A Lad of Mystery.

For a little while about the middle
of the nineteenth century that awful
boy Jones" was the torment of Queen
Victorias life, and his short career in
public contains a mystery which
would try the mettle of Sherlock
Holmes.
He was barber's apprentice who in
some unexplained way discovered a
passage into Buckingham palace, with
which he alone was acquainted When
he was first found trespassing he was
gently admonished and sent home.
in the palace. He would not tell how
he obtained access. Again he was sent
home, and again he reappeared.
Once he calmly admitted that he
had been lodging in the palace for
fortnight. He had laid snug during
the day, sleeping in the royal apart
ments, and at night had wandered
from room to room, helping himself to
the food left over from royal repasts.
He had seen the queen repeatedly and
indeed had never been far from hr.
The matter was considered so seri-

fore a special meeting of the privy
council. He refused to give any ac-
count Of his secret. Soon after he dis

The Porter,s Dilemma.

The porter was greatly perpleXed.
At High Polsover, says a writer in
London Opinion, a lady with lorgn-
cite entered the train. She was a
middle aged, tall, angular, tailor-made
woman, and she looked sternly at the
commercial traveller in the seat op-
posite through her lorgnette Before
seating herself she opened the carriage
window, and sent it down with a bang.
At Hilsdon Cross another woman came
in.
She had fluffy hair and an appeal
ing look in her blue eyes. She sat
down and glanced at the open window
and shivered pathetically; then she
looked at the commercial traveller.
II shall be frozen to DEATH" cried
the fluffy-haired lady.
"If this window is closed, ! shall
suffocate!" cried the other woman.
The porter opened his mouth. He
started to raise the window Then
he retreated. Dazed, he turned appeal
ingly to the commercial traveller
Both the women also turned to the
commercial traveller That gentleman
rose, passed by the ladies, opened the
door to the platform, and went out,
followed by the porter.
And what, sir" said the porter,
would you say as 'ow / should do,
sir?"
Its quite simple" said the com
mercial traveller. Leave the window
as it is, open, till one lady is frozen
to death; tnen close it and suffocate

sistance of any animal" At the same
time he predicted the coming Of the
steamship and the flying machine. The
scientific character of Bacon's mag
ination has been completely vindicated
in the ocean liners and the swift
flying automobiles and partially so in
the recent efforts of Santos-Dumont
and others.
The horseless carriage first took tan
gible form in the seventeenth century,
when Johann Haustach of Nuremberg
2ontrived a vehicle propelled by huge
cOiled spring, the action being on the
principle of clockwork Haustach was
known as "a manufacturer of chariots
going by spring and making 1000
PAGES an hour" The spring was con-
trolled by a lever in the hands of the
chauffeur, and, in the absence of a
steering device, the chariot" could be
propelled only in a straight line. Haus-
tach seems to have paid no more at
tention to the ornamentation of the
body of his vehicle than to its pro-
pulsiOn.
Sail Wagons of Holland.
About the same time probably the
general utilization of the winds of
heaven in the windmills of Holland
suggested the idea of sail wagons"
used to some extent on the fiat plains
of that country. These were called
"seylende windwagen," and consisted
of the rigging of a ship attached to
wheeled platforms.
In 1644 a patent of Louis XIV.

supposition, in the absence of detailed
drawings, is that the men seated"

Sir Isaac Newton is said to have in

had conceived the idea of propelling
vehicles by steam power. The devel |
