SANE AND RESPONSIBLE.
This Is the View Of the Experts al
to Leon F. CzOlgosx.

| Drs. Fowler, Gregg and Putnam, the
specialists who were requested by Dis
trict Attorney Penney of Buffalo, to ex-
anime into the mental condition of
Leon F. Czolgosz, the assassin Of the
president, have made public their re-
port, in which they state as the result
Of frequent examinations of Czolgosz,
Of the report Of his watchers, and Of
his behavior in court, that they have
| concluded that he was sane at the
time he planned the murder, when he
shot the president and when he was on
trial"
His first examination was but few
hours after the commission Of the crime
and while he was still uniformed Of
the fate Of his victim. During the first
| three examinations Czolgosz answered
questions unhesitatingly. After that,
however, he became more cautious and
less communicative. He had common
school education, the reports say, and
he read and wrote we'll. During the
first days examination he said he plan
ned killing the president three or four
days after he came to Buffalo. The re-
port then recites, in Czolgosz's own
words. the assassin's story Of the MUIR
der Of President Mckinley. The sani-
ty of Czolgosz was held, the report
says, from the history Of his life as 1t
came from him. He had been sober,
industrious and law-abiding; till he
was 81 years of age he was. as others
of his class, a believer in the govern
ment Of this country and Of the religion
of his fathers. After he cast his first
vote he made the acquaintance of an
archistic leaders who invited him to
their meetings. He was a good listener
and in a short time had adopted their
theories. He was consistent in his ad-
herence to anarchy. He did not believe
in government and therefore he refused
to vote. He did not believe in marriage
because he did not believe in law. He
killed the president because he was a
ruler and Czolgosz believed as he was
taught, that all rulers were tyrants;
that to kill a ruler would benefit the
people. He refused lawyer because
he did not believe in law, lawyers or
courts.
1--WE come to the conclusion that in
the holding Of these views Czolgosz was
sane, because these opinions were form
ed gradually under the influence of an
archistic leaders and propagandists. In
Czolgosz they found willing and intel
ligent tool; one who had the courage
of his convictions, regardless Of per-
sonal consequences. The most careful
questioning failed to discover any hal

COMPRESSED AIR INVENTIONS.
Important Uses That Have Resulted
From Recent Discoveries.

From Recent Discoveries.
When George Westinghouse invent
ed the air brake, in 1869. he produced
the first practical method Of utilizing
compressed air. UP to that time all
pumps or compressors had been Of the
crudest form. Little advance was
made until 1881, when the air hoist or
lift was invented. Since that time pro-
gress in this direction has been rapid,
and we now have compressed air at
work in the street service, pneumatic
dispatch tubes, pneumatic switches
and signaling, pneumatic canal locks
and caissons, and many other forms.
The Munsey describes two wonderful
pneumatic inventions, the hammer and
the drill.
The credit for inventing the air ham,
mer, a marvellous yet comparatively
simple tool, seems to belong to Joseph
Boyer, of st. Louis, and it Is scarce
ten years since the first one was placed
on the market. In appearance, these
hammers resemble a clumsy pistol
having a thick barrel, in the muzzle Of
which may be inserted a chisel or 9TH
er suitable tool. On this a plunger
within the barrel, worked by air pres
sure, strikes successive blows. Its ac-
ton is very rapid. Sometimes the
blows are as many as 1,5O0 a minute;
and yet, by little, flnger-pressed tr1g-
ger, the operator may vary at will
from the force of a sledge to the light
tap of a tack hammer.
The compressed air riveting hammer
Is one of the most remarkably efficient
tools ever produced. 1t was introduced
only five years ago, but its great labor
saving qualities have made 1t a neces-
sity in every up-to-date railroad shop,
shipbuilding plant and structural iron
and steel works in the land. 1t
weighs but 1S pounds, and has stroke
of only nine inches; and yet, without
any perceptible exertion, in about five
seconds it will drive home and neatly
head a rivet one and half inches in
diameter, striking at the rate Of 800
blows minute during the process. 1t
would take two expert boilermakers at
least three minutes, with heavy
sledges, to accomplish the same result
The pneumatic drill is another new
tool; but so promptly have manufac-
turers recognized its labor-saving
properties tina. the demand far exceeds
the present supply, although hundreds
are turned out every day. They are
used for drilling holes In iron, Steel or
wood: are light and easily handled,
and compared with the time-honore
brace and bit, or ratchet drill, thel"
speed Is as that of the hare to that Of
the tortoise. The rock drill, one Of the
oldest compressed air tools, has lately
been so improved that one machine
strike 5000 blows minute, and really
tears through ordinary stone.

