seraen.. Long Wal, For .vea,,n.

Twenty-Five years ago, writes Leroy
Scott In Technical World Magazine, a
young man with q scheme for car
riage TO be run by gasoline motor
called upon a large manufacturer of
vehicles and farm implements. The
young man had spent years upon his
patent: Its success meant fortune to
him. and also triumph over the men
who had laughed at him.. So he used
his best eloquence TO induce the manu-
facturer TO put his automobile on the
market. But the manufactures shook
his head. You've been wasting your
time on that scheme" he said. "And If
went into 1t I'd be wasting my money.
No. sir. Even IL II worked, nobody'd
ever care to ride in your explosion
buggy"
The young man was George B. Sell
den. and what this manufacturer said
was also said by dozens OF others.
Today there are in use In the United
States about 10000 explosion bug
gies.' and about 20 per cent OF all gaso-
line automobiles made Ia this country
or imported into 1t are licensed under
the. Selden patent, the royalties paid
during the last three years amounting
to $s14,1s3.

Rural Simplicity Successfully Tried

Toned refuge into which the unfor-

generations were driven, both as re-

than the children's village at Dobbs
Ferry, on the Hudson, the new home
of the New York Juvenile asylum.
In the past destitute children and
young criminals were generally herd
ed indiscrlminately in barracks. No
one ever thought of calling them
homes" and no one ever regarded
them as places where, except by
chance, the little inmates were actual

was no better than a prison, with all
the hopeless characteristics OF such an
Institution.
But times have changed for the bet

with young offenders; the reformatory.

boy rescued from the streets or taken
from neglectful or abusive parents is
made to feel that the asylum is the
bappiest place In the world. Kindness
meets him on every hand, industry and
honesty are inculcated by lessons In
the classroom and by work In the
shops and on the farm, and every infiu-

Idea that he is gradually making a man
OF himself. Experience had proved this
scheme a success, for OF the 6,OOO chill

asylum after period OF training in Its
care so per cent. it is estimated, have
developed into self respecting and law
abiding citizens. In a simple, natural
and interesting manner the boys are
taught to forget their former lives OF
crime or misery and to strive for better
things.
Atpresent the rather limited capacity
OF the Institution is taxed to the ut
most Before long, however, the direct
ors hope to be able to erect at least ono
more cottage, which would be the
means OF taking. some twenty moro
boys out OF the schools OF crime that
exist In New York city. and, besides, to
add church to the buildings that com
pose this ideal children's village. g..

AT THE END OF THE ROAD.

Far in the height of the hills,
Toward the setting sun,
Nestle the homes our hearts shall reacl
When the long days work is done.
In the heights of the hills of dream,
They wait till the hills are won.
Sometimes, when Love makes clear
Life's inner vision fine,
Or music breathes its word
Of mystery half divine,
Suddenly, out of the dusk,
We see their windows shine.
There, when the setting sun
The spirit with wonder fills,
When the good days work is ended,
And the voice of welcome thrills,
We shall come to their shelter safe,
Far in the height of the hills.
