TURNS HIM OVER.
Machine That shifts an Oid Man In His
Bed.


Bed.
The San Francisco Examine tells
about a man who has invented an APP
paratus to turn him over in bed. The
man is Walter Hyde. He lives in Ala
media, Cal. Mr.. Hyde is quite old and
is troubled with an incomplete circu-
lation of the blood, causing sleepless-
ness. If he remains in one position
long a mild form of paralysis follows
and he cannot sleep at all. Mr.. Hyde
concluded that if he had some mechan-
zeal means to turn himself over hourly
at night he could go to sleep and not
be under the necessity Of awakening.
Being somewhat of mechanical turn
of mind, Mr.. Hyde concluded to ex-
pertinent. The result of his tinkering
and thinking is the mechanical con-
trivance which hourly turns over
without awakening him from his.
slumbers and which he says works
accompanying sleeplessness is a thing
of the past. The frame on which the
mattress rests hangs from the bedstead
| by means of pinions, one at the head
and the other at the foot. The frame
is kept in position by being secured
at the sides to a clock-like apparatus
with cogs and levers to tilt the mat
tress 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 con-
tinues undisturbed in his nights sleep,
as the mechanism attached to the
frame automatically changes his posi-
ton during the hour to the right or the
left side as the case may be.

A Child md the Letters.

An ingenious person named krohn,
whose patience is evidently more
highly developed than his sense of hui
NOR, has been making some expert
ments that are SUPPOSED TO be very i'm
portant to scientific teachers. He has
found that it takes a young child 364-
1000 of a second to recognize the letter
C, 35S-1000 of a second to recognize the
letter t; while the word c-a-t as a
whole is recognized in 339-1000 of a
second Therefore, he says, primary
teaching should be done by words and
not by letters, and the letters should be
1-12 of an inch high and printed in q
line not more than four inches long.
We don't know exactly how he has dis
covered all these things, but that does
not matter, for he is evidently a very
profound person. We have done some
figuring ourselves on the basis of his
researches and we find that, following
out his method and adopting his kind
of a reading book, a child of years
in an average daily lesson would each
day save 97S9-10000 of a minute out Of
it's valuable time. Think of that

An Observatory Is Now Being Built

An Observatory Is Now Being Built
There.
The Philadelphia Times has been in
vestigating the subject of observatories
on mountain tops, and in a recent is
sue printed long story from its Paris
correspondent about the observatory
now being built on the apex of Mount
Blanc by NJ. Jansen, says the New
York World. The Times prints pic
ture showing how the material for the
structure was carried up the precipi-
tous mountain by guides, each OF
whom was able to convey about nifty
pounds at a trip. Some years ago an
other Frenchman, VI. Vallot, construct
ed an observatory on a rock within
about 400 feet of the top. NJ. Vallot
had tried TO build one higher up, but
could find no suitable location for the
structure. Ice and snow do not offer
advantages for the foundation OF a
house, especially when it will be sub
jected TO the heavy winds that shrek
around the summit of mountain. M.
Jansen, however, expects to succeed
completed next fall. The Times gives
the following figures showing the altl-
tudes at which observatories have been
established: Arequipa (CharchanD,
Peru, 1850 feet high; Janssens Mont
Blanc, France, 1915 feet high; Pixies
peak. Colorado, 15,20S feet high; Mon
ia Rosa, Italy, 1886 feet high; VAL
lots, Mont Blanc, France, 1920.

MYsferiea of Helium.

chemists believe 1t consists of two

satisfactorily to divide it. Professor
Ramsay, one Of its discoveries. has

Even Ceylon has an agricultural col
lege, and as result vine-growing has
been introduced into that isle. The
Indian Agriculturist says: Experiments
in viticulture in Ceylon have been turn
ing out very satisfactorily, and 1t is
within the range of possibility that
grape-growing and wine-making may
be established as a supplementary in
dustry to tea-planting in that IA

Only few months elapsed from the
planting of the vines to their showing

of grapes resulted. There has been

DYSPEPSIA PROOF.
The Eskimos Defy All Laws of Hyg.sEs
and Thrive.

and Thrive.
Much is said about American dyspep-
STA, but there is one snative race OF
America that is certainly not greatly
troubled by the modern curse, says
Popular Science News. The sturdy
little Eskimos defy all the laws OF
hygiene and thrive. The Eskimo,
like the ordinary dweller in America,
eats until he is satisfied, but there is
this difference, that he never is salts
fed while a shred of the feast remains
unconsumed. His capacity is limited
by the supply, and by that only. He
cannot make any mistake about the
manner of cooking his food, for as a
rule he does not cook it, nor so far as
the blubber or fat of the arctic animal
is concerned, about his method of eat
ing it, for re simply does not eat it;
he cuts it into long strips an inch wide
strips down his throat as one might
lower a rope into a we'll. And after
that he does not suffer from indiges-
! ton. He can make meal off the flesh
and skin of the walrus, provision so
hard and gritty that in cutting up the
animal the knife must be continually
sharpened. The teeth of little Eski-
mo child will meet in a bit of walrus
skin as the teeth of an American child
would meet in the flesh of an apple
And that when the hide of the walrus
is from one-half to one and one-hali
inches in thickness and bears consid-
cradle resemblance to the skin of an
elephant. The Eskimo child will bite
it and digest it, too, and never know
what dyspepsia means.

1t is refreshing to turn to one inter-
national marriage where the BRIDE
groom was not a fortune hunter. 1t is
that of the daughter of Millionaire
Claus Spreckles to Mr.. Watson, San
Francisco broker, of English birth.
But then this was not match arranged
by the brides parents. They objected
strenuously and the couple eloped.
Papa Spreckles had settled a million
or two on his daughter. She was a
high-spirited girl and did not want to
oe beholden to her papa for her fortune
since she had married without his con-
sent. Her husband told her he mar
ried her for herself and not for her
millions, and Mrs. Watson promptly
decided back to her father the property
he had given her TO the tune of
couple of millions. But then it is moi
likely they will ever know the pangs
of want.
