sists of a trap mechanism, adapted
to be sprung by the robber on TAX
ing position on the platform, to grip
him against the tender or handrail
OF the car, and the inventor also sug-
gests further paralyzing treatment
in the form of a powerful electric cur

shown in the floor of the platform pro-
vide the releasing device for spring
ing the trap as soon as the intruder
places his weight on them. About the
same height with the top of the hand
rail, and resting normally against the
end of the car, is a metal plate or
board attached to the outer end of
horizontal piston rod, the latter enter
ing a cylinder and holding a coiled
spring under compression. AS soon
as the tripping plates are depressed
the piston is released and throws the
board forward to bind the robber. 1t
is pretty rough treatment, but prob
ably no more than he deserves and the
result is a captured burglar and pre-

statI.tlo. OF pouble starr.

In his introduction to his fourth list
OF new double stars discovered and
measured with the 36-inch telescope
of the Lick observatory, Prof. Aitken
gives the following statistics of gem
eral interest In his systematic search
for new double stars he has pointed
upon and examined 10000 stars. OF
these $50 had already been catalogued
as double by earlier observers, but
only BOB of them were as close as 5
seconds. In the stars examined Prof
Aitken found 301 other double stars
all unrecorded and all less than 3
seconds in distance. 1t thus appears
that systematic examination of the
whole heavens on this plan would re-
suit in doubling the number of double
stars now known. OF Prof. Athens
discoveries about 10 per cent have dis
tances exceeding 4 seconds, 10 per cent
have distances not exceeding 2 sec
onds, about 43 per cent have distances
not exceeding 1 second, about 81 per
cent have distances not exceeding II
second.

Sioux Falls Divorce Colony
Community Brought Prosperity
the Dakota City.

The Sioux Falls divorce colony is
growing into quite massive proper
tons. 1t is estimated that at the pres
ent time in the neighborhood of 300
females and males, who have attach
ments to them in the shape of hus-
bands and wives, are either in the
city sojourning or are paying for room
rent here, while enjoying the Injuries
of the far East, says the Sioux Falls
Journal. Some of the divorces are
going on the theory that so long as
they pay room rent and claim their
residence as Sioux Falls, they are
exempt from living here during the
seven months necessary to get the
decree of separation from uncongenial
spouse.
There are all grades, kinds, colors
and degrees of divorces here; from
the kind that are compelled to work
for a living in order to make both ends
meet to the aristocratic German count
and prominent citizens of New York,
the latter generally preferring to re-
main in New York to residing here.
Then there is a prominent coach for a
famous football team who is repre-
scented in eastern papers as visiting
occasionally at Sioux Falls to look
after some patients he has there.

THE TROUBLES OF ARmLsss MEN
Three Woes That Cause Them the
Greatest Annoyance.

Three Woes That Cause Them the
Greatest Annoyance.
Three common incidents of every
dsy life worry men without arms more
than many of the graver questions OF
existence. In the first place, the arm
less man seldom finds any one wAo
can put his hat on so that it feels COM
fortable, scarcely no one is able to
adjust his glasses, and, lastly, he ex-
neriences great difficulty in getting his
sboes laced in such a way that his
nerves are not set going.

obout" said one armless man, but

Of my peculiarities with reference to

are simply unbearable.

Pneumatlo Gamma perlos.

The principal cause of the spelling
of fruit canned for winter use is the
action of the air inside, which induces
fermentation of the alcohol in the
juice Of the fruit, ultimately passing
to the final stages of decay. By or
binary methods of canning it is all
most impossible to exhaust this air
entirely, and it is to aid in this work
that the apparatus here shown has
been designed by William E. Freder-
icks of Portland, Ore. The intention
of the inventor is to make the ma
chine exhaust the air from the can
and then seal it automatically with
out allowing return of the air from
the outside. In order to accomplish
this purpose the only change rem
dered necessary in the jar is the in
sertion of a valve in the center Of
the screwtop. The mechanism con-

SAW SEA SERPENT
Captain Arriving Georgia Port Tells Remarkable


A monstrous sea serpent, vicious
and awful looking, was the eight that
brought fright to the crew of the
schooner Samuel B. Hubbard only a
few days ago, says the Atlanta Con-
stitution. This vessel, of which Capt.
Mehaffey is master, has just arrived
in port from New York. Her COM
mander, who is we'll known to all of
the north Atlantic ports, vouches for
the authenticity of the story, and the
facts are corroborated by his first
mate, Mr.. Coverdale. Capt. Mehaffey
says:
."It was on the 23d instant, in north
latitude "a degrees Al minutes, and
west longitude 76 degrees 10 minutes.
The ship was lying becalmed about IL
noon, when the chief mate called my
attention to something in the water
just abeam, a quarter of a mile off.
A long, slim object, moving from side
to side, and coming toward us with
such great rapidity that it looked like
an old thresher at work. 1t very quick

the clear water we saw the queerest
fish out. AS it lay quiet within fifteen
feet of the vessel it appeared to be

save where elephants have cleared

The earliest authenticate records of
Anuradhapura date back to the year
437 B. c., time when Britain was
still unknown to her Roman conquer
ors, when our forefathers, stained
with woad. still practiced the mystic
rites OF Druidical worship. When
England was still sunk in b&rbarism
this fair city of the east was at the
height of its glory, her vast walls sur
rounded an area of $50 square miles,
thousands of priests thronged the
courts of her temples, which rivaled
in magnificence the richness and glory
of the great temple of Solomon. Sol
emn professions, headed by the king
who was surrounded by a suite of
magniflcently equipped courtiers, filed
her streets. Her embassies journeyed
to distant Rome, and her buildings
and statues rivaled those ,uf ancient
Greece in size and beauty of design.

