"CLAIMS THE BKIDE
OF HIS YOUTH AFTER FORTY
YEARS SEPARATION. ,
A War 8tory That Heads Like it
Was Taken Out of a
Story Hook.
A speoial from Atlanta to the
Augusta Chrontcle sa>8 people at the
terminal station Thursday noticed an
aged man, feeble In body, gray, heult.atlnir

north Georgia train. He passed
through the city, staring at the busy
streets and tall skyscrapers in perfect
wonr'erment. lie "Vemed afraid.
im>29d, ( ut of placet mystified. On
liquiry It was found that the aged
passenger had but a few days ago
oame from a livlrg death. He had
just o mpletcd a term of thirty nine
years' service in a northern penitentiary.
He was on his way toCartersville,
where he went to find the wife
he 1< ft over forty years ago, to go and
fight for his country; a wife *ho had
taken him to be dead, and had married
again and considered herself now
a second widow.
The aped man was Anderson Pitt
man, formerly of Habersham county,
this State. In 1863 then a young
man, he kissed his young wife goodbye,
and, joining 8, Y^al company
went away to tight tb^Xattles of the
South. For months regular letters
reached the young woman from her
fond husband. Finally, one day, they
ceased to arrive
The battle of CMckaooauga bad
been fought a few days before, and
Plttman's regiment had been one
against which Soerman had thrown
V* 4 u V\ vlrvn rl An TLA ? it %i V-t h a O.M>f avm _

ers were left on the field. But that
1b history. Pittmans wife believed
that he had died with others. But
she waited, and grieved and longed.
Her widow's weeds were doomed in
sadness, and the years rolled by. The
husband came not nor wrote.
One day a neighbor wooed and won
her. Surely Anderson wss dead, she
thought, and married again. She
lived happily several years and one
day her new husband, a man by the
name of Whltton, was killed by a
man who accused him of Informing
the authorities of his illicit distilling
operations.
But Andersen was not dead. II*
was among these taken prisoner oy
the northern bordeB, and was sent
away to a northern hell house of confinement.
One day near the time
when he should have been exchanged
he resented the mistreatment of a
prison c ftlcer and killed him.
He was taken away into olvil court
and tried. Little wonder is there
when the prejudices of the time are
considered that be ever escaped with
his life. But life confinement was
his portion. To a penitentiary he
was sent to serve his sentence. The
right of communication with loved
ones and friends was denied.
Thirty-nine long years he spent be
hind prison bars, knowing nothing of
the mighty progress his section had
made in the meantime. Ooe day,
like the Feahro of the Marshelses of
old, his lelease came, and he found
himself out in a cold, strange world,
with most of his life behind him.
His thoughts turned homeward,
and back to the "Hills of Habersham
and to the Valleys of Hall" he came.
He arrived there 8 few days ago, the
modern type of Rip Van Winkle,
startling all the native*, few of whom
remembered htm. He found that his
wife was In Cartersville, and an old
friend of bis former captain assisted
him in reaching that plaoe.
There, it is stated, he found his
wife oonnected w:th the family of
General Ganger. She didn t know
him, though be oalled her^oy the
name of olo, but in tone softened by
the enforced lisp of prison life. However.
she recognized him by a wart on
the forehad, and the two who had
parted in the halcyon days of youth
met in the autumn of old age, and
will spend the remainder of their
lives as God first intended they should,
man and wife. And here let us draw
the curtain.
(Shot to Death,
At Sbeeveport, La., a man was
killed by his divorced wife who in an
insane condition went to his house
and demamded her children.

| BURGLAR PROOF SAFES.
Tailti Built of Armor Plato With
Uovetallfd Joints.
The Introduction of h&rveytzed armor
Into vault construction may fairly
be described as the most Important
single step ever taken In the development
of burglar proof vaults. A vault
built of armor plute, with Its Joints
dovetailed together and keyed from
the luslde of the vault and provided
with a circular door ground Into the
armor plate front, Is proof against any
known method of burglar attack.
After the harveylzed plate has boon
cast and forged to the necessary
thickness It Is covered with a coat of
carbonaceous material and heated for
several weeks In a furnace until the
carbon, which Is the hardening element
In steel, has eaten down fcveral
inches Into the body of the plate. The
plate Is then reduced to size, and the
edges where they lock Into each other

