G. w. Chancellor, United States
report to the Secretary OF State on tho
subject OF horsoless carriages IN which
he tells of the recent competition in
France between carriages OF various
kinds OF motors other than horses.
The course prescribed was from
Paris to Bordeaux, II distance of 35S
miles and back, any vehicle which
consumed more than 100 hours on
the road to be disqualified. Prizes
were offered, the principal one
amounting to $500 for four-seated
carriages.
The best time was made by four
seated and n two-seated vehicle, both
propelled by gasoline. They covered
the distance in twenty-four hours, three
minutes, making about fifteen miles
per hour. This record, Mr.. Chanco'-
lor says, is considered very creditable
in view of the necessity OF climbing
long lines of hills.
These hills appear to have proved
too muck for the electricity.propelled
carriages, ouly one OF which go5
through. The electric carriages lost
time by being compelled to stop fre.
quently to renew their dynamic
charges, as did the steam propellers
by stopping for fuel and water, while
the petroleum machines carried sulIi-
cient fuel for twenty-four run.
Mr., Chancellor says tho ordinary
feeder used for short distances in the
petroleum carriages contains less than
four quarts OF oil and this is sufficient
for n journey OF twenty miles. Ho
also mentions q petroleum cycle
which entered this raco AMI held It's
own with the larger vehicles AMI says
that the time will soon arrive when
gasoline will come into general use for
propelling bicycles, tricYcles AMI even
four-wheelers, which will, he thinks,
relieve lady cyclists from the neces.
sity of wearing short skirts.
Altogether he concludes that petro-
leum is destined to become the popu-
lar agent OF traffic ana conveyance
without horses in the streets OF great
cities and on smooth country roals.

The women of Tacoma, Wash, are
engaged in Il very active crusade in IA
vor of 'home industries They have
formed IA league whose members pledge
themselves to give preference to arti-
cles manufactured in Tacoma or pro.
duced in the State, and TO labor to
bring others to their principles.
The women are working iii the mat
ter with an astonishing vigor, and have
succeeded in booming the local trade
to notable extent. One feature OF
the crusade is a badge worn by mem.
bers of the Home Industry League;
and another is the printing of a LIST
of home manufactured articles, which
is supplied to every household in the

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
TO REMOVE PAINT FROM CLOTHING.

You can remove paint from cloth
ing better with chloroform than by
other means, but benzine will also do.
The chloroform is not inhammable,
and may be used at night; benzine
should only be employed during day
light and away from any fire or open
light, as it Is extremely dangerous
when exposed to flame. Soak the
spot through the fabric and rub gent
Iy over a pieco of blotting paper or
white cloth, using a white fabric as
the rubber. Turpentine will take
paint out, but it is apt to spread
around the edge of the stain, which
chloroform does not do. Use plenty
of the liquid and dry in the sun

thousand maps daily. Most of these
are distributed gratuitously, among
scientists, and those who will display
them. There is q fixel price of one
cent each for the. maps--$5 u year for
both the morning and evening maps.
The library of the Weather Bureau
IS the largest meteorological library
in the world, not accepting that of the
British Museum, and contains about
20, 900 volumes. There is in the Ii
brary an interesting collection of
maps, samples from every country
that has u weather service. Little
Japan, with her customary enterprise,
issues these maps daily, which, in typ
ographical makeup, equal any Of the
others. The first, weather map of the
United States appeared on January l,
1871.
The Weather Bureau of the United
States is, without doubt, the best in
the world, for these reasons 1t has
more money at its command than any
of the other bureaus; its observers
are paid officials, and can be depended
upon to make prompt returns, while
in Europe tine majority are voluntary
observers, and the United States ex
tends over large area, and has more
observing stations than any other
single country. There is, too, unu-
sual enthusiasm among the corps,
which can be explained by the fact
that on their progress and accom-
plishment depends their Advancement.

! One of the New York food reformers
who would improve the diet of mankind
has put out proposition for the eating
of bones, after they are ground fine.
He holds that under the existing regi.
men the bones of the human frame
are not properly supplied with the
chemical elements needed to keep them
in sound and vigorous condition, and
that these elements can be most easily
obtained by consuming the powdered
bones of the animals ordinarily used
for food. He would sprinkle steak or
chop, for example, with bone dust, after
the manner in which it is sprinkled with
salt and pepper, and he maintains that
thus the taste of the meat may be great,
ly improved.

CAPT. LOTHAIRE'S WAY
How Workmsn Are Treated by
Him in the Congo State.
EASIER TO KILL THAN TO PAY WAGES
The Story Told by Thomas Bradley, 4
Returned Sco,chman, of the Way He
and Three Others Were Treated
Trader Stokes Fate.

GHEENocK, Oct. 2L-Thomas Brady,
who has been employed as fireman
in the service of the Congo Free State,
has just returned to this place, and in
an interview with representative of
the United Press relates some of his
experiences in that country. He had
among his comrades there, he said,
two Norwegians and one American.
They were all treated badly, he said,
and when we asked for our wages,
Capt. Lothaire, who was in command
of the station, said the payments
would be made at Bona. Capt. 10th
aire accompanied us to Bona, where
the two Norwegians, the American
and myself were quartered in hut.
We awoke in the middle of the night
and found our hut on IRE and our
selves surrounded by flames, the work
of Capt. Lothaire aud four black po-
1icemcn. We made our escape from
the hut, and the American accosted
Lothaire, asking: us this our thanks?"
Lothaire drew his sword and struck
the man on the back with it, and the
black policeman, by Lothaire's orders,
bound him to tree with leather
thongs. The American being fastened
securely, Lothaire walked up to him
and slashed him with his sword,
wounding him terribly. The Norwe-
gians and / were afraid to interfere,
for we were in the presence of 200 ma
tive troops, but as soon as possible
after an opportunity came we cut the
thongs which bound the wounded man
and carried him to the outskirts of
Bona, where he fingered two days and
died. After the American died the
Norwegians and / succeeded in steal
ing a government canoe under the
cover of night and made our escape
down the river. Both of the Nor
wegians were killed while making the
journey in the canoe.
Bradley added that Bishop Taylor,
the American missionary at Stanley
Pool, told him the real cause of
Lothaires hanging of the British
trader Stokes was that Lothaire was
Jealous of Stokes superior abilities in
dealing with the natives. The bishop
said that Stokes told him that Lo-
Ghaire was his enemy because he would
not bribe him as the other traitors
did,
