The Laugh Was on Harry.

Miss Jean LenoX, the well known wom- an song writer and author of Wont You Take Little Walk With Me-" Tn an Auto Car" "All the Boys Look Good to Me- "Td Rather Be Like Paw "Whstle If You Love Me Dear" "Acush- la" and a dozen of other hits, tells fun ny little story relative to her recent ap- pearance in vaudeville
 Miss Lenox and MT. Sutton made their debut at Easton, Pa., few weeks ago. This was the first time Miss Lenox was ever on the stage and she was natur- ally very nervous; added to this was the fact that number of the representatives of the press were there to see Miss Lenox. who is herself an ex-newspaper woman of prominence. Consequently she was in a splendid frame of mind as she tremb- lingly faced the packed theatre to get stage fright.
 The first scene of their act was an auto mobile race and one of the effects was the firing of a revolver. This Harry Sut- ton attended to. but in the furry of the first performance, he could not get the firearm out of his pocket so he fired it from within, This set fire to the coat and Harry tried to put it out but in vain Then a stage hand came on, and after skipping Harrys hip pocket in a most ludicrous manner took a bottle of seltzer and squirted it on the shoulder ing coat.
 The audience roared with laughter and Miss Lenox, who could not see the little tableaux which was taking place behind her, thought that they were guying the way she was singing the song, and left the stage in tears It required the utmost persuasion on the part of the manager and other artists to convince her that she was not "the goat"

THE SzECHENYI CASTLE
Situated In a Region Where Belief In
 Vampires Exists.

Julian Chambers in the Brooklyn Eagle.
 The sending of a special correspond- ent to the old, moldy castle of the Sze- chenyi family, among the gypsies In the mountains near Budapest, was an admirable journalistic thought. One could almost wish that the Vanderbilt family had gone to similar expense prior to the marriage. Had that pre- caution been taken there is little doubt that the marriage would have been called off,
 Actual visit and report upon the To- cation and the tumble-down condition of the old rookery confirm my opinion, expressed in this column at the time of the wedding, that it is situated in the region of vampire belief. Instead of believing in fairies, as does Peter Pan," the gypsies of that section Of Hungary are sure that some men and women are vampires. Many an aged baron and count keeps in his cellar, hidden from intruding eyes, the tradi- tional box of clay into which his soul may find retreat when the vampire de- mon takes possession of his body and drives his soul apart from the flesh. Somebody among Countess Gladys old chums ought to send her a copy of Bram Stolxer's remarkable vampire novel, 'Dracula" The day after she has read that book she will move into Budapest and take rooms at the Hotel Hungaria, or quite as likely take the Paris express for home. The little countess will not find the spooky cas- tie as comfortable as "The Breakers"

ODD DREAM FREAKS.
Melancholy People Often Dream Beau
 tiful and Happy Dreams.

From the Detroit News Tribune.
 Dr. T. s. Clouston, superintendent physician to the Royal Asylum, Edin- burgh, Scotland and a well-known au- thority on mental diseases, has given some interesting views on the subject of dreams.
 "The modern opinion about dream ing" said Dr. Clouston, lis that a long series of events do not take place in simultaneously, as used to be thought. Dreams may go on all night It may a sound sleep.
 "A very curious thing is that many melancholy people, whose whole con scious life is one of misery, dream beautiful and happy dreams. They will tell you in the morning that that was their only pleasant time of the 2s hours, and they wish they could sleep always, for then they would be happy.
 "The doctors now, as a rule, think it is a good sign when melancholy peo- pie have cheerful dreams. The physio- logical view of dreaming now may be said to be the opening out of a partial consciousness of things that have been heard and thought about and seen by the brain previously. No. new thought was ever created in dream, and it is very doubtful whether the solution of any new problem was ever effected in a dream"
 It Is we'll known that dream events can occur with startling rapidity. The difficulty is to fix the duration of time. Lord Holland Is stated to have fallen asleep while listening to the reading of q book, and to have had long dream between the beginning and end of a sentence.
 In MT. Barring -Gould's Curious Myths of the Middle Ages reference is made to a dream in which during the striking of the hour on a clock the dreamer saw the whole of the grand army pass in review before Ma polean. Horse, foot, and artillery passed slowly In an apparently in terminable line each unit saluting as 1t passed. Yet all passed in moment of time.
 The rapidity of dream action has suggested to- some psychologists the theory that dreams are always experi- enced during the moment of passing from sleep to wakefulness.

