paired 1t. No doubt it is still in exis-
tence. Of more modern automatA this
is scarcely the place to speak, for they
are private secrets. Let US confine our
selves to merely mentioning MIR. Maske-
lyne's PSYCHIC" and 'Zbe. -
Like most things, automatic have not
always been what they seemed. or many
frauds upon the wonder-l loving pubic
perhaps ever completed was that OF the
fmous automatic chess player of M.
kempelen, which was exhibited all over
Europe at the end of the last century,
and afterward in America. 1t was the
figure of a life-sized Turk seated behind
a large box, the top of which was marked
in the middle for chess. Prior to the au-
tomaton's meeting an opponent the front
OF the box was opened and skeptical look.
ers-on were shown arrangements OF
tsrings, pulleys and cylinders. After
terror OF the figure, which was hollow
then III. Kempelen wound up his Turk
With a key and it was ready Ito play,
which it did by moving the places with
Its left hand, and giving three mods for
check to king and two for check to queen.
1.-the noted chess players of Europe sue
Gum bed to the figures superior strategy,
and its skill SO impressed the Empress
Catherine II of Russia that she wished to
buy it and was with difficulty persuaded
by M. Kempelen to give up the idea. 1t
was not for years that the secret was dis
covered but, like most. secrets, 1t leaked
out at last. The real chess player was
q N. WrOnsky, Polish e1-captain, both
OF whose legs had been amputated at the
trunk in consequence of wound from a
cannon hall. While the spectators were
examining tho box Wronsky was in the
Turks body and when they turned to in
spect that an ingenious mechanism slid
h1m back into the box. TO the fact that
Wronsky was a chess player of consum-
mate skill the wide fame of the automa
ton, which he secretly controlled, is to
pc attributed. After this disclosure Mr..
hempelen' IS automaton naturally enough
ceased to move mankind to wonder.

The Saint Paul Union S~tockyards Com.
pany has to announce that one of the
packers Of pork who has been located at
South ST. Paul for several years past.
Is about to remove to New Brighton.
There is little of Importance in this re-
moval, but there has been "A vast amount
of eXnggeration and misrepresentation
set afloat by Interested parties, in an
"nouncing the removal to the public,
which l deem it my duty to correct.
In the first place, the removing packer
has no interest here. except that of a
renter. and while he has occupied one
of our slaughter houses for some time
past, he has not killed a hog in said
house during the past seven or eight
months. l mention this fact to show
that his emoval will not affect our mar
ket, and that he is u a small factor
in making the prices for live stock.
do not consider this emoval an evil, as
1t will place us in a position, very shortly,
to supply his place with parties who viii
do business, ard who will have sufficient
capital to do it on a scale in keeping
with the extensive facilities that our
company has provided, and which the
present vacator has utterly failed for
the better part of the year past to utilize.
The removing packer. during the pas'
eight months. has bought less than -four
pNi NNhl W lHt tdltlt, ltSS tIdn l"o -.
cent of the sheep, and about six per cent
of the hogs that have been sold ana
received at this place; so 1t becomes az
once plain that his removal is an unim,
portant event, and when it is understooa
that his place will be filled by stronger
and better people within a briet time
1t becomes s~elf-evident that it will be a
blessing.

London, Feb. pa dispatch to the
Times from Athens says: Prime Min
lister Delyannis, in an interview Thurs
day assured me that the decision of the
government to maintain the army in
Crete was irrevocable. On the other
hand. Greece had no intention of de-
claring war against Turkey. Such a
step would only be taken If the Turks
invade Thessaly or the great powers
render the position Of the Greek army
in Crete intolerable. There was no in
tention of invading Macedonia. Crown
Prince Constance, duke Of Sparta,
shortly starts for the frontier. There Is
activity in the department Of the min
istry of war. Thousands of volunteers
are Offering their services to the gov
eminent.
The porte has demanded the imme-
date recall of the Greek consul, who,
1t is suspected, is informing Greece OF
the movements of the Turkish troops.
Canea, Crete, Feb. %. - The Turks
