EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About
Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Poems
Cheap Gambling Paraphernalia.

One OF the favorite amusements Of
the Mexican peon Is the game he calls
'1os brincones." which might be trans
lated "the jumpers" circle Of dusky
laborers grouped about an apparently
empty space in the sunny dust Is
characteristic sight south of the Rio
Grande. The objects of interest, invis-
ible tn the casual eye, are the "brin-
cones" or jumping beans.
The game Is one calculated to APP
peal TO the Mexican temperament, be-
ing form Of pure gambling associated
with the irreducible minimum of ply
steal effort To the visitor 1t bears
also touch of mystery.
The players draw n small circle In
the dust and lay therein number or
little brown beans. which are really
not beans at all. but the seeds OF some
native plant. Exposed to the rays OF
the sun and the solemn gaze OF the
players. after a time the beans begin
to move. They turn, they stir. they
actually hop about. The lure of chance
consists In betting on which bean will
FIRST jump out OF the circle, ana apper-
entity the game liz fair. There would
seem to be no way Of framing the
mysterious beans.
The Mexican neither knows nor
cares why the beans jump, though their
behavior is most unusual for members
Of the vegetable kingdom. Asked for
an explanation, he will shrug and re-
mark that II is the nature Of ''brin-
cones" 10 jump. Why question the

AUTO HAD HUMBLE BEGINNING
First "Horseiess Carriage" Would Be
Regarded With Broad Smile by
the Drivers of Today

According TO Ernest Saul, French
journalist. who has made study of
the history of the automobile. NOR
stlan six centuries ago man endeay
ored TO build 'horseless carriage"
As early as the thirteenth century "a
Partisan carriage maker worked upon
It, and while not successful. his ideas
were seized Upon by noted scientists
of the day, and much study was de-
voted to q fruitless research into the
mechanical arts for machinery that
would drive vehicle by a series of
springs and cords wound up like the
works of n clock.
In 1860 French mechanic, Joseph
Cugnot, succeeded in propelling by
steam small wooden car of his own
design, and developed II TO point
where 1t drew piece OF artillery a
mile IN twenty minutes. This car
burned wood and was able to carry
enough fuel to keep 1t in motion for
more than an hour. The unweldy ma
chine wrecked itself however. and
Cugnot lost heart in his work. few
years ago France erected a statue 10
him as the inventor Of the horseless
yehicle.
After the failure of numerous ex
periments in England and France
shortly after the appearance OF Cug-
not's invention, the horseless vehicle
appeared to have been perpetual mo-
ton proposition until 1880, when new
discoveries In steam machinery direct

says: From numerous observations

true physiological purpose of yawn--
that Is. flushing the brain with blood
