"A n ISIS ANNIE ROSSMAN is be-
MI ing treated at the Arapahoe

- - County Hospital in Denver af-
ter having broken the record in SOM
nambulism. During her excursions
while asleep she has been rescued from
injury or death by the police more
than 150 times. Bolts, bars, handouts
and chains have all failed to keep her
within her room, and clad In night
gown she has roamed the streets of
Denver night after night.
Everything possible was done to cure
the young woman, but to no purpose
until she was placed in the hospital
There she has been watched by an
attendant, and cold water has been
thrown in her face every time she has
sought to leave her bed or escape. This
plan seems to be proving efficacious,
and for the present Mt least her sleep
walking career has been closed.
Many methods have been unsuccess-
fully adopted to restrain her from her
nocturnal excursions. The windows of
her room have been locked and the key
to the door hidden, but to no purpose
At other times she has been tied in her
bed. In releasing herself she has ex-
hibited the skill Of the conjurer, for no
knot could be tied that she was unable
to loosen. Handouts have been at
tached to her wrists and then chained
to the bed. but her hands slipped
through the rings in her sleep in a
fashion that she could not explain
when she awoke. At another time the
key to her room was placed at the bot
tom of barrel Of water, but she Sc
cured the key. and the contact with the
chilled fluid did not awaken her.
About the only instance when she
distinctly remembered having n pur-
pose in view was the time when she
was found seated on letter box with
her arm around the lampost, when she
declared she had believed herself to be
seated on rail ut the theater with her
arm about one of the supporting pill
lars.
One Of the most narrow escapes she
has had was on the occasion of a trip

college and was given n fellowship In
1853. He has held all the most import
ant offices in the college, examiner,
vice president and president. He was
elected to the headship of the institu-
ton for three successive terms, an
honor that is by no means common. In
1893 Mr.. Bryant was selected to give
the Hunterian Grafton. That year was
the centenary of the death of the ia
nous surgeon and Mr.. Bryant had for
his auditors the Prince of Wales and
the Duke of York. At the present time
Mr.. Bryant is the representative of the
college in the general medical college.
At the last election of members for the
college council he was re-electd at the
head of the poll.

AlabaStine.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor of
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned five times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
ly redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This Is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats, admits of recoating from
time to time without removing its old
coats, and hardens with age.

WONDERFUL ASLEEP

on which she started to North Denver.
She reached the bridge which crosses
Cherry Creek, but instead of crossing
the structure made her way down by
It's side, and apparently was going to
walk through the water. 1t so hap
pened that the creek was not booming
to any great extent just then, and a
policeman happened to see her action
and rescued her from drowning. Even
the shock of the water did not fairly
waken her, and it was several mo-
ments after her rescue before she en-
tirely regained consciousness.
1t has always happened that when
ever Miss Rossman has left her room
and home ut night on one of these
sleepwalking trips she has never stop
ped to don any clothing besides the
nightgown and has been guiltless of
shoes or stockings. Just how she could
so often make her way about Denver's
streets in this costume unobserved is
n matter of almost as much mystery
as the real cause of the affiiction which
has rendered her miserable for eight
years.
One night she left her home about
midnight and wandered down 21st to
Curtis street. When in front of the
Curtis street hosehouse, cable car
came upon her unexpectedly, and she
was knocked down and to one side, en-
tirely escaping injury except few
slight bruises.
Once she walked from her home to
the Union railway station. This time,
however. she had lain down without
removing her clothing, and so attract
ed less attention. She sat In the sta
ton awhile, where her peculiar actions
were noted. but there was no suspicion
that she was asleep. Finally she went
to the ticket agents window and
bought ticket for Cheyenne. Then
she left the tracks, divested herself of
most of her clothing and walked up the
track toward the approaching train.
Fortunately the engineer saw her In
time to stop before he reached her, al
though she was walking toward the
locomotive all the time.
Again she made her way down to
10th street early in the morning. when
there were heavy wagons passing up
the street. and calmly walked in front
OF one of the largest that was going
west ut n lively gait. The driver saw
her and pulled up his horses. but she
would certainly have been badly In
jured had not policeman seen her just
in time and pulled her fairly from be-
meath the horses feet. She was not
even scratched.
Once she attempted to leave her
room, in the third story of her home,
via the window. She crept through the
window, having raised the lower sash,
and, grasping the sill with both hands,

Feathered Ventriloquists.

Many birds form their sounds with
out opening their bills. The pigeon is
a well-knowh instance of this. Its COO
ing can be distinctly heard, although
it does not open its bill. The call is
formed internally in the throat and
chest, and is only rendered audible by
resonance. Similar ways may be OBJ
served in many birds and other ami
mails. The clear loud call Of the cuckoo,
according to one naturalist. is the reso-
nance of note formed in the bird. The
whirring of the snipe, which betrays
the approach Of the bird to the hunter,
is an act Of ventriloquism. Even the
nightingale has certain notes which are
produced internally, and which are au-
dible while the bill Is closed.

The popularity of the Winchester re-

it costs very little, it has repeatedly out

Thousands of shooters who used double
