 The number of carriages and vehl- cles of every description crowding the streets of Paris auglnents continually, and the danger, not only to pedestrl- ans but to the carriages themselves, has become so great that an engineer, Monsieur Henard, proposes the estab- lishment, at the most dangerous cross ings, of circular island of refuge" in the center, and the regulation of all traffic in such a manner that every ye- hicle trayersing the crossing point, no matter what its ultimate direction may be, shall pass round the central plateau in the same direction. Thus the dan ger of collision and the peril to foot passengers would be reduced to a mini- mum. The cut illustrates the opera ton of this proposed whirlpool of traf- flc.
 The interest of astronomers In the strange red spot, about 5000 miles in length, which has been visible on the surface of the planet Jupiter since 1878, Is intensified by the recent obser- yations Of MT. W. F. Deanlng, and others, on a remarkable change h its rate of motion. In a period of about three months last year 1t was dis placed some 16 degrees of longitude from the position calculated as the ba sis of Its former motion. This Is the greatest change that has ever been ob- served in Its rate of motion. On Ju- piter the visible surface of the planet does not reyolve, like the surface of the earth, everywhere with the same angular velocity. but In general, the parts nearest the equator move with the greatest rapidity. Thus the huge planet resembles a rotating ball of con- stantly changing clouds, and in the midst of these the great red spot seems to float

SPECIAL MEETING OF ALL OF THE GREATER BIRMINGHAM COMMIT TEES CALLED FOR NEXT TUES. DAY-SUCCESS IN SIGHT.

Greater Birmingham has almost been forgotten, but its champion, Representa- tive Jere c. King, injected new life into 1t yesterday by stating that a meet ing of all the Greater Birmingham com mittees would be held at the city hall next Tuesday afternoon for the purpose of planning the campaign, which will be short and to the point.
 The election must be held sometime be- tween November and January s, and the date will be set by Mayor Ward who is expected to return to Birmingham within the next week or two. At least thirty days must intervene between the time of the setting of the date and the election.
 It is proposed to arrange the Greater Birmingham election so that it will not interfere with the prohibition election, and it will probably come three or four weeks after the prohibition election.
 The opposition to Greater Birmingham is now believed to have dwindled to prac- tically nothing. Mayors of three or four of the committees where the opposition was the greatest have stated that now they are greatly in favor of a great big city and have given assurance of their sup port

The board of education is now in sadly disorganized condition, with only three members, and some of them apt to resign Eli P. Smith was the last who turned in his resignation, following in the same week those of Alderman J. M Gregg and Lieutenant Governor Gray.
 The reslgnatlons of Messrs. Smith and Gray were brought about by the provis- ion in the municipal code which prohibits the city doing business in any way with it's officials or employees.
 Their places will be filled by the coun- cil at the next meeting. or as soon there after as convenient. Here Is the resgna- ton of MT. Smith:
 Hon. John l.. Parkeer. Acting Mayor

Every Third Person Poisoned By
 Coffee.

It Is difficult to make people believe that coffee is an absolute poison to at least one person out of every three, but peo- pie are slowly finding 1t out. although thousands of them suffer terribly before they discover the fact
 New York hotel man says: Each time after drinking coffee I became rest less. nervous and excitCl, so that was unable to sit five minutes in one place. was also inclined to vomit and suffered from loss of sleep. which got worse and worse.
 "A lady said that perhaps coffee was the cause of my trouble and suggested that I try Postum Food Coffee. laughed at the thought that coffee hurt me, but she insisted so hard that I finally had some Pos,um made. I have been using 1t in place of coffee ever slpce, for I mo- ticed that all my former nervousness and irritation disappeared. I began to sleep perfectly and the Postum tasted as good or better than the old coffee, so what was the use of sticking to a beverage that was ruining me?
 "One day on an excursion up the coun- try l remarked to a young lady friend on her greatly improved appearance. She explained that some time before she had quit using coffee and taken Postum. She had gained number of pounds and her former palpitation of the heart. humming in the ears. trembling of the hands and legs and other disagreeabe feelings had disappeared. She recommended me to quit coffee and take Postum and was very much surprised to find that I had al- ready made the change.
 She said her brother had also received great benefit from leaving off coffee and taking on Postum Food Coffee" '"There's a Reason" Read "The Road to Wellvills," in pkgs,
