A novel invention has been exhibit
ed before a large number of persons
by J. M. Alves, a Russian civil en-
gineer in st. Petersburg. With this
invention he proposes to revolutionize
wheel locomotion. By attaching it to
the wheels Of any vehicle friction is
reduced to the lowest possible limit.
To the amazement Of the spectators
an ordinary horse easily drew a wagon
loaded with two and a half tons of
goods. The mechanis q OF this de-
vice was kept a secret, the wheels
being covered with a wooden frame
work. This precaution on the part
of the inventor, it was explained, was
because he had just applied for a pa
tent and did not wish his invention
made public until it had been pro.
tsctsd BY the patent.

Disrespect to the French Flag.

According to a correspondent of the
Gaulois the garrison at Toulon has
Just been treated to a remarkable
spectacle. A soldier Of the Eighth
regiment of marines, under the inAu-
ence of drink or discomfort, or both,
insulted the national flag. He was
duly reported, and the matter was
finally brought to the notice of the
general, who saw the opportunity for
a grand patriotic display. All the
troops of the garrison were formed in
hollow square on the parade ground,
with the flag in the middle. Then the
general called upon the luckIess piou-
piou by name. He fell out of the
ranks, marched to the flag, saluted it,
and uttered a faltering apology. SIT
is WE'LL" exclaimed General Coron-
nat, "but if this man had not shown
