Attention Is called in circular II
port from Sydney. Australia, to a new
invention of front-drive vehicle
which entirely prevents skidding. A
test over 10000 miles of rough road
has been made. 1t is claimed, with no
signs of wear. The front wheels are
pivoted in the center which enables
the steering of the car with much
greater ease than in the rear-wheel-
driven machine. The device is now
attached to an old worn British car

HAS TO LEARN HIS DUTIES
Throne, as Are His More Fortu-
nate Brothers.

If anyone wishes to see real-for-
sure king in this world, which is swift
ly coming to democracy, perhaps the
best place to go is the interior Of the
African west coast. For there, in the
bush, dusky royalty is seen at its
most interesting best, writes Temple
Manning in the Cleveland PLAIN Dealer.
Each community of huts is ruled by
a chief. This chief has powers which
sometimes extend to life and death
without the need of court or
judge. In his own little village he is
supreme. His lightest look, as well as
his least word, is law.
These chiefs, for there is one for
every village. have chief over them.
This paramount chief is king. He
rules not only his own village, but
the villages Of all the chiefs in his
particular tribe. When a paramount
chief dies, the lesser chiefs begin to
talk about electing new paramount
chief. But in west Africa 1t is one
thing to talk and another thing to act.
At last, however, paramount chief
Is chosen. He Is sent into the bush to
prepare for his high calling. Some
times months are consumed in this
preparation. The lesser chiefs visit
the future king and instruct him in his
duties and teach him sense" AS
the future ruler is not vet king, his
person Is not sacred. So. If the future
chief is slow in learning. the lesser
chiefs thrash him, just as you might
spank backward schoolboy. It's
painful learning to be king in west
Africa.
On day appointed, the king Is
brought out of the bush and is in
troduced to his subjects. The plains
are literally black with people. Not
a sound is heard. They look upon their
king in absolute silence.
One of the lesser chiefs, wearing a
inter and waving rod, walks up and
down before the king blessing the
various villages in the realm. Then
the king steps forward and bows. and
the silence is rent by wild yells Of
fealty.
The remaining ceremonies are those
of dancing and of rejoicing. The
king usually Is so tired he falls asleep
while his subjects do him honor You
may be sure he is glad it's all over.
For now no one may touch him under
penalty of death and he is,the favored
king of all the land.

ARE LEARNING ABOUT STARS
They Know Something Con-
corning the Subject.

The first successful attempt to
measure stellar distances was made
In 1888 by Bessel, who determined the
parallax of 81 Cygni, a little star Of
the, sixth magnitude which had at
tracted attention by its great proper
motion of five seconds Of arc a year.
At the beginning OF the present CEN
fury 40 or so parallaxes had become
known and in recent years progress
in measurement has become very
rapid. Greenwich observatory reports
the determination Of the parallaxes Of
80 stars a year, while some Americans
Observatories are doing even more
American astronomers have in prepa-
ration catalogue giving the paral-
lakes of 5000 stars and it is expected
that within very few years the dis
tances Of all stars visible to the naked
eye in the northern hemisphere will
have been made known, as well as
those of many fainter stars. The
parallaxes are determined by both
trigonometric and spectroscopic meth
DDS. while third method can be ap-
piled to many double stars. ,rass

Make Oil From Rubber Seeds.

1t will doubtless come as surprise
to many persons that an oil approxi-
mating linseed in its Qualities can be
made by crushing the seeds of rubber
trees, as will the further fact that,
once the oil is extracted the remaining
cake may be used for cattle fodder.
These discoveries were made long
time ago by the Dutch Imperial insti-
tute, but it has only been in the last
year or two that the use of this oil
has passed the experimental stage.
Now, however, at ieaSt one mill has
been established in Malaga for crush
ing the seeds. and small commercial
consignments of the oil have been sold
in Europe at good prices
Whether it will pay the planter to
supply the seeds to an oil mill depends
very largely on the cost Of their col
lection, a point on which experts
differ
There are, however. large quantities
Of the seeds to be had in the Dutch
East Indies. and in view of the pres
ent need of exercising strict economy
in connection with rubber plantations
and the big demand for oils and food
stuffs, serious efforts will be made to
utilize the seeds in the way mentioned.

The blocks were quarried by means

was then shaped and dressed with
chisels and drills Of very hard bronze.
The blocks were mounted on sleds

Not a Rival.

Among the few royal pilgrimages
recently reported from the presently
depleted royal circles of Europe Is a
visit of the king and queen of Dem
mark to their expansive dependency
of Greenland
Greenland Is the closest connecting
insular link between the new CONT
nent and the old, and has a definite
geographical interest for the people
of America. The king of Denmark
also happens to be a monarch of COM
mendably democratic qualities.
Greenland has an area Of over $780,
600 square miles. FIVE times that Of
California. But providence in its wis.,
dom has seen fit to superimpose glaci-
ers over 100000 Of those square miles.

menaces in respect of undesirable i'm

Society Gives Up Smoking.

Smoking has become such a bour.-
geois habit that many women of the
London arstocracy who have been u.s.
ing tobacco are now stunning it, at
least in public. Medical men here
have warned women frequently since
the war about the evil effects of over
Indulgence in cigarettes. but 1t was
not unit. smoking became a bourgeois
habit that any difference was noticed
in the smoking habits of women Of
the so-called upper ten"
At the moment the use of tobacco
by women has become abnormal; be-
sides, many tobacconists are manufac-
turing small briar pipes for feminine
use. This has made the habit too COM
mon to please certain figures in so,
ciety, and, in consequence, they have
given up the weed. At some aristO-
cratic garden parties recently few If
any women of the elect ventured to
smoke openly. So what medical men
have been unable to do by their warm
ing is being rapidly accomplished by
class pride-St. Louis Dispatch.
