The proposal of the American Forestratlon
company to pay the city a million dollars for
the privilege of planting eucalyptus trees on
Owens river valley and to turn over the
eucalyptus forest at the end of fifteen years
was referred to the water commission by the
city council yesterday.

An Imaginative Statesman.

Imagination Is the greatest moving force in the world In saying this I am merely repeating a remark of Dis raeli's, and to prove the strength of his conviction I will repeat story MT. Lowell told me when he was minister to England. It Is the custom of the Royal Academy of Painters to hold a private view of their pictures before the public exhibition Disrael. walk Ing arm in arm with Browning through the galleries, said, What strikes me most forcibly here Is the lack of imagination" and he proceeded to enlarge upon the power of imagina- ton, declaring 1t to be the greatest force In the world. In responding to toast at the banquet which followed the private exhibition he dwelt upon the wealth of imagination in evidence on the walls about him and again ex- pressed his conviction that imaeina- ton Is the moving force in the world. Browning repeated Disraeli's first re- mark to Gladstone, who sat beside him, and he muttered, "The devil"'- John Trowbridge in Atlantic.

First Can+aiauer Eridlc.

The first cantalever railroad bridge is the one across the Firth of Forth at Queens Ferry. Scotland. It Is nearly one and half miles in length Fifty one thousand tons of steel were used in it's construction, employing as many as 5000 men at one time. It cost $16,- 100000 and fifty-six lives. The work men began at either end and worked toward the center. When they met and undertook the last connection 1t was found that the two ends lacked & small fraclon of an inch of reaching far enough to allow the insertion of the bolts that were to complete the ypan. For a time this was a puzzle, but was finally solved by an ingenious workman wAo suggested expansion by artificial heat, and 1t was forthwith supplied by means of burning kerosene oil under the steel girder.

Keep the Brakes wen shOd.

In course of time wear came to the
grocer's wagon, the leather wore away
from the brakes and the wood took no firm
bite on the tire. Much squeaking followed
In consequence on down grades and where
the hill was at all steep there was danger
Of an accident.
Either by the exercise of his own powers
of reasoning or on the prompting of some
one more expert in interpreting the
troubles which come in time to vehicles of
every degree the grocer discovered that
the brake shoes had worn out. To identify
the trouble was in the same process to
discover how TO apply the remedy, the
brakes needed new shoes.
From his own supply Of shoes that had
outlasted their usefulness upon the grocer's
feet he selected q pair for the barefoot
brakes. With a hammer and a few nails
he was able to do the cobbling for himself.
With brakes properly shod once more the
wagon was put i'm shape for the delivery
Of wares both uphill ana down. The shoes
were shoes to begin with; nailed to the
brakes they certainly became brake shoes.
A fine touch of accuracy was added, in the
precision with which the right foot shoe
braked the right wheel and the left shoe
the left wheel.

GOOD ROADS IN THE SOUTH
Outburst NJ Beneficial Activity
lacked by Millions Of Public
Money.

Plans contemplating the expenditure OF
between S2O,OOO,OOO and $25,0OO,OOO for the
permanent Improvement OF highways in
the south. and southwest have been
launched during the last twelve months.
Some of them have taken form in con-
tracts awarded and work already done;
some nave sresulted in increased direct
taxation or in the issue of state. county
or township bonds, and others, involving
the question of bond issues, are still to be
determined by voters.
The plans are a demonstration Of the
deep and widespread practical interest in
a movement that will advantage the south
beyond the outcome of any other action
that has been taken for it's benefit within
recent years, says the Manufacturers
Record So momentous is this movement.
so full of definite promise and so bound
to expand as details of it become known
that the Manufacturers Record has I'M
dertaken a census Of southern good roads
sentiment as embodied in reports from
county officials and others in the fourteen
southern states and in Oklahoma and Mis-
souri,, closely allied to them. interested in
the question of highway improvement.
Such records OF county public opinion
on this vital subject have never before
been made, and an analysis OF them Is
full of interesting and valuable sugges-
ton for good roads advocates, not only
In the south, but in the whole country.
They tell of facts accomplished, of pro-
jects well under way, of varying senti-
ments, of aids to the movement, and OF
its impediments. AS to definite accom-
~plishments, allusion is made of the use
of a portion of the funds available under
the 5000 900 state bond issue authorized
in Maryland and under the Shoemaker
law for the enforcement OF county
funds; of the cooperation of the state
and the counties in Virginia; OF the au.
| thorization Of the use OF ~convicts in
Georgia, and of like employment of then
in Louisiana; of the great progress made
under taxation in parts OF North Carolina
and of the hearty and liberal support Of
bond issues in Tennessee, Texas, Alabama

