THE AUTOMOBILE AND

The special literature of AUTOMOBILE

very meager and imperfect. and 1t is
still necessary to render mscellane-
Gus descriptions Of cases in order To
come upon the favorable or unfavora-

of locomotion on diseases. There is
nothing specific about the motion of
automObiling. for il is merely a mat

as occur i'm railway trains and if au-
tomobile journeys appear To produce
certain effects il is quite safe to as
sumo that railway travel will be fol-

SUBMARINES NOT INVULNER-

The British naval authorities at

the effect of high explosive shells
fired by a war ship at a submerged
submarine. For this purpose II was

vessel that sank with her entire crew

176 postoffices open in China; in 1910
there were 1852. In 1901 the mails
carried but 1O.500,O00 letters and

risen TO 335, 100000. Every branch has
grown in the same proportion. and the
future promises to make the postal
business of the past ten years seem
meager indeed. The postage rates are
the cheapest in the world. and the
people are enthusiastic over the IA

what few cents he had in robbing
himself of what few senses he had.

course of il. he wandered into the

steward in conversation, during which
the latter had the occasion TO step out
To get Il piece of money changed.
When he went TO the drawer to make
the entry of il, he noticed that the
bag i'm which he keeps the bulk of
the money i'm the drawer had been
turned over and it seemed To him
that some of the money was gone He
asked Smith who had been in while
he was gone. and Smith replied no
one. Then he asked him who had
been touching the money sack. and
Smith still said no one.
BY that time. one word having led
on to another Smith was inviting
Williams to send for the police-send

Williams did so. But before they
could reach there, Smiths nerve be-

the door as if about to depart. But
Williams. anxious both to detain him
and to locate the money, which he
felt sure he had about him. grabbed
him and held him and began to feel

that he found the money in a hip
pocket: but as Smith is much
stronger man than Williams. he sue

fence in jumping gait. holding onto

The COlumbia-"The Travelling
Salean0n

James Forbes fOur-act comedy THE
Travelling Salesman comes to the Co
lumbia Theater this week. In this play
the author has provided Frank J. Nc
Intyre, the travelling salesman. with
vehicle just suited to his style of acting.
As Bob Blake, the jolly drummer. whose
speciality is ladies' apparel, Mcintyre is
said to conform in every particular to
the popular conception of a travelling
salesman. In the leading feminine role
is Miss Gertrude Coghlan. the talented
daughter of Charles Coghlan and a favor
lite actress among Southern theatergoers.
The play opens on Christmas Day at
Grand Crossing, small town, which
exists only by virtue Of the fact that two
railroads intersect at that point Blake
is one of number of statesmen who
flnd themselves stranded and far from
home and friends on the glad yuletide.

Immediately becomes interested in the

is about to be sold for taxes she is
unable to pay. Royce. pretended ad-
mirer of the girl and friend of Martin
blury. BlakeS employer, learns tndt the
railroad is going to buy in the land and
schemes to get possession of it. He
gives the story away during a poker
game, but Blake blocks the game by
paying the taxes. Royce den0unces him
to the girl, who believes he has tried to
defraud her. but later, when complica-
tiCns are unraveled and she becomes cog
infant of the true state of affairs, she
takes unto herself husband, his sigma
ture being necessary for the transfer of
the property in order to make the deed
valid. She marries Blake, and thereby
foiis her real enemies. The comedy of
the play is of the most delicious char
acter. and in 1t Mcintyre has scored a
great personal hit. In the cast are Sarah
McVicker, Mike Jordan. James O'Neill,
