Summer visitors at the Semmerine

ing-a sport hitherto confined to the
winter months, says the Vienna cor.
respondent Of Pail Mall Gazette.
The new summer toboggan has a
body shaped very much like the ordi

four low wheels. Equipped with a
strong and reliable brake, as we'll as

ant and speedy means of descending
mountain and hill paths, and has al.

gan will have other uses besides sport
and amusement, for It offers q swift
and ready vehicle for carrying a mes
senger from the. mountain hotels to

proved entirely satisfactory.

There certainly are differences In

times philosophers, "or at least diff
ferent ways OF expressing them.
"A few days ago shocking incident
occurred In the apartment house
where live. The janitor, who was an
unusually good looking man, about IS
years old, killed himself. for some
wholly inadequate reason--some diff
ference with his employer. OF course
everybody In the house was much up
set BY the tragedy and !. with other
tenants, went down to the basement
to see his wife and offer aid.
THE wife. however, seemed more
resentful than griefstricken.

that when, In few years afterward.
he removed to Nashville, nothing
could prevent him from spelling In

Then, some time later. the Judge
moved again, this time to Murfrees-

WOMEN LIVE IN ORIENTAL
SECIUSION

Women of the middle class in Spain.
according TO an English observer. are
not highly educated. but. like their
sisters of the working class, they
possess quick intelligence This quail
ity is very marked in all Spanish
women. and has been noted by trav-
elers of many nationalities. 1t is.
however. among the middle class
women of Spain that the Moorish
tradition survives most strongly, and
the lady is less "emancipated' than
the peasant woman or the factory
worker. 4 long code of inhibitions
binders her mental development.
Her life is empty and she lives in a
kind of Oriental seclusion. In politi-
cal and social affairs the women Of
Spain are usually on the side of the
reformers and innovators. on the
other hand. they are the chief sup
porters of the clerical system, and
their zeal for religion often approaches
naticism.-Albuquerqu Citizen.

SEES MORE THAN THE
ARTIST.

When instantaneous photography
Mas first discovered some thirty years
ago. high hopes We're entertained of
If 1v the artists Ii was thought. for
instance. that it would prove of ines
unable value to such painters as
1Ieissonier and Schreyer, men who de-
lighted to portray the horse in vio-
lent action. But to the surprise of
.vcrybody' these great expectations
were not realized. At first the artists
themselves were puzzled to account
for this. AMI To explain why the cur
Iously contorted attitudes now dis
closed for the first time conveyed so
little the impression of motion. But
when the instantaneous photographs
were subjected TO the process of elm
nation and selection, il was discOv-
cred that there were practically only
two instants in the stride of the gal
Iapng horse that conveyed any idea
IF rapid flight to the human exc. The
first of these was at the very begin
r.ug Of the stride, when. with all four
legs hunched together under the belly,
the animal was preparing for the for
ward leap; and the second was at the
end Of the impulse. when with legs
outstretched to the limit. the horse
was ready to take the ground again
for another stride. Both Of these pc
Rods, it will be seen. were the instants
of arrest of motion-instants which
the human eve could readily seize the
action without the Intervention of the
kodak Then at last was perceived
the fundamental law which underlay
the phenomena: the human eve and
human brain behind it defined to &C
Cept as a symbol of motion anything
which the eve had not been able to
see for and by itself unaided In this
aase. Of course, il was only during the
two instants of arrest of motion that
the eye had been able TO note the po-
sition of the horses limbs. and these
TWO positions of comparative inaction
had. through long association. be |
