AUTOMOBILES IN THE SAHARA
French Government Plans Il Regular
Service for the Great
Desert.

The automobile has invaded the
desert of Sahara. Several French
men have made trip S recently
through a large part of the waste
country in southern AlGierS with
such success that the French govern
ment has officially undertaken n
series of tests. y project for q reg
ular service of control and revictuaI-
inc. has resulted. The government
plans to connect the various GASES
by regular lines of aut ON obileS, says
the Chicago Inter Oceon.
Since Frances greed for territ ory
has impelled her to spread the boun-
dares of her African possessions far
into the Sahara desert. the problem
of keeping open lines of commune
cation and supply has been most Sc
riouS. At present camels are used
to transport the necessary goods and
provisions from oasis to oasis and
to carry the mails. But it is hoped
now to change this.
Clmels can 90 about three days
without water, although to be kept
in the best of condition they should
have water every day. Their norma
rate of travel is from three to five
miles an hour. although the best
dromcdares will make ten miles an
hour and keep ii up for ten hours n
day.
With these limitations. the prob
Lena of communicating across the
desert between points over 300 miles
apart has been an extremely diff
cult one. And farther to the south
where the GASES are more remote and
the tcmpera ture often reaches 1873
degrees. the task has been practical
ly an impossibility.
The experiments made have shown
that gasoline automobiles can far
outdo the camel as Il means of trans
puTta ton in dry countries. Trips of
500 miles in length can be accom-
plished without great difficulty.
Twenty miles an hour is attained in
many parts Of the desert. and the
best speed of the camelS can be prac-
ticalIy doubled anywhere. Besides
this, high temperatures have no eff
feet on the running of the machines.
and the amount of goods that can be
carried is largely in excess of u
cameIs load.
In the desert of Sahara there are
between 100000 and 2.50O.OOO square
miles. The exact extent of he waste
of shifting sands is Unilnowr \
part of it is now open to some de-
gree of civilization, through the long
distance travelling powers of the
camels. If the automobiles prove as
great a success in the desert as the
preliminary experiments promise, an
other large part of the desert will
become tributary to civilized man.

A GOOD EXAMPLE.
beneficial influence of Good Nature
in the Elders Upon the
Young.

One person doing right under adj
verse circumstances will accomplish
more than many treatises about what
is right. The census has never been
taken of lovely old folks. Most of us
if we have not .,uch one in our own
house now, have in our memory such
a saint. says the Detroit Free Press
We went to those old people with
all our troubles. They were per
petual evangelists; by their soothing
words, by their pefulness of spirit
an ineXpresSible help. / cannot see
how Heaven could make them any
lovelier than they are, or We're. But
there are exceptions. There is a
daughter in that family whose father
is impatient and the mother queru-
lous. The passage of many years does
not always improve the disposition,
and there are Il great many Disagree
a bic old folks. Some of them forget
that they were ever young them
selves, and they become rntidy in
their habits. and wonder how. when
their asthma or rheumatism is so bad.
other people can laugh or sing and go
on they do. The daughter in that
family bears all their peevishness and
unreasona BILE behavior without an
swerin% back or making any kind of
complaint. If you ask her what her
five talents are, or her one talent is.
She would answer that she has no
talent at all. Greatly mistaken is
she. Her one talent is to for
bear and treat the childishness
of the old, as we'll as the
childisEness of the young. She
is no musician, and besides there
may not be piano in the house; she
cannot sllillfully swing Il croQuet
mallet or golf stick; indeed. she
seems shut up to see what she can
do with Il ladle and broom and
brush and other household nipple

Naturaiists in Germany are much in
terested in wond erful old tree which
has been discovered near Homburg. 1t
is an oak. and is notable not only on
account of its great bulk. but also for
the fact that at the base of the trunk
it is entirely hollow. The trunk, in
deed, is not more than eight or nine
feet high. but it is more than 90 feet
in circumference. Some idea of the
size of it's interior may be gathered
from the fact that four persons re
Gently found ample room in it. In
winter the old oak looks very bare
and gaunt, but, according to peasants
in the neighborhood. who have known
il for many years. it regularly puts
forth new twigs and foliage every
spring, so that, ancient and decayed
though it's trunk may be. it is never
thelesS crowned and surrounded With
masses of green leaves. just as it was
in the days of its youth. The people
of Homburg are very proud of this
natural curiosity, and it is safe to say
that many tourists will have look at

SCHOOL SAVINGS BANKS.
Occupy Important Place in the
Educational system of the
Country.

