ment TO the Senate but he did not do
so. 1t was said afterward by persons

him this information.

luton was adopted fixing IL O'Clock

Then and Now.

When Wilbur Wright first went to
France he was allowed to live pretty
much TO himself in his camp at lie Mans
and cooked the most of bis simple meals
in a frying pan over an Gil stove. He
vas used to camping out, and enjoyed
this sort of existence.
But when the first fights of the Wright
machine had been made and the skeptlcs
who thought Wright was bluffng, found
he was really the premier aviator or the
world the crowds swooped down on him.
He has been kept busy lodging dinner
invitations ever since.
II was a deathblow to tie simple life.
The French government would now like
TO capture the original frying pan and
hang it up by a pink bow in the his
torical section of the Louvre.
In default of this the government pro-
poses to decorate the two brothers with
the cross of the Legion of Honor. The
German and Italian governments are
going to decorate them. Both Spain and
Russia have contracted to buy aeropianes
of the Wright type and want to entertain
the distinguished inventors.

NNE of the oldest little animals in
w. existence is the California wood
rat, better known as the trade
rat 1t owes the latter name to the
fact that, though it is a great thief, it
never steals anything without putting
something else in it's place. 1t is said
that a pastepot which had been left
over night in the assay Office of a sill
yer mine in that State was found in
the morning filled with the oldest col
lection of rubbish. This was the work
of trade rats. They had stolen the
paste and left in exchange a piece of
stick, a length of rope. some odds and
ends of wire and an unbroken glass
funnel. The object of the trade rat in
SO s~crupulously paying for what he
takes is something of a mystery. But
these same rats certainly take the
greatest pleasure in the odds and ends
which they steal and collect.
In LindsaW's Mind in Lower AMI
mails" a description is given of a trade
rats nest found in an unoccupied house.
The outside was composed entirely of
iron spikes laid in perfect symmetry.
with the points outward. Interlaced
with the spikes were about two dozen
oAh' oilh SDpOliS All ltlltt ldISc
butcher knives. There were also a
large carving fork knife and steel,
several plugs Of tobacco, an old purse,
a quantity of small carpenters tools,
including several augers, n a watch,
of which the outside casing, the glass
and the works were all distributed sep
arately, so as to make the best show
possible.
The trade rat has its South American
counterpart in the yiscacha, a pretty
little relation of the chinchilla, which
lives in families Of twenty to thirty on
he ampas. Everything that takes its
fancy and is portable is carried by the
viscacha and piled in neat little heaps
at the mouth of its burrow. If a ranch
nan drops his watch or any similar
article he always searches the Wis
cacha burrows in the ,n~eighborhood and
usually finds his lost property.
