Natural Inclination.

A cautious German, who keeps a
pawnbroker's shop in Sydney, is in the
habit of leaving his daughter in charge
while he attends sales to pick up bar
gains. A Chinaman entered the store
the other day to buy watch. The
girl placed four on the counter, and,
while her back was turned, John
changed the places Of the highest and
lowest priced watches. He then said
he would take the cheapest one, for
which he paid and departed. It was
not until he was clear away that she
discovered the fraud, about which, on
her fathers return, she told him with
many tears. Never mind, never mind,

It is not only the Russian Court
Journal which has a circuitous way
Of referring to the car. Even in con-
versation Russians never call a car
a car. It is not incorrect to use the
terms car. czaritza and czarevitch,
but in practice they are heard only
in the Liturgy Of the Orthodox church
and sometimes from the lips of people
Of revolutionary views. In ordinary
conversation the car is called Gosu-
dor, a word which means Lord or Sir
In the Court Circular it is the prac-
tice to term the Sovereign Gosudar
Imperator, the Lord Emperor. No
body ever speaks Of the czaritsa; she
is always Gosudarinya, the Lady or
Gosudarinya Imperatritza, the Lady
Empress.

Australia claims to have the tallest
tree IN the world. It has long been
thought that to California belongs
this distinction, but while California
trees are of gigantic dimensions they
do not come up to Australia's euca-
lyptus trees. The tallest tree in Cali
fornia yet discovered was found by
actual measurement to be $40 feet
high. Australia's record tree can beat
this by 40 feet. Baron Mueller tfor-

flights in Washington, ID. c. last March,
in demonstrating an aeroplane sold to the
United States government for the war de.
partment. He flew around Washington
monument. over the city. and landed near
the White House. His flights were watch.
ed by all the distinguished officials OF the
government, as well as foreign embassa.
doris and military attaches. The aerial
evolutions on these flights brought Mr..
McCurdy prominently before the repre-
sentatives of foreign governments as am
expert aviator, and he was warmly con.
graduated by many of those officials. In
Havana Cuba, Mr.. Met urdy won the prize
Of $1,000 for the fight around Moro

over-city flights, and one OF his familiar
and spectacular stunts has been the racing

Mr. McCurdy is associated with Charles

two types OF machines, the McCurdy aero.
plane and the Willard aeroplane, both
biplanes, but differing radically from the
amiliar types of bipanes which have been
shown in every part Of the United States
These machines are all equipped with the

ion and speed, as well as altitude.
