1t Was Introduced by Blalse Pascal.
the Noted Mathematician.
No less parsonage than the famous
mathematician. Blaise Pascal, Is said
to have introduced the vehicle which
we call the omnibus" Unlike most
other men of learning, Pascal was more
or less interested in the affairs Of prac-
deal life. He was the inventor Of the
pushcart that now perambulates our
streets, says the Scientific American
In 1861 he had large wagons built
for regular traffic in the heart Of Paris.
He allied himself in this undertaking
with several influential friends, among
whom was the Duke Of Roannes.
In 1862 Louis XIV. granted letters
patent to Pascal, In which it was said
that these carriages were intended for
the comfort of poor people who had to
60 to courts Of justice or who were
sick and so poor that they could not af
ford to pay the two pistoes exacted by
the chairmen and the drivers of
coaches.
At first the use Of the vehicle was
not generally permitted. A royal de-

lackeys and other liveried servants. as
we'll as artisans and porters.
Pascal, In spite of the fact that he
only lived to be thirty-nine, is said to
have made no inconsiderable sum out
Of his invention.
After the vehicle had been in use
some sixteen years it was abandoned
for various reasons. It was not until
1912 that it was again introduced. this
time In Bordeaux. which city was iol-
lowed in 1921 by Nantes and in 1927
by Paris. The vehicle was Improved
and rapidly became popular. Now it
has been almost displaced by the tram
way.
In modern times the vehicle was
called an omnibus simply for the rea-
son that 1t was intended for the car

Pedierees of Arabian Horses.

The Arabs have no written pedi-
grees. 1t is all an affair of memory
and of notoriety in the tribe. Certain
alleged pedigrees of Arabian horses,
couched in romantic language and rep
resented as carried in a small bag and
hung by a cord around the animals
neck. have been published, but these
are forgeries got up probably by horse
dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Persian.
The breeding of every horse Is mat
ter Of common knowledge, and it
would be impossible for his owner to
fabricate pedigree SO as to deceive the
natives, even If he were SO inclined.
The Bedouins, it seems necessary to
admit, are in general great liars, and
they will lie Ito strangely about the
age, the qualities or the ownership Of
a horse, but they will not lie about his
pedigree, even when they can do so
with impunity. To be truthful on this
subject is almost a matter of religion,
certainly a point of honor in the des-
ert.-Atlantic.
