MOTOR CARS IN MODERN WAR.
British Military Men Engaged I'm Ex-
plotting q Novel Feature.


plotting q Novel Feature.
British military men are discussing
very seriously the possible uses in war
of the motor car-not of the imperfect
motor at which cabmen have jeered,
but of some idealized and perfected
motor car the pattern of which is still
laid up in the brain of an inventor. Mr..
Thornycroft, the torpedo boat builder,
has already made some successful trips
in what he calls a steam van, and is
not without hopes of improving upon
his idea. Where good roads exist a
trustworthy motor car might be made
to do excellent service in carrying pro-
visions and ammunition. In a modern
battle it might we'll seem to be as much
out of place as 8 Queen Boadicea's
Scythed chariots, but it might be made
useful as kind of movable hospital
and for the conveyance of the wounded
to the rear. Armor plated and fur
nished with Maxims or other light and
quick-fring guns, the car might con-
ceivably be used to charge an enemy.
Caran D'Ache several months ago made
what he calls "Automobilism in War"
subject of one of his caricatures. He
imagines an automatic clockwork SOL
der running on wheels and serving
the double purpose of a stalking-horse
and carrier of soldiers kit.

A wandering Lake.

The Swedish explorer of Central Asia,
Sven Hedin, gives the latest information
concerning the wandering" of Lake
Nor in the Cobb desert, a phenomena
about which contradictory views have
been entertained. He says that Tarim
river, entering the lake from the west,
brings down, during the period of high
water late in summer, a great quantity
of silt, which has the effect of driving
the lake, lying on the level floor of the
desert, toward the southeast. But the
summer wind, drifting the surface sand
and darkening the heavens with dust,
blows generally from the northeast and
it, too, tends to drive the lake before it.
The combined effect of the urging by
the wind and the river is to force the
lake southwark. Yet Sven Hedin thinks
the migration of the lake is not constant
in direction, but it shifts back and forth
Internationally, according as the cir
cumstances change.

SPONGE FISHING.
Method of Securing the Useful Arti-
cles Is n Trying One.

uchhoo VI thc SsSlul
cles Is n Trying One.
Lying on his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass-a pane set in a box fitted with
handles-looks down 40 feet into the
clear depths. With one hand he grasps
and sinks slender pole, sometimes so
feet in length, fitted at the end with a
double hook. The sponge once discov-
cred, the hook is deity inserted at the
rock base, and by sudden jerk is de-
tached.
This curt description of what seems
the simple work of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the real skill and exertion
needed. The eye of the fisher has to be
trained by long experience to peer into
the sea and tell the commercially valu-
able sponges from those that are worth
less. He must have deft hand to de-
tach the sponge without tear.
Above all, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
ether thewater-glass,a as the waves sway
it sideways and up and down. The
strain on eyes and body is most intense,
to say nothing of the cramped position
end exposure TO wind and wet, which,
first and last, make almost every sponge
fisher victim of acute rheumatism.
Yet, with all his arduous toll, an expert
sponge fisher earns not more than SIS a
month, besides his keep on the boat,
which barely deserves the name of ex-
istence.

WEDNESDAY, MAY &c, 1897.
FORGOT His PARCEL.
1t Was a Lady Who Might Have Been

A rather unique instance of absent
mindedness occurred the other evening
on the jefferson avenue car line, says
the Detroit News-Tribune.
The car was well filled with passen-
gers and as a stop was made at Nc
Dougall avenue a man stepped off the
back platform, where he had been stand
ing, and the car moved on.
Instantly wild cry went up from
the late passenger, which broadened
into howl of despair as the distance
between him and the trolley car
widened.. AS he shrieked he also ran
and waved his hands frantically. The
conductor, seeing the shadowy form
in the dimness of the night and hear
ing the unearthly cries, pulled the bell
strap and thus induced the motorman
to halt, which he did with jerk. The
man in pursuit came within hailing
distance
what dye want?" shouted the
puncher of pasteboards.
81 want-the-lady-in there!"
gasped the man, swinging his hat at
the open car door. The car having
come to a dead standstill, a woman
arose, deliberately walked out of the car
and was received by her breathless es-
cort, who had so nearly left her to her
fate of missing parcels.
Amid much laughter the next man
who left the car in company with lady
insisted that she walk in front of him
until safely on the ground.

The first anatomical plates, designed to
