oyroseope Monorail Discovery.
Before brilliant assemblage Of sci
entists in London last week under the
auspices Of the Royal society Louis
Brennan, G. B., the well known In
ventor Of the Brennan torpedo, gave a
demonstration with miniature rail-
way car or locomotive running on q
single rail with apparently nothing to
balance 1t, 1t being the first practical
application Of the we'll known principle
Of the gyroscope to railway locomo-
ton. 1T was q demonstration which
6oreshadowed another industrial rev0-
luton, according to those who saw it.
The car. propelled by petrol elec-
tric generating set, ran about the hall.
turned sharp corners at high speed,
crossed q single strand wire cable in
lieu Of bridge and climbed heavy in
[clines, all with perfect stability. Some
times It was loaded and sometimes
empty. but there was no attempt to
balance the load, for the vehicle did
that instantly and automatically. II
the load was piled on one side that
side rose IN proportion to the burden
and the empty side was depressed,
maintaining Its stability whether stand
ing still or In motion.
This result was brought about by
an automatic stability mechanism OF
extreme simplicity carried by the ve-,,
hicle itself, consisting Of two fy wheels
rotated directly by electric motors In
opposite direct lions. at high velocity
and mounted so that their gyroscopic
action and stored up energy can be
utilized. These hy wheels are 30
mounted on fine bearings and placed.
IN exhausted cases. reducing air and
journal friction to a minimum, that
very little power Is required to keep
them IN motion. If the current is cut
on. they will run at velocity sufncient
to impart stability to the vehicle for
several hours and viii not come to
rest for two or three days. The
mechanism occupies small space and
10 8 per cent Of the total load. The
wheels are placed IN a single row be.

Pat Wa. SURPRISED.

Two Irishmen got the contract to
clean a well. Pat tied rope around
his middle, and Mike lowered him into
the well. When Pat was through
cleaning, Mike began to hoist him up.
but when he was halfway up he called
to his companion in the we'll:
"Hculd on a minnit, Pat, till spit
on me hands," and let 60 of the rope.
Naturally Pat descended again little
too rapidly for comfort. When Mike
realized his blunder, he ran to the well
and called down:
"Pat, Pat, are ye deadY
And his partner replied:

dead, begorry, but Orm spachless wild

ton Of Republicans and Democrats in
the New York state senate the govern
or was able to regain complete control
Of his party in that body last week
when the public utilities bill was In

New German Tariff Plan.
The new tariff agreement between
the United States and Germany, which
was drawn up by Secretary Root and
Ambassador Won Sternburg, to go into
effect July 1, 1907, has been made pub
lie. It gives Germany the reductions
Of duty authorized on all the articles
mentioned in the third section Of the
Dingley act. This amounts simply to
the addition Of champagnes and spar
king wines to the reduced rates list.
Denying Third Term Rumors.
President Roosevelt has been kept
pretty busy denying the various state
ments made by his friends looking to-
ward his acceptance Of a third nomina-
ton. To one Massachusetts caller who
told the president that New England
would insist upon his denomination the
president replied: Nonsense! II I
were to accept denomination after
what I have said on the subject, !
would be historically disgraced."
Roosevelt Explains Further.
The committee of the New York Fed
Grated union returned from its call
upon President Roosevelt with form
al letter from him repeating what he
had written to the attorney general on
March Is, 1906. In that letter the pres
ident said that they must see that ex-
act Justice was done the accused men,
referring to Messrs. Meyer, Haywood
and Pettibone. He said he would call
upon the district attorney of Idaho for
any information Of unfairness in the
conduct Of the case, and, on the other
hand, he wanted to know whether
there was any sign Of miscarriage Of
justice in their favor, referring to the
intemperate violence Of the socialistfc
and labor agitators. The president also
says that IL at any time any one can
submit to him evidence showing mis-
carriage Of justice he will bring such
evidence to the attention of the attor-
ney general and have him take action

Hons and delays. Representatives of
the press were on hand from every
part Of the nation, and the city was
dlling up with people attracted out Of
curiosity to the scene of the trial. In
anticipation of possible trouble the au-
thorities had surrounded all those con-
nected with the trial with special
guards, while the militia and two
troops Of regulars were held in readi-
ness for the least sign Of disturb
ance. This was probably due to the
numerous threats received by Govern
or Gooding from sympathizers with
the accused. Special quarters, had been
taken for the jury, SO as to keep 1t
under constant guard, and a special
order was issued by the mayor against
street speaking during the progress Of
the trial.

EVIDENCE IS ALL IN
Counsel Making Arguments in the Celebrated Democratic
 Muddle of the Bay State.

