A RAILWAY WIZARD
Tuft Created a Sensation With
His Vertical Road.
i FIRST PASSENGER ELEVATOR.
It Was Erected In the Old Fifth Av
enue Hotel, In New York, In 1859 and
Was Regarded as the Marvel of the
Day—Its Introduction to England.
Americans may lose the use of their
legs. A number of authorities on this
subject have made the prophecy that
unless the American mends his ways
and changes the direction in which
certain of his habits and tendencies
lie his legs will become as atrophied
as has become his little toe from close
confinement in shoes and long disuse.
These authorities . have pointed out
the street car, the automobile and the
average man's eagerness to "get there"
in the quickest way and with the
least possible effort is the causes for
the present deterioration in legs, and
as mechanical locomotion becomes
more and more accessible and the rid
ing habit grows mi.n will hare less
and less use for his feet and legs.
In addition to electric cars and auto
mobiles, another modern device con
tributes to the average man's increas
ing feebleness of limb. That modern
device is the elevator. To the present
generation, accustomed to ride from
floor to floor and to push the elevator
bell button and wait for the car rather
than climb a flight of stairs, it proba
bly seems queer to see or hear the ele
vator mentioned as a modern device.
Men in their youth and even in their
middle ag» have become so habituated
to the elevator that they feel that such
a thing always was, or at least that it
is coeval with brick and stoue build
ings. Yet the elevator is a modern
device, and the word "elevator" In the
application given it In America Is new
er still than the contrivance it de
scribes.
Before the demolition of the old
Fifth Avenue hotel in New York there
was In one of the elevators a tablet, on
which was inscribed this: "In this
space was erected and operated lu 1850
Tuft's vertical screw railway, the first
passenger elevator ever built."
That elevator was one of the chief
wonders of the hotel, which, because
of its luxury and magnificence, was
considered one of the wonders of the
new world.
The "vertical railway," which saved
persons the trouble of walking up and |
down stairs, was widely writtcu about,
and people came from far and near to
look at the strange Invention and to
be able to tell their admiring friends
In Boston. Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington and other cities out in the
provinces that they had been able to
go np and down stairs without walk
ing.
When travelers came rrom .\e\v xoi r
and told about this vertical screw rail
way to our grandfathers, those worthy
gentlemen raised their eyes and hands
In astonishment and probably exclaim
ed, "Will wonders never cease?"
I An English trade paper, the Loudon
Builder, in September. ISoO. had an
editorial on the subject of the vertical
screw rallwuy In the United States,
saying: "It is a carriage that will
move from the top to the bottom of
the building and from the bottom to j
the top. It will be forced upward by
the application of steam power, and I
the descent will be regulated by the j
resistance of hydraulic power."
It was not until the early seventies
that the vertical railway was intro- j
duced In England, the first "lift" being j
installed in Albert hall, and to ride in
this passengers were required to pay
a fee of one penny. Conservative peo
ple In America and England looked on
this invention with grave suspicion
and "felt it in their bones" that it was
only a question of time when it would
fall down and kill everybody in it
Today the "lift" is nothing like so
common in Europe as the elevator,
which is the same thing. Is in the
United States. One reason for this is
that the United States is the birthplace
and the home of the skyscraper, while
high buildings, as building heights aro
measured in America, lire Infrequent
in Europe.—Washlngt«Mi Star.
A Gallon of Gasoline.
A single gallon of gasoline will do
wonders almost anywhere, but no
where has it been applied to better
purpose than on the farm. Here ire
some of its stunts. It will milk S>00
cows, bale four tons of hay, mix thirty
five yards of cement, move a ton truck
fourteen miles, plow three-fifths of .in
acre of land and make enough elec
tricity to keep eight lights going in the
farmhouse for thirty days.

His Punishment.
"I had a horrible dream last night,"
said Huddleston when he came down
to breakfast the other morning.
"What was it?" asked his wife.
"I dreamed that I was in purgatory
and was made to do all the things I
had told my friends I would do if I
were in their places."—Brooklyn Life.

HYPNOTIZING ANIMALS.
€von the Deadly Cobra May Be Made
Perfectly Passive.
Hypnotizing a ben Is a trick known
to incst count®- boys. It Is an old ex
periment, til'st described by tlie Jesuit
father, Athanaslus Kircher, who laid
a hen on the table, held It (irmly for
n little while and drew a chalk line
In front of its eyes, with the result
that It remained us if in a catalepsy.
Iu India It is known that a cobra
caught by the neck and gently pressed
will soon become stiff and remain so
for a considerable time either coiled
up or out straight.
A frog fastened to a board and turned
suddenly upside down goes into a
trance. Oilier animals are susceptible
to this treatment, some more quickly
than others.
If you picl: up a crab and wave it in
the air it becomes immobile, a female
bending her legs over her abdomen, a
male sticking them out almost straight.
The same is true of the fresh water
crayfish, only this- resists for a much
longer time than a crab.
Among the insects catalepsy—com
monly known as "death feigning"—is
common, apd, according to Professor
Ernst Mangold, the learned German
naturalist, Is often a means of saving
the life of the jnseet.
According to .Mangold, the hypnotic
condition is Induced in man by sug
gestion or physical inhibition, in ani
mals by mechanical Inhibition, but
in both cases sensory stimuli may as
sist. These stimuli may lie optic (fix
ing the gaze on some object), or tactile
(stroking the skint, or otherwise. Some
times an absence of wonted stimuli
may induce the siate, as in the case
of absolute silence.—St. I>uiis Post
Dispatch.
Undiscovered Oceans of Truth.
"We may be justly proud of what
has been achieved, but let us not fall
to remember with Newton that 'the
vast ocean of trtu h' still 'lies' for tb?
most part 'undiscovered before us.'
However marked maj be the progress
of s' her individual votaries must
always feel a sense of humility at the
liiile the b.'st of the in Is able to con
tribute toward the general result."—
Sir Edward Schaefer, in an address to
the British association.
Gypsies.
The gypsies are nearer to the ani
mals than any race known to lis in
Europe. The.v have the lawlessness,
the abandonment, the natural physical
grace in form and gesture of animals.

