Turn to the Right Naturally.

The Philadelphia Record recently
quoted an observant street car conduc-
tor to the effect that the right hand
seats are always filed first. He could
not account for this except on the
theory that as most persons are right
handed and accustomed to turning to
the right, it might be simply force of
habit. There is another probable
reason which he did not think off,
says the Record. 1T is generally be-
heyed that the right side of a car is
safer An old traveller once said to
the writer: In travelling always sit in
the middle of car and on the right
hand side. The middle is safer than
the ends in a collision and the right
side is mt likely to be 'side-swiped"
by projecting objects on trains, cars
or any vehicles passing on the ada
cent track

long time and made plenty OF money.

continued Mr. Boehmer, where did
the millions of dollars taken out of the
California gulch placers in early days

a very large pile, but there were scores

from Bittcrfcld last night because the
airship had lost some gas and he thought
il wiser to start on the return trip to
Friedrichshafen, particularly as the
homrward journey would require from
fifteen to twenty hours.
The aeronaut is thoroughly satisfied
with his journey which is the longes,
excursion yet undertaken. The airship
covered some $50 miles including its ma.
ueuyering, within thirty-scycn hours.
The tearing of the envelope of the
forward compartment carries no partlcu-
lar lesson cNcep: that greater care must
be taken in steering.
