OF AUTO INTEREST.
Invention by New Haven Man to
 Facilitate Hill Climbing.


 Facilitate Hill Climbing.
 Edward F. Layigne, of 229 Congress avenue, has invented a cog-wheel for use specially on automobiles that will greatly interest those who own oS ever intend to own an auto. ...s- 5 Mir. Lavigne's invention is that of an automatic cog-wheel which reverses it. self.< changing from a high to low gear by a simple attachment to the handle in front of the seat. The gear is called a 'high-low gear" and a per son, by simple movement of the hand, can, upon reaching a hill, change the gear from a high to a low. and when level ground is again reached the high gear is just as easily and simply put in operation.

Remarkable Reasons For DueIs.

Colonel Montgomery was shot in
duel about a dog; Colonel Ramsey in
one about a servant; Mr.. Featherstone
In one about recruit; Sternes father
in one about a goose, and another gen
tleman In one about a bottle of an
chovies. One officer was challenged
for merely asking his opponent to pass
him a goblet; another was compelled
to fight about a pinch of snuff. Gen
eral Barry was challenged by Cap
tain Smith for declining wine at a din
ner on a steamboat, although the gen
eral pleaded as an excuse that wine in
varlably made him sick, and Lieuten-
ant Cowther lost his life in a duel be-
cause he was refused admittance to a
club of pigeon shooters.
In 1777 a duel occurred in New York
between Lieutenant Featherstonehaugh
of the Seventy fifth and Captain Nc
Pherson of the Forty-second British
regiment in regard to the manner of
eating an ear of corn, one contending
that the eating was from the cob and
the other contendng that the grain
should be cut off from the cob before
eating. Lieutenant Featherstonehaugh
lost his right arm, the ball from his an
tagonist's pistol shattering the limb
fearfully so much so that it had to be
amputated. Major Noah lost his life

There is no question that the beagle
is very old breed. Early Roman
accounts of England contain refer
ences to the beagle even by name.
Books published from about 1880 to
1910 describe several varieties of
hounds. including the little beagle,
which may be carried in mans
glove" That the miniature hound
was extremely popular at that time
was evident from Queen Elizabeth
keeping a pack which were also said
to be small enough to put in glove.
This statement is frequently ridiculed
when it is not understood that gloves
of that period were not the present
day kind, but gauntlets reaching nearly
to the elbow. What became of those
glove beagles we may surmiSe from
what we know of the results of later
attempts to maintain packs of beagles
of to 10 inches high, the result after
some years being weak puppies that
fall short of the fine qualities Of the
little hunting dog when they are grown
up.-Country Life in America.

Some years ago a thrifty old cot
tager named Bethia Rummy attended
service every Sunday morning at the
little church of st. Elzelvir, distant
some two miles from her cottage
on a hillside in Derbyshire. AS reg
ular In her provision for temporal
wants as she was in attendance to
spiritual necessities, her custom was
to place piece of bacon in a pot near
the fire to be ready cooked against
her return. Then, with her big prayer
book wrapped in a snowy handker-
chief Bethia trudged on to St Elze-
yirs. One Sunday, however, she came
late and fiustered TO her usual place,
just in front of the reading desk and
to her wears astonishment remarked
as she unfolded the snowy handker-
chief: "Lawk n daisey me, II haven't
billed the prayer book and brought the
bacon to church" London Chronicle
The Somerset reporter., 1902-09-25

The two men with me
knew what they were being paid for
and could be depended upon. The cell
lar Of the cottage gave US room for the
dirt excavated, and 1t seemed as IL
luck was with us from the start. 1t
was winter, with but few people pass
ing on the side street, and the ground
being hard frozen there was less dam
ger of the roof of the tunnel falling In.
One can run ditch on the surface
as straight as a rule, but when you
come to run a tunnel 1t is different
thing. We had sewers and gas and
water pipes and beds of rock to look
for, and the far end must reach Ger.
tain cell inside the jail. To say that
| sweat blood over that job would be
drawing 1t mild. We went over or un-
der the pipes In the street, made q
couple Of elbows to avoid big rocks,
and finally reached the prison wall.
From the wall we were to go under a
coal shed until reaching the prison
wall, and there would be no chance
to take sights above ground. For
tunately for us we struck an old aban-
doned sewer, and this saved us at
least months digging. We followed
1t up to the prison wall and then we
were twenty-five feet from the spot
we wanted to reach.
The Jail had cellar, but under only
two-thirds OF the space. The new wing
rested on a bed of rock and cement.
In the difficult work we had to get
around the pipes we progressed only
by inches. Toward the last of our
work Miss Fay called at the cottage
of night and even crept into the tun-
mel. She made the arrangements for
the future, and l alone was taken into
her confidence.
AT last there came a night when we
began work on the fagstones forming
the floor of Dee's cell. l had got q
note to him, and he knew what we
We're doing. 1t was two nights later
before we broke through and he
dropped down among US. AS we
emerged into the cellar of the cottage
| halted to tell him the story of the
girl, and when l had finished it said:
"You must make choice. You
must either marry the girl and settle
down to an honest life, or l will give
you up to the prison authorities be-
fore you can leave the house
He did not hesitate. He was touched
by her devotion and glad enough of
an opportunity to drop his profession.
In an hour he was at the appointed
place She was there to greet him and
a clergyman was there to marry them
Then they went away into hiding and
it was months later before they crossed
the sea to make a home in a foreign
land. The escape and the tunnel were
discovered, of course, but the cottage
was empty and the late occupants
could not be traced. While | rejoiced
over Dee's good luck, really felt more
solid satisfaction over the success of
my tunnel. The newspapers, on the au-
thority of the city engineer, pronounced
it a splendid piece of work, and added
that the designer must have ability of
no mean order. | had come out to an
inch of the spot aimed at, and l had
taken a prisoner out of one of the
