Suction Of a Past Train.

ala, where trains pass twico day ct
q speed Of about forty miles an hour.
The tracks are seven Feet apart aud
there would seem to be ample room to
stand between them in perfect safety.
One afternoon o small fox terrier dog
belonging to section boss was asleep
in the middle space and woke up just
as the trains closed in from each side.
There was barrel on the ground near
by and the dog in his fright jumped
on top OF it. That possibly brought
him into one of the rushing envelopes
OF air; at any rate he was whirled of
his feet and thrown clear to the roof
of the opposite car, where he was sub
seauently found, ;ammsd against
ventilator chimney, with no injury ex-
cept broken leg. How in the world
he ever made such journey and
escaped alive is mystery, unless his
fall was deadened by cushion of air.
"Apropos Of atmospheric pressure,
IL 10 weii-known fact that there is q
vortex space, Or zone of suction
directly behind any rapidly moving
train, and its presence accounts for o
grotesque happening that took place
some time ago on the Southern Pacific.

q muscular tourist, who happened to be
on the platform at the time, grabbed
it by the tail as it sailed by and yelled
for help. When some of the others
ran to his assistance they found the
lunatic stretched straight out in the
air behind the platform, bowling like
a Comanche, but safely anchored by
his duster, which had turned inside
out and caught him at the shoulders.
The muscular gentleman was hanging
on for dear life, but had it not been
for the fact that the would-be suicide
was virtually sustained and carried
along by the suction Of the vortex
space something would certainly have
given away. They reeled the man in

knowledge at present Of the atmos-
pheric conditions that surround q

Egypt, the Land of Graves.

The whole energy u the people OF
Egypt is devoted * graves. The
Saturday Review says:
"To the Egyptian death was but
the beginning Of o career Of adven-
lures and experiences compared with
which the most vivid emotions Of this
life were tame. Ee lived with the
fear Of death before his eyes. Every
thing around him reminded him OF
that dreadful initiation into the mya-
teries Of the after life for which hiH
present existence was but q prepara-
tion. His cemeteries were not hid
den away in remote suburbs; his dead
were not covered with grassy mosnds
OF slab Of stone. The whole land
was his graveyard; its whole art was
OF the mortuary. SIRE there no
graves in Egypt that thou hast brought
US into the wilderness TO, die?' asked
the Israelites in derision, and We may
believe that Moses WINGED at the sar-
casm.
Egypt is the land Of graves; and
the whole energy Of the people that
could be spared from keeping life
together was devoted to death. The
mightiest tombs in the world--the
pyramids-were raised upon the deaths
Of multitudes Of toiling slaves. The
hills were honeyoombed passages and
galleries, chambers, pits all painfully
excavated in honor Of the illustrious
dead, and sculptured and painted with
elaborate skill to make them ft habi-
tation for his ghost. Wherever he
looked the Egyptian beheld prepara-
ticns for the gre:.t turning point Of
existence. The mason was squaring
blocks for the tomb chamber; the pot
ter nodded images Of the gods or
bowls or jars, to be placed in the
grave FOR the protection OF refreshment
of the Ka, exhausted with the ordeals
Of the underworld; the sculptor and
painter were at work upon the walls
of the funeral chamber, illustrating
che scenes through which the ghost
was to pass, or depicting the industri-
ous life os tie departed. The very
temples ~hA;;sh cluster along the levels
beside the Nile were in 4 sense but
vestibules to the tombs in the hills
behind. The sacred lake, new the
::.ssaaJ, ::.sssaaaaJ picturesque haunt OF water
fowl, was then the scene Of solemn
fsrryiDgs OF the dead. The temple
walls we're covered with the terrors Of
the jedgmentto come. The houses Of
the living, indeed, were built Of per-
ishing mud, but the homes of the
dead and Che shrines where supplica-
tion was made to the gods who ruled
t6c:s fate were made to last forever.
On these all shee s.- Strength :-,s1sts tsh, the scicnce
and the. artistic skill Of the ancient
Egyptians were cheerfully layished.,,

Two New Anecdotes of General Bob
T00mbs.

One Of the old citizens Of Washing
ton county relates the following anec-
dote Of the great and powerful Rober.
Too!nbs who was then representative
in the Legislature:
Gen. Toombs said that he noticed
one old fellow, who was not remsrka.
BILE for his intellect, invariably voted
right, according to his judgment, upon
all questions that came before the
legislature. He was so struck with
the old fellows record in voting that
one day he approached him and asked
him how it was that he voted on the
right side every time.
"See that little slick haired fell
low over there?" inquired the old
man.
Gen. Toombs replied, eyes," with
quizsioal air.
"Well, said the old man, "when-
ever he votes one way always votes
t'othcr."
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1900-11-07

Another anecdote is also related of
the great Georgian when he represent.
ed the district that Ihen embrsced
Washington County. Gen. Taombs
was delivering o political speech when
q drunken man who opposed him in
politics became boisterous. The sup
portere Of Toombs wanted to hear his
speech and made an attempt to eject
the offender. At this juncture
Toombs paused and in ponderous tones
said:
"Let the gentleman be heard!'
The drunken man was 80 amazed
that Toombs oondesoended to notice
him he at once lapsed into silence aud
from th.; time was one of his warmest
political supporters.
