A New Musical instrument.

A new instrument which is said to
combine the tone and compass of a
violin, a viola, a violoncello and a
double base, has just been invented by
a Viennese musician named Kuhmay-
er. It resembles a piano in appear
ance, and is played by means of a
keyboard and pedals, Each key is
connected with a bow, which passes
over the strings in the manner of 3
violin. The mechanism is said to be
exceedingly ingenious, so that the
most rapid runs, shakes and staccati
can be easily executed, while by
pressing the keys gently or firmly ev-
cry graduation of sound from soft to
loud can be produced. The instru-
ment is called a "Streiehklavier," and
the inventor is said to owe the sug-
gestion of it to Gounod

From Lewistown, Pa, comes the re-

asleep, arose from his bed and walked
out OF the third-story window of his
house and fell to the ground. a. dis.

dents to the depth of four inches were
found in the ground where his hips
and elbows had struck. McNitt's
younger brother, who saw him get out
OF bed, walk to the window and de-
Aberately step out, took a light and
ran down the stairs, expecting to find
his brother with his life crushed out
by the fall, but he was much surprised
when he saw him standing on his feet
looking about in a dazed manner and
unlnjured. He drank a glass of water
that was rendered him, then quietly
walked up the stairs and resumed his

ROMANCE FOLLOWS RELIGION.
Rudyard Kipling's Wife Started a Chur

Rudyard Kipling's Wife Started a Church
and Marriage Followed.
When Mrs. Rudyard Kipling was a
young girl she went out to little
mountain town in Colorado named Sa-
Ida, to live with her brother, Wolcott
Balestier, says the New York Times.
Salida was a railroad town, in a rough,
transition stage Miss Balestier struck
up a great friendship with the daugh-
ter of Mrs. Emma Holman Thayer.
Mrs. Thayer is known as an artist and
writer, chiefly by her books, "Wild
Flowers of the Rockies and "Wild
Flowers of the Pacific Coast" Her
husband runs the system of eating
houses connected with the Rio Grande
railroad, and they were then living in
Salida. Mrs. Thayer tells how the two
girls, her daughter and Miss Balestier
set out to get an Episcopal service.
They wrote to the bishop of the do
cese, who told them that if they would
provide place for the service to be
held he would send clergyman. The
girls hunted the town over, but the
only suitable vacant room they could
find was back of saloon. They rented
that, wrote the bishop, got out their
notices of meeting the following Sun
day, and set out to get the room ready;
About 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon
Mrs. Thayer went down to the room
to see how they were getting along.
They had got the room all properly ar
ranged, except the cleaning of the floor.
The woman who promised to come and
do that had failed them, and as help
of that kind was difficult to get, thew
could find no one to fill her place. So
they had got pals of hot water and
scrubbing brushes and when discovered
had their skirts pinned up, and were
on their knees scrubbing, the floor. AS
a result of their efforts an Episcopal
church was afterward established in
lsalida, and Mrs. Thayer's daughter
subsequently married the rector, the

The First Motorman,

An English paper says as far back
as 1904 M. Isaac de Rivaz, a. Swiss
engineer, first drove cart by the aid
of motor, the force being gas. The
first experiment took place at Sion,
in the Canton of Grisons, 1904. In
1913 the inventor made another ex-
pertinent at Vevey, on lake Geneva,
with a cart ten feet long and loaded
with 1,400 pounds of stone and sew
eral persons. A large crowd wit
messed the drive down the principal
street, and as the experiment was
successful the inventor took out a
patent, which was granted him by
the French government. The docu-
ment still exists, and proves beyond
doubt that De Rivaz conceived the
idea of motor car nearly century
ago.

Followed Wrong Funeral.

They are telling a good story on a
pair who were to have attended a fu-
neral the past week. The pair got in
to the procession at the rear, and in go
ing down Front street became thirsty,
and stopped at a saloon to get a glass
of beer. They thought that they could
easily catch up with the cortege again,
and so they ordered another glass each.
Finally, they whipped up, and, as they
supposed, soon were plodding on the
tail-end of the procession. Now, it
happened that they were following an
other funeral entirely, and this one
turned into Mount Calvary. When they
discovered their mistake they whipped
up again and hustled for Green Lawn,
but when they arrived the burial was
over. The couple had to explain, and
there is where they made a mistake

Steamship Manned by Women.


The Austrian steamer Fora, from
Alexandretta, a seaport in northern
Syria, which place she left on July
3, with cargo of icorice and gen
eral merchandise, is commanded by
Capt. Calagrovich. The Fora is con.
signed to l.. Ruzelli, and he insisted
that the ship be manned by a crew
of Turkish women.
Said Mr.. Ruzelli: Eyes, the Zora's
crew are all females. Strong and
sturdy, every one is, too. In fact,
there are no better sailors in the
world than the Turkish women of
Alexandretta. They are used to the
sea from infancy No one can handle
a boat better. Anyhow who knows a
Turkish woman from a man? They
all dress alike"
Continuing, he declared that these
Turkish Amazons could not be ex-
celled in seamanship.

Found Rather In Bed,

Miss Julia Lincoln, of Montclair, a
guest at Mountain View Farm, near
marlborough, N. Y, took a nap and
awakened to find a rattlesnake about
two feet from her, .coiled and ready
to strike. His warning rattle had
awakened her.
Miss Lincoln managed to secure an
alpine stock and struck the reptile
heavy blow, which made it show
fight 1t savagely came for her, and
she struck it again, but not hard
enough to render it powerless. The
snake again struck at her, but she
pushed it away and managed to es-
cape from the room. The hired man
later dispatched the reptile.
The window of Miss Lincolns room
faced a sloping roof, against which
rested a number of poles. 1t is be-
lieved that the snake climbed the
poles to the room.

Slept While Leg Was Cut Off.

A negro man, IS years old, was run
over by a Vineville: street car recent
ly. One leg was cut off. He was
drunk, and lay down at the top of
the hill because he could not carry
his jag any further. He was not par
ticular about his resting place, and it
happened that he spread himself out
on the ground where his left leg
would rest across the car track and
the other foot would rest on the rail.
The motorman stopped the car before
it had passed two feet beyond the ne

Bees Swarm in Ship's Mast.

Swarms of bees have been record.
ed in many strange places, but in few
more unlikely than the masthead of
ship. A seaman of the sailing ship
Rhone, recently arrived at Bordeaux
from Dakar, mounted one of the
masts on Tuesday evening, but had
scarcely reached the top when he
was attacked by a swarm of bees
that had somehow established their
"hive" there. and was so severely
stung that he fell into the water,
hurting himself rather badly. Ulti-
mately the mast, which, oddly
enough, was of iron, had to be taken
down, and then a fire was lighted
under the part where the bees had
succeeded in es tablishing themselves
to exterminate them by smoke. j,

Discovered Colonial Coin.


While moving the old De Lancey

found a copper sixpence of Great

it had remained for many years. The
house was built in 1892, and the date
on the coin is 1897, so that it is safe
to assume chat some member of the
De Lancey family lost it, and that it
had. continued undisturbed for at
least century.
The inscription reads, *'Georgius

also appears on the same side. The
sixpence is nearly as large in circum-
ference as the American silver dol

Since the news of the find has gone
abroad the place is being visited by
