The Milionaire's Bread and Milk

From the New York Evening World.
 John D. Rockefeller at an elaborate dinner taking nothing but soup and bread and milk! The irony of epi- cureansm has nothing to parallel it..
 Here is man who has every edible dainty in the world at command. The fattest snais of Burgundy are his, if he could only eat them, and the rich est truffles also. Perigord pies, pastry, pates, whatever the epicure relishes from China to Peru. from birds nest pudding to frijoles is his for the ex- pression of the wish. He could import a carload of South African peaches in midwinter or duplicate Lucullus' ex- petition for larks' tongues, yet his din- ner is bread and milk.
 The village blacksmith, with his TO- bust appetite for jowl and greens, is better off as regards the pleasures of the palate. It is not unlikely that with that alternative lie would not care for the Standard Oil millions.

Trick Automobiling.
From Leslie's S Weekly.

From Leslie's Weekly.
 Although trick automobilists can be found in France and England, this coun- try claims the lead. The accomplish ment is peculiarly well adapted to Ameri- can genius Another reason for the su- premacy of the Americans Is the greater lightness of the American machines. taken as a class, and their extreme sensltiveness and delcacy of control It IS. or course' nossibIe to do more with light car than with a heavy French racer. Another con- dition leading to the development of trick chauffeurs in America is the encourage ment given them by the manufacturers who favor trials of skill because they serve to exhibit machines and demon- strate to possible purchasers the light ness and facility with which automobiles may be controlled
 There are several tricks which may be classed as favorites among chauffeurs.

Reliance's Final Victory for the Cup

From John R. Spears, in The Illustrated
 Sporting News.
 The home run was spectacular only, and devoid of comparative results The wind backed to the northeast, increasing slowly the while, and when the yachts were half way home, they were shut in by a heavy fog The picture, as the overhanging va DOT shut out first their topsais, and then at last the hulls, was beautiful. It was still more beautiful When Reliance loom- ed out of the fog al the line with her sails looking like a thicker mass of the vapor, the foam flashing white under her bow and the big balloon jib beating the air because she was trifle alee of her course and Barr had to Huff her up to get her on the line. But as a race the run home had only one feature of racing interest Re- liance crossed the home line at 5-3O-O2, and won, but Shamrock got lost in the fog and passing to eastward of the lightship ap- peared first to the spectators at 6-01, well off to the northward and eastward of the line. There she took down her canvas, and let the race go without making record of her own work It Is likely that Designer Fife, on seeing that he had been defeated about as badly on the run on the windward work, could not bring him. self to make the defeat a matter of rec ord.
 To sum up the series it is seen that Re- liance has met the challenger in every point of sailing and in every kind of rac- ing weather, from the lightest airs and smooth water to a half gale of wind (20 knots or better) with heavy head sea, and she has won out at every point and or every leg, of course. Every breath of air and every heave of the sea did but add fO ha~ TAE worst beaten of the Shamrocks, but, if all things be considered. she was the worst beaten of the twelve challengers that have come for the cup.

Success of the Submarine.
From the New York World

From the New York World
 Very interesting to naval men have been the tests at the Newport torpedo station of the ability of submarine boats to approach at will torpedo-boats warned of attack and to discharge against them dummy torpedoes at sure range. In this war game" of small scale but momentous importance the diving craft have been successful in smooth water and in rough water, in spite of the clearest sunshine, the brightest searchlights and the utmost watchfulness. Since the successes of the Adder and the Mckee the torpedo boat men are about ready to admit that they cannot destroy the sub marines.
 The submarine must see in order to strike; here is the supreme danger of it's crew. But it appears in the tests at it can rise to the surface so that it's conning-hatch affords view sufii- cient to launch torpedo without be- ing itself at once perceived. In battle the rising submarine must be quickly destroyed or it will sting it's bigger antagonist to death.
 Has not the submarine boat fairly left the experimental stage? French naval administrators have so decided after the success of similar maneu- vers in Toulon, for they are building more submarines than any other na- tion. If the little diving warships are useful anywhere they ere to the United States. We have eight submarines built or. building. Their combined cost is but S1, ,29O,000 The Massachusetts cost more than three millions, the crui- ser California nearly four millions. The latter sum would build twenty-five craft like the Mckee, which on Friday so effectually showed her ability to approach and wound the costliest bat tlaShiu

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 The whole country is deeply inter- ested in the results of this struggle in New York. For the Low administra- tion is as surely fighting the battle of municipal reform Ia every other city in the country as in Greater New York. And it's victory will tell as positively for good government in St. Paul and in every other American city as its de- feat would encourage the enemies or good municipal government every where in the country.

"Eve:-Burning" Lamp.

The famous lamp of TowneIey
chapel, at Towneley hall. il Eng
land, has recently been eNtin-
gulshed. This was probably the
last of the so-called ever burning
lamps of England. 1t is claimed
that the Towneley lamp had lcen
burning constantly since the davs of
King Alfred-rnore than 1000
years. At the beginning Of the last
century half a dozen were still
alight, while at the disso!ut II Of
Henry VIII. many hundreds aIigh.
IN the monasteries had been burniro
ever since the Norman Conaues.
Doubtless these perpetual lamps
were a remnant of that form of pa
gan worship known as everlasting
fire, which was kept alight bv
guardians, who were punishable
with death if they allowed the fire
to 60 out.
