A New Way to Clean Cerpee,.

There are some machines SO simple
and SO useful that, seeing them for the
first time. an observer wonders why he
did not invent them himself Such is
the pneumatic carpet-sweeper which
the Pullman company has recently
adopted. In this case. curiously enough,
no one knows who invented the article,
which q New York Journal reporter
found in active operation in the Chi.
cago yards.
Trainmen were cleaning Pullman
coaches which had Just returned from
California. Several hundred yards
away from them was the power house.

ground pipes the compressed air is car

Here a rubber hose is attached to the

hollow iron pipe, about as large as a
broom handle. The pipe terminates In
a brass fixture a foot in width and hav-

than one-thirty- second OF an inch wide.
Through this aperture comes the COM

FIVE cubic feet a minute.
The carpets from the cars are thrown
face up on the platform, at the side Of
the track, and the pneumatic instru-
ment is pushed hack and forth over the
nap with the brass end Immediately
upon the carpet, or just above It The
air rushing against the carpet with ire

dirt out in cloud like the smoke from

The rapidity with which the work Is
done is astonishing. Enough carpet to
cover an ordinary room is cleaned in
less than five minutes, and 80 thorough

For cleaning the upholstery in the
cars a smaller brass nozzle, only two
or three inches in width, Is used, but
the operation is otherwise the same.

Oxygen in Surgery.

Remarkable results are reported to
have been obtained in England by
treating wounds with oxygen gas. Tive
kinds of micro-organisms are found In
wounds, one kind being beneficent and
the other Injurious in its effects. Oxy-
gen causes an increase Of the former
and a decrease of the latter, SO thar,
according to a writer in the British
Medical Journal, wounds treated with
oxygen heal more rapidly and with less
pain than by any other form of treat
ment

CHAPTER XVII.

~ IL
The household at Torresmuir had been
aroused at dead of night by noises which
were as alarming as they were myste-
rious. A cry, a scuff1e, and pistol shot,
followed las some of the servants de-
clared) by the sound of hastily retreat
ing footsteps and carriage wheels along
the road, caused much excitement, and
1t was generally thought that the place
had been entered by burglars, who had
been disturbed at their work. This theory
was at first corroborated by the fact that
Mr.. Moncrieff. on proceeding to the tow
er, found the doors open, and his son
and brother-in-law lying incapacitated Oh
the floor of Kingscott's sittiDg-room. Ber-
tie was quite unconscious; he seemed to
have been stunned by q severe blow on
the head. and Kingscott's left arm was
found to be broken, and even shattered,
by a shot from the revolver, which, as
Noncrieff noted with surprise, bore Ber-
tie's name engraved upon 1t, and could
not, therefore, be a burglars weapon.
he was turning away, when his atten-
tiou was arrested by a word from Kings
colts lips. Stella was bending over him
and trying to do something for his arm;
but the word he uttered made her hand
fall suddenly to her side. "Hannington,"
he said.
Stella half raised herself, glanced round
her, and said, almost below her breath:
Where is Molly"
She thought that Alan would, if he
could. have annihilated her on the spot.
'1n her room, of course" he answered,
sternly. You are unnerved, Stella.

JOAN OF ARC BEFORE THE KING.
Her Faith In Her Mission Overcame
All Obstacles.

Her Faith In Her Mission Overcame
All Obstacles.
Her conviction was SO strong that 1t
gained the sympathy Of the poor about
her. To these humble beings, for whom
everything Is difficulty and impossible
ity In life, Imagination opens a rich
field where all dreams seem credible.
They believed the dream Of Joan, and
lent their aid to the accomplishment OF
her miracle. This help and completely
of the people she was to find every
where on her road. The king and the
mobiles accepted her because she served
their purpose; the people believed IN
her and lent her strength. Thus from
the arst step Of her undertaking her
situation was clearly outlined, a. it was
to be to the end-to martyrdom. The
poor people gave from their poverty to
buy her q horse and vestments Of war,
and a squire, Jean de Metz, won by
the popular enthusiasm, offered to ac-
company her with few men. They set
out for Chinon. where the court was
assembled.
The way was long and beset with
danger, but Joan upheld the courage Of
her companions. Fear nothing" she
said; the Lord God has chosen my
route; my brothers in paradise guide
me on the way" and in safety they ar
rived at Chinon. There new obstacles
arose; 1t was difficult to obtain access
to the king, jealousy guarded from all
outside influence by his favorite La
Tremodlle. But, as in fairy tale, doors
were opened, walls fell before her
magic, and one evening the young peas
ant entered the great hall where, among
the courtiers, disguised In a modest
costume, stood the king. whom she had
never seen Without hesitation she
walked straight to the king, and, fall
ing on her knees, proffered her request
with SO much grace and ardor that
Charles VII. was moved.
But imposture, witchcraft even, was
suspected, and before q decision was ar
rived at, learned doctors and ecclesias-
tics were called on to examine her and
scrut1nize her conscience. To all the
subtleties of her examiners she an
swered with 30 much simplicity, SO
much profundity Of good sense, that
they were confounded. There Is more
in the book Of God than in yours" she
said; and added, 81 know not a from b,

CHAPTER AN1.VCoutinued.
"Only for five minutes, at present. she
said. "You may have heard an old story
abont an uncle of mine who made an
enormous fortune in America many years
ago. There was a lawsuit about his
money; it has been going on for some
time. and none of us thought that we
should ever benefit by what he left. We
have gained the case. l suppose that |

there is such a word. What do you think
of that, Master Jack? Oh, Jack, I'm so

and tenderness in her eyes. Hanning-

She was not frightened by the loarsely
spoken words, by the rough embrace, or
the mans passion of love and gref-pas-
sion such as she had never tholght him
capable of before. She lifted her face
and allowed him to press his lips to hers
for one moment of mingled Hiss and
agony. Then she drew her face away.

TLa EarIieat Men.

DR.. Ranke, Of the German Anthrop-

describe the physical characteristics Of
the earliest men, as ascertained from
the examination of prehistoric graves.
They were of yellowish color. he
said, and had coarse hair. Their heads
were peculiarly shaped, the part Of the
skull which contains the brain being
large relatively to the face, while the
face was small. They had other pecu-
liarities, among which was the rudi.

the third molsr, or back grinder tooth.

wearing effect Of the ordinary sea

Is even greater, although, being distrib-
uted over a compa paratively long Interval
Of time, it attracts less attention. Some
statistics recently published show that

tween Marlborough Head and Spurn
Head. along a distance Of thirty OF
forty miles the beach has been retreat
ing before the onslaught of the ocean,
for the last thirty-seven years, at the
average rate Of nearly six feet a year.
The same publication shows that man
sometimes unintentionally assists the
sea in destroying the bulwarks of the
land. This has occurred at the great
chalk cliffs near Dover. which have euf-
fered from the withdraw wal of part Of
the drifting sand accommodating at their
feet and shielding them from the direct
assault of the waves. Long piers con-
strtcted at Dover and Folkestone have
diverted the sand and 1t has been found
