Beooars on Wheels.

In the Transvaal may now be
seen many beggars who disdain to
walk and travel over the country on
excellent bicycles.
A Belgian writing from the
Transvaal to a friend in Brussels
says:
"a certain proof that we are civ
ilized here is the fact that our beg
gars ride on bicycles. | often see
them alight from their wheels, which
are of high grade, and ask for
aims in the coolest possible manner.
The other day strong, healthy,
good looking young woman about
twenty years of age got off her BIZ
cycle as | was passing by and asked
me for some money, telling me that
her parents were very poor and had
fourteen children, whom they found
it very difficult to support"

Asked how he could be so conf

clear and the sun shining so bright
ly, he called my attention to the
flies. "You see them clinging to the
beef?" he explained. "Well, in dry
weather the electric fans serve to
keep the flies away from fresh meat,
but the instant the atmosphere be-
comes affected by an approaching
shower these insects begin to stick
to the meat SO tightly that it is al
most absolutely impossible to drive
them off. Our fans are made to re-
volve at full speed, and in addition
we resort to fly brushes. But even
with all these precautions some of

that it will rain, and it never fails

A "Slidins" Boat.

Some experiments made on the
Seine recently with remarkable
automobile boat of a new type yield
ed surprising results. The boat is
described as Slider" from the
fact that it really glides upon the
surface of the water, leaving no
wash whatever, and not through
the water. With a motor of four
teen horsepower the extraordinary
rate of speed of eighteen miles an
hour was reached on measured
kilometer. The boat is 10 feet
inches long by feet'9 inches broad
and is described as a launch .
though her shape is quite unusual
for that class of boat. Along the
keel are five inclined planes, the
pressure upon which when the mo-
tor begins to act lifts the bottom of
the boat to the surface. Count C.
de Lambert is the inventor. The
motor is Dion.

The English tailors have the credit
for being the first to offer organized
resistance to industrial depression,
and hence were the pioneers of mod
ern trade unionism. AS early as
1921, in the days Of the handicraft,
there was union Of tailors in Lon
don numbering $4,000. and they went
on strike for better conditions of en-
ployment, Notwithstanding the acts
Of parliament that outlawed such
combinations, made strikes a crimin.
al act and regulated wages by law.
