Is Nation of Chaufeurs.

The French nation so closely guards
her supremacy in the motor world that
plans are being made so that every
French boy will be made familiar with
the operation and the principles in
volved in the construction of the auto
mobile, says the Philadelphia Record.
A course of instruction is being arrang-
ed for introduction into the public
schools. There are a number of teehni-
cal schools where the details of auto
mobile instructions are impaired to
those who desire such knowledge.
1t Is said that no city in the world
gives the same encouragement to au-
tomobiling as Paris. 1t has been de-
cided that all the public hospitals shall
be equipped with sel%f-propelled ambu-
lances and a very speedy car has been
ordered to be attached to the municipal
laboratory, where all the bombs found
on the streets of that city shall be ia
ken for investigation and destruction.

PAYING THE POSTAGE.

Postage was always a sore point in
the old days. 1t might be either pre-
paid or collected on delivery, and I'M.
lucky recipients Of long-winded epis-
ties or other useless matter often had
a substantial grievance. The author
Of "The Old Farmer and his Almanac"
gives a few of Mr.. Thomas frequent
hints to his contributors to pay the
postage on what they sent to him.
His first allusion to the matter was
In the Almanack for 1906, and is ap-
pended to a compliment which he pays
to a highly respected Quaker CORE
gpondent:
Friend r. d. is rendered the edi-
tors best thanks, for his several valu.
able communications, at the same time
solicits a continuance of his CORE
%spondence. The postage the editor
will ever be happy in paying, though
In some is a great looser."
One of the ''loosing' cases appears
in 1909:
"a. X. Q. is thanked for his season.
able information. Though we would
remind him that his communications
come so coated up that we are obliged
to pay double postage on them, we
would advise him in future to leave or
the wrapper or pay the postage"
Again in 1910: "E. w. and others
will be kind enough to pay postage on
answers to Riddles in future, or they
will not be noticed"
A little later: &c. S. our Boston
querest, have no objection to his ask
ing questions every day in the, year,
provided he pays the postage"
E. F. in 1912 appears as a sinner
against several principles: his "anec-
dote is of the coarser kind, and not
capable of being polished without in
juring the pith. His Meteorological
observations, if correctly taken, would
be useful. He will do well to remem.
Der the postage in future"
BY 1914 the postage nuisance seems
to have become intolerable. ~. H.
Jr." is informed that I'VE conceive
his Questions to be unimportant, and
not worth the money we paid for
them" and finally there is an emphatic
pronunciamento to the world at large:
mo notice will in future be taken Of
any answers to queries unless post
paid"

~concealing themselves under tufts Of
grass. Every time that l have tried
to seize one of them a slight noise
has been heard like that of steam IN
der pressure escaping from a valve
raised by jerks, while a jet of smoke
has made it's exit with force, in most
cases from the extremity Of the abdo-
men, and sometimes even from the
mouth, and disseminating a strong
odor Of nitrous gas.
"At such times l have experienced
quite a strong feeling of heat in the
hand, and the body of some of the in
sects that 1 succeeded in catching ap-
peared to me to be hot. My fingers
and the parts of my hands that had
been touched by the hot smoke were
stained an indelible brown. 1t would
seem as If this were a very caustic
substance which the insect projects
with violence in an impalpable dust
against the enemies that threaten 1t,
and that 1t holds in serve for impor-
tant occasions.
This process is not absolutely alb
normal, since a number of other ami
mails also have to projections
Of liquids or odors against their enc
mics for their defense. But this de-
notes in our insect both a special
chemical talent and a special resist
nee Of the intestines that may be
qualified as most remarkable.
upon the whole, this little coleopter
is nothing less than a dragon that
projects fire and flames from both Of
its extremities and that differs in prin-
ciple from the famous monster Of an
tiquity only in its dimensions. 1t may
very well have been that our sncps-
tors also knew some gigantic cicin-
dele, the remains Of an a~ntediluvfan
fauna, and that they have not ~prevari-
Gated as much as might seem to be the
cas- in relating to us the misdeeds Of
the marvellous and terrible animal COM
mitted in the days Of yore in guard
ing caverns in which was hidden ev-
cry sort Of treasure worthy Of thu
name"

FURIOUS FOaEST FIRES.
Man and Beast Are Helpless Against
Their Oncoming.


