EVERYTHING WILL MOVE
IN CITY OF THE FUTURE.
Streets Will Be Covered and klousetops
AeropIane Garages.

AT the international town planning
conference in London, Eugene Henard,
municipal architect Of Paris, gave a
forecast of what the ideal city of the
future will be like. He said in sub
stance:
Light and energy will be conveyed
by electricity. Petrol and oxygen will
supply heat. Liquid air will keep up
refrigeration in every larder. In ad-
dition to heat radiators, there will be
cold radiators. which will enable each
house to be kept at the required tenn
perature.
"By this power it will be possible to
provide in each house one or more
health chambers closed by close fitting
double windows and doors in which
the overworked occupant on his return
from town will find all the hygienic
conditions which now he can obtain
only by taking an annual holiday.
"Glass verandas Of various shapes
Joined together and with covered foot
paths, according to standard models,
will shelter pedestrians against rain,
and. the normal height of buildings
will be exactly the width Of the street.
The roofs Of houses will be platforms
upon which small flower beds and YER
dant strawberries could be laid out,
as they would be the landing stages
for aeroplanes.
when this progress shall have been
accomplished the physiognomy of
towns will be changed. All terraces
will have become landing stages for
flying automobiles. Aviators will be
able to fly from one terrace to an
other, starting and landing as they
please. The natural consequence Of
this new state Of things will be that
each building will have to be furnish
ed with big elevators capable Of rails
ing machines when they are ready to
start and taking them back to the
garage on their return. Houses Of
this description will also be used to
house m%otorcars.
"Finally the town Of the future will
be %traversed by large radiating thor
oughfares. occupied partly by raised
platforms continually moving, which
will insure rapid communication be-
tween the different zones. These plat
forms will be terminated by large re-
volving crossways at the intersection
of the main roads. Large parks and
flower gardens as residence and pleas
ure resorts will be laid out in various
parts of the town."

Indoor Huntinq.

Fred heard a sudden swapping clang,
and then he saw something fly along
above his head. Fred is a dog, and
his business in life is going hunting
birds with his master. who is the
chief OF police Of Portland. Ore. Fred
saw the something above his head and
quite naturally thought that it was a
bird. So he set off to catch the bird.
He did not stop to remember that he
was in a drug store with his master
and that a drug store is no place to
go hunting in. He was thinking only
about the bird. Over counters and
displays he went, scattering behind
him all the bottles and packages that
drug stores usually have put out for
people to buy, and he ended his chase
at the cashiers cage. There the bird
had stopped. and as the drug store
proprietor and the chief of police came
running through the ruin that he had
left behind him Fred understood at
last. 1t was not a bird. 1t was only
the basket that runs on wires from
the salesman's counter to the cashier
and back again.-Chicago News.

Court Steeled to Shocks.

More or less discretion is allowed the
counsel in addressing the court. Some
times the justices, Mr.. Hughes will see,
are shocked and bear with it, and some
times they don't. One day A. e. Crane
of Kansas almost stupefed the court
by addressing these dignified person
ages as you fellows" That was once
the court remained silent.
Within the last few years an attor-
ney named Edward B. Smith was in
the courtroom. He dozed off during
the argument of his opponent. The
marshal sent a page to awaken him.
"The marshal says you cannot sleep
in the courtroom" explained the page
in justification Of his seemingly rude
demeanor.
'"Thank the marshal for me, please"
responded Mr.. Smith, land tell him he
is mistaken; ] have just had a SPLEEN
did nap here"
Few lawyers have enough courage to
address the court as did Sidney. Bart.

FEW PHONES IN EUROPE.
United States Has More Than Its
Twenty Nations,

United States Has More Than Its
Twenty Nations.
How vast the telephone business has
become may be inferred from the
statement that in thirty years one
electric company has sold SCI, OOO.O 900
worth of telephone apparatus to for
eign countries. and yet Europe, with
her twenty nations. has but one-third
as many telephones as are in use in
the United States. while in proportion
to her population Europe has only one
thirteenth as many. The United
States. with 6 per cent Of the earth
and 5 per cent of the human race. has
20 per cent of the telephones.
Germany has only as many tele-
phones as has the state Of New York
and Great Britain as many as Ohio,
while Chicago has more than London
and Boston twice as many as Paris.
Only six nations in Europe make a
fair s~howing-the Germans, British,
Swedes. Danes. N~orwegians and Swiss
the others having less than one tele.
phone per hundred. Denmark has
more telephones than has Austria,
while little Finland has a service SUI
perior in quality to that of France.