THE SMILE CURE FOR BLUES.
Turn Up the Corners of the Mouth,
and Melancholy Departs.

Turn Up the Corners of the Mouth,
and Melancholy Departs.
A well-known doctor Of Minneapolis,
who has made speciality of nervous
disorders, has found q new remedy for
the blues" AS no drugs are adminis-
tered, he has felt safe in experimenting
with at least half a hundred melanchol-
ly patients, and now declares himself
thoroughly satisfied with the good re-
suits Of his treatment. His prescrip-
ton reads something like this:
IF you keep the corners Of your
mouth turned up you can't feel blue"
The directions for taking are: Smile
keep on smiling-don't stop smiling"
1t sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Well,
just try turning up the corners Of your
mouth, regardless Of your mood, and
see how it makes you feel; then draw
the corners of your mouth down and
note the effect, and you will be willing
to declare there's something in it.
The doctor treats his nervous patients
to medicine when necessary; but, when
the case Is one Of pure melancholy,
without bodily i'll, he simply recon-
mends the smile cure. He has the pa
tient remain in his office and smile; If
it isn't the genuine article 1t must at
least be an upward curvature Of the
corners Of the mouth, and the better
feelings follow inevitably. The treat
ments are followed up regularly, and
the patients all testify to their good
effect. 1t takes considerable persua-
sion to induce some Of them to apply
the cure, and, of course, the greater
number Of patients are women, for
when a man is blue, he is bound to be
blue in spite of everything; but a wo-
man is more easily persuaded to try
to find cure.
The doctor declares that If persons
will only draw down the corners Of
their mouths and use sufficient will
power they can actually shed tears. On
the other hand. If they will persistent
ly keep the corners Of the mouth turn
ed up, pleasant thoughts will chase
away the gloomy forebodings. His dis.
covery grew out Of an experience in
his own home. His wife was Of ner-
vous and rather morbid temperament,
and when in a respondent mood he
would ask her to smile a little until
the saying came to be a household joke.
But it brought about good results and
then came the inspiration to try the
same cure on others.
The doctor has not patented hisErem-
edy. and it is free to all who choose to
take advantage of it.-Minneapolis Tri-
bune.

DRESS THEIR OWN WOUNDS.
Some Birds That Possess Grea
Knowledge of Surgery.

Some Birds That Possess Great
knowledge of Surgery.
There are not a few birds that pos
sess a knowledge Of the principles OF
surgery that is not far from superna-
tural. The woodcock, the partridge
and some other birds are able to dress
their wounds with considerable skill
A French naturalist says that on sew
eral occasions he has killed woodcock
that were, when shot, convalescing
from wounds previously received. In
every instance he found the old injury
neatly dressed with down plucked
from the stem Of feathers and skillfully
arranged over the wound evidently by
the long beak Of the bird. In some in
stances a solid plaster was thus form
ed, and in others ligatures had been ap-
piled to wounded or broken limbs.
One day he killed bird that evident
ly had been severely wounded at some
recent period. The wound was covered
and protected by a sort Of network OF
feathers which had been plucked by
the bird from it's own body and so ar
ranged as to form a plaster completely
covering and protecting the wounded
surface. 1t had evidently acted as
hemostatic in the first place and sub
sequently as shield covering the
wound. The feathers were fairly net
ted together, passing alternately under
and above each other and forming a
textile fabric Of great protective power
Birds are often found whose limbs
have been broken by shot with the
fractured ends neatly joined and liga.
ted. NJ. Dumonteil tells of woodcock
that had been shot by a sportsman or
the afternoon of a certain day. After
long search the bird was taken up
but it was discovered the next morning
by an accident. In the meantime the
wounded legs were found to be neat
ly ligated, an exquisitely neat bandage
having been placed around each limb
The poor bird had in dressing its
wound entangled it's beak with some
long, soft feathers, and had it not beer
discovered it would have died Of star.

GRADE CROSSINGS.
Decrease In ts.e Number OF Accident
From This Cause.

