The horseless wagon is surely

an electric phaeton' was successfully
tested at Hartford last week, and a
day or two later a carriage with a
kerosene motor had a satisfactory
trial at Middletown. "It weighs
we are told, "only 625 pounds, and
the cost is $500. Mr.. Whitney, the
inventor, took out several of the prom

and the wagon went up the steep hills
of the city as quickly as it passed
over the macadamized principal

the vehicle is said to be two cents a

If the recruiting officer is satisfied
with the references and appearances
of a candidate he sends him to the
post surgeon for a rigid examination.
He is then asked if he has ever had
any diseases. IF anything is covered
up or concealed, the man may be
charged with fraudulent enlistment
and punished as prescribed by the ar

The applicant is compelled to sign
a statement to the effect that he is

SATISFIED BY ANY ANSWER.
Question Asked i'm Civil Service Ex-
animation of SCrubwOmen

Into the best of things there often
creeps an element of the ridiculous.
How much soap" said a prominent
member of the Chicago bar, will it
take to clean a square yard of floor?"
The question occasioned some sur
prise among the gentlemen in his office.
No" said he, its not a conundrum.
It's a sober question. 1t must be, for it
is found in the civil service eXarnina-
ton of the applicants for positions as
scrub women. l believe most thor
oughly in civil service reform, but what
do you think of that question? It's re-
markable-very remarkable-because 1T
would tax all the powers of the Magi to
answer it with eXactness, and yet ii can
hardly be answered wrongly. The man
who evolved it was a dyed-in-the-Wool
genius. None other could have done it.
Genius is shown in the neglect to
mention the kind of the floor. The very
stones in the streets know that it viii
not take the same amount in all cases,
but that the soap will vary with the
surface cleaned. 1t will take one amount
for soft wood, another for hard, sth1
another for tile. 1t will vary, too, with
the state of preservation of the floor
A badly worn floor will take more soap
than a perfectly smooth one. These
things that Solomonlike question leaves
out of consideration entirely.
Il suppose the prospective scrub
women ought not to complain on that
score. Any answer which lies within
the limits of common sense must be
right If not correct for one sort of
floor it Will fit another. Only, 1 should
like to meet the man whose fertile brain
hit upon the question as a thing Of vital
Importance"
The question is one of the funny
things likely to crop up in connection
with examinations of any sort, and par
ticularly with civil service examina-
tons 1t really means nothing. The
future of the applicant can be inf1u-
enced in neither one way nor the other
by her reply to it. And yet it proves a
frequent snare and stumbling block to
those thinking of taking the examina-
ton. 1t is one which the average in
dividual hesitates about answering at
all. 1t looks so searching, it has so
plausible an appearance of deep learn
ing in it's conception. that the ordinary
scrubwoman feels helpless in its pres
ence.

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
Occurs in a Drug Store at GlendOra,
Los Angeles County.

GLENDORA (Cal) Jan. ia terri
BILE explosion shook this town to its
foundation yesterday morning at )
o'clock
1t came from fire that had been
lighted in Ingelhart's drug store a few
minutes earlier in some unaccountable
manner. A large quantity of dynamite
and go pounds of giant powder We're
stored in a back room and when the fire
had reached it the explosion rent the
building, breaking window lights all
over town and throwing burning brands
for hundreds of feet in every direction.
The detonation awakened almost
everyone in Azusa, two miles away, and
was heard all over the valley. The store
was soon in ashes with its contents, ig
hitting another building adjacent, occu-
pied by Judge Macarthur and his family.
They had only time to escape with what
they could carry with them and lost all
their property and household effects.
Neither of the buildings was insured.
The origin of the fire is a mystery. The
loss on the two structures and their
contents will be more than $1,000.

TO INCREASE THE ARMY.
Parker's Bill to be Reported FavOrably
by the House Committee,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The House
Committee on Military Affairs to-day
ordered a favorable report on the bill
intoduced by Parker (Rep) of New Jer
sey to increase the efficiencyof the army
of the United States, and to localize the
recruiting of regiments in time of war.
The measure authorizes the President
in time of war TO increase the number
of enlisted men and n-commissfoned
officers in each troop of cavalry, battery
of artillery and company of infantry to
a war strength, not exceeding double
the strenghth provided by law. To ia
cilitate the raising and recruiting of
troops, the President. in his discretion,
may order each or any regiment of the
army to draw its recruits from a State
or States designated by him, the troops
so drawn to be counted, forming a
part of the quota of troops from the
State as called for.
