. The hours on duty were many.
the work not by any means pleasant. while
the pay was small 1t was generally the
bully and the man of all work who applied
for jobs of collecting fares or driving.
There was but little system. When the
horses were liberated from the drudgery
and the grip and electric motor came into
play, the men who handled the lines and
those who collected the fares also made
their exit The individual of low intelli-
gence, of slovenly habits and waspish dis
position found the change too radical for
him, and he did not even attempt to make
a trial, which the company was willing to
give to those of its more faithful employees.
Veteran Employees.
"Some of these old and well-tried en-
ployes are still with the companies, men
who have been on street cars for years. and
1 must say their patience is something re-
markable. They may not be over polite,
but they never answer back. You can tell
a new man by this one fault. Passengers
may have been neglected by the motormen
or gripmen and when they get on the rear
end of the car pour their complaint into the
as matter of course, but the new men,
mans fault, will generally answer back
and make trouble worse.
More men by hundreds are now employ
ed than in times gone by, SO it is estimated
that fully nine-tenths of the employees are
men who have entered service since rapid
transit has been inaugurated. The rowdy
element has been displaced altogether. The
motormen. gripmen and conductors of the
present time are more ectable-apDear-
ing and more genteel than the men of the
fore and aft platform of fifteen years ago.
Washington, as a rule, is a good city to
work in for street railway employees. In
the winter there is only about six weeks
hard weather and likewise in the summer.
The motormen from other cities tell me
that the wide streets are a great benefit
to them, as it gives them an even chance in
avoiding accidents In the next ten years
at the most every road in the city will be
worked by electricity, faster time will be
made as the people will be used to the
new order of things and the men will be
paid better and be of still higher grade as
to intelligence and neral character"
