THE BOY SPOKE TOO SOON
Elated Over Passing Bad Half-Dol-
lar and Spoils Mothers
Scheme.

w. Caryl Ely. of Buffalo, the presi-
dent Of the American Street Railway
association, was talking, during the
convention in Philadelphia, about mo-
tormen's and conductors adventures.
"A conductor came To me with .
smiling face the other day." he said.
He wanted to tell me what had hap
pened on an incoming car.
1T seems that q middle-aged woman
and her little son, a lad of six or seven
years, got on the car, and, as soon as
they were seated, the woman took .
half-dollar out of her pocket and hand
ed 1t TO the youngster to pay the fare
with.
1.-THE boy held the coin In his small,
fat hand, and examined It closely and
solemnly.
THE conductor appeared for the
fares, and the youngster gave him the
half-dollar with owlish solemnity.
1.-THE money was pocketed and 40
cents in change was put in the small
extended hand.
"As soon as he got this change the
boy laughed and shouted gleefully:
(, oh, ma, he's taken the bad half
dollar

EAST AFRICAN MONARCH.
August Sovereign Of Eight Years
Sits on q Throne Of
Scarlet.

The king Of Uganda, in British East
Africa, rejoices or grieves in the some
what picklish and chow-chowy name OF
Daudi Chua. This august sovereign
may his tribe increase!-is now going
on" eight says Everybody's Magazine.
To befit q colored scepter bearer he has
a highly colored court. He sits on q
throne Of scarlet, and probably the court
carpenters have made 1t q world too
long for his chubby little legs. Under
the British protectorate folks have to
be economical in Uganda, and king
must grow up to his throne, and can't
have q custom made one every time he
has growing pains. We can remember
when king of Uganda was every inch
q king, no matter how few his inches.
So sacred, no supra purple was he that
the remains Of his food had to be buried
lest its sacredness strike dead some un-
happy subject. The British have
changed all that. Daudi-we wish we
had photograph of him-Daudi sits on
his scarlet throne, leopard skin under
his bare feet, toy gun in his little
hands. Probably not bit more absurd
and many times more sympathetic" in
the eyes of the heavenly powers than
many wide ruling car or kaiser that
has been, is, or shall be.

THE FIRST sTAcE-coAcH.
Line Started Between New Bruns-
wick and Trenton, II. J.,
in 1744.

As public conveyances or the stage
coach had been in vogue in England
since 1910, the establishment Of a SIM
liar conveyance was demanded in
America many years before the war for
Independence, says the Metropolitan
Magazine. AS early as l744, therefore,
a stage line started to run between
New Brunswick and Trenton. N. j.,
and by 1855 this route had been ex-
tended over from New York to Phila-
delphia- Moreover, as in England, so
In America-the advent OF the stage
coach necessitated marked improve
ments in the highways, while the build
ing Of better roads and turnpikes nat
urally created . greater demand for
more coaches, and, what was more to
the purpose, lighter vehicles. In 1771
there were but 80 conveyances Of ev-
cry description in the city Of Phila-
delphia, but by 1874 their number had
increased to S27--more than twO-thirds
of which were comparatively light We
hicles--a condition which led one OF
the local papers to publish . most dep
recatory article concerning the use Of
conveyances in which II was stated
that even farmers wanted carriages"

Actual Quarters.

The quarter Of a dollar Is merely a
term for complete coin nowadays
but in the early coinage q quarter
meant quarter Of coin, for in those
days the idea of various valuations
had not gained ground. and the newly
minted coins were marked into quar-.
ters by cross that the token might be
divided when 1t was necessary to make
change. This cross. moreover, was
supposed to bring the blessings OF
Heaven upon the owner and to avert
Ill fortune, and for long time subse-
quent to the coinage of fractional cur.
rency the coins we're thus marked A,
present only the English form is thur
marked, although the coins of some OF
the Catholic countries bear crosses in
their designs.

NOT CAREFUL OF SAFES.
There Are Jewellers Who by Slack
Habits Invite the Attention
of Cracksmen.

A recent robbery in New York calls
attention to very careless way in
which many jewellers, both In and out
Of New York, place their safes, says
the jewelers. Circular Weekly. These
dealers practically invite robberies by
making them possible without inter
ruption, in placing their safes in par
tition with the front opening into .
store and the back absolutely hidden
from view in the street This offers an
opportunity to the safe crackers, who
may come in from the back, to operate
upon the rear of the safe without the
slightest chance of being seen by .
Waterman, or by pedestrians, no mat
ter how well the store Is Illuminated.
Jewellers seem to be under the i'm
preston that the door of the safe 10

place in New York, and it should stand

shows that the only sure way for jew
Glers to protect their stocks Is to have
their safes occupy such position that
they can be seen from four sides, plac-
ing 1t out some distance from the
walls, or IL this cannot be done, by
placing the back against solid wall OF

PLAN TO SAVE THE FALLS.
Engineer Has Evolved a Plan for the
Preservation Of Niagara's
Cataract.

With the attention of most thinking
people directed toward Niagara Falls
and its Threatened destruction, Alton
D. Adams. in an article on How to
Save Niagara Falls" In the Technical
World Magazine. offers what may
prove to be the final solution Of the
problem. Mr.. Adams says: with q
Gam across Niagara river. between
Lewiston and Queenston, and q reser-
voir six miles long and reaching to the
cantilever bridge behind 1t, plants taxi
Ing water from the dam would operate
with 1t substantially constant head.
To connect such plants with the dam
only short steel pipes would be neces-
sary ana the cost Of the entire develop
ment per horse power would be very
moderate. The water head Of 100 feet
al this proposed dam is only two-thirds
OF that which Is available most Of the
time at the falls, but on the other hand
the volume Of water passing the darn
is equal to the entire discharge over
10th the American and the Horseshoe
falls.
With the normal discharge Of Mia
CARA river, which is 222,0 cubic feet
Der second, falling 100 feet the gross
horse power developed would be $780,
O00 Making liberal allowances for
losses of head in the penstocks and
tailraces. and assuming only fair eff
ficiency for water wheels and genera
tors, fully 60 per cent OF this $500, 900
gross horse power, or 100000, could
be continuously generated at the pro-
posed dam in the form OF electric cur
rent. This output Is about two ana
one-half times the actual and proposed
capacities of all the hydro-electric
plants now completed or under con-
struction about Niagara Falls, and 10
six or seven times the combined ca
pacity of all the electric generators
now ready to operate at the falls"
