A Famous Planlsrs SprisntIy Remark.

Stupid as pianist, ID simile at

erewski, who divides his time between
practicing in private and performing
in public, has little leisure for the
study of difterential calculus, cunel-
form inscriptions or any one OF the
other thousand subjects of which
proper understanding is the manifest
characteristic of cultivated. and
sprightly mind. Nevertheless before
sailing for other shores, Paderewski
managed to get off a little jest. TWAS

uttered by an artist assurprising as he,
it is not undeserving of record.

both, history does not aver; but by
some means mother and daughter
managed to gain access TO his sanctum.
The mother was proud of her daughter,
as mothers will be, and as for the
daughter, she had aspirations. She
hsd been taught to play, she thonght
she played well, and, to make long
story short, she ardently desired Pad

A young student of the Royal Poly
technic School of Dresden, who is now
in the United States on visit, has
perfected an invention which will fill
. long-felt want. His invention is a
steam bicycle which will run as fast as
fourteen miles an hour. Petroleum or
benzine can be used as fuel. The ma.
chine, engine and all weighs only
abont eighty pounds. This will give
q chance to the men who are fat and
scant of breath, and to whom pedaline
is discomfort if not an jmpossibility.
The next step, the San Francisco
Chronicle predicts, will be a bicycle
propelled by light and inexpensive
electric motor, which will be the very
perfection of motive power as applied
to the flying wheel.
