The Piano TYnewriter.

After six years of continuous, patient
and industrious labor, Paul ]. Clenanth,
of Buffalo, has invented what he calls
the piano typewriter, and it is said to be
one of the inventions of the age.
The piano typewriter is an invention
which will prove decidedly useful to
any person who plays the piano, and es-
pecially to composers or bandmasters.
If a composer has a desire to write a
new piece of music all that is necessary
for him to do is to attach the new in
vention to his or her piano and play
what he thinks will make good music.
When he finishes. the notes that he has
played will be printed on a sheet Of pa
per and will be ready for publication.
If he hold the note for a quarter or half

hobnailed boots can do either, and,
what is worse, most of them are so con-
fident Of their own ability that they
will not take the precautlon to employ
a competent guide.
Nothing attests the nerve and the
courage and endurance of a man as
does mountain climbing, and it is quite
as much of a science as any other form
of athletic sport Experienced men
can tell at a glance the safest and the
most accessible paths and where and
between what hours there will be the
least risk Of falling stones. Swiss
guides who have been taken to the
Andes and to the Himalayas and even
to our own American mountains have
never failed to accomplish ascents
which men without experience have
considered impossible. 1t is simply a
matter of ability acquired by long and
patient study, yet any ordinary tourist
imagines that because one man can ac-
complish the feat another may do the
same even If he has never seen a
glacier. The greatest number Of acct
dents occur upon Mont Blanc, because
that is the easiest to reach and most
fashionable Of all the Swiss mountains
but at the same time it is the most dan
gerous because of meteorological con-
ditions. The weather is likely to change
at any time, and when a snowstorm
comes the danger is greatest.
While a party Of American tourists
were descending the Matterhorn some
time ago a mass of rock fell and hurled
several of the party down an ice gorge,
killing them instantly. The illustra-
ton to the right shows how the acct
dent occurred The party was de-
scendlng the mountain when the slip
which caused the fatality occurred.
The lower Illustration shows a party
leaving Zernatt to climb the Matter
horn.

During last year. according to a re-
port recently issued by the Alpine Club,
119 persons lost their lives while climb
Ing the Alps-more than double the
number for the previous year. Most Of
the accidents occurred in the neigh
borhood of Chamounix and were due to
the fOolhardiness and ineXperience Of
tourists. The number of accidents suf-
fered by experienced climbers was COM
paratively small.
Switzerland and the Tyrol are becom-
ing the holiday ground for more and
more people every year, and 1t may be
expected the lives lost Will be in the
same proportion. The increased num-
Der of accidents is therefore exactly
what might have been expected. When
one tourist attempted to scale a rocky
mountain side or a glacier ten years
ago there are twenty or perhaps fifty
nowadays with the delusion that any
body with an alpenstock and a pair of

Number of Railroad Accidents.

The interstate commerce commission
has issued bulletin showing accidents
ON railways in the United States for
the three months ended June 80, 1902,
and also presenting summaries for the
year ended to date mentioned.
The number of persons killed in train
accidents during May, April and June,
1909, was 142; the number injured,
$40. Accidents of other kinds, in
Guiding those sustained by employees
while at work and by passengers in
getting on or off the cars, ETC., bring
the total number of casualties up to
10, 1856 (616 killed and $500 injured).
The total number of collisions and
derailments was 2,0l0 1,094 collisions
and 9l66 derailments), of which 1917
collisions and 107 derailments affected
passenger trains. The damage to cars,
engines and roadways by these accidents
amounted to $1,S13, 1913. From the
other tables, it appears that 3O3 passen-
gers We're killed and 6,089 injured dur
ing the year; that ,507 trainmen were
killed and 10, 902 were injured and that
the total number of employees killed
was 2,516 and the total number injured
III.
A comparison of the figures for 1902
and 1898 shows the results of the safety
appliance act of 1898. The number of
employees killed shows a diminution of
6S per cent. The diminution in the
number of injured is 81 per cent.
The number of employees killed in
coupling accidents was 1873 in 1898;
2S2 in 1900; 1913 in 1901 and 143 in
1902. The number of employees injur-
ed in coupling accidents in 1898 was
11,277; in 1900, 1929; in 1901, ARCS,
and in 1902, 2,113.

Rare Modern Surgery.

One of the rarest operations known
to surgery-the sewing up of a severed
ventricle of a h1man heart-has been
performed at hospital in New York.
The patient was Annie Kingsley,
who was stabbed by her husband dur
ing a quarrel on the street.
She was thoght to be dying when
the ambulance reached the hospital.
Blood was pouring from a long wound
III the left .ventricle, which supplies
the body with blood, while the right
pumps to the lungs. The surgeons
knew the flow must be checked at once
if the woman was to be saved.
The operation was decided upon. 1t
was performed by two surgeons, with
l 3 more looking on The heart was
laid bare and the surgeons saw that the
wound was very severe. 1t would re-
quire six stitches. During the intervals
between beats of the heart the needle
was inserted six times and the flow of
blood stopped The wound was care
fnlly dressed and the surgeons waited
to see the result. The patient rallied
rapidly and the surgeons expressed the
belief that she will recover.

New Life Saving Device.

A demonstration of the efficiency of
a novel life saving invention has taken
place in the English channel, cables
the London correspondent of the New
York Herald. About four miles off
Folkestone tug sighted strange OBJ
ject in the water. Upon coming near
it was found to be a large globe. From
a manhOle on the top, mans head
projected. The tug went along side
and two men emerged from the globe.
They proved to be the inventor and his
assistant both Norwegians. Accord
ing to their story, the globe, which is
composed of aluminium, was put over
board from a steamer off Havre and
since that time it had been knocking
about the channel with its two occup-
ants. The inventor claims that it sat
isfied all requirements and expectations
and demonstrated its service ability for
saving lives at sea.
The tug towed the curious craft to
Dover, where it attracted much atten-
ton. 1t is about eight feet in diameter.
An air shaft is provided and it is
also fitted with water pump, sail and
rudder. Its capacity is claimed to be
sufficient for 16 persons, together with
$50 pounds of food and 100 pounds of
water.

Rare stonework niscorered.

During the progress of the present
restoration of st. Patrick's Cathedral,
Dublin, the remarkable discovery was
made that underneath the plaster Of
the time Of William and Mary real and

deenshire, Scotland, March IA. 1910. The
family came to America in 1916 and set
tied on a farm in Winnebago County, Ill.
Three years later the family acquired
large tract of government land in Fayette
County, Iowa, which became known as
Henderson prairie. Young Henderson
attended country school, and at the age
of Is he entered Upper Iowa College
and remained there and in the harvest
field until the Civil War began. One
morning he spoke in the university chapel

the country and. within a week enlisted
1O4 men and was made lieutenant. He
fought at Fort Henry, led a desperate
charge on Fort Donelson, where his jaw
was fractured by bullet. In the battle
of Corinth Henderson lost a leg. He
returned home and worked in the Iowa

BACK TO OMAHA.
Captain George H. Wheeiock is Re-
turned From the South.

Captain George H. Wheelock, of this
city who for the past thirteen months
has been stationed in New Orleans,
and connected with the revenue de-
partment of the government, has
again been transferred to Omaha
Neb., and has entered upon du1ies
there. Concerning Captain Wheelock
the Omaha WorldHerald says:
After having been stationed thir.
teen months at New Orleans, with a
jurisdiction including Louisiana, Mis-,
sissippi and Texas, Captain George H.
Wheelock, internal revenue agent, has
been transferred to Omaha, where be
was stationed for number of years.
Having to look after the govern
ment interests in Texas called Captain
Wheelock to the oil fields around
Beaumont very frequently He says
that sale of revenue stamps for stock
certificates of the oil companies down
there has netted the United States
thousands Of dollars. Many of the
companies, he says, We're legitimate
enterprises, while many more were up
on the wild cat plan with no prospect
of ever bringing any returns to the
parties buying stock The result of
striking oil has been of great benefit
to Beaumont and has helped Port Ar
thur materially. A great many of the
wells in the vicinity of Beaumont ARE
flowing and the oil is pipedsto Port Ar
thur. whence it is sent abroad.
The railroad companies operating in
Texas, Captain Wheelock says, are
changing their engines so that they
will burn oil instead of coal, thus saw
Ing thousands of dollars annually on
fuel. In many of the towns oil is
used for fuel, thus enabling the people
to discard coal in the furnaces of
the manufacturing establishments.

No advance notice of the action in

Newton, Jan. Especial Ut is
believed that nearly every person
present in the court room during the
Failor murder trial has been exposed
to case of smallpox. 1t was discov-
cred the day previous to the close of
the case that VIM. Becker, a farmer
living west of town who had been in
the court room each day of the trial,
had smallpox. He was quickly re-
moved and is now i'll and under quar-
antine at his home. So many new
cases are developing that it is feared
several hundred people have been ex-
posed. The board of supervisors of
the county have ordered that the court
room and the offices be carefully flu
migated. A strict quarantine will be
kept on all suspected cases.
