A SLEEPWALKER'S FEAT,

"An interesting case of somnambul-
ism is reported by NJ. Badaire, director
of the normal school at Blois. France.
1t is accredited by DR.. Dufay and
printed in The Proceedings of the

writes DR.. r. Osgood Mason, in the

phile Janicaud was pupil at the nor
NAL school, and in the month of Ju Y
of his second year he commenced to
walk in his sleep. On one occasion he
got up at night, determined to go fish
ing. His brother-in-law, NJ. Simonet.
decided to accompany him, but before
starting he induced him to alter his
plans and go and visit a relative in
stead. Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and un-
disturbed by the barking dogs or the
fatigue of long walk.
Finally, he was ready to return,
and on the way, coming to narrow
and dangerous path close to the river,
his brothcr-in-law cautioned him to
go carefully in the darkness. JAM
caud, with some scorn, declared tiat
he could see the better of the two, and
to prove it asked Simonet if he could
see the match under his foot. and,
sure enough, there was match. 1t
was dark night, and besides Jani-
caud was some 10 feet ahead of him
and had his nightcap drawn closely
over his face"

CANNOT DROWN FIRES.
DiAcultiss of Combating ConAaSPa-
Iions in Deep Coal
Mines,

Fighting fires deep down in coal
mines is task to put the heroism of
the bravest to the test. In an inter-
esting article on the subject in Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly, the author
tells how at Plymouth, large town
in the Wyoming valley, big mine
caught fire from the burning of
breaker. Some blazing timbers fell
down the shaft, setting il on fire, and
preventing entrance to the mine. The
fire burned in the shaft and spread
downward and inward. In this case
there was but one thing TO be done.
Great pumps were erected, and, the
river being near, water was poured
into the mine for months, until it
was flooded TO the bottom of the
shaft. Then the water was allowed
TO remain for some weeks, until, in
the opinion of the officials, it had
reached every nook and Granny of
the mine where fire could have
lodged. Then the weary work of
pumping il out commenced. 1t took
five months of constant effort by the
monster pumps. a couple of months
more work was needed TO make re-
pairs, and then il was discovered that
large fire burned in the mine. many
feet below the level the water had
reached. This was due to the air and
gases, generated by the fire, holding
back the food Of water, monster
cushion of compressed air and gas.
Vent holes had to be bored from the
surface to remove this, and the
weary work of flooding was begun
again. l, was two years before the
mine was in condition to resume
operations.

SPECULATION IN 100, CENTS.
They VIII Easily Bring Nineteen
Dollars in the Coin
Market,

A clustering young woman, out of
breath as though walking fast,
rushed up the steps of the mint the
other day, and asked to be directed
to the bureau of information.
There isn't any," replied the uni
formed messenger, very fat man,
reports the Philadelphia Record.
Perhaps l can tell you what you
want to know" perhaps you can,"
said the young woman. producing a
copy of frivolous weekly paper. 81
want to know il this is true" She
pointed to paragraph which read:
Among the curiosities of collecting
is the fact that 1901 cents now bring
about $40 in the coin market"
The fat messenger adjusted his
glasses and scrutinized the para
graph. While he was thus engaged
the young woman explained that she
had four 1901 cents, and wanted to
know what made them so valuable,
and where she could realize on them.
Then the fat messenger grew purple
in the face from suppressed laughter,
which finally exploded and seemed in
momehtary danger of having an
apopleptic fit. He called the atten-
tion OF the other messengers to the
paragraph, and then followed com
bined roars of mcrriment. In the
meantime the young woman with the
four 1901 cents wondered il she had
strayed by mistake into lunatic
asylum. Finally the fat messenger
regained his breath sufficiently to
gasp: ITS joke. Don't you see?
I'll give you sl9 for 1901 pennies, and
I'll be n cent ahead of the game.
See?" A great light seemed to dawn
in the mind OF the young woman. II
dare say it's very funny" she said,
but l don't think such things ought
to be printed" And she made her
exit sorrowfully.

4 paper bearing the prosaic title
OF "Underladen Sailing Ships and

ships. But one not frequently heard
OF by landsmen is that of under
loading when in ballast" The
danger of undertaking, Mr.. Alling
ham pointed out, was hardly less
great than that of overlooking. Yet
sailing ships and steamers proceed
to sea daily with insufficient ballast
whereas an overladen vessel would
be prevented from leaving port. The
question of providing an underload
line in addition to the present load
line might well be considered. In the
period from 1890 to 1900 no fewer
than 22 British ships disappeared
while on interocean voyages without
leaving a trace as TO their fate.

CAN'T USE THEM.
Aered Useless By stupid
English Builders.

All Americans who have lived in
London will have noticed the curious
facility with which Englishmen con-
trive to neutralize American inven-
tions by adopting them only in part.
1t is a symptom of the national myopia
which will never unreservedly admit
that the English way Of doing things
is not the best, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser.
Any American in London could give
dozen instances of this trait, and
they would embrace most conceivable
things, from railroad car couplings to
elevators, cocktails and soda foun-
tains.
The genius who put up the building
in which occupy fiat may serve as
an example. He was evidently infect.
ed with American ideas. He had heard
of elevators and dumb-waiters and
speaking tubes, and he had made up
his mind to lead all London by includ-
ing these conveniences in his fiat
houses.
But instead of connecting the speak
ing-tube with the kitchen, he put il
just outside the drawins-room, so that
il it were used at all, the entire house
hold would have to overhear the
struggles Of the servants with the
tradesmen; and instead OF running
up the dumb-waiter alongside the
kitchen or pantry, he placed il out
side the fiat altogether, in the hall,
opposite the elevator.
The consequence is, of course, that
neither dumb-waiter nor speaking
speaking-tube is utilized, and a happy
American notion is discredited in
English eyes, for lack of simple at
tention to the necessary details.

Too Many Doctors,

Statistics Of the country relating to
physicians indicate the possibility, if
not the actuality, of overcrowding in
the medical profession. 1t was found
in the census year that there was
one registered physician to every 655
people in the United States. That the
number is in excess of the need is
evidenced by comparison with Ger
many, where, in 1898. there was only
one physician to each AHA inhnb-
itants, or relatively about one-third

1t will be noticed that the increase OF
tax valuations in PENIS Grove is S34, 276,
the second largest increase in the county.
About 500, 600 of this is due to the capt.
tai stock in the new bank. About Sl4,0 600
of the stock is held by residents of Della
ware. The law requires it to be assessed
in the State, and makes a clear gain,
About IS, 900 is held in the State outside
of the Borough. Part of the other in
crease was caused by farmers retiring and
new houses being built.
The large increase in Woodstown was
caused by increase OF values on properties
formerly under assessed.
OF the eleven townships seven show a
decrease of $3.50, 425, while four show an
increase of only Sl4, 795, The increase OF
