THE HORSE WON.

Beat the First Locomotive on the B.
and o. Road.
The first locomotive on the Baltimo ore
and Ohio had sails attached. SO did
the cars. These sails were hoisted
when the wind was in the right direc-
ton so as to help the locomotive
The rivalry between the railroads
using locomotives and those using
horses was very bitter. In August,
1880. an actual trial of speed was held
between a horse and one of the pioneer
locomotives, which did not result in
favor of the locomotive The race was
on the Baltimore and Ohio, the locomo-
tive being one built by Peter Cooper,
who also acted as engineer.
The horse, a gallant gray, was in the
habit of pulling car on track par
allel to that used by the locomotive
at first the gray had the better of the
race, but when he was a quarter of q
mile ahead Mr.. Cooper succeeded in
getting up enough steam to pass the
horse amid terrific applause.
At that moment q band slipped from
a pulley. and, though Mr.. Cooper LAGER
ated his hands trying to replace 1T, the
engine stopped and the horse passed it
and came in the winner."-Van Nor

A collection Of coin notices gathered

Italian periodical Scariatti is of the
opinion that such Inscriptions. though
not intended to be cynical, too often
admit of such an Interpretation through
the irresistible habit of the public OF
ignoring the intention Of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin it
self
Thus when Charles H., king of the
two Sicilies, had engraved ON his sill
yer ducat the Latin words linus non
Suff1cit," meaning "One is not enough"
all the world insisted on forgetting
that the king referred to single scep-
ter and enthusiastically agreed with
him that one ducat wasn't enough for
any one.
On the contrary, storm of ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon, king of Etruria, i'll the early
part OF the last century inscribed vi

coins. The words mean Let the poor
one wanted to know why a poor man
should rejoice at merely seeing piece

the arms of Gregory XIII. are the
words EFT Super Hanc Petram" (And

and the artist who designed the coin
meant the words to refer to the papa

SO maliciously to the coin itself that
the issue was speedily stopped. A sim

TOMORROW's BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where Ii Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.

Most people who have read Jules
Vernes Around the World In Eighty
Days" will remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet, having for
gotten that in following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco, which is reck-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best part of q
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes a time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out of a day in his life.
In Pacific, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line of the changing day is not
a straight one. The Islands in the Pa
! cific take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line
of the change zigzags down the Pa
cific from south to north, lodging be-
tween the islands.
Hence 1t might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped a day
would reach an island which clings to
San Francisco time. In such a case 1t
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship
If the ships jolly boat We're lying al
a wharf, 1t would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And If a person lives somewhere
near the line he can get sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow in the
most delightful fashion.

The Sara qossans.

1t is said that the queer, composite
race of people that dwell upon the
waterlogged hulks Of the Saragossa
sea, in the mid-A tlantic, have a pretty
theory about death. They believe that
those to whom the messenger comes
when the sun is shining brightly are
transported straight away to heaven
of warm fresh water only four feet in
depth. in which they may wade and
disport themselves to all eternity. On
the other hand, those who receive the
call of death In hours of darkness
must needs endure probationary pc
riod before they can enter into the
future life The Saragossans are in
addition firm believers in Fremont
tons, omens and Denominations.
