TROLLEY AS cUPlD'S ALLY
With Help OF Electric Lines the Little
God Has Smitten 1000 Hearts
in Winnebago Co., Ill.

Cupid has had a busy time in Winnie
blgo county, H., for the last 68 years.
according to some interesting figures
that the county records show. The
little god has smitten no less than 3d.
900 people in that time, beginning in
1896, when he had but a single pair in
the whole year. In the next year,
however, there were II weddings, and
IA years later there were over 100 a
year. At the half century mark there
we're 31S a year, and in 1900 the we'd
dings ran over half a thousand. The
largest gain of one year over the pre-
ceding year was in 1903, when there
was a gain of Ill weddings over those
of 1902, the total of last year reaching
725.
If Cupid continues as motorman the
figures will Don be astounding.
One explanation for the large num-
Der of weddings in the county is that
q large number of people from Wiscon-
sin go to Rockford to be married. That
town has become one of the greatest
Interurbau centers in Illinois. Lines
now reach Belvidere Beloit and Free
port, and the trolley has been four.d to
be an appreciative adjunct to the mar
riage business when a town shows any
sort of Gretna Green business.

An automobile sled is the vehicle q
Belgian explorer, Mons. Henryk Arc
towski-in view of his speciality, why
not Acknowledgement to use in
making his next dash for the south
pole, says LIE Tour du Monde. He is now
experimenting with motors and pro-
pellers.
Steamship expeditions to the south
sea are stopped by land or walls of per-.
petual ice long before they reach the
pole. From the shore expeditions have
gone inland some distance with dog
sleds, but there is a limit to the dis
lance that can be covered, as food for
the dogs has to be carried, and adds
greatly to the necessary stores.
If a motor sufficiently simple and
strong can be found, which will run in
the coolest weather and will not on
sumo as great a weight of stores per
mile as the dogs do, Monsieur Arctow-
ski believes it will be a great aid to
the explorer.
His present scheme is to use Cana
dian sledges or toboggans, and attach
to each two wheels with spur teeth,
mounted like the side wheels of a riv-
er steamer, and arranged so that they
can be raised or lowered. to grip light
ly or deeply according as the snow is
crusted or soft. The whole affair must
be light enough so that 1t will not sink
too deep in the snow, and strong
enough to pillow its way through a mod
crate depth of light flakes. and large
enough to carry the explorer and neces-
ssxy stares for him aad the motor.
