GLASSES FOR AUTOMOBILES
Face when Going at
High speed.

To the various sorts of glasses de-
signed for drivers use have now been
added automobile glasses, especially
designed for the use of the automobile
driver. These are not worn in the city,
where, with the restrictions on the
speed of automobiles, they are not
needed; but they are worn in the coun-
try, where the automobilist UNI
shackles the machine and let's il go at
40 or so miles an hour, more or less.
Going at that speed his eyes need pro-
lection; and this is afforded by the
automobile glasses, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean.
These glasses are spectacles fitted
with very large shcll-shaped or con-
vexed glasses, the size and the shape
giving large field of vision. Attached
to the frame is a mask that projects
high enough above the glasses to cover
the forehead of the wearer, up under
the peak of the cap, and that extends
below the glasses and out at the sides
along the spectacle bows, sufficiently
to cover the entire face, front and
sides.
For winter wear, when some
warmth in it would be desirable, The
mask is made of suede leather, lined
with silk; for summer use these
glasses are made with the mask of
unlined silk, either of the gray suede
color or of black.
Automobile glasses are French no
ton, and originally all those sold here
were imported from France. Now
they are made here. Lots of them
are sold. They cost, according to the
material the mask is made of, from
$3.50 to SIS a pair.

An InsuIted Golfer.

An inquisitive commuter on one of
the trains that pulled into the
Grand Central station had his dignity
rutfled the other day by facetious
engineer. The commuter wore u golf
suit of the latest pattern. His suit
wasn't rufiled, but his temper was,
when the engineer took him for BIZ
cycle rider. Mr.. Inquistive, seeing
that the big locomotive in the yard
was in some sort of trouble, yelled
at the engineer a query as to what
was the matter. His curiosity was
satisfied and his suit of clothes in
suited when the grimy engineer
shouted back at him: Nothing much;
just punctured my tire. Got pocke;
pump with you?"

ORGANS CARRIED IN TRUNKS.
One That Travelled Around the World
MANY Are Thus Carried in
This Country.

'In the Sun awhile ago" said man
ufacturer of organs, says the New
York journal, ~ read an interesting
paragraph about trunk that a New
York manufactures had made for an
organ that was carried around the
world by Ira ID. Sankey, the singing
evangelist. He carried the organ with
him to be sure to have one to use when
ever he wanted it, and he had that
trunk made for it to insure its safety
in transportation, and to make it
easy TO transport instead of boxing
and unlocking it every time. They
used to carry this organ in its trunk
right onto the stage and just open the
trunk and throw the top and sides
back and there was the organ ready
for use.
Every probably that organ trunk
made the longest continuous journey
Of any ever made, but L guess you
would find 4 dozen or dozens of organs
toted all over this country in trunks
made to carry them in. These organs
are carried by theatrical and other
travelling entertainments. 1t might
seem as though an organ could be
found anywhere i'm the country, but as
n matter Of fact that is not so. Car
rying an organ along they avoid all
difficulty and have just what they
want. And if you could get them all
into n bundle together I guess you
could gather up something like a
carload OF baggage consisting of or
cams carried in 1rIInl<s'

ships Disappear and Leave No Sign.

a paper bearing the prosaic title
of "Underladen Sailing Ships and
Steamers" read before the Shipmas-
ters' society by William Allingham,
contained enough material to have
furnished Clark Russell with n foun-
dation for n dozen sea romances, says
London paper. The public know
of some of the risks incurred by
those who 60 down to the sea in
ships. But one not frequently heard
of by landsmen is that of under
loading when in ballast" The
danger of undertaking, Mr.. Alling-
ham pointed out, was hardly less
great than that of overlooking. Yet
sailing ships and steamers proceed
to sea daily with insufficient ballast,
whereas an overladen vessel would
be prevented from leaving port. The
question of providing an underload
line in addition to the present load
line might well be considered. In the
period from 1890 to 1900 no fewer
than 20 British ships disappeared
while on interocean voyages without
leaving a trace as to their fate.

