Automobile Races

The greatest stunt and thriller of today. known as
the Fearless Gregg Auto Act" is two automobiles
racing down an incline to gap or open space, at
which point the first car, driven by man. leaps in
air and turns complete somelsault. During the
moment that this car makes the loop in the air the
second automobile driven by lady, passes directly
under the first and jumps the gap of about TWEEN
ty feet finishing first This show alone is well worth
the price of admission.

UNDERSTOOD BY ALI
Wireless Signal Sent Out by Ships in
Distress Is Universal Gail
! for Assistance.

In talking with the wireless operator
many ship passengers ask the meaning
of the three letters used in the dis
tress signal, IS. o. s." There seems
to be a general opinion that the letters
are the abbreviation Of three separate
words with definite meaning. Per
sons of an imaginative trend will tell
you that the letters stand for Save
our ship" Send out succor," Sink
or SWIM" or some such meaning.
The letters signify nothing but that
ship is in distress and in need Of as
sistance. The call is used by all ma
lions as a universal code, that any
wireless operator, regardless of the
language he speaks, can Immediately
intercept the call of distress. mas
much as the call is in use by all cOun-
tries, n can be seen that the signal
can have no meaning in any language,
The character OF the code makes it a
call that can be picked up easily from
other signals, being composed of three
dots, three dashes, three dots.--Ocean

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up In Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat Of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rihed
gun, and fired shells-a1so homemade
ON each of which was stamped,
with compliments Of G. J. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves were not with
out a sense of humor. During Christ
mas, 1899, they were besieging Lady
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with a piece Of plum pudding inside,
and each bearing the words, with the
seasons compliments"
Two Of the shells were found by the
garrison, and 1t was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in a foundry
at johannesburg.

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
increase of the Human Race Seems to
Be Regulated by Wars and
Other Devastations.

Every year, according to scientists
who attempt to keep the general rec
ords, at least 80,O00,0O0 human beings
are born on this earth mad 10000, 900
or 100000 die. This indicates a
dali birth rate of about 100000 and
a death rate of 100000. The daily
increase in population therefore is
about 10000. The total population of
the globe Is estimated at 100000
The ravages of war do little to i'm
pede the increase. Far more effective
have been the upheavals Of nature.
The Franco-Prussian war killed about
10000 In seven months. The death
roll of the Russo-Japanese reached
about 100000. A single earthquake
0737, in India) has been estimated to
have caused 100000 deaths. The ia
talities of the Messina earthquake in
1908 cannot have been far short Of
100000. A tidal wave in 1896 drowned
$4,000 persons in Japan, causing a
greater loss Of life than the whole
war with China in 1894. The earth
quake In Japan in 1903 is said to have
killed 100000 people. The Lisbon
earthquake In 1855 destroyed $4,000
human lives, while 10000 were lost in
the same year In earthquakes IN Per
