The amended complaint in the case of
Maggie Pratt against Spencer Charles
Pratt for separation on the ground of
abandonment revealed a state of affairs
that created a decided sensation in a New
York courtroom the other day.
The
plaintiff in the case, although only 19
years old, has been married to the defend
ant four times, lias begun action for di
vorce as many times, and then discontin
ued the actions before they came to trial,
has begun an action to have her marriage
with Pratt declared null and void, has
sued the young man for breach of promlso
and has also figured as corespondent In a
■uit begun by the first Mrs. Pratt for di
vorce. As a climax to it all the lawyer
who brought the lin t of the suits against
Pratt on behalf of the alleged Mrs. Pratt
appeared as counsel for the young man he
bad once prosecuted and protested most
strenuously ngainst permission being giv
en to file the amended coinpluint.
The plaintiff's maiden name was Mag
gie Finncrty. The defendant is 24 years
old, and, according to Maggie, has an in
come of $30,000 a year, but this, he says,
is untrue. They were first married, says
the plaintiff, at Rahway, N. J , on May
12, 1892, both giving fictitious names.
She was dissatisfied with this ceremony,
and they were remarried on June 14,1892,
this time under their proper names, and
the marriage was duly witnessed.
In November, 1892, the defendant s legal
wife obtained an absolute divorce from
him, Maggie Finncrty being named as
corespondent.
In August, 1892, two
months before the grantingcf ;hedivorce,
the plaintiff says she learned for the first
time that the man she supposed was her
husband had another w i'o alive. Imme
diately after the decree of divorce had been
granted to the real Mrs. Pratt the plain
tiff went to Philadelphia with the defend
ant, where they mutually agreed to live
together as man and wife, or, in ether
words, entered Into a common law mar
riage. On July 4, 1893, the plaintiff and
defendant once more agreed to live togeth
er as man and wife and entered into a
contract to that effect.
Now comes Chicago, as usual, with a
case that far excels in novelty the matri
monial experiences of the New York cou
ple. Witness the following from the Chi
cago Tribune:
Mrs. Mary J. Dunley and J. S. Dunley
six times divorced and seven times mar
ried, wero united for the latest and they
say the last time by Justice Randall
White the other day. It was rather a sur
prise to the groom, for ho did not expect
to be one of tho chief parties to a wedding
when be came into court. Instead he ex
pected to answer to charges of assault and
battery and making threats to kill. The
charges had beon brought by Mrs. Dunley.
When the justice peered over his spectacles
and asked Mrs. Dunley to tell her tale of
woe, she replied by pulling a marriage li
cense from her shopping bag and asking
the court to marry her to the defendant.
‘ ‘ But I thought you were here to prose
cute him ," said the court.
• I would rather marry him,” said Mrs.
Dunley. “ You see, we've been married
off and on for the last 20 years, and I
don't see why we shouldn't get married
again.”
“ Humph! So you think marriage will
be sufficient punishment for him, do
MR. AND MRS. PRA TT.
you?” said the justice. “ I f you’re satis
fied, I am. But how about you, Dunley?
Do you want to marry this woman?”
“ Well, I don't know, judge,” said the
defendant, scratching his head in a doubt
ful manner. “ I ’ve paid for six divorces
already, and I don't want to pay for any
more.”
“ You won’t have to pay for anymore
divorces,” broke in the woman. “ You get
married now, and we’ll stick together. ”
Dunley still hesitated, and it took sev
eral queries from the court to secure an
answer from him. A t last he said medi
tatively, “ I guess It's just as cheap to get
married as It Is to pay a flue.”
“ You are willing to be married again to
this woman?” aske l the judge.
“ Well, yes, I guess so.”
The two then stood up before the bench
of the justice, and, joining hands, were in
quick sty e aga.n made man and wife.
The only hitch came when Justice
White asked Mrs. Dunley if she would
“ love, honor and obey” when remated.
“ W ill you obey him?” asked the justice.
There was a delay for a few minutes.
Then Mrs. Dunley said slowly,“ Well, yes,
mebbe, sometimes.”
I t was not very precise, but the court
and Dunley were satisfied. As soon as
the ceremony was ever Mrs. Dunley had
the charges against her husband dismissed.
Mr. Dunley Is 42 years old. The bride
Is 40 They were first married in Penn
sylvania nearly 20 years ago. They got
along pretty well for some time until
James, so Mrs. Dunley says, took to drink.
Then she left and secured a divorce.
Shortly after they met, made up and were
again married.
