HORSES SENSE OF DANGER.
Animal Carried Owner Against His
Will Away From Cloudburst.

That a horse has the instincts OF
impending danger was demonstrated
the other afternoon wnen an animal
belonging to M. d. Swisher, county
road overseer, refused to act on the
bit, ran up the mountainside and
saved its rider from death in cloud
burst
Swisher was riding along Box Ca
non, a narrow gulch, when the horse
turned from the road, and paying nc
attention to the rider ran up the
mountainside and stopped on a ledge
twenty feet above. Swisher was mys
titled until he saw water about eight
feet deep rushing down the canon
tearing up bushes and upendins
everything movable. The water was
from a cloudburst about half a mile
further up the gulch, and the horse
had heard the noise of the rushing
water before the rider.
Half mile of the Box Canon road
leading TO Florissant was washed out
and bridges carried away SwisheI

One Anprecintive Reader.

Pasted on the cover of one library
copy of a certain 1907 novel is a
circulation record that causes pro-
found wonderment. The book has
been taken out Of the library four
teen times in all; twelve times on the
same card.
That remarkable record Is a mat
ter for serious speculation. How
could a book of that caliber convey
to any soul a message so tremen-
dous that dozen readings were de-
sired? BY the average reader and
by critics it would be considered a
commonplace book. When publish
ed 1t created no discussion, made no
impression; 1t deserved to make
none, yet, Notwithstanding its ap-
parent mediocrity, some scene there
in, some character, some human
note, went straight to the heart of
at least one reader. There has been
no skipping in reading that book.
1t has been read carefully from cover
to cover; not a page that shows no
sign of usage. This very evidences
of absorption bear eloquent testi-
mony to the interest the story evok-
ed in its one devoted reader. If 1t
were another kind of book, a scien-
tific treatise or a text book of some
kind, 1t would be conceivable that a
student might wish to take it home
twelve different times and pore over
1t for a month at a stretch, but how
a trite, threadbare little novel can
so stir human soul Verify, here
is another mystery past finding out.

TELEPHONE USED
FOR WRITING, TOO.
German Invention 10 Shown In
London With Results That Are
Wonderful Sketches by Wire.

Simultaneous writing and speaking
by telephone is made possible by the
wonderful invention of Gustave Grz-
anna, of Germany, who has been
demonstrating his instrument in
London. With the Grzanna tele.
phone, handwriting, sketching, etc,
can be transmitted over an ordinary
telephone wire for very considerable
distances In few seconds. This
means great improvement on the
old system of electric writing at a dis
ance, which was slow and clumsy.
Messages on the Grzanna system
are passed through as fast as they are
written. One can actually speak and
write or draw at the same time
through the same wires, the tele.
phone being connected with the ap-
paratus (to use the technical term)
through q condenser of two micro.
farads.
BY this system an artist reporter
can telephone TO his Office a descrip-
ton and sketch of any event stimuli.
taneously. In military operations,
maps and sketches illustrating the
enemy's movements can be wired
back by scouts as they unfold them
selves, together with a verbal dis
patch, or an engineer can order ma
terial by telephone from a manufac-
turer, accompany his message With
drawings of the goods he requires.
The wonderful system of telauto-
graphy is accomplished by means of a
light ray travelling over sensitized pa
per. The graphite pencil at the
transmitter end has two electrical
contacts, one for horizontal and the
other for vertical movement, curve
being made up of the component
parts of one or the other. On taking
the pencil from off its rest a tiny
electric glow lamp in the receiver box
is illuminated. The light from this
lamp is conducted to a prism, from
which it is reflected on to two little
pivoted mirrors, one of which CORE.
spends with the circuit of horizontal
movement and the other with that OF
the vertical.
The light ray produced 5y the mir.
rors is absolutely identical with the
movements of the point of the pencil,
and 1t is thrown upon the section OF
a spool of sensitized paper set to re-
ceive it. BY unhinging the attach
ment to the receiver box containing
the Photographic film, and substitut'
ing a focusing glass, the evolutions
of the light ray can be watched. 1t
appears as tiny pinhead of light
travelling in all directions over the
glass - really initiating exactly the
handwriting or drawing of the trans.
mitter.
On laying thepencil down the lamp
is extinguished, and little electro
motor pushes forward the sensitized
paper, on which the message has just
been photographed, passes it through
a chemical bath, in which it is devel'
oped, and in ten seconds the writing
or sketch becomes visible, while an
other film Is unwound from the spool
and placed in position to receive the
next message. All these processes are
automatic. The receiver has now but
20 cut off the film bearing the mas
sage, and "fix" it in the photogra'
phic sense.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review Of Trade and Latest
Market Reports
bradstreet,s SAYS:


"The advance of the fall season
and the notable enlargement of the
movement of cereals and cotton to
market at good prices have made
a further moderate expansion In job
bing and retail trade and collections.
This is especially marked at West
ern, Pacific Coast and Southern CEN
ters, but the point is made that ag-
rlcultural sections have done better
relatively than large Industrial cities
in the matter of retail trade, possi-
bly, because of warm weather, or the
reduced purchasing power of city
workers and the high prices paid
for farm products. Industries, too,
have shown some improvement. no.
table in this respect being coal and
lumber interests. There is an in
crease also reported in blast furnace
capacity and there is more doing at
the paper mills. In the textile trades
little change Is noted, and while the
fall demand for dry goods. millinery
and kindred lines has improved, the
consensus of reports is that buying
is frequent rather than heavy, and
conservatism rules purchasing.
