Automatically Stops a Train

An engineer of Hanover, Germany
has recently designed an apparatus by
which train can be stopped without
the aid of any of the train employees
and which at the same time notifies
one or more Of the nearest railway sta
tions of the occurrence. 1t consists OF
q contact apparatus which is so placed
between the rails that plate, fastened
to the lowest part of the air brake pipe
under the tender, is touched in passing
over it. In consequence of this a valve
is opened and the train is stopped
through the air brake. The contact ar
rangement is also utilized to close an
electric circuit leading into several of
the signal towers or stations along the
line. to indicate the stopping Of the
train and warn any train which may be
following on the same track.

moves with a grace that seems almost
supernatural.
AT these private rehearsals the wom-
an is introduced by DR.. Won Schrenck.
Then DR.. Magnin, of Paris, places her
under the hypnotic spell with a few
passes in front of her eyes and a little
hard staring Within few minutes she
appears To fall into a soft sleep in an
easy chair.
Then some one begins to play on q
piano in the room and the subject forth
with shows that she has some somnam-
bulistic knowledge of the music. She
rises from the chair slowly, her eyes
wide and staring, and follows every note
with the most graceful and rhythmic
motions with her hands and limbs. A
waltz by Chopin was played, and the
woman followed the voluptuous strains
with the most graceful and sinuous
motions of her hands, arms and body.
While she was deep in this perform
ance the pianist suddenly began to play
a funeral march. mime. Madeleine"
stopped and stalked across the little
stage sadly and solemnly, her face down.
cast and pale as death.
Gounod's impressive cave Maria"
was played next, and the woman's face
lighted up ecstatically. The transforma-
ton seemed instantaneous.
Then chapter was read from a
romance. In it was an interview be-
tween a woman character and man she
loved. Nine. Madeleine followed in
pantomime every emotion brought by
the reading with the most remarkable
accuracy. In her face were clearly de-
picted all the feelings aroused in the
heart of the woman in the romance.
Scientists have taken the deepest in
terest in the performances given by
''Mme Madeleine" but do not venture
to offer any explanation of them. They
agree that stimulation of all the emotions
OF the music is out of the question.
DR.. Won Schrenck and the noted Prof.
Angerer say they are convinced that the
woman is in a hypnotic trance during
the rehearsals.

REAL TRILBY CAUSES GENUINE
SENSATION IN EUROPE.
She Is Mysterious French Woman
Who, When Under the Influence

an who was mystifying artists and

with her weird performances under q

hailed as Trilby in real life. Not that

Several rehearsals were given in pri-

the woman undoubtedly was swayed by
mysterious influence and that it was
not possible for her to simulate all the
emotions she passed through In the

After the rehearsals in Paris nothing
was heard of the woman. and it is be-
lieved that she is the one who is now

SENATOR wARREN's VIEW.

Western members OF congress have
been giving their views upon the tariff
to the president A Warrington dis
patch gives Senator Warren credit for
the following expression: "As to tariff
revision said the senator. In answer
to a question, 81 do not know of a
single man west of the Missouri river
who is in favor Of tinkering with the
tariff. There is a sentiment In favor
Of some legislation on interstate com
merce matters, but none as to the
tariff"
Senator Warren IL in close touch
with the business and political inter.
ests of the west and knows whereof he
speaks. Wyoming In particular is In
favor of doing as little meddling with
the tariff as Is consistent with good
government. This state has some pro-
tected Industries the people OF New
England would like TO get at. They
are of the opinion that there should
be no tarif on wool and also look upon
the hide industry AZ n they should
control in the exclusive interests of
the shoe and leather industry. Free
raw material is their hobby. but the
raw material Of New England is the
finished product of Wyoming.
1t will be recalled that q New Eng
land senator, during the last session,
made an attempt to sound congress
upon the question Of lower duties on
hides. and wool, but was thoroughly
squelched by Warren, who said he
would demand a reduction on many
articles of manufacture made in New
England If Wyoming's products we're
to be i~nterfered with.

As One Of Highest Educational In
stitutions in China.



New York, N. Y, Dec. 16.-It is afor-
midable undertaking to move a col
lege more than a hundred miles, es-
pecially when the moving has to be
done in a country where the modes
CT transportation are far inferior to
those of the United States. But such
a moving was recently accomplished
by the Shantung Christian college,
which is maintained by the Presbyter-
ian board of foreign missions in China,
the institution going from Teng-Chow
to Weihsien. All the college equip
ment had to be packed, first transport.
ed by junks to Hsiaying. and taken
thence by smaller boats to a point
about twenty-five miles from the des-
tination, the remainder of the journey
having to be made on carts. The diff
ficulties of the undertaking may be
realized when it is recalled that many
of the packages, such as those contain
ing the boiler, the engine and the tele-

the Shantung province, which has an
estimated population Of 80, 000, 900. 1t
has had buildings erected for it, includ.
ing a main building, dormitories for
12O students. and an observatory.
The Shantung college ranks as one
of the highest of educational institu'
tons in the department Of sciences
and it's rank is almost equally high in
the Chinese classics. Its president
is Rev. DR.. Paul D. Bergen. The col
lege is the outgrowth of a school es.
tablished in 1864 and has a large mum
Der of graduates, some of them being
Chinese members OF the present facul
ty, and others being engaged in educa-
tional and Christian work in various
parts Of China. To those who express
wonder that a Christian college should
pay Sc much attention to the teachings
of the Chinese classics. President Der
gen answers that in China they take
the place of Greek and Latin, and that
the whole literature and language OF
the Chinese is based upon these an
cient books. No Chinaman who is un'
familiar with them is considered to be
well-educated. President Bergen adds
that the Chinese classics contain
moreover. much that Is true and in
spring and little that is harmful OF
Objectionable. Ehically, he says, they
are superior to the Greek and Latin
classics.