After another family
quarrel Mrs. Dunley got divorce No. 3 and
moved to Ohio. There they were again
married and divorce No. 3 was obtained.
Another wedding was celebrated in Mich
igan, and then the couple moved to Chi
cago. A divorce was one of the first things
they got in the Divorce City. Again they
decided to try married life. James was
doing pretty well In the coal business, but
not so well In wedlock, and divorce No. 5
was in order. Then he repented, and again
seeking his first love succeeded In induc
ing her to forgive him. Pretty soon they
disagreed, and divorce No. 6 was in order.
Mrs. Dunley was sure that she would nev
er again be married, and as she had the
coal business sho caused her name to be
Inserted in the city directory as “ Mary J.
Dunley, widow of James, coal, 1713 Dear
born street.”
Both Mr. and Mrs. Dunley say they
will not get another divorce. * The last
one cost $75,” said Mrs. Dunley, “ and I
won’t do it again. The lawyers h ave got
the last In money out of me that they are
going to.”
“ That's so,” chipped In the husband.

W hat was regarded by experts as the
most marvelous exhibition of card magic
ever seen at Philadelphia was given at
the Hamilton Whist club by Thomas B.
Arnold of C incinnati A formal recep
tion was given by the Hamilton club to
Mr. Arnold, who, in roturn for the hos
pitality tendered him, entertained his
hosts with a series of most remarkable
card tricks.
Mr. Arnold is a w ell known Cincin
nati business man, being a member of
the wholesale shoe firm of Alter, Jnlian
& Co.
He is not a professional magician, bnt
his tricks have mystified such men
trained in magic as K ellar and Herr
mann. He has refused fabulous sums
which have been offered him to go be
fore tho public as a professional, pre
ferring a quiet, domestic life to any no
toriety he might gain as a magician.
Mr. Arnold opened the eyes of his
witnesses by what he calls a very sim
ple trick. T w o new packs o f cards be
longing to the clnb were produced. Ha
had never seen them befora Shuffling
one deck, he held it out to one of the
gentlemen present, saying: "S elect a
card from this pack and then return it,
keeping the card in your mind. I w ill
turn my back to you as you make your
selection. One o f the other gentlemen
w ill take the second pack and throw it
on the floor. The only card that w ill
fa ll face upward w ill be the card se
lected by you. I w ill not touch either
one of the decks. ’ ’
The card was selected, and the gentle
man threw the second pack on the floor,
tho nine of diamonds being the only
card that fe ll face upward. “ That, ” ex
claimed Mr. Arnold, “ is the card y c
selected. ”
A cheer greeted the announcement
that that was correct.
“ Now, here is a good one, ” said the
entertainer. Pointing to Charles Yar-
nall, he continued: “ W ill you kindly se
lect a card in your mind? Do not men
tion its nama ”
When tho selection was made, he pick
ed up a pack, shuffled it carelessly, and
walking over to the w all threw the
cards at a picture. They fe ll in a show
er to the floor.
“ Turn the back of the picture out
w ard,” said Mr. Arnold. When this
was done, a card was seen sticking in a
crack in the back o f the frame. It was
the jack o f spades. “ That, sir, is the
card yon had in mind. ”
Mr. Yarnall acknowledged that it
was, and the crowd was convulsed.
Again, a member of the company was
asked to take a card in his mind. Four
others were asked to take cards at ran
dom from the pack and remember the
numerical value of the card. The spec
tator who drew the first card was told
to w rite the number on a sheet of paper.
The second man wrote the number of
bis card in a separate corner. The third
man placed his number under the sec
ond one and added the two together, a f
fixing the result to the first number. The
fourth man affixed the number o f his
card to the other two numbers. The re
sult was 374.
“ N o w ,” said Mr. Arnold, “ w ill two
gentlemen accompany me to the library,
each of them bolding one of my hands.
A third can come along to see fair play. ”
They returned bringing a book. ‘ ‘Turn
to page 874, ” ordered the entertainer
The book was opened at the page indi
cated, and a card was found. It was the
deuce of spades. “ That is your card,’
said Mr. Arnold to the gentleman he
bad asked to make a selection.
The statement was correct
Tho most remarkable trick of all was
the last Captain Walton, president of
the American W hist Players’ league,
was asked to draw a card from the
pack, replacing it and keeping the card
in his mind. Mr. Arnold took an egg,
selecting one at random from a half
dozen, and broke it into a tumbler. H
showed first that neither the shell no
the inner skin of the egg bad been bre
ken. N o card was concealed up hi
sleevo or anywhere about his person
When the egg was broken, a card was
seen in the tumbler, crumpled up and
covered w ith the yolk of the egg.
