In the state of Mississippi the Dem

the nominations, which include the
United States senator, the governor and
State officers. down to constable \ In
Mississippi every candidate stands on
his own merit and through the primary
election system the Democrats of that
state know to whom they give their sup
port. In Louisiana the machine will
surrender no power to the people but
propose to dominate through the acut

jority of the Democrats in Louisiana who
vote are opposed to the convention and
favor the nomination by primary cleo
tons. Why not?

structing the grand jury said Brea
shitt county was full of crime and has
had few convictions. He said:
y have never believed that Aomi-
sides should be tried by a jury from
the vicinity of the crime, but it IS the
cav and that must be followed.
There has been but one hanging in
the history of Breathitt county out of
ahe many trials for murder. There are
some cases in this court that l will
not risk with a Breathitt county jury
but will go outside for jurors
Judge Redwine undoubtedly referred
20 the Jett and White cases. He made
a strong plea for the jury to stop the
selling of whisky and carrying of
concealed weapons, as we'll as greater
crimes.
There is enough crime in this coun-
ty to hold court the year around and
theu not convict all amenable to the
law.
A great commotion was created in
the court room by the accidental dis

tops We're just beginning to be used.
The small-compact range or cooking
stove seen to-day in every kitchen was
unknown There is probably not one
person in ten thousand who could say.
If asked, who invented the cooking
range. His name was Josiah Reed, and
he died only four or five years ago at
the age of 81. His great invention,
which revolutionized domestic life,
brought him neither fame nor fortune.
Thomas Fitzpatrick died about year
ago. He worked a reform in modern
city life second to none among the
inventions of the past half century. He
was the builder of the first modern
flats 1t was about thirty-five years
ago that the idea came to Fitzpatrick,
who was a builder by trade, of erect
ing an edifice, each separate floor of
which should constitute a separate
dwelling. The idea caught on at once,
and now there are large areas in most
great modern cities where fifty to sew
enty-five per cent. of the inhabitants
are fiat jewellers.
We who are town dwellers ride in
trans every day of our lives, and II we
are asked what is the origin of the
word we usually attribute it to Ben
jamin Outram, the Derbyshire man,
who first invented the flange for keep
ing the wheel on the rail. This is
quite a mistaken idea. Tram" Is the
old Swedish word for wooden sledge.
and we owe the successful modern
tram almost entirely to John Warren,
a Manchester man.
Before his time George Francis Train,
an American, had laid tram lines in
London. But these were built with
high rails like those used on railways,
and constituted such a desperate dan
ger to traffic that the vestries had them
all torn up. Mr.. Warren devised the
flush-rail system. built the first tram
to run upon it with his own hands, and
within fourteen months from the time
he commenced operations had 900 peo-
pie at work making the trans and an
other 1900 running them and looking
after his horses, of which he owned A.
O00 He made a fortune out of his
enterprise, and so did another almost
unknown inventor, Robert Scrope.
To Mr.. Scrope we owe the invention
of the brown boot, or, at any rate, It's
first practical adoption. Within twelve
months of commencing the manufac-
ture Mr.. Scrope had twenty branches
at work, employing some thousands of
men.

SOME OF THE WORLDS
FORGOTTEN GENUISES

more startling instance of ingratitude
and forgetfulness than the history of
Henry Cort. He expended the whole
of his private fortune of 100000 in per-
fecttng his inventions for pudding iron
and rolling it into bars and plates.
Then he was robbed of the fruits of
his toll by the villainy of certain gov
eminent officials, and in the end left to
starVe. This was in 1884 Since that
date Cort's inventions have conferred
upon this country an amount of wealth
equivalent to seven hundred millions
of pounds. and given constant employ
ment to about 100000 workmen for the
past four generations.
When the first British railway was
built from Stockton to Darlington, the
trains were signaled at night by a
candle burning in the station window.
Without the modern system of sema-
phore signaling the express service of
railway communication which we en-
JOY to-day would be an impoSsibility.
Yet the very name of the inventor of
the method of working semaphores
from distance has been forgotten.
I 1t is said that this idea originated in
the contrivance of a porter on a Lon
don and Northwestern.
Having two signals at some distance
apart under his charge, he conceived
the happy notion of counter-weighing
the handle of one and attaching to it
clothes line so that he could work it
from the other. An inspector saw the
ingenious device and elaborated it,
with the result that signal cabins were
established all over the country.
The name Of Macintosh is commem-
grated forever in the waterproof gar
ments witch have. in the country at
least, almost superseded the umbrella.
Yet an article in ther"Annals of Phff-
osophy. dated 1918, proves that it is
another man we ought to thank in
stead of Macintosh, for the blessing of
the waterproof. In the yarticle referred
to Prof. Syme announces his discovery
of the powers of henzine to dissolve
india rubber, and tells how he rem

In ITO Capt. Planta, a Swiss officer
of engineers, after years of patient ex-

naked, so they took him into the house.
In twenty minutes his head was press
ing against the ceiling, and it was
thought best to take him out into the
yard.
They had a tough time getting him
out through the door, and several
boards had to be knocked off to make
room for him.
They covered as much of him as they
could, and even sent down town and
borrowed a circus tent. This they put
up over him out on the lawn, and In
ten minutes he could reach up and
touch the top with his hand, and was
still growing taller and wider.
The hook and ladder company was
sent for and came down the street with
rush. A long ladder was put up to
boys shoulder and a doctor climbed
up to ask him If he were feeling well.
Never felt better in my life" he an
swered with a broad grin, but I'm get
ting pretty hungry"
The doctor almost fell in his eager
ness to get down again, and In a short
time wagon loads of food began to ar
rive, having been telephoned for. AS
each wagon arrived it was driven under
the boys legs and he would reach
down, take every particle of food and
yell for more.
Had he been small when he yelled
there would have been no cause for
alarm. But he was very, very large.
and when he yelled his voice sounded
like fifty or sixty immense cannons
all in one. Most of the people had to
go a few miles for fear their ear
drums would burst.
After nearly every bit of food in the
town had been eaten, the monster boy
was so tall he could not stand straight
and he filed more than half the tent.
More long ladders were brought into
use and a great hole was cut in the
roof OF the tent.
Through this Zeke stuck his head
and breathed big breaths of fresh air.
When the air came out of his lungs
it hit four circus men who had climb
ed up and were peeping at him. The
blow was so sudden it blew them off
the tent and they struck the ground
with four dull thuds.
And still he grew.
The news had Travelled quickly and
the railroads were running special
trains to the town, every train loaded
with people curious to see the boy
who had changed suddenly from a
mite 10 a real giant.
In two hours from the time Zeke
had started to grow he was so tall the
tent stuck to his shoulders and he had
AtAttA A. VIZ Tic 6lOullds
Then Zeke said in an awful voice:
We'll, I'll be jiggered," and the air
from his mouth blew down a barn and
two small houses across the street.
A fireman climbed up a ladder and
told him he must not talk.
"All right, / won't" replied the boy,
and this time seven more houses top
pied over In ruins.
The wise doctors put their heads to-
gether and began 10 figure. As near as
they could make out Zeke would, by
morning, be 50 big there would be no
place for him TO stand, and there
wouldn't be enough cloth IN the coun-
try 10 keep him half covered.
While they were wrinkling their
br0ws ana puzzling their brains. Tom
htnnger crawled under Zeke's legs and
settled ail the trouble.
