An Automobile Tempest.

Germany's Hessian Automobile club
recently issued "decalogue for cart
drivers" calling upon them in more
or less peremptory terms to pay
prompt attention to the signals of mo-
tor horns, This document was criti-
cised by a peasant reichstag member.
Herr Kohler, who said: 81 should like
to recommend the following ras--an
eleventh commandment for all cart
men: Go and get yourself license
for firearms and then a thoroughly
serviceable revolver. so that you can
protect yourself when you are fallen
upon by the modern vermin which rem
der the country roads unsafe and tribe
with human life" The automobile
club has retaliated by prosecuting Herr
Kohler for melting to crime.

1t 10 probable that some stranger from
Sweden, travelling In England. bought
at the door of London theater-the
Rose or the Curtain. perhaps--n small.
thin quarto volume. He paid six
pence for It as memento Of his
visit to a London playhouse. 1t was
not worth more than that. at least to
any one critical of printing or literary
art or of morals.
Yet this same little book was not
long ago discovered In the house of
countrywoman in Sweden. and today
1t is almost priceless. Dealers in such
treasures have We'd with one another
to obtain possession of the work.
This sixpenny quarto. hidden in swe-
den for 300 years, is the only copy
known to exist Of the first edition Of
the play of Titus Andronicus," print

that the play was then printed. but It
was believed that the entire edition
had been lost. Then the chance dis

DIR. Camassia, an italian. suggests a
new method Of Identification. After
long study he has come to the conclu-
sion that the back of the hand possess
es advantages over the fingers. He
says the veins on the back of the hand
are never the same on each hand and
the hands of two persons possess such
distinct markings that they can never
be taken one for the other. The differ
ences become most apparent when the
hand is clinched. The hand easily al
lows itself to be photographed and of
fers much better scope for observa-
