who worked in the mine, and her life
linked up the present with the faron
days when women and children toiled
long and arduously in the bowels OF

The act of parliament. known as

women and girls, as well as boys un-

underground in the mines. came into

oner, in the pit.
In order to evade what was then re-
sented as a legislative innovation by
many of those In whose interest the
law had been put upon the statute
book, Kitty Grayson disguised herself
as man by donning her fathers
breeches. jacket and flannel shirt. The
government inspector got wind Of 1t.
however. and paid surprise visit to
the colliery. catching Kitty at her
work below ground. The result was
that she was instantly stopped. though
she had by this time actually worked
for full twelve months in the pit after
the act Of parliament had become op'
erative and had. of course. been defy
ing the law OF the land all this time.
In later life old Kitty often told how
she had outrun the legislature by don

MOTION PICTURES.
The First Crude Attempt to Show a
Trottine Horse In Action.

The First Crude Attempt to Show a
Trottine Horse In Action.
Probably the man who can claim the
greatest credit for moving pictures is
Edward Muybridge of Oakland. Cal,
who at the instigation of Governor Le:
land Stanford OF California made
countless pictures of the governors
celebrated trotter Occident, thel first
horse to trot mile in 2:20 west of tho
Rocky mountains. Occident was the
pride of the governors heart, and he
engaged Muybridge to photograph him
In every conceivable size and shape
In making series of snapshots of f.the
horses action Muybridge was enabled
to show the exSHt motion.
In order 10, satisfy the governor he
thought of a aovel scheme of placing a.
number OF cameras covering mt least
eras he stretched silk threads across
the track at about the height of the
trotter's knee, These threads being
broken. each camera made Il separate
distinct picture of the horse, and by
putting them together and riffling from
the thumb the horse could be seen as
In actual motion.
In 1885 Muyhridge sailed for Eng
land and there, In connection with six
or seven Others. evolved the first NOV
ing picture camera. In about 1886
some of these cameras reached Amer
lea. In 1887 the patent office at WASH
ington commenced to receive a shower
of applications for moving picture ap-
paratus both for taking and projecting
purposes. s.-Popular Mechanics!

Friday the Thirteenth.

Some superstitions die hard, If in
deed they are dying at all. Twicethis
year the thirteenth day of the month
has fallen on Friday. 1t is impossi-
bic not to connect this combination
with certain observations made In Par
is and London. 3
On Friday, Oct. 49,, there were no
marriages in Paris, and a reference to
three London papers, the Times, the
Morning Post and the Globe shows
that none was recorded on that date,
and wedding is hardly wedding if
1t is not put on record in the. Morning
Post and the Times.
In France the effect of Friday, the
18th. was even more widespread
Thousands of French people must
have abstained from travelling. The
receipts of the Genera, Omnibus COM
pany in Paris showed a; shrinkage of
10000 francs. or $4,000 The Midi

The sixtb Sense

At recent meeting of the Paris
Academy of Sciences NJ. Krnz dis
cussed the phenomenon of feeling at

blind people to avoid nearby obstacles
is ascrlbed. M. Kunz believes that,
such power exists and that it is not
peculiar to the blind. 1t seems to be
shared by others who possess pecul-
lar constitution. The faculty appears
to reside in the skin, for experiments
show that it is not connected with the
sense of hearing. AS to its nature, lit

There is tendency to ascribe obscure
phenomena of this kind to electrical
