Hard on the Baby.

The Philadelphia Times is responsible
for the following:
A Canadian firm recently placed with
the Montreal and Toronto newspapers
an advertisement of a new nursing bot

rectons for use, the "ad." ended in this
manner:
when the baby is done drinking, it
must be unscrewed and laid in a cool

REMARKABLE CYCLE PATH.

The only real, exclusive cycleway in the world

lis that which has just been erected between the
two towns of Pasadena and Los Angeles. in South
ern California, for of wheemen passing be-
tween these two points.
You know Los Angeles. the capital of Southern
California is veritable cyclists city. Why there
are probably twenty thousand wheelmen in that
city alone,
1.-THE track is not unlike the elevated railway
structure in New-York. except that it is built or
wood. However, it is very strong: strong enough
to bear the equipment and service of cleo
trio road. In height it ranges from three to fifty
feet, but 1t cleverly put together that the
ma ximum grade is only per cent and that only
for a distance of about two thousand feet. For
the rest of the distance the grade is not greater
than IA per cent
took 900 feet of this timber to complete it, be
sides twenty miles of heavy wire netting. The
track is wide enough to hold four cyclists abreast
or two motor cycles, and on Saturdays and sun
days It presents interesting spectacle, being
fairly alive with wheelmen.
Attractive stopping places have been constructed
at either end of the cyceway. and the path has
been lighted with incandescent lights placed at
regular intervals. The whole structure has been
painted green, and offers Disagreement to the

There was a series of gasps as the elevator
shot skyward. and at the twentieth floor a
man and woman stepped out. The man had a
law office in the front OF the building, and when
the woman sank into leather cushioned seat
by the window she said:
My how thankful l am that 1 am here safe

wife am almost frightened to. death by some
thing or other in this city. But that elevator!
oh. I'll walk down. I Will never trust myself
in that horrid thing again. don't see how you
can have an office at such a dangerous height.
What would you do If the building should fan?
The lawyer did not answer the last question:
but said quietly:
II thought that doubtless in your recent traV-
els abroad you would have encountered dangers
In comparison with which the elevators and ex-
plosions and automobiles of New-1ork would
seem like paythings."
