The many thousands of miles which Q
man unconsciously travels in his lifetime.
taking into consideration the PAGES his foot
steps measure as he walks about each day,
are enough to make him sit down to rest
for the remainder Of his life.
But now a German scientist has come
forward with some still more startling facts
concerning the journeys which our eyeid
undertakes every time 1t winks. and it is
not possible for us to see. he says, unless
we wink Unconsciously We wink once a.
second, so that for the time we are awake
during the day We voluntarily wink from
4S 600 to $1,000 times, and in a year have
moved our upper eyelidS down and up again
no less than 1925. 600 times. The distance
that the eyelid travels In its great speed Is
measured from single involuntary wink.
This, the scientist says. is quarter of an
inch both ways the eyelid moving equally
up and down: so that. taking the movement :
of both eyelids into consideration. they
cover some $1,000 inches in a day. The eye

An Agent of Destruction

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
Vibration is the great bugbear of this

stationary engineers in New Orleans. at

they are so subtle and intricate that 1t is
next to impossible to master them. They

on the life of machinery. l have known

When 1t is fractured, the interior will have

the secret of the breaking of great many
propeller shafts at sea.
There are different ways of stopping VI

set up countertremor in the opposite di-
rection One neutralizes the other. Quite

Fate Of Old OvereOats.
From the Chtca2o Tribune.

Where do the old overcoats go?'' Is q
query that is q natural successor to the old
riddle, where do the flies 90 in wfnter?'
The old overcoats seem somehow to fade
away. no one knows just how. The over
coat starts it's career on the back Of its
owner who paid 80 for It. It keeps him
warm and shelters him from cold winds
and from storms until 1t commences to get
frayed at the edges and the pockets are
torn down the sides. Then the owner uses
the coat for rainy days only. and no more
does he take 1t to call on his dancee or to
recline ON the hack OF = chair while he is
reading at the club. He keeps 1t another
summer and the moths get into 1t. and
when be takes It out In the fall 1t has holes

naughty man. and the 1anftor wears 1t
awhile until his wife gives 1t to the tramp
who wheeled out the three barrels Of ashes.
The tramp wears 1t until the old coat COM
menees to fall apart. Then he gives 1t to
another tramp, and 1t falls apart still more.
And then, some day. the coat has entirely
disappeared. No one knows how or when.
The coat just simply faded away. That's

Wash the Fruit.
From the Philsdelphia, Record.

"All kinds of diseases may be traced to
the eating of unwashed fruit" said a we'll

menting' on the spread Of disease through
unknown sources. The result of a careful
examination has clearly shown the danger
Of eating fruit Of any kind without wash
ing it. Grapes kept for time In a basket
on. a fruit stand were so covered with dust
that the water in which they were washed
was black. The man Of science, thinking
that perhaps the water contained tubercIe

Maidstone Stuck 1873 Hours,
From the Richmond Times,

Mr.. H. P. Morton Of Manchester, who was
bitten by mad dog two weeks ago. re-
turned Wednesday from North Carolina
where he went In search Of maidstone.
"A week ago Monday night Mr.. Morgan

the verge Of insanity. whether from the ef-
feet Of the bite or the horrible mental strain
1 had been in since the occurrence know
not, but 1 felt as though 1 would go mad"
"On Tuesday and about noon the stone

Mr.. Morgan says he suffered little or no
pain during the time. He has with him a

poison in his system. 1t fails to hold"

New Ferry Scheme at Belpre.

There is a scheme on foot among
some people who failed tc get a lloense
to run boat straight across the riv-
er as a ferry for points in the upper
portion of this city and Belpre to make
regular steamboat line CT the boat
they propose purchasing, which is to
start from lower Belpre, touch at the
Parkersburg wharf, proceed on up the
river and touch below Riverside, go
across to Belpre Green, come back to
below Riverside on down to the wharf
here again and on to lower Belpre, re-
turning as before. A regular govern
ment packet license is included in the
project. This all comes about by the
decision of the court at Marietta
against the establishing of a ferry
above Belpre to a point opposite on
this side, and it is believed that the
plan here outlined would clrcumvent
the decision of the court and make q
paying trade.-Journal.

The Years Prosperity.

1t is very easy to realize when g
country is passing through season o
business depression, but seasons OF
prosperity are taken more as a matter
of course by the American people.
1t needs no great study Of busines,
conditions to know that within tn,
past three years the country has en-
joyed prosperity which has been un.
precedented This Is not true of on,

A Case Of Identification.

A richly dressed woman entered the
Office of a trust company in Philadel-
phia the other day to rent box.

asked the attendant. Certainly not"
said the woman Indignantly; every
body knows who am" THAT may

that you are the woman of that name. u
Just then another woman who had
been transacting some business, raised
her head and a frigid nod passed be-
tween them. do you know this wom-

Payne to Succeed Hanna.

Senator Hanna is to decline re-
election as Chairman of the Republic
can National Committee. This has
been rumored repeatedly in the past
three months, but when approached
those nearest to the Senator have said
that nothing was settled and that any
definite announcement would be pre-
mature. Mr.. Hanna's invariable reply
to an inquiry about the matter has
been that nobody else was authorized
to speak for him and that he was not
yet ready to speak for himself. That
is still his position, but those in his
confidence for the first time now ad-
NIT that the retirement is practically
settled fact.
The Senator has intimated to the
President not only his entire willing
ness but his desire to be relieved OF
the craftsmanship. He has two rea-
sons. His health continues precarious
At times he feels pretty we'll, but
these alternate with periods of pain
and depression. The Senator does not
regard himself as physically fit for
the management If another campaign
The other reason Is that the Senator
believes a change in the Chalrmanshir
will be good politics.
So we'll understood is the intention
of Senator Hanna that the question OF
his successor is now being considered
carefully by the party leaders. The
first choice is Colonel Henry c. Payne
of Wisconsin. BY all present indica-
tions he will be the Chairman. This
would be a certainty if Colonel Payne
was more robust man. The plan IA
vored by most of those who have beer
consulted is to make Colonel Payne
the Chairman and put upon the Execu.
tive Committee vigorous personality
TO undertake the burden Of detail in
campaign management.
This kind of an executive head is
found in the person of First Assistant
Postmaster General Perry S. Heath
Pressure is now being brought to bea1
upon Mr.. Heath to undertake thi.
work. Acceptance will necessitate Mr.
Heath's resignation frcm the Office hi
holds. But the successful issue of the
campaign will reflect a great honol
upon him. Mr.. Heath is non-commit
tai about his plans. The friends O.
the President are confident that Mr.
Heath will consent to become Colone

Most of the members of the Wash

gressional convention left over the o.

loon. A large number of parties in

crowd was about evenly divided in its
:endencies toward the different can
lates. The Davis men were easily dis

rom thir lapels. Senator Davis head
I'd his delegation and appeared to be
confident that he would be the recip-
ent Of the nomination at the hands OF
he convention. The "anti" men were
equally sure that the newspaper re-
ports in favor of VanVoorhis would be
verified on the first ballet. Several
Democrats from this city were in the
;rowd, among them being Mr.. A. d.
Tollett, who is spoken of as the pres
)ective Democratic nominee for Con-
yress in this district.
The Washington county crowd in
GAINESVILLE will be swelled today by a

A Channel Span Down.

Last evening about $50 o'clock the
western channel span CT the old Put
nam street bridge was dropped into
the river.
The span was gradually weakened
until it reached the danger point; then
charge of dynamite was let into vi
tai part and the charge set off. Quick
ly the span answered the summons
and with a groan and a twist, down
it went with a splash into the water
to be later dragged to shore and taken
apart.
