Saved STORAGE CHARGES.

Young men with meager salaries

young sprig Of boarding house gentil-

new quarters upon his return from a
two months trip on the road:
"What are you going to do with all
this personal truck that is cluttering
up your room? 1t will cost you any
how a dollar a month for storage"

JUMPING Cocoons.

Many visitors to the southwestern
states and Mexico have amused them
selves by watching the queer motions
of jumping BEANS" the seed vessels
of a plant, each of which contain the
pupa of an insect whose spasmodic
movements cause the bean to hop and
roll about.
More remarkable are the dumping
cocoons" found in South Africa. The
cocoon Is formed by the mother in
sect and is very hard. The pupa when
ready to emerge must cut its way out.
The front Of its head has a sharp.
chisel-like edge, and by driving this
against the inside Of the shell 1t grad
ually makes a hole. The violent mo-
tons of the pupa within cause the CO.
coon to leap so that one has been seen
to spring out of a small glass tumbler.

Extremes of Temperature.

Science reasons that the lowest tenn
peratures at the earth's surface are
not found directly at the poles, but at
some distance to the south of the
north pole and to the north of the
south pole. Likewise the greatest de-
gree Of heat is not. as might be sup
posed, to be found at the equator, but
prevails at some distance to the north
and to the south Of that imaginary
line. The coolest place on the earths
surface Of which there is authentic
record Is In Siberia. The lowest tenn
perature ever recorded in, the open air
was 90 degrees below zero b. at Wer-
chajansk, central Siberia, on Jan. IS,
1885. The highest temperature OF
which there is an authentic record is
124 degrees above zero F. In Algeria,
northern Africa, on July IT, 1879.
These places Of extreme heat and ex-
IRENE cold give a range Of tempera-
ture covering the whole inhabited
world Of 214 degrees, or two degrees
more than from zero to the boiling
point. :" "f

CheckmateI

In these days, when various schemes
are being suggested by which the loser
Of personal property may recover 1t
without offering an extreme reward, It
is interesting to note two advertise
ments which appeared last summer in
q German paper. In these advertise
ments nothing so bald as a suggestion
of reward appeared. They seem mere
ly to present two wits fencing, and the
reader forgets the matter at stake:
Berlin, Aug. 5.-The gentleman who
found a purse, valuable beyond ex-
PLANTATION, in the Blumenstrasse, Is re-
quested graciously to forward it to the

A joyful shout thoughtlessly given
by an Italian smuggler on having

Lawyers on a Strike.

Over 300 years ago one of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris, when all the lawyers
walked out. so to speak. A law or
ordonnance was issued and promul-
gated by the French king Henry Ill.
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services. This was done so that
the lawyers could be properly and
sufficiently taxed on their income.
The lawyers objected. and the strike.
causing an entire stay Of judicial pro-
ceedings, followed. Peace was restor-
ed by the nonenforcement Of the or
dominance, though it was not repealed.

ACTORS MATINEE
At AUTO SHOW
Special Afternoon Set Aside for
Leading Broadway
F~avOriteS.

An innovation at the twelfth national
automobile show in Madison Square Gar
den, January 6 to 90, will be a "theatri-
cal matinee" Each year many actors and
actresses visit the motor car exhibit dur
ing the week, and inasmuch as so many
prominent players are motorists nova
days, and really interested in cars, the
show committee has decided to set aside
a special afternoon for them. Invitations
will be extended to numerous well-know1
players for Monday, January S. 1t is be-
lieved by the management that this will
make the show doubly attractive to the
drama folk, as in this way they will be
at the new models with their brother
actors. The affair will have much OF
the thespic social atmosphere of a PRO
fessional matinee at a Broadway the
atre.
This does not mean that the afternoon
will be a chorus girls picnic or conclave
of k~nockabout burlesque comedians. 1t
will be strictly an invitation affair. The
guests of the management will be a GER
tain number of high-elass legitimate ac-
tors and actresses and they will enjoy
a decidedly high-class display of cars.
1t will also be their last opportunity to
see any sort of a show in historic Mad
ison Square Garden.
Among those to whom invitations have
been sent are David Warield. William
Collier, Mary Mannering, Raymond Hitch
cock. Nine. Nazinlova, George Arliss, VIII
ton Lackeye, George M. Cohan. Elsie
Janis. Margaret Ellington, Kitty Gordon,
Ethel Barrymore, William H. Crane, Helen
Ware, Elsie Ferguson. John Finlay, Cliff
ton Crawford, Edmund Breese. Bessie
Mccoy and others.

FACTORS IN AUTO COMFORT.

How many things enter into making a
motorcar easy-riding, how much ingenuity
has been spent in refining this quality,
few of even experienced automobile
owners and drivers realize. OF course,
good upholstery Is essential; so are good
springs. The little details of construction
which among them help to take uD road
shockS vibration n the strain of sudden
changes in speed or unexpected turns are
less conspicuous, yet it is they that make
real comfort.
The marvellous rapidity of the develop
ment of the motorcar In this country is
due in no small measure to the spirit III
which j. Frank Duryea, the builder OF
the first successful American gasoline
automobile. went about his work. Duryea
is an inventor, not a discoverer. He made
up his mind, to start with, as to what
constituted the highest degree of enjoy
ment in motoring, and then kept that
standard before him in designing every
detail. The same principle has been APP
piled to each step in the creation of the
present highly perfected Stevens-Duryea
from the original "Duryea Wagon"-the
pioneer American "horseless carriage
which was a buggy with high, slender
wheels propelled by an engine set under
the body.
A good lubrieating system, the use OF
hall bearings instead Of fiat bearings, n
generous wheel base that avoids some OF
the jolt of rough going and such things
are obvious necessities. But smooth
mechanical performance and protection
against the jar caused by the naturally
rigid action of machinery of any kind
are equally necessary. not only for physi-
cal ease. but for the mental ease given
10y a sense of security ana for the long
life OF the ear. When Duryea brought out
the six-cylinder engine, with its long
stroke and steady action, he was laughed
at by other builders, just as he had been
when he brought out the ~four-cylinder
engine in the ~two-cylinder days. But
since then six cylinders ave become the
standard for fine cars.
DURYEA'S idea of putting the whole
mower plant into one closely connected
piece OF mechanism instead of having
several distinct parts, with a consequent
loss of stability (and, incidentally, power,
which has become known as the unit
power-plant'' idea. was also scoffed at
when he first applied it. Now 1t has been
taken up by others, The same is true OF
the method of attaching the engine to the
frame of the car at only three points, SO
that. however the wheels may be lifted
out of line by road obstacles or the posi-
tion of the front of the ear twisted, the
alignment of the shaft that transmits the
power to the rear wheels shall not be
disturbed.

JUDGING HORSEPOWER
BY STRENGTH

Speaking of the late races at Savannah
and the large horsepower Of some of the
big foreign cars, Charles f. Splitdorf, head
of the house of Splitdorf, said: 1.-THE aver
age man is very apt to speak glibly of so
many hundred horsepower without any
real appreciation of what it really means.
Calculating that the strength of twelve
men Is equal to one horsepower it would
require l,2O men to produce as much
energy as one of the big foreign racing
cars at Savannah had, but they cannoi
keep it up, and IL those men We're to WORK
on the two-hour shift plan for an eight
hour system it would require as manv
more and perhaps quadruple the nunIbe,.
TO Keep the same amount of energy qoine
for the number of miles that it took "a
run the entire distance of the Grand priv
race. So about the same number Of mon
in the average American regiment in The
United States army would about sufice ~
equal the horsepower of some of onr hfg
racing cars for a couple Of honrs.H -
