the most remarkable.
A six-volt Ray Battery was install
led in a coupe, which with three pas
sengcrs weighed. 3,7S3 pounds, the
gear was set in high and the stating
motor circuit was closed. The only
motive then was the battery which
was WORKING against the motor com
preston. In this manner the car was
driven four-tente of mile before :.
cane to a stop. After giving the bat
terry one minute in which to recur.
crate the starting circuit was again
closed and the car was run one-tenth
of mile before stopping. The battery
was again given one minute to rest
and the car was driven another one.
tenth of mile. In this manned the
car was driven in all seven-tenths OF
a mile after which the battery was
torn down and found TO be in perfect
condition. 1t was then re-assembled
and is now in continuous service.

CHAPTER xv

Throughout the forenoon Webster
and Dolores, from the deck Of the
steamer, watched the city. BY ten
o'clock the sounds of battle had SWELL
cd to a deeper. steadler roar. and
refugees arriving brought various and
fragmentary' stories Of the fighting.
FROM this hodge podge Of mlsInforma-
ton, however. Webster decided that
Ricardo's troops were forcing the is
sue with vim and determination. and
since the most furious fighting was
now well in toward the heart Of the
city, 1t seemed reasonable to presume
the struggle was for possession Of the
arsenal and palace.
At noon the deep dfapason Of con-
flict began to siacken: by one o'clock
It had dwindled considerably, and at
two O'Clock Webster. gazing anxiously
cityward, observed Leber's launch
coming rapidly out from shore. At
the wheel stood Don Juan Cafetero; ;
as the launch shot In under the ves-
sells side he looked up. searching for
Webster's face among the curious
throng that lined the rail.

On the Falkland :-Ianda

Who that would get his hair cut in
the Falkland islands seems committed
to long wait In the barber shop
but perhaps the Falkland islanders
are not fussy In this particular, and
the one barber may be less busy than
might be imagined. The population Of
the islands consists largely Of shep-
herds, guardians Of about 100000
sheep, and shepherds, as a class are
perhaps poor patrons Of the barber,
nor apparently do the islanders have
much need Of bricklayers, Of whom
there Is one to keep the barber com.
pany; nor Of house painters, of whom
there are two. shoemaking is more
active. for there are four shoemaker.