are machined and ground down to the
dovetail shapes shown In the engraving
representing tlie system of joining
at the corners of angles. After these
points have been machined and ground
to an exa?t lit the plates are heated
and then hardened. The vaults are
built with the hardened surface on the
outside. The dovetails are formed
with ono face square and the opposite
face cut at the desired angle. The
clearances aro so arranged that the
dovetails slide snugly Into place rs
the plates are drawn together, and after
they have been brought home long,
wedging stripe and key pieces are driven
Into place from Inside the vault,
locking the plates securely In position.
The joint as thus formed Is so close
ami massive that It Is proof against
any attack by lloatlng nitroglycerin In
from the outside, and wedges will
make absolutely no Impression upon It,
the hard face splintering the wedges
Just as It does tjie hard point of a projectile.
For the same reason the drill
Is useless, and, as for the method of
attack by using the arc light and taking
the temper out of the steel, It Is
sulllcicnt to say that the conditions
necessary for tho use of the arc are so

liope to use It without detection. The
banking public need lose no sleep over
the electric arc scare, of which wo recently
heard so much.
LIQUID ELECTRICITY.
Wonilerfnl DUoovory Clnlined by an
Italian Inventor.
Professor Adolphe Tame, the director
f the electrical company La Gada at
Oneglla, in Llgurla, Italy, claims to
have discovered after seven years of
patient study a method of electrifying
water or some similar fluid so that It
can bo used to drive any vehicle and
to convey light or heat without any difficulty,
the reservoir of liquid being Itself
the accumulator, and the force Is
conveyed by wires. The receptacle in
which the fluid is held Is the special
invention of M. Tame, and his experiments
prove that an automobile of
twenty horsepower carrying twenty
quarts of the magical water can make
a run of ten hours at a cost of 2 cents
per kilowatt hour; moreover, that electricity
only loses 1.75 per cent of Its
power in passing Into the liquid.
It Is prophesied by those wlw> have
witnessed M. Tame's experiments that
vessels will henceforth be driven by
electrified water Instead of steam and
Indeed that such as need a little extra
energy will be able to take It In
any form of liquid nourishment they
most affect. There seems indeed no
limit to the advantages of the new dls
covery, ana itniy is to Do congratulated
on having followed up her great
electrical sons, Volta and Marconi, by
yet another, who has wrested some of
the further secrets of her power from
the magician Electra.
Tryln? to Abolish FIIm.
A prixe of ?(>00 has been awarded
by the Paris Matin to the Inventor
of a new method of getting rid of
house (lies. The method Is strictly
scientific and. It Is claimed, will completely
destroy the eggs, which are
usually deposited In drainpipes. Crude
petrol mixed with water Is used
for household disinfecting purposes.
The drainpipe* become lined with the
II, which both kills the eggs already
there and precludes the deposit of
others. When desired the petrol can
he poured on fine soli and the latter
sprinkled In corners. This, It Is said.
Is thoroughly efficacious In destroying
the eggs. The operations should be
carried out in the spring to obtain the
best results.
Dn*t on a Pin Point*
A very simple experiment made by
an eminent bacteriologist determines
In a startling manner the potential
dangers associated with accumulations
of dust In living rooms. A pin point
was used to convey as much dust as so
small a vehicle will carry. This yielded
no loss than 8,000 colonies of living
germs when cultivated on gelatin, and
although fortunately every species was
not representative of disease yet the
majority were potent sources of decomposition
and danger to healthsLondon

ELECTRIC SAFETY LAMP.
to Prevent Fire In Mlnea
and l'owder >1 ttKitmlnen.
A typo of Incandescent laiup designed
to give ns nearly absolute security
against tiros or explosions us jsjaslble
has boon devised by Dr. D. Tomassl of
Paris, and Is described by the Electrical
Review. The Idea Is to extinguish
the lamp automatically should
the protecting globe Ik? broken and to
prevent the flying of Incandescent particles
If the lamp globe Itself should be
shattered.
The method of doing tills consists In
surrounding the globe of tho lamp Itself
by a second glass covering llttcd so as
to be air tight Within this second
globo Is a switch which normally
stands o[K?n, but which, when subjected
to air pressure, closes the circuit
and allows the lamp to light.
The lamp Is lighted by forcing air
Into the outer globe, In this way closing
uiu bwivvui u, uk'ii, u?e outer giooe
bo shattered, tho reduction In air pressure
which takes place Immediately will
extinguish the lamp before the Inner
globe Is broken. If. on the other hand,
the Inner globe breaks, the reduction
In pressure of the air In the outer
globe, due to the collapso of the Inner
globe, will open the switch and put the
lamp out. In case of an accident of
this kind the outer globe will, of course,
stop all tlytng twirtlelos and prevent
any tire. It Is thought that the lamp
will have value In mines exposed to
explosive gases, In powder magazines
an 1 in other places where thero Is danger
of uij explosion.
ECONOMIC NUTRITION.