Drawing it out, Mr. Arnold asked,
"W h a t card did you draw, Captain
Walton?”
“ The queen of clubs. ”
“ There it is. ” The pack was search
ed and that particular card found miss
ing.
Although an expert on cards, Mr. A r
nold never played a game for a stake in
his life. “ 1 could make a fortune as a
gambler, ” said he, “ for 1 can d eala
man any hand 1 choose, but I wouldn’t
dare to play out in our wes.ern country,
for I would be shot sure as fa ta I don’ t
know what it is that enables me to dc
these tricks. I studied them all out my
self, but I can’t explain how or why 1
do them. ” — Philadelphia Times.

In a speech at Chicago in 1858 Lincolc
said:
“ My friend has said that I am a poor
hand to quote Scripture. I w ill try it
again, however. It is said in one of the
admonitions of our Lord, ‘As your Fa
ther in heaven is perfect, be ye also
p e rfe c t’ The Saviour, I suppose, did
not expect any human creature could be
perfect as the Father in heaven, but he
said, ‘ As your Father in heaven is jer-
fect, be ye also perfect. ’ He set that up as
a standard, and he who did most in
reaching that standard attained the
highest degree of moral perfection. So I
say in relation to the principle that all
men are created equal let it be as
nearly reached as w e can. I f we cannot
g ive freedom to every creature, let us dc
nothing that w ill impose slavery upon
any other creatura ” — Stoddard’s Tabic
Talk.

It was a saying of Hobbes’ that if he had
read as much as other men he would doubt
less have shared their ignorance. An ut
terance so bold could only afford to be made
by a man endowed with great capacities for
independent thought and possessed of the
grand arrogance of genius. Most of us, un
less we have fallen into the lamentable er
ror of believing that we are geniuses our
selves, have to be content with thinking
over again the thoughts of other and great
er minds than our own. Happily the ex
isting tendency toward shorter hours of
labor and the cheapening of books afford
more opportunity and increased facilities
for reading. As to what it is we should
read, much must be left to age and taste
and habitsof thought.—Chambers’ Journal.
THE COUSIN.
“ So you are going to be married?”
“ Yes.”
“ It is a love match, they tell me. Mile,
de Pont-Croix is a very charming girl.”
“ She is adorable. I love her with all my
heart and shall do my utmost to make her
happy.”
The other man, he who was not about to
marry, was silent for a few* moments. His
reflections seemed to afford him some
amusement. Suddenly he looked up. “ And
the marquise,” he said, “ what does she
think of it?”
Guy de Labanere’s face, already serious,
became gloomy at this query from his
friend Hertel, a lieutenant in the French
navy.
“ Perhaps,” hazarded the sailor, “ she does
not know yet” ----
“ Yes, I dare not tell her I am going to be
married.”
“ You dare not! You, the bravest of the
brave, the intrepid traveler, the hero of in
numerable duels!”
“ Brave?” repeated Labanere, administer
ing an exasperated punch to the pillow’s of
his divan; “ I, bra e? I am the worst of
cowards. A ll your preaching will not alter
matters—I am positively afraid of that
woman. I have shot a tiger just as he was
going to knock off my head as you would
brush a fly off the back of your chair. But
when I see her little pink fist, shaking her
polished nails w’ithin an inch of my eyes, I
am terror stricken, absolutely terror strick
en, and if there were a tree in her boudoir
I would try to climb it. Explain that, if
you can.”
“ I can explain it by the very simple fact
that you were not in love with the tiger,
while you were madly in love—and are so
still perhaps—with the Marquise Sansedo
□i.”
Labanere went over and laid his two
hands on his friend’s shoulders.
“ I will tell you how much I love her,” he
said. “ Last year while the cholera was
here she was ill for half a ' „. I cared for
her as was my duty as a man and a Chris
tian, but I hoped—do you understand? I
hoped that she would die. I do not deny
that I adored her for three years, for she is
the most charming woman, the most be
witching I have ever seen in my life. But
little by little her fits of anger, her jeal
ousies, her violent scenes, have estranged
me from her, while my increasing coldness
has not estranged her from me. Good Lord,
I would like to know what charm she finds
in such intolerable relations.”
“ Come, now!” cried the lieutenant, “ you
can’t let the matter drop now. You would
really be acting like a cad to keep her in ig
norance any longer.”