The furyof a forest fire is indescrib-
able, especially in soft-wood or confer
Gus forests. Here the flames sweep
through, making a roaring wall Of
blaze that reaches from the ground,
carpeted with inf1ammable material,
to the topmost branches where resin
GUS sap snaps and crackles flercely,
throwing blazing particles to ignite
other trees at a considerable distance.
In addition a high wind blows, in
many cases generated by the fire itself,
the heated air rising causing IN in
rush Of colder air from adjacent areas
that acts like a draft Of a furnace. Be-
fore this combination Of ground and
crown fire nothing can prevail. Ami
mails flee before 1t or are roasted to
death. During the fires in Washing
on and Oregon in 1902 lakes were
found packed solid with putrefying
and partly roasted bodies Of bear. deer,
panther, and other animals, fearless Of
each other in the frenzy that brought
them together to perish through
drowning, heat, or suffocation. In
these same fires a picnic party Of nine
persons, with team and wagon, was
cut off by flames near Mt. st. Helen,
and all that was found later to prove
the tragedy were the irons of the wag-
on, the of two horses, YES
tiges of the remains of human beings,
the buttons Of the clothing the only
evidence left to show how they fell.
The horses had been cut loose in a
vain mercy that sought to give them
a chance to shift for themselves. Near
the tires Of the wagon were the re-
mains Of the women of the party and
the position Of the men at various
points from the central group of the
tragedy showed that they had tried to
make some sort Of a fight. The task
was as hopeless as making a living
space in the midst Of a blast furnace.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way are
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern railway when
he says: "There is no division of
opinion as to the desirability of stop
ping all secret OIL unjustly discrimina-
tory devices and practices of whatso-
ever character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking of unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is just, reasonable and imperatively re-
quired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex-
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol-
ish such open and honest discrimina-
ton might paralyze the industries of
cities, states and whole sections of our
national territory.
This distinction between Just and
unjust discrimination is clearly recog-
nized in the conclusions of the interna-
tional Railway congress, published yes
terday:
Tariffs should be based on commercial prin
ciples, taking into account the special condi.
tons which bear u on the commercial value
OF the services rendered. With the reservH.
ton tAat rates shall be charged without arhi.
trary dis elimination to all shippers alike un.
der like conditions, I e making of rates should
as far as possible have a ! the elasticity neces.
an y ~ IN nnFmtt tho NJ ~ al. tho $50 ~
and to produce the greatest results to the pub
lie and 10 tie railroads themselves"
The present proposal is, as Mr.
Walker D. Hines, of Louisville, showed
in his remarkable testimony the other
day before the senate committee at
Washington, to crystalline flexible and
justly discriminatory rates into fixed
government rates which cannot be
changed except by the Intervention OF
some government tribunal, and by this
very process to increase "the tempta-
ton to depart from the published rate
and the lawful rate in order to meet
some empowering and urgent CONNER
cial condition'-New York Sun.

A Jealous Elephant.

A large elephant, formerly the CEN
ter Of attraction in a certain Zoo, found
itself supplanted in public favor by
a new arrival-a young camel. This
camel was the latest acquisition, and
very naturally engaged the attention
Of visitors.
The elephant for a long time show
ed signs of dissatisfaction. and at last
his Jealousy reached a point where 1t
must find expression. When the usual
crowd gathered about the camel the
elephant prepared for action. He filled
his trunk with water, and with de-
liberate aim discharged the water all
over the people who stood looking at
the baby camel.
