A Perplexing Question.

Prof. C. F. Marvin, head OF
the United States Weather Blu
reau, tells in Lippincott's Maya.
zine the story of an expedition
from the University of Pennsyl-
vania, that was sent to one of
the Southern States, some years
ago, to observe solar eclipse.
The day before the event, one
Of the professors said to an old
colored man who was employed
in the household where the as
tronomer was quartered:
Sam, if you will watch your
chickens tomorrow morning,
you will find that they II all go
to roost at eleven o'clock,
Sam, as might be expected,
was skeptical, but at the APP
pointed hour the heavens were
darkened, and the chickens, as
foretold, retired to roost. AT
this the old negroes amazeme Mt
knew no bounds, and he sought
out the man of science.
Professor said he, how long
ago did you know dem chickens
would go to roost?
About a year ago, said the
professor, with faint smile.
Well, eff dat don't beat all :
was Sans perplexed reply.
Why, professor, a year ago dem

ONE TRIUMPH FOR AMERICA
Invention by orviIie Wright Notable
Addition to Devices for the
Safety Of Aviators.

Despite the relatively poor showing
made during 1913 by American avia
tors in comparison with the achieve
ments of the aviators of foreign coun-
tries. an American. Orville Wright
has been awarded the Collier priss
for the most valuable advance in the
science Of aviation during that yee9
This award was the result of Mr.
Wright's invention Of an automatic
stabilizing device. No definite design
for this apparatus has yet been de-
cided upon by Mr.. Wright. but with
experimental applications of his prin-
ciple he has made several remarkable
flights. with. and without passengers.
Mr. Wright thus describes his inven-
ton:
"The stabilizer consists, of two parts
-one controlled by q pendulum for
maintaining the lateral balance; the
other controlled by a vane for fore
and-aft balance. The power for warp
ing the wings and turning the elevator
Is furnished by a small windmill at
tached to the aeroplane, so that the
stopping of the motor does not affect
the operation Of the device"
In his experimental flights Mr..
Wright says that he kept. his hands off
the control and steering mechanism
for minutes at a time.

Says American Women Are The
Most Beautiful.

London, June 16. Francis
Toye, an Englishman and a spec
ial correspondent of the By.
stander, writing on The Truth
About the American Women, y
says that many American ladies
of fashion are too plump and soft
looking to be beautiful, . and he
goes on:
Despite recent reaction / think
the American woman of the up
per class is physically the LATEST
in the world. With the advent
of the automobile there seems to
be some danger of her losing the
use of her legs altogether.
Still l am bound to say that
even the average American wo-
man of the upper class seems to
be distinctly prettier than any of
her European sisters. But about
the average American woman of
the middle classes there can, /
am sure, be no doubt at all. She
is incomparably the smartest,
most elegant and beautiful thing
that exists under heaven. You
talk of the pretty faces of En-
glish girls, the distinction of Par
isian midnettes, the dash of Slav-
Onic women-why, the American
girl combines all of these quail
ties and improves on them too.
Her clothes are so smart that
you wonder how on earth she can
afford to buy them. Her blouse
is always spotless clean, her hair
effectively dressed. And the fig
ures of American women are &C
knowledged to be the finest in
the world.
1t is" he says, the ordinary,
everyday, go-to-work girl, who
takes her lunch at cheap eating
place, runs to catch a trolley car,
jostles in the subway and patron
ICES the movies. 1t is, in fact,
the goddess of the typewriter,
the fairy of the newspaper Office,
the grace OF the telephone that |
sing. Every time | see her l am
more and more amazed at her
average loneliness" he says.
Il do not" Mr.. Toye con-
tinues, so far as generalization
is possible, at all like the Ameri-
can woman nearly as much as
the comparatively plain-lookiug
average American man. Either
literally and metaphorically F.,
sometimes both, she too liable to
be discovered Unexpectedly in the
act of chewing gum-a most dis
tressing habit for a goddess to
possess.

to the rattle every time the snake

oAiuuILl UfENUUE.
Better late than never" is evl-
IDENTIFY the motto oil the officials of a
certain Texas railway. A con-
tributcr to the Railway Magazine
tells the strange history of one ain
on that road which arrived at it
destination just a little more than
seven years lac.
Ga September s, 1900, at hal
past elven on a stormy morning 9
passenger train left Beaumont
I. xas, for Port Bolivar, seventy
one miles away. 1t was due to ar
rive at its destination at five min
utes of two in the afternoon On
this morning the tram was run
mag en- schedule time. Sud.
denly, when nearing the town OF
High Islands, the engineer saw
mass OF water bearing down on the
train. In another moment the en-
CINE and coaches were alwost buried
in the see hing, swirling water. 1t
was food or tidal wave from tn
Gulf OF Mexico, aud it completely
Inundated the country for many
miles inland. The railway bridge
ahead was carried away, and before
the engineer could back the train
out Of the danger zone, the tracks
behind were washed out. Fortu
nately, the heavy train kept on the
track, ard the passengers suffered
tom the first shock of the food
nothing more serious than
thorough wetiing There was
nothing to 60 except to wait.
The waters receded almost as
quickly as they had come, although
to the passengers The time of wait
ing seemed interminab!e. When
the train crew was finally able to
investigate the extent OF the dis
aster they found that the only track
that the food had not carried away
were those on which the engine
and coaches were standing The
train was 'mayoone d in the midst
of the silent, devastated prairie.
The passengers and the train
crew set ont on foot through tie
mud. When at last they reached
region that the food had not laid
waste, they reported that the train
had been abandoned. But the
misery and suffering that the flood
had caused flied the mind of every
one so completely that the unfor-
tunate train was quickly forgotten,
and was left to rust and rot
Some years later, however, the
company decided to rebuild the
railway between Beaumont and
Port Bolivar, and to follow the
same roadbed that had existed be-
lore the fl ,od of 1900. Then, ono
day surveying party came upon
the abandoned train. The dis
coyery was reported to headquar-
tiers. Machinists were sent out,
who carefully went over the rusted
engine; they decided that in spite
of its seven years Of inact witty and
exposure, it was still capable Oh
service. When finally the tracks
hid beer laid between Beaumont
and Port Bolivar, and connected 10
the tracks on which the train stood,
a fire was built in the rusty boiler
of tue engine. With many creak-
ings and groanlngs. the rotting,
dilapi lated train finally got under
way, and proceeded on its inter.
rupted run to Port Bolivar. 1t