“ I don’t intend to, but I don’t know
what to do. I only know one thing, and
that is that one way or another this matter
must be settled. I have been thinking—
you have always been a good friend of
mine—now, if you would only go to her
and” ----
“ Never in the wide, wide world. I have
met the marquise, and I have no desire to
explode a mine. Besides, I do not admit
that it would do to send an envoy in such a
case.”
“ You see you are afraid ^ourself. Then
Listen. Do this favor for »me in another
wav. Come with me. In 'your presence I
would not dare to be a coward.”
“ So be it,” said Hertel, ‘ but on one con
dition—that we go at once. You must not
3tay in such a hole a day longer. After all
she will not eat you.”
An hour later the two friends presented
themselves at the house of the Marquise
Sansedoni. They found that lady raging
up and down her salon like a lioness in a
cage, and beautiful as a fury.
Without noticing their greetings, with
out thinking of making any pretense, she
sprang to the table, caught up a paper aud
chrust it under poor Labanere’s nose.
“ What does this mean?” she demanded
in a voice of ill suppressed anger.
If his courage left him, Labanere at least
retained his coolness. He placed his hat
carefully on the table, drew out his glasses,
took his time about finding the place and
slowly read aloud these lines:
“ ‘The engagement is announced of the
Vicomte de Labanere to Mile. Marguerite
ie Pont-Croix. The Labaneres are one of
the oldest families of Picardy,” etc.
The reading lasted two minutes, during
which the marquise remained erect, trem
bling, her hands clinched, her nostrils
quivering, and looking so terrible that
Hertel wondered if she had a dagger and
it the first word would stab Labanere tc
the heart. The lieutenant watched tht
Sansedoni’s every movement; but, the read
ing finished, Labanere folded the paper,
placed it on the table, removed his glasses,
put them in his pocket and spoke.
“ Aha,” he said tranquilly, “ so the pa
pen* have got hold of it, eh? I thought it
was still a family secret. Well, yes, my
cousin is going to be married. A good
match too. You know the little Pont
Croix, Hertel?”
In his astonishment the lieutenant was
in the point of betraying all, and the mar
quise was not the woman to swallow the
first story she was told.
“ So,” she said to Guy, still on the of
Eensive, “ all the men are vicomtes in your
family?”
Guy was simply superb. He entered into
\ lengthy discourse on heraldic science to
explain the case. “ And so, you see,” he
concluded, “ Gontran and I Loth bear th e
same title, but Gontran is the younger. He
Is 28 at the most. That is about right, isn’t
it, Robert? You ought to know, for my
cousin served with you, I believe.”
“ Not more than that certainly,” said
HerteL
This reply—which was a “ whopp>er” —dis
sipated all doubt from the marquise’s
cnind for the present and f-or the f ut ure. She
regarded Hertel as the soul of honor aud
esteemed him highly. The mystery ex
plained, she gave him a most cordial recep^
Jon and reproached him for coming to see
ler so seldom. It was perfectly apparent,
aowever, that she would have liked to ask
aim what had put it into his head to visit
ler on that particular day.
When the two friends were in the street
again, out of range of all suspicious glances,
Labanere stopped, and the lieutenant did
likewise. In spite of everything Labanere
wanted to laugh; the sailor was angry as
only a sailor can be.
“ I shall not be able to go home without
having a fight with some one—I ’d like to
kick myself, for I have lied to that woman
like a pickpocket.”
“ Well, fight it out with ‘Gontran, your
former subordinate.’ Come, be calm, I
won’t joke any more. But never be sur
prised again when a man says he is afraid
of a woman. You know what it is now.”
“ Yes, and may the devil fiy away with
pie if I ever get caught in such a pickle
again. To think that a woman could make
a man act so.”
The crisis was passed for the present, but
t he explosion must come one day or another.
It would have been impossible for Guy to
lontinue to play his double role so long as
he did if chance had not aided him. Every
year the marquise’s mother came to Paris
for a few weeks and staid with her daugh
ter, who naturally modified the habits of her
household to a considerable extent.
Free, or almost so, Labanere could tran
quilly and honestly attend upon his fiancee
and could even accompany her on some of
her shopping expeditions. One day as they
were choosing some jewels at Ravaut's who
should enter the shop but the Marquise
Sansedoni and her mother. The marquise
gave Marguerite such a look that the poor
girl felt a cold chill run up her back. The
Sansedoni marched boldly up to Labanere
and gave him her hand, fixing him with her
eye, for a suspicion had again entered her
mind.
