Raiah,s Unique CONVEYANCE.

While amphibious vehicles are not
in themselves novelty, it is safe to
declare the combination conveyanC=
just built in England for an Indiar
maharajah as absolutely unique. The
body, shaped like boat and painted
in rainbow hues in accordance with
eastern ideas of color, is hung upon
a four-wheeled skeleton carriage.
While intended by its owner as a state
carriage, it may be used on occasions
as state boat, as the body can be
unslung and converted into an electric
launch. The skeleton carriage is
about Is feet long and is provided
with four rubber-tired wheels. There
is a seat for a driver and room for
four in the boat-shaped coach. The
total weight of the outfit is less than
one ton.

A corollary to the efforts at en-
forcing respect for the United States
army and navy uniform is furnished
in a suit begun at Leavenworth, Kan,
against secondhand clothing dealers
charged with purchasing uniforms
and equipment from soldiers. In all
cities near army posts the officers
have more or less trouble with per
sons engaging in such traffic, and
there is a strong suspicion that I'M
scrupulous dealers incite the soldiers
to this form of robbery of the govern
ment. In the Leavenworth cases
fines of $1,000 were imposed on deal
ers found guilty, and the soldiers i'm
plicated are also likely to be pun
ished. The uniform is to be respect
ed when worthily worn, remarks the
New York Post, and those who
offend by stealing it must be dealt
with accordingly, in the government
view, which is correct.

Rich Men Work for Pleasure.

Theodore Gill, the worlds greatest
authority on fishes, works for the
United States government, receiving
one dollar month for his services. He
is rich man on whom many univer-
stiles have conferred titles and de-
grees. DR.. Harrison G. Dyer, another
wealthy ran. who knows more about
mosquito, han any otlsr living per-
son, devote. ouch of his time to gov
eminent, rec1 ing $25 a month. Gift
ford PinchOrt, a ,hillionaire, is head of
the United States forestry service, but
he is comparatively well paid, his sal
airy being s45 per annum. Several
other rich men are on the government
pay roll at nominal figures, working
for the pleasure of doing things" as
President Roosevelt puts it.

ThorouQhly Reliable.

If ever there was a reliable and safe
remedy it is that old and famous por-
GUS plaster-Allcock's 1t has been in
use for sixty years, and is as popular
to-day as ever, and we doubt if there
is a civilized community on the face
of the globe where this wonderful pain
reliever cannot be found. In the selec-
ton of the ingredients and in their
manufacture the greatest care is taken
to keep each plaster up to the highest
standard of excellence, and so pure
and simple are the ingredients that
even a child can use them.
Allcocks are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and are sold by
Druggists all over the world.

Judues on Their Dionitv.

The ceremony of the United States
supreme court judges marching from
their robing room across the corridor
to take their seats on the bench,
which occurs at high noon every week
day while the court is holding session,
is always a matter of interest to the
average visitor at the capitol. Every
day there is a small crowd waiting to
see the stately procession. The other
day Justice Moody, as the youngest
member of the august body, brought
up the rear. A flicker of a smile ap-
peared on his face as he noted the
black-robed figures ahead of him, but
it passed away instantly and he be-

The possibility of life without mind,
while not subject to positive proof, is
a theory that has gained considerable
strength recently through its advocacy
by DR.. L. Laloy, librarian of the
Academy of Sciences, Paris. He be-

organisms, such as insects, are mere
moving machines, having no more in
