AUTOMATIC FEED BAG.
II Prevents spiiling and Waste of
Grain when Horses Have to he
Fed on the Street.

Many a horse when fed on the street
wastes portion of the feed by spilling
1t out of the feeding device in trying to
get at it, and with the idea of prevent
ing this loss Thomas 4. Howard, of Bal
timore, Nd, has devised the feed bag
shown in our illustration. The inten-
tion is to supply just enough feed at
time in the lower chamber to keep
even with the demand, the remainder
of the grain being contained in the
hopper shown at the rear. The supply
hopper is suspended behind the ami
mails throat by straps attached to the
bride, and the front portion is held in

and of adequate strength to safely
hold pressure of $50 to $50 pounds
per square inch.
On top of the body is a wrought iron
tower, about six feet high, surmount-
ing which is lantern. Surrounding
the lantern is a cage for protecting it,
and the tower is provided with plat
form on which TO stand to light or add
just the flame.
just below the platform is suspend
ed n bell weighing ls5 pounds. The
bell is sounded automatically every 20
or 80 seconds, or indeed at regular in
tervals of any duration, all of which
may be predetermined. The flow of
the gas from the receiver TO the lam
tern furnishes the means of operating
the bell. Thus reliable sounding OF
the bell warning is secured without
any dependence upon the action of the
waters. as is the case with the old
fashioned bell buoys
The advantages of these buoys can
be easily understood, for they not only
furnish a fixed or flashing light, that
can be seen distance of between six
and eight miles, but operate in COM
bination, and most successfully, bell,
thus affording double protection to
mariners. These buoys will burn con-
tinuously day and night, from three
months to one year, with one charge
of gas, and may be rented for about
so cents a day, including the cost of
gas. Buoys of this type without the
bell attachment are used very largely
by all the civilized nations of the
world, and are officially recommended.
England has 236 in service; France,

Remarkably effective as an aid to

The height of the buoy over all is 1s

plane it measures ten feet six inches.

buoy is seven feet, the total weight
being $500 pounds. The body of the
buoy forms the receiver for the COM

AUTOMATIC FEED BAG.

place by strap attached TO the check
rein. A stiffening ring is placed at the
top of the feed pouch, and in the bot
tom is wooden disk followed out on
the upper side to throw the feed toward
the center and prevent its accumulation
around the sides. 1t is obvious that the
grain will feed by gravity into the feed
pouch, and that the supply will be de-
pendent upon the amount consumed
by the animal. An important feature
of the device is that when the horse
lowers its head the pouch is raised by
the action of the check rein, thus allow
ing the animal to obtain good mouth

Making Toast for InvaIids.

Invalids the world over are given
their bread in the form of toast, and
there are many persons ignorant of
why this is done. 1t is because toast
ing bread until it becomes brown
largely converts the starch into dex-
trine. 1t will be found that the thin
ner the slices of bread and the more
thoroughly they are toasted-not
burned, but still changed to deep
brown color-itwill be found to be still
more easily digested than the ordi-
nary toast.

FELL DOWN A SHAFT.
Faint from Hunger, an Unknown
Polander Falls $50 Feet from
a Mine Carriage.

A Polander, recently come to this
country and whose name could not De
learned, was killed by falling two hun
dred and fifty feet from the carriage
in the Dickson shaft, on Market street,
yesterday afternoon, about 4 o'clock.
1t was his first day to work in the
mine and not having provided himself
with dinner can, did not bring any
food with him. 1t is supposed that he
became faint while ascending on the
carriage and staggered over the edge
of the platform. There were nine other
men on the carriage, but his disap-
pearance over the side of the platform
was so sudden that none of them had
even a chance of catching him.
He was picked up dead, with his
neck broken, arms and legs fractured
and head terribly crushed.
The mine ambulance conveyed his re-
mains to where it was supposed he had
been boarding. but the people at the
house denied that they ever knew him,
and refused to take in the remains.
The miners who accompanied the am
bulance took it for granted that it was
another case of dead man no good"
and determined that the remains
should be delivered there. After sew
eral unsuccessful attempts at getting
into the house, the miners broke into
the basement deposited the remains
on the floor, covered them over with
some boards, and went their way.
The authorities afterwards sent
Undertaken Jones to prepare the body
for burial.

PASSENGER ENGINE DERAILED.
No. 93S Ran Into an Open Switch in
the Taylor Yard.

Passenger train No. zoo, on the
Bloomsbury division of the Lacka-
wanna railroad, due in this city from
Plymouth at $40 p. M, was delayed
over half an hour yesterday afternoon
as a result of the engine running into
an open switch in the Taylor yard.
The train was in charge of Conduc-
tor Fraunfelker and Engineer Taylor,
and the engine was No. 93S. The loco
motive plOughed into the ties for o
considerable distance, and was derailed
and crippled to some extent. Engineer
Taylor received a severe shaking up,
and many of the passengers were
thrown forward in their seats, but none
were injured.
The train was stopped suddenly, but
none of the coaches left the rails. An
other engine was quickly attached to
the train, and after some switching
was done, the coaches were hauled to
the LaCkawanna station. One of the
passengers, an aged lady, named
Vaughn, residing at Moscow, COM
planned Of being injured, but she was
able to change cars at the station with
out much difficulty.
The trucks and coaches were thor
Oughly examined and found to be all
right. The disabled engine was re-
placed on the track and later taken to
the repair shop.

PIANoFoRTE RECITAL.
Given by Pupils of Albin Korn, As
sisted by Miss Florence Levi.

