SECRET OF LONGEVITY
Scientist Discovers Why Egyptians
Attained Great Age.

Philadelphia, Feb. lit was common
for the Egyptian noblemen in ancient
times to live no years but 1t has re-
NAMED until now for the real secret
of their longevity to be revealed by
Prof. w. Max Muller, of the University
of pennsylvania. Prof. Muller says
that pApyrus scrips discovered along
the Nile; and hieroglyphic inscriptions
on the walls of chambers in the pyra-
mfds show that it was the custom of
the noblemen of Egypt's palmy days
to have their numerous wives tickle
their feet and to drink 100 jars of beer
day.
The professor adds that the joyous
sensation of having his feet tickled by
a lot of wives may have been an i'm
portant factor in frightening noble
mans life. He fails to say what eff
feet the consumption of 100 jars or
beer a day may have had, perhaps be-
cause the size of the Egyptian beer
lar is not announced.

R0BS TRAIN in CHICAGO
A Lone Bandit Holds Up the "Stock-
. yards Special"

Chicago. Feb. IA bandit disguised
by handkerchief tied over the lower
part of his face, robbed the safe of an
express car here and escaped with a
bag of currency thought to contain
several thousand dollars. The car was
attached to a local special express
train of the Pennsylvania railroad The
bandit compelled the express messen-
ger to open the safe at the point of
a revolver. The conductor of the train
seized the thief but the man feIled
him with a blow of his fist He es-
capped apparently unhurt, although the
conductor recovered himself and fired
two shots after him.
The robbed train is known as the
''Stockyards Special 1t is used to
carry money and valuable express mat
ter between the Union stockyards and
the down town district. The bandit
evidently was familiar with the opera
ton of the train.
The loot obtained by the robber con-
sisted of two packages of railroad pay
checks, amounting to $4,000, billed to
Des Moines. 1t is feared that other
valuables were also taken, but this will
not be finally known until accounts
are checked over.

mittees will hold a second session ear
" next week before taking final &C
ton on the bill.
That Gordon bill, compelling gas
companies to furnish consumers not
less than SO per cent. pure gas ana
to maintain a pressure equal to Tour
ounces water column pressure through
all conduits, mains and pipes. was
recommended for passage in the house
committee of the whole Friday night.
The recommendation did not come
however until after the member from
Wyandotte had made stubborn tight
for the adoption of his measure
Things which Gordon would do to
Kansas gas companies which fail, re-
fuse or neglect to comply with the
proposed new law, are quite Sufhclent
to cause alarm to any energetic, am
bilious and thrifty corporation. Not
only does Gordon want almost abso-
IuteIv pure gas, but he wants plenty
of it, Failure to get these things, IN
der the terms of Gordon's bill pro-
videS that the downtrodden consumer
shall not be compelled to pay his
monthly gas bill but may have posi-
tive and absolute defense against any
claim for judgment in a court of COM
petent jurisdiction. The bill also pro-
vides that the utilities commission, the
state oil inspector and the state oil
inspectors deputies shall make regu-
lar inspection of the gas pressure and
supply. Where breaks occur in gas
mains or pipes, the Gordon bill allows
the company "a hours-and no more
in which to make repairs and re-
establish the old pressure required I'M
der the proposed new law.

LOST ON ENGINE
Engineer Says Fog Hides Even
WhistIing Posts.
Men Who Guide Trains Must
Watch Closely.

Hutchinson. Kan. Feb I-Can a
railway engineer become lost in fog
with his train?
They not only can, but do. says w:
B. Baldwin, veteran engineer on this
division of the Missouri Pacific. En-
gineer Baldwin explains that it is very
easy for an engineer, while driving his
train through a fog, to lose his bear
ings, and become utterly lost.
Il was lost in a fog a few years ago
while pulling No. 1 on the main line
of the Missouri Pacific said Engi-
neer Baldwin. 1.-The sensation was just
the same as it would be if 1 were lost
in the pine woods of Michigan. L was
running about go miles an hour. At
ter passing a few objects which
could not locate, I reduced my speed
to 20 miles to be safe, as l was APP
preaching a junction and regular stop.
/ did not proceed very far after re-
ducing speed until 1 passed the first
switch lights in the yard, much to my
surprise.
eff I had not observed the rule, in
case of doubt take the side of safety,
might have had a serious accident,
for L could not have stopped the train
at the depot if I had passed the first
switch at speed of so miles an hour.
Headlight of No Use.
1.-The brightest headlight is of no
avail to pierce the darkness and gloom
winch Is hanging over the track ana
hiding all familiar objects from the
view of engineer.
AT times the fog becomes so dense
that it is impossible to see the rails
in front of the engine and there is
beautiful rainbow around the circle of
the light which is thrown out from
the headlight.
1.-The whistle posts, standing a few
feet from the end of the ties, can us
ually be seen but the engineer will
miss them occasionally and therefore
it is absolutely necessary to keep his
thoughts on his work during a heavy
fog to avoid the danger of getting
lost. 1t may appear strange to some
of you but engineer can get lost
in such weather. When he thinks he
has gone far enough to see the next
post and it does not appear he is I'M
easy until he passes an object which
he does recognize.
He knows by the rumbIing noise
made by the engine in passing over
a bridge that he has passed the whis-
tie post without seeing it, and is half
a mile beyond. There is one object
that will never deceive the engineer
even though his eyes were closed. it
is curve But there are MANY miles
of track without a curve and he must
depend on other Objects

SLEPT IN new CRAVE.
Grave Digger Yells When Coffin Is
Let Down on Him.

Winsted Conn.,, Feb. IA large
number of colored persons present at
the burial of Mrs. Alice Mary Murphy
in the Burrville cemetery, received a
fright that made some of them think
the corpse had come to life again.
Samuel jackson, one of the colored
grave diggers, was so tired after he got
through digging and so affected by
what he had taken to keep up his
shirts that he fell into the grave and
went to sleep.
Day was passing when the coffin was
lowered into its last resting place and
when the weight of the box rested on
Jackson he awoke with a yell that
scared the mourners. He was released
from the grave none the worse for his
experience.

herents of Kiamil Pasha, deposed
grand vizier. 1t is believed that he
will have scores of them shot.
Serious opposition to Enver Bey and
the young Turks has developed by rea-
son of the belief that the new COM
mander of the army has been intrigu-
ing with Germany to deliver Turkish
territory into German control. Enver
Bey has negotiated a $15,O0O,0O0 loan
from a German bank.
Enver Bey is a natural leader of men
and a soldier of proved ability. The
stubborn resistance of the Turkish
forces in Tripoli that opposed the
Italian conquest of that country was
due largely to his genius and deter
mination.

BUSINESS STAYS GOOD
Expansion Begun in 1912 Extends
Into the New Year.

New York, Feb. 1.-Dun's Review says:
The business expansion which began in
1912 was steadily maintained throughout
the first month of the new year and re-
ports from various sections continue
satisfactory. Weather conditions affect
distribution adversely in certain indus
tries and tariff uncertainty is responsible
for conservative buying in lines affected.
Labor troubles now apparently approach
ing adjustment have interfered with the
demand for materials used in the manu-
facture of clothing but the general effect
on dry goods trade is comparatively slight.