SPECULATION IN 1921 CENTS.
They VIII Easily bring Nineteen
Dollars In the Coin
Market.

A clustering young woman, out OF
breath as though walking fast,
rushed up the steps of the mint the
other day, and asked to be directed
to the bureau Of information.
"There isn't any," replied the uni
formed messenger, very fat man.,
reports the Philadelphia Record.
"Perhaps / can tell you what you
want to know" perhaps you can,"
said the young woman, producing n
copy of frivolous weekly paper. II
pointed to a paragraph which read:
"Among the curiosities of collecting
is the fact that 1901 cents now bring
about $40 in the coin market"
The fat messenger adjusted his
glasses and scrutinized the para
graph. While he was thus engaged
the young woman explained that she
had four 1901 cents, and wanted to
know what made them so valuable,
and where she could realize on them.
Then the fat messenger grew purple
in the face from suppressed laughter,
which finally exploded and seemed in
momentary danger of having an
apopleptic fit. He called the atten-
ton of the other messengers to the
paragraph, and then followed COM
bined roars of merriment. In the
meantime the young woman with the
four 1901 cents wondered if she had
strayed by mistake into a lunatic
asylum. Finally the fat messenger
regained his breath sufficiently to
gasp: ITS a joke. Don't you see?
I'll give you $40 for 1901 pennies, and
I'll be cent ahead of the game.
See?" A great light seemed to dawn
in the mind of the young woman. Il
dare say it's very funny" she said,
"rbut l don't think such things ought
to be printed" And she made her
exit sorrowfully.

Blue Ribbon Me-.

Many OF the best stables %.
horses in training are on the way :,
Detroit for the meeting which begins
July 18th, and lasts the entire week.
There are now over one hundred horses
on the track, and before the meeting
opens, the four hundred stalls inside
the track will all be occupied and at
least one hundred will be located in
quarters adjoining the grounds.
There will be any number of sensa-
tional contests during the meeting,
and the fastest horses in the world will
come together.
Special rates have been made by the
railroads for the benefit Of those who
wish to attend the meeting and one
fare is granted for the radius Of one
hundred and fifty-tive: miles, good for
July 18th, to return July goth.
The stakes for which the Detroit
Driving Club is world famous have at
tracted an unusual list Of nominations.

Blue Ribbon stakes is an honor not
easily acquired.
First in age and interest is the Mer-

2:24 trotters. uThis is Of $40, 900 valua-
tion, and its importance is attested by
the hundreds Of promising trotters
that are each year held back in the
hope that they may be able to win the
next one. The field for this year is
superb in every particular. The field
of starters will be larger than ever be-
fore, and the race should be as bitterly
fought as any Of the ones in the past.
1.-THE $1,000 Chamber of CommeI( e

events for the horses Of the lateral

The starters summons will bring the
largest field in history ITO the stretch
for the first score. Wonderful flights
of speed have been shown by some Of
these entries, and the time will doubt

ACTS AS GAME CONSTABLE.
The Young Husband of Queen Will
heImina Acts i'm a Humble
Official Position.

Queen Wilhelmina's new husband
has acquired distinction in the vicin-
ity of the royal residence by acting
as game warden. Two jolly Dutch
men fond of poaching entered the for
est of Loo a few days ago in the hope
of being able to snare few par
tridges, says a London exchange.
In this task they were quite success
full, but as they were sneaking home
through the trees at little distance
from the royal castle in which Queen
Wilhelmina and the prince Of Mecklen-
burg are spending their honeymoon
they found themselves face to face
with another sportsman.
1t was, in fact, the prince of Neck
lenburg himself.
The poachers did not know him, and
the two Dutchmen never sus-
pecting that this handsome young
gentleman was laying trap, told him
all about themselves and consequently
were surprised when the prince told
them to hand over their cartridges
and give him their names. They COM
piled sullenly and then went home,
where they were arrested few hours
later on the charge Of poaching.
The prince of Mecklenburg has
never been popular with the people
of Holland, and his action on this oc-
casion has helped to intensity the i'll
feeling against him, since the general
opinion is that man in his position
could afford TO overlook the peccadillo
of which the two Dutchmen were

TO MAKE MEN BEAUTIFUL.
Moscow Establishment Where the
Deformed and Ugly Are
Transformed.

