necessity of the bridge or screen which
in an ordinary stereoscope is necessary
to prevent each eye from seeing both
views. This is unnecessary, because
the image of the other view of the card
falls outside Of the field OF vision Of the
one eye. There is no advantage to be
maintained for this form OF the stereo-
scope; indeed, it has disadvantage,
which in certain cases is slight and in
others more serious, of presenting
mirror reversal of the views. The views
likewise appear somewhat small, though
it would be easy to introduce lenses to
magnify them.
Prof. Jastrow adds that the practical
preparation of pair of mirrors at this
angle is not an easy matter, if one is de-
sirous of eliminating the seam CT line
at their point of junction, the presence
of which to some extent mars the per-

PARROT ON STEAMER
GIVES AWAY ROMANCE
His Endearing Cries Cause Bushes
Among Passengers and Furnish
Food for Thought.

New York.-A big green parrot was
second-class passenger on the steamer
st. Paul when it arrived here the other
day. ALI the way over the parrot
amused the storm-tossed passengers by
crying most agreeably: Hello, major!
How are you, major! Glad to see you,
major!" Sometimes the parrot became
more affectionate and exclaimed, invit-
ingly: Kiss me, major!''
The parrot belongs to Miss Margaret
Harold, an attractive young English
woman, who smiled when the bird said:
Hello, major" and frowned modestly
when the parrot said: Kiss me, major"
So the second cabin whispered that Miss
Harold was crossing to keep her promise
to marry a certain major, formerly of
his majesty's army, now engaged in
peaceful pursuits in this land Of the
free But what the majors name was,
neither Miss Harold nor the green par
rot would tell.
Sure enough, the major met Miss
Harold at the pier. Hello, major!"
yelled the parrot. joyously. But after
a few minutes talk with the major.

AUTOMATIC FIRE ALARM.
Description of the Autopyrophon, the
Invention Of q Danish
Scientist.

The "Autopyrophon" is the name OF
n new automatic fire alarm, which has
been patented by Danish scientist in
Germany. 1t consists OF a small glass
tube bent in the shape OF a capital U.
This tube, the ends OF which are closed,
rs half filled with mercury, the other
half containing highly volatile liquid,
like sulphuric ether. One of the upper
parts of the glass tube is surrounded
by cover of some Notwithstanding
material, so that sudden rise of tenn
perature affects only the other or free
part of the glass tube. In case the
temperature rises evenly the whole ap-
paratus is affected. and no warning
signal is given. If, however, the tenn
sperature in the room is suddenly raised
AS by the outbreak Of fire, the ether
above the mercury in the glass tube
which is, unprotected, evaporates and
the pressure of generated vapors
causes the mercury to sink in the tube
while it rises in the opposite part Both
fparts of the tube are fitted with an
selectric wire melted into the glass, so
that when the mercury stands equally
high in both tubes, the electric cur
rent passes through and remains silent,
but If movement of the mercury
takes place because of a sudden rise of
temperature. the electric circuit is i'm
peded and electric alarms are set in
motion. At demonstration, small
heap OF shavingS was set on fire in the
corner of an ordinary room, the alarm
being given in eight seconds. In this
lease the apparatus was fixed near the
ceiling at the end of the room opposite
that where the shavings were burning.

.CONFESS[s CRIME
TO SAVE, LOVER
IOWA CASE WITHOUT PARAL-
LEI IN PRISON ANNALS.
SENT BACK TO THE PEN.
Released on Parole, But Found Want
ing and Must Now Serve the Re
mainder Of Her First Sen
tence at Anamosa.

