VIA PNEUMATIC TUBE.
The Way Dinners May BE Served 1r
the Near Future If We So
Desire 1t,

An inventor has worked out a scheme
by which a restaurant company, or q
municipal kitchen like that a Grenoble
France, could supply any number of
patrons with hot dinners via pneumatic
tube, and do away at the same time
with dish washing in the home, says the
Philadelphia Times.
The idea is to lay a pneumatic sub
way from the manufacturing kitchen
or restaurant, with branches to the
dining-rooms of patrons. At the proper
points valves worked by electricity
from the restaurant shut off the tube
ahead and divert the vessels travelling
in the tube to the house for which they
were intended. ~. ~. q; - s@,s
The various edibles, including soups,
dessert, ETC., are to be Enclosed in air
tight metal balls, enameled in different
and pleasing colors. These balls will
have tops that unscrew, and each pa
tron will be provided with a proper tool
to unscrew his dinner. He will then set
the lids to one side, place the pretty
circular dishes made of the lower
halves in wire or other stands on his
dinin groom table, and proceed to dine.
After each meal he will screw the
covers on again, drop the balls, with all
refuse, back into return pneuma tic
tube, and light his cigar in peace, with
no worry about dish washing, and moth
ing else to do but pay the bills.

CATNIP FOR THE CATS.
1t Was the Means of Making a Young
/ Man Of Boston Popular with
f! the Felines. /

Speaking of cats, young man living
in East Lexington has become the hene-
factor of several downtown Toms, who,
having passed the;r lives in Office build
ings, never tasted the Intoxicating cat
nip. He is great friend of cats in gen
eral, and when he began work in the
city the first thing he noted was the
useful animals that prowled around the
corridors, patrolling for rats, relates
the Boston Herald. So this young man
from East Lexington took pity on their
condition by filing his pockets with
fresh catnip and freely distributed it
among the crowd on arriving at his
place of business. The effect was in
Simultaneous. The Pied Piper of Ham
elm was nowhere. Such an experience
these creatures may have dreamed, but
had never ealized, and some nearly had
fits, the herb was so Intoxicating while
others vainly tried to express their
gratitude for the kind attention.
Therefore, don't forget the downtown
business cat. Recollect he needs his
salad as much as the human being.
See that he has some grass to eat now
and then, and a little atnip to cheer
him up when, times are hard. a --s5Ssss* Isl 81

GRAND MARAIs. MINI. AUG. ~. 1898.

In another column will be found a
report of the distribution of fish and
eggs from the government fish hatchery
at Duluth which was kindly furnished
us by the officials Of that institution.
One needs only to glance at this report
to appreciate the grand work being done
by this. hatchery in the propagation
of fish, yet it is not sufficient to
perpetuate the fishing industry of this
part of Lake Superior. A gentleman
we'll up in piscatorial matters said to
the writer recently that there should be
at least three hatcheries in the territory
now covered by the Duluth station and
he expressed the opinion that if the
matter was properly representa- to the
department there would be no difficulty
in securing the location of hatchery
on the North Shore. Would it not be a
wise plan for the people of Cook county
to get together and make an effort to
secure the location of hatchery in the
vicinity of Grand Marais where all the
natural advantages required for such an
institution are to be found. The effort
would cost nothing and might bring
about very desirable results. The pro-
spects are certainly worth the effort.

RELICS OF A PAST AGE.
Skeletons and Stone Fish Discovered
in Subterranean Cave in
+ West Virginia.

A most remarkable discovery has
been made on the farm of j. A. Prince,
at Belpre, near Parkersburg, W. Va.
A cave heretofore unknown to even the
Oldest inhabitant was -found. The en-
trance will permit of one person going
in at time, and after proceeding ten
or fifteen feet a large room is encoun-
tered, 20 feet square, of solid stone.
Dates are carved in the walls as far
bac kas 1898. In one corner of the
room stone door, swung on large
steel hinges, leads to stone steps, which
led the explorers to a room ten feet
below the first room, which contains
human skeletons in endless numbers.
by the aid of rocks and a rope one can
be lowered to another room, 20 feet
below the aforementioned room, in
which is to be found fish by the hun
dred in pond, the fish resem bling the
common perch. Hundreds of perfect
stone fish are to be found on the floors
of the two aforementioned rooms, with
dates carved back as far as 1898. The
people are carrying the odd specimens
away for relics.

was to Desert wells, 80 miles away,
where there was supposed to be an
abundance OF water, and they did not
take take a large supply with them. When
they reached Desert wells, however,
they found the water filled with dead
animals and utterly worthles for man
or beast. A little water remained in
their canteens and this they divided
with their horses. The heat and dust
had been very trying and all were
nearly choked. There was nothing to
do but push on through the sand
towards the higher lands, where the
mining mining camps are located. So forward
they toiled, through the fine borax
dust, into which their wagon wheels
sank to the hubs. At II o'clock in the
forenoon their horses were unable to
drag the wagon a rod further. They
mounted and tried to make the re-

the beasts could not go. There was no
alternative but to foot it. They start
ed, and in eight hours managed to
traverse the ten miles between Desert
wells and Spring Water canyon, where
they arrived nearly dead from thirst
and heat exhaustion.

