Again and again did the paper hanger, who
tells the story, come out with his big rolls

ONE WHEELED PNEUMATIC SuLKY.
The Invention Of Californian who Looks
For Big Success with It.

The Invention Of Californian Who Looks
For Big Success with It.
Captain Alphonse b. Smith, pioneer of
San Diego, Cal, is the inventor of one
wheeled sulky which apparently is a sue
cess. Some years ago he conceived the
idea that the time of horse on the race
course could be materially reduced If, in
stead of the two wheeled sulky, a one
wheeled cart could be used, and he forth
with set to work to devise vehicle which
would suit the purpose.
He feels confident that at last he has sue
Ceeded in inventing something which fully
realizes his brightest hopes, and something,
too, which is destined to come into very
general use throughout the world. The
axle of the cart is made in two pieces, and
is so arranged that the wheel turns very
readily in any direction the horse can posi-
bly, pursue. Attached to the shafts, near
where they meet the axle, are stirrups, de-
signed to steady the rider in his position on
the cart. Made for ordinary road use, one
of the vehicles weighs s. pounds, but when
designed for use on the race course the uni
cycle, as some have called it, may be con
structed so as to weigh only 81 pounds.
One was recently manufactured at San
Diego entirely of aluminium, the weight

it isn't true that balancing pole goes with

During the nineteenth century the ques-
ton of earthquakes has been the subject of
much earnest investigation by scientific
men, and much hard study and research
have been given toward the solution of this
phenomenon" remarked Professor Fred q.
Plummer. Prominent among these stu
dents are the names of Falbs, Fuchs, Hol-
den, Dutton, Percy, Won Geldern-names
which are of themselves sufficient guaran-
tee of the thoroughness of the investigations
"As the result of much of this research
it appears to be demonstrated that the
nearness and positions of the sun and moon
have effects favorable to earthquake
much the same influence as these bodies
have upon terrestrial surface tides. The
conditions which are favorable to an eX-
tremely high tide at Puget sound are five
in number-viz: First, perihelion of the
earth; second, perigee of the moon; third,
opposition fulD of the moon; fourth, the
moon running high; fifth, the ocean winds.
For the purpose of a calculation aiming at
prediction this last element is to be omit
ted. Condition No. occurs once year,
and conditions Nos. ., and 4 occur about
monthly.
Now, by reference to an almanac, it may
be seen that on the ed of next December
all the conditions will occur together ex
cepting No. /, which will be eight days late
but as this would hardly be appreciable,
they may be considered as occurring togeth-
er. 1t may be predicted with accuracy that
on or shortly after the ed of next Deem
Der we shall have an unusually high tide,
and for the same reasons Gf the earth
quake theory is correcD the conditions will
be ripe for earthquakes While it would
not be advisable for scientist of reputa-
ton to predict such an event, it may be
said that the theory will be put to a very
severe test next December, and its advo-
Gates will have chance either to rejoice or
mourn. The same conditions will not oc-
cur together again for 1856 years. Tacoma

PAY OF CHINESE SOLDIERS.
They Receive Their Wages in Silver and
Exchange 1t for Coin.

They Receive Their Wages in Silver and
Exchange 1t for Coin.
The Chinese soldier receives his paw
once d month only and Chinese months,
it may be remem bered, are much long
er than those we are accustomed TO
reckon by. On the eve of the pay day
the captain of a company. together
with his sergeant-maior, goes and re-
ceives the amount of money requisite
to pay his company from his next SUI
perior officer.
This is not paid TO him in juggling
coins. but in pure silver, which. how
ever, has been broken into somewhat
irregular pieces. The whole of the
night preceding pay day is occupied in
weighing out for each man the required
quantity of silver, and this occupation,
as may be imagined is a very tedious
one and only successfully accomplished
by infinite care. for here a piece the
size of pins head has to be Clipped
off, and there a piece of large dimen.
sions has. to be added to make up
weight, and any deviation one way or
the other means the loss of perhaps a
days pay or more to some poor defend
err of the Celestial empire.
When the process of melting out is
accomplished the silver is carefully
wrapped in paper. upon which is writ
ten the name of the intended recipient.
On the following afternoon the COM
pany is mustered and the sergeant.
major divides the money, commencing
with the first man in the company and
going on to the last. When this division
is concluded the question is asked in
,stentorian tones: Has any one else
claim?' and the customary NO" hav-
ing promptly been given, the men are
then dismissed.
Each one now repairs to the nearest
bridesmaids shop. where he exchanges
his silver. For one tael he receives
sixteen hundred small coins called
cash" perforated in the center so as
to allow of being threaded on a string,
and having received the proper amount,
turns homeward with a cheerful mien,
but nearly sinking beneath this bur
den.
The private receives three and a half
taels. equal to nineteen shillings,
monthly. out of which he has to pro-
vide himself with clothes and food.
This to us, no doubt. seems a very in
significant sum, but we must remember
that the whole of Chinese soldiers
subsistence only costs him about one
tael, for he lives on rice, absolutely
nothing but rice. His clothes. too,
also cost but a trifle.-Chicago Tribune.
