Early Work in France.
In 1859 Nicholas Joseph Cugnot,
with state funds placed at his disposal
by the Due de Choiseul, constructed a
steam gun carriage and the following
year he produced an improved auto
which is still preserved in Paris. The
machine had but three wheels, the
boiler overhanging in front on the
theory that it's weight would be coun-
teracted 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

about the same time produced steam
carriage which used legs as auxil-
iaries. The steam coach patented by
Walter Hancock and named the eau
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

vIRGINIA's GIFT TO FRANCE.
State to Present to Republic a Copy of
George Washington's Statue.

Virginia is to present to France a
copy of her most cherished possession
the Washington statue, which stands in
the rotunda of the capitol The original
is life size, of marble and one of the adj
mired art pieces of the world. The bill
providing for the copy has been present
ed by Senator King and will be passed
just as soon as it comes from the finance
committee, says the Washington Star.
The appropriation will be 10000. The
work Of reproducing the statue will be
done in the rotunda of the capitol. The
contractor must give bond for the safe
ty of the marble and its preservation.
About year ago a copy was made of
the figure and was sent to the Hall of
Fame in Washington. 1t may be that
the same artist will get the contract for
this duplicate. The statue is to go to the
French government as a gift from the
people of Virginia.

The Explanation.

Mrs. Smiths cat, when very old, be-
came the parent of one lone kitten. Her
friend, Mrs. Jones, who was a devout
student of the Bible, suggested that out
of respect for the aged mother cat the
old age-a little one.''
And so it came to pass that Ben gave
birth to kittens. Mrs. Jones, somewhat
discounted after hearing the news, hur-
ried to Mrs. Smiths.

preston. Witness the fact that Raj
has orchestrated Bach's "Chaconne'
without making it seem ridiculous
Many others have followed with hap
py results Rats example of arranging
Bach's music for the modern orches
ira.
The ease with which Bachs music
lends itself to this adaptation is proof
of his comprehensive genius. He was
not for his day, but for all time.

The torpedo boat destroyer Sterrett,
which was recently launched at Quincy,
Massachusetts. is one of the pioneers of
a new and enlarged type of ocean-going
destroyers that will be able to remain
at sea with fleets of battleships. Boats
of this kind can serve admirably as
cruisers and do heavy damage to the
commerce of an enemy. They are for
midable ships, of which it has been re-
marked that the grim old sea fighter
Commodore Andrew Sterrett, after
whom the new craft has been named,
would have swept the Mediterranean of
Barbary pirates if he had under his
feet a craft of this kind.

The loss of twelve lives by the sink
ing Of the Mississippi steamer Saltillo,
q short distance south of St Louis, was
due to momentary panic. The captain
frankly confesses that there would have
been no loss of life had he not permitted
the passengers to run out on the lowered
gang plank before the sinking steamer
had settled or the bank. The victims
were shaken off into the river when the
moving plank struck a tree. But panic
stricken people are hard to control, and
serious accidents on the water during
which there are no fatal mistakes are
quite rare.

Congress having approved the bill ap-
propriating one hundred thousand dol
lars for the raising of the Maine, the
work will be undertaken notwithstanding
opinion that the amount provided will
fall far short of requirements. 1t may
be necessary to build a cofferdam around
the sunken ship, and this may be very
expensive because of the depth of the
sludge at the bottom of Havana harbor.
Piling may be driven around the ship,
and the hull thus raised and bulkheaded
SO that it can be floated away after the
piles are Withdrawn.

Oil cake from the soya bean. upon
which a duty has heretofore been as
sessed at 20 per cent. ad valorem, will
hereafter be admitted free of duty by
virtue of a decision to that effect by
the Treasury Department. The soya
bean is very prolific, and oil cake made
from it will share with fax and cotton
seed oil cake the patronage of stockrais-
ers who feed it to cattle The reduction of
the price that will naturally follow the
lowering of the duty will therefore be
helpful to the stockraisers and incidental
ly to the consumer of meats. Every
thing counts.

Unconquered Air.

At the present moment the safest

to something very near perfection in
manageability. Even before undertaking

would see that his affairs were in order.

China's abolition of slavery is a d.
rect result of the awakening of the gov
eminent of the Flowery kingdom under
the influence of contact with the Occi-
dental world. China has noted Japan's
advance as a nation, and she is ambi-
rious to make similar progress. There
fore she may be expected to do every
thing that will increase respect for her
among the people of other nations, and
at the same time push forward industrial
and commercial enterprise.
