inventors Can Tell of Some Strange
Experiences.

at is remarkable how ideas Of an
inventive nature occur to one" re-
marked Henry Hollingsworth, a Cleve-
land inventor. "Frcquently when en-
gagged upon problems in mechanics l
have gone to bed and dreamed what
seemed to be a perfect solution of that
which had been uppermost in my mind
during the day. But the trouble is that
upon awaking, while recollecting per-
fectly that had dreamed the solution,
it was impossible to recall the details
necessary to a practical application of
my idea. You know. it is, said of the
automatic car coupler, Of the double
jaw type, that the originator of the
idea was telegraph operator, who.
while leaning back in his chair with
his hands claspcd behind his head doz-
ing. was brought to his senses by tho
blowing of a locomotive whistle. That
noise served as a connecting link for
his thoughts With his hands still
clasped, sailor fashion, he slowly
brought them around in front of him,
and wondered why the cars of that
train could not be connected with one
another in the same way his hands
were hooked together AS result of
this curiously suggested idea we have
the almost universally used car coup
Ter, the two jaws Of which fit into
each other and clasp after the manner
Of the human hands.
"Thcre is Western inventor who
tells Of dreaming of railroad spikes ono
night last summer. He saw around
him nothing but spikes, hundreds and
thousands of them, and tons and tons
piled up in front of him. But these
spikes differed from any other he had
ever seen In that the four faces were
groovcd. He thought about those
spikes when he woke up, and next
night saw more spikes than ever in
his dream. Then he became convinced
that those spikes were intended as the
foundation for the fortune that he had
been striving for. AS result the West
ern man has applied for patent upon
the invention, which it IS claimed eff
fects a saving of 90 per cent. in the
steel used. and makes cheaper and
better means Of holding the rail to the
tie than heretofore employed"

man." as he was called, will be re-
ceivcd with genuine regret throughout
the whole of Wales Mr.. Ashton was
one Of those patient plodders so num-
erous in North Wales where there is
much less of the rush and stress of
life than in the southern portion of the
principality. A child of the Eisteddfcd,
he had published an historical work
under its auspices. But the dream Of
his life was to produce complete and
authoritative photography of Welsh
literature. Amid the picturesque soli-
tudcs of Dinas Mawddwy, where the
polccman's life ought to be a happy
one and the most hen0us crime is the
absence of the owners name from a

with scholars everywhere who We're

literature and were happy to help him

CHRISTOPHER GLACIER.
Icy Tomb of Thousands of the Long
legged Insects.

There are many remarkable glaciers
In that part of the Rocky Mountain up.
lift that crosses the southern border Of
Montana. A part Of this region has
hitherto been unmapped and its more
elevated portions were unvislted and
unnamed until last summer, when a
geographical party piloted the way up
the mountains and discovered some Of
the largest glaciers in the temperate
regions Of the western world. Here
rises Granite Peak which, according to
Mr.. Gannett is the eliminating point
of Montana, 1884 feet high.
Among the glaciers found in these
mountains and recently described by
James p. Kimball Is Grasshopper Gla-
cier, which derives its name from the
enormous quantity of grasshOpper re-
mains that are found on and in the
glacier. Periodically the grasshoppers
that thrive in the prairie to the north
take their flight southwark and must
needs cross the mountains. Their fayo-
rite route seems to be across this wide
glacier, and in the passage scores of
them succumb to the rigOr of cold and
wind, fall helpless upon the snow and
are finally entombed in the ice. In the
course of time billions of them have
been the victims Of this glacier. They
are, Of course, carried by the ice river
down into the valley and deposited at
the melting edge of the ice, and Mr..
Kimball says that thousands Of tons of
grasshOpper remains are the principal
material at the lower edge Of the gla-
cier. We hear very often of rocks ands
sand as forming the terminal moraine
of glaciers, but here is glacier whose
principal moranal material is grass
hoppers.
These insect remains are washed out
of the ice in burrows wherever the
suns heat has grooved the surface in
to runlets of descending water. The
grasshopper's permeate the glacier
from top to bottom. No fragment of
ice can be broken so small as not to
contain remains Most of the insects
have been reduced to coarse powder,
and the burrows of them washed out
by the runlets and naturally disposed
in parallel lines are very dark in color.

A THIRD HAND
Barry Pain Says That Is One of the
Needs of Man.

When nature gave us two hands she
gave us all that we wanted at the
time, but we have moved on, and ma
ture has remained stationary. We have
the trolley car to take us down town.
We carry with us Il hat (Which blows
or when there Is slight breeze and
Is ruined by shower of rain, an UNI
brella to protect the hat, and Il small
black bag containing papers. On our
way back we have in addition in an
other bag n piece of fish which we
have purchased in the market and are
taking home to our residence. Laden
with these impedilncnts, we attempt
to board car in motion.
AT first sight it would appear that
one hand is necessary to catch on to
the rail, another hand to hold the
black bag and another to hold the fish
bag. But this Is not so in practice One
hand can satisfactorily account for a
black bag, an umbrella and fish bas-
ct The trouble begins when we try
to hold on the hat with the same hand
with which we are gripping on to the
rail And in the case of the two-hand-
ed man this happens every day. AS at
present constructed, we lose our Lat
or our balance, or both. The third
hand would make all secure.
Go down town at midday and enter
any of the popular restaurants, and
you will be faced at once with the
great luncheon difficulty. There is u
long counter and number of men
seated at it on high stools The coun-
ter itself is crowded, and there are
many waiting for their chance at 1t,
and wasting valuable time Now there
Is room and to spare, but not against
the counter.
The third hand blots out all the diff
ficultics of the rush luncheon at once.
The third or middle hand, spread out
fiat would hold the knife. and the left
the fork. as now The counter could
be removed entirely, thus giving more
space. Every man would be his own
counter. When the human race first
started with the original couple there
was plenty of room and two hands
sutficed, but in the crowded condition
Of the metropolitan luncheon the third
hand, to hold the plate. has become
necessity. Having acquired the rush
luncheon, we must inevitable acquire
the third hand.
Pass from the business to the social
function. Let us suppose that 1t Is a
reception after wedding. The we'd
ding presents are arranged round the
room. There is an enormous crowd of
smartly dressed people; there are two
detectives, carefully disguised to look
exactly like detectives; there are re-
freshments. In the middle of the room
is a young man with coffee ice in
each hand making his way to two Ia
dies in the corner. There Is crowd
round him and no available place on
which he can put down either of the
ices; and at that moment it becomes
an imperative necessity that he shall
sneeze. Think what third hand
would mean to him at that moment

Lungs Doing the Duty Of Ears.

The catfish uses his lungs as an Or
gan of hearing. The needless lung be-
comes n closed sac filled with air and
commonly known as the swim blad-
der In the catfish, as in the suckers,
clubs and most brook fishes, the air
bladder is large and is connected by
slender tube, the remains of the trach-
ca, to the oesophagus. AT it's front it
fits closely to the vertebral column.
The anterior vertebrate are much en-
larged, twisted together, and through
the passes chain of bones which con-
meet with the hidden cavity of the air.
The air bladder therefore assists the
ear of the catfish as the tympanum
and its bones assist the ear of the
higher animals. An ear of this sort can
carry little range of variety in sound
1t probably gives only the impression
of jars or disturbances in the water.
