Motor Car Catcher.

The scorching motorist has become
in some parts of the country such a
menace to the safety of passengers on
the highways that it was only to be
expected invention would stop in and
provide some means of adequately
checking the speed Of the car as it
flashes past certain point,
In this country we have been slow
to adopt any measures to attain this
end, and Germany has forestalIed us
with an invention which is now to be
used by motorists through the Father
land The prefect of police offered a
prize for the best invention submitted
for checking the pace at which car
is travelling with the result that the
speedometer came into being.
This instrument very much resem-
bles clock, and is to be fitted to the
back of every car. It's principal point
is circular disc, which changes color
according to the speed at which a car
is travelling For instance, IL the ve-
hicle is covering ten kilometres an
hour, the white plate appears; if from
yellow plate represents a speed of
from twenty to thirty kilometres,
whilea blue plate records any speed
above thirty. If the motorist denies
having driven the car above the limit
ed speed, the police can easily test the
truth of his assertion by opening the
speedometer, when a ribbon VIII be
seen whereon the speed at which the
car has Travelled for every hundred
kilometres Of the journey has been
licked automatically by the instru-
ment
Sir Ralph Payne-Gallwey's sugges-
ton that the police of this country
shall carry a weapon with which TO
discharge small shot into the tires OF
the runaway motor car is scarcely
such an effective way of pulling up
the lawbreaking motorist as the ex-
| plosive tire which a French engineer
has Just devised and placed before the

resentation of the actual scene in

The production was the work OF
an inventive FTenchman, who had

and reproductions of the historical
costumes made. Then a number OF

represent the King, the aged Primate
and other central figures-and re-

SKY scRAPMe RAILROADS.
What Their Introduction Has Done
For Commerce.

For Commerce.
Cy Warman, whose stories of West
ern railroad building and adventure
are well known, tells in a magazine
article the respective elevations at
which the great transcontinental lines
get over the Great Divide. The San
ia Fe system crosses the Ration Pass
at 1900 feet above sea level, thus car
rying its through trains TO an eieya-
tlon considerably greater than the
top of Mount Washington. The Rio
Grande and the Colorado Midland
reach the crest of the continent at
about ten thousand feet above sea
level. The old station called Summit
on the Union Pacific, although about
two thousand feet lower than that,
seemed as 1t opened out of the snow
sheds like a refuge camp on the top
Of a mountain. The Northern Pacific
gets across the continent by going but
little over a mile above sea level, and
the Great Northern's highest eleya-
ton is slightly below a mile. The
Canadian Pacific tips over the hill at
substantially the same height, while
the new Grand Trunk Pacific, which
Mr. Warman is describing and to
show this is the object of his tabula-
tion-will not climb an elevation ex-
ceeding $500 feet in getting across the
continent This is essentially the ele-
vation of the roads crowning the APP
palachian system of the East. At
Deer Park, on the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, approximately the highest
point IL reaches on short stretch Of
table-land the railroad station bears
the announcement that its elevation
above sea level is 1900 feet. This is
the Transsiberian system makes in
| crossing the Ural Mountains into Rus
sia, range which is regarded as a
/ sufficient barrier to separate one con-
tinent from another And these fig
/ ures are all of more than academic in
terest. Railroads at easy grades can
move freight cheap and so the whole
tendency in railroading has been to
tunnel under these highest points.
The Union Pacific has done this on a
larger scale probably than any other
American road, cutting out by means
of tunnels miles and miles of track
which it was once necessary to protect
by snow sheds, while the Santa Fe
made an enormous investment three
years ago, laying miles of track, tc
reduce the elevation which had been
necessary at the Ration Pa9s. Rail.
roads like to attract passenger traffic
by calliDg themselves scenic routes,
but in the great practical business Of
freight carrying, the fewer irregulari
ties of contour they have to meet the
better it suits them.

HOW He won Honors.

Liebnit2, one of the great men OF
literature, who died in l7l6, wished
to join a society of alchemists who
were prosecuting a search for the
philosophers stone. He complied a
letter from the writings of the most
celebrated alchemists and sent 1t to
the society. The letter consisted OF
the most obscure terms he could
find and he himself, he said, did not
understand a word of it. Afraid to
be thought ignorant the society In
vited him 10 its meetings and made
him secretary.
