The Wickedest PaonIe

I think the wickedest people on
earth are these who use a force OF
genius to make themselves selfish in
the noblest things; keeping themselves
aloof from the vulgar, the ignorant,
and the unknown; rising higher and
higher in taste, till they sit, ice upon
ice, on the mountain top of eternal
congelation.-Henr Ward Beecher.

American Grace Lines.

tour to the lines of American demoi-
selles and matrons, and these are pre-
served longer and more gracefully
than in any other peoples-ancient or

SLEEPING OUT OF DooR4


in the Arisona Desert.
People drop into loose habit of
speaking about the right and the
wrong way OF doing thing" remark
ed the experienced camper, according
to the New York Times. LAS mat
te OF fact, there may be a dozen good
ways and as many bad.
Take sleeping in the open, for In
stance. My little trips haven't been
confined to the Adirondacks and the
Berkshires. I've knocked over the
whole North American continent and
I've picked up some mighty good
wrinkles that were never heard OF
within a 250-mile radius of New York
City.
Down in the Arizona desert last
year l was member of party Irav-
cling between Tucson and the Mexican
frontier. The first night out found us
in the middle of a fiat expanse of sand.
There wasn't even a hillock or a rock
behind which one could find shelter.
But the westerners in the party
knew trick or two. | was surprised
to see them grubbing out little hol-
/
shape OF the human body. They made
deep depression for the hips and a
shallow one for the shoulders, with
sand banked up in the middle to SUPP
port the small of the back. At one
end they built up a ridge of sand as a
footrest, pounding and stamping on 1t
until 1t was compact enough not to
break down under pressure.
Then we wrapped ourselves In our
blankets Arizona fashion. We placed
one corner OF the blanket on the left
side, Just below the heart, and turned
around until the body was covered five
or six folds deep. This left plenty to
spare at both ends, which was disposed
of by giving the blanket turn
around our feet and knotting 1t, and
folding down the upper end around
the head as a sort of cape.
1--WE lay down in the hollows we had
repared-'graves, the westerners
called them and found that we were
amply protected from the wind The
latter blew the fine sand over us, and
in time our blankets were hidden from
sight. There was no danger of our
being choked, however as we used our
saddles as pillows, which kept our
heads at a sufficient elevation from
the surface of the desert
when we opened our eyes at dawn
the ground was covered with a heavy
frost 1t must have been very cold
during the night, but we had not fell

J selves free of the sand that had sifted
into our clothes, and lighted a fire

machine had but three wheels, the
boiler svsrhanging In front on the
theory that its weight would be coun-
teractsd by the load on the carriage.
The engine was directly behind the
boiler and consisted of two 13-inch
single-acting cylinders. The move
ment Of the piston was transmitted
to the axle of the driving wheel by two
ratchet wheels. The engine could be
reversed at will. There was steer
ing gear, and the vehicle proved its
capacity for carrying a load OF two
and one-half tons at a speed of three
miles an hour. Napoleon Bonaparte
caused the appointment of commits
sion Of the institute to investigate
the invention, but the revolution sud-
denly put an effectual check on the
further development of the automobile
1t is interesting to note that in the
matter of the production of a prac-
ical automobile France led the world
in the eighteenth century, as she now
leads the world in the building Of
racing machines of tremendous power.
DR.. John Robinson is said to have
suggested to James Watt, the reputed
inventor of the steam engine, in 1859
the idea of building a steam-propelled
carriage. Watt. apparently, did not

.Tn the Hand. of HI. Friends"

A correspondent who has observed
many instances of the good under
standing which prevails between the
negroes and their white neighbors in
the southern states tells the story Of
a colored man who left his South Caro-
lima home to become barber in an
Illinois city. Not long afterward a
negro was lynched in this town, and
fears of race riot" were entertained.
A customer entering the shop found
the barber packing up his tools, and
learned that he proposed to return to
South Carolina.
There is too much lynchin' goin'
on IN these parts" declared he
"'Tain't safe round hyar"

were devised as propellers. The Cor
don machine, patented in 1924, was
six-legged affair, the pedals being op-
Grated by steam. Goldworthy Durney
about the same time produced a steam
carriage which used legs as auxil.
iaries. The steam coach patented by
Walter Hancock and named the "Au-
topsy" was placed in commission, with
four others, between Stratford and
Paddington in 1886 and did a lively
passenger business. The more recent
development of the automobile is bet
ter known. In 1886 Charles e. Duryea
conceived the notion OF propelling a
carriage with a gasoline engine. and
two years later partially produced a

I'VE will be able to propel carriages
with incredible speed without the as
sistance of any animal" At the same
time he predicted the coming of the
steamship and the flying machine. The
scientific character of Baeon's mag
ination has been completely INDICATED
in the ocean liners and the swift
flying automobiles and partially so in
the recent efforts of Sentos-Dumont
and others.
The horseless carriage first took tan
gible form in the seventeenth century.
when Johann Haustach of Nuremberg
eontrived 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 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 it's pro-
pulsfon.
Sail Wagons OF Holland.
About the same time probably the
general utilization of the winds of
heayen 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 1914 patent of Louis XIV.
granted to Jean Theson the privilege
of employing a little four-wheel car
riage set in motion without any horses,
but merely by two men seated" The
eupposition, in the absence of detailed
drawings, is that the men seated"
propelled the vehicle by strenuous leg
work.
Sir Isaac Newton is said to have in
vented steam carriage after others
had conceived the idea of propelling
vehicles by steam power The devel-
opment along this line followed close
iy that of the steam railroad. The
latter, however. appeared so much
more feasible to the invento~s that II
was followed and the steam carriage
idea thrown. into the background. New
toms idea was not original fundamen

man, fireman on the Spokane, Portland

by the engineer until the train had gone
about seven miles and the steam press
ure began to run low. The train was
then backed up and Coleman IS body was
found lying in a canyon 80 feet below
the track, with the skull terribly
crushed. The train crew believes that
Coleman climbed out on the side of the
engine to get a drink from the tender
and forgot about a bridge which was
close ahead.
