Turning Out for Automobiles.

An Iowa subscriber writes: when
a person drives along the highway
with team and big lumber wagon
and is overtaken by an automobile is
he obliged to give the automobile a
chance to pass? If so to which side
should the teamster turn? In other
words on which side should the
automobile pass the team? These
are questions that have been talked
about time and again in my neigh
borhood and nobody seems to know
definitely what the law on the matter
is. / have seen automobile drivers
pass on the left of the driver they
overlook, and also on the right. 1t
seems to me that many of them do
not know the law on this matter
either"
The law assumes that the driver
of an automobile has just as much
right to the public highway as the
driver of a team and wagon. He
pays taxes the same as anyone else;
in fact he pays more, for he pays a
special tax on his automobile, as
everyone knows. When an automO-
bile and wagon meet, both Chauffeur
and driver turn to the right in order
to pass. When an automobile over
takes the driver Of a wagon the lat
ter should again take to the right
to allow the automobile to pass on
the left. Those who have difficulty
in remembering these rules need
only to remember that the man with
team should turn to the right re-
CARELESS of whether he meets an
automobile or is overtaken by one.
By keeping this simple rule in mind
there will be no difficulty in know
ing which way to turn in all cases.
There are some farmers who seem
to take it for granted that the pub
lie highway belongs to them when
ever an automobile comes along.
They should get rid OF such notions.
There are also automobile drivers
who apparently think they own the
public highway and too frequently
pass people at a very high rate of
speed. They, too, should be more
considerate of each other; there
would be less trouble and fewer ac-
cidents.-Farmer and Breeder.

TO SEARCH FOR
 PEARLS WITH X-RAY
English Lieutenant Will Try New
 Method for Finding Jewels.

London, Aug. 10.-The oysters in the Indian Ocean are to have the X-rays turned on to them to discover the pearls that may be hidden in the shells. The proposal is made by Lieut-C Colonel K. Mackenzie Foss who is interested in the Ceylon pearl fisheries.
 Hitherto the procedure has been to open the oyster, and if no pearl Is found it is flung back dead into the sea.
 The use of the X-rays as applied ill surgery would of course entail an expenditure which would be almost prohibitive in the pearl fishing in dustry, but it is said that means will be found to render the rays available for operation in bulk at a much re- duced cost.
 Lieut.-Colonel Floss, who has seen great deal of the oyster fishing ill Ceylon, hopes to put the scheme tc a practical test shortly.

 ag The novelist, meanwhile. became fa- nous. His works had an immense sale, and his bank account increased rapidly He invested his earnings in the purchase of other fields around the little square house of Nerac until he became proprietor of the largest collection of vineyards in the dis trict The cottage also grew by suc- cessive additions, and ultimately bud ded out into a pretty chateau. Mar left hi mfrom books to the cultivation eel Provost became fond of his vine- of his newly acquired estate. The ground is the best, too, ill the region, and the wine produced in the vine- yards of Nerac is superior to any other wine in the neighbOrhoOd. The viticulturists of the Vianne and of five or six communes round about do not permit their wine to be con- founded with others. As M. Marcer Preyost himself says, We want it to be known that our wine is produc- ed there and not anywhere else.'
 When NJ. Fallieres visited Nerac a banquet was offered him, and the question was, what wine? The best vineyards of the region were to have the honor, The wine growers held council and it was decided that the honor of furnishing the wine for the Presidential table was to be given to M Marcel Provost. On the day or the banquet the President had the pleasure of seeing a signature OH the bottles which he had till then been accustomed to see only on DOCKS. The President, who is connolsseur' liked the wine so much that he ofder- ed some for the Elysee. One day. when some friends of the novelist were invited to dinner at the Presl- dents Palace, they had the pleasure of seeing "vin Marcel Provost on the card. It was a delicate comph- ment. which M.

It appears that at least on a suburban line near Paris kissing is to be added to the rubrlc of things banned A couple of lovers on the line between Paris and Pantin, having secured an empty compartment, were making the best use of the short time of solitude be- fore them, when a Sour-yisaged ticket collector requested them not too cour- teously to try to behave themselves decently. The young man defended himself warmly:
