seldom. Long WHIT For wealth.

Twenty-Five Years ago, writes Leroy
Scott il '.ecln.cal World Magazine. a
yocug man with scheme for car
riace t. lie run by gasoline motor
called upcn large manufacturer Of
ve,.icles and farm implements. The
Young nan had spent years upon his
patent: its success meant fortune to
him. and also triumph over the men
who had laughed 1t him. So he used
his best eloqrence to induce the manu-
facturer to put his automobile on the
market. But the manufacturer shook
his head. you've been wasting your
time on that scheme" he said. "And if
I went into it Id be wasting my money.
No. sir. Even if it 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 in this country
or imported into it are licensed under
the Selden patent, the royalties paid
during the last three years amounting
to $e14,1s3.

THE EARTH'S REAL DESERTS
They Are Made by Rain Rather Than
by the LaC6- of 1t.


Paul Combes shows in the Paris Cos
mos that the earths real deserts are
made by rain rather than the lack of
it, or, rather, by the combination of
abundant rain with a land surface in
capable of holding moisture long
enough to give plant life a chance.
The Sahara of Africa, the Bad Lands
Of our western territories and the Ara
bian and central Asian deserts are by
no means destitute Of life. They have
their fauna and flora, less numerous
and less varied than those of humid re-
gions and peculiarly adapted to their
environment, but they are rarely or
never destitute of some kind of life
for any considerable area.
The real deserts are found where the
rains are heavy and ~ the earth
surface is of such character that the
water at once runs away and the tenn
perature speedily evapOrates what lit
tie moisture the surface may retain.
Such spots are really destitute of life.
The real deserts may be found on a
small scale in most countries. Mr..
Combes cites one in the hills of French
Savoy. the gorge whence issues the
torrent of st. Julian. The rainfall of
that region is heavy at certain seasons,
but the bare rocks and hard clays of
the surface are incapable under a
southern sun of holding water long
enough for anything to grow or else
the plants that start are secured away
by the driving rains. There are many
other such spots among the denuded
hills OF Spain.
The largest well known rain made
desert is, however, the clay hills Of the
Mekran district of Persia. They are
cut and secured by torrential rains,
and they are lifeless, as the arid des-
erts are not. How they reached their
present state is unknown. As long ago
as the time of Alexander the Great
they were described as "a vast grave
yard, without the trace of a living
thing" 1t may be reasonably cOnjec-
tured, however, that the Mekran desert
is to some extent man made as well as
rain made-that man helped it to be-
come a region where rains have be-
come a sterilizer instead Of fertilizer.
This conjecture seems reasonable be.
cause similar conditions are reported
as beginning to appear in certain hill
districts Of western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio. The forest growth which
originally covered them has been cut
Off and burned off so recklessly that,
though rains are abundant, all vegeta-
ton is disappearing from them. The
rains that fall upon them race away to
the adjacent river valleys, carrying
with their torrents the minute plants
and low forms of animal life which
create the soil in which other forms
would grow and leave nothing but the
bare and sterile earth.-Chicago Inter
Ocean.

The Old and the New In China.


The old and new mingle in China.
The newspapers from the east tell Of
a Jail mutiny in Canton in which
thirteen prisoners escaped. The au-
thorities failed to capture them, but
issued orders that all their relatives
should be arrested and imprisoned I'M
til they could give information as to
the hiding place of the escaped prison
ers. But before long they were offered
their freedom on condition that they
paid 5000 to the police, $120 for the
chief and $50 for the rank and file.
The bargain was clinched, the money
paid and the circumstances duly
chronicled as a news item in the ma
tive press. In Fatshan preparations
were under way to celebrate the birth
day of their idol Saen Kai. But an
opposition party arose. They urged
that if the money were to be spent
at all it had better be spent in cleaning
up the drains in the neighbOrhOOd,
since. if there should be anything in
the western theory of cleanliness, the
community would benefit more than by
proDiti%timg Saen Kali who did little
to stay the plague in spite Of the fes-
t.vals in his honor. The opposition
won the day. and the money intended
for Saen Kai went to the drains.

Hurried business Men.

oon,t BInme Is. Say Cautious but
Hurried Business Wen.
Tho phrase dictated. but not re-
road g" is now occasionally seen stamped
or tvpawritten in TIN lower left hand
corner of typewriter letter This is
the latest loophole of escape adopted
by cautious though very busy men to
avoid reading orer the letters they die
fate and. at the same time, to explain
any error made by careless or igho-
rant stenographer.
BY this simple eXpedent business
man is able to affiX his signature to
each of a pile of typewriter letters
trusting to luck that no glaring mis-
takes have been made. Again, with
this printed explanation the business
man may leave before the days mail
is finished. this explanation making
a personal signature unnecessary.
This scheme for relieving oneself
from the results of mistakes caused
either by the misunderstanding OF a
word at the time of debating or the
stenographer's ignorance of business
terms was first adopted by travelling
statesmen obliged to have most of their
correspondence done Mt hotels along
the route and never sure of the ac-
curacy of the stenographer available.
AS in many cases a salesman is
Obliged to leave for another city before
his letters are finished the necessity
for some such explanation is curious.
While a carbon copy of each letter is
usually sent him at his next stopping
place. the original goes on to the head
quarters of his company and sometimes
contains amusing mistakes, the result
Of ignorance of the terms used in his
particular line of business.
For instance, not long ago fire in
surance adtuster obliged to dictate an
important letter just before taking
train was surprised on his next visit
to the home office to find that only
about half of his letter had ever been
received. About midway in the letter
the stenographer had inserted this
note:
Here the gentleman went so fast I
didn't know what he said, but it was
something about cross eyed agree
ment"
After little thought on the part of
the one who dictated the letter he re-
membered that he had referred to
quasi agreement. an expression with
which the hotel stenographer was evil
IDENTIFY unfamiliar.
Another instance was the case or Il
young attorney who dictated Il letter
TO his stenOgrapher asking a brother
lawyer if he could argue Il demurrer on
a certain day. The letter was sent out
Immediately and not reread.
The next day the letter was returned
to the writer asking for an interpre-
tation of what seemed a surprising
request. Investigation showed that
the stenographer had misread her notes
and inquired if the young lawyer could
"agree to be demure" on a certain
day.

of a letter by means of a rubber stamp,
the initials of the particular person

a pen. This method is adopted when
the letter has been dictated by one

other perhaps not entirely familiar
with the subject matter.-New York

Would that by our self sacrifice We
all could teach men that we love them
and would do anything ana everything
to save men. even as ChriSt's sacrifice
has taught us that he loves us. During
the dark days of a Partisan riot
young reporter, Matthew Donzelot by
name, was sent by the Petit Journal to
report the uprising The mob, like
stampeding herd of cattle, broke loose
and swept down the street to where
the young man was. The stones were

after the soldiers appeared. The guns
were raised and fired. The mob melted
away in an instant. -Four wounded
men lay struggling on the ground. one
Of them was DOnZelOt. Instantly the

and he fell back dead. Oh, my friends,

his duty to a newspaper, should not we

Sacrifice yourself for men, and then