That mer ought to desire physical
beauty as much as women is the firm
belief of two German merchants, who
have opened at Moscow a store in
which, they claim, any man who is
deformed or ugly can find appliances
that will speedily remove all his de-
fects and transform him into thing
of beauty, says foreign exchange.
This transformation will. naturally
cost him some money, but not-much.
If his calves are not well shaped and
he desires to have them padded he
need only pay ten francs, and if he
is pigeon-breasted and desires the
chest of a gladiator he can acquire
that commodity by paying a trife of
25 francs.

Music of Bectles.

While the structure of the music OF
stimulating organs of beetles is ex-
trcmcly simple, they sometimes pos
sess contrivances for varying the
pitch. The general structure Of such
an organ is a hard surface covered
with situations, over which some
other member of the body furnished
with rasping edge or area is rubbed.
When the striated surface is divided
into parts with finer and coarser
markings, variations of pitch can be
produced.

GREATEST CHURN OF THE CEN.
TURY.
Butter in Ten Minutes.

This is a fact, as is being demon
strated in our city by the operations of
the Franklin Extractor. The finest
butter ever seen in our town is made on
this machine by the representative Of
the Chicago Hardware Foundry Co., of
Chicago, ILL., The machine is neces-
sity to all butter makers, as it makes
more butter and better butter from
given amount of cream than any churn
ever invented. We here quote what
the press says, and the most scientific
butter makers of the Union and states
where it has been introduced, and we
ask our readers to read carefully these
endorsements. This machine comes to
us recommended and endorsed by the
best business men of this nation. The
Chicago Hardware Foundry Co. is one
of the largest manufactures in Chicago,
and they guarantee this machine for
five years. They further guarantee il
to produce a better grain butter and
more to the gallon than any other
clurn, and as to time, is world
beaten. Here is what the press says:
The following speaks of it as 1.-The
invention of the century" and is taken
from the Daily Herald, Washington c.
H., Ohio, of April 90, 1901:
We take pleasure in giving to the
public the opinions of some of our best
butter makers in this community on
the merits of this inventions;
Mr.. Hugh X. Stewart, one of the
most responsible and substantial busi-
ness men in Ohio, owner of the cele.
brated Spring Hill Jersey Herd, says:
TO THE BUTTER MAKERS OF OHIO:-I
take pleasure in recommending in the
strongest terms the Franklin Aerating
Churn Extractor. l have tested il in
every conceivable way with my own
cream and find, as a Jersey breeder
OF experience, that the machine is in
valuable to all breeders in particular,
and all butter makers in general. 1t
produces more butter from given
amount of cream than any other churn
ever invented, and the grade is by far
the best | ever examined. From one Of
my thoroughbreds, under test with
this machine, increased the amount of
one days milking one-half pound.
This phenomenal increase is invaluable
to every thoughtful jersey breeder.
The machine is simple, easily handled,
and anyone who can turn grindstone
can use it. To my mind it is the most
phenomenal invention of this century
and will soon pay for itself by the in
creased amount of butter, as well as the
improved quality. No creamery can
approach the grain and aroma, and this
churn gets all the butter from sweet
cream. Yours truly.
HUGH X. STEWART.
Jersey Breeder and Owner of Spring
hill Jersey Herd.
This endorsement coming from Mr..
Stewart is sufficient to establish beyond
a reasonable doubt the wonderful merits
of this machine.
The representatives of the Chicago
Hardware Foundry Co. are in the city
looking for a first-class man TO place
in charge of the county, ard we are in
formed that any live, hustling man in
the county can make from 5000 to
$500 per day.
Messrs. McDonough and Edwards can
be found at the New National Hotel at
any time to give further particulars.