RALPH

IT he ever tried the trick he'd never
sit in a Wright machine again, no
matter whether he succeeded or not.
tombstone, a native of Kansas City
and thirty years old, had travelled all
over the United States and in many
parts of the world as a trick bicyclist
before he became ar air man. He join
ed the staff Of the Wright brothers at
Dayton on April l, having beer recon-
mended by Roy Knabenshue. His abil-
ity as a bicyclist stood him in good
stead in keeping his equilibrium in an
aeroplane. and he learned rapidly.
At the Asbury Park meet when j.
Armstrong DreXel broke the American
record for altitude, which Brookins had
made Il few weeks earlier at Atlantic
City, tombstone begged to be permit
ted to go up and take it back for the
Wrights. He had had no training in
altitude flying. and Wilbur Wright re-
fused to let him go.
Becomes a Climber.
Ordered out for a spin around the
track, tombstone headed his machine
upward and gained an altitude Of
5000 feet. He was not skillful then
in making the long spiral turns requir-
ed for climbing and kept his craft on
such an angle that the engine had con-
stantly to lift it's entire weight.
1t was at Belmont park that John
stone showed himself one of the great
est of the fiers. While he did not
capture the important speed and cross
country prizes, his feats were regarded
as the most important of the interna-
tional meet in establishing the abilities
of the a%eroplane.
His feat In flying with Hoxsey in a
wind that drove them backward ac-
complished something that all the the
orists had said was impossible be-
u no heavier than air machine
could travel backward and because
no machine could live in a wind of such
velocity as to prevent forward prog
ress. The feat among aeroplanists
ranks as n of the greatest vet ac-
complished.
On the final day, just as the fiers
were turning hangarward at evening.
tombstone went into the sunset and
winged his way for altitude and endur-
ance. For one hour and forty-hve
minutes he continued to cruise across
the sky and then slid down out of the
heavens with a Paragraph showing an
altitude of 9.714 feet. 1t was a worlds
record, but was under the 10000 foot
mark that Wilbur Wright wanted to
see him make.

The CHILDREN
How to See Sun Spots.

We are indebted to accident for
many a useful discovery. and a Mas
sachusetts gentleman has now by
chance found out something which. If
not valuable. is at least interesting.
What be found is that it is quite pos
sible to see the larger spots that ap-
pear on the suns surface without glass
or lens Of any kind.
1t has long been known that when
these objects attain unusual dimen-
sions they can be glimpsed by direct
vision through smoked glass, similar to
the appliances used to view solar
eclipses. But that SUI spots can be
seen without the assistance of this sort
is something new
The shutters of the observers house
happened to be closed. and through a
tiny hole near the top of them Il beam
Of sunlight found it's way to the floor.
There it left ar image, clear and
round. tinged at the circumference
with a fringe of blue and orange. The
whole appearance of the beam as pro-
jected reminded the spectator cf the
image OF the sun taken on paper
through a telescope. and he at once got
a sheet Of white note paper in order to
test his surmise.
The result confirmed it A beautiful
round image Of the sun fell on the pa
per. and near the center thereof could
be seen a blush spot which moved
about with the image whenever the pa
per was shifted.
The blush colored object was a ver-

scribed for several days until the rev.
olution of the sun had carried it out of
sight.

Elastic Spider Nah

The common garden spider. sometimes
called the geometric spider. makes a
beautiful radiated net which shows
great skill in the way it is placed, in
its strong framework made Of strong
threads or ropes and its net spun be.
tween them. The threads r elastic.
so that they yield to the wind even
when the web is tightly drawn. When
the wind is more than ordinarily yio-
lent. so that the net is dangerously
stretched. the spider hangs pieces of
wood or stone or other substances to
the web to. steady it.
The web is nearly circular and is
composed of a number Of straight lines
radiating from a common center and
having a spiral line wound regularly
upon them. The radiating lines are
smooth and not elastic. whereas the
spiral line is tricky studded with mi
mute knobs and is elastic. The little
knobs are made Of a sticky substance
which holds insect wings and legs.

brethren Of the bench. Justice Har.
Ian and the late Justice Peckham took
u their political wrath on each other,
the former being a Republican and
the latter a Democrat.
How we'll the justices understand each
other is shown by an incident which
occurred one day after court had ad-
journed. Justice Harlan, who was and
is yet & big man in the Presbyterian
church, was asking to be excused from
court the next day that he might at
tend Il Presbyterian conference. "a JUS
tice Peckham expressed his wonder
that Justice Harlan should be afraid
to die, as he was such a devoted Pres
byterian.
81 wouldn't be afraid the Kentuck-
ian responded, 'if l were sure that in
the next world | would not turn up at
Democratic headquarters"
Whiskers In Danger.
And the farfamed whiskers! If the
new justice is not on his guard custom
will cut off that adornment. Boards
are not looked upon with favor by the
supreme court as it is now organized,
nor are muStaches. Custom, to be
sure. is not so ironclad in this regard
as in some others.
For instance. Justice McKenna has
held his seat on the bench thirteen
years with something like a beard. 1t
must be said, however. that it is at an
irreducible minimum. Chief Justice
Fuller could have told the new Justice
how difficult it was to brave custom in
this particular. When he was appoint
ed chief justice it was suggested re-
peatedly in tire press that it was not
digniied for Il chief justice to wear
hair on his upper lip.
THAT may be-" said he TO one of his
friends. "but it cannot be helped"
He chung to that mustache to his dy-
ing day. Much AS he loved dignity. he
loved his muStache more.
Justice Brewer had an entirely diff
ferent record. He came to the bench
with a long beard. much longer and
more whiskery than the one worn by
Governor Hughes. Off it came within
a year, a sacrifice to custom. Justice
Moody has cut off his mustache since
he came to the bench in 1906.
So it is that rock ribbed and ancient
customs still confront the new justice.
He is sure to create quite a stir on the
bench Of the supreme court of the
United States if he upsets any of them.
