Curious Forecasts

From Harpers Weekly.
 s Chance phrases in the literary works og other days describe with uncanny eX- aotness inventions Of far later times. For instance. we find in the Prolusions of Strada the Roman. which were pub lished in the year 16l7, what might he held to embody crude description of wireless as carrying on correspond ence by means of a "certain loadstone which has such Nidtue in it that if it touches two needles, when one of the needles begins to move the other, all though at ever so great a distance moves at the same time and in the same manner
 In 1874 Robert Hooke published a work wherein he observed that as glasses im- prove the vision, so ways might be found impossible" says he, ito hear a whisper u distance of furlong, and perhaps the nature of the thing would not make it impossible although that furlong should be ten times multiplied" This seems to be q fair forecast of the telephone.
 In "Gulliver's Travels" Swift causes his hero to relate. in the voyage to Laputa that the astronomers there have like wise discovered the two lesser stars or satellites which revolve about Mars" This has been held to constitute a satire on sham science. Nevertheless, Professor Asaph Hall a few years ago discovered the two tiny satellites.

hoof and off as they would say in Chicago. the entire situation as affects auto dealers for 1912 has been gratify- ing.
 , Expressions to show the general sat isfaction were secured last week for the principal dealers here as follows: Judge Dan Greene of the stude- baker: We are very much gratified over the results for 1912 and expect even better success during the com ing year although 1t has the 1s' at tached to it.
 D. ". Brownell Of the Ford: Our greatest business in this city was trans acted during 1912. It has been emil nenty satisfactory and we are very much pleased. The outlook for 1913 is even better"
 Hubert A. Drennsn of the Cadillac: The situation was unsatisfactory in only one feature for us, and that was inability to get cars. However, the gross business was. excellent, shooting was good, and we expect an even bet ter situation for 1913"
 Thomas Morris, Jr, of the Cadillac: Business was fine. l am perfectly sat- isfied with the lnstre shed upon our friends and our car by the Cadillacqua and the renditions thereupon. We promise even greater perfection in salesmanship and musical accomplish ments during 1913."
 l.. A. Whitehead of the Highland garage: We have been in automobile business about IS months and the ac- complishments by our forces during that time have been perfectly satis- factory. The line of cars we handle have been popular with the buying pub lie and we are gratified over their patronage of this company. For 1913 with our new forces we hope to achieve even greater results
 E. R. Minhennett. Jr., of the Cole We have just started that car here but our short work in 1912 was sat isfactory. We hope to have great year and believe that 1913 will go down as the best in automobile lines here.
 Charles Denegre of the Packard; Our business for the year 1912 has been all that we could wish. We have recent ly taken on the Hup and while lit- tie has been done yet on that com paratively speaking, at the same time that also has been gratifying. We are of the opinion that the new year just about to dawn holds out for us bus mess that will warrant our asserting great when asked at the end of 1913 how about it."

HUNTING RABBITS AT NIGHT WITH AUTOMOBILES

Ed Patillo, one of the best known automobile statesmen in Birmingham, relates a most remarkable story-that is. to the lay miud--one night last week, about Christmas eve, about shooting rabbits at night Every one acquainted with Mir. Patillo knows well enough that he is a second Colonel Cody when it comes to little matter of shooting a rifle, but few were in formed that his shility extended to the point of shooting elusive rabbits at night. It seems that Mr Patillo and a party journeyed up to Pinson, where the headlights of the automo- bile were used to glare the eyes of the rabbits As the eyes came in line with the light the eyes of the unsus-
 pecting and doomea rabbit gleamed as teh eyes of William j. Bryan oIten gleam. whereupon the crack shot seat ed luxuriously in the tonneau of the car, aims, fires. hits and then gamers in the said rabbit. It was related

N ERFEGT unison characterizes the e answer of automobile dealers of A Birmingham to the question or 1912 business and they all agree that the outlook bespeaks for 1913 even greater than the very satisfactory work of the past twelve months. During lsl2 the automobile dealers of Birmingham have progressed in many ways New additions have been made to garages, new shops have been opened which ln- dicates the growing automobile indus try here, new lines of work .identifed with the automobile industry have been inaugurated and in a great many ways the situation has borne a great harvest. The Birmingham automobile \ dealers during the year have been growing closer together; they have been o-operating and the association is getting to point where it will prove to be a power for good here in the automobile line and will sway the gem eral sentiment on every question that affects automobiles. In handling a greater volume of business during 1912 the extent of which was to the utmost liking of the dealers, they have been able to provide better equipment for handling, the dealers have made pos sible more efficient service and have received for that thoughtfulness and effort the general good will and the patronage of automobile users in Bir- ningham.
 For 1913 Judge Greene of the dealers association says that programme of work is to be outlined and followed which will mark the greatest achieve ments Of the association and local dealers when the coming year shall have passed In addition to getting closer relations established between the dealers ii is the pfan of the associa- ~1ion to stand together on policies that protect the dealers against those who annoy them with petty oyersights and it is planned to have during the com ing year the best automobile show ever pulled off in the south. The deal CTS have the show bug very acutely and 1t is asserted by a majority of thenr that they intend to pull off a show that will make Atlanta sit up and take long and closer scrutiny.

Catholic Progress

Catholic church affairs at the close or 1912 in America and in Europe are for the most part much improved over their condition at the beginning of the year. In America, of course, there Is nothing but steady growth. The creation of two addl- tional American cardinals just year ago has much strengthened Catholic affairs in America, while the growing influence Of leaders like the archbishops of Chicago, St. Louis and san Francisco, help Cath oilc interests beyond the provinces of the cardinals, whose official influence is lim- tied to the provinces of Boston, New orS and Baltimore
 h. Catholic finances the two potable things of the year in America were the greatly improved affairs of the Catholic university at Washington, and the large increase in missionary giving by Catho- lies of the province of New York The university opened one large memorial building and has others in prospect Amer lea now furnishes in New York the largest giver to Catholic world missions of any province outside of France.
 The better relations of the vatican and France, and the prospect of early dplo- matte relations are the hopeful feature of the Catholic church in Europe, The end ing of the war between Turkey and Italy,
