MYTHS.

ESOpiS are 50 SoiHIltuteu that IhSy
cannot be happy unless they have a
popular myth to fiji their minds with
extraordinary images.
Twenty years ago there was an cpl
demic Of myths bearing on the subject
Of flying machines. From the great
lakes to the Mexican border flying
machines were reported as floating
through space. No man knew the
starting or the finishing point of these
aerial crafts-which, incidentally, were
always seen at night-when their
searchlights could be referred to in
picturesque terms. A Texas sheriff in
one Of the southwestern counties was
interviewed by The New York World,
and declared that John d. Rockefeller
who was under indictment in Texas
had alighted in a flying machine five
miles from Eagle Pass, on his way to
Mexico.
There has been the myth of the sea
serpent, which makes it's annual ap-
pearance-yet the sea serpent never
has been seen. Any hamlet which
possesses a sailor man is always in
order when it sends to the world-in
the early days Of spring-a story to the
effect that sea serpent has been seen.
The stories have been infinitely varied,
but in essence they are always the
same.
There have been myths OF prehistoric
footprints on rocks-myths Of enor-
nous skeletons unearthed. A familiar
myth has to do with the live frog found
imprisoned in a rock-after remaining
captive since the stone age.
All these things have taken the place
in the modern world, of the earlier
myths of birds with women's faces
horses with mems heads-trees with
voices-mermaids-s jokes
in musical comedy and the vaudeville
stage.

Sunday last being the first one in

The st. Paul road is trying out
some new freight engines which far
surpass anything the road has owned
before. One day last week a train of
l22 cars, weighing with contents, $3.50
tons, made trip over the WATERFOWL
division from Milwaukee to Portage.
The new engines are 100 feet long and
weigh over 800 tons. A big load for
the engines of the old type was ], 800
tons. On these first runs there is what
is called dynometer car attached Just
behind the engine and in this are in
struments which record to fraction of
a pound the amount of tonnage hauled
and other valuable facts about the
working of the engine.
An exchange tells the position of a
country newspaper in the following
terse manner: No, dear reader, we do
not run the subscription end of our bus
mess. Uncle Sam, through certain
employees in the postal department,
does it for us We used to think we
could manage this end of our business
with at least a degree of satisfaction
to ourselves and our patrons, but Uncle
Sam thinks otherwise, so he tells us
that we cannot send the paper to you
unless there is less than a years sub
scription due. But, you say, you al
ways paid with reasonable promptness
and to our satisfaction So you did,
and if it rested with us we should be
glad to use our own judgement in the
matter. However, since Uncle Sam
has declared that newspaper publishers
are not competent to run the subserip-
ton end of their business, the publish
ers will have to appeal to patrons and
asks them to place the blame where it
belongs.
