The TeIegl aphone.

If experiments which are now being
made with new device. known as the
telegraphone, succeed, another long
step toward the prevention of railroad
accidents will have been taken. The
advantages which the telegraphone af-
fords in train dispatching have at
tracted the serious attention of rail-
road officials. and it is expected that
before long the new apparatus will be
in use on several of the big railroad
systems.
1t has been found that the telegraph
one makes a permanent record of all
train dispatching orders sent by the
telegraph ticker or over the telephone
wire The sound waves set up by the
ticker act upon the diaphragm of the
transmitter attached to the telegraph
one and are thence conveyed TO a
thin steel wire. where they are electri-
cally stored AS soon as a record of
the orders has been made upon the
wire. the train dispatcher places the
receiver attached to the telegraphone
TO his ear and Immediately hears the
orders just as they were given.
Records may be repeated as often
as desired. but as soon as there is no
further need to keep them they may
be wiped out by passing a strong mag
net over the wire, thus making it ready
for use again.
In this way the possibility of error
in train dispatching orders will be
greatly reduced There is no need to
trust 10 the memory. as the orders are
there upon the wire and can be re-
ferred to at any time The records
can be transferred for future reference
by connecting the receiver of the ma
chine in daily use with the transmitter
of large storage telephone. Should
any mistake occur the responsibility
can Immediately be located by refer
ence TO the records on the storage
machine. an Indicator showing on just
what portion of the wire any particu-
lar record has been made. The rec
ord will give so perfect reproduction
of the dispatclfer,s voice. even after
months have elapsed. that it can be at
once recognized

Means Pastured Deer.

Because the reindeer is a domes-
ticated animal in countries where it is
most common and most important to
the inhabitants, many an American
reader has doubtless jumped to the
conclusion that the name refers to the
fact that the reindeer is driven like a
horse and is really deer used with
reins. The explanation of the name is
not so simple. Some authorities have
derived the word from the German
"renn" and 'thier," the former from
the word "rennen," to rum the latter
being a general term applied to any
wild animal. 1t seems most probable,
however, that the real source of ''rein-
DEER is found in the Lapp word RENO,
meaning pasture, and Scandinavian
word meaning deer. The term, there
fore, is equivalent to "pastured." or
domesticat9d deer.

EAGLE PUT UP STIFF FIGHT.
Monarch of the Air Resented 1nterfer

Thomas Haywood, a homesteader
near Turtle Lake, Mimi, sustained
serious injuries in desperate battle
with large eagle which had attacked
a calf. Haywood saw the eagle descend
into the clearing where the calf was
grazing and attempt to carry it away.
He rushed at the big bird with a club
and the eagle at once left the calf and
attacked Haywood.
The man was beaten into partial in
sensibility with heavy blows from it's
wings, but managed to protect his
face by crouching on his hands and
knees. Finally he hit the bird on the
head, knocking it to the ground
Scratched, bruised and exhausted,
Haywood still had enough strength
left to get up and with another blow
or two dispatch the bird, The eagle
measured five feet seven inches from
tip to tip.

FLY DID THE WORK
APPARENTLY ONLY THING THAT
COULD AROUSE SLEEPER.
Ordinary Noises of Household and
Terrific Thunderstorm Brown Slept
Through, But Insect Would
Not Be Denied.

Brown had forgotten to tell the
family that he intended to sleep late
in the morning. He had come in
tired and weary during the wee
sma' hours and was determined to
get his full nights rest if he stayed
in bed all day.
About half past o'clock the maid
got up and through some perversity
of fate, started to scour her pots and
pans. But hard and harsh as the
sound was it merely entered Browns
dreams as from great distance. He
sighed and turned over and, while
the goddess of the kitchen was still
banging away at her pans, he sank
once more back into deep, peaceful
slumber.
At 6 o'clock the Brown baby awoke
with a suffering wall. Mrs. Brown
got up and attempted to quiet him,
but he only yelled the louder. The
baby had the collie! Somebody shook
Brown, but he merely muttered, haAf
opened his eyes, and then closed
them again. Mrs. Brown began to sob,
and the oldest boy was sent flying for

had gone to sleep again, the alarm
clock, which Brown had forgotten to
fix, went off. 1t was one of those
startling and persistent affairs that
rings and rings and rings for five
minutes-and then rings on some
more. AS the thing began to buzz
Brown peeped out of one eye at it.
Then he rolled over, pulled a blanket
over his ears and-went back to
sleep.
At o'clock there arose a terrific
thunderstorm. The wind blew and
the lightning flashed. The baby
awoke again and began to yell. The
thunder rolled and roared. Mrs
Brown rushed about banging the
windows down and calling to the
servants. Brown moaned fitfully
for minute or two, stretched his
feet out until they touched the COO

LIVED MANY YEARS ON POISON.
Wonderful Old Turk Told Of by Cen.
fury Old journal.

There is now living at CONSTANT
nople very extraordinary character,
known throughout that city by the
name of ''Solyman, the eater of corro-
sive sublimate," says quotation from
the Times of 1906. He is now 1O6
years old, and in his youth he accus-
toned himself, like all the Turks, to
take opium, but after increasing the
dose to a great extent, without the
wished effect, he adopted the use of
sublimate, and had taken daily, for
upward of 80 years, go grains.
He some time since went into the
shop of Turkish Jew, to whom he
was unknown, and asked for drachm
of sublimate, which he diluted in a
glass Of water and swallowed in an
instant. The apothecary became great
ly alarmed lest he should be accused
of poisoning the Turk, but his aston
ishment may be conceived when the
next day the Turk came again and
asked for a similar dose.
Lord Elgin s. Smith and several
gentlemen now in England, continues
our century old authority, have con-
versed with this extraordinary char
acter and have heard him declare that
the happiness, he derived after swal-
lowing that active poison was greater
than he experienced by any other
means.