“ What treasures?’ she said, not caring
if she were overheard. “ It seems to me,
my dear vicomte, that you are doing the
thing in style.” As she spoke she kept her
eyes steadily on the young girl.
“ I f I don’t get out of this,” thought Guy,
“ in five minutes there won’t be a whole
window left in the shop.”
But he did get out of it. With the steady
nerve that had distinguished the former
tiger hunter, he replied in a loud tone, “ It
is no credit to do things in style when one
is not acting on one’s own account.”
To Marguerite and her mother this meant.
“ This parure is the wedding gift of my old
aunt, who has commissioned me to pur
chase it for her.” For the marquise it sig
nified, “ I am here in the stead and place of
my cousin.”
This was, in fact, the explanation he gave
her later more in detail, not without hav
ing taken the precaution to beguile the
marquise into a corner of the shop. He
told her that Gontran, having been com
pel led to go to his lawyers to see about
some legal papers, had charged him to ac
company Mile, de Pont-Croix to the jewel
er’s. The story was accepted, and the two
Italians left, after having made a pretense
of looking at some rings, and Guy rejoined
his future “ cousin.”
“ Goodness, what a terrible woman!”
Marguerite exclaimed. “ She quite terri
fied me. I do hope you will not want me
to meet her.”
“ You may rest easy on that score,” re
plied Labanere.
But for him to rest easy was not so sim
ple. The days flew by, and the bans were
published. Happily the presence of her
mother absorbed the marquise’s time and
made her visitors few’. Those who knew
the state of affairs believed that she had ac
cepted Guy’s marriage and was consoling
herself with filial devotion.
He, after repeating every day for two
months, “ I will tell her tomorrow,” finally
began to wonder, as he saw how events
shaped themselves, “ What if I don’t tell
her at all?”
Undoubtedly his inaction was not com
mendable. But Labanere had for a long
time hated the marquise cordially, and 01
the other hand he was absolutely deter
mined on his marriage w’ith Marguerite.
But of what extravagance w as not the mar
quise capable at the last moment.
On the eve of his wedding, the very morn
ing before it, in fact, be was still debating
the question, when he received a letter, the
handwriting of which made him tremble.
It ran:
M y m o th er is to be a w a y a ll d a y —shall w e
have luncheon together? I cou nt on you. I t is
w eeks since I h ave h ad you a ll to m yself.
“ Would to heaven that the old Italian
had put off her absence for 24 hours,” mut
tered labanere as he proceeded to indite
the following note:
Do you not read the papers nowadays? M y
cousin is to be m a rried tom orrow , and o f
course I am to be one o f the w eddin g part y.
A ft e r the cerem o n y th ere a re the reception
and w ed d in g b rea k fa st a t the P o n t-C ro ixs’.
W h en can I escape? I do not know’, bu t as
soon as 1 a m fre e I sh a ll post o ff to you.
“ A t any rate,” he said as he sealed the
note, “ unless death or divorce comes to the
rescue, she will wait a longtime for me.”
A t 7 o’clock the following evening the
newly married pair left for Italy. In a day
or two they had become great friends, so
much so that Guy made certain confidences
to Marguerite—W’hich was indeed no more
than prudent.
“ Do you remember,” he asked, “ that tall,
dark woman who spoke to me at Ravaut’s
and frightened you so?”
“ Yes, indeed. I can see her now. But
why!'”
“ Well, she did me the honor to—to as
pire to the place you now occupy, and if
some day she meets us and show's a bad
temper you must not be surprised nor
frightened. It will be a compliment to my
adroitness after all.”
The young vicomtesse was not entirely
ignorant of the world, and knowing what
to understand by what her husband called
the marquise’s “ ambition to fill her place’
she burst into tears. Then Guy to nmi^e
her laugh, which did not take long,, qh J
her the story of his imaginary cousin, f
“ Oh, splendid!” she cried. “ That hateful
woman had got just her des^ts. And if
she dares show herself to me I shall sywply
freeze her.”
'
But Mme. de Labanere did not remember
to freeze the marquise w hen, some weeks
later, they met. It w as in a dim corner of
the Cascine at Florence. Guy and his wifi
were seated on a bench, very close to each
other. He even had his arm around Mar
guerite’s waist and the other hand undei
her chin, which she held up as he kissed
her.
Suddenly the Marquise Sansedoni stood
before them, tall, dark, scowling, terrible
and when the little vicomtesse had recov
ered herself a little the Italian pointed her
finger at Labauere and demanded:
“ Do you know what your husband was
madame?”
