THE FIRST FOLDING BED.
It Was Patented by a Western Man
and Was Unlike the Beds of
i Today.
No invention of modern times so
filled ithe oroverbial longrfelt want as
did the fold in sr bed." These are the
words of Robert C. Gill, head of the
Washiincrton.
The i particular. model to which he re
ferred was a crude form of a collapsi
hle hedsteid. But that rude bed cut in
sections and hinged -so that, it might
fold into compact -form, contained tne
germ of an idea, and to that is owed
the useful cabinet folding bed of today.
The iinentor of the folding bed was
one James A. Johnston, a Westerner
man to whom patent No. 17.28 .as
granted on May 12, 1857. No provis
ion wa made in the bed for the storing
of the mattress, pillows and bed clothes
as is common in the folding bed of to
day. Also unlike the modern contriv
ance; hich when folded resembles a
bureau, chiffonier or other similar piece
of furriiture, the folding bed patented
by Johnston made, no pretence of look
ing Jiki anything other than just what

markable, but then their church; itself
is remarkable " It was standing in the

it has had many owners, the present

fact that the sheriffs" of the county j an

It would be interesting to know wheth

.1
Capt. S- B." Ormsbyi superintendent
of the Cascade forest reserve. one of
the largest ofi the government reserves
in the United States,, is now busily em
ployed in writing his report to the in-"
terior department, regarding the -grazing
of sheep on the reserve. This is
his third report on the subject &ince he
was appointed superintendent one be-
jug rcquircu mc . ucaiimni
vear. and when asked about the work.
esterday,,he said that he would prob
ably wear out the subject, it tne sub
ject did not wear him out. ", The re-
port wm. oe a most voluminous auur,
and will go into details' regarding .the
erazinsr of sheep on the reserve: the ef
fects on the growth of timber and un
derbrush;- the effects' on the raintall,
floods, etc., and a variety of other sub
jects. : the wnting- of these reports,
by the various superintendents of the
reserves, is the direct -re.alt of '.he c
Slant efforts of the scientists ;lo exclt'de
sheep from the reserves, from the fact
that it is "supposed . that, when every
thing else, gives out, they turn savagely
on the pine.
rThe report will include a variety of
sbbjects. and details, such as the num- :
ber of sheep seeking the different res
ervations; duration of the grazing sea
son; the locality, extent 3nd fr-n -1
course of . ranging, the damage done to
the forests on the -reserves, which in
cludes killing the undergrowth by
browsing, trampling it outand injur

While Captain Ormsby did not -say
what his conclusions would be On th
various points involved, it is not likely
that he will agree with the
regarding the distructiveness
of the
sheen .n the reserves .in view of the
fact fhat the superintendent has long be. - It is also proposed, according io
bcen a resident of Oregon, and forj some union laboring men, to call Jhc
many years a breeder of siveep;' in ad- j attention jof the state- factory inspector.,
ditioo to that, he has travelled thous-.. to the- fact that girls 1 ranging in age
ands of miles n the reservesy; during from 14 to 18 are working in a factory
the past three years, studying the ques- among meiv and boys.; '
Efforts' of a rather well-known sci
entist to showman affinity between som
nambulism and - hypnotism 1 are Tiot
meeting with - much encouragement.
He holds that somnambulism is a mod
ified hypnosis,, and argues that sleep
walkers, so-called,, have no more mem
ory of their4 somnambulistic deeds than
subjects under; the influence of hypno
tism, , . '
But in opposition to his arguments
cases have been adduced vhere the
sleep walkers were able to; give;, alter
walking fairly accurate accounts of
their experiences and sensations. So
this, it is concluded, 'shows conclusive
ly that somnambulism and hypnotism
are two entirely distinct conditions.
The discussion reminds the writer of
an experience which, an Edinburg law

with the herders, ankl closely observing; -the

than ever imbued with the idea that the

the views of the scientists at; the; na-

compartrhent toi himself. The train
had not been long on its journey before
the young; man was sound asleep. But
he imagined that he was awake, and, .
moreover,, that He"fc'aS imprisoned in
the little anchor -chain compartment of s
the steamer. The vessel was under
way, he thought; and moving more ;
rapidly than hef had. evef .known a
steamer to move before. . . ' .
? His first idea was to go on deck at
once, but he could tiot get out of the
cell-like chamber. He could not stand
erect: even, the compartment was. so;
little, as he found out at the cost of an,
imaginary bumped head,' -when he 'at
tempted to rise. Then, to his surprise,
he found that the room had a window.
evidently a deadlight,, but square and
unusually large. This he tried to raise.

thinking that he could sefze the anchor
chain and by its aid reach the deck.

Having'smashed the glass, he found
that the window was double, and he

side pane, after which, 'with profusely'
bleeding hands, he carefully picked out
the bits of glass remaining in the
sashes, so that he could climb out.
