KIDNAPPED BY AN AUTOMOBILE
Exasperating Experience of a Boston
Woman with a Horseless and
Whoaless Carriage.

A woman residing in the Back bay
recently engaged an automobile for
the purpose of making round of aft
ernoon calls. After giving the driver
the address of the first stopping place,
she settled herself comfortably, and
gave herself up to the enjoyment of rid
ing along at rapid pace IN this latest
of vehicles, says the Boston Evening
Transcript.
Shortly, however, she realized that
she was being carried along at more
rapid rate of speed than she thought
wise, and what was her surprise min
ute or two later to find herself passing
the address that she had given, and
with no apparent intention on the part
of the driver to stop. She signaled to
the man outside, and after a short de-
lay he leaned forward and startled her
by saying that he had lost control of
the power. This meant that while he
was able to direct the vehicle he could
not shut off the power, and then she
would be compelled to ride until it was
exhausted. Straight out toward
Brookline went the runaway, turning
down side streets and keeping off from
the main highways as much as posi-
BILE. SO as to avoid electric cars and car
riages.
After about an hours ride, which
had been extended out into the New
tons, the automobile came, to a stop,
and the driver dismounting from his
seat, came around to the door and calm
ly told the lady that the trip was COM
pleted, and that he would have to send
to Boston for assistance to get his We
hicle back. The lady's disgust was ex-
pressed in more or less vigorous terms
as she realized that her afternoon had
been passed in runaway automobile
instead of in making calls, as she had
anticipated. She returned TO Boston
in an electric car, and had to pay her
fare at that

THE COOLING EARTH.
Interior Shrank. Leaving Great
Wrinkles and EOIIows on It's
smooth Surface,

Once upon time, the learned men
was part of the sun and was thrown
off from it-taking the round form it
has, as it whirled about through
space. At that time ii was terrifcal-
ly hot, like the sun from which it
was thrown out, and probably in the
form of gas. But being much small
er than the sun it cooled much more
quickly and became white-hot liquid.
And this, too, gradually cooled more
and more, until at last a thin crust
began to form on all around it, as u
film forms on cooling molasses candy,
when it begins to harden. The water
in the air about it frequently formed
into rain and fell on the hot surface
and helped to cool it. though, of
course, it evaporated again very quick
ly from SO hot a place. But after a
time it did not evaporate so quickly,
but remained on the crust and grad
ually formed an ocean all around the
earth. And the inside of the earth
went on cooling under this first hard
ened crust and shrunk as it cooled,
for all things grow smaller as they
cool off. You can easily prove this
yourself by heating the end Of key
that fits a lock slugly; and you will
find that, when it is quite hot, you
cannot get it into the lock at all, but
as soon as it cools it will go in again,
as before. So the inner part Of the
earth went on shrinking, and finally
it shrunk so much that the outside
crust, which was not so very thick,
comparatively speaking, doubled up
and cracked at different spots all
round the earth, so that the surface,
which must before have been pretty
smooth, became rough with high ele-
vations and deep depressions, and nat
urally all the water flowed into those
deep depressions and formed oceans
in spots where there had been before
a single ocean reaching all around the
globe.
