A DECISION Of the Court Of Appeals
OF New York, in case which grew ont
of dispute over the right to car seat,
holds that placing a piece of baggage in
a seat does not pre'emp; the space. The
court rules that passenger cars are to
carry persons, not baggage, and that
ailling seat with luggage confers no
title to the seat on the owner Of the grip.
In other words, if a traveller wants to
make sure of sitting in an ordinary day
coach, he or she must take seat and
remain in it. The decision ought to
prevent much argument on crowded

The Wonders of Formosa

THE most picturesque fakes of modern
times belong to the eighteenth CEN
tury. In 1903 there came to London a
rogue almost as impudent and quite as
clever as Ireland, who succeeded in
making himself the talk of the town. To
this day no one knows what his name
was; but he called himself George Psal-
manazar, and maintained that he was
the son of a nobleman of FormoSa He
rightly guessed that Formosa was suf-
fciently remote and unknown to make it
possible to interest people in bogus de-
scriptions of its wonders. While still on
the Continent, he had scraped acqua11t-
ance with a rascally Scot chaplain, who
had entered into his schemes and given
him a letter of introduction to the Bishop
Of London. Duly introduced by this dis
tinguished prelate, he became celebrated

the credu1ous eighteenth century was a

Defoe. He had the modern journalistic
spirit in a high degree. Ever alert to
catch the public ear, he put forth, in the
counts of subjects that he thought would
be of interest at the moment When the
news reached England, about 1921, that
the plague was spreading in France, and
people in London began to be alarmed