A deliGh full programme was enjoyed
by an apprciative audience last night
in Guernsey hall, through the efforts
of the students of Albin Korn.
The first number wos Beethoven's
"Sonate Pathetique, (First Move
menD," by Albin Korn himself 1t
was rendered with fine feeling and a
thorough understanding of the great
master. Miss Flora Levi followed with
Foote's Irish FolkSOng," which
more than deserved the hearty ap-
plause she received.
The next number was BOhn's Noe
turne, TO My Star" which Miss Ka
thryn Fink rendered with force and
vigor that awakened the poetic feel
ing of her hearers. She was followed
by Miss Julia Johnson, who showed
by her rendition of Lichner's "Tyro-
lienne," that she had spent many
faithful hours in the PREPARATION of her
part.
The fifth number on the programme
was a very creditable performance,
when one considers the students age
and the piece she chose. She certain
ly gives great promise of a successful
musical future. She was followed by
Miss Ada Conner, who gave Geibers
Rustic Waltz" She we'll merited the
continued applause she received. The
next number ows Baumfelder's Elm
Tanzchen Elm Grunen," played by
Freddie Ferber. Master Ferber throws
himself body and soul into his work
and shows marked musical ability.
Master Keistis Szlupas played in an
excellent manner and was followed by
Miss Eliza Sly, who gave Beach's
"Pantalon" with musical spirit that
sent one off to the realms of Shakes
peare's "Midsummer's Night Dream"
capering with the fairies and elves.
Miss Rafter, who recently spoke at
the high school class night, inter-
preted Bohn's "Kusshandehen" in a
splendid manner after which Miss
Lizzie Weller closed with a very fitting
selection, entitled, "Recellections of
Home" which made a beautiful finale
to the evenings tertainment.

The petition TO a rule to revoke the
license of the Nay Aug Falls and Elm
hurst Boulevard company, made by
City Solicitor Vosburg, was formally
presented to Judge John i. Kelly in
chambers yesterday, to the accompani-
ment of informal arguments by Mr..
Voshurg and Major Everett Warren,
the latter representing the boulevard
company.
Major Warren characterized the ac-
tion of the city as a piece of legal
effrontery. The question of license, he
claimed stands or falls altogether out
side of the toll gate question. The
boulevard company, he went on to say.
applied for a license and the court
granted one. The order granting the
license was framed in exact conformity
with the statute and If the statute
does not give the company a right to
erect a toll gate within the city, the
order of court could not grant such
a privilege.
There was nothing in the present pro
Ceedings setting forth that a toll gate
had been within the city, he averred,
and as the city has no more right to
concern itself about the boulevard
company being granted a license than
it would have "to get a rule on me
to show cause why / am living" as
| Major Warren put it, there is nothing
before the court.
City Solicitor Vosburg contended
| that the toll gate in Nay Aug park
was erected under the license granted
by tie court. The statute prescribes
| that at The completion of turnpike
| five miles or more in length, the own
| ers may apply to court and secure
| a license authorizing necessary and
| sufficient toll gates" any place along
| the route. The boulevard, as stated
| in its charter, extends from Arthur
avenue in Scranton to Elmhurst. I'm
| der the license as above set forth, the
| boulevard company, exercising the
| discretion given in the statute under
which the license was framed, erected
a toll gate within the city limits. There
is law against erecting a toll gate
within the limits of q city, Mr.. Vos-
| burg claimed, and consequently the
| license was inadvertently granted.
Judge Kelly took the petition, say
ing he would consult Judge Edwards,
who made the order granting the IL
cense. Tajor Warren asked that he
might be given a chance to be heard
before a rule was granted.
The thing was such a complete ABB
surdity, he said, that he did not think
that even a rule should be granted.

DAVIS SKIPPED BOARD BILL.
He Is the Famous Ball Player, Who
DWelt at the Faurot House.

H. C. Davis, who was arrested
Wednesday night in Allentown by City
Detective John Mor on the charge of
skipping a board bill of $42, preferred
by Mrs. Elizabeth Risley, proprietor of
the FaurOt House, on Washington
avenue, was yesterday held in 5000
bail by Alderman Howe. He was un-
able to furnish it, and all yesterday
remained in the central police station.
Davis lived here for several months
and during that time was engaged in
furthering an advertising project. He
also posed as a sporting man, and
gave out the impression that he was
an athlete of no mean ability. II used
to pitch in the New England league"
was one of his proud assertions, and
banking on this he made the acquaint-
ance of Manager Burnham, of the
Scranton team, and was a regular pa
tron of the games.
He talked volubly about his base
ball experience and gave the local
manager a good-sized opinion of his
prowess. although he was never seen
doing any base ball practice. AS a
result of this, came a very funny hap
pening at Athletic park. The profess
sional Reading team disbanded, as will
be remembered by all followers of the
ill-starred Atlantic leagues history
and a debonair youth with long hair
named McLauglin came to Scranton
with seven ice wagon drivers, breaker
boys, etc, to give the team of local
cracks an argument on the diamond.
When the time for the game arrived
Mr. Mclaughlin found himself to be
short q player. He ran to the park
gate, looked up and down the road for
a possible candidate, frantically ac-
cOstel a member of the Kelly's Patch
Indians and was turned down, and
then asked Burnham to loan him a
man. Ulysses Burnham looked into
the grand stand and his eye fell or
Davis. There's your man." he re-
marked quietly, and fifteen minutes
later II. c. Davis was arrayed in a
gorgeous Reading uniform and ambled
out into center field.
The exhibition he gave is still. fresh
in the minds of all who saw the game
He only got possession of the ball or
