Prof. Willis l.. Moore. chief OF the
Urited States weather bureau, has in
vented a machine for cooling buildings
in hot weather. 1t promises to be a
great boon to sweltering humanity.
and is not an expensive apparatus.
Z The air enters through a tube or
pipe. which extends from room to
the exterior OF the building and begins
to freeze when It reaches the center
of the cylinder (E). From E to C
the air becomes steadily colder, and
: is coldest when 1t y discharged.
The cylinder is eight teet high and
two and one.half feet in diameter. |.
is capable OF taking and discharEing
200 cubic feet of air a minute. The
air which 1t Discharges is free from
dust and moisture and is at q tenn
perature OF rs to so degrees.
This machine has n capacity of cool
ing about 10000 cubic feet of space
during the hottest weather. 1t is filled
with an ingredient and needs to be
charged only once a day.
The machine will keep the tempera.
tafe at co degrees when the ther.
mometer marks up to loo. The ap-
paratus works automatically. and
operates on the principle of gravity.
The machine has been patented in
this country. No chemicals Gus

MISUNDERSTANDING Device
Will Prevent Accident h

The rubber bulb has its lower walls
thickened and an opening is provided
Tor the insertion of the glass tube.
The interior wall of the opening is
nodded with thread to cooperate
with corresponding thread on the
head of the tube. The upper end of
the tube extends into the bulb to serve
as an abutment or stop to limit the
depression of the bulb. By twisting
the tube to the right or left. while the
bulb is held rigid. the distance be-
tween the abutment and top OF the
bulb may be diminished or increased
accordingly. II definite amount OF
fluid is required the tube Is first prop
erly adjusted, SO that the expansion
OF the end of the bulb after contrac-
ton will induct the right quantity OF
m edicine into the tube, discharging
it as soon as second depression Of
the bulb takes place.
BY adapting the device to be kept
in the bottle containing the medicine
it not only serves as a stopper. but
also keeps the dropper clean and
free from dust and the communicating
air of the sick room. Harris Connor
of Philadelphia Pa. is the inventor.

Like all public men, AIR. August. from

minds of his friends nearly always run

II, his Office at the City Hall MI. August
has a score of ornamental paper-weiShts,
presented him upon various occasions,
,rai,liy upon his birthdays. These pretty
little ornaments cover the tops OF his
0esks and tables. and arc admired by the
visitors that call upon him day by day.

A TALE OF MECKLENBURG,
Corpse That Took Drink All BY Him.
self
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)


BOYDTON, VA, March 1.-That per-
sons have been known to lay in a state
of trance for days, who, to all appear
ance, were dead, is a fact that cannot
be doubted. It is also a fact well es-
tablished that persons have laid in this
state until their shrouds have been made
and placed upon them and all arrange
ncnts made for their burial, after the per-
son was pronounced dead by a physician,
and strangely enough while in this con-
dition, they say, they are conscious of all
that is going on around them, hut are
unable to move or to utter a sound
In this connection, quite an amusing
incident was related to me to-day by
a reliable and trustworthy gentleman
who comes from an adjoining. county,
which he says occurred in his county, the
truth OF which he vouches for. He said
in the good old days before the war there
resided i'll his county several gentlemen
who were great friends, each OF whom
were fond of hunting and were jolly
friends in the chase.
On one occa sion one Of these gentlemen
became violently i'll. and was soon pro-
nounced dead and laid away in the death
chamber. -Four of his old friends and
chums, who never forsooll him, even in
dsath. gathered at his home to pay one
of the last sad offices to their old de-
parted friend-that of sitting up with the
remains.
In those days it was customary to set
out something to drink for the guest who
might be visiting. These OLD compan-
ions of the dead man had taken their
..toddy., and after doing so three of them
concluded to take a walk out in the open
air. leaving the fourth gentleman to keep
watch over the dead.
While the other watchers were out the
lonely sentinel thought he would go into
the room to see if everything was all
right with the the corpse. but to his hor-
ror that which he thought was dead and
illaninate had arisen from his couch, gone
to the table or sdeboard and was pour
ing out himself a drink. Overwhelmed
with fright. my informant says. the
swatchman made mad rush from the
house. leaving his friend to take his
drink alone.