Des Moines, lathe revocation Of
Delilah Fails parole by Gov Cummins
and her return to the Anamosa peniteI-
tiary adds another chapter to criminal
career of a pretty young girl whose story
is without parallel in the criminal an
nails of this state. Fer exactly three
months Delilah Fails enjoyed freedom;
then, on the anniversary of the day when
first she entered her prison cell to begin
serving 20-year sentence for murder,
she returned to serve out the II years
for which she had been forgiven by the
former act of the governor For Delilah
was found wanting within a short time
after freedom had come to her.
1t was largely through the efforts Of
leading family of Cedar Rapids, Capt.
and Mrs. Charles Putnam, that she was
paroled. They believed they could make
something out of the pretty 24-year-cld
nurderess, and so took her into their
own home. One night, a few weeks
later, they went away and when they
returned found Delilah Fails bound and
gagged in the bathroom, while the house
was ransacked from attic to cellar and
despolled OF hundreds Of dollars worth
of vaiuables. Loosed, the girl told of
burglar who had entered and. securing
her, had robbed the house. Immediate
ly her lover, who had been with her in
prison, was suspected. To save him the
girl confessed she had robbed the place
and then bound and gagged herself to
divert suspicion. Twenty-four hours
later she was back in prison to serve
out the remainder of the 20-year SEN
tence imposed in 1897 for murder.
For pretty Delilah Fails has the stain
of blood upon her soul. Hers is tragic
story, says dispatch from here to the
Chicago Chronicle. At an early age she
was taken into the family of Jerome
Kerns, of Waverly, la. There she lived
in peace and happiness for several years,

Durability of tuberculosis.

The sanatoria, better than anything

until, when about the age of 16, the head
ofthe household, Jerome kerns, forcibly
accomplished her ruin. Once the girl
was in his power their relations con-
tinued over several years, unknown to
the rest of the world. Suitors had pretty
Deiilah Fails in the meantime plenty;
at least two well-to-do farmers of the
neighborhood asked her to marry them.
One Delilah Fails loved him she hoped
to wed. She encouraged his suit and was
about to give him a definite answer,
when of sudden the sutton disappeared,
leaving 70 trace. Not until afterward
did it develop that Jerome Kerns had
told him of the tragic blot upon the life
Of the girl whom he had asked to be-
come his wife
Other men sought to win Delilah Fails,
but Jerome Kerns whispered to them
and kept the girl for himself Then
retaliation, swift, terrible, came upon
the man. His own son, William Kerns
IS years old, fell in love with the girl
who had been reared by his side almost
as a sister. The son asked the girl to
his own son the father was forced to tell
the story of his relations with Delilah
Fails. Together the two, boy and girl,
planned to avenge themselves upon the
man who had wronged and ruined both.
1t was no difficult task for Delilah Fails
to lure Jerome KerEs to lonely spot
in the woods. Kerns followed readily
enough-followed even to his death.
The next Gay his lifeless body was found
PROSTATE on the ground. The search
began for ; his murderer There was
nothing at first to connect either the sen
or Delflah Fails with the tragedy. They
were still engaged to be married, the

the life of the victim, his son and Delilah
Fails.
How matters would eventually have
turned out had not Delilah Fails and
William Kerns had a lovers quarrel it
would be impossible to say, but one day
Delilah received a summons to appear

A NEW sTEREoscoPE.
Instrument Which Uses Mirrors In,
stead of Lenses-Devised by
College Professor.

Prof. Joseph Jastrow, of the Unfver.
sity of Wisconsin, describes in Science
modification of the stereoscope which
he has made. He was led to experiment
by reading an account OF an instrument
invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in
1888. In that device two pictures were
used, and they were examined with the
aid OF mirrors. The arrange ent in
the Wheatstone apparatus required
very careful adjustment of the pictures,
in order to have them appear as one,
and for that reason it never enjoyed

public favor. The modern stereoscope
was perfected by Sir David Brewster.
Prof. Jastrow's plan is to paste the
two pictures upon a single card Gas is
customary with the ordinary instru-
menD. and he mounts this in such
position that the user looks over its
upper edge at pair of mirrors that are
placed where the photograph usually
goes. In the uppermost of the accom-
panying drawings the position of the
eye is shown at E, and that of the card
at c, while M represents one of the mir
rors, and H the handle of the device.
If one looked down from above on the
apparatus. he would get the view given
in the second drawing, and he would
then discover that the mirrors were adj
justed at a very obtuse' angle with each
other.
