will probably be granted them by Of

The hanson cab Is rapidly disap-
pearing from the streets of London. 1t
cannot compete with the taxicab.
The hanson cabman is bewailing his
fate, or else learning to drive a taxi
cab. The hanson cabman report that
this summer they would have earned
little save for the fact that American
women used the hanson for shopping.
The hanson charge is so cents an
hour, while the taxicab is 16 cents a
mile. The working time for taxis
averages about SLIPS an hour, which
makes the hanson cheaper vehicle
for shopping. 1t is predicted that the
hanson will completely have disap-
peared from the streets within an
other year.
Hunting elephants for their ivory is
profitable business. John Boyes,
noted African hunter and explorer,
who gave Col. Roosevelt the tip where
! to find the white rhinocerous. has re-
turned to London after eight years in
Africa. In the Congo in that period
he obtained ivory worth $4,000. For
a tribe called the Kakerus and COM
mander of their army of 5000 When
the British government learned that
he was king he had to leave the tribe.
"Chantelor" may have its nose put
out of joint by the play which Signor
Gabrielle d'Annunzio threatens to
write. Instead Of barnyard drama
the poet means to have a deep sea
tragedy, with mermaids and tritons
and fishes that swim In the depths OF
the ocean. Crabs, Holsters, starfish.
octopi and whales may be leading
characters. At any rate D'Annunzio
is full of his idea and means to get
work on 1t at once. Mr.. Charles Froh-
Imam has already made arrangements

will have the. sole American rights OF

Stables are going up in price, which
will be sad news to women of fashion,
since it has been decreed that furs
must be worn to great extent during
the coming winter. The British Con-
sui in St. Petersburg, Mr.. Grove, re-
ports that all fur bearing animals, es'
pecially sables, are becoming fewer
each year. Hunters give it as their
opinion, he explains that this decrease
is due to the fact that the growth oil
the timber trade has brought more
workmen to the north and the sable
has moved into more remote districts
In some districts the sable has already
disappeared entirely. 1t appears thai
sables are caught in large numbers
in autumn and spring, when the AMI
mails are moulting and the females are
with young. This system, or want o.
system is at once useless and ruinous
and in view of this the imperial Gov
eminent is to be approached on the
subject of instituting close time FOL
fur bearing animals in general.

Novels as Serials.

Book buyers and collectors OF first
editions will be interested in the re-
viyal of the practice of issuing novels
in monthly parts. Fifty or sixty years
ago the practice was common enough;
most of the popular works of the
early Victorian novelists were so pub
lished and the appearance of install
ments of Thackeray in yellow and Of
Dickens in green was eagerly looked
forward to by hundreds of thousands
of readers. If story really arouses
public interest. this method of publ
cation is very profitable to the author
and the publisher, but it is by no
means certain that the production Of
any living writer will rival the pop
ularity of any of the classic novelists.
Perhaps the only author likely to
achieve success in monthly guise is
William, #. de Morgan. whose style
approximates that OF the early Victo
rian writer's New York Sun.

are that it is very durable and that
it has no cracks or corners where
dirt may lodge.
The device is made of one piece of
metal bent around rod which forms
sides, top and legs. The scrub sur
faces are formed by raising the metal
in series of corrugations, as shown
in the illustration. Being all one
piece of metal it will be readily I'M
derstood that the durability of such
a board would be great. There is
nothing to be loosened or torn up,
and the chances are that the utensil
will last longer than the lifetime of
those who use it. Another advantage
of this metal washboard is the alb
sence of rough corners or sharp
edges, such as sometimes occur on
the old-style boards, and on which it
is easy to tear d garment if the great
est care is not exercised in rubbing
over them. Post.

This passage is from Mr.. Spencer's
First Principles" 1.-The conscious
ness of an Inscrutable Power, mani
tested to us through all phenomena,
has been growing ever clearer, and
must ultimately be freed from its
imperfections. The certainty that on
the one hand such power exists,
while OF the other hand its nature
transcends intuition and is beyond
imagination, is the certainty toward
which intelligence has from the first
been progressing. To this conclusion
science inevitably arrives as it reaches
its confines; while to this conclusion
religion is irresistibly driven by criti-
cism."

Now they have found tribe of
9igmies, described as averaging fifty

the New York Mail. Herodotus heard
Of them near the Nile sources, but

them in the equatorial forests of

Africa before his day. They persist
In the Philippines, and now they are
noted in Papua. A shy people they
are everywhere, hiding in the depths

something to do with their stunted
stature. Doubtless there are other
groups of them yet to be discovered
by the explorer.

The Smithsonian Institution has
published the photography of Aero
nautics." Nearly one thousand pages
are required to present the 1850
references which have been arranged
alphabetically by authors, subjects
and titles covering the subject down
to July, 1909. Paul Brockett, the as
sistant librarian of the institution, is
the compiler of this valuable contri-
button to science, and in this intro
duction he pleasantly reviews the long
association of the institution with
aeronautics, pointing out that as
early as 1861 assistance was solicited
for carrying out experiments to cross
the Atlantic by means of a balloon.
