THE OMNIBUS.
II Was Introduced by B1nisc Pascal,
the Noted Mnthemntician.


No Less n parsonage than the famous
mathematician. Blnisc Pascal, IL said
TO have introduced the vehicle which
we call the omnibus" Unlike most
other men OF learning, Pascal was moro
or less Interested In the affairs Of prnc-
teal life. He was the inventor OF the
pushcart that now pcrambulates our
streets, says the Scientific American.
In 1861 he had large wagons built
for regular traffic I'm the heart OF Paris
lie allied himself I'm this undertaking
with several influential friends, among
whom WINS the Duke Of ROnnncs.
In 1902 Louis XIV. granted letters
patent To Pascal. In which II was said
that these carriages were intended for
the comfort OF poor people who had to
go TO courts of Justice or who were
sick and so poor that they could not af-
ford TO pny the two plstocs exacted by
the chalrmcn and the drivers Of
coaches.
At first the use of the vehicle was
not generally permitted A royal de-
cree forbade It's use by soldiers, pages,
lackcys and other ivcricd servants, aS
well as artisans and portcrs.
Pascal, In spite of the fact that he
only lived to be thirty-ninc, Is said to
have mndc no inConsidcrable sum out
OF his invention,
After the vehicle had been I'm use
some sixteen years IL was abandoned
for various reasons. 1t was not until
1912 that Il was again introduced, this
time In Bordeaux, which city was fol-
lowed In 1921 by Nantes and I'm 1927
by Paris. The vehicle was improved
and rapidly became popular. Now IL
has been almost displaced by the tram
way.
In modern times the vehicle was
called an omnibus simply for the ren-
son that IL was intended for the car
rIage of all, without any restrictions IA
TO lackcys, pages or footmcn.

Animals That Delight to play.

In animals the faculty OF amusement
awakes very early. Our four footed
friends seem to be aware OF this and
make II part of their parental duties
to amuse their young. A ferret will
play with her kittens, II cat with hers,
dog with her puppies. A mare will
play with her foal, though the writer
has never seen COW try to amuse her
calf nor any birds their young. If their
mothers do not amuse them, the young
ones invent games OF their own.-Lon-
don Tit-Blts.

THE battleship Rhode Island, and
her twin sister, the New Jersey,
building side by side in the Fore
River shipyard at Quincy Point,
Boston Harbor, are advancing
rapidly toward the completion OF
their hulls, being now about one
third finished-a considerable per-
centage more than the other vessels
of their class building in different
parts of the country. 1t is expected
that the Rhode Island will be ready
to launch early in the fall.

The welsh language.

The quite erroneous idea that Welsh
Is language Of consonants probably
arises from the number OF VS. II con-
tains, according to Welshman in the
London News. "W'' in Welsh Is gen.
erally-and always between two con-
sonants-a pure vowel, sounded like
100" I'm English. Thus "cwm" IS pro-
nounced "koom." rhyming with "boom." "
What Is really one of the most remark
able features about the Welsh language
IL the number Of vowels which can
come together. In English three VOW
els in succession are not often met with.
In Welsh II is not uncommon 10 find

pcLIurces of Arnhinn Horses.

and Of notoriety In the tribe. Certain
alleged pcdlgrecs OF Arabian horses,
couched I'm romantic language and rep
resented as carried I'm n small bag and
hung by cord around the anlmars
neck, have been published, but these
are forgcrics got up probably by horse
dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Persian.
The breeding OF every horse Is mat
ter OF common knowledge, and IL
would be impossible for his owner to
fabricate pedigree 40 M to deceive the
natives, even II he were so inclined.
The Bedouins, II seems necessary to
admit, are in general great liars, and
they will lie (to n stranger) about the
age, the qualities or the ownership OF
n horse, but they will not lie about his
pedigree, even when they can do 80

subject IL almost matter OF religion,

PLACE FOR GOV. TAFT
Civil Governor of the Philippines
to Succeed Justice Shiras
Some Time Next Month.

Washington, Jan. 5.-If existing
plans carry, some time next month the
president will send to the senate the
nomination of Governor Taft to be an
associate justice of the United States
supreme court to succeed Justice
Shlras, who is expected to retire dur
ing the month. Governor Taft will be
succeeded as civil governor of the
Philippines by General Luke r. Wright,
at present vice governor. and the lat
ter place viii be filled by the appoint
ment of w. w Rockhill the present
director of the bureau Of American
republics. There are already many
aspirants for the place which win be
vacated by Mr.. ROckhill. but so far
the president has made no choice.
1t appears that Governor Taft was
offered a place on the supreme bench
on the retirement OF Justice Gray, but
he felt that affairs in the Philippines
were in such state as TO require his
own personal attendance, and he sac
rificed his chance. The president has
not forgotten his usefulness. and feels
that the work in the archipelago Will
be in shape by February so 1t may
wei be taken over by General Wright
While Mr.. Rockhiil will receive much
higher compensation as vice governor
of the Philippines than he does in the
bureau of American republics. still his
acceptance of the first named place
involved the REIMBURSEMENT of many
ambitious plans he had cherished look
ing TO the extension OF the present bu-
reau into an institution far beyond its
present Importance and scope

marks and said that the city of Seattle

to wait at the entrance and in the

Mr.. Blackiston read the committal
and the casket was borne from the
church to the solemn strains of Cho-

procession was formed and proceeded
