A CITY OF DANGERS.
Going Out at Night In MosuI Means
lmperiIins Ones Life.

Going Out at Night In MosuI Means
ImPeriIins Ones Life.
Mosul. on the western bank of the
Tigris, is described in "The Short Cut
to India by David Fraser as place
Of some difficulty for the residents.
Prices of every mortal thing are dear
er than anywhere else in Turkey.
Water is procured only from the tt
girls, and every drop required must be
carried therefrom in skins upon don
keys. Two pounds q month is a very
ordinary expenditure on this essential
and provides but scanty bath.
To go out at night is to place ones
life In jeopardy. To walk across the
bridge in broad daylight is a danger
owing to the frailty of the structure.
The bridge is a wonderful affair and
yields an income of some thousands
of pounds annually to the contractor
who farms it from the government
Three hundred yards of it is solid ma
sonry and the remaining $50 yards
wooden platform laid upon a row of
crazy boats.
Where the bridge of boats abuts the
shore at one end and the stone bridge
at the other are the points of danger,
for owing to the height Of the river
when I was there the jennings were at
a slope of forty-five degrees and con-
sisted Of narrow gangways up which
people, sheep, cattle, donkeys, mules,
horses and camels had to scramble.
No wonder there were many fallings
into the water-dangerous water, too
for it coursed like cataract between
the boats and swirled and boiled In
fierce eddies and whirlpools below the
bridge.
One poor Zabtie, with rifle s!ung and
bandoliers strapped across his chest.
was walking across when his horse
slipped at the ascent to the boat part
OF the bridge, and both fell into the
water. The horse was rescued, but
the man was drowned. Life has small
value in Mosul, however, and nobody
bothered to mend the huge holes In
the bridge or to make its passage less
precarious.

Special Camera Set Up TO Picture II
az Il Crosses the Sun.
A special astronomical camera has
been set up at Honolulu which is ex-
pected to catch some interesting pic
lures of Halley's comet when on May
IS it completes its s, 100000 mile
trip around the sun and begins a sim
liar journey all over again.
DIR. John n. Brashear, who told re-
Gently at Pittsburg Of providing the
camera, said that ON May IS the head
OF the comet would cross the solar
disk and the phenomenon would be
plainly visible I'm the Pacific ocean. 1t
will take the comet but fifty-eight min
utes, he said, to cross the suns face
and at that time it viii be possible to
determine how much solid matter is
in the comets nucleus, for all solid
portions over ten miles in diameter
Will be indicated by Swallowed spots
against the suns background. The
comet on that day will be only 10000
600 miles away from the earth and
consequently will be brighter than at
any other time. The experiments in
Honolulu are being made by the Amer
lean Astronomical and Astrophysical
society

The King Gambler Taught the Small
Fry Lesson.
Some years ago, when St Louis was
wide open. Pat Sheedy, king Of gam
blers, was sitting In the corridor of
the Planters hotel with friend Two
strangers took seats alongside Of Shee-
dy and very shortly turned the CONVEX
sation to poker hands. They had never
seen Sheedy before and did not know
him, but he looked the part of pros
porous sport and at the same time
appeared like "easy money"
Its too bad" one Of the strangers
said, "that we haven't another man
here. We might get up little game of
draw poker.''
Wouldn't mind sitting in myself"
said Sheedy, with a nudge to his
friend. 81 haven't played poker for
some time"
Suppose we play a little showdown

said.

men went to Sheedy's suit On the cut
for the first deal the speaking stranger
received the honor. The way he han
died the cards showed that he was
used to that careless abandon method
that can only come from years of
practice by a professional gambler.
The suspicious of Sheedy and his
friend were verified by the first hand
shown. Sheedy received three kings,
his friend a small full house, the deal
er's friend pair of tens and the deal
er an ace full. The betting was very
light on the part Of Sheedy and his
friend.
The next deal was Sheedy's. He
took long while arranging the cards.
When they were dealt every one In
the party had fours, Sheedy's hand, of
course, being the highest The betting
was fast, and when the hands were
shown the speaking gambler suddenly
remembered a long distance telephone
call for himself and friend was await
ing them. They departed hurriedly,
and Pat Sheedy, turning to his friend,

Novel Railway EnaIns.

A type Of railroad locomotive de-
vised years ago by Mallet, the great
French inventor, but which has been
up to the present time beyond the
needs Of the transportation companies
for power, is now being experimental
with by the experts Of the New York
Central lines on the steep grades of
their Pennsylvania division. Briefly
described, it is double head locomo-
tive with one boiler and therefore IN
der the control Of one engine crew.
It provides almost twice as much
tractive power as the consolidation en-
CINE and is more economical, because
the live steam from the boiler is sup
piled to only two cylinders and used
expansiveIy in the other two.

