seems, epilepsy, manifest in greater
or less degree, revolves upon their
destines. Charlemagne, the great and
wise captain of the Franks, who
stands for feudal civilization, who
''snatched from darkness all of the
lands he conquered" and who reared
an empire that no hand but his was
able to control, is almost the sole ex-

At 80 Alexander the Great, who had
reckoned himself god, died during

the dagger of Brutus saved him from
declining into madness. Marlborough,
who was married to violent woman
and whose only son died in boyhood,
was epileptic during his 10 last years
of life.
The adventurous and daring Give,
world famous and the conqueror of
India, at 40 was decidedly neuropath.
In his memorable duel with a brother
officer he missed his aim, flung away
his weapon and cried: "Shoot and be
damned! said you cheated and I
say so STILL" Give was passionate,
morbid, equity and on opium eater. At
40, rich and of unstinted reputation,
he committed suicide. Wellington was
distinctly epileptic. His fainting fits
after Waterloo were frequent and it
was an attack of epilepsy that carried
him of. The Romanoffs have been
homeopathic for nearly three centuries
and of the epileptic fits of Peter the
Great is "said to have lasted three
days."
Charles ", whose mother was in

Cheap Substitute for Celluloid.

Consul s. C. Mcfarland reports
from Reichenberg that the Austrian
newspapers contain the report of
discovery of complete substitute for
celluloid. which is not yet patented
nor on the market. The following
translation of an article from the
Reichberg Volkszeitung gives such
particulars as are known: An inven-
ton of great importance to interested
industries was made few days ago
by Gablonz experimenter-a substi-
tute for the widely used celluloid.
which, on account of its inflammability
and high price, as we'll as the lack of
other desirable qualities. can not al
ways be used in ways desired. The
new invention overcomes all short
comings, although retaining all the
desirable qualities of celluloid. The
substitute is little dearer than glass,
which is much cheaper than celluloid.
and of about the same weight. The
new material is very elastic, abso-
lutely nOninflammable. and very easy
to work by the turner. BY simple
methods lasting polish can be put on
all articles made from it. which is a
great advantage over celluloid. The
material Is absolutely without smell.
The inventor is a young chemist who
has made exhausting trials of the ma
terial with the best results especially
as to durability in heat and perman-
ency of colors under sunlight and in
water. 1t should be mentioned that
the material is a nonconductor of cleo
tricity and can be used for insulation.
The invention promises to be of great
Importance in the whole celluloid in
dustry. Patents have been applied
for. and the inventor is sanguine of
practical results.

BOY LIVED ON MILK
DIET FOR SIX YEARS.

Annotated Press Cable to The Evening
Times.
Glasgow, Aug. 24.-The discussion
concerning milk as health food has
has been been given a queer turn
here. A case has just come under the
observation of the local physicians,
an dit is said there is only one similar
case on record-that of a 6year-old
girl living in Monticello. Va.
The case is that of boy living at
Penarth, who has existed entirely on
milk since his birth, six years ago.
His name is Arthur Keene. He lives
with his mother and father, and he is
one of four children. He will not take
anything but milk. The choicest foods
have been offered him, but he refuses
to be coaxed away from his milk diet.
On one occasion his mother forced
food down his throat but it made him
ill at once, and he asked for milk.
His diet each week consists of thirty
pints of milk mixed with sugar and
water, which is by no means an excess
sive, quantity for even a 12-months
old infant.
Yet, in spite of this scanty and
monotonous diet, the boy is fully de-
veloped, of normal size and of good
weight. He is inclined to be a bit
rickety, and is rather nervous. He at
tends Penarth council school, and is of
a most cheerful disposition. He has
puzzled the doctors of Penarth. They
have carefully examined him. and they
confess THAT the case battles them
completely.

floor and howls for admission to the
express elevator. 1t is never denied.
The express elevators move without
stopping to the seventh floor. There
1t alights. 1t makes a tour of the
floor. bowls for the next ascending
elevator and proceeds by regular
stages to all the floors until the top is
reached. Then it descends to the 9Th
floor and going successfully down
ward reaches the ground floor about
4:3O o'clock, having paid visit to
every floor in the building.
This regular process the cat has
followed for nearly two years every
day. Its errand on no floor is known.
1t just visits them. Sometimes it
stays an hour. sometimes only few
minutes. It has no particular or per-
sonal association anywhere. But when
its visit is ended it appears at the ele-
vator with calls so distinct that every
conductor knows them and stops for
the feline passenger who thus goes on
its daily round.

with apologies to Hon. John Satter-

smell of gasoline
AS the devil-wagon chugged it's way
Across the level green.
And on like Oceans midnight wave,
The bubble" rolled along,
'When. suddenly, a stranger noise
Was heard by the gazing throng.
1t was loud and fearsome noise
That unexpected came
From out the complicated works
And straightway "she'' went lame.
All silent as the shectrd dead,
In spite Of sheer and frown
FAST by the smooth. inviting road,
The auto settled down.
A murmur broke from out the crowd
The trip was at an end
Mid ringing laughs and shouts of mirth
The bold chauffeur descends..
The neighbors rising at the dawn
Behold 1t standing there.
With tarpaulin upon it spread
Proof 'gainst midnight air.
1t moves about from place to place
A few feet every day
AT night tits wrapped most carefully
