TAXI GUSTS fIAN5Uk
l~ondon Museum Places Old Vehi-
 Gle on Exhibition.
Thousands of Modern Cars Now in Service and Few of the Horse Drawn Fare Carriers-Big
 Change in Last Years.

London.-The new London museum has shown it's enterprise by adding a hansom cab to it's collection, although there are at least four hundred nr these vehicles still in use on the Lon don streets. But the last maker of hansoms closed his doors three years ago, and the museum authorities are no doubt anticipating it's rapid extine- tion.
 In 1905 motor taxicabs first ap- peared on the streets under the hum ole title of "CIarences- Mechanical Power" there being 19 of them as compared with about 7090 hansoms. In 1910 the hansoms had declined to 2,00S, while the taxicabs had risen to 1897.
 The exact figures for today have not 5een compiled, but it is safe to esti- mate that there are at least II 900 tax ieabs to 400 hansoms, internationally employed. The refusal of the han som drivers to accept the taximeter accelerated their end, for if they had accepted it they might have made a longer fight, as the Paris fiacres are doing.
 Decoratively, the London streets lave lost by the passing of the han iom, for the tall, delieately poised arriage, shiny black, with the driver commanding cab and horse from his lofty seat and with the slender whip rising above all. was an outstanding picture of London traffic.
 Buckinghamshire Is planning to aise, on June 27. in the Vale of Ayles- )ury, memorial to her favorite son, John Hampden, who, according to Ma caulay, would have been the George Washington of his country if he had survived the terrible wounds which le received in a fight with Prince 3upert's cavalry in Chalgrove.
 Posterity has placed Hampden first lmong the parliamentary party which opposed Charles l., and he began the fight in parliament as a representative of Buckinghamshire.
 Some curious old documents offered for sale recently by London dealer prove clearly that the wild fowl which occupy the lakes in the London parks were in occupancy there in the reign of James I.

IUCk.

The wold luck is used to ex- press many ideas. but it's misuse is in attributing to fate or destiny what rests with the individual. Bad luck" and just my luck" are expressions used to lay on some indefinite something blame that properly rests on the sufferer him. self.
 There are great unchangeable natural laws by the physical, the economical and the moral worlds are governed. The person who observes these laws has good luck and the one who disobeys them has bad luck. There is not some unseen something back of the scene handing out to one good fortune and others bad; the individual chooses what he will be and what he will have. although it may be unconsciously, by putting himself in line with natural laws or by pumping against them.
 Man is master of his own desti- ny and he but acknowledges his own weakness when he attributes to luck what comes from miscon- duct or bad management. The sample of treatment he gets from his fellows is as rule of the kind he has given. The health he has is to great extent product of his environments and his care of himself. His success or failure in his vocation is due to the observ- ance of natural laws or the lack of observance of them. It is not luck out self that each of us is depend ent upon for our success and hap piness, for we are not dealing with chance but with law inyineible and unchangeable.
 Then for luck let us read law. Instead of hoping for ourselves good luck, let us stuiy natures laws and obey them as far as pos sble. In the event of failure, place the responsibility where it belongs, on yourself. and make another effort profiting by former mistakes. Southern Agrie ulturist.

sensitIveness of BIow-FIy.

It is we'll known, says Knowledge. that the blowfy (Calliphora vomit- eria) has an extraordinarily keen sen sitiveness to the odor of flesh, detect ing it from distance. Xaxier Raspall has made some observations on the rapidity with which the flies find a bird has just died and he maintains that they do not alight a second be- fore that. An apoplectie pigeon that looked dead, but was not, was left un- visited. A moribund magpie, lying beside two others which had just been killed, was left unvisited. though ths flies were on the dead birds just be- side 1t. The instinct not to lay eggs in anything not quite dead seems to he strongly developed But Raspatl goes on to draw the hazardous conclu- sion that in the article of death an animal gives off a volatile something of infinite subtlety, which serves as a clue to the fly.

IS DEMAND FOR ORANGEWo0D
Trees Sacrificed for Building Sites in San Gabriel Valley in
 California.

The sale of orangewood is new and profitable industry. which is being developed by the owners of Miehil- linda tract in the San Gabriel valley. The wood is being cleared from buiid- ing sites in the subdivisions and it is being sold for $22 cord. It is said to be used in the manufacture Of manicure implements.
 The orangewood harvest is some thing new in real estate tracts. Us- ually wherever an orange tree grows it is something to be cherished and protected, but at Michillinda there are whole groves and some of them must be sacrificed to allow space for build ing.
 Through a remarkable orchard sys- tenn established by the former owners of the Xichillinda site many of the choicest building lots now afford selection of orange, lemon and tam gerines. Thus the builder may estab- fish his home in grove of semi tropical trees, where he may select his breakfast grapefruit or orange as it hangs or the trees outside his dining room Window.
 Already the orangewood which has been sold from this suburb has net ted more than $2,000 and this from trees cut for the drives and streets through the residential park.-Los An geles Express.

REAL FOUNTAIN OF PUNCH
for the Entertainment of Six Thousand Guests.

Some of the papers have recently devoted attention to the origin of punch. that famous seventeenth cen tury drink which has long lost it's popularity in this country. though it still survives to some extent in Flu rope.
 Owing to its intimate connection with rum one might easily have ima- gined that punch originated in the West Indies. In fact, however, it actually came from the East Indies and the name Is said to be derived from the Sanskrit 'panscha,' five, on account Of it's five ngredients-arrak (afterward rum), tea, sugar, lemon and hot water.
 The most magnificent bowl of punch the world has ever seen was probably that provided by the Right Hon. Ed ward Russell, who, when commanding the British forces in the Mediterran- can in 1894, entertained 5000 guests at Alicante, where large marble fountain was filled with the liquor, the ingredients being:
 Four hogsheads of brandy, pipe of Malaga wine, 2.500 lemons, 20 gal Ions of lime juice, hogsheads of wa ter, 5 pounds of grated nutmegs in weight, 300 toasted biscuits and 13 hundredweight of fine white sugar.

TT enderfoot" Pastor Shows Nerve While Preaching at
 Greeley, Colo.

Greeley, Colo,-Rev John Bentley. an invalid "tenderfoot," graduate of an eastern theological college, may have a congregation any time his health permits him to preach here because of his nerve. Addressing handful of people in the little adobe schoolhouse, ten miles from here, he paused sud denly at sight of rattlesnake that had joined his congregation and nestled at his feet. He stopped quick ly, grabbed the reptile back of the neck, carried it out of the schoolhouse and stamped 1t to death. Returning, he dropped the subject of his sermon and, symbolizing the snake as sin. held his congregation for an hour The next night the congregation was too large for the schoolhouse.

Deeper Tha. Highest Mountain.

The depth of 9.7S0 meters to which the founding line of a German sur vey ship is said to have sunk in the Pacific ocean near the Philippine Islands is some 1000 meters deeper than the previous deepest sounding Of the total water surface of the globe, 145,000,00 square miles, about one-third stands more than three miles above the bottom of the sea. but until now no part of the great oceans has been discovered deep enough to submerge Mount Everest. But if there is no mistake about this depth of 9,7S0 meters (32,0SS feet) the worlds highest mountain could be sunk there until it's highest peak was 5000 feet below the waters level The deepest soundings have all been made in the Pacific; 23,250 feet is the record of the Atlantic, in proximity to the West Indian Island of St. Thomas; while the North sea only averages 300 feet, or about one-tenth the maximum depth of the icy waters of the Arctic ocean.
