generally that the late British Com

letter, written to a very dear friend

not the case.
1t will be remembered that, on going

reported to have had fall in his cab

serious than at first supposed. Accord

He seemed painfully conscious of the

through the wildly Tapping curtains of

| opened up their umbrellas. The con-
ductor, with an air of intrepidity born
of familiarity with situations of the
kind, passed to and fro among the pas

ideal owl conductor, bristling with
sense of his Importance, and osten-
tatiously Indifferent to the comfort and

The treatment Of the Hair.

The hair falls out from various
causes. Sometimes it is because OF
fevers, but more often from debility,
or because there is lack of some ele-
ment in the system which is necessary
to its healthy growth. Scientists de-
clare that real, genuine baldness-or,
as it was once grandiloquently termed,
"complete denudation of the cranial
integument"-is caused by a micro
scopic creature that preys upon the
roots of the hair and deprives it of its
vitality. Then it dies and falls out.
The cause must be ascertained before
any remedy can be applied. If it is
from weakness, take tonics and build
up the system. If any parasitic dis
ease exists, destroy the organisms and
the hair will probably recover its
wonted vigor. AS to the beneficial
effects of washing the hair, all authori-
ties agree that j. is much better for it
to be kept perfectly clean. Frequent
brushing is very necessary if one
would keep the hair in good order,
but the brush must not be too harsh
or more harm than good will result.
Great care should be used in the
selection of q good pomade.

Thy Autumn Of Life.

To the eyes that can see and hearts that
can interpret there Is more wealth OF mean
ing andmore real winsomeness In the chaste
and charming colorings Of an October wood
than in the, blossoming orchard Of May. The
springs loveliness is all garnered In au-
tumn, and thOusandfold more. The one
is promise, the other fulhlment-the one q
delicate and transient beauty, the other the
abiding richness OF matured character.
There is more of usefulness and infinitely
more of hope and 10y In the eliminating
glories Of the ripened year than In the
bloom OF spring, even as there is more to
satisfy and delight In the perfected
life OF an aged saint than In the
primitive maturity Of the child.
To associate advancing age with decrepi-
tude and discomfort, feebleness and petu-
lance Is to rob life Of its richest sweetness.
Ripe old age Is rather the richness and
warmth and brightness Of the rssplendent
leaf. The true life appears when its mate
rial robe is about to complete its transient
ministry. The spirits radiance then cap.
lures the physical until It's own sweetness
and saintliness finds some measure Of ade-
quate expression, and prophesies by It's di.
vine TRANSPORTATION Of It's diviner destiny.
Nature gives no sueer foregleams OF mans
immortal glory than. In the unspeakable
splendors OF an October day. Her revela-
tions unyeil the infinite. Pauls paradox Is
proven true-the invisible things of'God are
clearly visible through the things that are

much of success that the company
operating them has just given out an
order for 100 new vehicles. During
June, the first month of their opera
tion, total number of 632 calls were
received, averaging between thirty-two
and twelve per day, carrying 1880 pas
sengers 4603 miles at rates similar to
the horse-cab system, and each month
since that time has seen q steady in
crease in the service.
The best results obtained from these
vehicles show that about 1.25 horse
power is supplied for propulsion of
1000 pounds over ordinarily level roads
at speed of ten miles an hour. This
consumption of power is triae over
two and one-third times that of similar
work on rails, which indicates that the
equipment of the battery is carefully
adapted to the total weight of the vehi-
Gle and just sufficient for practical
travelling capacity. The maximum
weight of battery for hanson weigh
ing 5000 pounds is 1900 pounds for a
distance of twenty-five miles at the
maximum speed of twelve miles or at
an average speed of six miles.

81 The largest gun ever built is now
being constructed at the Bethlehem
S Penn. Iron Works. This enormous
piece of ordnance will weigh, when
completed, 1876 tons. 1t will exceed
by SIX tons weight the monster gun
which Krupp, of Germany, exhibited
at the Worlds Fair, in Chicago, and
in length it will be nearly five feet
longer than the German gun.
This monster gun is being fabrl-
Gated under the War Department. 1t
is the biggest order ever given to any
establishment in the world.
The great gun is being built under
The superintendence of John F.

Lifsbo.s Propelled By Hydraulic Power

Lifebost Propelled BY Hydraulic Power.
Even though Germany can boast of
the largest and fastest passenger ves-
sci aaoat, England has the finest,
largest and safest lifeboat ever
launched. She is the Queen, built by
Messrs. Thornycroft, at Chiswick, and
is of thirty tons displacem ent.
Although propelled by steam, she
has neither paddles nor propeller.
Her motive power is rather novel and
an innovation in maritime architec-
ture. Her power is hydraulic, sea
water being pumped in fore or aft, as
may be required.
The force of the water elected from
the tubes drives the boat through the
watersat q rate of speed equal to
that of a similar sized propeller
driven vessel. The advantage of
this method of propulsion lies
in the fact that, having neither pro-
peller nor wheel, these appendages
cannot become entangled in wreckage,
thus endaugering the stability of the
boat. .t-
The Queen carries a crew of nine
and can carry forty passengers. She
can burn either. coal or liquid fuel and
has been thoroughly tested by the
officials of the Lifeboat Association.
