MOUSE STOPPED TRAIN.
Interfered with Operation of the
Electrical Apparatus Which
Controls Railroad Service.

Did anyone ever imagine that q
mouse could stop railway train?
1t seems to be impossible; neverthe-
less, it was done at the town of Carpi,
near Modena, in Italy.
On the Italian railroads an electrical
apparatus upon the departure of a
train from any station rings six
strokes upon a gong in the next sta
ton.
The station master at Carpi, hear
ing the gong ring three strokes where
there should be six, Immediately came
to the conclusion that something was
wrong on the line, and ordered up
the electric signal Of warning.
The train. which by this time was
under full headWay, came to dead
stop.
Then began a transfer of telegraphic
messages.
The passengers were anxious to
know what was the matter. They
waited while the messages went back
and forth.
The inquiry established the fact that
everything was right on the line, and
the train was ordered forward after
considerable delay.
The station master about this time
thought it might be we'll to look into
his gong, and there he found, stuck
fast between the cogs of the electrical
apparatus, a poor little mouse. The
unhappy little animal had happened to
be in the interior of the clock when
it "struck one," and down he attempt
ed to run, but was caught between the
murderOus wheels.
His little body was big enough to
stop the whole apparatus, and. conse-
quently, the train as we'll.

VALUABLE RAG DOLL.

Almost every little girl in this coun-

in the possession of a rag doll which
Just as mother ducks show the ugly
duckling the most attention, so do
make believe mothers think most of
their plain rag babies.
You would hardly believe it possible,
however, that a full grown man would
care for rag doll, at least care enough
for it to keep it always locked up in a
safe deposit vault with his gold and
most BILE papers. No, it is not a
doll that once belonged TO the mans
little daughter and precious on that ac-
count. There are hundred men who
would like to own it and would give
several hundred dollar for it.
'Whatever makes the thing so val
uable:' you ask, and here is the an
swer: This particular rag doll is a
historic coll. With its eyes of ink it
saw Gen. L. S. Grant draft the terms
for the surrender Of the confederate
army, and the same black eyes saw the
courtly Gen. Lee place his signature to
the papers. All this happened at APP

Virginia surrendered on April Q, 1865.

POWER FROM WATERFALLS.
Government Making Measurements
in AppaIachians.

government Making Measure mentS
in AppaIachians.
Washington, June 22.-The United
States Geological Survey has been
making measurements of the large
number of streams in the Appalachian
Mountain system in the Southern
States, with a view to ascertaining the
possibilities of their use for the gener-
alton of electrical power. The results
of these surveys which will soon be
published in a government document
show that MANY streams now unused
are capable of generating power which
can be used on the banks of the
streams or transmitted over long dis
tances. Director Walcott. in an ad-
vance notice of the official report, says:
The popular idea of an available wa
ter power is a moderate fall on
stream of considerable size, located
within a few yards of a railroad. Like
many popular ideas. it is only partly
correct. The power which can be OBJ
tanned at any power site on a stream
is the product of the weight of the
water passing the site per unit of time
multiplied by the hight of the perpen-
dicular fall obtainable, and for the
same total power these quantities vary
inversely; that is, if the head be dou-
bled the quantity of water may be di-
minished by half and the resultant
power will be the same; if the head be
multiplied by ten, then one-tenth the
quantity of water will yield the power,
and SO. on. in similar ratio.
"Given a sufficient fall, therefore, a
small amount of water may be made
to furnish a very large amount of
power and in point of fact many of
the large power developments of the
Western States are of this type, the
quantity of water used being SMALL
but the head being measured by hum
dreds of feet. The distance between the
points where the power is developed
and where it is to be utilized is annihl-
lated By electrical transmission.
"A large number of streams in that
part of the Southern States in which
the Appalachian mountain system at
tains it's maximum development have
their sources far up on the mountain
slopes, in regions of great rainfall and
of large and permanent run-off, and
these, in their course to the valleys
below, often fall hundreds of feet
within short distances. BY the appli-
cation of proper methods these streams
are capable of furnishing and trans
hitting power in considerable quantity
at comparatively small cost certainly
in many instances at less cost per
unit of power obtained than would be
possible on the large trunk streams,
and without the attendant risks"
