LAZY. BUT A GENIUS.
Invents IA Machine to Turn Him over
While Asleep Ia He'd.

The champion lazy man Of tie uni
verse lives IN Alameda, Cal. His name
is Walter Hyde and he is a genius in
addition to being lazy He has invented
a contriyance that turns him over IN
bed once every hour during the night,
says the New York Journal.
When Mr.. Hyde retres he winds up
a clock attached to his bed and regu-
larly every hour, when the clock
strikes. the mattress is gently twisted
In such q manner as TO cause the oc-
cupant to roll over. Mr.. Hyde is a man
OF advanced age and does not enjoy the
best of health. His greatest physicF
inconvenience has been an incomplete
circulation of the blood. causing sleep
lessness. II he remains in one position
for any lcngth Of time mild form OF
paralysis follows and sleep becomes
hopeless. Being somewhat OF a me-
chanical turn OF mind, Mr.. Hyde con
cluded to experiment.
The result Of his tinkering and think
ing is the mechanical contrivanct
which hourly turns him over without
awakening his slumbers, and which he
says works so charmingly that his
paralysis with accompanying sleepless-
ness 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 ana 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 uncon-
scious of the change but continues un.
disturbed in his nights sleep.

THEB publlcans have other troubles
than those which will be m1ie by the
new tariG ahead OF them. They ere
going to have no end OF worry over
finance in the near future. lt is an
open secret hat there is a serious
difference OF opinion in the cabinet on
the advisability Of committing the ed-
ministrauon and the party 20 the re.
tirement Of the greenbacks and treas
ury notes. Secretary Gage, as the
personal representative Of the bankers
and ultra gold men, will make hard
fight to commit the administration and
party to the retirement OF those notes,
although he knows as well as any
body that no such legislation can lie
put through during the life OF the
present congress, because OF the silver
majority in the senate. Proof that
Mr.. Mckinley is afraid Of this question
may be found in the careful manner in
which he avoided committing himself
in his special message to congress ask
ing for authority TO appoint a cur
rency commission Mr.. Mckinley has
been everything on the money ques-
ton. He voted for the free coinage Of
silver in 1877, and as late as the Fifty
irst congress, he voted aud spoke for
the Window silver bill and the Sher-
man substitute therefor. He didn't
want the gold standard platform Of
last years Republican convention. It
is doubtful IL he knows what he wants
now. He prefers to trim and wait,
but Secretary Gage intends, unless he
is prevented, TO submit 10 congress in
his annual report the outlines Of bill
that would perpetuate the single
gold standard, not because he thinks
it will pass, but because he wishes to
commit the administration and the
Republican party.

No living Mnmmoths.

For several years the story has been
extensively circulated that the natives
OF Alaska are acquainted with living
mammoths The probable origin OF
the story was pointed out at a recent
meeting OF the Biological society of
Washington by Mr.. g. II. Townsend.
In 1885. when he was In Alaska. some
Of the natives questioned him concern
ing the nature of the giant animal
whose bones are not infrequently found
there. and he drew restorations of the
mammoth in order TO show them how
It looked when living They we're

A most novel and ingenious method
of adding the representation Of rain
bow to stage realism has recently been
discovered. the effect which is produced
being as beautiful as the means en-
ployed are simple. The apparatus con-
ssts OF an ordinary box, having a
semi-circular opening in front to give
the shape of the rainbow. within which
are two candelabra prisms, mounted on
supports so that they can be revolyed
by means of handles fixed outside. To
work the apparatus a strong light is
projected through the prisms ana
through the opening. across which
strips of wire are fixed in order to
break up the rays. and thence on to a
back-drop scene When the prisms are
turned in opposite directions, it is as
serted that the most beautiful and vivid
color-effects are produced.-London
