TIMING SEED o. AuTos.
Camera Invention Which Enables
Police to Keep Tab on
Scorchers.

To ascertain the exact speed at
which motor cars are travelling is often
a question of great Importance to the
general public, who suffer by reckless
motoring. and of equal importance TO
conscientious and careful motorists
who wish to obey whatever the law on
the subject may be. A new time-re-
cording camera has just been patented
in England.
If the police wish to know the speed
at which a motor car is travelling two
of the time-reoording cameras referred
to can be placed at each end OF a
trap" the distance between the points
where the cameras are located baving
been accurately measured. The plan is
for the cameras to take actual photo
graphs of car, including the people
on the car, as II passes the selected
spots. recording the time of taking to
the fraction OF second. This gives
the speed and means Of Identification
of car and occupants.
IL the watch be synchronized the de-
cision arrived at must be accepted by
all parties as accurate. II is proposed
that when a driver is summoned for
exceeding the speed limit he be fur
nished with the photograph Of the car
entering and leaving the trap" and
the time records and be given an OPP
portunity before appearing in court TO
measure the length of the trap and
calculate from the data the time ac-
tually taken in traversing the distance
and from this the rate OF speed.
With this camera IL is possible to
take a photograph OF any rapidly nov
ing object passing a given point, the
shutter speeds giving a range OF ex-
posture from one-twenty-fifth of Sec
ond 20 the one-thousandth Of a second.
At the same time and with the same
movement a photograph is taken Of a
watch, thus giving the exact time. A
special case is provided for the watch
and in an opening above the latter a
card is inserted giving the date. which
can be signed by the officer responsible
for the time test. Underneath the dial
is a numbering apparatus and each
watch case bears a registered number
before It is sold. The case Is so made
that after the official has placed The
watch in the case IL can be sealed mot
locked up. and it is impossible for the
person in charge OF the same to tamper
with the watch without breaking or
destroying the seal. The camera thus
makes a record that can be produced
in court and if carefully stored can he

terward.

woman,s Ancient Privilege.

The wife from time immemorial-and
English law has held It so from the time
Of King Richard has deemed It hcr
right to go through the pockets OF her
sleeping lord and master and to abstract
therefrom the money he had withheld
whether for liquor, tobacco or other per-
sonal expenses. Silence has usually ac-
companied and establishment not infre-
quently followed this separation OF the
head Of the family from his small
change. There has been much more said
than written on this grievance OF the
benedicts. At last it has been passed
upon by court. Judge Slower, Of Kan
sas City, in granting divorce to man
who asked for it, among other grounds,
because his wife had a habit Of "frisk-
ing" his pockets after he fell asleep, said
he would grant 1t for other reasons. Il

with that ancient privilege Of the fair

Bushels of snectacles

About a year ago Rev John w.
Chapman, the ohurch's missionary at
Anvik, Alaska. called attention to the
good use to which spectacles and eye
glasses, whose owners had no further
use for them, could be put In helping
TO improve and prolOng the eyesight
of some of the Indian people along the
Yukon. He remarked in a semi-humOr-
GUS vein that he could use about a
peck Of spectacles.' That his appeal
went home to many is evidenced by a
communication Just received from Mr..
Chapman, announcing that up to June
26 three and a half bushels OF specta-
cles had reached Anyik from 153
friends. II is probable that for the
present at least the population OF An
vik is well supplied with these aids
to better vision, so that no further
gifts of this character need be sent I'M

blind FISH has Just been received there
from the Mammoth cave Of Kentucky,
and Mr. Spencer. director Of the aqua

Among the pleasures and profits OF
intelligent travel are the companion
ships one forms. The well-poised tray-
eler is never afraid to make new friends,
says the Four-Track News. He soon
learns TO read human nature sufficiently
to know whom to trust, and one can
not travel even to a very limited extent,
without meeting many people well
worth knowing The little home circle
is delightful and often helpful, but the
viewpoints and opportunities Of our
fellow-citizens are so nearly identical
that our next-door neighbors are not apt
to furnish as profitable friendships as
persons we meet whose environments
are different and who have, perhaps. had
a wider range Of opportunities and seen
more of the things worth while, which
are the heritage Of the traveller. When
the man who is familiar with the east
meets the man who has learned the
great story of the west, the conversation
is pretty apt to be worth listening to.

The singular spectacle is presented in
Europe of a great. intelligent and
progressive people now practically free
and independent peddling their throne
about among the princes Of the neigh
borhood, begging for some one to come
and rule them. The people of Norway,
says the Kansas City Journal, are not
able for their sturdy industry. whole
some courage and high intellectual
ideals. So far as capacity for self-gov-
eminent is concerned, they are second
to none. This hardy northern race has
always been remarkable for its resist
ance to oppression. Perhaps no coun-
try in all Europe is more promising
ground for the spread of political indie
pendence Yet Norway is hawking her
throne about as a gift TO some alien
prince.
