Painting by Machinery.

The Kansas City, Fort Scott and
Memphis Railway is now using in its
shops q pneumatic car-painting ma
chine. With the new device freight
car can be painted in one hour, while
by the old method it takes an expert
enced man from two to three hours.
Besides saving material and labor,
another great advantage the pneumatic
painter has over the man with brush
and can of paint is that it applies the
paint to the car with uniform thick.
ness and with great force. The paint
is driven into the smallest crevice OF
hole in the car, and this enables the
painter to reach points under the car
roof where the man with q brush
would be able to make little Roadway.
The new method promises to take the
place Of hand painting entirely.

AMERICAN MUSICAL PRODIGY.

Miss Augusta Cottlow Among the
Worlds Foremost Musicians.
Miss Augusta Cottlow, the American
musical prodigy whose home is in Shell
byville, ILL.,, is said to be one of the
foremost musicians in the world. AL.
though not yet out of her studies, she
has managed to amaze and delight the
leading musicians of Europe with her
superb performances ON the piano. For
the past two years she has been study
ing under Herr Tappert and Professor
Busoni. The latter, when asked by
Miss Cottlow for the amount OF his
charges, replied: "Gussie, there can be
no talk of business between artists. You
are an artist Your music delights me.
If can be of any help to you in your
career l shall do all in my power for
you. You may take my aid as courte-
sy from an older artist to younger
one" Miss Cottlow began her musical
studies at years of age. At 5 she
made her debut In public. From that
time she was in demand. AT 8 she was
placed in charge of Professor WolfsohD
Of Chicago and began her studies In
harmony and counterpart under Pro-

Camera Brought Back the Money.

Professor Jules Amann, of the Uni
Versity Of Lausanne, Switzerland, was
recently called upon to apply scientific
Photographic rather novel purpose.
A Swiss peasant woman who had saved
by hard labor and economy sum equiv
,lent to $110, having temporarily to leave
her cottage untenanted, placed her
money, in the form of bank bills, in tin
box, which she hid away in the oven OF
her stove. During her absence, says the
Youths Companion, her son came
home and, not knowing what his moth
or had done, started fire in the stove.
When the poor woman returned the
bank bills had been reduced to black
cinders. She was advised to apply for
aid at the laboratory Of the university.
and Professor Amann succeeded in
SO Photographic the carbonized bills
as to make their denominations, sig
natures, etc., decipherable. Armed
with these photographs the woman re-
covered the value of all the bills from
the banks which had issued them.

Artesian Water in Sahara.

One of the most important results
of the Egyptian expedition up the
Nile has been the discovery that by
sinking deep wells water may be
found in the desert in many places
where its presence had not been sus-
pected. Not only will this give Sc
cure basis for military operations, but
it is possible that water may be found
in sufficient quantities to serve for ir-
rigation, in which case the Sahara may
be turned into a flower garden. Its
aridity comes from no material steril-
ity of the soil, but simply from the
lack of moisture.

QUAINT EPITAPHS.
Curious Inscriptions on Gravestones In an
Old Baptist Burying Ground.

Curious Inscriptions on GravestOnes In an
Old Baptist Burying Ground.
Some curious inscriptions are often
found on ancient gravestones in coun-
try cemeteries. In an old Baptist
burying- ground, near Hightstown, N.
j., are many that are remarkable for
quaintness and originality.
The lament of q wife for her husband
is as follows:
My head and stay is took away,
And am left alone;
My husband dear, who was so near,
Is took away and gone.
1t grieves my heart that must part
With one who was SO kind:
must be still, it is Gods will
That 1 am left behind.
An inscription bearing the date
1870 is:
Come stop and see
What death has done.
This is the place
We all must comet
Another reads:
Farewell, dear family, here below,
Now Christ has called. and must go;
As am now, so you must be,
Prepare for death and follow me.
But more interesting even than these
are two old graves lying solitary in the
midst of field now well covered with
ripening corn. Every year the plough
has encroached on the plot that once
surrounded them, and they would now
be completely obliterated were it not
for the stones. One of these has been
thrown down by a careless plough
man, and it was only by turn
ing it over and scraping off the dirt
and moss that the following inscription
was deciphered:

When There Were No Postage Stamps.
In these days postage stamps are
familiar necessity. Their loss would
occasion almost as much confusion
and difficulty as the loss of our money
system; and yet, fifty years ago the
world never had seen postage stamp
nor even an envelope.
Before the days of postage stamps it
was customary to pay in cash at the
postoffice the charges for transporting
the letter, and the postmaster stamped
the word paid above the address.
The first stamps were of two denomin-
atoms, five and ten cents. The first
bore the likeness of Franklin in rose
color, and the second that of Washing
ton. Envelopes were not in use in
those days, but sheet of paper was
carefully folded and sealed with red
wafer. For letter of one sheet of
paper for a distance less than 800
miles the fve-cent stamp suf1ced.
When envelopes, including the stamped
envelopes, came in in 1851, revision
of postal practices was necessary, and
weight, instead of the number of sheets
of paper, became the standard meas
ure. Postage was in that year very
much reduced, and the three-cent
price for the half-ounce letter was
adopted. -Chicago Record.

1t is estimated that twenty-five acres
of land is necessary to sustain one
man on fresh meat. The same space
of land If devoted to wheat culture
would feed forty-two people; if to oats,
lightweight; potatoes, Indian corn
and rice, 176; and if the plsntain or
bread fruit tree, over 5000 people.

Kiss your finger-tips and smile

Weary of the weary way
We have come since yesterday.
Let us fret us not, in dread
OF the weary way ahead.
While we yet look down-not up
To seek out the buttercup

Der the green home Of the grave.
Let us launch us smoothly on
Listless pillows of the lawn,
And drift out across the main
OF our childish dreams again.

Voyage off, beneath the trees,
Ger the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails,
And our seagulls, nightingales.
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that waves the wheat,
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs We used to love.
Lose all troubles-gain release,
Languor and exceeding. peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast
Calm mid-ocean of the past.
Let US rest ourselves bit.
Worry wave your hand to it
Hiss your flnger-tips and smile

Raising sunken Vessels.

Some months ago, when one of our
great ocean liners was stuck in the
sand at a point only few hours dis
tant from her destination, the sugges.
ton was made to get the ship out Of
her environment by washing the sand
away from her sides by means OF
heavy pumps. Very little force would
then be required to pull her into deep
water. 1t was rumored then that
mastery inactivity was the policy Of
some of the parties concerned in her
release. Since that time there has
been great deal of discussion as to the
best methods of raising sunken ves-
sells and lifting those that were stuck
on sand bars. 1t is unquestionably
the fact that if powerful pumps could
be SO arranged that streams of water
would pour into the sand around the
hull of the ship there would be very
little time lost in releasing it. In con-
nection with this means it has been
suggested that heavy iron cylinders be
attached to the sides of the vessel as
low down as possible. These are
pumped full Of air or gas and would
assist in lifting the vessel and floating
her out of harms way. 1t is predict
ed that this will be the salvage pro-
cess of the future. Heavy bands of
webbing made of strong and suitable
material can be worked under the bot
tom of the ship. To the ends of this
webbing these iron cylinders can be
attached. Pumps are then applied
and gas or air is forced into them.
Then the pumps are started and as
the sand is washed entirely away from
the sides of the ship the buoyancy of
the cylinders slowly lifts the great
body to the surface. Either means
used by itself might not have the de-
sired effect, but applied together this
is unquestionably the most practical
method by which such enormous bulk
can be raised. The webbing or bands
could be placed so close together that
they would practically form network
under the hull of the ship. By means
of slender rods, ropes could bepushed
underneath and the webbing could be
drawn through and properly adjusted.