SINKING MINE SHAFT.
New Process Invented By Pennsyl-
 vania Man.

Mining engineers have performed An ingenious and gratifying feat in liter. ally sinking" mine shaft near Wllkesbarre, Pa. In an illustrated arti- Gle In the July Popular Mechanics William c. Richardson describes the construction as follows:
 A shaft wall or caisson of rein forced concrete is being built above ground and allowed to sink of it's own weight through the soft soil, in which are layers of gravel, quicksand and clay, until solid rock is struck some so feet below. When the rock Is reached it will be quarried out in the usual way, and should not the cutting shoe find level resting place. it will be blocked up and all the interstices poured full of cement to form a water tight joint The total depth of the shaft, as now contemplated, will be 500 feet.
 'Tn sinking the shaft, the first opera t1on was to construct a steel cutting shoe, oblong in shape, 50 feet 6 inches by 28 feet. It's outer extremity was of
 A-inch steel, about 30 inches high To the inside of this, about inches from the bottom, was riveted a 1s-inch steel horizontal plate, 2 feet wide, to act as Q shelf for the concrete, which tapers from a width of "A inches at the bot tom to ' inches at the top.
 First a pit, 15 feet in depth, was dug, into which the cutting shoe was placed, the bottom of the pit being made perfectly level to receive it. The molds or forms for the concrete were erected on the shelf within the shoe and the walls built in the customary manner to height of 20 feet. When these became sufficiently hardened the earth was dug away from within the shoe, and as the excavation progressed the weight of the walls forced the steel cutting edge gradually downward. By placing the molds on top of the hard ened walls and repeating the opera tion, the cutting shoe has been driven down until 1t is expected that the en- tire shaft will be completed in time for coal to be mined next winter.
 "In all, some 5000 cubic yards of concrete and 145 tons of reinforcing steel will be used in the walls, which will be carried up 15 or 20 feet above ground, so that, even when the sur rounding fields are under water there will be no danger of the river entering the shaft.
 "When completed, the shaft will be divided into three sections, the first to accommodate two cages for hoisting coal, the second for pump and lad derway and the third for an upcast airway. It is estimated that the cost of the shaft will be $200,000 of which the concrete work will cost about $75,- 900. Two powerful ventilating fans, each with a capacity of 350,0OO cubic feet of air per minute, will be in- stalled. one for regular use and the other for emergency cases.

 They had some trouble quieting me, and 1 guess there were almost as many tears on my mothers cheeks as on my own by the time the incident was ended. Ann Maria was sniveling over the stove.

 T chose the road to Whiffletree, where There was a railroad station and rail- road that led to the ends of the earth. including gold mines and such places. Fortunately, it was an eight-mile tramp and a very hot day. After tramping for 15 minutes I decided to step into a wood I knew well, with a brook meandering through it.
 'I sat down on the outskirts by an old stone wall and chipmunk came out and looked at me. I tempted him with couple of nuts out of my pockets and we
 
 he vanished, too.
 After that I stole over to the brook and I could see the trout lurking in the shadow along the edge Of course, I yanked out the fish line I always carried with the hook stuck in a cork. I found a few worms in a soft spot near by, cut a sapling for a pole, and I had a boys luck with the fish. I landed half a. dozen of eatable size.
 By this time the low red sun and the slanting golden rays-not to speak of my stomach-told me it was near supper time. Naturally turned my face, home ward and ran most of the way so as not to be late. It was only when I bounced in and saw the pretty teacher sitting at the table taking tea with us, and caught the licking expression in pas eye that I remembered l had run away. had clean slipped out of my head in the woods.''
