WHEN AN AXLE BREAKS.
How Damaged Vehicles Get TO the
Repair Shop.


The common way of getting a We
hcle to the repair shop when an axle
breaks close TO the hub, as it usually
does, Is In the case of "A rear axle, 10 get
piece of joist or other timber from
the nearest convenient place, make the
forward end of it fast 10 the front axle,
and let the other end trail under the
broken axle, which rests upon it, the
end of the ioist dragging on the pave
ment behind. Thus supported says
the New York Sun. he broken end OF
the axle Is kept clear of the pavement,
but not So high ms il would be If In or
der and with wheel on it. and 81 the
vehicle thus drawn off 10 the shop has
a decided sag.
A better way Of getting the vehicle
with a broken axle 10 the shop, and one
often used on heavier vehicles, such as
coaches and large wagons, Is 10 make
fast to the broken axle short section
of axle with wheel turning on 1t,
such a. repair shops keep ready for
such use: wheels of different sizes, as
front wheels and rear wheels, turning
on short length OF axle, which Is Sc

clips. This temporary wheel may per
haps he of different color from the
other three, but II holds the vehicle up
to its usual level, keeps II from raeking,
and by this means 1t IS drawn easily
and safely to the shop.
II may be, however. that for the
very largest vehicles such spare wheels
and axles are not kept; and. in that
case. this vehicle would he got to the
shop in the same way as the lghtest of
vehicles, but with the use of rather
heavier materials. Thus, when the
rear axles of one of those long four
wheel trucks. such as are now used for
the transportation of ponderous iron
beams, was broken off at the wheel, the
axle was supported ON a long, square.

The Reichswehr gives an almost

the operations was not only short

perfectly untried hands. incapable of

by their bungling carelessness. There
was special lack of engineers and
firemen, TO an extent, indeed, which
endangered the safety of the ships. The
allowance of ammunition which had
ben placed on each vessel was absurd

OF systematic gun practice impossible.

In the biography of Prince Bismarck
it is said that when he was minister at
st. Petersburg he was walking one
morning in the summer garden and met
the ear, who invited him to join him.
Presently Bismarck noticed a sentry
stationed in the middle of a large grass
plot and asked the aid-de-eamp, who in
turn inquired of the sentry.
ut is ordered, was his reply.
Every official gave the same answer
at is ordered, " but nobody knew by
whom. A sentry had always stood
guard in the middle of that innocent
grass plot. The archives We're searched
but in vain. At last an aged official
was found, who had been told by his
father that this Empress Catherine had
once seen a snowdrop ready to bloom in
the spot, and had ordered sentry to
stand guard and allow no one to pluck
it. For more than century the watch
had been maintained because sit was
ordered, " and no one had ever thought

At Cargese we have the remarkable
spectacle of a Greek population with
its own church settled down on the
coast of Corsica. Our inn is kept by a
Greek from Corfu. as his name, Cor
fiotti, tells us and as the loquacity- Of
his wife would lead us to infer: for at
Cargese the Corsiean taeiturnity has
given place to the Hellenic love of talk.
Rather more than two centuries ago a
Greek settlement was founded III Cor
sica under the auspices Of the Genoese
republic. to which the island at that
time belonged, and when the French
came into possession of the country they
established the Hellenic exiles. who had
meanwhile founded the Chapelle des
Grees just outside Ajaccio at Cargess
and built them the church which they
have ever since cherished.
Intermarriages between the eolonist'
and the natives. at first rare. have now
become frequent, and it Is to be feared
that the Greek language will soon be-
come as extinct there as the fustanella.
But with that wonderful tenaeity
which il shows in modern Greece. IL
spite of centuries of barbarian inroad'
and Turkish oppression, the Greek type
is sure to remain at Cargese TO remind
the traveller of its eternal youth and its
unfailing characteristics. w estmins

Julius Cesar.

OF all great conquerors writes Marion
Crawford in "Studies From the Chron-
icles of Rome. he was the least cruel
for he never sacrificed human life with
out the direct intention of benefting
mankind by an increased social stabili-
ty. OF all great lawgiyers, he was the
most wise and just, and the truths he
set down in the Julian code are the
foundation of modern justice. OF all
great men who have leaped upon the
world as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless hands
and ridden it breathless to the goal OF
glory, Caesar is the only one who turned
the race into the track of civilization
and. dying, left mankind future in
the memory of his past. He is the one
great man of all without whom it is
impossible to imagine history. We can
not take him away and yet leave any
thing of what we have. The world
could have been as it is without Alex
ander, without Charlemagne, without
Napoleon. 1t could not have been the
world we know without Caius julius
