president of the French republic no seems

story going Mt the time, for the accuracy
of which we certainly will not vouch, but
which appeared In several of the London

Shortly before Lady Blessington's death
she met, so the story goes, the president

Pulley Betting.

Practical observers experienced in the
working Of betting have generally con-
cluded that belt of 2 inches width and
of single thickness, running on pulley
s inches i'll diameter, represents about as
near perfect belt transmission as it is
possible to get with oak tanned leather
betting. This may seem, it is thought,
rather favorable condition for belt
of such dimension TO work under, but as
far as the pliability of the belt is con-
cerned, it is assumed that there would
be no objection to the curvature of eight
inches, and as for the width, one inch
and half might be considered quite
narrow and thee inches in width some
what wide. 1t is argued, however, that
II the oak tanned material will endure
all this bending action while under a
high speed and drawn up taut enough to
show well when power is to be trans
mitted, then it must be expected that a
pulley 10 inches in diameter, when pro-
vided with a double thick belt of 4 inch
es width, must give equal satisfaction.

THAT man is stopper, rmarked a
police officer to Star writer few
mornings since. land he and his class
give us any amount of trouble If he
stole, we could reach him by the law,
but as he only finds, we cannot easily

said: "A stopper is man who searches
through the garbage cans in the alleys
in the rear of hotels, boarding houses
and private houses Some only search
for spoons, knives and forks that are
thrown into the garbage receptacle by
careless servants, for it is fact that
there are more silver spoons and knives
and forks thrown away with the gar
bage than are stolen by servants, though
the contrary is generally believed. The
stopper is generally an hour or so ahead
OF the garbage collector, and he is often
more regular and careful in his rounds
than the garbage man.
