for Puzzle Inventor.

Marshal P. Wilder related at din
ner striking personal experience:
when was boy in Geneva" he
said, II was once taken through hos
pital for the insane that was not far
from the town.
Many strange, many terrible things
I saw in this hospital, but what at
fected me most deeply was the sight
OF young man Of intelligent and re-
fined appearance who sat with. his
head in his hands mumbling over and
over and over from morning till night:
II can't strap it around my waist
and 1t won't 60 in my pocket. 1t isn't
an automobile horn, because It wont
blow. 1t isn't lamp, for it won't light.
I cant put It on my feet, and It win
not 90 over my head. It is neither. q
fountain pen, pipe nor a baIloohist's
barometer. 1t looks like golf glove,
but It is not ! tennis racquet. !

Greek ordinance which was adopt

bow principle, says the Technical
World Magazine. On trying TO shoot

the elastic arms Of the bow were nee.
essariIy made so strong a. to be no
longer susceptible of tightening b.
hand. A tension shaft had therefore
to be fitted to the bow. which shaft
was tightened with levers or hand
wheels. Finally, a. the power Of
bows altogether failed to insure the

spourfng artesfan wells, from which a
steady stream of water flows when
no pumping is done. This was discov-
cred when the pump was taken out for
repairs, the courtyard being flooded
within a short time.
The wells were bored many years
ago, and are about ITS feet in depth.
There was apparently a subterranean
connection between them, for the
pumping Of water from one lowered
the water in the other. Normally, the
water was within 80 feet of the sur.
face, and that was the condition when
the pump was taken out last March.
Recently, for the first time since
March, the. pumps were again re-
moved, when it was discovered that
the water flowed freely.

Of scandal breathed about her is fortu-
nate in more ways than one. These
girls are oil Just that kind. They have
been from the world all their lives
and know very little Of the mean side
Of it. And then, on the other hand,
there is not one of them who will ever
be anything, and by anything, mean
just that. They will perhaps be good
wives and mothers and die good wives
and mothers. Most people would say,
"What could be betterI" But wheth-
er 1t is ambition or foolisbness / want
to be good actress first. OF course
couldn't live here all the time, but
can enjoy it for two years at least"
One can not but feel psng of sympa-
thy for this young girl who at euch
tender age saw in her schoolmates
only those who will perhapS be good
wives and mothers and die good wives
and mothers, but, as she foresaw, not
one of them will ever be anything.
Already the soul Of this carefully rear.
ed girl was scared with the damning
influence Of her metropolitan associ-
ates and she believed the life Of a
successful actress OF the varie y type
a career infinitely more alluTinR than
the position Of good wife and mother.
In her unconscious disparagement Of
womanhot d in its trahsCendent ele-
rnSnts of virtGe, goodness and honor,
the girl from Broad way voiced the
sentiments Of q cot Of dobauchees in
whose society she felt Contentment
and pleasure, As this tortured young
woman now, looks back npon those
school days and recalls the names and
