EARLY Work in France.
In 1863 Nicholas Joseph Cugnot,
with state funds placed at his disposal
by the Due de Choiseul, constructed
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 its 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 a 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

The prevalence Of perjury in court
has been discussed by many lawyers
and judges, and various safeguards Of
a legal character have been advocat-
ed. Now a contributor to the Green
Bag raises the more general question
whether lying is increasing in our
society and in the civilized, Industrial
strenuous world at large. 1t is true
as the New York Evening Post OBJ
serves, that the increasing Complexi-
ties Of life make lying safer" and the
discovery of the truth more and more
difficult. The simpler the conditions
and habits Of people the easier it is
10 find the liar out and discredit him.
But it must be admitted that COM
plex civilization, while it increases the
opportunities of sophists, casuists,
shutters and plain liars, also multi
plies the agencies for propagating
truth and opposing lying. Education
makes men and women more intelli-
gent and therefore less gullible. In
dustry and commerce, the wonderful
credit system, the Importance Of con
tract, the need Of efficiency and re-
sponsibility in business, the rising
standards Of professional life, the
fierce light of the modern press, the
rapidity Of commUnication-the and
other things make for truthfulness in
human relations. We do not believe
that lying is on the increase or that
character is deteriorating. Humanity
isgascending, not descending, morally
and intellectually, and moral advance
is Of course measured by the degree
Of spontaneous virtue and sincerity
possessed by the average man.

LincoIn's Favorite Poem.

According to those who knew him
most intimately, Mr.. Lincoln was never
again the same man after the death Of
Ann Rutledge, the best beloved Of
his early manhood. lie had always
been subject to attacks of mental de-
preston, but after her death they be-
came more frequent and alarming. 1t
was about that time that he came
across some verses i'll the Poets Cor
ner' of a rural newspaper which made
a strong impression on him. This was
the poem beginning "Oh, why should
the spirit of mortal be proud!" None
who ever heard him repeat these Won
derfully plaintive yet curiously empty
lines in after life realized that they
served to keep in his memory a grief
which remained with perpetual in
sistence in his heart, to which he could
not with becoming delicacy allude di-
rectly, but there is little doubt that
Lincoln never recovered wholly from
the loss of his youthful tiancee.
For many months after the passing
of this beautiful young woman Lin
coin was utterly disconsolate and
made no secret of the fact. 1t was
then that these ultra somber lines
seemed to furnish him with a vehicle
by means of which he might give eX-
preston to some of the sadness of
soul which overShadOwed him. In the
words of one who knew him at the
time: "He was heard to murmur them
to himself as he slipped into the vii
lage at nightfall after an evening visit
to the cemetery, and he would sudden
ly break out with them in little social
assemblies after periods of silent
gloom. They seemed to come unbid-
den to his lips"
That poem is now Lincoln's very
own. The name Of the obscure poet Is
lost to posterity, but his unpretentious
work is associated imperishably with
the memory of one of the worlds
greatest men and interviewer with the
history of his supreme sorrow.
