CLOCK WITH HISTORY.
French Republic to Send TeIe-
graph Messages.

One of the most curious clocks in
the world represents a square tower
Ornamented with a dial, and it is sur
mounted by an aerial telegraph. At
the base is a fountain, and while this
flows the arms of the telegraph are
also in motion giving regular signals.
This primitive method of telegraph
ing was definitely adopted by the ma
tional convention, in Paris, on July
25, 1898. During the wars of the
French republic and empire it rem
dered great service and did not fall
into disuse until the close of the
CTimean war.
The mechanism of the clock, says
the New York Herald, moves the tele-
graph and the fountain. 1t is placed
in the lower part of the tower and

OPIE READ ON HEAT.
Famous Story Writer Discusses
Hot Wave in Chicago.
0AHy COntented Creature Is the An.
cient Citizen Who Loves to Tell
TruthfuI Stories About the
Sizzling Past.

At a time when London was boiling

age American city now he would 90
ever further than that, writes Opie
Read in the Chicago American. He
would insist that the bones should be
scraPed. When Chicago suffers from
heat the rest of the country is in ag-
ony. When the Chicago man perspires
the New Yorker reeks. And this is at
present about the only consolation we
have-that some one else is hotter. We
all of Us allow that it is but meager
comfort; it does not restarch a wilted
collar nor render a shirt less sticky,
but somehow it helps.
O"t of perspiring obscurity has come
the ancient citizen to tell of hot wealth
er in the past. He has known longer
and hotter seasons. The bubbling ther-
mometer tells him that he lies, but
that makes but little difference; ther-
mometers are not what they were in
his day.
An old gentleman told me this story
and expected me TO believe it:
About the time that Chicago was
sprawlingi nits first attempt to become
a town there came a season of intense
heat. Boiled whitefsh swan about in
the river. In hot pods baked beans
grew at nearly every door; and one day
a man who worked in cracker factory

his song. The trill Of early summer

consists of a toOthed barrel, four
wheels and a fly wheel. 1t can run
for u hours without being wound,
and a small bolt suffices to stop il
and set it in motion. The large arm
of the telegraph, known as the regu-
lator, turns now in one direction, now
in another, and so forms various sig
mails. The small wings, or indicators,
are moved by wires which are con-
nected with pulleys. Only four differ
ent figures can be produced by the
mechanism, but each of these can be
so modified that it becomes quite
easy to make no less than 196 tele-
graphic signals.
This old clock is still in perfect
working order, and several old per-
sons in France say they remember
seeing telegraph instruments of this
kind in their youth, and that they
worked well, except when there was
a mist or a fog, for then their signals
were entirely invisible.

THE MATTRESS BOAT.

care, for there are certain technical
details which are sure to bewilder a
landsman and the necessity of which
only sailor can appreciate.
This mattress boat" says the in
ventor, "can be used in place of the
ordinary mattress on transatlantic or
other vessels. In this way passen-
gers can Immediately lay their hands
on RATS which Will prove of infinite
service to them in case of shipwreck.
1t can also be used by explorers as an
ordinary sleeping couch, and, further
more, il has for them the additional
advantage that it can be easily raised
above the ground and thus enable
them TO avoid coming in contact at any
time with the damp earth. In such
cases, however, the space between the
mattress and the earth should be
filled with dry leaves or small branches
of trees. Moreover, as a boat of this
kind cannot sink, explorers would find
IT extremely useful in crossing rapid
rivers or other streams"
The inventor has made several tests
of this novel craft, and all of them
have proved successful.

