TERRIFIC AUTOMOBILING.
FOurnier's Speed in the Recent Great
Race Over Seventy Miles m
Hour at Times.

The most wonderful long distance
credited to anyone was made by

Paris-BordeauX race, held May 20.
The 34S miles were made in eight
hours A seconds, or equal to a rate
of speed which would take the win.
ner from New York to Buffalo in u
trifie over ten hours. Had Fourier
not been forced to limit his speed to
IL liilometers an hour in passing
through Versailles, Charities, Cha.
teaudun, Nendome, Tours, Chateller-
ault Poitiers, Ruffic, Angouleme and
Iibourne, he would have made an av-
erage speed which would have taken
him from New York to Buffalo in
seven hours, or at a rate of speed
considerably faster than the world
famed empire state express travels.
There is no question, says the Auto
mobile Magazine, that at some parts
of the journey Fourier went some
what over 20 miles per hour. His
$50 miles outside Of towns were made
at an average rate of SO miles per
hour, and the average of the whole
distance, including the slowing up
through towns, was over 40 miles
per hour.
The previous record for this race
was held by Charron, his time being
IL hours minutes and 20 seconds
1t will be seen that Fourier reduced
these figures by nearly three hours
The second arrival was Farnham, in
panhard-Levassor, in nine hours
and 40 minutes, While the third man,
Voigt, VINO also operated Par
hard-Levassor, was third in nine
hours 40 minutes and IL seconds,
both beating Charrons record.

gage in Enormous Public
improvements.

In no previous period of the worlds
history have so many cities been busy
at the same time with extensive and
costly public enterprises. The daily
reader of the news of all countries
cannot fail to have noticed that the
closing years of the nineteenth CEN
fury and the opening year of the twen-
tieth have been marked by the begin
ming or the continuance of municipal
undertakings the total cost of which
will amount to hundreds of millions of
dollars, says the New York Tribune.
In London and Paris and in other cap
itals of Europe local railways, under
ground and on the surface, are in
course of construction or will be begun
at an early date. The tendency to i'm

tation is widespread and seems now to.
have become irresistible in many quar-
tiers. Progressive communities with
ample resources and conspicuous for
population and advancement are en-
tering upon notable tasks for the beue-
fit of their citizens and of strangers
within their gates.
Rapid transit is watchword al d a
rallying cry both in the eastern and
western hemispheres, and armies of
wage-earners are toiling in subWays,
on elevated roads and on the street
levels in dozens and scores of we'll
known places here and abroad. But
the principal cities of the globe are
concerned with other great works
than those which will effect the swift
distribution of hosts of passengers.
Schemes for the construction CT new
docks and piers on the most ambitious
scale, for the deepening and broaden
ing of harbor channels and for the
opening of wider avenues of commerce
and trade in the best-known ports of
various countries are more numerous
and are planned on more generous
lines. than in any former era. And the
provision of more abundant supplies
of water for cities which consume
huge quantities is drawing millions
upon millions of dollars from munich
pal treasures in the United States and
in other countries.

A FUNERAL AT SEA.
Ceremony by Those Who Have
Witnessed One.

funeral service at sea is a most
impressive scene. All hands are
dressed in white, called funeral rig"
consisting of blue cloth trousers, a
white froclk, and cloth tunic over the
frock, with a black silk handkerchief
bound around the left arm. The Off
GERS wear frock-coats and swords,
while IL marines form a firing party.
When everything is ready the ships
engines are stopped, the ensign is
hoisted half-mast at the peak or en-
sign staff, and the ships bell is tolled.
The hands are mustered on the
quarterback, and the four bearers,
usually the dead mans messmates,
bring up the body, which is sewed
in a canvas hammock and laid out
on a wooden grating.
The chaplain reads the funeral
service, and then the bearers, fol-
lowed by their messmates, walk slow
ly onto the quarterback with the
body. On arriving there the grating
is rested On the gangway, previous
ly opened.
The body is wrapped in the nation
al colors, and a signal-man attends
to holding firmly to this covering, to
prevent it going overheard with the
body.
The bearers, with the exception of
two, let go their hold upon the graf
ing and step back. When the chap
lain comes to the words: And now
we commit his body to the deep" the
two holding the grating tilt it W
ward, and the body falls into the
waters.
The marines then form upon the
gangway, and three volleys are fired
into the air, the drummer each time
sounds the salute for the dead" the
hands are dismissed, and the awful
ceremony is over.-Columbian.

