Lightning and Rubber Tires.

"In a thunderstorm you can't be in a safer place than motorcar," said an electrician. It's the tires. They lnsulate you. With lightning playing all about, the tires protect the occu, pants of the car perfectly. The occu- pants are as safe as though they weren't there. The rubber of the tire and the dry air filling 1t form this in- Sulation. It's impregnable, and they who fear the lightning can't do better, In thunderstorm, than to order out the car."-Kansas City Star.

Why the Criminal weep..

Why the Criminal Weeps.
 The central office detective had just sent one of the wors criminals in the city away for long, long rest.
 Did he give you any troubleT asked a friend.
 'No; he did good deal of crying though.''
 "For some woman, I suppose?"
 "Woman? Rather noti They never cry for human beings. This fellow had a wife who had stuck by him through the trial and who before he was caught worked her fingers off for him Then there were two children. But he never mentioned them. He was crying about his tiight-his pigeons, you know, He had about sixty fancy ones, and whenever he thought of what would become of them while he was away tears would spring to his eyes. A lot of the worst crooks and gangsters in the city are fanciers, and kid couldn't be more sentimental than they are. Sometimes, too, they are sorry for dogs. I knew one who was more anx- ious about his ferret than anything else. At the same time I never knew a criminal, man or woman, who had a cat among the things they were sorry to leave behind.

Chess Word Wanderers.

An interesting set of word wander CTS clusters about the game of chess. Shah" the Persian word for king, was corrupted in French to ''eschec," !" which has been transferred into Eng Hsh as "check." Our verb and noun check, in most of the common uses. has arisen from the cry of "Checkw- literally '.Kingg' or Look out for your king?'-which is given when a player puts his opponents king in danger. When a player has put his opponents king in such condition that he can not be rescued he cries. "Checkmater' a corruption of the Persian Shah matr' or 'The king is deadv' The chessboard was called in old French an "eschequier." From this word are derived our checker" both verb and noun; checkers" the name of an- other game played on the same kind of board, and "excheQuer," so called on account of the checkered cloth on which accounts were formerly calcu- lated.-Minneapolis Journal.