i! The Colonel's Duel
By M,. QUAD
Copyright, 1015, by tlio McCluro
Ncwspftper Syndicate.
I After supper u dozen or more of us
! congregated In the hotel office for a
I smoke, and presently the landlord onme
among us to say:
I "Gentlemen, we have a fire eater In
this town named Colonel Sebastian.
! He has several peculiar theories of bis
own, and I wish to post you in ad
vance: He is very strong in Ills talk
and should you differ with liiui he will
challenge you to a duel. The colonel
is a dead shot, r«id I hope you'll take
a friendly tip nnd not engage In a
discussion. Let him have bis own
way and never mind what he says."
The colonel had never killed any one
yet, but that he stood ready to do so
| if bis opinions were disputed the lnnd
: lord felt dead certain, and so we agreed
to agree with the eolouel If he came
in—all but one. The exception was the
smallest and live most humble looking
man among the guests. No one knew
that he had made up bis mind to op
pose the eolouel, nnd when the latter
entered, half an hour later, be picked
him out of the crowd as a good man to
go for. He got alongside of him and
after a bit turned on him with:
"Perhaps you have not been inform
ed that I am the originator »f the idea
that all men were once animals of
some sort and that perfection has been
reached only after many centuries of
time?"
"Xo, sir, 1 haven't," was the prompt
reply.
"But I nm, suh, and what do you
think of the idea?"
"What idea?"
"Why, the one just stated. I think
you heard me, suh—I think .vou did."
"Oh, I remember! Well, 1 don't train
with that crowd, thank heaven!"
"Suh, do you know what you arc
saying?" cried the colonel.
"I do."
"And that your language, suh, Is
personally offensive—personally offen
sive!"
"I'm sorry you belong to the crowd
who furnishes great ideas."
"Crowd, subj Why, you have gross
ly insulted nie and must at once apol
ogize or acvept a challenge!"
"Bring on your challenge, colonel!"
"Then you will fight me, suh?"
"Certainly. Just name time, place
and weapons. By the way, I want to
leave in the morning. Can't we fight
In the billiard room, out in the yard,
up In my room? Xo use waiting until
tomorrow."

the colonel.
"With the irreaft'st of plbasure, and
I'll bet n thousand dollars to a shilling
[ kill you. Where can we got swords,
rifles, pistols or bowie knives? I nni
Just aching to fight you!"
"Were yon told about me, suli, lielV
T appeared here this evening?"
"Oh, yes."
"You were told that I was Colonel
Sebastian ?"
"I believe that was the-narae."
"The Colonel Sebastian of the Fif
teenth Texas?"
"Yes. the Tenth or the Fifteenth."
"Who led the charge at Malvern
nill?"
"It was something like that."
"Not only one charge, sub, but three
—three desperate charges!"
"They say five, but let It go at
three."
"And, sub." said the colonel as lie
frowned like a bushel of carpet tacks,
"did you hear that I was a duelist?"
"Something was said to that effect"
"And that I had had twelve affairs
of honah ?"
"Only twelve, colonel? Why I under
stood It was twenty," replied the oth
er. "Well, this one .will make you thir
teen."
"Yes. suli—yes, sub. Will you lionnh
me by giving your name?"
"Name? Please excuse mo for my
forgetfulness. Did you ever hoar of
General Chllvers?"
I "Why—why"—
"Of the Louisiana Tigers?"
"Who—what"—
"Who led nine desperate charges at
second Bull Run?"
"Bless me. suh!"
j "And who has killed three times the
number of men that yon have In
| duels?"
"General Chllvers"—
"Never mind that, colonel. You have
challenged me. and I accept !>>t us
have it over with as soon as possible,
as I have some business to attend to."
"General Chllvers"—
"I choose pistols, and I din't think
it will detain me over five minutes.,
Where shall we go?"
The colonel swallowed his Adam's
apple three or four times and then
asked:
"You—you won't apologize?"
"No, sir, never! My object is to kill
you and get a theorist off the earth.
Flurry up. or I may not be able to hold
myself!"
The colonel was on his feet, but ho
drew himself up, settled his hat on his
head and his face was as white as
flour and his voice trembled as he said:
"Suh, I am a fighter and a dead shot,
but as this is my birthday, snh, and 1
don't want to stain it with blood I
overlook your rather eccentric ways."
And when the silence had lasted five
long minutes the landlord turned to
'lie small and humble man and gasped:
"For heaven's sake, who and what
■ re you?"
And the reply was:
"Oh. I'm just Simmons, and I trav
" for a Chicago crockery house. This
k! my first trip."
