FACTS WORTH KNOWING.

A New York man has made a model
for a new style trolley car. which he
says will put all of the old cars out OF
business. 1t has no platforms and
three doors, one on each end and one
in the middle. The front entrance is
for men only and the rear entrance
for women only. All exits must BE-
made by the middle door. There is
no conductor on the car, but a cash
Ter. who collects the fares as the pas
sengers leave the car. The cashier
is to sit opposite turnstile and the
turnstiles will not move until he gets
his nickel The inventor claims that
the arrangement will concentrate
people at the middle of the ear and
will avoid the greatest evils of the
present system.

eARIRALDPs ROMANCE.
Yelled English Woman Who Enter
ed His Life in His Later Years.

Achille Fazzari, one of the closest
personal friends Of Giuseppe Garibaldi
has revealed n an interview publish
ed in the Tribuna of Rome a romance
in the later years of the italian patri-
OF. The heroine is a Mrs. Collins, an
Englishwoman, who with her husband
lived on the island of Caprera, where
Garibaldi made his home for many
years.
The couple had hut on the island,
but only tenanted it in tine widest
winter weather. The greater part of
their time was spent afioat in a sail
boat on which they originally reached
Caprera.
They lived mainly on the fish they
caught. on goats flesh and on wild
birds that the men shot; but every
fortnight they made a voyage to the
nearby island of La Maddalena. where
Collins landed. made necessary pur-
chases and got his letters.
The woman never left the BOAT, and
all the time that it remained close to
the shore she kept her face and head
muffied In a thick veil This was the
cause of endless speculation among
the peasantry.
Mrs. Collins was graceful. with the
step of youth and vigor, and she had
a melodious voice. One theory was
that the pair had eloped ind she was
afraid Of being recognized; but this
seemed to be negatived by the fact
that Collins made no effort to hide
his identity.
Finally the story got abroad that
she had been destroyed through burn
ing or scalding, or that she was now
repulsive to look at. Her husbands
affection was notwithstanding
seemed to be devoted to each other
but she could not bear to have any
stranger see her hence the isolation
In which they lived.
This story held good until Collins
died. His wife dug a grave for him
with her own hands in a sheltered
valley in Caprera. She remained on
the island for some years, but she dis
uSu sue Was ISNSdAGu dS d uGduLl-
full woman. and it was at once con-
cluded that unreasoning jealousy on
the part of her husband had driven
them to solitude.
Now comes Frazzari it'll the state
carded the vel.
ment that very shortly after Collins
death Garibaldi made the acquaintance
of the beautiful widow. The result
was passionate friendship or platonic
love, at least on the woman's side.
Frazzari says she wrote numerous
letters to Gar baldi, beginning IN 1860,
when she was in Italy. taking part in
the war OF uniflcation. All are couched
In terms of devotion.
When asfed what the end of the
romance was Fazzari started new
mystery.
Let 1t remain a secret" said he,
and no persuasion would induce him
to talk any more.

THE CHICAGO CANAL.
II Ranks in Possible Tonnage With
Largest Canals In World.

Largest Canals In World.
The Chicago sanitary and ship canal
was completed in 1900 and has cost
about SJ1,OOO,OOO. Through 1t the
drainage of the city flows to the Illi-
nois and thence to the Mississippi.
But it is not only sanitary canal, 1t
is also, as I have said, a ship canal
over thirty miles long. AS it now
stands, it ranks in possible tonnage
with the largest canals in the world.
1t is as deep as Suez. and more capa-
cious. But it is, as have said, ship
canal on which ships cannot go any
where, the reason being that it comes
to an end in that prairie country
near the headWaters of the Illinois.
This river needs to be dredged in or
der to float a ship or feet of barges
on the way to the gulf. At present
the Illinois merely suttices to carry
away the water brought to it by the
canal. AS such a deep waterway con-
nection of the two waterways systems
of the great interior would be of far
more than local significance, the gen
eral government is looked to for the
necessary deepening of the Illinois.
The costly canal, which has a normal
depth of twenty-fouT feet, and the
state river, which is easily deepened,
have together been offered to the gov
eminent at any time congress may see
fit to give the canal a connection with
St. Louis of at least fourteen feet in
depth.
This present summer sees practical
operations well under way on larger
Erie canal. It will cost $101 100000
and will be a bigger work than Pan.

ment of dirt removed and masonry in
stalled. The appropriation OF so much
was a matter for the people of New
York to decide and not only the
money. but another important matter,
was to be settled at the polls. Should
this deeper outlet of the lakes to the
ocean be a ship canal or should 1t be
only bigger barge canal? When
New York asked herself the question.
Chicago began TO hearken and to be
Interested.
Just as De Witt Clinton, when the
'o!d Erie canal was finished in 1926,
looked westward and wanted the gov
eminent to build a canal from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi as a west
ern extension of the Erie, so Chicago
now looks eastward All the cities

but Chicago, being the biggest, be
came spokesman. in a very disinter-
ested way Having had modern ex-
.perience. she pointed out, for instance,
that the price Of canal does not in
crease in proportion to its size, Nei-
lther does the expense of operating
boats increase in proportion to their
tonnage. Therefore, the bigger the
canal the cheaper IL is for the present
and the future New York ought t.
consider her interests and build a ship
canal. and Chicago offered this iafor-
nation on the best authority. When
confronted with these facts. Father

eye And when the truth was farther

Mars as Prophet.

Study Of Mars proves that planet to
occupy earthwise In some sort the post
Of prophet, for in addition to the side
lights 1t throws upon our past 1t is by
way of foretelllng our future. 1t ena-
bles us to no mean extent to foresee
what eventually will overtake the
earth in process of time, inasmuch as
from a scrutiny Of Mars coming events
cast not their shadows, but their light,
before.
It is the planets size that fits it thus
for the role of seer Its smaller bulk
has caused 1t to age quicker than our
earth, and In consequence 1t has long
since passed through that stage Of its
planetary career which the earth at
present is experiencing and has ad-
vanced to a further one, to which in
time the earth itself must come If 1t be
not overwhelmed beforehand by other
catastrophe. In detail of course no two
planets Of different initial mass repeat
each others evolutionary history, but
in general way they severally follow
something of the same road. -Percival

A Problem In Numbers.

No one is known TO have succeeded
in finding two integral numbers such
that the sum Of their cubes would pro-
duce the cube of whole number. The
cubes of the first ten numbers give the
following series: 1-S-27-64-125-216-343-
-729-1 600 This series may be pro-
longed indefinitely. The problem would
then be to find two members of the
series such that their sum is just equal
to another member. Adding 125 and
216, we get 341, which is certainly
pretty close TO 343. Again, adding 216
and 512. we obtain 72S, which is with
In single unit of 729, another member
of the series. Another example of be-
ing very close, but not exact, Is that
100 plus 1000 gives 1.729, which is but
a single unit more than 1,72S, the cube
Of 10. It will thus be seen that the
first twelve cubes yield two cases
where the approximation is but a unit
out of the way. AS the possible cubes
are Infinite in number, It may seem
worth while to prosecute the Search
