a Hand Power Buggy.
New Invention That May Com
plete With the Automobile.

A motorless auto,buggy, pro
pelled by means of hand wheels,
may soon he familiar feature of |
street traffic, If the hopes of j.
Il. Blsckburne of Liberty, De.
kalb county, are realized. That
they will be realized Mr.. Black |
burne is confident and the fact
that on Saturday be received from
tie United States patent office
letters patent on his Invention,
have made him very sanguine.
Mr.. Blackburne on Monday ex,
hibited the patent to an Amer ican
reporter, and showed detailed
drawings of the invention, which
he believes is destined to succeed
the automobile as that machine
has succeeded the horsedrawn
vehicle.
Briefly described, the invention
is an ordinary buggy with the e1-
ception that the rear axle and
wheels revolvs together; the axle
is ball bearing. 1t is connected
with a system of gearlngs for
every turn of hand wheel, which
rises from the buggy bottom in
front of the passenger, revolves
the larger rear wheels sixteen
times. From this it can easily
he e 6gured that as one revolution
of a Ofuur.inch wkeel carries
vehiole 4 little over eleven foet,
one turn of the power wheel, turn
ing the rear wheel sixteen times,
will carry the vehicle something
like 1T feet. Thirty revolutions
of the power wheel would there-
fore carry the vehicle mile. Ono
turn of the wheel every four
seconds would mean a speed of
thirty miles an hour, and MIR.
Blackburne asserts that a child
can turn the wheel with ease and
secure as great a speed as grewn
man. In fact, Mr.. Blsckburne
further asserts that one fourth
model Of invention was required
by the patent Office before issuing
a patent, and that his grandson,
twelve year old, operated the
miniature vehicle on the streets of
Washington, creating sensation
by the speed attained.
Colonel Black burne states that
buggles equipped with the inven-
ton san be built and placed On
the market to sell for 800 to
1925 each, and he is confident that
it will act be long until.the streets
of Nashville are crowded with his
invention. He states that the
model he will have ready IN two
weeks will be capable of attaining
q speed of a mile a minute, and
he asserts that as a test he viii

Cured BY Half a Second Sleep.

A well-known man in England had
among his ancestors a number Of men
and women who committed suicide.
He himself became melancholy and
his children, who knew the hereditary
taint, were much worried about i'm.
physician told him that mental fa :
tigue was his trouble and persuaded
him to try an experiment. The. man
was a very busy man and scoffed at
the idea Of taking a nap in the middle
Of the day. He finally agreed to do
the following: He would sit up in
his easy chair every afternoon with
his hands over his knees, holding a
dinner bell in both hands. If he lost
consciousness and went to sleep he
would be, willing to sleep for so long
time as 1t would take for the dinner
bell to fall to the floor and wake him
up.
The doctor who suggested this ar
rangement declared that the real men,
tai relaxation of going to sleep, If only
for a few seconds, would suffice to
save him. He invited his patient to
study activity Of the brain by noticing
while the dinner bell was falling to
the floor.
Every day for several months the
man with suicidal heredity sat down
after luncheon with the dinner bells
in his hands. Every day he went to
sleep and slept for half second while
the bell fell to the floor, and his men,
tai condition improved steadily, partly
because Of the rest which his mind
got by losing consciousness for Sec
ond, and partly because Of his inter-
est in the extraordinary dreams which
passed through his brain while the
bell was falling. These dreams car
ried him all over the world, and
seemed to last indefinitely. A dozen
or more human beings were mixed up
in them. A long succession Of events
which were perfectly clear, passed be-
fore his eyes, gradually interrupted
by a sound from a distance, which at
first would mix up with the dream,
and ultimately would prove to be the
dinner bell striking the floor. The
ordinary person who says he has been
dreaming all night probably does not
realize that he actually dreamed about
second and a half while he was
waking up.-World Magazine.
