plays the part with wonderful energy and in
cisiveness, albeit the lines might be more
aesthetic, and the poetic spirit with which
Goethe imbued the tradition of the devil and
his dupe better preserved. Mephisto is classed
as one OF the seven chief devils in the old
demonology, the second of the fallen archangles

internal regions after Satan He was
well adapted, therefore, as a commissioners

souls OF just such knowledge as Faust,
dsgusted with the vain pursuit after wisdom by
means OF false philosophy. He made the
worse appear the better part. Miss Rosabel
Morrison was assigned Marguerite, and played
" with very intelligent conception OF its needs
The unfortunate love of Faust has been de-

"Gretchen Is perfect union of homely nature
and poetic beauty" Such was the character in

to be SO highly charged with the subtle fluid

A VERY SWIFT TRICYCLE..
Jacques Sommer Tnvents Machin
Which Annihilates Distance.


Jacques sommer, young Alsatian who has
been in America only about six months, has
filed cayeat at the patent Office an inyen-
ton which win distance all previous discover
les in the matter of rapid transit if his calcutta
tions prove true.
His invention is velocipede, or tricycle., con-
structed TO be worked by three men, or by steam
or electric power. 1t is run on two fve-foot
wheels, with a small directing wheel
in front. The end of the axle of
each of the large wheels is a three-inch cog
wheel, in which another cogwheel. thirty inches
in diameter, works. The two larger cogwheels,
one at each side of the vehicle, are joined by an
axis at their circumference. The man who
drives the vehicle sits in box at the rear. the
top of the two cogwheels being about on level
with his shoulders, and runs the machine by
turning the axis, while another man sitting in
front runs the directing wheel by shalt with
handle at the end.
Mr.. Sommer estimates that the thirty inch
wheels will make one revolution a second. This
means ten revolutions of the small cogwheels
on the center of the large driving wheels, and
consequently ten revolutions of the latter in a
second. AT this rate the large wheels will make
$1,000 revolutions an hour, which is equivalent
TO distance of Us miles an hour Mr.. sommer
does not venture to claim such feat for his
tricycle., but he says il will travel % 70 $50
miles an hour. If the task should be

or coal-otl motor be placed on the box to furnish
power While the machine is primarily de
signed TO run on road, Mr.. Sommer SAYS that
the principle can be applied to railroad or an
air-ship,
Mr.. Sommer is young man OF only 10 years,
and was born at wissembourg, Alsace-Lorraine
claiming France as his native land. but has
declared his intention to become citizen lie
says that he has been working on this invention
during his three years employment as a ma
chinist in Germany, but has hitherto been pre-
vented from pstenting it by lack of money lie
has now made arrangements with Seattle men
to furnish money TO secure patent and make
model He estimates that the machine can De
