An arrangement for preventing the
overturning of omnibuses and other
road vehicles in case of the breakage of
wheel or an axle, or of the drawing
of an axle box, was recently put sue
cessfully through its trials. The inven-
ton consists of four supports attached
to the axle, one being placed just inside
OF the four wheels. Each support has
at the bottom small solid wheel or
roller, which normally is about an inch
above the road surface. Upon either
of the wheels coming off, the support
next to it comes into play, and the We
hicle runs upon the three remaining
wheels and one of the small wheels.
In the recent trials an omnibus fitted
with the safety appliances and having
all four wheels loose on the axles was
filed with passengers inside and out.
1t was then driven about at good
speed on rough places in the roadway
and over tram rails in zigzag fashion
of, when it was driven back to the
starting point without the pace being
slackened. A number of runs were
made, all the wheels in one instance
coming off, and the omnibus returning
on the rollers only. No violent shock
was experienced on a wheel coming off,
nor was there in any case serious lurch-
ing, even when on a sidelong slope. 1t
is stated that the experiments were in
every way successful, and so far show
that the appliance fulfills its intended
purpose. New York Telegram.

The Sailors idea Of an Anthem.

The following travesty on the popular
anthem as rendered by some chOirs is not so
much of a travesty after all. Why shouldn't
one requisite of good music be good sense
in the words sung?
"A sailor who had been TO cathedral

canting particularly on an anthem which
gave him much pleasure. His shipmate
listened for a time and then said: i say,

HE GOT TURNED AROUND.
How IL Campbell Street Gcntioman Tried
to Got Out OF bod.

A gentleman living somewhere be-
tween tho two eXtremitics of Campbell
street was rudely awakened at o'clock
Sunday morning by tho cries Of his
wife, who had disappeared from her
room and was standing bare-footed at
the back door, shouting at hor drowsy
spouse to present arms and himself with
the greatest possible dispatch.
The old gentleman, however, had
gotten turned round somehow in bed
and mixed up in the bed clothes, and
cen ;tquently had confused conceptions
of direction. Aroused by his wife's
cries and thinking burglars were in the
house, he made u frantic drive for the

OF mornings, and-made hole in the
wall. After several more such efforts,
resulting invariably in striking the
wall or some portions of the bedstead,
he finally obtained tho floor out OF tho
wrong side of tho bed, but his confused
notions of direc ton abided with him
in tho room. Hastily feeling for the
bed, he ascertainod how it set in the
room and where tho north Sido OF it
was, and thon got in it again in order
to get out whore he would know where
he was. His trouble Of mind may be
imagined when it is mentioned that he
thought his wife was all this time
being murdered down stairs.

to her relief, and found her standing on
tho back porch, repeating Alternatives