The deep voice, the tragic gesture, tht
pale and angry face, gave Marguerite tht
most acute terror she had ever felt in hei
life. Perhaps this big woman had come tt
kill her—her aud Guy I She lost her head,
wanted to say something, got confused and
finally stammered:
“ This isn’t my husband, madame; it’s his
cousin!”
Even the marquise could not repress a
>mile at this astonishing statement. Then
he smile disappeared, her eyes grew’ moist,
md dropping a veil over her features shi
hurried away, murmuring the single wort
‘Ingrato!” —Translated for Argonaut fron
the French of Leon de Tinse.iu by L. S. V.

The Boston Journal gives- various
theories as to the meaning of the word
“ dingbats. ” One writer who spent his
boyhood in Maine thinks it means tc
spank, because his mother when getting
ready to use the slipper threatened to
put the “ dingbats” on him. From W il
barham academy comes the explanation
that it means the breakfast biscuit,
which the students dispose of by stick

throwing it at the heads of other stu
dents or eating i t A Connecticut pupil
states that to receive punishment at the
hands of the teacher is known as “ get

phians agreed that it means money, as
in the sentence, “ I ’ ve got the dingbats
for i t . ”
But N ew Hampshire agrees
with Maine that it means spanking,
and so the m ajority appears to side with
the maternal slipper. It is from such

There have been placed on exhibition
in the Bahylonian room o f the British
mnsenm some very fine specimens of
Babylonian bronze castings. These in
teresting specimens of early metal work
come from a place known to the an
cients as Sir-pur-ra, or Lagash, the
modern name c f which is Tell-lo, a
large mound or site in southern Chal
dea. One of the- bronzes shows the king
of Babylonia, who appears clean shav
en, in tho dress of the high priest The
garment reaches down to the feet and
is crossed over the left shoulder, leav
ing the right arm, which is raised, bare.
The statnette is a full length one, stand
ing on its own donhle plinth, and is
some 12 inches high. This bronze comes
from Abn Habbab and dates about B
C. 2200 A second statnette represents
a king in the attitude of adoration or
contemplation, haring his hands raised
and clasped together in a similar man
ner as the god Nebo is represented. The
king wears a long, flowing beard, but
no costume can be traced. This figure is
not fa ll length, being cut off abont the
calves, aud represents probably the
Chaldean king, Gndea, B. C. 2500.
Tho third figure, which stands seven
inches high, represents Camil-Sin, king
of Babylonia, in the character of a basket
bearer, both arms being nplifted and
supporting a basket borne on the head.
The date of the figure is about B. C.
3200. It is supposed that these statuettes
may have been dedications to Ningirsn,
the fire god, whose worship was a par
tionlar cult at Tell-lo.
The art of making bronze casts was
known to the Babylonians from very
early times, and many examples are to
be seen in the British mnsenm as w ell
as in the Lonvre. A plaster cast of a
Babvloniau qneen, taken from the o rig
inal in the Lonvre, stands by the side
of the new additions, casts of which
have been sent to the French museum

Here are some odd opinions concern
ing the force of tho electric current
given by Dr. C. F. Chandler before the
Columbian School of Mines: “ An inter
esting misapprehension which exists in
the minds of many people is one con
cerning the vital dangers which lurk in
the pressure of, say, 1,000 volts. The
newspapers often tell of a man who has
been killed from
such a pressure,
whereas, in fact, such a pressure aloue
could not k ill a humming bird. I have
frequently caught in my hand sparks
assessing an electro m otive power of
100,000 volts without feeling anything
more than a very slight burn. The dan
ger arises only when the volts are re
enforced by a good many ampheres or
nrrents. In such a case ttje force of the
■urreut suddenly decomposes all the
fluids in the body. The salt in the blood
instantly turns to chlorine gas, and the
person who has his veins charged with
such a deadly poison cannot be expected
to liv e many seconds. ” — St. Louis Be

Most people imagine that pnenmatic
tires are novelties of recent invention,
and yet they were actually used on Eng
lish roads nearly 50 years ago. W e read
that “ at the Bath and west of England
agricnltnral show, held at Guilford, a
conple of carriage wheels were shown
fitted with pneumatic tires. These were
made by May & Jacobs for the Duke o '
Northumberland 47 years ago, bnt the
carriage proving too heavy for the horse
they were disused. The tires were con
structed on almost exactly the same
principle as those in use on cycles today
— an inner air chamber, with a stronger
outer cover. When punctured, they
were repaired by the same means as now
adopted. ” — Hardwara
