A Natural Engineer.
(From the Chicago Record.)

''Old Jim Bridger" was a famous from
tiersman He was born in the District of
Columbia in 1907 and discovered the great
salt lake of Utah in the winter of 1S24-5.
He was at least the first white man TO re-
port the existence of that body OF water
Bridger was illiterate, but had remarkable
natural genius as an engineer. No man in
the West was so familiar with the topo-
graphy of the country between the Mis-
sissippi River and the Pacific Ocean. and
his memory for landscape was phenome-
nal They used to say that Jim Bridger
knew every tuft of grass on the great
plains and he was very proud of that rep
utation. Colonel Inman, in his charm
ing book, THE Old Santa Fe Trail" tells
an interesting story that illustrated this
remarkable talent.
At one time in the early Cos, while the
engineers of the proposed Union Pacific
Railway were temporarily in Denver, then
an insignificant mushroom hamlet, they
became somewhat confused as to the most
practical point in the range over which to
run their line. After debating the ques-
tion they determined. upon suggestion
from some OF the old settlers. to send for

Louis. pass. via the overland stage,
was inclosed in letter to him, and he was
urged to start for Denver at once, though
nothing OF the business for which his
presence was required was told him in the
text.
In about two weeks the old man arrived,
and the next morning, after he had rested,
he asked why he had been sent for from
such distance. The engineers then be-
gan to explain their dilemma The old
mountaineer waited patiently until they
had finished, when, with a look of disgust
on his withered countenance. he demanded

same time: Il could a-told you fellers all

where the only means of lighting fire was

One day. becoming enthused over the lie

But hurried into my clothes and rushed

Hunt for n Kings Body

(Rome Correspondence to the London Post)
Ever since last autumn an agitation has
been going on in the Neapolitan province
in connection with the supposed resting
place of King Joachim Murat, and schemes
have been set on foot by living represen-
tatives of the Murat family to exhume
and provide proper monument for the
body of the unfortunate monarch. Re-
searches were begun recently in the Church
of st. George the Martyr at Pizzo, near
Naples, where Murat was known to have
been buried after his execution on Octo-
ber 13, 1915, in the castle OF that city The
common burial place was opened after due
precautions had been taken by the sanitary
authorities, but no positive result could be
arrived at, as it was found that the burying
place in the vaults OF the church had heen
filed with bodies of the cholera epidemic
of 1887, and that is was impossible TO dis
tinguish the body of hhe King from those
of persons subsequently inferred. The re-
searches have therefore been suspended,
the vaults sealed up, and a report drawn
up and signed by the local authorities and
the representatives of the family to the
effect that further investigations are use
less All the expenses OF the researches
have been borne by the government.

ers of the standard machines are keeping
their price up to Sl00 but many of the ma
chimes of more recent introduction are
selling at various figures below that price
some as low as $50. A considerable por-
tion Of the profits from the sale OF type
writer's is derived from supplying the de-
mand fer secondhand machines.
The renting of typewriters has within
recent years come to fern an important
part of the agents business. A new ma
chine CT a recent model rents for about
So per month. In the rental of machines
great competition has arisen and much
cutting of prices has resulted. A second
hand machine can be rented for as low Is
81 per month.
Among the inventions in the typewriter
line are several unique appliances which
are as yet not very generally used. One
of them is a machine for writing the char
acters of the shorthand alphabet. The ma
chine is much simpler than the ordinary
typewriter, with the difference. however,
tLat person, in order to be able to oper-
ate one. must understand the principles of
stenography. Another useful machine is
one for printing in books. 1t is so arrang-
ed that it can be adjusted to the size of
the book, and will do the same character of
work on the leaves of book that the or
binary machine will perform on ordinary
copy or letter paper.
1t is generally thought that the price of
the standard typewriting machine will be
considerably less next year than it is dur
ing the year of 1899. II is estimated that
there are more than 10000 typewriters in
use in Washington. This includes the large
number in operation in the departments.
The operating of the typewriter, rs has
always been the case with any mechani-
cal innovation, requires special skill. So
great has the demand Tor typewriter oper-
ators become that the public high schools
have introduced into the curriculum 4
study which is intended to make student
skillful in handling a machine. The Busi-
ness High School graduates each year sew
eral hundred skilled machine operators,
the private colleges turn out their proper
tion, and many learn the use of the ma
chine simply from practice.
