received from the war department that

employees at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds must be torn down.

"Oh, you've got it. That's right" is
what the old gentleman hears his son
say as the man brushes hurriedly down
the street.
Another young fellow comes along.
He won't do it, the old man knows. He
knows the newcomer is rank on golf.
Can't talk anything else. Hears him
shout to young man: Are you in the
foursome today" No. He hasn't got

Young man speaks to him. Suddenly
the golfers face grows grave and
thoughtful. He doesn't speak for a
minute or two. but up goes his hand,
and that blamed-fool revolving motion
takes place. "Oh, that's it, is itT' says
the son. "Yes, I'll be out to play III the

An Unfortunate Mash.

An amusing accident occurred on 6
Front street cable-car the other even
ing. 1t happened just as the car neared
the turn at Pike street and 1st avenue.
Away up toward the front end of the
car a lady was sitting. She had large
basket, and bundles galore. One she
carefully deposited on the seat beside
her. Just as the car neared Pike street
young man jumped aboard-a very
homely young man to others, but to
himself veritable Beau Brummell.
He started to walk the length Of the
car to take seat He seemed perfect
Iy satisfied with himself in every par
ticular. Then the car rounded the
curve. and with that jerk we are all so
familiar with he was precipitated very
suddenly into seat next to our friend
with the bundles; in fact, he was
thrown against her as he sat down.
"Sure, and you have mashed me
caker she exclaimed.
well" he replied, with brilliant at

mash, anyhow"
Yes, indadel" was the quick reply;

Too Honest ior Society.

A demure little maid who has had
much experience in society made the
customary New Years resolutions at
the beginning of the new century, but
unlike some of her sisters, announced
the intention of using a good deal of
fiattery in her intercourse with her as
sociates in the future.
"You may talk about honesty and
sincerity all you wlsh," she said to a
friend, but neither of these qualities
makes one popular. The popular girl
is she who always has something nice
to say, whether she means 1t or not.
Perhaps I've been little too blunt in
my frankness. but at all events the
cooling dove couldn't be gentler than l
will appear In 1901.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1901-02-27

Honesty is the best policy-in busi-
ness. In society I'm not sure it isn't
the worst. As a preliminary and by
way of practice let me tell you that
you're looking remarkably well to-
night. Your frock is a dream and your
eyes are like stars. You're delight to
my eyes and the joy of my heart.
"Of course, l won't apply my compli-
ments quite so thickly as that in the
majority of cases, but I'm going to put
in artistic touches whenever think
the subject will stand for It," And then
she dashed away, intent on her new
role and quite unconscious that her last
words contained any reflection upon
the sagacity of her listener.

Railway Around Lake Baikal.

United States Consul Thomas Smith at
Moscow informs the Department of State
that the Trans-Siberian railway authorities
have experienced a great deal Of trouble
with Lake Baikal. which is located in the
northern part Of Asia, and lies in the min
eral region Of that country. The lake,
which Is exceedingly rough the greater part
Of the year. is sixty-f1ve miles wide and of
great depth The banks are very marshy
for long distance from the water line.
The railroad company has in use at present
large ice-breaking steamers of the Amer-
can system, with barges connected for
transportation Of passengers and freight.
The cars are also conveyed on these barges.
This arrangement, which Is merely prelim-
mary, was made. as they were In hurry
to make connections. Meanwhile the Rus
sian engineers have been surveying two
lines around the lake, which will obviate
the necessity of using number Of tunnels,
as was at first feared. By the use of a
line around Lake Baikal there will be no
delay at that point, as is the case in cross
ing the lake when storms are prevalent,
One of these proposed lines has been select
ed and will be constructed in the near fu-
ture. 1t will run by the way Of Olchy and
Toogoontchili. In the distance between Ir-
kutsh to kooltooga there will not be more
than two tunnels constructed, II any,

Electric Vehicles in Berlin.

In report to the State Department on
the competition Of electric vehicles in Ber-
lin Consul Hughes at Coburg says that the
battery taking the first honors weighed
only 121 pounds per kilowatt hour, while
the heaviest weighed 2S6 pounds per kilo-
watt hour. The average weight Of the thir-
teen vehicles participating in the COMPETE
ton was 1855 pounds. 1t is assumed that
each of these machines will run $500 miles
a year, at the calculated cost Of cent per
mile. The smallest consumption of energy
per ton mile at the mean speed amounted
to ninety-one watt hours for a passenger
car, a performance which surpasses all
previous records. However, in nearly all
the cases. the demand did not vary greatly
with the speed, which leads to the conclu-
sion that the electrically propelled car
should be driven at the highest speed con-
sistent with public safety, in order to OBJ
tain the greatest commercial economy of
energy. With regard to the motor best
adapted for the weight to be propelled the
capacity should amount to approximately
one kilowatt per ton Of the rolling weight
