ASToR'S INVENTION OF VALUE
New York Millionaire Has Added An
other to His Long List Of
Achievements.

Col. John Jacob Astor has invented
many ingenious devices, the latest of
which is thus described by the Scien-
tifc American:
"Many people in crossing the ocean
have experienced Inconvenience by
reason of the fact that the chairs in
the saloon and cardrooms are rigidly
screwed to the floor. The chairs are
secured at such distance from the
tables that they will accommodate
persons of very ample proportions
and therefore when a comparatively
thin person occupies a chair he finds
II necessary to sit merely on the edge,
for should he endeavor to lean back
in the chair he finds himself too far
from the table. -
while recently returning from Eu-
rope Col John Jacob Aston conceived
of very simple and practical scheme
whereby the chairs may be firmly held
In place at any desired distance from
the tables or may be easily released
and moved about. Col. Astor's scheme
Involves the use of vacuum cup be-
meath the chair and so mounted that
II may be pressed into engagement
with the deck or floor to hold the
chair by suction, or the vacuum may
be broken, the cup lifted and the chair
released.
'If the chair is on a deck or hard
wood floor or on rubber thing the
vacuum will hold indefinitely, while II
used on a carpet it will probably be
necessary to depress the cup and raise
it again occasionally to form new
vacuum. Col. Aston intends to pre-
sent this invention to the public, as
has been his custom with all his re
cent inventions"

Watch Recovered from River.

John Norris, a former chief con
stable of Coventry, was the possessor
of historical Tay Bridge watch, say
the London Standard. This was en-
graved with a view of the Tay
Bridge and was inscribed as follows
The Tay Bridge Disaster, December
1879. This watch lay in the River
Tay for six weeks; it stopped at the
time of the accident, remained silent
many days, started again and worked
nine hours under water"
1t was a gold keyless lever which
had been lent to Mr.. Beynan, an art
list of Cheltanham, who was drowned
A charge of dynamite was afterward
used with a view to raising the body
from the river, and this doubtless
started the watch again.

STRANGE PAINTINGS IN CAVE
No One Yet Has Been Able to De
cipher Their Meaning-Must Be
Centuries Old.

The old Indian cave recently dis
covered about two miles from Cliffs
Wash. has been visited by many per
sons during the last few weeks. There
are a large number of Indian paint
ings on the interior walls of the cave
but so far no one seeing them has
been able to decipher any meaning.
The cave has a sand floor, which
seems very strange, as 1t is one OF
the highest cliffs, which is practically
all rock in the surroundings. The
sand must have been carried there
where it forms level floor.
Some of the visitors have dug into
this floor, hoping TO ind some hidden
treasures, but so far nothing has been
reported, although holes more than
three feet deep have been dug into
the sand.
The cave is large enough to make
shelter for $50 to 800 persons stand
ing, and no doubt was a valuable as
set to the Indian tribe that made 1t.
Part of the cave appears to be OF 6
natural cavity made by the disinte
grated lava rock, while a good portion
of it must have been worked out in &
crude way by human hands 1000 OF
more years ago.
There is still another wonder thai
produces thought for study as to its
probable use, and that is a window
carved through the cliff rocks about /,
rods from the cave This window 1.

EXAMPLE OF LAWS DELAY
Case That Went Its Way Through
New York Courts for Twenty
Weary Years.

A grimly humorous illustration OF
one of the results to the litigant may
be found in a New York law suit
which reached final chapter recently
in the court of appeals, says the At
lantic. II was a complex case against
an insurance company on some poll
Gle. CT insurance, and each time x was
tried 1t took from a week to two
weeks attention of court and Jury.
Owing to reversals and new trials
ordered by APPELLATE courts, it had to
be tried nine times. 1t was in the
courts from 1882 to 1902. The plain
tiff became at last so sick and dis
heartened win his interminable law
suit that he abandoned 1t, refused tC
go to his lawyers to consult with
them about it or to appear when the
case was being tried. The lawyers
had themselves spent over $4,000 on
fighting the case, and had worked on
it for nearly twenty years. Their eli
ent having abandoned them, they set
tied the case for 100000 and took the
money themselves for their fee. The
last chapter of the litigation was an
unsuccessful attempt by the receiver
in insolvency of the plaintiff to make
the lawyers give up some of their fee
to their clients creditors. How much
the twenty years delay in the law suit
had to do with that insolvency it is
impossible to say; but such an out
come, to the lay mind, seems hardly
satisfactory as result of twenty
years of litigation, of nine trials, and
seventy-two days time of over a hun
dred jurors.

Brashear was killed by G. & O.

depot in our city on Wednesday
evening of last week-January Is,
1910. The long needed ard wish

the people showed their apprecia-

hundreds of ladies and gentlemen
attended the reception in the new
str ucture. The rooms were il
Illuminated and decorated with cut
fiowe.s, ferns, etc. The commit
tee Of arrangements consisted OF
Mesd. james, II. r. French, w. S.
Lloyd and j. o. Greene, with 9th

as entertainers. Judge Hazelrige
Geo. Eassin and Bob White gave
valuable assistance.

an abundance of sandwiches, olives
and coffee, and the punch bowl

over by Miss Harriet Apperson

men braved the iLclement weather
without their hats. After the
palate and eye feasting, w. r.
Thompson, President of the Bust
ness Mems Club, was Master of
Ceremonies and introduced the
speakers. Mr.. l.. T. Chiles told
about Mt. Sterling and Its Future
in his characteristic and pleasing
manner.

real estate agent for the G.. & O.

with words worth hearing, was es-

good.
w. r. Thompson closed the
speaking with a review of what
can he and has been done.
Among the out-of-town visitors
we noticed Mr.. Garrett Wall, ST.,
of Maysville, his son Garrett
above referred to and Mr.. John
Fox, G. & o. superintendent of
this division.
Two beautiful girls, Misses Gar
nett Robinson and Eula Perry,
pinned on the guests beautiful car
nations. The interest manifested
in this public improvement dedi-
cation was really greater than
might have been expected, and
was no doubt highly appreciated
by the officials of the road. The
relation between a community and
great corporation like the G. &
O., should be such as to inspire
helpfulness, good will and mutual
striving for improvement and eff
cient service. Twas good to be
there.
