he received as present magnificent
cake, which he had reason 10 expect con.
tanned poison. He put the cake aside
and set al his powerful machinery to
work 10 liud out who was at the bottom
OF the plot. Ihe Investigation was part
succes ful, the crime being traced to
three men, Of hom At least, one was
absolutely guilty. Ii had the trio ar
rested and b.orpht to his yamsn. When

With the remark that "politeuess forbade
his tasting it until the three generous
donators had had an opportunity to eE-
JOY its excellence" Ii cut the cake and
one of his selvitore handed it to the un-
willing guests. Each took piece and
ate or pretended 10 eat il. One crumb-
led the piecea and let them fall on the

YOU WALK VERY FAST.
This Authority Has 1t That sS's3o
Miles an Hour Is About Your
Usual Gait.

Have YOU ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out Tor an
hours stroll2
Possibly you walk three miles In an
hour. but that does not represent the
distance you travel. The earth turns
on its axis every "a hours. In round
figures call the earth's circumference
$4,000 miles, and you must have travelled
during your hours stroll thousand
miles in the axial turn of the earth'
saws the New York World.
But this is not all. The earth makes
o journey round the sun every year
Put the distance of our planet from the
sun at 100000 miles. The diameter
is therefore 1s4,OOO,OOO miles, and the
circumference described by the earth
100000 miles. In other words, the
earth travels around the sun each day
$4,000 miles, and every hour-for in
stance the hour during which you took
your walk-the earth moved through
$4,000 miles.
So, adding your three miles OF leg
travel to the hours axial movement OF
the earth, this to the earth's orbital
tourney and that again to the earth's
excursion with the sun, and you will
find you have travelled within the hour
$1,000 miles.

CHANCE TO BE A KING.
1t IL Only Necessary to Buy One on
These Islands and Lord 1t
Over the People.

Here was great chance for people
wishing to become independent landed
proprietors. The French government
offers for sale some of the little inlands
situated at the entrance Of the bay OF
St. Malo, on the coast of Brittany.
Formerly, when the famous French
pirates jacques Cartier and Sourcouf
brought down the wrath of the English
on their heads by their acts of daring,
the victims tried to get near enough to
ST. Malo to throw flrebrands and to dis
charge cannon into the town, but they
were never able to succeed in passing
the islands.
The French government has taken
away the cannon from the fortified
walls of Gouchee, La Plata, La Ron
fleress and one or two other of these
blocks. The state, which is always
short of money, found it needless ex-
pense to keep up this property and SO
offers it for sale.
The inhabitants Of ST. Malo are very
uneasy and Disconnected at the pro-
ceeding. And not without cause, for,
no restrictions having been put upon
the sale, the highest bidder will become
practically their king, be his national
ftv what it may.
