A West Indian Wife Catcher.

As is customary with Indians the
world over, the Caribs are expert
basket weavers, and many strong and
handsome baskets are to be bought IN
Roseau at reasonable prices if one
finds the right shops, writes Harriet
Quimby in Leslie's Weekly, a pecul'
lar instrument, made Of basket straw
and woven closely together so as to
form a hollow tube ending in a thong
Of twisted ends and commonly dubbed
a wife catcher, is also made and sold
by the Caribs. By slipping the hollow
end over n mans finger above the
Joint and pulling on the twisted end
the catcher will tighten around the
finger and the captive will be unable
to release his hand. 1t is claimed that
the Indians formerly employed this
device as a handcuff for prisoners,
using several for each hand and lead
ing the captives by the fingers. Few
tourists are permitted to leave Roseau
without q wife catcher, for which six
pence is willingly exchanged.

An Oblioina President.

During q short lived revolution, says
Harper's Weekly, there came to be
the head Of the government in a little
Central American republic a man who
was above all things courteous anu
who was, moreover, very anxious TO
gain the good will Of the foreign con-
suls. One of the latter. having heard
that a certain countryman of his had
died. addressed a note to the head OF
the new government, in which he stat
ed that his own government would be
grateful for a certificate Of death OF
the individual in question. A few
DAYS later the consul received this
communication:
Esteemed Senor-I blush to say that l
cannot at present comply with your ex-
ceIlency's request for a death certfcate
of the man named. I sent my soldiers,
but he got away, to my shame. snail
use every effort to catch him, however
and hope to send your excellency the de-
sired certificate at an early date.
Needless to say, the consul lost no
time In communicating to the obliging
president the information that the GER
tificate was undesired In view OF the
fact that the Individual was able to
"get away"

Babies, Bank Accounts.

In Schoenberg, suburb Of Berlin,
every baby is born with banking ac'
count. No Schoenberg baby can help
this even if it wants to. The munich
pal regulations provide that whenever
the birth of a child is recorded the
officials of the municipal savings bank
shall issue a bank book in the said
baby's name. The city itself then de-
posits / mark about 20 cents and
Immediately allows interest. With
this nest egg the authorities believe
that the parents Of the child will be
encouraged in thrift and that the baby
itself will have fair start on the
road to wealth. No Withdrawals are
allowed in less than two years, and
the ordinance applies to all children,
whether they are members of poor
families or descended from million
aires.
Babies are popular in Schoenberg.

An Ancient Sky Pilot.

From Garnett's anthology" volume
Z, page As, copy the following, taken
from the Writings of Lucian,"
Greek born about 100 A. D.:
"We were suddenly caught by
whirlwind. which turned our vessel
several times around in a circle with
tremendous velocity and lifted 1t
above 5000 stadia In the air, not set
Ting it down again on the sea, but
kept it suspended above the water at
that height and carried US on, with
swelled sails, above the Clouds"
In these days Of air conquest this
quotation might be Of utmost interest
to aeronauts and also literary men.
This ancient CULVER long preceded
Swift, and as for outdistancing Jules
Verne another quotation is added:
Having thus continued our course
through the sky for a space of seven
days and as many nights, on the eighth
day we described a sort Of earth In the
air" etc. (Which proved to be the
noon.
The thoroughly familiar. vernacular
expression going some" Spplies with
original vigor to this early and per-
haps first sky pilot.-New York Times.

INvEMTS AN AUTO SLEIGH
Former South DakOtan Invents
New and Ingenious Device
for Winter Accommodating

The following concerning a forme
resident Of Webster is taken from
Moline, ILL.,, paper:
"Sleigh riding in an automobile. Tha'
is the unusual but enjoyable pastime o.
C. H. Smith, inventor and mechanical
genius Of Rockford, Ill.,, who is in Moline
comforting with the Velie Motor Vehicle
company regarding his Smith Improved
Starter a device which eliminates
cranking and which may be purchased
by the Velie company.
Mr.. Smith manufactured the automo-
bile in which he goes sleigh-rididg him
self. He made the engine, shaped the
body and thought out the sleigh idea.
But one-third the usual amount of
power is necessary to run the machine
because of the runner arrangement. In
explaining the invention Mr.. Smith
tells of its construction in the following
manner:
Take off the tires from the two
front wheels; make two unner of
channel iron, by which / mean iron with
a groove in the middle. Then run :
bolt through the hole in the auto rim
through which the valve tube goes,
through the n and then place two
wedges, n in the front and one in the
rear of the wheel 80 as to keep it from
revolving. Then run a 3-8 rod from the
top of the front end of the runner to
the rear of the runner over the rim of
the auto. Fasten the rod onto the rear
of the runner with a nut, and there you
have it."
Mr.. Smith explains that the runners,
when made out of channel iron, do not
make steering difficult. Chains are nee
essary on the ear wheels. Mr.. Smith
has had much enjoyment this winter
out of this device and expects to place
the on the market some day.
His new starter, which is the inven-
ton which brought him to Moline, will
save the autoist from leaving the
mdchine to crank it. 1t is now being
tried out on a Velie machine and will be
purchased next week if found satisfac-
tory. The starter works from the seat
by levers. By pulling a lever past a
certain point, the spark is brought in
contact with the gasoline and the explo-
sion is caused. The starter is now on
the market and is meeting with great
success. If purchased by the Velie
company it will be placed on each
machine.
Mr.. Smith has been an inventor fol
years. He makes his living by invent
ing things and placing them on the
market. He is the father of many
ingenious inventions for autos and rail.
roads. He is the inventor of the latest
type folding baby go-cart. He has
made thousands of dollars by his inven.
tons and owns much property in Rock
ford. He is now stopping at the Manu-.
facturers and will remain here during
the test of his starter by the Velit
company.