Collector Treat of the Second Internal
Revenue District OF New York expresses
the opinion that the war-tax law is the
fairest and most equitable revenue law
that the country has ever had, and that
in it's essential features, it is likely to
remain our permanent internal revenue
system, The law recommends itself to
Collector Treat because lit allows us
more latitude in our reciprocal trade
relations with other countries" and this
is desirable, he says, because lit is grow
ing more and more apparent that if all
the money required for the running of
of the govern nent x X X is to be derived
from tariff on imports, it will become
oppressive" In this expression of opin-
ion, Collector Treat shows streak of
good common sense, but is guilty of rank
heresy to the Mckinley Dingley pro-
lection doctrine.

GOODNESS OVER THE FLAG.
Flung to the Breeze IN the Night, II
55s3H Sent Terrorto q Friend's
| Hear Il t. 4f q. Y}S$2.,

There is a painful GOODNESS between
two women who live in a big apartment
house uptown, and an American flag is
at the bottom Of it it. The flag is a huge
affair, made of bunting. The woman
who owns it says in extenuation that
her husband bought it, and that you
know how men are about buying things,
IT came home late one evening last
week, and its patriotic owner insisted
on finging it to the breezesat once, that
it might wave all night. Accordingly
the pole was fixed to the window sill,
and Old Glory streamed out into the
night, says the Washington Post.
F. The woman who occupies the apart
ment Immediately under the window
from which the flag hungis very erv-
Gus person. That night she was awak-
ened by soft, swishing sound against
the window. It was like the rustic of a
garment, and the nervous woman
thought first of burglars and secondly
of ghosts. She was afraid to get out of
bed to look out of the window, but she
huddled up with her back to the wall
and shiVered the night away. -.
Again and again she was sure she
heard soft, ghostly fingers at the win
dow. She could feel her hair turin 9
white. She says she didn 'tsleep wink.
After 30 or 40 hours, she says, mornin g
came, and she ventured to the window
and raised the blind. There hung the
flag, Tipping against the window with
every breeze.
The nervous woman is courageous by
daylight. She drew table to the win
dow, climbed upon it, pulled the win
dow down fromsth top, and, reaching
out as far as she could, calmly proceed
ed to cut the end of the flag off. The
woman who owns it says that anybody
who would mutilate her country's flag
is traitress, and the woman who did
it says that some people haven't the
sense they ought to have been born
with, and, as I began by saying, there is
marked GOODNESS up at that apartment
house.

Something over 100000 will be paid
by this government as "head money!
to the officers and sailors who de-
ttroyed Cervera's fleet. This is ac-
cording to the law, which provides pay
ment of 500 a head for every man on
the ships of an enemy when these ships
are destroyed. A few of the officers
will receive pretty good fortunes.
The law governing the distribution
of this money is very explicit. There
are exact provisions for carrying it into
effect, and every man, according to his
rank, will be paid in due season. This
statute is as follows:
"A bounty shall be paid by the United
States for each person on board any ship
or vessel of war belonging to an enemy at
the commencement of an engagement
which is sunk or otherwise destroyed in
such engagement by any ship or vessel be-
longing to the United States or which it
may be necessary to destroy in conse-
quence of injury sustained in action, of
500, if the enemy's vessel was inferior
force. and of 5000 if of equal or superior
force, to be divided in the same manner as
prize money, and when the actual num-
Der of men on board any such vessel cannot
be satisfactorily ascertained it shall be
estimated according to the complement al
lowed the vessels of it's class in the navy
of the. United States, and there shall be
paid as@bounty to the captors of any YES
sci Of war captured from an enemy, which
they may be instructed to destroy or which
is Immediately destroyed for the public in
terest, but lot in consequence of injuries
received in action, $50 for every person who
shall be on board at the time of such cap
ture.'
According to this law the officers
and men of SIMPSONS fleet will be
entitled to $500 for every officer and
man on board the six Spanish vessels
that were destroyed off Santiago Rec
