TROLLEY POLE

Have you ever noticed trolley
poles go bouncing along under the
wires, cutting great flashes In
the darkness? Sure you have.
Ever occur to you that these
flashes cost money to the rail-
road company because of electric
waste?
Chas. Bradford, who lives at
1884 South Sheridan street Ia
coma, was recently issued a pat
emit on a new. trolley pole which
Is being tried out by Chicago
street railway company. Reports
show that the new pole has trav-
eled 390s miles without flying
off the wire.
III, as Mr.. Bradford says, the
pole would be a financial saving
to those who pay for the electric
ity. doubtless It will meet with
favor. But the general public
which reaches the supper table
from 10 minutes to q half hour
late because OF bouncing troileys
would declare Mr.. Bradford good
and great II his device is put in

Some Queer Shoes of our Day

The most ridiculous shoe of
the day is that worn by the high
class Chinese women. 1t would
make quite as suitable fireless
cooker as shoe. Figure 1 shows
a sample shoe, which is about
four inches long and made of
silk and embroidery. Next, or
somewhere near the top of the
black list comes a typical ladies'
shoe of America. Gig. % Just
look at it! Several hundred years
hence the historians will be par
doned, don't you think, If they
draw a close relationship between
the Chinese and American ladies
because of the similarity of their
shoes? On the other foot, the
Chinese men wear an artistic and
comfortable looking shoe, which
appears quite superior to the
American. Gig. 3D.
There are other queer shoes.
The F'ilipinos go to dance on a
shoe held to the foot by an en-
broidered velvet tip over the toe,

and, as precarious as it appears,
this shoe is seldom lost off the
foot. Gig. A. The Indian mecca
sin is very comfortable and often
very pretty, but does not keep out
the wet, yet it does beautifully for
Arizona and Mexico.
The lower class in India wear
a flat wooden block with a large
knob that slips between the big
toe and the second toe. A strik-
ing effect is obtained by the
queens guards in Athens, who en-
phasize the upturned toes of their
soft red leather shoes by placing
a huge pompon on the very tip.

The guard of the tower of Lon
don wears the same uniform that
1t wore in the time of Henry VIII
and the shoe is quite fantastic,
somewhat resembling a woman's
bedroom slipper with a big ro-
settle upon it. In Holland Gig.

and in Russia the high boot keeps