A GREWSOME PRISON.
The Famous and Terrible Russian
Fortress of SchIuesselburd

Fortress of SchIuesseIburs.
In the middle of the river Neva,
where it flows out of Lake Ladoga,
there lies tiny island surrounded on
three sides by the mighty, turbulent
waters of the river and hemmed in
upon the fourth by the cold and
stormy lake. Upon this island stands
a very ancient fortress inclosed by
high walls more than twenty feet in
thickness. This is the Fortress of
Schluesselburg. Day and night senti-
nels relieved every two hours pace
around the top of these walls, keeping
a vigilant lookout on every hand. No
one from within the fortress, not even
the soldiers or gendarmes, is allowed
to communicate with the people who
dwell upon the banks Of the river. If
the unwary fisherman chances to drift
in his boat too near to the walls OF
the fortress he is greeted by the shout
of sentinel, aiming his ride:
away, or shootr'
Not even the Dead sea In the deserts
Of Asia is so utterly isolated and cut
of from the living world as is this
Fortress OF Schluesselburg, which lies
within forty miles OF st. Petersburg
They are very ancient, the high
walls of the fortress. In many places
they are cracked from old age. and in
the cracks little trees have taken root.
The lower part Of the wall has grad
ually become covered with thick dark
moss, just as the face of a very old
man becomes covered all over with
hair. They look sulien and ominous-
ly silent as IL they hid dark and grew
some secrets. And. in truth. in the
whole world there are no other walls
that have witnessed SO many and such
terrible human tragedies as the For
tress of Schiuesselburg.-D Sos

CLAIM is AMAZING
Young Italian Declares He Can
Visualize Objects at Great
Distance.
AS FAR AS 10000 MILES
Rochester Inventor Has "Televisual-
izer'' With Which He Expects
to Perform Maryels.

1.-The invention which 1 have mace
and the apparatus which I have sue
ceeded in putting together are suf1-
Gent for me to make the assertion that
I can visualize an object at distance
Of thousands OF miles. The object can
be seen with it's properties % color eff
fects, dimensions and movements and
VIII be equal to the original with the
exception that the object itself cannot
be felt with the fingers"
Such Is the remarkable claim made
by William Vincent Pruscino, young
Italian living at II South Union street,
Rochester, N. Y.
Pruscino Is not very communicative
about his invention so far as going
into details Is concerned. At present
he Will deal only in generalities as to
just what his device really is. He
fears that some one will steal his in
vention. He was so oppressed by the
thought of such a calamity that he
even destroyed his model after he had
given a demonstration for his own
benefit. Now he says that he has re-
ceived financial support, and he Is en-
gagged in reconstructing the model pre-
paratory to having it entered and re-
corded at the patent ONCE.
Telegraph Wires Used.
'The actual demonstrations made by
me not many weeks ago" said Prus-
elmo recently, "have completely salts
fed me that seeing at the distance Of
ten or twenty thousand miles is no
more an tmpossfbility; but, on the con-
trary, it In absolutely possible. re-
peat that, thanks to my experiments,
have succeeded in demonstrating this
to my complete satisfaction"
"TelsvtsuaHzer" is the name that
Pruscino has given his device. While
he win not tell anything about its ex-
act nature, he admits that telegraph
wires have to be used and that per-
sons, objects and scenes can only be
visualized where the necessary appa-
ratus is set up at both points, which
would correspond in telegraphy to the
sending and receiving" points. The
televisualizer, however, is not a sys-
tenn Of sending portraits by telegraph
Pruscino claims much more for his in
vention, as he says he can reproduce
the color, movement and various d.
mansions OF the scene.

FRUITS AND

Damage from the Sudden

What Chicago Newspapers Say

Fruits and garden truck were
from two weeks to month ahead of
usual time. It seems certain that the
loss to the fruit crop will make prices
higher this summer.
'The fact that fruit trees had got
such a good start made the orchards
particularly susceptible to frost and
the trees suffered just in proportion
as they were ahead of their usual
blossomg season. In some sections
the entire crop is ruined"
With these conditions it will be
we'll to anticipate the rise in prices
on fruits and vegetables and the fol-
lowing bulletin from Battles will be
good news to housewives. You can
buy the finest canned fruit and vege-
tables at the old price-fruits and
vegetables gathered from orchards
and gardens and prepared by home
like methods while absolutely fresh
the very best possible to put up
at bottom prices. Plan ahead and
you'll be money to the good. A few