and behind it are largo lotus ponds,
inhabited by sacred crocodiles. The
terraces which lead to the shrine are
covered with frescoes and sculptures
il bas-relief. The natural rock itself
is frescoed in high relief and beau
tiful carving abounds everywhere.
One of the most interesting temples
is called Lola Pasada, the brazen pal
ace. 1t was built by Dutthagamini, a
successor of King Tissa, for a com
munity of Buddhist monks. The six
teen hundred monolithic columns of
granite, on which it rested, are all
that now remain. The college is said
to have contained 1000 dormitories
and to have been 232 feet square. All
the pillars were covered with bur
nished brass and ornamented with
precious stones, the building itself be-
ing nine stories high. In the large
hall stood a royal throne, supported
by pillars of gold, all resting on gold
en- lions and surmounted by an i'm
perial canopy of glistening white. To
this day one can see the marks of the
wedges used in quarrying the granite.

the deadly peril as the freight car and
engine rounded treacherous curves
with speed undiminished, riding on
one track at times, now apparently go
ing over the side into some canyon,
now rearing and threatening to bound
up the hillside at some sharp change
in the roadbed. The serpentine track
was followed with a fierce determine
ton. Just four seconds before Ana
conda would have been reached the
freight car was overtaken. Leaping
through the window and climbing
around to the pilot, Conductor Blondy
made a hazardous coupling at full
speed. The air brakes were applied.
The runaway was brought to stop.
The brakeman remained at his post.
The conductor resumed his engine.
The car was taken back up the hill.
Those who sat in the passenger coaches
at Anaconda probably never knew how
near they were to death. The conduc-
tor and brakeman? Well, they knew
yes, but it was part of their daily
existence. They recognized a duty,
they had the nerve to perform it, they
had the presence of mind and the grit
and the Drawn to make it a sue
cess.
1t was a thrilling incident. 1t should
be handed down to posterity as an
example of what is possible with a
man who is equal to the occasion.

covered with the remains Of palaces,
shrines, temples, vast tanks and in-
tricate irrigation works, all bearing
witness to the greatness and power Of
the earliest Sinhalese monarchy. The
greatest of these tanks, named Kala-
wewa, is a gigantic reservoir of about
5000 acres, twenty feet wide at the
top and sixty feet high.
Anuradhapura is about the center
of the Great North road, which forms
as it were the spine or backbone of
the island, connecting the Jaffna pen
insula with the planting districts, and
is chiefly used by the South Indian
coolies, who can cross from India via
Adams bridge in few hours, and can
their various destinations. One often
meets a gang of some fifty or sixty
of these coolies-men, women and
children-each with a little bundle
containing the household goods and
entire possessions of it's bearer. They
are attracted by the fourpence a day
obtainable in the planting districts of
Ceylon, as compared with the penny,

try.

Measures Cloth or Paper.

Aside from the waste of time in
CURED in measuring cloth or paper
with yardstick or other small meas
ure there is danger of losing count,
mourning a loss of material if the
goods are being measured for sale or
inconvenience if the work is being laid
out for use. John H. Nieman of Pc
tersburg, Neb., has recently designed
simple machine for performing this
work automatically without the loss of
time or material.
AS shown in the illustration, there
is an indicating and recording dial
carried by q circular casing with q re-
volving sha mounted in sleeve over
the dial. This shaft has a worm gear
and the revolving disk has correspond
ing teeth around its edge. The ma
chine is shown mounted at the end of
counter or table, the two screw
plates allowing it to swing freely
downward until the wheel on the end
OF the shaft strikes against the edge
OF the support. The wheel is provided
with a rubber tire and its FRACTIONAL
contact with the material to be meas
ured is further strengthened by the
weight of the machine.
To put the measurer in operation
the goods to be measured are inserted
beneath the wheel and drawn across
the counter as rapidly as may be de
sired, the revolution of the wheel
turning the dial and recording the
length of the piece. The dial is held
on the toothed disk by central screw
which can be loosened slightly to
swing the zero around to the revolv-
ing finger or pointer on the disk, thus
permitting the counter to start at the

there are some that certainly need to
be Gagged. 1t would undoubtedly be a
disagreeable experience for them if
they should be riding out in the coun-
try and meet some farmer lad who was
out hunting, The farmer lad would be
justified in thinking he saw some new
species of something and took a shot
at it. Then there are the Divorces,
nearly all of whom are good-looking.
Some are quiet and demure sort of in
dividuals, and have their brothers CD
with them, while there are others who
are trying to turn the heads of some
of the travelling men and gay members
Of this city, who are apparently sue
ceeding in pretty good shape
The divorce colony as a whole is a
pretty good thing for the merchants of
this city. They are all money spend
ers, and those who have the coin want
the best going. They are naturally a
restless lot, having nothing in particu-
lar with which to interest themselves
during their sojourn here, and are
naturally ready to do anything that
will pass the time which accounts for
some of them getting regulations for
giddiness.
