Car Seats on Lever.

Aside from the question of comfort,
the thing that limits the distance be-
tween car seats is the space needed
for the turning Of the backs of these
seats. A Philadelphia man has elm
mated this feature by inventing a
mechanism which turns alternate
seats automatically, and not only
saves space, but saves the conductor
time. This device consists of a lever
mechanism running under the seats
and connecting with the backs. There
are two levers, each operating alter

STIR ABOUT PETTICoAT RULE.
Whether it is true is known best
to those closely connected with the
administration of public affairs in
England, but there can be no doubt
that a statement by DR.. T. Miller
Mcguire, official army lecturer in the
British Empire, that five women, two
financiers, four Cabinet ministers and
King Edward rule England, with the
influence of the women predominant,
caused a stir in the British Empire.
Who the women were DIR. Mcguire
refused to say, but it has been known
for long time that rising politicians
have complained that the petticoat
influence in British affairs has re-
tarded their progress. A few fortu-
nate ones. of course, have been bene-
fited by this influence, but those who
did not meet with the approval of the
women were doomed to have their
ambitions defeated. The women of
England, especially those in high So
ciety, take deep interest in politics.
They are intensely anxious for the

HERO OF THE TELEGRAPH KEY

HERO OF THE TELEGRAPH KEY.
Three years ago as the Overland
Limited dashed through the night, in
the bad lands forty-fve miles west
of Cheyenne, Wyoming, rail broke
in two and came up through the bot
tom of the baggage car. In an in
slant the train of nine cars was piled
thirty feet high, while about and be-
meath the wreckage were more than
one hundred and fifty dead or injured
human beings. A frightful sleet
storm with biting cold was raging,
and to this the hurt and dying lay
exposed.
The locomotive was wrecked SO
that it was impossible, to cut loose
and race ahead to the nearest settle
ment with word of the disaster, and
it seemed as if nothing could be done
to save the sufferers except to flag the
next train. due in five hours, when,
from under the wreck, on hands and
knee stumps. came an apparition
leaving red trail behind It proved
to be Frank Shaley, a telegraph line
man who had been sent up the road
to locate wire trouble and who, with
his satchel of instruments strapped
across a shoulder, had been in the
baggage car when the crash came.
Clutching the precious satchel, he
dragged himself forward. but his legs
had been smashed off at the knees
md he was bleeding frightfully. "The
telegraph! Cut in on the telegraph"
he shouted, but not a man there knew
which one of the score of wires to
cut. and Shaley himself could not tell
without testing. They threw rope
across an arm of one of the poles,
passed a sling about the dying man,
and hoisted him up. Then he cut
and grounded the wire and connected
his telegraph key. Tenderly propped
by anxious hands, he began to send
the call for the Cheyenne operator,
meanwhile gazing stoically at the
pool where his life blood ebbed away.
At that unusual hour of the night he
found trouble in raising his man, and
he pounded his key for ten minutes
before he got an answering click.
Number II terribly wrecked forty
miles west of Cheyenne. Send hos

lowed his head on the satchel and an
armful of waste. while forty miles
away a whistle shrieked through the
night and brought engineer. fireman.
and two hundred Japanese tumbled
on to the wrecking train, followed by
the hospital train with doctors and
nurses. But Shaley was gone when
they came. Not line in the ashen
face betrayed the inhuman torture
he must have undergone, nor the
strain of turning his mind from his
own agony and impending doom to
the little brass instrument with which
he had saved scores of lives.-A. w.

NO BAGGAGE CARAVAN FOR HER.
When Mrs. Roosevelt departed for
Panama all her wearing apparel was
contained in three medium-sized
trunks. When the Governor-General
OF Canada and Lady Mimic went to
Washington, D. c., a few years ago
for weeks stay in the White House
and the British Embassy their bag
gage consisted of ten trunks and
three hampers as big as piano boxes.
Mrs. Roosevelt thinks that three
evening gowns are sufficient even for
the most fastidious. She invariably
dons black cloth in the mornings
when she is travelling. and with it
she wears soft felt hat, with trim
mings in the prevailing fashion. For
luncheon she has soft silks adorned
with lace, and these serve for after
noon teas. Mrs. Roosevelt never ap-
