 It is reported that the Iron Noun tain railroad will soon begin sending part of their through freight trains southward from St. Louis over the Belmont line to Delta, thence over the Cotton Belt line to Dexter, and thence south by Poplar Bluff. This will avoid the highest grades at Tiptop and Gad's Hill. A still greater saving of haul will be made when the Thebes bridge is completed. It will be utterly inn possible for these trains to whiz by Poplar Bluff as they would flag sta tions, so it will be part of division whether the division moves or not. Poplar Bluff Citizen.

The Newport guage registered 25 feet even, We'd nesday morning, or within one foot of the danger line, which is 4 of a foot higher than any rise the past year and half. The cold weather seems to be holding the streams in check all right and as the temperature began falling again "Wednesday morning, the dan ger of a serious overflow is now hardly probable The fact that White River at Batesville is already falling does not assure lower water at Newport, as the continued rise in Black may more than offset this,

Experience of Drowning.

We have not for considerable time
read anything more dramatic and life
like than the paper read by DR.. Low
son on this topic. Death by drowning
has usually been described as pain
less and even pleasant one, but DR..
Lowson is able to contradict this. In
the early stage the most striking thing
was intense, intolerable pain in the
chest. ut seemed as if one were in q
wise which was gradually being screw
ed up tight until 1t felt as If the ster-
mum and spinal column must break"
At this point the author had time to re-
fleet on how far wrong his old teacher,
Sir Henry Littlejohn, had been when
describing death by drowning as being
ms pleasant as failing about In beauti-
full green fields in summer" Gradual
ly, however, after several abortive,
gulping efforts to inspire, as the car
bonic acid in the blood began to in
crease, the pain began to lessen, and
the mental condition became that of
one in a pleasant dream, and, like a
vivid dream, the author still retains
memory of the clearness with which
his view of the native hills at home"
flashed across his mind. Before con-
seriousness disappeared the sensations
were positively pleasant Or. Lowson
does not think that while consciousness
lasts 1t is possible for any water to en-
ter the trachea or lungs. though good
deal is swallowed. - London Medical

How the Biogfnph IL MADE to show
Seemingly impossible Things.
The biograph, having depicted most
things in the world Of fact, has now
found new realms to conquer in fiction.
1t has become jusgler. or, as 1t
might prefer TO call itself. an 'fllusion-
ist," and the uncanny feats It performs
will soon put its more human competi.
tors to shame.
1t commenced It's performances BY
showing on the white screen two men
seated at a small table. They seem to
be carrying on an excited conversation,
but after some discussion agree to
make a wager on the cause Of the dis
pute. Then each takes from his waist
coat pocket a tiny doll dressed like
boxer ready for a championship match.
The dolls nre placed on the table, i'm
mediately come to life" and commence
sparring in the most scientific manner.
The two Gullivers applaud the lillipu-
tlan pugilists as they fight vigorously
in a space that might be covered with
a dinner plate, and when at last five
grain glove inflicts the knockout
blow on n head that is smaller than an
early green pea the conqueror and the
conquered are picked up and ignomini-
ously replaced in the waistcoat pockets
of their owners.
This clever effect, the manager of
the biograph company explained, Is OBJ
tanned by superimposing two films
which are exposed separately. First
the two men seated at the table act
their part of the performance in front
of the camera, and then another bio
graph photograph Is taken Of boxing
match, and the two rolls Of films are
then skillfully placed together. The
difference in the size OF the boxers and
the onlookers is accounted for by the
fact that the latter arc placed much
nearer to the camera than the former.
But even more startling illusions
than this can be produced. For in
stance, the biograph throws upon the
screen a picture Of headless man
standing by huge egg. from which
one might expect a healthy young
rooster to emerge. The decapitated
man cracks the egg with a mallet and
discloses his missing head inside.
The face smiles recognition and al
lows the hands to take a few hundred
ordinary sized eggs from Its mouth,
for no particular reason except to
show that 1t is capable Of further mira
cles. Then 1t looks longingly toward
the neck and shoulders from which it
has been exiled and is finally lifted into
its place. The complete man then bows
TO the audience and disappears. 1t
spoils good illusion to describe too
fully its inner mysteries. but 1t may
be limited that this effect Is obtained
by the judicious use of black velvet
curtains. Black velvet, in fact, Is the
material from which the modern bio
graph magician shapes his Invisible
cloak" and the garment is quite as ef-
fective as the one the prince in An
dersen's fairy tale wore when he set
out to discove. the wicked doing Of the
witch.-London Mail.
