ants, or of being served en- casa by ca
terer. Since time out of mind Washing
ton has been celebrated as the graveyard
of hotels and newspapers, for innumerab BILE
failures in both lines of enterprise. Ger
tainly it is not undue modesty in the mat
ter of charges which has brought so many
Bonifaces to the wall; but probably be-
cause their profits are swallowed up in
sky-high rents, which go on undated dur
ing the half-year when the capital city is
a desert of tenantless hostelries. But the
coming congress, like the overlooking OF
the Nile in thirsty Egypt, makes the
waste places bloom again.

La Nature describes the fastest combi-
nation Of typewriter and bicycle. a ma
chine invented for the necessities of war.
A bicycling stenographer is to accompany
the chief Of staff or colonel Of a regiment
in all his movements, takes orders from
the officer down in shorthand, and writes
them out IN several copies on the partic-
ularly small and light typewriter fast
ened to the handle-bar of his wheel. Or
binary cyclists are then charged to de-
liver the circular orders to the various
officers for whom they are Intended. Ex-
periments in this direction have shown
the perfect feasibility Of the plan, and a
large saving of time Is effected in the
transmission Of orders from headquarters
10 outlying detachments Of troops. The
developing OF this Idea II suggested for
other purposes. particularly for newspaper
reporters and other amDulant occupa-
lions.
