Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

Perhaps it is just as well at times not to say what you think, but am great believer in saying exactly what I think, whenever I please. What l am getting at is that some real estate man was quoted the other day as say ing, in the Morning Republican, that on the election depended whether sev- eral big real estate deals would go through or not. This is all poppy cock. The fact that Mir James Lynch being mayor is certainly not going to tie up MT Blanks money in a savings bank at four per cent, while if he in- vested in read estate he would get a return of ten per cent. MT Lynch's being mayor is not going to be the sig nal for bloodshed, riot and disorder. Bfr Elton being mayor is not going to be the signal for factory bosses going around among the employees and hand ing them ten dollar bills. However, this has nothing to do with real es- tate, nor did I intend that it should.

 By the combined use of ntravenous infusions of adrenalin, artificial respira- ton and rhythmic pressure upon the thorax over the heart, animals dead as long as fifteen minutes were restored to life. Animals decapitated were made to live ten and a half hours"
 Many doctors of Cleveland are inclined to consider the experiments which have been carried on by Dr. George w. Grille in the use of adrenalin successful.

COLORADO FIGHT
 TO BE BITTER ONE
REPUBLICANS ARE UNABLE TO UNsEAT 17 DEMOCRATS AS WAL corr DESIRES, AND IF THEY DO DEADLOCK IS CERTAIN.

Denver Colo, January 1S.-Interest in the senatorial fight in Colorado centcrs in the report of the house elections com mittee. which has been Investigating the contests filed against the seating of seventeen democratic members of the house. The matter was in the hands of the elections committee for several days, and while positive evidence has been brought that frauds were committed in several precincts of Arapahoe county. the large majorities received by the demo- crats, ranging from 2oO0 to 5000, it is be- lieved, will be hard to overcome in every instance. The report will be made to the house tomorrow.
 Chairman Breckinridge, republican chosen by agreement with the anti-Wol- colt members and the democrats, in an interview stated that he believed there would be two reports, a majority report by the republicans, who control the com mittee, and one by the minority members. He said he thought that both sides would stand together, but he did not want the inference drawn that the entire seventeen democrats would be busted. It Is the general opinion that those democrats whose majorities reached close to the maximum given above will be allowed to retain their seats, but that the others will be thrown out. It also Is believed that the unseating of the entire seventeen, which the Wolcottites demand, will give them the balance of power in the house. But should this be done, and the threat of the democrats, who control the senate, to unseat every republican senator. be carried out, the result would likely be deadlock for the senate. then unanimous ly democratic. would refuse to enter a joint session. So that whatever the report of the committee may be. there will be sufficient opposition to make tomorrows session an interesting one.
 On Tuesday the legislature meets in joint session to ballot for a successor to Senator Teller. The equal division of the republicans for and against Senator Vol colt remain intact, with no apparent hope of change between now and Tuesday.

TO MEASURE MENTAL FATIGUE
PrussIan Will Send Instrument to Tell
 How Tired You Are.

Berlin, January 1S-Among the curious exhibits that the Prussian ministry of public instruction will include in its ed- ucational display at the St. Louis ex- position is an apparatus for measuring mental fatigue, which is widely employed It is called an aesthesiometer and meas ures the sensitiveness of the skin. which corresponds directly to the brain fatigue the sensitiveness diminishing as the mind wearies.
 Dr. Schrader, professor at the Kaiser Wilhelm gymnasium at Hanover, has per- fected an instrument that measures the time elapsing In the reaction or the sen- sorium, after mental exertion. The prin- cipal upon which it Is based Is that mental work produces fatigue of the nerve centers. The measurement of fatigue dur ing classroom work generally shows that history makes but a slight call on the mental power. Geometry and Latin are far more exhausting. During the study of Latin the nerve power is reduced one- quarter and memory appears to suffer greatly.

When off the Rock of Gibraltar, before day light, the Lahn unexpectedly strand ed on a sand bank"
 The heavy easterly weather which pre- vailed this morning shifted to the west ward this afternoon, and the sea is now calm.
 The tugs continued their fruitless ef- forts to pull off the Lahn all day. The Energetic and Hartford left for the scene of the wreck this afternoon. The Her cules returned tonight to procure labor CTS and lighters to commence the work of discharging the cargo immediately.
 All the passengers are still on board the vessel. They are quite safe, provided the wind holds in the west. Another attempt to float the Lahn will be made with the morning tide. Should the wind shift to the east, the steamers position would be critical. The Gibraltar life boat ship, to be prepared for an emergency. has had boats at the Lahn all day.
 New York, January 18.-The Lahn left Genoa on January IA and was due here on January 26. She is one of the steamers plying on the southern route of the North German-Lloyd line and runs between Genoa and New York.