From This Cause.
Since 1898 the number Of railroad
accidents at crossings at grade has
fallen off Is per cent, though the vol
ume of railroad travel in the United
States has largely increased and the
number Of trains is much greater.
This decrease is due largely to the
legislation, in which New York was
the pioneer, for the abolition Of all
grade crossings, says the New York
Sun. The Anti-Grade Crossing law OF
New York, adopted in 1897, provided
that steam surface roads thereafter
built must be constructed to avoid al
crossings at grade. New streets, av.
enues or highways, when carried
across the tracks Of existing steam
roads, must be either above or below
grade, and the extra cost Of such CON
struction is to be paid half by the
municipality and half by the road
crossed. Where existing crossings ara
changed upon the application of the
municipal authorities or Of a railroad
company the expense of such change il
to be paid as follows: One-half by the
railroad company, one-quarter by the
state and one-quarter by the municipal
authorities. All street surface rail-
roads hereafter constructed in New
York across a steam railroad shall be
either above or below its grade. The
legislature is authorized to approprl-
ate not less than 500. 900 annually to
defray the states share of the expense
imposed by compliance with this stat
ute. Massachusetts,, in which the
population outside of the large cities
IS more dense than in New York, ap-
propriates 100000 a year for the eIimi-
nation Of grade crossings and has al
ready expended $2,500, 900 for this pur-
pose, and the railroad companies in
Massachusetts, largely owned in New
York; have paid $4,000, 900 for the same
purpose. Under a law passed by the
Tennessee legislature in 1889, the rail-
roads are obliged to grade road cross
ings to the level OF the rails, and to
keep them in repair for ten feet on
each side of the track. The Connecti-
cut legislature adopted a similar meas
ure and it has been strictly enforced
in that state. Nearly every western
state and some southern and Pacific
states have followed New York's lead
in gradually doing away, where prac-
ticable, with the old fashioned method
OF laying railroad tracks on the same
level as the intersecting wagon and
carriage roads. There are few roads
In the country on which there has not
been in recent years some effort to re-
duce the number of grade crossings.

eeronlmo.s sourenir coat.

Abraham Jefferson, a negro, was
held to the grand jury recently on a
charge of larceny, says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake of Abraham
and Jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey, the railway
restaurant man. curiously made
buckskin coat. which was formerly a
possession of the bloodthirsy Apache
chief, Geronimo. The coat, which was
exhibited in court. is an interesting
specimen of Indian handiwork. and a
striking commentary on the character
of old Geronimo. 1t is festooned with
forty or fifty long tufts of hair. which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads of the many white women
whom the old chief had killed. Ger
onimo must have had particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair.
or penchant for that kind of decora-
ton for his coat. for. with one excep-
ton, all the hair is of that color. The
exception is a very light brown. which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair is long. 1t is attached in hit
or-miss fashion to all parts of tbs
coats exterior, and hangs down the
back so thick as to almost conceal the
highly colored painted figures which
constitute the rest of its ornamental
ton. AS a curio the coat was worth
about $500.

A TRANSPORTATION.
Mysterious Disappear nee of Deer from
Back Porch.


Jones would like to meet the man
that did it, says the Detroit Free
Press. He says that if the party who
took the deer viii disclose his identity
he may keep the animal for his trou-
bic. But it is not likely the guilty
wretch will come forward. as he dis
likes to attract attention. Jones re-
turned from northern Michigan. where
he had been on hunting trip. He
claims that he shot a deer while he
was there, and brought it home with
him. At any rate. he had one with
him when he got back. This much
the neighbors are willing to testify
to, as he was careful to hang the deer
on the back porch. where the whole
neighborhood could not help seeing it.
One neighbor has been unkind enough
to insinuate that one of its legs was
broken and that there were other in
dications to prove that the deer had
been caught in a trap and dubbed to
death. Unfortunately this point must
always remain in doubt unless the
guilty person comes forward and adds
his testimony regarding the facts in
the case. Jones, after seeing that the
deer was hung where the neighbors
could see it, went downtown, collected
a party of friends and lured them IN
to the house by promising them some
of the venison. On their way there
they were vastly entertained BY his
vivid account of how he lyiIIed fha d..
by making shot that was next to
impossible. He took them around to
the rear of the house, only to find that
some one had not only removed the
deer. but had substituted a dead calf
in its place. 1t is hard to tell which
makes Jones the maddest, the loss of
the deer or the doubt his friends ex-
press whether he really did kill
deer, as he says.
