A NEW SUN MOTION.
Professor Stevenson Has Completed a "Won
derful Invention After Years of Labor.
Professor E. E. Stevenson, a well
known educator and writer of Quincy,
Mass., announces tlie completion of an
invention on which he has been laboring
for years, which, he says, will revolu
tionize the present methods of obtaining
motive power. Professor Stevenson has
pursued his investigations and experi
ments in Quincy all winter and has at
last brought his idea to a head. Profess
or Stevenson said: "The forces which
have thus far been utilized by the genius
cf man are the laws of gravitation and
chemical reaction. In the broad iield of
research and investigation we find the
possibilities of the future in molecular
attraction, musical vibration and the re
fraction of light.
"To understand the theory on which I
have been laboring you innst-understand
the corelation of forces or the transmu
tation of energies. 7e use force to pro
duce light. It is upon the reverse of
this theory that I h ive labored, and my
experiments are at last proving satisfac
tory. I have found that the heat of an
ordinary kitchen stove generates energy
sufficient, if controlled, to drive the ma
chinery of the Pillsbury mills, and the
flames of a Cunson electric burner would
furnish power to light by electricity 1,000
lights."
In ProTesw.r Stevenson's experimental
machine, however, the heat of the sun
alone has been used. This machine con
sists of three brass cylinders connected
by means of tubes and valves with a
glass reflector behind the central cylin
der. A piston moving laterally connect
ing with a balance wheel gives the mo
tion. The Khaft on which the balance
wheel hangs passes through the end of
the machine and contains a drive pulley,
which) makes the force available. This
machine is operated by the sun, working
with great rapidity. Boston Journal.
SOMETHING IN THIS NAME.
' But the Man IVhoxo Property It Is Wishes
Ke Had Not Itecallcd It.
The mystery that has been surround
ing the identity of David Draughn has
been solved and in a way that is likely to
give David much trouble. Draughn was
several weeks ago dragged from the rail
road tracks in the south end of the city
just , in time to save him from being
mangled. It was then discovered that
he had been beaten almost to death. He
was carried to the Graiy hospital, and
when he recovered physically it was
found that his mind was a perfect blank
as to past events so much so that ho
even did not know his own name.
Finally under the care of the surgeons
there came back inklings of the past, and .
one day last week he electrified every
body about the hospital by rushing about
and declaring he ' 'had it." He had caught
what he said was his last name. lie was
taken by detectives up into North Caro
lina, and at Culberson, near Murphy, he
found friends, but he was not Draughn,
at least not there. He had been known
there as Dr. F. D. Heath and had lived
there for several months last summer,
but Heath and Draughn are one and the
same man, and it developed that under
the former name ho has three living
wives. One lives in Sslem, Ko. 2 in
Ashevillo and No. 3 in Erysou City, Va.
His mother, Mrs. Frank Earr, the wife
of a printer, also lives near Silcm. IIo
will be prosecuted for bigamy and. is
very sorry he lias found out who Lo is.

A Loaded Fjirtn.
For many years asr.ndy raotind on the
H. A. Maize farm, just south of this
city, has been known as the hiding place
of the fox. This winter the animals have
been nnnsnally nnmerons and created
havoc in the henneries. The losses be
came so great that ' the farmers held a
meeting and decided to blow up the
mound and rid themselves of the pests.
A large quantity of dynamite was pur
chased, and four largo charges were put
into the ground. For some reason tho
fuses failed to discharge the explosive,
and the stuff is now buried in the mound.
The mound is one of the most productive
spots on tho farm, and as .the farmer
does not know just where the dynamite
lies he is in a pickle to know what to do,
as he is afraid to dig into the mound for
fear he may strike tho stuff and send
himself to kingdom como. The owner
of the farm insists that the dynamite ;
Auuoi uo auuuu, aa tie rtfa-iizes tiiac me
fact of it being buried on the farm is go
ing to hurt the sale of the farm or for
ever render several acres of his best land
valueless. Wooster (O.) Dispatch.
Hot In Aastraliu.
The weather in Australia during the
antipodean summer has been unusually
hot and oppressive. In Adelaide during
January the thermometer several titne3
registered over 100 degrees in the shade,
and one day it climbed to 107 in the
shade and 163 in the sun. In Melbourne
the 100 notch has been reached more than
once, and the scorching north winds have
made the atmosphere exceedingly op
pressive. The foregoing figures are from
weather observatory readings, and prob
ably do not represent by several degrees
the temperature of the city streets.
Melbourne Letter.
Rich When In His Cops. 1
A citizen of Atlanta recently visited
the tax collector's office for the purpose
of paying his taxes. He was asked to
make returns for this year.. He did so.
According to his statement, he owned
$3,000 worth of stocks and bonds. He
was notified that he owed the city $26.13.
A few days later he sent a petition to the
mayor and city council in which he says:
"I gave in my taxe3 in 1893 when ! was
intoxicated. I returned stocks, bonds
. and soch like to the assessor when, as a V wmch was Plaltl by Princess Bea
hi.ikr nf Var-t t t,TOi. ma o,.i,; ' trice s own hands. It is said to be a re-
of the kind. Had I not been intoxicated
I would never have made. such return.''
The. petition was. granted, and the man
was released from his excessive valua
tion. Baltimore Sun.

