here and If at any time you hear a
noise like the bombardment of Port
Arthur all you will have to do to see
the wonderful car will be to look
quick where you hear the noise and
you win see Joe Dawson's pet in Iac-
ton. The only difficulty the local
people have with the car is to drive
1t slowly enough to comply with the
local speed laws. The car does not
begin to run right until 1t Is making
about forty miles an hour and it is
aehard matter to slow It down to ten
miles an hour.
In the race the car made the 500
miles in the record time of sS1
minutes and six seconds. Fourteen
minutes of this time was taken up by
changing tires and making other re-
pairs, making the actual running time
of the car s67 minutes and six sec
onds, an average of eighty-one miles
an hour for the 500 miles.

High School and College.

Unless the American high school
and the American college are adjusted
we have no real educational system, !"
says Clarence D. Kingsley, in a bulletin
on collegeentrance requirements just
issued by the United States bureau Of
education, In these words he sums up
the current demand that the colleges Of
the country shall give the high schools
more freedom in their work by ceasng
to insist upon requirements for entrance
that hamper the school in its duty to
the community. He insists that the col.
eges recognize the changing demands
in the high school and base their re-.
quircments accordingly, He objects
alike to the "easy" college that ad.
mits students obviously unprcparcd and
the institution whose demands are so
stringent that none of the public high
schools can reasonably meet them.
Notwithstanding recent changes in
the direction Of uniformity great vari.
ETY. in requirements is still found. Eng
sh is about the only regular required
subject. Curious contradictions appear
in the several hundred institutions eY
amined. Certain subjects are consider.
ed so important by some colleges that
they require them, while other colleges
will not even accept them. Thus, for
admission to the A. b. course there are
four colleges that give no credit for
science, and four that give credit for
ony half year Of II, while, on the 9th.
er hand, 81 colleges prescribe one full
year of science. SOch contradictions
as these, says Mr. Kingsley "burdcn

Opals and III Luck.

Many people regard the opal as an
omen of Ill luck, and the following
will show how this superstition arose.
Two or three centuries ago the stone
was very popular in Europe, and the
jewelers. Of Italy were especially cum
ming in its setting. At the height OF
Its popularity came the plague which
wrought great havoc in Venice. 1t was
noticed by some observant persons in
that city that when a victim was on
the point of death his opal, If he wore
one, frightened, while after death it
became dull. The reason of this was
the heightened fever made the stone
become hot, and consequently very
brilliant, while after death the chill
and damp of the body dulled it. 1t was
however declared by many that it
brought death and misfortune to their
door, and as this superstition spread
the sale Of opals decreased, and to this
day people believe that the beautiful
stone brings i'll luck.

whv Chinese Shops Are Small.

The average Chinese shop Of any
kind in Tientsin and Picking Is one
story building without doors or win
dows to the street. The entire front is
closed by shutters at night. In the
day time the shutters are removed.
These shops are fourteen to sixteen
feet wide on the street, and the room
is not deeper than this. Three or four
feet back from the front a counter
runs, behind which there Is shelving.
The storerooms are not deeper because
of the peculiar arrangement Of Chinese
houses. The typical Chinese house is
only one story in height and is built
on all four sides of square courtyard.
If more room is needed there is Sec
ond courtyard in the rear with COM
municating door, and so on. The va
mems or official residences Of the va
rious Chinese officials Of Tientsin are
all erected in this way-one courtyard
after another surrounded by buildings
all opening into the court.

Death THROUGH a 1arantula.

One Of the quickest and most COM
plete and justifiable killings that ever
/ saw came about through tarantula.
1t was at a mine camp in the old days,
and the camp bully had tarantula I'M
paled on a stick. A man newly arrived
from the east stood gazing, fascinated
with horror, at the squirming reptile,
working its black fangs in the effort
to reach something that it could fasten
them into. Suddenly, without warning,
the bully thrust the tarantula straight
into the tenderfoot's face. His wh1sk-
ers saved him from the fangs, but he
let out a yell as if he had actually been
bitten and jumped back, l fully be-
lieve. ten feet Then, as the fellow
came poking the tarantula toward him
again, the tenderfoot drew his revolver
and turned loose on his tormentor His
first shot would have been enough, as
1t went straight through the fellows
body, but the tenderfoot had his ex-
element to work off, and he never
stopped shooting until his revolver had
been emptied and the man with the
tarantula was a sieve. Served him
right" was the verdict Of the coroner's
jury, and the case never went to court
for trial.
