Novel Motor Wauon.

From the I pndon Chronicle
 Experiments are being carried out by the army service corps at Aldershot of the various types of self-propelled wagons suitable for army transport Among these is one which embodies quite new principle in traction. The car, which is of German build, really runs on rails, like a railway engine, the lines being laid as it goes along. The car is mounted on four small double-fanged wheels, which rest on the inside of large circular rail, the outside surface of which is flat like large steel tire. These rails are not attached to the car, but are kept in position by two smaller Hanged wheels, across it's diameter. The four circular rails at the sides of the motor wagon give it the appearance of having set of large wheels without spokes or axles. All four wheels are driven by the engines; as they revolve the rails do likewise, thus always presenting a smooth and even surface to travel over. A speed of eight miles an hour can be attained, drawing heavy loads. The engines, which are of twenty-eight horsepower, burn heavy petroleum, but are started with benzine.

RESENTED THE REPUTATION.
London Girl Didn't Know Canada and
 Considered Question Insulting.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Sir William Mulock, postmaster gen. eral of Canada, was recently walking along the Strand in company with a Londoner, who was dilating upon the fondness of the mother country for her colonies, especially Canada. Sir William laughed.
 Let us ask the first three persons we meet" he suggested, eff they know anything about Canada"
 The first man accosted knew that Canada was "a colony across the At lantic," but thought 1t was not quite so large as the British islands. As to its population, he knew absolutely nothing. The second, laborer, had never heard of Canada. The third individual approached was a flower girl, who appeared as though she might have passed through board school. To her the Canadian minister addressed himself thus:
 My good girl, are you at all famil- far with Canada?'
 Familiar with who? she snapped. "You go on about your business or I'll smack your nasty face"
 Sir Williams companion admitted that the case against him had been fairly well established.

COMMISSIONERS
 HAVE LEARNED MUCH Board Will Meet Again at
 Scranton November IA MEMBERS RETURN HOME
Between Now and November IA Re- corder Wright Will Have a Busy Time Preparing for the Real
 Work Of Considering Claims.

Philadelphia, Pa. November 6.-Chair- man Gray, Recorder Wright, Brigadier General Wilson and MT. Parker, four of the seven members of the anthracite strike commission. and Assistant Record CT Mosley, arrived here late this after noon from the coal region, where they have just ended a weeks tour of the coal belt.
 From here Judge Gray went to his home in Wilmington, Del, and Commis- sioner Parker departed for New York, while Recorder Wright General Wilson and the other members of the party left for Washington on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Commissioner Clark left the party at Reading, Pa, and started for Chicago. Bishop Spalding and Com missioner Watkins returned to Scranton, where they will remain for some time. Scranton is MT. Watkins home. The bishop will be the guest of Bishop Poban while in that city.
 The commissioners finished their work in good physical condition and separated in the best of spirits. They have gained much information in the regions visited, ana QurlnB the luIerlul they WAA looh over the statistics. which some of them have in their possession.
 The commissioners will meet again at Scranton on November 14, when the hear ing of the miners side of the case will be begun. After they have concluded their trip the operators will make their de- fense, after which the mine workers will probably be again heard in rebuttaL From Scranton 1t is likely the commits sion will go to Pottsville, and sit there for a few days, and then go to Philadel- phia and New York. The commissioners have no idea when they will be able to make their decision.
 Between now and the 14th of November Recorder Wright will be kept busy pre- pairing for the real work of the commis- sion. He has a large amount of corre- spondence and other work to dispose of, which will take up nearly ali his time until Friday of next week. He will prob ably receive the answers of the coal com panies to the statement of the miners case which President Mitchell of the miners union has filed with the commls- sion.

To Harness Waters.

Boston, Mass, November 6.-En- gineers are being sent from this city to Tacoma and Seattle to begin work on a project which has for its chief aim the harnessing of the waters of the Payallup glacier on Mount Tacoma, Washington, for commercial purposes. It is asserted that If successful this will be the first instance where glacial waters have been used to provide power. The plan is to construct from the glacier a Hume fourteen miles long, through which head of water will flow sufficient to generate 50,000 horsepower The water in running through the Hume will drop 500 feet.

College Men Meet.

Oxford, Miss, November 6.-The seventh annual meeting of the Asso- citation of Colleges and Preparatory Schools began at the University of Mississippi today. The attendance Is large, and many interesting papers will be read. The annual address of the president of the association, President Edward Mims of Trinity college, North Carolina, was read and was listened to with interest. The address through out showed an earnest purpose to overcome the obstacles now being met, and predicted the revolution and re- organization of southern school work along broader lines on twentieth century scope. Many interesting papers were read. At the night session gen. eral educational questions were dis cussed.

chews $2ooo Worth of Gum a Day.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 Cleveland claims to be the headquarters of gum chewing and chewing gum. Il is asserted that more gum is manufac- tured and consumed in that city than in any other, difference in population not being considered, and the two greatest manufacturers of chewing gum are num- bered among it's merchant princes They find it difficult to spend their incomes. But Chicago can claim the second place, and the best judges estimate that our people use about ton of gum a day that is, POGO boxes containing 100000 pieces and costing 5000. That, however, is a very small expenditure for the amount of pleasure and good that is derived from the habit; for, while gum chewing may not be refined or elegant, it is considered very healthful for the same reason that COW chews her cud, as I believe the elephant and hippopotamus do also. It aids digestion, prevents dyspepsia, cures insomnia concentrates the mind and pro- notes meditation.

From the Portland (Ore.) Evening Tele-
 gram.
 At a musicale where the Rev. Thomas P. Mclaughlin, known as the "singing priest of Chinatown" was guest, 2 young woman, with a robust soprano voice, did most of the entertaining. She was very proud of her accomplishments and her musical education. She sang songs in German, Italian, French and English. When she appeared to have exhausted her repertoire and the com- pany present were wishing for a change in the programme, Father McLoughllIl paid her some compliments and added.
 ''Why, Miss Jones, l think you could sing ad infinitum."
 q really don't know it." responded the obliging young woman, "but if the music is here, I'll try it."

WASHINGTON, Oct. i4.--President
Gompers OF the American Federation
Of Labor tonight stated to the AS

sitIon Of the coal operators. Mr..
Cont ers said in part:
"In my opinion the proposition made
by the operators. so far as their des-
ignation Of who should be invited to
80 on the commission OF arbitration is
concerned. is an Insult to the president
of the United States.
In the classes OF persons from whom
the mlneowners prescribe commission
shall BE- selected there is not single
representative OF the man who digs
coal, the man who works In the mines.
y hope that the president will de-
cline to act upon the proposition un-

| WILREst3ARRE, Oct. H.-From a
| thorough canvass OF the situation to-
night, there Is every indication that
the arbitration plan proposed by the
presidents OF the cou companies for

There Is division Of opinion among
the strikers, but the majority feel that
the oftcr 10 have the president OF the

by the operators is not fair, and that
Il unduly limits the board.
