A curious railway accident is report
ed from India by Cosmos. About one
and a quarter miles from Rampore "a
train composed of an engine. thirteen
passenger cars and three other cars,
was seized and overturned by a tor
nado. The phenomenon was absolutely
local, since nothing was noticed at the
station just left by the train, and ex-
cept for the upsetting of a few native
huts, there appears to have been no
other damage done. The number of the
wounded is not exactly known, for the
Hindu passengers fed panic-stricken in

and fifteen wounded are known. Some
of the cars were turned end for end,

The ancients did not have lightning
rods constructed as ours are, but they
had lightning conductors, which shows
that they knew how to protect them
selves from the danger that lies in a
thunder storm. Even so long ago as
the tenth century lightning was di-
yerted from fields by planting in them
long sticks or poles, on top of which
were lance heads. 1t is said that the
Celtic soldiers used to try to make
themselves safe from the stroke during
a storm by lying on the ground with
their naked swords planted point up

PATENTS FLYING MACHINE.
South Dakotan Employs Balloon Supporting Frame Driven
 by Motor Power.

Isaac l. Morris, of Melletto, s. D., has been granted patent for flying ma chine. It is his own invention. It is alleged that the machine flies and is controlled with ease. The inventor had trouble to satisfy the examiners that the invention would work. In his appli- cation MT. Morris says:
 "A balloon-supported frame Is em- ployed, provided with a motive power, including means for lifting and means for driving. It also carries a steering device and wheels to support the struc- ture when on the ground.
 Another purpose is to provide a novel form of rotary wings used in con- nection with fixed canopy wings of like construction, all the wings being provid- ed with automatically operating valves, the valves of the rotary wings opening at the upper strokes and closing at their downward strokes, while the valves of the fixed canopy wings operate stimuli taneously with the rotary wings, but reversely, the valves of the canopy wings are closed with their downward and lifting motion and closing when the side wings are on their up stroke to maintain an elevation acquired by the side wings during their downward stroke"

I TYRONE OF BULGAR|E z,
Behind It Moves the Firm, AbN
 Hand of the Kings Mother.
Remarkable Traits of Character o { Princess C1ementIne of Saxe-CO- \ burg, Whose Efforts Placed
 Prince Ferdinand on Throne.

In some ways the present ruler oi IBulgaria is the most interesting of the royal personages engaged in playing 6 role in the near east. He has to be reck' Ioned with, not only because he is an as ltute and interruptions man, but also be, cause he is imbued by ties of blood tc the whole Saxe-Coburg clan; that is tc the royal families of Great Britain, Ger many, Portugal, Belgium, and last, moi least, Austria, his sister being Arch duchess Clotilde, wife of the palatine oi Hungary, and his niece, the duchess oi Orleans.
 Prince Ferdinand is the youngest oi five children who were born to the late Prince Augustus. of Saxe-Coburg, of the Austrian or Kohary branch, and Princess Clementine of Orleans, the de, termined, brilliant daughter of Louis Philippe, whose brothers nicknamed her even as girl, Clementine de Medicis To this remarkable old French princess. now 85 years of age and the last sur vivor among the group of princes and lprincesses who called Queen Victoria by her Christian name, Prince Ferdi- hand owes his unstable throne. He is her Benjamin, born seven years after her eldest child, her favorite, and, in Ia diplomatic sense, her own creation. Cautiously enough, Prince Ferdinand was the only one of Princess Clemen- tines children who was born in Vii enna. French influences were lacking in his education and upbringing. His god parents were the tragic couple on whom in 1861 all seemed to smile, Maximilian and Charlotte; and he was just seven years old when his imperial godfather was assassinated in Mexico.
 In 1881, Prince Augustus, a favorite cousin, by the way, of both Queen Vic- toria and Prince Albert, died prema- turely, and Ferdinand passed entirely

under his mothers influence. As young man, he bore, it must be admit ted, the worst of regulations. He was said to be idle, vicious, and what the French eloquently style un fruit sec, "a withered fruit" Princess Clementine's pride in her youngest born was thought, even by her nearest relatives, to be a sign of maternal infatuation, and the late Connte de Paris refused with indig- nation the idea of a marriage between one of his daughters and their cousin Ferdinand. Great, therefore, was the general amazement when the Bulgarian national assembly elected this little known and even less respected prince as ruler of Bulgaria; but only the princess mother knew what the cost in brains, and what was more important to an Or leans, in hard cash, came to before the triumphant election was secured.
 During the six years that followed Princess Clementine reigned in Sofia, adapting herself with astonishing ease to the strange, hah-barbarous way of life which obtained in the Bulgarian capital. Her constant preoccupation in those days-as indeed it has again been recently-was to find a suitable bride for her son. At last, repulsed on every hand, for neither the man nor his po- sition inspired confidence, she secured him a consOrt in the eldest child of that duke of Parma whose family of Is chill dren are the wonder of continental roy al cir0Ses.

It is difficult to say how Prince Ferdi- nand is regarded in Bulgaria. The astute, noiseless fashion in which he contrived to rid himself of StambuIoff, while apparently in no sense to blame, inspired fear and re- spect in many who had hitherto only iprofessed to hate and despise him.

KISSING CHILDREN,
Something Parents Should Dfscoun- tenance Even Among Their
 Most Intimate Friends

The published statement of the cele- brated scientist, Dr. Fere, on the homeopathic dangers which may lie in kiss has created wide and deep inter est. Dr. Fere observes that some chil- dren manifest a strong, even violent, objection to being kissed by certain people whQm they otherwise love and revere, says Paris report
 He mentions the case of a young wo- man who loves and adores her mother. yet from childhood resented being kissed by her, and this feeling has only grown stronger with the years, the lady in question being now 34 years of age. There are other cases where a kiss forced upon resenting children has had terrible results, terminating in life long illness or serious mental disturb ances.
 Tn the light of these observations Dr.. Fere says parents should cease com polling their children to kiss or to re- ceive kisses where they show an earn est, not merely whimsical, objection.
 For instance, a girl of 12 years, who always objects to kisses, was one day suddenly taken up by relative and kissed, The girl turned white as chalk, shrieked loudly, fell back in a swoon, then was shaken by terrible convul- sions and again swooned for about half an hour These attacks returned every fortnight. They have now disappeared but the girl is still subject to frequent sWooning.

The idea has just begun to. percolate through the hair of the republicans that there is going to be an investlga- +ion hv congress of the nastiness in the postof1ce department, or at least it will be up to them to refuse to nave one, says one writer. The democrats are determined to press the matter and the responsible party for the re- fusal will be the republicans. Ii they refuse all will know the reason why. If they do not, then there will be an attempt to whitewash somebody and something, but the democratic mem" bers of the committee will come out with some powerful good campaign material. The republican party is be- tween the devil and the deep sea.
