To Prevent Runaway Accidents.

The world henceforth will be saved
all runaway-horse accidents if the
dreams of Saco inventor are realized
In company with New Brunswick
man he has invented device which
promises to revomtioniZe the harness
ing and embarrassing of horses. 1t is
plate of ingenious arrangement de
signed to be fastened upon both sides
of the saddle which locks the entire
harness, shafts and breeding in place,
replacing shaft, Jugs and breeching
hooks but making no disarrangement
in the ordinary harness. By the pull
of a string the whole thing is released
so that the horse goes free from the
shafts. This latter result is claimed to
insure safety in case of a runaway. as
the whole harness can be released from
the wagon seat. The United States
patent was granted January !. The
Canadian patent was granted last May.

Daniel N. Harris, former resident of
Willinmsport, Tenn, who had pre-
ceeded him west, telling him of the
great resources and agricultural ad-
vantages of the then new state OF Iowa.

the Josephs of my destiny in the persons

opened their big hearts, telling me to
stop and share the blessings of which
we are possessed" Often thereafter

Kind Providence that had followed his
parents through life, had directed his
course to this, his home of adoption,
where after many years of sojourn, he
peacefully and quietly passed away

lily and friends.

VIRTUES OF LIGHT LUNCHES
American Acuteness Due In Part to
the Midday Rcpasts.

american Acuteness Due In Fart TO
the Midday Repasts.
A great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound n.y.
giene when they denounce the "quick
lunch" of the American business world
as the sum of all gastronomis iniqui-
ties. But in so far as the quick lunch
is light lunch, and it usually is this,
1t may be blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness and business energy
of Americans to the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even If
hurriedly, and drinks but little at the
midday meal; hence his mind is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do
good deal between o'clock and 8.
As a contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits of certain European countries,
notably Germany, and to that he at
tributes the lethargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts Of the best minds
to counteract. In this he is in har-
mony with an American specialist,
who in decrying heavy midday meal
said that "the plan of eating a heavy
meal at noon and returning to work
almost directly from the dinner table
explains the prevalence of dyspepsia
in countries not enjoying the long aft
ernoon recess Of the tropics" Since
the light lunch and the quick lunch do
not fit in with this criticism those who
have blamed our national dyspepsia
on the BUSY mans bite" had better
look little further into the matter.
Perhaps we do eat too much, as GER
tain diatetic specialists tell us, but 1t
looks as IL we were slowly approximate
ing, the country over, to an ideal dietet-
&c system, for Americans, which makes
the lunch the slightest meal and the
evening meal the most substantial
meal Of the day, whatever 1t may be
called. And If the quick lunch of the
business world has had any effect In
this direction 1t is not the unmixed evil
some declare 1t to be.-Philadelphia

THE FIRST AUTOMOBILE.


SHRINE OF bacchus.
Few, perhaps, are aware that the
first automobile, considered in the sense
of a vehicle containing within itself
powers Of iocomotion, of which there
Is any authentic account was a self
moving shrine of Bacchus.
This was the invention of Heron of
Alexandria, who describes It in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine In question was mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels.
On the axle Of the driving wheels was
a drum, about which was wound q
rope, which passed upward through
the space on one side of the shrine over
pulleys and was fastened to the ring of
q ponderous lead weight, which rested
upon a quantity Of dry, fine sand. The
escape Of this sand through a small
hole In the middle of the floor of the
compartment containing 1t allowed the
lead weight gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in a
straight line
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and proportioning the wheels
In case 1t was desired that the shrine
move in circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed to
move in a straight line at right angles
to each other.
Officials Of the patent Office overlook
ed the device of Heron when they
granted patents on slot machines, not
withstanding that previously Thomas
Eubank, commissioner of patents in
1850, illustrated and described Heron's
invention. The mechanism of the lat
ter is almost identical with that in the
modern device and simply serves as an
other proof Of the saying, There is
nothing new under the sun."-Wash-
ington Times.