DUTCH COLONIAL RATHsKEILER
Auto show at Madison Square Garden
to Have n novelty.

A revelation in the rathskeller line is
promised for visitors to the Tenth National
automobile show which is to be held in
Madison Square Garden during the week Of
January 8 to 10. Every nook and Granny
of the historic building has been con-
sidered in the plan of decoration and those
who have been privileged to see the decora-
tive scheme adopted for the forthcoming
show by the committee in charge say the
big ampitheater will present a scene Of
unsurpassed grandeur that will make it
-unrecognizable to its regular patrons. The
basement, where the commercial vehicles
and motorcycles are to be on view, will
be decorated more attractively than ever
before and here, buried among dangling
foliage, the rathskeller will be found.
Thu rathskeller is of the Dutch Colonial
type and is painted in cream white. The
entrance, with its two Doric columns, is
UNIQUE, and it is said that there is nothing
along New York's great white way" to
compare with 1t. Crimson and green
ramblers, ~clinging to latticework effects
adorn the edges of the inn and autumnal
foliage trails to the top Of 1t on each side
of the entrance. There Is a ~passageway
on either side of the inn and a glimpse of
what is within its clapboarded walls can
be had by peeping through the old-fash-
Toned windows which front on the passage
ways. Bay trees in boxes adorn the base
of each column in front of the inn and one
side of the entrance is thanked with a
rustic seat.

a larger car, OF course, costs more to run.
My car weights LOO pounds, and is not so

might add the auto don't tire, don't sweat,
and doesn't need a fly net.
And now as to the question Of economy,
compared with the horse. / think, mile
for mile, they will not cost as much, con-
sidering first cost and maintenance, but
on the other hand, Brother Farmer, you
can figure on going at least five times as
much. You may even hunt up excuses to
go, and you may get as absurd as to think
your wife is a dear old girl when she tells
you she is all out of tea and want you to
take her to town. She will catch the auto
fever as well as yourself. She may kick
on your using tobacco or spending money
otherwise, but she won't say anything
about your gasoline bills. So there is the
economy side OF 1t. But, summing up the
whole thing, they are a great convenience,
the same as the rural telephone, the rural
mail delivery, the daily newspaper, etc, that
the farmer now has. They all help to
bring the farmer out of his isolation and
make his vocation one to be desired, and
his life worth living.-George Kent, Huron

toners,

When the m came into the boot
backing place she looked about appre-
hensively at the men customers. She did
take a seat, though, and the youthful boot
black put an end to the obvious source of
her fears by producing one Of those clasps
that men use when riding a bicycle and
slipping it on just above the woman's ankle
so that it held her skirt firmly in place
and left only the neat looking low shoe in
sight.
She settled back with an air Of relief and
the boot black polished the shoe. When he
was through with that one he took of
the clasp and made use Of it in the sam
way for the other. 1t was a wrinkle that
was new to some of the observers.

Most people see no harm in stretch

says his stands at 9s, you are the

There is large and flourishing class
of liars who everlastingly pretend to
know what the weather is going to do,
setting themselves up as intimate
friends of the weather. when, as every
one knows. their acquaintance is bare
ly speaking one. Once in awhile a
born liar, meaning to lie, will tell the.
truth in spite of himself, and it is thus
with the weather professors; they
can't miss the right guess always, be-
cause there are so few things for the
weather man to do.
Call on half a dozen of your weather
wise friends and ask them what It is
