TURNS HIM OVER IN BED.
A CAlifornis Man Invcnts Machine to
Prevent Insomnia.

- ObAhfornlo uhn ~ TAoohAho -
Prevent Insomnia.
Walter Hyde Of Alameda, CAL, has iu'
vented q contrivance that turns him over
In bed once every hour during the night.
When Mr.. Hyde retires, he winds up
clock attached to his bed, and regularly
every hour when the clock strikes the mat
tress Is gently twisted in such manner as
TO cause the occupant to roll over. Mr..
Hyde Is man of advanced age and does
not enjoy the best of health. His greatest
physical inconvenience has been an incom-
plete circulation Of the blood, causing
sleeplessness. II no remains In one posi-
tion for any length Of time, q mild form OF
paralysis follows and sleep becomes hope
less.
Being somewhat of q mechanical turn
of mind, Mr.. Hyde concluded to expert
ment. The result Of his tinkering and
thinking Is the mechanical contrivance
which hourly turns him over without
awaking him from his slumbers, and
which he says works SO charmingly that
his paralysis with accompanying sleepless-
moss is thing of the past.
The frame on which the mattress rests
hangs from the bedstead by means Of PIN
ions, one ut the head and the other at the
foot. The frame Is Kept In position by be-
ing secured at the sides to a clocklike ap-
paratus with cogs and levers to tilt the
mattress frame, the motion OF the rocking
being governed by the clock and spring
apparatus.
The fitting of the frame Is so nicely
graduated that the sleeper is unconscious
OF the change, but continues undisturbed
In his nights sleep, as the mechanism at
taohed to the frame automatically changes
his position during the hour to the right
or left side as the case may be.
The angle at which the frame Is tilted
is never so much at its greatest that the
sleeper on a wide mattress is in danger Of
being rolled out Of bed.

A TIRE TRUST.
Trying to Form n Syndicate to Control
the Whole Trade.


Trying to Form n Syndicate to Control
the Whole Trade.
A syndicate, headed by Charles X. Flint,
treasurer of the United States Rubber
company, is endeavoring to form combi-
nation to control the bicycle tire business
of the country and to float large COM
pany with both American and English cap
ital The rubber tire trade has grown in
a few years to such enormous proportions
and competition was beginning to cut so
koenly into profits that "a combination OF
some sort has been figured on by various
interests for some time.
The first attempt at this was made last
summer, when a syndicate was formed TO
Sloat principally In England, u corpora
tion based on tho business Of Morgan IS
Wright of Chicago, makers Of double tubs
tires.
II both the double and single tube inter-
ests can DO brought into the scheme, 10
will take on greater magnitude. just how
far toward success in this direction the
promoters have gone they decline to say.
IL the Tillinghast and Morgan & Wright
interests can be combined, tho whole bicy-
Gle tire business will be controlled.
An English account0nt Is said TO be
drawing up report Of the business OF the
Morgan a. Wright company. Their trade
In one year, it Is said, amounted to co.
600, 900.
The United States Rubber company Is
manufacturing tires In one OF Its factories,
but not TO any great extent. Mr.. WINS Is
said to bo In London now representing this
latest Flint syndicate New York World.

LYNN BUILDING BURNED.

Entire Stock.

Lynn, Mass. Jan. A three-story
wooden building. S27 to SCI Washington
street. owned by Stephen Breed and
occupied by number of manufacturing
firms, was completely destroyed by fire
yesterday morning. vAth q loss to the
owner and occupants of $4,000. The
fire started in the vicinity of the boiler
room, and when discovered was burning
briskly.
By the time the first engines arrived
the flames had firm hold on the build
ins,. ana as the contents were of tinder
like nature. there being two box facto-
ries In the structure, IL was only a mat
ter of few minutes before the entire
building was enveloped. Additional fire
apparatus was summoned, and by hard
work the firemen managed to keep the
fire from spreading to adjoining prop
erty. The losses by the fire are as fol-
lows:
Ruilling, owned by stephen Breed,
loss $4,000. Insurance $4,000; Thomas
Collier. Jr., box manufacturer, loss $4,000,

circle above. A loop OF glass, which pro-
duces "a light shadow on the fiuorescent
plate, and q loop Of tin foil Of the same
shape, which produces a black shadow,
were successively held up between the h0ad
and the light, and the impressions Of both
were minutely and accurately described.
The same was tried toward the side OF the
head and the back OF the head, and similar
but weaker impressions were described.
DR.. Cooke tried 90 give an idea OF the
way In which these objects Impressed him.
He said they gave him the idea of weight
and Of extension. He had feeling or
something stretched out SO long, and In
such or such a direction, and this some
thing felt in his mind like defined heavi-
ness or weight. When the object was not
held In a perfect position between him
and the lighted tube, he described IL AS
ono sees 1t in the horoscope, with longer
or shorter shadows.
As DIR. Cooke was anxious TO establish
the difference between the effect OF the elec-
trioity streaming upon him from the tube
and the effect Of the shadow of the objects
cast upon his brain, he had the Tesla coil
disconnected from the tube and passed its
current through his body. The Tesla in
strument SO mobiles the power Of this
great flow of electricity that its effects can
be sustained without danger. When the
doctor took the current. 1t was supposed
that the Roentgen tube had been shut of.
But he said in surprise, "Why l feel the
same effect as before" Upon which 1t was
discovered that the tube had not been
turned off. When 1t was finally removed
from the circuit, he at once stated that he
felt nothing. This was one of the most
convincing incidents of the evening All
through the session a convincing feeling OF
the doctors genuineness and sincerity mas
tered those present. Times

Most of the newspapers In reviewing the
