Baron Rothschild's Friend
in Need.

Baron Rothschild was once in a
prsdicament that many people expe
rience daily, and that is getting into
a conveyance Of some kind, and then
not having the money to pay the
fare.
The driver of the omnibus into
which Rothschild entered demanded
his fare, and the Baron, feeling in
his pockets, discovered that he had
no change. The driver was very an
cry. "What did you get in for, if
you had no money! ~
sI am Baron Rothschild," ex-
planned the great capitalist, "and here
is my card. "
The driver scornfully tossed the
card away.
Never heard of you before" " said
he, "and don't want to hear OF you
again. What | want is your
fare !"
The banker was in great haste
"Look here, I've an order for mil.
lion," he said, "give me the change
and he prof1ered coupon for that
amount.
The driver stared and the passen
gers laughed. Fortunately a friend
of the baron entered the omnibus at
the moment, and taking in the sit
uation. Immediately paid the fare.
The driver, realizing his mistake,
and feeling remorseful, said to the
baron: "Ifyou want ten francs, sir, |
don't mind lending them to you Oh
my own account. !"

THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
The Perfect Vehicle Will Come Into Use
Slowly but Surely.

The Perfect Vehicle Will Come Into Use
Slowly but Surely.
A little reflection will convince any
one that the use Of motorcycles, or, III
other words, horseless carriages, will
improve the roads. General NORM Of
France is authority for the statement
that the deterioration Of common roads,
except that which is caused by the
weather, is two-thirds due to the wear
of horses feet and one-third due to the
wheels of vehicles. This being the case,
if the same amount as usual continue
to be laid out upon the roads, and the
continual damage decrease two-thirds,
then the amount spent will go to IL
creased and permanent Improvement,
and the roads will be ''as smooth as a
barn floor.
There are many questions to be
solved, many difficulties to be sur
mounted, before the unexceptionable
vehicle appears It was a long time be-
fore the difficulties Of making sewing
machines, revolvers, repeating rifles,
typewriters and typesetters were over
come. Yet, examine them! 1t is ali
plain and simple, and not at all marvel
GUS now, and we can hardly imagine
how any mechanic could spend years Of
time studying over such easy problems.
So it will be with the motorcycles. The
mountains of difficulty will sink into
molehills, and the ingenuity displayed
will be found to take the form Of judi
cious application Of ordinary mechanic
al appliances, approved by the final
umpire, the common sense Of mankind.
Those who build automobiles must
not permit themselves to think that they
were born with all the carriage makers

good vehicle to run ca wheels The per

the aggregate Of the years Of exhaustive
trial and experiment and the improve

4 BEETLE THAT GNAws SHELLS.
And It Does Other Things Calculated te
Make It's Prey Tremble.

And It Does Other Things Calcoiated TO
Make Its Prey Tremble.
Of all the insects the beetles are the
most interesting. There is one that car
ries a cannon, which a naval man
would call stern chaser, and is loaded
with fluid. When pursued, the beetle
fires it, and the other insect, usually a
carniyerous beetle, is blinded by the dis
charge of fine acid spray. Hence its
name Of bombardier. The latest thing
that has been learned about beetles is
that Dytiscus marginalis cuts its way
through the shells Of snails and mollusks
and eats the inhabitants.
W. B. Tegetmeier writes to the Lon
don Field and tells about the curiosity
Of naturalists at finding shells manifest
" gnawed by some insect or other and
the final discovery Of Dytiscus margin
alis at work on the shell. Then he tells
some things about the Dytiscus family:
SAYS he:
sI know Of no more interesting ami
NAL in an aquarium than Dytiscus,
who soon acquires the habit OF follow
ing the. fingers for food and amuses
himself at night. if the aquarium is
open, by flying round and round the
room, and occasionally misses the way,
and, being unable to return, is found
on the floor in the morning. There is
one drawback to the habits Of this crea-
ture. He is bloodthirsty tyrant Of the
aquarium, requiring the whole place to
himself, for if kept with tadpoles, frogs,
fish or any other animals, he quickly
destroys them, even if many score times
his own size. "
What hawks are to the other birds,
cats are to other mammals, sharks are
to other fish, the Dytiscus is to other in-
sects.

Necessity fOr Individual communion
Guns.

A special committee of a Boston
church has rendered its report on the
dcsirahility of individual communion
cups for church sacramental service.
The report sets forth that whereas
formerly the church was in many re-
spects a large family. wherein the life
and actions Of each were known to the
others, we now-Outside our own cir
Gle of aCquaintances-know but little
regarding the actual life of those
around us. AS a result. we are ignor-
ant of the physical condition of those
who are sitting Immediately at our
SID or before us, and the question,
whether we wish to use the same
drinking cup as they do, is one of very
serious Importance. both from a SAM
tary as well as from an aesthetic point
of view" While it is admitted that
the danger of Introducing micrO-organ-
iSmS into Ii system through the
mouth by means of the communion
cup is small, its actual existence is in
sisted upon. 1t is pointed out that the
acute contagious diseases, measles,
scarlet fever, etc. are for the most
part diseases Of childhood. and entail
but little risk. Local diseases Of the
mouth. tranSmittable by micrO-Organ-
iSnls. have to be reckOned with. Con
sumption could be transmitted to an
abraded surface, and so furnish an en-
rance for cOntaGiOn. Recent inyeSti-
cations show that persons suffering
from mild sore Threats may have pres
ent heterogeneous which are capa-
bic of producing the malignant forms
Of diphtheria. Not only this, but per-
sons who have recently recovered from
this disease and are feeling compare
lively well may for weeks carry micro
organisms which are capable of setting
up the severest forms of diphtheria.
Furthermore, persons with virulcnt ul-
cerationS in their mouths, resulting
from serious diseases of the blood,
have been known to 60 to the commu.
Mon table, and the possibilities thus
opened out are not a little alarming.
The committee states that individual
communion cups are now in use in
oven sixty places of worship, and in
the cause of health and cleanliness,
and in view of the facts presented, it
recommends their adoption by it's w
church.
