Darn FOOLS" said the brakeman.
TITS this way If a man doesn't
know how to stop his car he makes a
fat wheel On the steam roads some
brakemen fatten wheel every time
they put ON the brakes. When the
wheel suddenly stops revolving and
the momentum OF the train carries II
on, the wheel slides along the track
and fiat wheel Is started. Next stop,
perhaps, makes 1t worse, and so the
thing goes until the wheel is no good.
If a brakeman knows his business he
need never make a fiat wheel unless
he has to stop suddenly to avoid an
accident. If he keeps his wheels
turning slowly they don't flatten. Now
these fellows on the trolleys take nc
care at all, and every other car II

A Brazilian frigate, yacht and a
pilot boat were near, but they only
attempted to pick up those who
jumped and swan. Suddenly up came
an American clipper, and rounded into
the wind barely 200 yards away. In
her first boat was Frederick Jerome,
only an able seaman, but one of the
bravest seamen that ever lived. In a
flash his boat was alongside the burn

the scorch and smother. There he

Animals Unchanged by Time.

The rhinoeeros and the tapir, both
found frequently in the tertiary de-
posits, are still represented by almost
identical forms. One species at least
of rhinoceros survived unehangee
long after the appearance of man.
Their range extended as far north
as Siberia, and their bones have been
found in caverns in England France
ana Germany. on the banks of the
Irawadi, and at the foot of the Hima-
layas.
A comparison of the prehistoric ia
pirs with those living in the same dis

two periods. Several species of the
tapir have been found in Europe, but
they have left no modern representa-.

POSTAL BANKS OF BRITAIN. !

bonds before the Boer war. The low

is an obvious cure. The postal banks

$10000,000 was deposited the nrst

is A sERvlcEARLE INVENTION.
New Discovery Which viii Greatly
Help Builders.

A new building material which
promises much for the future is called
uralite. 1t is the invention of Rus
sian artillery officer and chemist,
named Imschentezky. Uralite Is COM
posed of asbestos fibre, with a proper
proportion of silicate, bicarbonate of
soda and chalk, and is absolutely fire
proof In a soft form sheet of ural-
lite is like an asbestos board; when
hard it resembles finely sawn stone
and has a metallic ring. Besides being
a non-conduetor of heat and electri-
city, it is practically waterproof (and
may be made entirely so by paint), and
it is not affected either by atmos-
pheric influences or by the acids con-
tanned in smoke, which rapidly de-
stroy galvanized iron. 1t can be cut
by the usual carpenters or woodwork
er's tools; 1t can be veneered to form
panelng for walls or partitions; 1t can
be painted grained, polished and glued
together like wood; it does not split
when nail is driven through 1t; it Is
not affected when exposed to moisture
or great changes of temperature, and
it can be given any desired color
either during the process of manufac'
ture or afterward.