to which the fedgling tried his wing.
1t is too hot to twitter.
On the grass lies a bald-headed man
asleep. His snore is a hot wave, au-
dible. The shade and the sun plucks
up a blister on his shining pate. Boys
who feel no heat are playing at the
waters side. Down the slope comes
the painting dog, hot but cringing from
the spraying squirt Of the water cart.
Even the grass is hot, and far down the
boulevard is a Zig-zag dance of heated
air. The whole of life is enervated.
The spirit of all energy seems to have
fed. The city is surrounded with list
lessness.
But down town the necessitous heart
is beating. The fat man puffs and
blows and sighs and bends himself to
labor. He is looking forward to a va
cation in the country at a place where
every square yard of atmosphere holds
two quarts of mosquitoes. He knows
that he will come home pipped like
nutmeg crater; he knows that the
green scum Of the pond is to be inject
ed into his veins; he knows that the
two-ounce perch is to cost him $50, that
on barbed wire he is to tear his clothes,
that in the farmers cellar he is to
pant like lizard, drinking refresh
ments" in the odor of dying sprouts
and mOldy potatoes, but with what
joy does he look forward to it all!
And his wife! To be relieved of
household cares, how delightful it will
be! Of course her boy will fall out
OF al apple tree, gasping out his breath
upon the ardent air; following will
come a night Of wakefulness, anxiety
and arnica; and then the youngest
daughter in opening the gate viii mash
her Hnger and a spiteful SOW Will fright
en- the baby and a dog Will bite Bobby
and & cat will scratch Louise-and the
resting mother will take care of her
own room, make the beds, do the
sweeping-but it is a vacation.
The weather man is safe in saying
that in sight there is no decided re-
lief. The wisest thing a weather man
can do is TO shake his head. A tenn
pestuous cold wave, coming bull-head-
ed, is of easy observation. He knows
that unless its course is diverted II
willreaeh a certain point.
Rut a hot wave is more insinuating.
It Is not heady; it faIters and feels
about and settles down. And how long
1t is going to stay there no man can
tell Like the Arab, il may steal away
in the night. But of its movements it
does not apPTise the weather man.
With harsh, fOddery rattle it laughs
at him.

the Holsters and Welsh rarebits that
were to be had for money, and in other
ways managed to interest themselves
in the industry of burning the candle
of lie at both ends.
These. of course. were wild oats of
the moro trivial sort. The tragedy be
gan TO darken when the blessed state
of matrimony hove into view as pos
sible solution of the destiny OF the
twins. It was the matrimonial expe-
rience uf both that gave the newspaper
historians their best opportunities. and
that brought to both brothers noto-
riety that either, no doubt, would have
gladly escaped.
The two engagements were an
nounced almost simultaneously. Miss
Lynne Fernald, the daughter OF Mrs.
]. W Fernald of Chicago, plightcd her
troth TO Sanger Pullman. Within a
few days II was announced that George
Pullman. Jr.. was engaged TO Miss Fe-

every assurance of his affection and
support From that time on Sanger
and his wife have lived happily. 1t
was to the doomed George that the
trouble came.
Very shortly after his brother
Sanger's marriage he resumed former
friendship with Mrs. Blanche Bowers.
one of the playmates of his childhood,
and the wife of the composer of sew
eral popular songs. The two were
seen together constantly. George took
Mrs. Bowers to New York, and it was
while living with her at the Gerard
hotel, on Forty-fourth street, that Mr..
Bowers brought suit for divorce
against his wife and an action against
Mr.. Pullman for $4,000 damages for
alienation OF the lady's affections. Mr..
Bowers has since secured decree of
divorce from his wife. The damage
suit probably terminates with the
death OF Mr.. Pullman.
Mrs. Pullman formerly Miss Fer
nald) secured divorce from her hus-
band last December. with balm for her
feelings in the way of $1,000 annual
alimony. That balm may or may not
cease with the death of the offender.
Fourteen days after that divorce Mr..
Pullman married Mrs. Brazelle, a
sister of his brother Sanger's wife. The
ceremony was performed in the Ar
lington hotel in Carson City. New.
Since that time and up to the day OF
Mr. pullmau'g death he and hie uifa
lived In California.

ers, however, Florence and Harriet, re-
ceived n magnificent share. Both of
these sisters are now married, one be-
ing Mrs. Frank q. Lowden of Chicago.
Sympathy for the two boys might
have been more marked IL il had not
been for the known intention of their
the publication of the terms OF the will,
to provide for them handsomely from
her own splendid jointure. She made
good her promises in no uncertain way,
and since their fathers death the twins
have suffered no lack of luxury. II
was In their dolngs before and after
their fathers death that the newspa-
pers OF New York and Chicago not to
speak OF other cities, found the pre-
text for biographical sketches that
were not always complimentary.
One Of the beautiful features OF this
strange modern domestic romance has
been the lasting and imperishahle af-
fection that has always existed be-
tween the two brothers. When either
one has been In a scrape or IN any sort

was at his brother Georges bedside
when he passed away. He was never
