City Engineer Rinker, Assistant
City Engineer Dutton and Aid. Holmes,
chairman of the council paving COM
mittee, spent an hour and half
Tuesday preparing the specifica-
lions under which they will
ask for bids for the resurfacing of the
down town streets with asphalt. Ac-
cording to the estimate of Mr.. Dutton
there are 94,251 square yards of old
pavement to be replaced. OF this num-
Der 40,611 square yards were laid by
the Barber Asphalt company under a
10-year guarantee, which does not ex-
pire until the first of next year. Of the
remainder all but the Nicollet avenue
pavement was laid by the Ayres COM
pany. The specifications call for not
onlv the actual resurfacing of the
streets with sheet asphalt, but also
the removal and disposal of the old
asphalt surface, the resetting of the
curbs, the manhole frames and COW
ers and the repair of the present con-
crete foundation.
According to the factory inspection
report for Minneapolis, made public by

Man Rsspo n.isIs For III. Corset.

Curiously enough women are not
responsible for the existence of the
corset at all, for the first corset
mentioned in history was worn by a
man, the Greek poet Cinesias, and
Aristophanes ridicules him for il
in his comedies, Cinesias, who was
vain to a degree, endcavored to add
to the symmetry of his tall, slim fig
ure by wearing corset of little
planks of wood, The Emperor An
tonius Plus adopted it later, and
then gradually Roman women af-
fected it, although it then only en-.
ciTeled the waist, leaving the bust
free. Gradually il extended down

modern proportions, Catherine de-

roo MUCH OF A IoKE.

What marriage would endure aft.
er a practical Joke, especially upon
the husband? A st. Louis man, yic-
tim of merry jest, is suing his wife
for divorce. The pair went to a
masked ball. The husband was
somewhat jealous of Il German ac-
tor. The wife disappeared in the
throng, and after long search the
husband grew suspicious of pair
in black dominoes who appeared
much interested in each other. The
other women at the ball insinuated
that the pair were the wife and the
actor, The husband gave the fe-
male black domino severe lecture,
when, 10, his wife appeared wearing
no mask except an expression of in
nocence! Everybody laughed, as
the whole farce-comedy had been
arranged in advance. The husbands
sense of humor would not stand the
strain. He seeks relief from the
practical joker.

CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM.
In Their Origin Both Religions Are
Asiatic and Semitic.

In Their Origin Both Religions Are
Asiatic and Semitic.
In their origin Christianity and
Islam are both Asiatic, both Semit-
ic, and Jerusalem is but few hun
dred miles from Mecca. In regard
to the number of their adherents
both have steadily increased from
the beginning TO the present day.
But Mohammedanism has been
practically confined to Asia and Al
RIGA, while Christianity mas been
the religion of Europe and the new
world, and politically it rules now
over all the world, except China and
Turkey.
Mohammedanism has been identi-
fed with stationary civilization
and Christianity with a progressive
one. There was a time--from the
eighth century to the thirteenth
when science and philosophy -four
ished at Bagdad and Cordova under
Moslem rule, while darkness rcigned
in Europe. But Renan has shown
that this brilliant period was neither
Arabic nor Mohammedan in its spir-
it or origin, and, although his state
ments may admit Of some moditica-
ton, it is certain that, however bril-
liant while it lasted, this period has
left no trace in the Mosem faith
unless it be in the philosophical
basis of Mohammedan law, while
Christianity has led the way in the
progress of modern civilization.
Both of these are positive reli-
gions Each claims to rest upon
divine revelation which is in its
nature final and Interchangeable. Yet
the one is stationary and the other
progressive The one is based upon
what it believes to be divine COM
mands and the other upon divine
principles-just the difference that
there is between the law of Sinai
and the law of love, the Ten Com
mandments and the two. The ten
are specific and unchangeable; the
two admit of ever new and progress

A Remarkable Watch.

