an assumed name gives rise to the belief
that he intended to land here secretly dur

The police are watching him.
The Marquis Vendana, Spanish ambassa =
dor to Mexico, has arrived here from

From the Pinsburo Dispatc

MERCER. Pa. Jan. lO.-Dr. G. L. Digit Of
Jackson township. this county. has secured let
tiers patent on n device called the Digit Their
nal insDirRtor. which promises TO overcome the
effects OF cold and make IL possible 10 Withstand
tho most frigld climates. Tho insplrItor, is a
device to retain the heat from the cNhRled air,
which. in turn, warns the inhaled mir before 1t
reaches the lungs. 1t prevents the loss Of heat
from tho body. as 1t ordinarily occurs. through
the breath.
While in Washington DIR. Digit secured an
audience with the Secretary Of Mar. who WAS
so impressed with the thought OF using II In tho
Klondike relief this winter that he requested
the Commissioner of Patents to make a special
examination OF the application, which was done,
and the patent granted soon after.
In n recent test DIR. ! light entered n cold storage
whore the temperature was below zero, aad, by
the use OF the iGspirator, where the air relchol

THE LITTLE TITMoUSE.
ono FREQ BIRD That Attracts Attontion AmouE
Hundreds or Captives.

Nptifee
In a big bird store where there are hundreds
of birds Of many kinds necessarily squawking,
chipping. and singing, there is one that is free.
A tiny tltmouse. The window Is full OF cages
containing birds OF various sorts. and one side
OF the store is lined with bird cages stacked up
high all along. But there is none that attracts 20
much attention as the little titmouse, fitting
about the store at Will. At night 1t perches on
n gas fixture in tho window. and to that It
comes back from its various excursions by day.
Customers that come in to buy birds. and bird
cages, and bird seed. and one thing and another.
never fail to notice tho titmouse. They may not
notice another bird there individually, but their
attention is sure to be attracted by this one as IL
darts about, free among so many ~captives. and
they are likely to smile at 1t. they are 80 pleased
with 1t. And sometimes children. looking In at
tho windows OF the bird store, come In to tell
the clerk that one OF the birds has got loose.
When 1t has nothing else to do the titmouse
way and that, and looks about. sometimes Il
whets It's beak on the gaspipe. Evory now and
then 1t dashes off somewhere. II II wants a
drink, it perches on the rim OF a goldfish globe
for home aquariuIns and stock for them are sold

The titmouse catches spiders and other In
sects. and it feeds in the larger cages when Ii
will. 1t goes in and out of them between the
bars with perfect ease. IT, Is a very little bird,
even with its plumage in its natural form.
With its feathers pressed against it's sides 1t
can get through a very narrow space; between
the bars OF q parrots cage, for example, with
ease. There are In the window a number of
parrots cages In a row. The titmOuso almost
flies through these cages. stopping In each, por-
