LAYING A GHOST.
A Simple Solution to the Mystery of a
Haunted" House.

A Simple Solution to the Mystery of
"Haunted" House.
The mystery Of u haunted" house
was explained in a recent number of
Science. 1t was a large. handsome
structure in Bostons Back Bay district.
The trouble conferred in the third and
fourth stories, where the slumbers Of
servants and children were disturbed
by strange sensations.
1t was 4 common occurrence for them
to awake in the night with feeling Of
oppression, las if some one were tap
ping upon me-" Sounds also were
heard, as If some one were walking
about or overhead. Once child rush
ed screaming into the nurses room,
crying that Il man was waking him up
and asking why she let him frighten
him so. In the morning the children
were pale and sluggish, even cold wa
ter lacking its usual power to enliven
them.
Investigation at length revealed a
comparatively simple, mechanistic so
luton in the escape of a large amount
of furnace gas. Often the sulphur in
it was so strong as to make the eyes
water and to hurt the throat, while
the sensations of oppression were typi-
cal of carbon monOxide. The noises
may have been actual sounds coming
from an adjoining house, although any
noises at all would probably be exag-
gerated in the minds Of persons awak-
ened in the night while suffering from
poisonous gas.

cit is hard for a man from the coun-
try 10 understand theworkings of Con-
gress, y remarked Frank A. Hildebrand,
a lawyer of Council Bluffs, Iowa, at
the Shoreham hotel. 81 can realize
that here in Washington, the seat of
government, Congress is understood
and that members of that body are
not criticised for their laggard methods
of doing business. But out in the
rural districts the people cannota ppre-
ciale why 1t should require months of
precious time and the ex penditure of
many thousands of dollars to pass bills
that have been thrashed out for months
and months IN advance.
Take the currency measure, for in
stance. Congress seems to be having a
hard time reaching that stage where the
bill can be put through. Perhaps 1t is be-
cause the average member of Congress
doesn't know any more about the cur
rency than the average citizen. I'll adj
init l don't know, and l have not found
uuduy BcIsOuS WIZ W. COuuc uISCu5e IL
In a learned manner something after the
way a Western judge DIT fined murder
when he made his charge to the jury.
The Judge said:
Murder, gentlemen, is when a
man is murdered; the numbering is
what constitutes murder in the eyes of
the law. Murder, in short, is murder.
81 imagine that many of our friends
in Congress know just about as much
how to define the currency question as
this judge knew how to define murder.
We might wish that there were some
Davy Crocketts in Congress today.
You may remember that that sturdy
old pioneer of the plains, upon contem-
plating the performance of a long-wind-
ed member, whose prototype has not
vanished, whispered, sit down; you
are coming out of the same hole you
went In at n-Washington Post.
