RODE MOTORCYCLE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
Davis Mads Trip From San Francisco
to New York In Twenty Days.

After twenty days of hard riding OH
a motorcycle, Volney Il. Davis, captain
of the San Francisco Motorcycle club.
reached New York, beating the record
for the transcontinental journey by
several days. He will start the return
trip after months rest here.
Davis actual time was twenty days
nine hours and one minute, allowing
for the three hours difference in time
between the coasts About ten hours
q day or 200 hours in all were spent
in the saddle of his seven horsepower
motorcycle. He lost eleven pounds and
had many falls. He has a bruised leg,
sprained shoulder and many small
cuts.
Davis biggest days run was between
North Bend, Neb., and Grinnell, Ia,
289 miles; the shortest was from Gran
ger to Rock Springs, Wyo., only forty
nine miles. He Travelled 3,745 miles,
but figured that more than 100 miles
of that was wasted through losing his
way and having to retrace his road.
Davis first difficulty was in getting
through the snow in crossing the Sier-
ra Nevada on his way to Reno. But
he had much greater trouble afterward
with mud and sand, rocky roads and
steep grades. A mountain lion in the
wilds Of Wyoming fed from the
strange being that sped across its
track, but not so the mosquitoes of
Nevada. They pursued him relentless
ly until he spurted away.
'1f told you the size of those mos
quitoes," said Davis, "you wouldn't be-
lieve any part of my story. positive
ly believe that if an accident had put
me at their mercy I'd have died from
their attacks
Davis route carried him through
Reno, Ogden, Salt Lake City, Chey-
enne, Omaha, Des Moines, Chicago,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester and AL
bany, but he made no stops in these
cities except for minor repairs or for
gasoline, as he had bet he would make
the trip in twenty-five days.
His mysterious accident occurred
near Grinell, Ia. He was thrown from
his machine when descending a steep
grade. He knew nothing more until
stranger shook him by the shoulder
Not dead YETI" said the stranger re-
assuringly. How long have you been
here?"
Just few minutes" said Davis.
ITS two hours since a woman drove
by here and saw you lying, looking
dead" said the farmer. "She drove tc
my place and told me-
Davis carried no unnecessary weight
in clothes, buying what was needed
along the route. A tin of beans an6
a canteen of water made up his emer
gency commissariat.

Son of Secretary of Treasury Gets Too
Many Love Letters.
AS a result Of recent newspaper
interview, in which he declared he
wished he were married, Eames Mac
Veagh, son of the secretary of the
treasury and Chicago's richest and
most eligible bachelor, is being over
whelmed with impassioned love let
ters from young women who ask him
to marry them.
MacVeagh, who is forty and past
the romantic age, is frantic. The love
notes cumber his business mail, food
his Lake Shore drive mansion and
clutter up his mail box at the Univer,

French Matches,

What is the explanation Of the
French match? Well, on every box
there is printed the legend. ''Manufac-
lures of State; Contributions Indirect
While you are struggling with the
French match you are paying taxes.
I do not know the exact amount of
the revenue raised by the French
match, but a French friend assures
me that the atrocious badness of
French matches is due to the determi-
nation Of the government to compel
smokers to use ten matches instead of
one. There was once a contractor who
secured the contract for making the
state matches. He was a conscien-
t1ous contractor. He made good
matches. He made matches that
struck on the box. In consequence
the revenue fell off. The government
was enraged. They warned the con-
tractor that his contract would be can
celed unless he forthwith lowered the
quality Of his matches. According to
my friend. the object Of the contractor
now is to make matches so vile that
the whole population Of France is
forced to spend half it's time trying to
make them burn.-London Opinion.

most everywhere, s'is Bear lake, in the
western corner Of New York. 1t lies
high among the hills Of Chautauqua
county, near the Pennsylvania line. 1t
has no inlet and no visible outlet. A
regularity Of Bear lake is that it has
no shadows. There is no gradual slope
from it's shores into deep water, but
they pitch off at angles so acute as to
be almost perpendicular, giving the I'M
preston that the water Of the lake
alls an immense pit Of great depth.
The lake is almost round and only a
mile in diameter Owing to its odd
formation and unusual depth, Bear
lake has the appearance Of a vast pool
OF black ink. In those depths are black
bass which are said to be natural to
that water, plentiful, large and full OF
sight. Black bass elsewhere are not
black at all, but of dark olive green,

When Vapor Is Dry.

Mr.. Nj. Mott-Smith points out in Sci
ence a popular misconception in the
superstition that aqueous vapor and ice
are wet. They are in themselves dry
and become wet only when they turn
to water. $50 dry is aqueous vapor
that it will dry any moist object that
1t comes in contact WITH Superheat-
ed steam before it condenses Is a dry
gas Ice feels wet if the temperature
Of the hand is sufficient to melt it. AS
ice it is dry. Another misconception
is that the air can be either moist or
dry. It is condensed aqueous vapor in
the air that is moist, and it would be
moist if there were no air. A given
quantity of aqueous vapor confined in
a given space will be wet or dry &C
cording to the temperature. At 80 de-
grees, for instance, it might be partial
ly condensed and consequently wet.
while at 70 degrees. owing to expar-
sion, it would be dry.

AndaIusian Girls.

Despite their attractions Andalusian
girls only marry after very long en-
gagements. sometimes lasting ten
years. One girl who has been engag-
ed four years has lover who comes
from a distance twice year to see
her, and yet he has never once men
toned matrimony. He lives with his
mother and no doubt keeps her, for
Spanish mothers have great influence
over their sons. When at last mar
rage takes place the bride has often
to reside with her mother-in-law, to
whom custom requires her to be most
subservient Extremely devoted to
their own mothers. Andalusian girls
are in no hurry to marry should their
doing SO require them to live at any
distance from their old home. On the
other hand, they do not appreciate
having to wait ten years, but, as they
say, "No hay remedio" 0here is no
remedy).-Seville Letter.
