Who Make New
Auto Records

"Ta 8 YITH the speed of rail-
RAay way train" used to be q
V " phrase expressing q very
h!g!! de0roe Of velocity. but
tie railroad locomotives are left away
behind in these days by the big high
powered automobiles. A speed Of
mile minute Is fast for a railroad
train, but 1t Is slow for racing auto
mobile. The motor racers have got the
record down to a mile In Iess than half
q minute.
The record for q mile is now % Is
seconds. This was the achievement Of
F.. II. Marriott, Newton (Mags.)
young man, in the record smashing
races at Ormond, Fla. He drove u
Stanley steamer os fifty horsepower
around the course In that time, beating
the record Of 38 seconds made by q
Ross steamer in races last year. Mar
riott also did a mile in 81 4-5 seconds In
q race for the one mile steam cham
pionship. He had but short time be-
fore this participated In the one mile
international race for the Sir Thomas
r. Dewar trophy and beaten gasoline
cars OF much higher power, making
the mile in this race in SO 1-5 seconds.
This, too, was making n new worlds
record, as the previous record, made
by Mcdonald last year IN Napier,
was G mile in "a 2-5 seconds.
Running Mt the rate ut which Mar
riott drove his racing car q railway
train could make the trip between
New York and Chicago in about eight
hours. Nine hours is now considered
good time in which to run frem New
York TO Buffalo. Marriott when he
made his record for the nile was trav-
cling at the rate Of 127 miles IN hour.
Not even an automobile racer could at
the present stage Of the science Of au-
tomobiling maintain such n speed as
this for n distance Of 127 miles. But
In the races at Ormond five miles was
made in the astonishing time Of 2 min
utes 81 seconds. 1t was the French
racer Hemery who achieved this feat

The "Bennington' was one of the

Aside: though, from the sadness

Since 1900, learned professors of
the universities of Germany, Franco,
Englaad and 1.-THE United States have
been engaged in translating certain
Chinese documents discovered in
ekin at the time Of the Boxers up
rising, five years ago. Some of these
manuscripts were written between
1900 and 5000 years before Christ
vas born.
Some were written during the frst
500 years after his birth end death,
and other parts Of it were prepared
about the time that King Alfred ruled
England, or 1000 A. D. I have re-
ferred to the fact in the Boys
World before, that it is positively
known that Chinese sailors and ax-
p!o=ers visited the Pacific coast Of
this country about the fourth or
fifth century after the birth of Christ.
The manuscripts that are now being
studied not only prove this, but give
additional information Of great value

ner, yet we cannot but admit that
there is often excuse and justification
Tor a fight. What better manner OF
fight than the duel? | speak of duels
among truly brave men. 1t puts both
men on the same footing, gives each
the same advantages. One man is in
suited at dance or other social event
and he slaps the aggressor in the face
with his glove. Nothing exceedingly
violent happens, for further things
are settled. The next day or few
days afterward the men meet on the
field Of battle. Neither of the men
takes advantage of the other until the
time OF the duel comes; on the con-
trary, the men shake hands.
Shaking hands is probably the most
appropriate thing the men can do; for
why not shake hands with the man

to kill you, on the field of honor? II

1t is bad enough that it has been so

kill you, then die without very bad
feelings toward him, il you can do
this. Now, | am not a man who be-
q slight provocation; for duel is
very serious thing and often ends
sadly. Duels have brought about the
deaths of men Of many families, and
have brought retribution to many, par.
ticularly unnecessary duels. brought
on by men whose foolish dreams
transported them to fields OF artificial
honor.
But duels among truly honorable
men are, repeat, to be justified. Ane
want to add that do not think laws
can prevent duels any more than laws
can prevent any other fights. 1t seems
as though every man likes duels, any
how. Read novel, and much activity
overtakes you when you come across

strain your eyes and ears, catching

can hardly be rivaled in Wiltshire for
variety of scenery, magnificent cedars,
frs, oaks and beecnes. broad pros
poets and picturesque terraces. The
spirit of virtuoso collecting, to which
Beckford sacrificed his immense West
Indian fortune. still dominates the
park, for Fonthill house is renowned
for the Morrison collections of armor,
enamels, porcelains, marbles. paint

own treasures are in his fathers re-
constructed mansion, and so rich, va
ried and interesting are the collec-
tons that Hazlitt's description of the
original Fonthill abbey seems cold
and prejudiced: "A desert of magnifi-
cence, glittering waste of laborious
idleness, a cathedral turned into a
toy shop, an immense museum of all
that is curious and costly and at the
same time most worthless, in the pro-
duction of art and nature"
