great credit. Subsequently she sang here
for one season in opera comique, but the
desire to continue her studies for grand
opera proved greater than her satisfaction
at remaining in her own country. and she
returned to Europe to complete the studies
she had begun there under MarcheSi. While
she was in Paris Miss Reid was fortunate
enough to attract the attention of Lady De
Grey, who is the most powerful person in
the direction of the season at CoVent Garden
and is said to have more to say about the
engagement of artists there than anybody
else. Lady De Grey heard Miss Reid sing
was delighted with her voice and she was
engaged for the Covent Garden season with
such satisfactory results that she is again
in the company this year. Herman Benz

time in Paris under his direction. Miss Reid

Curve combination.

Samuel M. Warns makes some very inter-
esting deductions in the Bicycling World re-
garding the curve combinations evolved by
bicycle. He says:
There are many peculiarites about
cycles and cycling, and not the least inter
estlng is the number and variety of circles
and curved lines made by bicycle in mo-
ton. II a pencil We're fastened to one of
the wheels at the valve, and the machine
trundled along wall so that the pencil
would touch, a cycloidal curve would re-
suit. The two points would be seven feet
apart, while the center would be- twenty
eight inches from the ground. The geometri-
are very interesting and should perpetual
motion ever be discovered the cycloidal
curve will be a factor in it. If the wheel
were lifted from the ground the PENCIL
would, of course, describe a circle twenty
eight inches in diameter

Baltimore American.

People who formerly knew little and cared
less what kind of climate prevailed in Cuba
or the Philippine islands, or what sort of
civilization obtained there, are eager to
learn, now it is question only of time when
our own soldiers-the brothers, husbands
fathers friends of many-will occupy them.
The whole question has ceased to be vague
and is sharply definite The knowledge we
seek is no longer abstract, but full of living
present personal vitality. Our own interests
have become bound up in those of these for
eign places, ard every little detail relating
to them is now of personal consequence.
That is the great mystery of interest
after all--the human touch. A study, pur-
suit, a science must be humanized before il
can interest or move humanity. The few
may devote themselves to abstract objects
the majority require the development of hui
man. of personal interest. before their best
endeavors can be aroused. And another
point is to be noted in this connection. This
knowledge Is not only eagerly seized. but il
is also acquired with astonishing rapidty

Nothing is more perplexing to wheelman
than the conduct of the pedestrian who
starts across a street at a certain rate of
speed and in certain direction, then sud-
denly changes either. He sees wheel COM
ing, and with no cause or notice stops and
perhaps backs up or he darts ahead. The
wheelman has calculated his speed and di-
rection TO avoid collision, but this sudden
change of the pedestrian catches him. The
wheelman is hit. The pedestrian has col
Iided with a wheel; the wheel is really the
victim. The pedestrian is the one at fault.
Had he gone on as he started the wheelman
would easily have chosen safe course; he
did so and then the footman suddenly
sprang into it. The best rule for pedes-
trians is TO notice the wheel, that is, see it,
but not change either the rate or direction
of their course. If the wheel then colides
it is the wheelman'S fault But when the
pedestrian jerks about the wheelman cannot
dodge. The pedestrian cannot tell the rate
of speed of the wheel; the wheelman can
and can lay his course accordingly. OF
course these directions are based on the
idea that the parties are using ordinary
care The trouble with scorchers is that
they lay out no course; they just rush.
Such conduct is criminal. Then pedestrians
must remember that in a collision the
wheelman is likely to suffer the most harm;
he is particularly anxious TO avoid a col
liSiOn,
