Unloads without stopping.

A New York wood dealer, who
handles many cargoes of cordwood
annually, finding that the time con-
sumed in unloading carts at the yard
amounted to a considerable item OF
expense, has invented cart by
which this item is eliminated entire
ly. The cart has q horizontal plat
form hung low between pair Of
wheels on crank axle. The plat
form is held in place by button
shutting into slot in the forward
part of the frame of the cart. The
driver backs up to the string piece
on the wharf and his cart is loaded
Then he drives to the yard and when
he is at the spot where it is desired
to unload the wood he simply turns
the button and releases the platform
and the platform tips backward, and
thus the cart unloads itself. The
driver never stops at all-he just
keeps right on to the wharf again.
The operation is SO extremely simple
and SO obviously economical that it
is a delight to the eye of even the
most casual observer.

rather prominent abutments, and
separated by snow valley. or de.
preston. from fifty to 100 feet in
depth" Thus, in the Century
write Messrs. Allen and Sachtle ben,
the two young Americans who made
bicycle tour round the world.
1.-The eastern top on which we
were standing. was quite extensive,
and thirty to forty feet lower than
its western neighbour Both tops are
hummocks on the huge dome OF Ara
rat, like the humps on the back OF a
camel, on neither one OF which is
there vestige OF anything but snow.
"There remained just as little trace
of the crosses left by Parrot and
Chodzko, as of the ark itself. We
remembered the pictures we had
seen IN our nursery books, which
represented this mountain-top
covered with green grass, and Noah
stepping out OF the ark, in the bright,
warm sunshine, before the receding
waves; and now we looked around
and saw this very spot covered with
perpetual snow. Nor did we see any
evidence whatever of q former ex-
listing crater, except perhaps the
snow-filled depression we have just
mentioned. There was nothing
about this perpetual snow-field, and
the freezing atmosphere that was
chilling us to the bone. to remind us
that we were on the top Of an ex-
tinct volcano that once trembled
with the commissions of subterranean
heat
1.-The view from this towering
height was UNNECESSARILY extensive,
and almost too grand. All detail
was lost-all color, all outline; even
the surrounding mountains see med to
be but excrescent ridges of the plain.
Then, too, we could catch only oc-
casional glimpses, as the clouds
shifted to and fro. At one time they
opened up beneath us, and revealed
the Aras valley with its glittering
ribbon of silver at an abysmal depth
below. Now and then we could des,
cry the black volcanic peaks of Ali
Chez forty miles away to the north
west, and on the southwest the low
mountains that obscure the town OF
Bayazil. or the Caucasus, the noun
tains about Erzerum on the west, and
lake Van on the south, and even OF
the Caspian sea, all OF which are
said to be in Ararats horizon, we
could see absolutely nothing"

woman in Georgia was recently
tried before n court on the charge of
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. A clear case appears to have
been made out against her, but her
lawyer secured her discharge without
denying single allegation and with
out calling single witness in her be-
half. He simply asked the prosecutor
whether he could swear teat the de-
PENDANT was not of sound mind, and,
on the answer being in the negative,
the Judge ordered the woman's dis
charge and lectured the prosecutor
for bringing case into court in
which the prosecutor could not take

London Stone.

Most travellers while in London
pay visit to "London Stone This
historic stone is oblong in shape, of
grayish color, and is imbedded in
the slabs of the foundation OF st.
Swithin's church, which is situated
right in the heart of the city. This
stone was erected by the Romans
half century before the birth of
the Savior as the central milestone
or point of their possessions in
Britain. From it all roads. divisions
OF property and distances through
out the province were measured. 1t
has been recognized as the heart of
England from which all it's arteries
flowed by every historian or anti
quarry known to English literature.
A feeling has always existed among.
Englishmen about this stone which
was not altogether superstition,
that as all distances were reckoned
from it so it was in certain way
the base OF the stability of England.