The school savings bank has grad
ually come to occupy an important
place in this country'S educationa |
system. While it is nowhere obliga-
tory that teachers or school officers
shall assume these new responsible
ties. they in many eases have volun-
teered to adopt the plan when its
benefits have come to De underSt God.
In many parts of the United States.
and especially in the west. the recent
development of the school banks has
been rapid. California has esta b.
lished the system in a number of
towns and cities within a few
months, and there are indica tions
that the practical teaching of les
sons of thrift in the public schools
may soon become general, saws the
Philadelphia Times.
1t is stated by the statistician of
this movement that there are now
3.5SS school banks in the United
States, which have 63.5G7 depositors.
The amount deposited in these
schools since the work was estab-
iished is placed at $4,000 and the
amount remaining on deposit on Jan
uary l last was $355.OOO. 1t is doubt
full, however, if tn, Sc figures are com
plete. In Montgomery county, in this
state, where the work seems to have
advanced farther than in any other
section of the country. the scholars
have deposited in about ten years no
less than $4,000. and on January /
last 1909 depositors still had in bank
$4O,6lS. In Atlantic City the deposits
amounted to S6,376 during the last
school year.

FR1LLs OF FASHION.
Pretty Fancies That Are Now In Fa-
vOr with Followers of
Fine Dress.

Gloves for the elbow-sleeved gown
are shown with lacing of gold or silver
cord from waist to elbow on the outer
seam. The same thing is seen in Shout
der length gloves and the lacing is
not only decorate but also useful in
fitting the glove to the arm and keep
ing it in place, says the New York Sun.
The latest thing in presents for the
golf girl is pair, or many pairs, of
the startling red or green silk golf
stockings, with huge monographs en-
broidered on the knees. The red
stockings have the monogram in
green, the green ones in red, and the
girl who will not embroider pair for
her chum is no true friend.
Wond erful colorings and designs are
appearing in the new silks, the manu-
facturers seeming to have counted con-
fidently on increasing popularity for
the Louis WI. and Louis XIV. modes.
These exquisite brocades and stripes
will make stunning coats, and the
beautiful pompadour silks will be
used more than ever, as Foundation for
chiffon. mousseline and other semi
transparent materials.
Jeweled lace is a fad in both Paris
and London, and is gorgeous toilette
detail even if slightly barbaric. Many
a 2rande dame wears real jewels OF
great value sprinllled over her old
point. but the ordinary woman can ac-
complish wonders by buying the imita-
ton stones which are sold for the pur-
pose and applying them artistically to
handsome heavy lace.
The latest imported French lingerie
shows all the seams Joined by narrow
beading instead of being sewed as
seams. On some Of the garments baby
ribbon is run through all of this bead
ing. but that elaboration is not consid-
cred necessary.
a bit of feminine folly which is, 50
the corset makers say, becoming more
common than ever before. consists in
havin" the skirt hook on the front of
the corset and the garter clasps and
fixtures of the carriers attached to the
corSets made of gold and often ieweled.
Corset and garter sets for this pur-
pose are shown in all of the swell cor
set shops. and the prices of the sets
run from ten dollars to sums that rep
resent mild extravaganza.
The display of art jewels at the Paris
exposition has had much to do with
spreading a taste for the unusual and
unique in jewels, and the jewelers.
shops are full of odd and beautiful eX
amples of the art work. There is a
greater call for hand-wrought gold
work than ever before within the mem
DRY of this generation. and it is diff
cult to find goldsmiths who are equal
to the demands of this new fad. One
firm noted for its exclusive i%ns has
a series of birthday rings, designed for
the Paris exposition and altogether
charming. The sign of the zodiac is
used for the motif in the carving of
the ring. and the birthstone. in ca
bochon form. is shown somewhere in
the design. but not conventionally set.

THE MEADOW LARK.

"A sea of grass on either side
The prairie stretches far and wide;
Its undulating line of blades A..
Reflects the noontide lights and shades,
And brings before me one by one
The pictures wrought by wind and sun.
And silence reigns. save for the breeze
And muffled hum of droning bees,
Till in the summer hush l hear
A prairie signal sweet and clear,
In mournful, piercing notes that mark
The whistle of the meaGow-lark.
Like one wild cry for loved and lost,
From a lone spirit tempest-tossed,
1t walls across the waving grass.
And, blending with the winds that pass
1t scatters echoes at my feet
So full of pain, so deadly sweet.
Oh! heart of hearts could my unrest
Find such song within my breast
My passionate and yearEing cry
Would echo on from to sky
Along the path of future years,
And touch the istening world to tears.
