Well, sir, looked over his plans
and | saw right away that he had
made a wonderful discovery. And
then | tried to find out what was
wrong with his phone, and | soon
found it, He had an Old tin gn
with his name on it hanging out in
front, and it got rusty, and he had
new one painted and brought the
old sign in the shop and hung it on
the rear wall over his telephone.
When his front door opened and shut
it caused a draught of air. and the
tin sign hanging on the wall swung
back and forth, and occasionally
it would get caught in the two bind
ing posts that stuck up above the
telephone and would short-crcuit it
so the telephone would not work I'M
til the door would open and another
draft would swing it free.
Stronger was not much of an art
ist, and his drawings We're very
crude, but he had a good idea all
right. He proposed to me that if

get them in shape so he could apply
for a patent he would give me 10000
shares of stock in the company he
intended to organize to put his in

convenience of the passengers, but
for their safety. The hull is divided
by steel bulkheads into SO watertight
compartments, which are still further
divided by steel decks, giving the
ship cellular construction through

enough to accommodate everyone
aboard Two of these lifeboats are
motor driven and are designed for
towing the others.
Several of the original features of
the "Imperator" are shown in illus

famous Pompeian hall in the Louvre

TOWING A LOCOMOTIVE
WITH AN AUTOMOBILE

The average automobilist, who
power of his car, would perhaps have
better notion of this if he had
been a witness of a rather unusual
test in California. A 40 horsepower
touring machine weighing 1000
pounds, was attached, by means Ct
a strong cable to a 110-ton loco
motive. The cable ran from the
axle of the car to the cowcatcher
of the locomotive. The start was
made from dead standstll For
some time the motor car gr0aned,
and vibrated to no avail. The wheels
refused to find a purchase and slip
ped around and around Finally,
half dozen men We're put into the
car to do duty as ballast. This ad-
ditional weight had the desired eff
feet. With slow reluctance the
wheels of the monster in tow be-
gan to revolve, and the automobile
had achieved the seemingly impos-
sible task of drawing so tremendous
weight.
No injury to the car resulted from
this great and unusual strain, and
for some distance over the rails the
mass of iron obediently tagged aft
er its puny pilot.
The demonstration was made by
an automobile agent to show what
really powerful machine the motor
car of today is.-Scientific American

 work of such well known authors as

 playwright, has entered new field
 and has made good at the start. The
 picture is Virie. absorbing and highly
 dramatic. Throughout the two reels
 the interest never flags for an in
 stant. Marion Durand's foster brother
 young artist whom she had not seen
 for years comes to visit her. and her
 husband. without cause becomes in
 sanely jealous. The artist paints Mrs.
 Durand's portrait, an excellent like
 ness and presents it to her. Her hus-
 band imagines she is in love with her
 foster brother. and in q very dramatic
 scene. cuts the picture to shredS. An
 encounter between the two men follows
 and a duel is arranged. Marion. in an attempt to stop the duel rushes upon the scene just as the artist fires. and ne accidentally shoots her dead. Af- fecting. in the extreme is the scene where MariOn's small daughter comes into the room to find her mother dead The artist. heartbroken. escapes. and the father trains his child to revenge her mothers death. keeping her gnor- ant of the true details fo the tra gedy In the second part we see the child grown into budding wOmanhood just the type of girl to play the siren who is to lure the artist to his doom. With hX- flth har cho
 meets the artist and asks him to paint her portrait. The plan works well and not suspecting her identity he falls in love with the girl. When her triumph is complete she discovers. in a dramatic moment that she is in love with the man she has been taught to hate. Her | father sees this also and in fury of rage grapples with the artist. Both are insane with anger and terrible struggle follows. ObIivious to all about 1 them they overturn the lamp and, with the house burning about them still con- i tinue their mad fight. This fire scene | is most realistic It holds one spell l bound. The battling men finally real ! ize their danger and the artist escapes 1 but Mir. Durand is pinned beneath a i falling timber and perishes in the 1 flames. The artist saves the life of the ! girl he loves. thereby losing his reason. ! She has learned the truth now and her ! efforts to restore his sanity are pa 1 thetic. AS a last resort she plays and 1 sings, as she did when winning his love, l The Hours l Spent with Thee. Dear 1 Heart, Are As String of Pearls to | Me" This has the desired affect. his | reason returns and happiness for both 1 follows. This picture will be repeated

NOT LAUNDRY MAN

Robert s. Fisher Makes Correction of

A great furor has been stirred up by the innocent announcement in Sunday mornings Republican that Robert $ Fisher had joined Guy H. Lawrence in the laundry business A large number of people who were personal friends of Mr Fisher have been thronging his home and office and imploring him to take their ''Washee" While a number of friends of MT Lawrence, deplored the fact that he was no longer the sole pro pI ietor. have been offering him their condolences upon that fact. A re porter of The Republican interviewed Nh. Fisher yesterday and obtained lie following statement:

BODY OF MAN
 IN FRAGMENTS
Unknown Came to Manglcd Death Under S. F. P. X P. Train Northwest of Alhambra on Monday Night

The dismembered body of an un known man scattered along the santa fe Prescott x Phoenix track short distance north of the Alhambra brick yards mortified the engineer and fire man of an early train out of Phoenix yesterday morning The train reach ed the point where the fragments were discovered a little before eight o'clock and a message was sent back to the railroad offices which com municated with the sheriffS office.
 Coroner Johnstone with a jury went out and viewed the remains and it Nin be long time before they will forget what they saw The body was cut in two; one side of the jaw was crushed. The shoes had been torn from the feet but there were no marks of injury on the latter. A piece of canvas. evidently part of the mans clothing was found upon the pilot but how it got there is not easily understood This bloody pie ture was made the more forbiddine hy the long black whiskers and hair of the dead man.
 II is thought that he met his death under the 10:45 train of night before last and that he either fell from the train while stealing a ride or per haps, threw himself in the way of it. The suggestion of suicide came from the circumstance that among the ar ticles found in the vicinity of the track was a bottle of cyanide of po- tassium which bore the label of Con boys drug store.
 The man was apparently thirty live or forty years of age. There were no letters or papers afturdne q clue 10 his identity but there was q card indicating that he was a mem ber of the l. ". W. and there was d circular advertising the coming to Phoenix soon of Jos J. Ettor. the l. w. w. leader
 The man had $2.55 in nickels and dimes, file, pair of plyers md a razor. Inquiry at the drug store brought out that a man answering the description of the dead man the day before had bought the cyanide of potassium there and a roll of band ages. It was stated that he had at different times bought bandages there but his ssme was not learned.
