MOTOR CARS OF HIGH SPEED.
Spectators Able to See 1t Only Ninety
Seconds as It Whirs BY.

The world has not realized yet the
full significance of the historic Morien-
felde-Zossen high speed electric ex.
periments conducted during 901 and
1903. Speeds of 1876 miles an hour
mean something in the way of velocity
and momentum.
The track upon which the expert
merits were conducted is straight, yet
on it the car, when running at full
speed, was only in sight for a minute
and half. That is to say, from the
moment the approaching car first be.
came visible on the horizon. to the
moment it disappeared in the oppo-
site direction, less than ninety seconds
elapsed. Spectators standing by the
side of the track were able to see that
men were in the car, but it was impos.
sible for the eye to get sufficient i'm
preston to allow any one to be recog-
niZed.
Despite the use of powerful brakes
the car travelled over a mile, after
their application, before coming to a
stardstill, SO that alertness of the en-
gineer in discovering obstacles on the
track would count for little. 1t isn't
probable he could discern such mile
distant, and any application of brakes
within that distance would be inef
fective.

Depew Leaves Equitable.

New York. = The resignation of
United States Senator Chauncey NJ
Depew as a director of the Equitable
Life Assurance Society was one of
the most interesting developments
"Wednesday in the situation growing
out OF the life insurance investigation.
The senator's resignation was ten
dered to President Morton of the Equit-
able society in brief note In which
no reason for 1t was stated.
The notice was posted that Presi-
dent Mccall will resign from the New
York Life before April next and that
If he does not tender his resignation
at meeting of the trustees next
"Wednesday, he will refrain only at the
request of the trustees, who, the report
says, do not wish to elect temporary
president 1t is also reported that
Vice President Perkins will retire
soon.
The report also said the presidency
of the New York Life has been offered
to John Claflin, trustee of that com
pany and president of the H. B. Claf-
lin Company, and Mr.. Clafitn has re.
fused to accept the office.

Military disturbances are occurring
in the government of Lomzha. Al
Zembrof the army reserve men have
mutinied, demanding to be returned

they will not shoot their comrades if

evidence of the connivance and even
the participation of the military and
the police in anti-Jewish excesses The
members of the unions are greatly in
censed at this, and speeches have been
proletariat to erect Darricades.
Reports have reached several of the
embassies of military outbreaks in the
Baltic provinces, particularly at Reval,
where the reservists are said to be in
open mutiny. Confirmation of these re-
ports cannot be obtained. Prince Eu-
gene Troubetskoy NJ. Guchkoff,
Dmitri Shipoff and other leaders of the
recent zemstvo congress held at Mos
COW, have arrived here.
No additional details of the con-
flagration said to have started at Mos
COW have been received. Rumors of
plots to overthrow Count White are
prevalent.
This morning newsboys were openly
hawking fysheets in the streets CON
tanning an account of an alleged re-
volt at Tsarskoe-Selo and crying out:
The Emperors palace guard has
mutinied."
The air is also filed with stories of
the alleged revolution at the palace
Friday. in which Grand Duke Boris is
said to have attempted the life of the
Emperor. These stories likewise are
untrue, but they prove that revolu
tion in the palace is considered posi-
BILE at any time.
Count Witte continues to refuse to
deal with the telegraphers, declaring
that for the government to yield would
be equivalent to it's abdication at their
order.

CHAPTER xVl-Continued.
The wolves were closing in upon
him.
They were on all sides, famished,
bowling pack of devils, their white
fangs and fiery eyes showing with hor-
rible distinctness as they sprang at
him.
The rifle, swung with all his
strength from left to right, and from
right to left, cleared a path for him
and no sooner did one of the brutes
fall than score of it's fellows literally
tore it in pieces.
Alexis was becoming exhausted.
1t was too much for him in his weak
ened state.
One of the wolves, one larger than
the rest, made bound for his
throat, but before it reached him sank
in death agony with a bullet in its
brain.
AT the same moment, by the over
turned sleigh, Alexis caught sight of
the object of his heroic quest.
1t was woman.
With white face she stood there,
revolver in hand, her back protected
by the sleigh. Shot after shot rang
out, and as each time, with unerring
arm, the bullet lodged in the body of
a wolf, she gained moments respite
from the cowardly brutes.
But the end was bound to come.
The last shot but one had been
fired.
AS if by some devilish instinct the
wolves seemed to know that their vic
tim was now defenseless, and they pre-
pared for rush in all the strength
OF their numbers.
With a howl that could have been
heard league another pack of the
brutes had come down from the hills
and joined the others.
Then it was that the helpless wom-
an uttered the wild shrek of agony
that had reached the ears of her res
cuer-had reached even to the courier
in the etape.
Alexis sprang forward. He found
that the arm was a magazine rifle,
and with a prayer of thankfulness he
opened fire. Shot after shot, perfect
fusilade followed, and half a dozen of
the brutes were lying bleeding in the
snow
Another moment and he had
reached the woman. His face was
covered with blood, his arms were
torn, but he clasped her by strong
effort and began the retreat to place
of safety.
Repulsed by the shots, the wolves
had given way for a time, and then
had made simultaneous rush to
feast on the carcasses of those slain
by Alexis.
But the feast did not last long.
Maddened more than ever by the
taste of blood, they sprang after AL
exis and his now unconscious bur-
den.
He has saved HIM" shouted the
courier at the moment, as he caught
sight of Alexis, and then as he looked
again he exclaimed: My God, it is
woman! Men, men. to the rescue,"
The soldiers waited no longer. The
fact that woman was in danger
seemed to awaken all that was manly
in their natures and they rushed to
the rescue.
Another moment and it would have
been too late.
A volley met the first of the fero-
cious. maddened brutes. The pack
halted for a moment, and gave long
howl of rage. Another volley checked
