The Queer Habit of Secretary Shaw
Nearly Gets Him Into Trouble

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, Sept. 12.-Secretary Shaw does
not know that he was mistaken for a
pickpocket and that he was in grave
danger of being arrested at the Auditor
ium hotel yesterday afternoon. He had
just returned from the west and was
seated at a cigar stand, talking to a
friend, when stranger walked up and
sat down near the two men.
The secretary has a habit of lingering

is talking and he was engaged in that oc-
cupation when the stranger sighted him.
There is absolutely no danger If you will

"Bunco man." muttered the stranger,
and his eyes did not leave the finger on
the watch chain.
'.You see, it will be a lack Of confidence
that will precipitate a panic

faculty to catch the remarks and all the
while he was watching the secretary

There is no danger whatever, abso-
lutely none,'' the secretary continued.

the fingers on the chain. "

ODD MACHINE
Which Is Intended for Measuring
THOUGHTS and Feelings.

Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.
The patent office has granted thirteen
separate patents covering a machine in
vented by Elmer Gates Of this city, for
measuring thoughts and feelings in the
human intellect. He calls 1t diamag
netic separator. The patents are all as
signed to T. J. Mayer of Washington:
The machine is said to register the effect
on the body of varying thought states.
If the subject be girl, and a very pre-
possessing young man passes before her
vision the inception of the love senti-
ment causes rise Of temperature which
is indicated by the steam dial attached
to the apparatus. II the subject be a
woman Of more mature years, engrossed
in the pursuit Of frills and tucks, and the
instrument be applied at the moment she
receives message from the dressmaker
telling her that her appointment has been
postponed and that the foulard will not
be ready until next week, the indicator
Is certain to rush back to '1ow," after
which it will go to high" followed, for
several seconds by jerky pauses at all
the intermediary divisions Of the dial
Thus the same machine can, be used to
indicate the setup feeling Of an editor
when he hits off happy paragraph or OF
a poet who has found a rhyme for rhode
dendron, or of q. thief who has annexed a
purse. All kinds Of feelings will register
Any one In doubt about whether he is
thinking or whether the process Is going
on strongly and with vigor. has only tc
attach the nippers to his bumps and watch
the indicator. If he goes to sleep watch
| ing the machine will show it, and when
he awakes he has only to look at the
clock to be sure that he Is not dream
4 ing.
There is a, feeling in high official and
scientific circles that the diamagnetic sep
arator has come to fill long felt want.