There is in the possession Of the
czar a very remarkable watch. 1t
was made by a Polish mechanic
named Jules Curzon. The late czar
had heard some wonderful tales
about the inventive ability of this
man, and, wishing personally to test
his skill, he sent him a parcel con
tanning a few copper nails. some
wood clippings, piece of broken
glass, an old cracked china cup.
some wire and a few cribbage board
pegs. Accompanying this was a
command to make them into time
piece. Within remarkably short
time the ear received them back in
the shape of a watch. The case was
made of china and the works of the
other odds and ends. So pleased
and astonished was the czar that
he sent for the man, conferred sew
eral distinctions ON him and granted
him pension.

work 1000 years ago has been taken
from a copper mine III Chile recent
N. His whole body had been mum
milled by the action OF copper oxide,
which had given it greenish tinge.
The mummy is in a fine state Of
preservation. Coarse sacking, eyi-
IDENTIFY the clothing of the ancient
Inca workman, was found with the
body, as were also two mallets, one
fashioned out of granite and the
other out of ironstone. These inn
plements were tied with thongs into
bent sticks made as double handles.
Both the hide and the sticks were as
fresh looking when found as if they
had been in use only the day before.

A Master of Slang.

Professor Hjalmar Hjorth Boye-
sen is said to have had a remarkable
knowledge of slang. Although he
never wrote in dialect, it was not
from want OF familiarity with it.
He was we'll up in the hobo talk of
trampdom, he knew something OF
the gypsy patter, and from the
pigeon English Of Chinatown to the
thieves slang of the dock rats there
was not slang spoken in New York
OF which he had not a basic knowl-
edge. When he was professor in
Cornell university, two juniors out
driving one day overlook him walk
ing along a country road, near Ith-
aea, in company with a most tat
tered and disreputable tramp. As
the collegians drove slowly by they
overheard part of the conversation.
To their great surprise, they discov-
cred that the professor and the
tramp were mdulging in hot and
heavy slanging match, and, from
what they could hear, the tramp was
coming out second best.

Professor Hans Molisch of Prague,
according to the London Mail, has
been able to read a newspaper by
the microbic glow emanating from
sausage. All meat-beef as often
as in so cases out of 100 and veal in
so out of lOO--contains the microbe
which projects a greenish white
light. With sausages it is not so
frequent, but is, when present, much
stronger When the fat on the lu-
minous sausage was scraped away it
Immediately ceased to give forth
light, but as soon as the surface
had again been covered by the fat
oozing from the interior the light
reappeared. Professor Molisch as
serts that the presence of these mi
crobes in meat is no sign of decay.
but rather the contrary, as in no
case have they been found in meat
unfit for human consumption.

YANDERBLLT'S NEW AUTO.
1t is Planned to Make $50 Miles an
Hour.

Mr.. Alfred G. Vanderbilt is having
constructed secretly an automobile
which he hopes will be the fastest ma
chine in the world. He is an automo-
bile enthusiast and is determined with
the aid of the wealth at his command to
break the present record. The ma
chine which he is having built is estl-
mated to be capable of developing 152
miles an hour with $50 horsepower.
Such speed is the equivalent of 218 feet
for every clock tick; it means mile
in % 2-5 seconds. The present mile
record is 80 AS seconds made by II. L..
Bowden. at Ormond Beach, Fla, last
February.
Should Mr.. Vanderbilt be able to at
tain such extraordinary speed with this
automobile it will mean that it will go
faster than anything in the world
heretofore The best time ever made
on railroad was mile in 80 seconds;
this was on the Plant System on run
from Fleming to Jacksonville. Florida,
when five miles were covered at the
rate of 120 miles per hour. Not only
will it go faster than the speed ma
chimes of to-day but the new automo-
bile flyer promises to carry its driver
faster than man has ever travelled be-
fore in the world. In fact it is stated
that even few birds could f1y at such
mace

Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinners
have always been a feature of her
social program during the winter. The
only plea against them is that diners
seriously object to being defrauded,
even if ever so skilfully, into believing
they are eating meat, patties and cro-
quettes, when, in fact, they are eating
lust vegetables"
This particular dinner in honor of
delegates to the food congress was
voted a distinct success. Those who
were included in Mrs, Henderson's in
vitations declared that had they not
known the exact character of
the dinner to which they sat down they
would have been convinced that vari-
Gus dishes were the result Of the study
and ingenuity of Mrs. Henderson S
famous chef who had utilized meat in
a strange but most alluring manner.
Mrs. Henderson was formerly Miss
Mary N. Foote. of New York, and is
one of the most democratic and popu-
ar hostesses in Washington.
