The latest addition to the family Of
motor-driven vehicles Is the autoped.
This machine has the carrying plat
form below the wheel axles and Is
designed to be ridden while standing
upright on one or both feet, the con-
troll being in the steering pillar. The
engine, 2h horsepower. is built in
the front wheel and the steering pillar
is hollow. serving also as the gasoline
supply tank The working parts are
entirely inclosed, making them dust
proof, and there are no pedals or
cranks about the machine, which will
maintain, so the inventor claims, an
average speed of 20 miles per hour
over country roads. with consump-
ton Of gasoline OF but one gallon to
the hundred miles.

DOES AWAYswlTH HAnDWoRx
Wonderful Machine That Embroiders
Dozens Of Pairs Of Stockings Prac-
ticaIIy simultaneously.

Shortly before the war 1t was re-
ported from Germany that openwork
stockings would probably be more
plentiful and cheaper as the result of
an invention which permits their man
ufacture by machinery instead Of by
tedious handwork The work Of the
machine is described in a report made
by e. Kilbourne Foote, United States
vice-consul at Chemnitz. Germany.
He says: "A machine has recently
been perfected in Saxony which en-
broiders clocks and ornamental de-
signs on three dozen pairs (72 pieces)
of socks or stockings simultaneously,
rs stitches being made at one time.
Intricate patterns and also openwork
embroidering can be done on coarse
es well as on the finest grades of
cotton, Isle or silk finished or unfin-
ished hose.
Another great advantage Of the ma
chine is that it obviates leaving ho-
siery for weeks with the hand embroid-
erers, whose work is always booked
far ahead, and large orders which
formerly could be executed only on
long terms for delivery can now be
filed rapidly. 1t has always been diff.
cult to get good handworkers for fine
black hosiery, as .embroidering on
black affects the eyesight. With the
rev machine only one man and one
girl are required to do the work"

Arsenic in quantities surprising the
percentage of the only other spring of
its kind In the world has been dis
covered in the waters of the springs at
Arrowhead, north of San Bernardino.
Cal. According to the analysis the
water at Arrowhead was found to con-
tain one-twentieth Of grain Of
arsenic to the gallon. while that Of the
only other known spring in the world.
at Bourboule. France, contains one
sixty-seventh of a grain to the gallon.
This latter percentage Of arsenic Is
found In steam caves in Waterman
canyon. The springs at Bourboule,
France, are considered to be Of such
value that the government has erected
a sanatorium costing 100000 for the
benefit of the French people.

DOGS HIKE COVERED MILES
To Reach Old Master He Made Dis
lance Of Many Leagues In
Two Months.

A. A. Smith Of Sterling received a
telegram declaring that a dog for
which he had conducted wide search
after losing the animal in Denver Is In
American Falls, Idaho, with friends,
according to Sterling (Col) dis
patch. The dog, a Scotch collie. made
It's way on foot from Denver to the
Idaho town. covering the distance Of
CTS miles in three days less than two
months.
The dog had been raised in the Idaho
town. He was purchased by Smith
and shipped from Idaho July Is. He
was placed In q baggage car and
fastened with q collar and chair. The
dog was on the train when it reached
Denver. Smith went to the. baggage
car to claim the dog. He and the bag
gage man were astounded to find the
dog missing. The collar. securely
fastened to the chain, remained to tell
in what manner he had made his es-
cape.
Smith spent four days in Denver
hunting for the dog and advertised
extensively in the newspapers. He
finally gave up hope Of ever hearing
of the animal again.
The telegram from the former own
ers of the dog at American Falls in
formed Smith that the dog had just
arrived there and that he was foot
sore. weary and otherwise suffering
from his long, and what must have

HIS CENSORSHIP WAS STRICT
Duke Of WeIIincton's Order Prevented
World Knowing About Result
Of Waterloo.

The absolute embargo which has
been decreed upon war news by near
" every war department Of Europe
brings to attention again the old
question of the rights of the public
and the necessities Of the strategists
in campaign to prevent their move
ments becoming known to the enemy.
Even a century ago." says r.
Lauriston Billiard In his book On "Fa-
nous War Correspondents" the Duke
Of Wellington was registering pro-
tests against such a mild type Of war
reporting rs that done by Crabbe
Robinson in the peninsula
I'm 1909 the duke declared that IN
some instances the English newspa-
pers have accurately stated not only
the regiments occupying position.
but the number of men fit for duty
of which each regiment was COM
posed, and this intelligence must have
reached the enemy at the same time
It did me, at a moment at which 1T
was most important that he should
not receive It."
This author is CT the opinion that
but for the protests of the Ircn Duke
the world would know far more about
the BATTLE Of Waterloo than was pos
sible in the absence of trained mar
rators.
The present degree Of secrecy Is
so complete that the newspapers OF
London are all protesting privately to
the war Office and publicly in their
editorial columns. and there is likely
to be some relaxation of the rule.
In his discussion of the whole ques'
ton of publicity of war news and the
demands which patriotism at times
makes for the suppression of intelli
gence, Mr. Mullard cities the famous
war artist Frederic villiers, who Ions
ago declared that publicity, pub
licity, publicity is the greatest factor
and force in OR public life."