" An 'iteWestin'g "discovery"
An Adventurous Miner Hans Onto a Strange
Prehistoric City.
Manvillo "W. Cresworth, an English
mining man well known throughout
southwest Mexico, arrived at Marimi.
I Mexico, recently from a long "overland
j journey through the Sierra Madre moun
j tains, his starting point being Culicah,
near . tho Pacific coast, in the state of
Sinaloa. Ho claims to have visited a
section of country never before visited
by a white man of the present genera
tion, and that ho discovered a large and
beautiful deserted city.
Ue told the correspondent that the
wonderful city is situated about SO miles
west of Lake Colorado, in the recesses cf
the Sierra Madrcs. It occupies a basin
about 10 miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin
on all sides, rising to a height of hun
dreds of feet. The only entrance to the J
city is through a deep canyon, which has
a width of about 80 feet. Mr. Cresworth
states that he stumbled onto the secret
entrance quite by accident. He gives a
vivid description of the deserted city.
The buildings, he says, are construct- '
ed of redstone blocks resembling granite, j
The business blocks are two and three :
stories in height and are entirely differ- j
ent in architectural design from tho ;
structures built by the Aztecs aud Span- j
iards. The streets are very narrow, but 1
are laid out in regular order. In tho city
is a small park which is bvergrown with
rare fiowera and tropical vegetation. Ho
entered the business houses and decay- 1
ing residences, but found very littla of j
value except some remarkable and
strange ornaments made of stone.
He beiievts that the city was looted at
tho time that it was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records or writ
ings of any kind were found, nor did he
discover a:iy skeleton that would give
an idea its to tho race cf puoxlu who at
one time inhabited the eit3 None'of tho
natives of Xai-i section of country had
ever heard of tbo deserted city. Mr.
Cresworth is making diligent inquiry of
them. Mr. Cresworth's story is very
startling fend remarkable, but it is be
lieved by those to whom he has related
his experiences. He will organize an ex
pedition to make a thorough exploration
cf the city. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
HE VEARS RU23ERS."
A New S:a.-:t; I!ir:iso 1Yhicli lias Caught on
In tho H'leiroiioli.
During a recent discussion between a
newspaper man a'r.d State Senator Owens
of Brooklyn on tho iierits of a third per
son the senator said: "Why, that man is
no good. He's not even 'decent. The
fellow wears rubbers."
The newspaper man was at a loss to
understand the senator's meaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in the
slang of the day said nothing. , The nest
day he approached a well known poli
tician and asked him about it.
"What does it mean when you speak
of a man as weariug rubbers?" he said.
"Jly boy," said the politician, "that is
tho very latest slang expression. It sim
ply means that a man is a sneak; that,
figuratively speaking, he approaches you
with muffled tvet. If you go into any
police museum 111 the country, one of the
things they'll show yoa is the' rubber
shoe that the sneak thief or the assassin
uses. It is an ordinary tennis shoe, with
a rubber sole and a canvas upper, and
the only reason it is worn 1 y crooks is
because it gives thi-.m an opportunity to
cre;.'p up behind their victim without
being heard."
Another new bit cf slang is, "lie
doesn't cut any ice." It simply means
that he or she, whichever Eex is referred
to, plays no part. Doth of these expres
sions are almost brand new, and the
first, at least, is likely to become much
in vogue with people who "like to piece
out their vocabulary with slang. Brook

London's Fd For Eating Salt.
Coming home upon the underground
the other evening, I read in an evening
paper of a new habit which threatens to
decimate us the salt habit. People
carry salt crystals about with them, at
which they continually nibble. In time
they lose their hair and eyelashes. Look
ing up from my paper suddenly, I saw
this startling intelligence confirmed. A
man in the opposite comer laid down
his evening paper (it was the best even
ing paper), and took a small nacket from
waistcoat pocket, which ho un
screwed. It contained a white granular
substance. Taking a pinch between his
finger, and thumb, ho swallowed it.
"Escuso me, sir. Is that salt?" I asked,
leaning forward excitedly. Ho Bmiled
and pointed to tho article (in the paper).
"Have some?" ho said. I took it. Pall

I An Angry Executioner.
! Deibler, the French executioner, is said
to bo the angrie.; man in Paris. A
prisoner in the Eoquette jail, under sen
tence of death, committed suicide after
M. de Paris had specially sharpened
the knife for his No. 17 neck. Then the
executioner is much disappointed be
cause he has not received the ribbon of
the Legion of Honor in common with
all others who have distinguished them-
' selves in the suppressiorf of anarchists.
He argues that he risks his life more than
the man who drives the bomb wagon,
who has been decorated. Paris Letter.
A Late Fad of Royalty.
The latest fad among the ladies of the
English royal family,, including, it is
said, the queen herself is to beguile the
winter hours by plaiting straw for the
fabrication of hats to be presented to
their sons and husbands at the approach
ing season. A well known hatter has
just finished a handsome straw hat for
Prince Henry of Uattenberg, every inch
markably delicate piece of workman
