therefore, we were warned that to
take our car out during these days
was dangerous, and watching the

Trolley Line for
Rural Mail Box

Patrons of rural routes living some
distance back from the road will find
trolley for drawing the mail box to
the house and sending it back again a
great convenience. The illustrations
show such line, which was devised
by correspondent of the Rural New
Yorker.
At the house end of the line a stout
post is set in the ground and bicycle,
with saddle and front wheel removed,
is fastened with pins against the post,
as shown Gig. u, to serve as motive
power. For the main wire No. 9 is the
size used, and No. II galvanized for
the belt wire. For a short line on level
ground broom wire would do.
Posts are set every so or GO yards
between the house and the road ends
of the line. Each of these intermedi-
ate posts has a bracket Cd, Fig p of
2x2-inch stuff, and an iron at the top

NEW SPIRIT IN EUROPE.
Nations Trying to Come to an I'm
derstand1ng of Their Proper
Relations.

Reports from across the water indi-
cate that the spirit of conciliation is
prevalent in the various capitals A
year or more ago the British and the
French settled lot of perplexing
questions for themselves when they
agreed to treaty recognizing the
rights of the British in Egypt and the
interests of France in Morocco, and
mutually agreeing to use all their
diplomatic influence to protect those
rights and interests, says Youths s
Companion
This limited alliance between France
and Great Britain, indicating as it did
a friendly feeling between the two
powers, was one of the most important
diplomatic events in recent European
history When Germany sought to re-
view that treaty SO far as it affected
Morocco, and the conference at AL
geciras was held, the British sustained
the French as they had agreed to do,
and the Russian in pursuance of their
general treaty of alliance with France
also voted with the French Thus
Russia really voted to sustain the Brit
sh rights in Egypt, and there existed
| for the time being an alliance be-
| tween Russia, Great Britain and
France.
Now 1t is announced that the British
| and Russians are trying to come to an
understanding over their respective
| spheres Of influence in Persia, the
British to have the southern half and
| the Russians the northern. Germany
II left out Of this matter, as it was
left out of the negotiations concerning
Morocco Indeed, it is suspected that
ono OF the reasons for the contem-
plated understanding lies in the desire
OF the British and the Russians to
check the advance of German interests
| in the neighborhood Of the Persian
gulf.
The readjustment of the relations of
the powers is important. The settle
| ment OF their differences, and by treaty
or conference instead of by war, is,
however. much more important to
note. for 1t is sign of growing civil
ization.

THE ELM LEAF BEETLE MAKING
ITS WAY WEST


Until recently It has been supposed
that there were no elm-leaf beetles
west of the Alleghenys, as this insect
was an importation from Europe. The
probabilities are, however, that it is
in existence In many places west Of
the Alleghenys, but it's manifestations
do not come under the notice Of scien-
