The Philadelphia Record says "When
President Mckinley and Vice President
Hobart come TO Philadelphia on Friday TO
attend the Washington monument exer-
cises, they will travel 10y different roads
1t is not generally known that the Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States never travel by rail together. II is
one OF the precautionary measures that
hedge about the lives of the two foremost
men in the national government, the idea
being that if an accident upon the rail
should cause the death of one of the illus
trious men the other would still be spared
to the country. 1t was for this reason
that eX-President Cleveland invariably
rode upon the Pennsylvania railroad when
he journeyed from the capital to this city
or New York, and Vice President Steven
son travelled on the Baltimore and Ohio.
President Mckinley and Vice-President
Hobart, when they attended the recent
Grant celebration in New York, followed
the same plan.

A Big Paper Machine.
II VIII Produce b Tons n Day of Paper
$50 Inches Wide.

Workmen are putting in place in The
mills of the Rumford Falls (Me) Paper
company piece of machinery which has no
equal in all the world. 1t is a big paper
machine, which was made in Worcester,
Mass, and will produce paper $50 inches
wide. This is - inches better than the
American mark and TWO inches better
than the worlds record II has taken
months to build the monster and its growth
has been watched with the keenest interest
by the paper trade. 1t required 30 cars to
transport the machinery from Worcester,
and its estimated weight is 10000
pounds
The machine will turn out 80 tons of fin
ished newspaper every day. 1t will deliver
a web of paper $50 inches wide at the rate
of 500 feet per minute. In other words it
will make $3.50 square feet of paper every
minute; 375, 900 per hour or, for a com
plete days work, of "A hours, 1900, 900
square feet OF paper. If a team should
back up TO the machine, fasten the end of
the web to its tail board, it would have TO
travel almost six miles an hour TO keep the
broad ribbon of paper from sagging.
OF course. there is no demand for paper
$50 inches wide but knives arranged at
the tail of the machines cut the paper at
the required width. The company had il
built OF such gigantic size for economical
reasons

To WINK 700 NIiIes ON Mntcr.

Bob Cook of Boston, who was born in
Americas, Ga. doesn't claim to be am
phibious. but he will walk on the water
from Pittsburg to Cincinnati The dis
tance is about 400 miles and a little hilly
in spots, SO some people say. A wager of
$1,000 has been made that he can't accom-
plish this feat within u days. Cook was
in the city yesterday on his way to New
Orleans, where he will go into training on
the surface of Lake Ponchartrain.
The shoes he wears are real water shoes,
feet long, inches wide and 6 inches deep,
invented by himself. There are fms on
either side of them, and there are fms on
the bottom. When he takes a step for
ward with one foot the fms close: when he
takes a step with the other foot the fms on
the shoe remaining still are opened and
form resistance to the water, preventing
him from slipping backward. Cook will
be followed down the Ohio by a launch
and press boat He says he will win.

"The Anatomy of Melancholy" by Rob

only by name, il one of the strangest pro-
ducts of the human mind. Burton was a
Lne4duCAoIII patieA-' man WIN IL Inc
present day would, by experts, be pro-
nounced unquestionably insane. His work
was written to relieve his leisure hours and
gives a complete analysis of the character,
signs, indications and tendencies of hypo-
chondria, and, taken all together, is prob
ably the most curious tumble of any and
every kind of literary matter that was ever
collected between two covers. Burton was
a man of immense learning, but OF ill-bal-
anced reason, while his ideas crowded upon
him faster than he could express them.
They were under so little control that all
sorts of incongruous notions jostle one
another in his pages. His plan, as propos-
ed in his table of contents, is good, but the
execution is so poor that frequently the
headings give very inadequate idea of the
contents of the chapter.

second defeat to a Brattleboro picked nine
