FIRE FIGHTER HAD BLOOD POISON

Mr.. J. C. Darnell, of West Vir,
ginia, who is temporarily located
! here, had a narrow escape from a
serious attack from blood poison
following the big fire of last Monday
night. Although a stranger and
having no direct interests involved
in the big conhagration, Mr.. Darnell
set about fighting the fire and work
ed herocially from II to 4 O'Clock,
during the most serious stage of the
fire and did splendid service. At the
early part of the game he ran nail
in his left hand, but did not cease
to fight the fire until outside help
arrived. He was in the hottest of
the fight at times and helped val
iantly with the hose.
Shortly after the fire, indications
of blood poison developed in his
hand and for two or three days it
was feared that the poisoning could
not be checked without removing
the injured member. The blood
poison has however been checked
and Mr.. Darnell is able to be out.
He has suffered considerably but
is now thought to be out of danger.

March is gone, and there is no
one to lament it hereabouts. The
month has a bad reputation, and
most everybody breads it. 1t fully
sustained its reputation this year
as the most cratic, beastly one Of
the twelve. 1t did every ugly thing
it was ever known to do and did
them all over and over again. 1t
came in mad as the proverbial
March hare and its angry mood
never wore off. 1t has handed
down storms of every description
wind, snow, hail rain and sleet,
and they have been put off in rapid
succession. As the genuine, typical
old March, she has been real sue
cess. She will have nothing to pay
back to April or May because she
borrowed nothing. She came in
like lion and there was no lamb
business at the close--at least cat
this writing" She goes out with
flying collars, hats and fence rail.
Let her go!
As stated above, March is dread
ed month, especially in our climate,
and, if a vote were taken to ellmi-
nate one month from the calendar,
March would most likely be elected.
To most of us there seems to besome-
thing more than humor in the old
negro's philosophy! "I'm goin' to
lib anoderyear now cause | always
notis when lib through de month
O. March I lib anoder yeae."

merly to be done by hand-and fourth in
ventOn is a mechanism which neatly arrangcs
in coils the postage stamps which are to be
placed on sale in vending or stamp-selling ma
chimes which 1t is planned to introduce in this
country following the example of Germany and
other foreign countries.
Much has been printed from time to time re-
garding the machines that almost think" in
vented by the mechanical experts Of the United
States census bureau to aid Uncle Sam in tho
big task of counting noses. However, there is
one invention, newer than any Of the others re-
garding which little has been said. This is the
automatic cardsorting machine, the function of
which is to sort mechanically the ninety odd
million cards representing the people OF the
United States-fOr, under our present system or
cardindeXing the country the census Office mas
on file bit of pasteboard to represent every
man. woman and child in the republic. The
new sorter sorts cards at a speed of from 300 70
325 per minute, sorting the cards into thirteen
different drawers. The machine is operated by
electricity and the sorting is done through the
medium of sensitive needles which seek out the
holes which have previously been punched in
each card to record biographical facts and dis
tribute the cards according to the location or
these holes.
Uncle Sans greatest business institution, the
nostofice department, has lately fosteTed Its
share of new inventions aside from the stamp
evnerimenting The late novelties include an
aloctric canceling machine for canceling the
STAMPS on letters and postmarking the enveE
ones trolley system for handling mail in city
nostofices and a belt conveyor system for the
same purpose. Two clerks in the postofice de-
nartment lately invented machine that cuts
down work 20 per cent. in the money order
branch of our postal headquarters, through its
faculty In automatically printing the money Or
der fees as the amounts of the paid money or
ders are recorded for auditing purposes. And
finally. the department is on the eve of per-
fecttng a remarkable new machine for the use
OF every postmaster throughout the country who
conducts a branch of the new postal savings
bank This last-mentoned invention is sugges-
tive in appearance Of the familiar cash register
and its function is to mechanically fill cut the
deposit slips of the lately-established poor
mans bank" a work that had formerly to be
done by hand Not only will this new ;nechan
ical toiler save time and labor but it viii make
dishonesty virtually impossible on the part o:

was the particular form of melody transmitted
and the results were really surprising IN many
respects. For one thing the music as heard
at the other end of the line was remarkably
clear and sweet. Indeed it was seemingly

the telephone served to entirely eliminate the
needle nose" the on suggestion OF the me-

ed in their own homes. This would, OF course
prove an especial boon in the case OF subur-
banites and residents of the rural dlsClctS
where the use of the telephone has increased
so tremendously in recent years In the eX-
perments with multiplex telephony the graph
ophone music was employed to still further
demonstrate the possibility Of using single
wire for the transmission of various messages
simultaneously, each Independent of the others
For instance one occasion Caruso, by
means of "talker," sang on the line while
THE Charge of the l. ight Brigade" (as re-
cited into a separate transmitter close at hand)
carried over the same wire at the same
time without in any way interfering with the
famous tenor's voice.
nical equipment none bids fair to ultimately
work greater wonders than the lately intro
duced Pulmotor. The Pulmotor is a delicate
ly adjusted machine that occupied a portable
case not much larger than the ordinary dress
suit case, and its function is to bring back to
life persons supposed to be dead. The gov
eminent provided the first of these new mir
ace workers for the use Of the newly estab-

visible hand and almost rlOre quickly than
the eye can follow the operation, these nails
are one and all drawn to the highly magnetized
surface.
This new magnet, worlds record breaker
in size as we'll as in power, was constructed
specially for the United States government by
a firm of instrument makers in Switzerland.
The circumstances connected with the design
ing of the magnet illustrate how great minds
may run in the same objection. Mr.. Frederick
Bates, the United States government expert
who is at the head of the division of pOlarimet
ry at the bureau of standards and working in
conjunction with othef government scientists
just worked out the detailed plans for such a
magnet when he discovered that the foreign
instrument makers who ultimately built this
one for our government had been covering the
same ground at the same time, each inventor
unconscious of the activities of his rival on the
opposite side of tae Atlantic
Perhaps the MOST unusual attribute of this
magnet Is that il Is made available for con-
tnuous use, this being accomplished by re-
Dlacing ordinary insulated wires such are
commonly used with copper tape This cop
per tape is surrounded by insulating oil.
Through this o$~ there are run coils of copper
tubing about +he-half inch in diameter and
through this tSbing cold water is circulated to
carry off the enormous heat which is devel-
oped. In the .ame room with the new magnet
is a vet newer invention-the product of gov
eminent scientists-which promises great
things 1t is known as vacuum gauge and 1t
will enable more minute and more accurate
measurement than has heretofore been posi-
BILE in the case OF a vacuum.
One of the most notable of Uncle Sans
scientific triumphs of the present year is the
new system of multiplex telephony mentioned
above and which by its disclosure OF method
of transmitting number Of telephone mes
sages simultaneously over the same wire Is ex-
pected to greatly reduce the cost OF long dis
lance telephone conversation. In connection
with the development of this new form or tel
ephony which will make one wire do the work
of ten Major Squier and his associates have
carried on some experiments which, though
originally intended only as means TO an ehd
now promise to have distinct value or their
own in disclosing the possibilities of transmit
ting music by telephone.

FSH ERIDAN'S WILD RIDE
Return Trip From Winchester to

eran-Soldiers Asleep.

Gen. Philip Sheridan's famous ride
from Winchester, Pa, to the battle
line at Cedar Creek, Va, was not one
of twenty miles, as the poet has 1t
but of seventeen and fraction miles,
according to Charles B. Thomas, 422e

the returning general along the valley
nike for a distance of five miles
Mr.. Thomas had enlisted in the Fifth
New York cavalry and at the time OF
the ride was in one of the divisions
under General Sheridan's command.

ing the story, 'in company with
commissary sergeant. We had beer
ordered out on special duty, and we
had been separated from the rest Of
the cavalry. The line of battle was al
Cedar Creek, about five miles from
Newtown. Winchester was farther
along the pike in the other direction,