Chow Food TliortMiKlily.
Tho entire principle of economic nutrition
Is simpje and practical. It simply
requires you to throw present habits
and conventions to the winds and
for a little time try the experiment of
giving the matter of your everyday living
honest. Intelligent thought, says
Physical Culture.
Eat all you crave, but do not eat
more than this simply because you
have been In tho liablt of doing so. See
to It that each morsel put Into your
month Is thoroughly masticated and
mixed with the saliva before going
down Into the stomach, which Is not
equipped to perform tho work which
the teeth and salivary glands were giv
en you for.
Tlio stomach xvill struggle bravely to
overcome the abuse which you heap
upon It* but In spite of all It can do to
manage hastl'y chewed food, undigested
portions remain which Interfere
with the healthy conditions which nature
Intended. The normal appetite Is
given you as an Indicator of what the
bodj' requires. If you crave potato, the
system needs starch, which the saliva
makes digestible, but which the acids
of the stomach cannot dissolve. Other
needs of the system are similarly Indicated.

Railroad Improvement.
The Improvement In the physical condition
of steam railroads during 1905
has been very marked. The reduction
of grades and curves on tho chief lines
has been prosecuted with vigor. Per
mnnent steel bridges on substantial
masonry have replaced many of the
old wooden structures. Tho use of concrete
masonry Is now almost universal,
and the results aro of the most satisfactory
kind, nonvlor rails are also
taking the place of tho older and lighter
rails. Probably the most Important
Improvement has been In the rapid
adoption of the system of block signaling,
which was greatly extended during
the year. The duplicate order system
of train dispatching bus also been
widely adopted and has resulted in rendering
the possibilities of accident
much less than under the single order
system.?Railway and Locomotive Engineering.
Lnnol, n Nevr Light Qlrer.
After electric lights, lusol. The Paris
municipal authorities are extending
their street lighting trials with lusbl,
which is a hydrocarbon recovered as a
byproduct in making blast furnace
coke. The light Is said to be even softer
than that of alcohol, and a 100 candle
lamp of the type hitherto employed
costs only a cent per hour, while the
domestic lusol lamp gives double the
light at half the cost of a good kerosene
lamp. One use of the new lllumlnant
will be to form a reserve In
case of unforeseen gas or electric light
extinction.

CONSUMPTION CURES.
Italian Ph ynlclnttN Kip^rlnifntloi
WKIi Vnrlou* Mrtliotl*.
Consul Dunning of Milan gives an
interesting account of some experiments
in the use of the Retiring system
of vaccination us a cure for consumption
which have been carried on by a
group of Italian experts:
"Several oxen which had been vaccinated
with the Behrlug treatment
were slaughtered with other oxen
which had been under Inspection for
tome months, while others wore allowed
to continue In life in order to
further develop the effects of the treatment.
These animals were slaughtered
In Milan some time later under the direction
of the physicians Interested in
the earlier experiments. Of four oxen
killed, three had been vaccinated with
the ltehriug treatment and afterward
hud the tul>erculosls virus injected into
their veins. The autopsy, whllo It
did not show definite results, gave encouragement
to the investigators. The
ox which had not been vaccinated
showed tuberculous conditions In a
marked degree, while the three which
had been subjected to the treatment
had remained immune and had resisted
successfully, unless unknown conditions
affected the result, the several injections
of virus intended to test the
potency of the vaccination.
"The experts engaged on the tost announce
that at least two of the three
oxen showed results which seem to indicate
that this method for treating tuberculosis
Is at any rate well founded,
though they expressly add that very
much remains to be done. Other cattle
will soon be killed for further experiments
when the treatment they are undergoing
lias progressed to a more useful
stage. The most important tests

beings which have been undertaken In
Europe for some years are now going

Carcnno, one ol' the most active of the
younger practitioners of northern Italy.
Using a serum which has already had
a good trial In Belgium and France,
Dr. Carcnno made a special study of
tlio subject In several countries of Furopo
and became so encouraged Unit
he decided to take up experiments with
human beings on his own account,
"The Carcnno tests have apparently
carried the matter farther than any
similar effort has been able to go. Dr.
Carcano stated to the consul ho felt
reasonably sure that In many cases ho
could absolutely cure consumption, lx?cause
cures had already resulted from
the use of the serum which ho has
adopted. While not making too sweeping
a claim, he is an..Ions to have the
treatment tested In as many countries
and by as many iiersons as possible.
"The serum Is about to be placed at
the disposal of physicians and others
In n form convenient for use during a
period long enough to tost Its value.
