Fortune From a Scare.

An inventive genius who suffered
from attacks by stray dogs when riding
his wheel, set his wits to work to devise
something which would be an cfiica-
cious, and yet comparatively harmless,
means of defense. AS n result he has
brought out and patented q pocket
pistol which will shoot ammonia,
water or other liquid. The most vic
ious dog cannot withstand o few drops
of ammonia il his mouth or eyes, and
yet there is no danger of actually III
iuling a valuable animal which might
playfully annoy rider. Tho weapon
has proved so much of success rs a
means of defense as well rs fun-mak-
ing, that the lucky inventor is realizing
much money from his device.

Evidences of the Ancient Roman Wa
terworks Again Found.
The house Of Yettius has two en-
frances, the principal one facing the
east and opening to the street which
led to the city gate, and side entrance
which is directly opposite to the mod
ern wooden penthouse erected to pro-
tect the ancient Roman water pipes,
which branch off here in many direc-
lions. Most visitors will remember
this curious illustration of ancient
water works, the earliest and most
complete that are known to us, and by
the help Of the description we have
given should have no difficulty in To-
eating the house. The building obtain.
ed Its name from three signets found
in the atrium, one Of which bore the
legend A. Vettii Conyiyaes, which may
be interpreted "Of, belonging to, A.
Vittius Conyiya;" the second, A. Vettti
Restituti, or ''rhe property of A. Vet
thus Restit1ltus;;" and the third, which
was a bronze ring, and bore the latter
AVCo, evidently an abbreyiatfon of the
first signet. Besides these there were
three engraved stones having the re-
spective ornaments Of an amphora, an
ivy leaf, and the caduceus Of Mercury.
In Roman times mans slgnet was the
most important Of his possessions. 1t
served the purpose of signature, for
all business transactions were ratified
by 1t, and as in those days locks and
keys had not long been invented, the
stores and valuables Of many houses
were still kept strictly under the seal
Of the owner. 1t was felony to mako
two signets alike, and hence in the
gems Of the ancients we have the
most marvellous compendium of their
customs, manners and beliefs. We
may hence be pretty confident that the
house belonged to Aulus Vettius.-
