EXTEND FIRE LIMITS
Auto Speed Reduced TO Twelve
Miles on II Street.


Miles on n Street.
The Commissioners yesterday extended
the IRE limits so as TO embrace both
sides Of II street northwest. between
Thirty-second and Thirty-fifth streets,
thus limiting the maximum speed of au-
tomobiles on that highway to twelve
miles an hour instead Of twenty. Here
tofore the middle Of r street has been
Interpreted by the police as the dividing
line. This Interpretation made 1t lawful
for automobiles to travel twenty miles
an hour on the north side OF the
street and only twelve miles an
hour on the south side. Then the
question arose as to the maximum rate
of speed to be permitted in the middle
Of the street
The limits were extended 10 the north
side OF the street upon the recommended
ton OF F.. W. McReynolds, a local at
torney,. and Mai. Richard Sylvester.

His One Meal a Day.

The eccentric DIR. Fordyce, a well
known professor of chemistry Of the
eighteenth century, believed that man
required only one meal a day. and for
twenty years he practiced what he
preached. At 4 he would present him
self at Dolly's chophouse in Paternos
ter row. and Immediately upon his ar
rival the cook would place pound and
a half of rump steak upon the grid
iron. While 1t was cooking the doctor
would amuse himself with some such
trihe as half n broiled capon or plate
of fish and glass or two of brandy,
Then came the steak. with a full nc.
compartment of bread and potatoes
and quart tankard of strong ale
This was followed by bottle of Ole
port. after which he would stroll to his
rooms in Essex street. where he mel
his class and gave lectures on chemis
try.-London Chronicle.

SPEED or SOUND.
An Easy Method Of Judging the Dis
tance II Travels.


There is an old saying that IL you
Fan count five between the flash and
the thunder you are safe. Modern
science tells us that If you can see the
1ash mt all you are snfe. because II II
struck you you would have no time to
see it. The speed OF lightning is about
$50 times that of sight.
The old idea was that IL you could
count five the storm was a mile away,
which was considered safe distance.
Sound travels at the rate Of LAP feet
q second. or about mile In five Sec
onds. In order 20 count seconds ac-
curately many photographers start by
saying to themselves: mo one thou
sand one one thousand. two one thou
sand. three one thousand" etc. This
gives about the right space between
each count OF one. two, three, etc. II
you stop at the number of seconds you
want to time With little practice
with a watch beside you this is ac-
curate up to half minute or more
II you see steam whistle blowing
and note the instant it stops you can
count the seconds until you lose the
sound. and by allowing fifth of
mile for each second you can judge the
distance The same is true of guns,
or an explosion, or even, of hammering
or any loud sounds.-New York Press.

MARRIAGE BY PROXY.
This Curious Ceremony Is Purely
Dutch Institution.


Some time ago a Boer in Pretoria
was married to q girl in Amsterdam. in
Holland the ceremony constituting
what the Dutch call handschoen. or
glove marriage.
In spite of the fact that a distance of
6.o00 miles lay between the bride in
the Netherlands and the bridegroom
In the Transvaal they We're just as eff
fectuaIly married under the Dutch law
as IL both had been present in the
same church.
The bridegroom sent to his friend, or
best man. in Amsterdam power of
attorney TO represent him az his proxy
at the ceremony and ut the same time
forwarded his glove. which at the
proper moment. when the two were
made one. was held by both the bride
and the proxy
The wedding was duly registered at
Amsterdam and at Pretoria. where the
bridegroom filed an affidavit with the
Ianddrost. or magistrate.
This curious form of marriage is a
purely Dutch institution. the custom
having originated. 1t IL said. in the old
times OF Dutch Batavian rule. 1t Is,
however. dead letter in the Trans.