Boston, Oct 1S.-With the evidence completed in the Bartlett-Whitney contest for the democratic nomina- ton for governor, there remained to- day, to finish one of the most i'm portant political controversies ever known in the state the arguments by three counsel, and the decision by the ballot law commission.
 While under the law ro changes in the nomination for the state ticket could be made after o'clock last night, the secretary of state stretched the construction of the act few hours and gave the commission until noon today to render decision on the question whether the ticket head ed by General Charles w. Bartlett of Newton or that of Henry NJ. Whit ney of Brookline should appear on the ballot with the designation of democratic" after it. A third con- tingency, and one supported by D.. Gerry Brown of Brockton, candi- date for lieutenant governor on the ticket of the independence league and an aspirant for similar nomination by the democrats, was the rejection of both the tickets nominated at Springfield and the elimination for the first time in many years, reg ular democratic candidate for gover- nor and other state officers.

CarlyIe's Recipe For Shirts,

Here is an extract from letter of Thomas Carlyle, in which he asks his sister to make him some shirts and sends the measurements. How many women could make a shirt after them
 'Afy Dear Jenny" In the mean while I want you to make me some flannel things, too-three flannel shirts especially. You can get the flannel from Alick if he has any that he can well recommend. You can readily have them made before the other shirts go off. I have taken the measure today and now send you the dimensions, to- gether with a measuring strap which I bought some weeks ago (at one penny) for the purpose, You are to be care full to SCOUT the flannel first, after which process the dimensions are these: Width (when the shirt is laid on it's back, 221s inches; extent from wrist button to wrist button, 61 inches; length in the back. 8 inches; length in the front. 251a inches. Do you under stand all that? I dare say you will make it out, and this measuring band will enable you to be exact enough"

TEACHERS IN SESSION
Chosen Delegates Will Finish the Business Begun To-Day in
 Meriden TO.MOrTOW.

New Haven, Oct 1S.-In holding meetings in this city and Hartford to-day, the Connecticut State Teach CTS association tried something new this year, the custom heretofore being to hold the annual meetings in one of these two places. Teachers in remote parts of the state have found it difficult to reach New Haven and return to their homes at req sonable hour i.I the evening and 1t was figured that if the same meet ings were held in both New Haven and Hartford much of this difficulty would be overcome. The program in the two cities was practically the same, the addresses in Hartford in the morning being repeated i'll New Haven in the afternoon. While the speaking at Hartford was going on in the Parsons theater this morning the teachers in New Haven were holding the section meetings, and this afternoon while the men who spoke in Hartford in the morning were addressing the teachers in this city, the teachers in Hartford held their section meetings. The music section, however, was not held ill New Haven.
 The addresses at the general meet ings were delivered by Edwin G. Cooley, superintendent of schools in Chicago, who spoke on the topic Practical Education" and President Edwin A. Alderman of the universi- ty of Virginia, whose subject was Education Achievement of the South During the Last Quarter Gen. tury."
 As the convention was held in two places, it was impossible to trans act the business of the convention to- day, and instead the meetings in each city elected ten delegates to meet in joint convention tomorrow in Meriden, when the business of the association will be disposed of.

CAVANAUGH AGAIN.
Officer Won Second Medal at Station
 This Morning.

Patrolman John Cavanaugh, who made such a daring rescue last Sun day morning, when he jumped into the Manhan canal and saved the life of Frank Lobardo, aged IS months, performed another heroic act this morning which caused a large crowd at the Union station to give him a rousing cheer. What Jack did this morning was to chase after the Dan bury train carrying in his arms a wo- man sixty years of age who had missed the train and who wanted to reach the bedside of her daughter, who was dying in Danbury. Cav anaugh had to go a distance of more than 300 feet. but when he had tray cled about half the way he succeeded by waving the woman's handbag. in getting the conductor. who happened to he on the rear patform of the last coach, to hold the train at the tower near where the old Highland station used to stand.
 The train stopped for moment at the tower. but undoubtedly would nave Starleu OH II 1dNdhduSh ildu HoI continued to wave the handbag as a signal. When he reached the coach he was greatly fatigued, while the wo- man tainted as she was placed on the coach As Cavanaugh walked back the tracks. the employees of the Brass Mill. who had been attracted to the windows by the shouts from those at the station, cheered the officer for his manly act. When he came back to the station a big cheer went up in which were the voices of large num- ber of school teachers waiting for the train to take them to Hartford. where they were to attend the convention.

Hunting the Maribou.

Hunting the marabou is attended with great difficulty, as the bird pos sesses wonderful cunning and often contrives to outwit the most skillful hunter. With laughable dignity it measures the ground between itself and it's pursuer and takes very good care not to exhaust itself by too rapid flight. If the hunter moves slowly the bird at once adopts an equally easy pace, but if the hunter quickens his steps the bird is off like an arrow. It is very difficult to get within gun range of this calculating creature, but the natives adopt a novel means of capturing it, which the bird, with all its astuteness. is unable to compre- bend and falls an easy victim. A tempting morsel of meat is tied to the end of a long stout cord, which the skillful hunter filings to q great dis tance, as he would a lasso the bait falling as near the fleeing bird as he can aim It. He then conceals himself hastily behind bush or crouches low on the sand. The marabou, which al- ways keeps its eye on the hunter, see ing him vanish, quietly stops and de- yours the bait, when it is easily se- cured by the hunter, who runs toward 1t, coiling the rope as he goes.

DOGS TO JOIN POLICE FORGE

Six Famous Belgian Canines Are Com
 ing to Aid New York Cops.
 New York, Oct 1S.-Within few days New York will have it's famous ''dOg police force," which was decided upon as the result of recent attacks on young girls. Two kinds of dogs will be placed on duty to aid the patrolmen. One breed will be the famous police dogs of Ghent, six of which are now on their way here from Europe in charge of Lieutenant Wakefield. The other dogs will be bloodhounds. They are at present at Poughkeepsie, where they are being trained.
 The Ghent dogs, which possess rare intelligence in ferreting out crooks will be used in the outlying sections of the city. These dogs have been train ed to hold up any person not in uni form and will be kept muzzled from daybreak until 10 o'clock at night. Then. according to the present plans, they are to be turned loose in the out lying precincts to keep belated way farers in check until their barking at tracts the bluecoat on the beat and the prisoner gives an account of him self. In this way it is thought that many underworld providers can be run down in the districts that have been subjected to attacks on women and burglaries in recent months. The bloodhounds will be placed in the heart of the city.

TUGS ARE TIED UP.
Engineers Refuse to Work Without
 all Assistant.

New York, Oct. 1S.-Thirty large coastwise tugs are idle in the waters of New York city, Baltimore, Phia- delphia and Boston because the two engineers on each boat refuse to work unless a third engineer is en- ployed to help them.
 Edgar F. Luckenbach, president of the Coastwise Tug Owners associa- tion, has begun injunction proceed ings before Supreme Court Justice As- pinWall to Oblige the officers of the Marine Engineers Beneficial associa- tion not to abet the engineers, as al- legged, in their position. The injunc- tion is returnable tomorrow. He has also complained to the local federal steamboat inspectors. But James J Waters, representing the engineers organization, declares that no engin- eers have quit work except such as did so voluntarily and the association is not responsible, because the ques- tion rests entirely with the engineer of each tug. The trouble may develop with a complete suspension of the coastWise tugbOat business on the middle Atlantic seaboard.

EDWARDS CASE POSTPONED.
Mrs Emma Edwards of Waterbury Looking Up Counsel for Daughter.

Willimantic, Oct 1S-The trial of Mrs Alexander Comstock, which was to have come up this morning was again postponed until Monday morn ing. Mrs Comstock was formerly Miss Myrtle Edwards of Waterbury and is charged with having isssued check for $9S to Landlord Young of Young's hotel. When the check was presented at the bank it was declar- ed worthless.
 Mrs Emma Edwards, mother of Myrtle Edwards. resides in Mixville near Cheshire. Yesterday she was in Waterbury in cOnsultat tion with a lawyer in an effort to have him come to this city to defend her daughter. But it appears that the mother was stranded financially and the lawyer did not care to take up the case. It seems to be the opinion here that If the check is made good Miss Edwards will be released.

HARTMAN SICK OF ATTACKS.
Says General Onslaught on Big Rail
 roads of Country Is Unjust.

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-So certain was Edward H. Hartman of his ultimate victory in the Illinois Central fight that he asked John J. Mitchell. president of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank, to accept the place of Mir Stuyvesant Fish when it shall become vacant. Mir. Mitchell is considering the offer, and it is understood that he will ac- cept. MT. Fish and his friends de- clare they will keep up the battle to the last.
 The move on the part of Mir Harri- man to get MT. Mitchell into the Hi nois Central board is regarded as a shrewd one MT. Mitchell is friendly with both factions in the fight and is a personal friend of both Mir. Fish and Mir. Hartman. After two sessions the stockholders meeting took an ad- journment. Mir. Hartman told the re- porters that the general onslaught on the big railroads of the country is un- just and that he is sick of such at tacks
