Transfers of Heat.

A correspondent who is associated
with the observatory at Toulouse calls
attention to a very singular phenom-
enon, the scientific explanation of which
he seeks. Take bar of iron in the hand
by one end and plunge the other end in
the fire, heating 1t strongly, but not SO
much that the hand cannot retain its
hold. Then plunge the heated end in a
pail of cold water. Immediately the end
held by the hand becomes SO hot that it
is impossible to retain it in the fingers.
This phenomenon, said by the CORE
spondent to be familiar to workmen in
iron, is ascribed by them to some repel
liant action which they suppose the sud-
den cold to exert upon the beat contain
ed in the iron, which is thus driven to
the OppOsite extremity.

FaceIess Clock.

A handless and faceless clock is the
most recent invention. This weird time
piece literally "tells" the hour, for on
being pressed it actually proclaims the
time in sonorous tones It can also be
set like an alarm for those who wish
to be reused at certain hour, or it can
be made to shout throughout the night,
like the old Waterman, as each hour
flies. On the whole, says writer in an
English magazine, ! fancy it will not
supersede our faithful old friends with
their comfortable tick tick and familiar
faces.
1t is bad enough sometimes to watch
the hands of ones clock scurrying round
when there is much to do and little
time in which to do it, and the musical
chime that warns us of the feeting
hour does not always fall with welcome
sound on the ear, but to be shouted and
nagged at by ones clock would be un-
endurable, especially if one were court
ing little we'll earned extra sleep In

to pace the room, saying: "See here,

IN FAVOR OF THE cENrAuR CO
Judge Adams Granted an InjunctioD
I'm the Cast0ria Case.

In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel w. Eslinger, of st.
Louis. the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles H. Fletcher is president, il the
sole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had a right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by A.
fidavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators Of well.
known medicines. He said the practice
was species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar to the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago, Indianapolis,
District of Columbia. Texas and New
Jersey, in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed
don and Blair. of ST. Louis, and F. H.
Scott, of Chicago, for the complain
ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria''
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature Of the pres
ident, Charles II. Fletcher, on the label,
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
pitchers Baby Castoria." It is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

portion of the way back with de Belin,

much haste as he could in the delivery
of his message, and wished to myself
that my own stout-hearted knave were

land Stage Coaches.

Col. "Jim' Stephenson, the livery
man of Omaha, is one of the veteran
freighters of the old west. There are
not many of the tribe left, and few of
them at any time had more adventur-
Gus experiences than he. The terror of
the freighters in those remote times
was Three-Fingered Jack, who was as
sisted by Roman Nose and band of
so Sioux. In those days Stephenson
was driving a Concord COACH. one of a
line of which he was operating, making
connection with western railroads. One
of these coaches was set aside to carry
treasure. By leaving Omaha on Mon
day morning the 600 miles to Denver
could be made by Saturday afternoon.
One day the coach started out with
100000 for Denver. Stephenson drove
the six horses himself as far as Kear-
ney. There were five passengers and
Ben Adams, the guard. Two hundred
miles out, near where Lexington, Neb.,
now is, while the coach was climbing a
hill, Jacks band blocked the road. He
yelled to Stephenson to pull up, but
Jim cracked his whip on the horses,
which sprang forward and two of the
outlaws were run over before they
could get out of the way.
Stephenson says: "At the same time

heavily-loaded shotgun into the band

until their Indian allies came up. We
came two miles down the hill in three
minutes. As we reached the foot of
the hill the Indians hove in sight.
They could not get up close to us and
the road agents were afraid. They
sent cloud of missiles through the
coach, over our heads and into the
horses pulling the coach. One arrow

plunged, bringing him apparently heavi-
ly to the ground. He fell exactly over
the paper, and lay there for moment,
face downward, resting on one elbow. I
sprang down as much to get the paper
as to assist him, but as I did so he
scrambled to his feet with a hundred
pardons, monsieur, for my clumsiness,"
and then hastily turned and hurried
after his mule, which was already many
yards ahead, behaving after it's kind,
and whose speed was not diminished by
the sticks, stones and oaths flung at
him, and there was q roar of laughter-a
mob will laugh or hiss at the merest
trifies-as the lank figure of the capu-
chin sped along in pursuit of his beast
and vanished after him down side
street.
Belin himself joined in the merri-
ment, and picked up the paper, mud
dy and much soiled. Smoothing it out
against the flap of my saddle, 1 made
out the words: Tonight, under the
lines in the Tuileries-at Compline."
There was no doubt about the writing,
and, thrusting the precious scrap into
my breast pocket, I remounted. AS

I got at its contents the better.
In the meantime Belin rode by my
side whistling a march to himself,
whilst couple of lackeys Immediately
behind us shouted themselves hoarse
with an insistent "Way-way for mon

This cry of theirs was being constant

He laughed and said: "Not yet good

some of it in Golfers wooden ball. I
would open that here before you decide
to leave me-"
"Morbleu! You all seem determined
to speak to me in riddles. Why can you
not say plainly what you mean-and,
besides, this is no place to read.''
'It is as good as any other. See here,
d'Auriac! I slipped out of the kings
cabinet as he spoke to you, told madame
how your affair was progressing: she
herself had something to communicate
to you; the matter was pressing, and as
things stood she could not tell you there.
As for your being treated like pawn,

window, his back to the light, and
gravely strolsing his beard. The mar

himself was leaning against high

As de Belin presented me, bent to

broken only by Henry renewing the