BURMESE MAIDENS.
They Compare FavOrabIy with Our
Girls in Looks, But Indulge in
Strange Habits,

A traveller in far-away Burmah, of
which we know very little except
from missionary reports, says that
Burmese girls compare very favor
ably with our girls in looks and man.
ners. Of course tGey smoke cigars,
which is contrary to our standard of
good manners, but it is good form
in Burmah. Perhaps the most in
teresting trait about Burmese girls
is their passion for personal adorn-
ment, especially in the way of ear
rings.
All Burmese women, says Golden
Days, wear ear-plugs. These are as
costly as the purse of the women
can purchase, and they are like no
earrings you will find in America.
The lobes of their ears have holes
in them, each of which is from half
inch to an inch and a half in diane
Ter, and l have seen such holes
through which a mans thumb could
be thrust and not bruise the skin.
In some cases women carry these
big Burmese cigars in their ears, and
/ once saw a woman's ears in which
there were gold rings which would
have made good-sized napkin-rings.
1t seems incredible that the flesh
can stretch as it does, but some OF
the poorer women's ears are so en-.
larged by this process that the string
of flesh which hangs down in the
place of the lobe is almost as large
around as the ear itself.
The high-caSte lady has a hole il
her ear about as big around as her in
dex finger, and the ear-plugs, which
are about half an inch long, are otter
tipped with clusters of diamonds
They are sometimes of gold, and il
the cases of less well-to-do people
are plugs of solid amber.

a Burmese girl is quite as important

Jim Henley, D 3
Remittance Man
BY WILLIAM MCLEOD

I'M HENLEY, manager and part
IL owner of the Bar Il cattle ranch,
got his first sight of the new teacher
at the Half Way house just after he
had recovered from one of his period
ical sprees. He was riding along
gloomily with his cayuse at walk,
and the young man was putting in
his time hating himself savagely. In
point of fact, Henley always despised
himself after one of his outbursts,
but they happened none the less reg
ularly on that account.
He was a younger son of an old
English family, university man (Col-
lege of st. Ambrose, Oxford, and a
gentleman; add to which he was the
pluckiest man in the San Joaquin
valley-or at least one of the nerv-
lest, and that is pretty large or
der-a splendid rider, a good shot,
a handsome fellow in a devil-may-care
fashion, and was possessed of reck-
1essness enough to sink a tire e-deck-
er. His vices were those which
sprang from Incidence and unsteadi-
ness of purpose, but at bottom he had
the manliness out of which stanch
men are made. The trouble with him
was that he had always had more
money than he knew what to do
with, and unworthy companions who
were quite ready to assist him on
the downhill road. The result was
that he had long since come to feel
a cynical distrust about himself.
-'I'm bad egg, and the sooner I'm
bowled clean in the middle stump the
better it will be for my people," he
told himself, in the mixed figures he
was wont to employ. The devil of
it is that I'm liable to live 100 years
yet. Hello! What's the matter here?"
The matter appeared to be that

over which the train seems to travel
so slowly. Perhaps they remember
better the grand old mountains that
tower far up into the clouds. One
often hears the remark: "A fine
piece of engineering!" and people
exclaim over the wisdom and in
genuity of the brain that made it
possible to cross those terrible noun
tains by bridges, tunnels and SWITCH
backs. But you don't hear much
about the workmen who dug it out,
mile after mile, along the weary
stretches.
These men are called contractors,
subcontractors and men, and they
live life quite different from the;
rest of the world, particularly the
subcontractors and the men. The
work takes them from one part of
the country to another, wherever
there is "railroading" to be done,
and many of them take their fam
lilies with them. They do not sleep
in house year in and year out, but
camp near town between Jobs"
When moving camp or going on a
new piece of work, the boys and
girls mount their ponies and ride
along beside the wagons, which car
ry the scrapers, plows, cooking uten-
sis and bedding. Often the children
of the camps do not see a town or
other children for months, or some
times years at time. They grow
up very hardy and strong from the
outdoor life, but as wild as deer.

these contractors a few years ago,
and in the farther corner 1 noticed

they had on a previous occasion, SO
