A QUEER BRIDAL TOUR.
It Was Made in the Cable Car Reside He
Gripnan Spouse.

Cr1pnan Spouse.
It was pretty Geld in the forward
compartment Of one of the Seventeenth
and Ninth street cable cars the other
evening, says the Philadelphia Press.
The short benches on each side of the
gripman were empty save for one figure
that of a petite and pretty brunette
in warm gray cape ulster with a big
fur boa around her neck
The conductor put his head through
the door for moment and came back
chuckling.
Loves funny thing" he said, as he
got back on the rear platform and rung
up two fares. ''Thcre's Jiln's wife in
there with him. Jim's the gripman,
you know. They've been married near
two weeks, and I'm hanged if she
hasn't put in the best half of the time
riding round with him in the car. They
couldn't afford to take a trip off, you
see, and SO they're putting the honey
moon in this way.
''She's little brick, though, I tell
you," he went on, as he started the car,
after a pause to help on board stout
woman with seven packages, land when

along in The evening: but. bless you.
she don't mind it. This is his last trip,
and she never fails to take it with him.
Then, when he knocks off, they walk
home together as happy as a pair Of
doves"
1t was quite dark in the gripman's
compartment, except for the glimmer
from the store windows and the cleo
tric-lights rs the car shot past them.
But it was light enough for them. The
stalwart young gripmon would bend
down once in awhile to say word or
catch q glimpse of her face, and she
seemed quite content to sit there and
watch him as he jammed the grip
handle up and pulled down on the
brake.
"Yes, SIR" said Jim, ''we've been
married two weeks tomorrow. Nav
be you think it funny way to
spend a honeymoon, and SO it is. But
it's Marys doing. I'd saved up enough
to take a week or SO off, but she
wouldn't have it. She says: Well just
lay that away for rainy day, and I'll
come and ride on the car with you.'
Don't you put my name in the paper or
maybe I'd get the bounce. The COM
pany might object, though don't see
why they should, for she pays her fare

A Difficult Problem,

Weighing the earth is problem
which has often interested and amused
scientists, and various efforts have been
made to determine with some degree Of
accuracy the probable approximate
weight OF the globe on which we live.
In 1772 series of curieus experiments
was made by Prof. Maslxclyne in
Mount Schiha.lion in Scotland, by
which he determined the singular fact
mat the attraction exerted by the
mountain mass on the plumb line
caused it to deviate nearly six seconds
rom the perpendicular. Long and alb
struse calculations followed, on the de-
tails OF which it is not necessary to
twell, but the result was, taking the

How n Fortune Was Handed Down.

If You go to William Quincy's Office,
you learn from the legend on the door
that he is lawyer whose business is
in real estate. He is himself large real
estate owner. The history Of his fortune
is almost romantic. His grandfather,
the second Josiah Quincy, inherited a
considerable estate from the founder of
the family, who was the president Of
Harvard college and otherwise distin-
guished. The grandfather some 40 or
more years ago interested himself in the
construction Of the Troy and Greenfield
railroad, part Of which is now known
as the Hoosac Tunnel line, and was not
able to carry out his undertakings.
He was financially embarrassed, but
did not become a bankrupt. He was
possessed Of very large amount Of
property. and his creditors saw that in
time lie would be able to meet all his
obligations. or that in the event of his
death his estate would do so. The prop
erty was therefore converted into a
trust. the creditors appointing a trustee
and Ir. Quincy another.
This trust has lasted until the present
time. but is about to be abrogated, all
the obligations having now been pro
vided for. For a number Of years the
present Josiah Quincy has been the princi-
pal trustee and manager Of the estate.
which will be worth s. 900 900 when the
trust terminates.-BostonC Cor Washing

is called centripetal force. To admit
the existence Of this force is equal to

called Centrifugal
According to every experiment and all

between the center and the circumfer-

this line will always be determined by
the motion of the earth Ii Is on this
line that the external and the internal
forces meet in deadly conflict, striving for
