"HINDSIGHT" POSSIBLE.
A Posl-Vsual Reflector" for Use by lockers, EI.
cyclists and others.

"Hindslght" is better than foresight
| in some contingencies. and a man whu
appreciates that fact has laid the
foundation of modest fortune in se-
curing a patent upon a novel little de-
vice which supplies "hindsight" to tha
people who need it most.
"A post-yisual reflector" Is what th9
inventor calls his new invention Ii
is an arrangement OF adjusted mirrors,
which enables the wearer to see every-
thing occurring within certain ranga
behind his back without turning his
head.
The post-visual reflector will be uses
full 10 Jockeys drivers, rowers and cy-
clists, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
For Jockeys this appliance is fasten-
ed TO the bows OF pair OF big specta-
cles, fitted with char glasses of no
magnifying power. The glasses are in~
tended as mudguards, TO protect thu
eyes from the dirt thrown up by the
horses flying feet. The little reflectors
are fastened above the glasses. and SET
an angle which brings the fun width
of a racetrack for a distance OF one
hundred yards within clear range %
vision.
For rowers and bicyclists the posts
visual reflector is as valuable as II Is
to horsemen.
Rowers and cyclists do not need tha
mudguards, and for them second pa-
tent provides for the adjustment of the
rcflectors TO a light head band. which
holds them in exact relative position tn
the eye, no matter at what angle tha
head of the wearer may be turned.

THE American yacht is still supreme.
Challengers for the Americas cup have
gone. down one after the other before
the prowess OF the American designer
and sailor and Shamrock has not inter-
Iupted the record yet nor is she in the
least likely 10. Englishmen: Scotchmen,
Canadians and Irshmen have tried 10
capture the cup With the result of un-
falling failure. Shamrock represents

matter OF nationality. She is owned by
an Irishman designed by a Scotchman
and built by Englishmen and the pro-
duct OF the combined talent is rated by
her owner as the best that Great Brit
ain. bringing all it's resources into play,
can produce. Yesterday she was beaten
almost as badly as ever was a challen-
ger and much worse than some of them
have been. The race was a walk over.
There was never a momen; when Co
lumbia was not winning and the result
would have been the same whether the
race had been finished at the end OF
the fifth. the fifteenth or the thirtieth
mile. Shamrock is simply not in the
class with Columbia.

THE BEGINNING or AUSTRALIA.

The following IL quoted from the Pail
Mall Magazine for October: when the
Endeavourer reached England. the en-
thusiastic accounts given by the ex-
plorers OF the eastern shores of Aus
tralia aroused no little interest: and
when the independence of the Amer
lean states had been achieved. stimu-
lated a desire on the part os many to
undertake what Bacon calls "the heroic
work of colonization of the great vir-
gin continent in the southern seas. In
1888. when the Pitt ministry was in
office, bill passed Parliament author

later, under that Infamous term were
comprised most different degrees and
species Of guilt. Many of the offenders
a century ago were transported for tri-
ling breaches of the law which no one
would now include In the category OF
offences. much less of crimes. Strange
as il may seem TO say so. the new poll
cy was conceived in spirit of phil
anthropy. and marked, in a sense a
benefcent revolt against the merciless
severity of the criminal laws.

WHERE DISILLUSIoNS BEGIN.

In the parlor OF hotel recently the
conversation turned upon ill-assorted
marriages and especially upon the illu-
sions of the days of courtship. and one
gentleman related his experience. He
had been charmed by young. beautiful
creature. whose attractiveness, as ne
afterward found, lay largely in her
ability to set off her fine points through
tasteful dress and by little arts of the
toilet. Her musical voice seemed like
a birds notes
One morning he conceived the idea
OF surprising her in her home in sub

should find her out among the hover
beds. and was somewhat disappointed
on arriving at her home ana looking
around the attractive lawn that he
caught no glimpse OF the one being who
