Rev. Davenport. Of Fowler. and the
body laid to rest in the Rocky Ford

the last sad tribute to the end of a

Mrs. Westfall's death came as a

calm and peaceful, and was fitting
crown to the end of life that had
been spent in the service Of her

number of hogs into q settlement to

Weeks passed by, and the farmer had
given up all hope OF ever recoy ering
his lost or stolen property when to his
surprise it was found in the cellar Of
an old abandoned house. 81 n
n As the house was situated at the edge
of the road over which he had driven
the hogs, it Is supposed that she fell
through the rotten flooring upon which
she had stepped at some moment when
the farmers eyes had wandered in an
other direction.
When brought up she was pitiable

poor, unpadded bones.
Food was given her in small quanti-

she entirely recovered from her long

learned that three months lacking five
days had elapsed, showing that she
had sustained life without nourish-

There is no telling what the accidents

New Works. First State Prison.
The first state prison in New York
state was built at the foot Of West
Tenth street in New York city, in
1897. Within seven years there were
three mutinies of prisoners. in which
keepers were killed and the prison set
on fire. Nevertheless the institution
seems to have been considered an at
traction, as appears from the follow
ing advertisement Of the Greenwich
hotel, printed In the Columbian Of
Sept. 49, 1911: y
A few gentlemen may be accommodated
with board and lodging at this pleasant
and healthy situation, few doors from
the state prison. The Greenwich stage
passes from this to the federal hall and
returns five times q day.

Sing Sing in 1928, and the property
was sold the next year.-New York

A CURIOSITY OF LUNAcY.
Periodicity Of Mania by Which til.
Patient Lives Three Lives.

Periodicity Of Mania by Which the
Patient Lives Three Lives.
There is a special form Of mental dis
ease, first described in France, whose
definite character is given to 1t by its
periodicity, and hence it is called folie-
circulaiFe. In it there are three sections
Of the mental circle that the patient
moves in-yiz, elevation, depression
and sanity and in this round he
spends his life, passing out of one into
the other, for it is. when fully estab-
lished, a very incnrable disease. &
@ The patient takes an attack Of mania,
during which he Is joyous, restless,
troublesome, extravagant and often
vicious. He eats voraciously, sleeps
little and never seems to tire. His
temperature is degree or so above
the normal, his eye is bright and glis-
3tening, he is enamOred Of the other sex,
he shows diminished self control and
no common sense.
This lasts for 81 few weeks, or d few
months more commonly, and then he
passes sometimes gradually and some
-
times rather sudd enly into a condition
Of depression, during which he is slug.
3gish, dull, looking differently, dressing
differently, eating differently, fearful
unreliant and sedentary in habits.
This state will last a few weeks OF
months. and the patient win brighten
up into what seems recovery and is to
all intents and purposes In his normal
state. This again lasts for q few
weeks or months, and he gradually
gets morbidly elevated. You find he is
passing through every minute mental
phase and habit he did at first. De
preston follows as before, and then
sanity, and this round Of three states
of feeling, Of intellect. of volition and
of nutrition, goes on. circle after circle.

A DAM Built ON END.
How . Clever Engineer, Conquered a
II Il Mechanical Difficulty. h

Mechanical Difficulty.
Almost every boy has built dozens
!0f dams In various ways. constructing
them across the bed of the channel,
wide or narrow. to be damned But
did any boy ever; think of building a.
dam on end and then tipping 1t over?
An inventive American engineer, Isham
Randolph. who became famous by his
work on the Chicago drainage canal,
has tried this idea ON the Niagara river
200 yards above the Horseshoe fall and
made q remarkable success Of 1t.
OF course an ordinary dam could not
easily be built in the fercely racing
currents Of Niagara hurrying to plunge
over the fall So Mr. Randolph decided
to build his dam on end on the very
edge of the river. It was not meant to
do more than raise the water level a
few inches. SO as to prevent water
scarcity In winter for the Canadian
town of Niagara Falls when. the ice
jam comes on. A dam seven feet or so
high was enough and fifty feet long.
Turned on end, this meant a column
fifty feet high and seven feet four
inches square The clever. engineer
used concrete as the cheapest, easiest
and least corrosive material But any
column of any material was certain to
break in the shock Of falling. How
was that to be provided for7
Easily enough, the inventive builder
argued. Up the middle Of the concrete
column, like q huge backbone, he ran
a strong iron chain weighing about 800
pounds. The whole column weighed
some 200 tons. At intervals eight feet
apart all the way up it along the land
ward face wooden wedges were insert
ed, SO that in breaking 1t would follow
these lines and break into regular
blocks, held together by the chain. The
plan was aadacious, but entirely prac-
tical-a true Yankee notion On Nov.
I9, 1905, the finished dam was sent fly
ing over BY three hydraulic jacks.
Amid the breathless interest Of a large
crowd Of spectators the concrete col
umn fell, splashed and settled. When

First THERMOMETERS.

The first thermometer was made in
1921 BY Dutch physicist named Cor
nelius Van Drebbell and consisted of
q tube filed with air. closed at its up
per end and dipping at its other ex-
tremity, which was open. in bottle Of
nitric acid diluted with water. AS the
temperature rose or fell the air in the
tube increased or grew less in volume
and consequently the liquid descended
or rose. This instrument is now known
as an air thermometer. but as its meas
urements were based on no fixed prin-
ciple 1t was Of little use.
