RIDE PILLI0N ON MOTORCYCLE
Fair Riders Said to Be Deserving Sad
die Horses for the Faster
Gated Machine.

Have you seen the ''pillion girl"f
Not the demure, coy and shrinking
maiden of years gone by, who rode
"side-saddle" behind her swain on
horseback, but the rOllicking, dare
devil knickered girl Of today, perched
precariously astride the extra seat on
a motorcycle, bowling along the road
at a 4O-mile-an-hOur clip.
Despite the wide dlssimilarity In
the style of riding, the name has per-
sisted In England and the "pillion
girls" have become so numerous In
that country that recently the depart
ment ON taxation and regulation Of
road vehicles sat in solemn cOnclave
to decide whether the ''pillion girl Is
a source of danger to the general pub
lie, the New York Sun states.
1t Is not clear whether general pub
lie" includes the pillion girl herself,
Of whether the term comprises mere
~ the motorists of the opposite sex
whose eyes are 'unaccOuntably distract
ed from the road by the sight of
pretty girl on the rear seat Of mo
tOrcycle, Haunting graceful, silk-clad
legs, her hair flying in the wind.
In any event, the committee reports
there is no appreciable amount Of evil
dence to indicate that the practice Is
a source Of danger to the general pub
lie. They are of the opinion that no
case has been made out sufficiently
strong to justify the prohibition Of the
practice.
On this side of the Atlantic the "pil-
lion girl is apparently safe from mo-
lestation. In fact, each year sees an
increasing number of women Operat-
ing their own motorcycles.

HAVE SLANG ALL THEIR OWN
Phrases introduced by College Stu.
dents Keep Modern Lexicogra-.
pliers on the Jump.

When Sir e. Bulwer Lytton penned
his inspiring line on "the bright lexi-
con of YOUTH" that lexicon was an
open book to sages. But lately the
Junior lexicon has become more COM
plicated, If not brighter. 1t is a puz-
zle even to college presidents. "'Snug-
gle pupping,'" President Marion Leroy
Burton of the University of Michigan
remarked the other day, "is a phase
of college life of which l am ignor-
ant"
No one can blame a college presi-
dent for being stumped by 'snuggle
pupping." Only the youngest and most
alert photographers can hope to cope
with the campus vocabulary, and they
only if they take their duties very
seriously. "'Necking,'" writes one Of
the youngest and most serious of the
Junior photographers, as a Harvard
Yale-Princeton term, about six years
old, which has displaced petting'-
aged about twelve years-as descrip-
tiOn of what our grandsires used to
call 'spOoning.'"
A rule that will be helpful to elders
cropping among these complexities is
to remember that. while there are
many terms in the campus lexfcOns,
there is only one topic. For "snuggle
pupping" and it's successors, look up
"spOOning."

LOSE INTEREST IN SERENADE
Masculine Spaniards Said to Have
Turned From Romance to the
More Prosaic Football Game.

Sad, indeed, to lovers Of the pictur-
esque is the news which comes from
Seville, Spain. The serenade, from
time immemOrial the Quintessence
Of romance, is passing away and will
soon be known no more. Worst of
ALL it is being destroyed by
nothing else than modern and unrO-
mantle football. This game Is ut pres
ent in full vogue in Spain. Every
where young men are passiOnately ad-
dicted to 1t, I'm Seville as elsewhere,
so that the young Sevillians have no
longer time as formerly TO cultivate
the song, the guitar and the mandolin.
Football engrOsses them.
Soon one will not find a single lover
capable Of playing serenade under
the balcony of his Dulcinea. II ROsina
opens her window Almaviva will not
be there to declare to her his passion.
But lately, on Saturdays, the young
Sevillians assembled and wandered
through the streets Of the town sing
ing to the stars. Today they 60 to bed
early so as to he the next morning in
good form for their favOrite game.

HER ENUNCIATION IN DANGER
Woman Was Beginning to Feel the
Strain Of Prolonged Converse
ton With "Foreiqners"

The Woman was visiting the family
on the event of the engagement of
the youngest daughter. The family
was Bostonian by birth and tradition,
but the two eldest girls had married
several years before and had left their
native city. One of them married a
Southerner and the other Westerner
Each had acquired the accent of her
particular locality and the children Of
the Southern couple had perfect
Southern drawl, while the other sis.
ter's children had the broad Western
accent
The effect was startling and the
Woman could scarcely follow the con-
versation. 1t almost seemed that
these sisters were from strange coun-
tries, each speaking her own tongue.
The mother of the three girls was
most confused. When she addressed
her Southern daughter she uncon-
sciously affected the Southern drawl
and when she talked to her Western
sOn-in-law she nearly perfected the
Western accent
In the hall later as they were leav-
ing, the mother clutched the WOman's
arm.
MY DEAR" she breathed, I'm ruin
ing my enunciatiOn trying to talk to
these foreigners Journal.

Services to Prevent Robbsrles.

Science, which has rendered us 80
many services, has now attacked a
new problem. Inventors are pitilessly
hunting the burglars of Paris. Many
are now I'm search Of means Of defend
ing the stores and banks against erim-
inal attacks.
One of these most curious inven-
tiOns consists OF pedal situated In
the interior Of the store. The burglar,
II he watches the hands Of the man,
cannot at the same time see where
he puts his feet. Then the pedal
starts an electrical clOckwOrk and at
the same time an Illuminated plate
calling for the police appears on the
outside Of the store. Among the other
inventions there is an overcoat with
a special pocket for carrying re-
volver. The weapon Is so placed that
when the attacked person facing the
burglar raises his arms. the revolver
is brought into position for firing and
the act Of raising his hands pulls
string which discharges 1t.

The Forty lmmortals.

A name often given to the 40 mem
bers Of the French academy Is the
Immortals. These members are elected
for life to the academy which meets
twice weekly in Paris and which con-
stitutes the highest authority on every
thing appertaining to the niceties of
the French language, to grammar, rhet-
Oric. poetry and the publication Of the
French classics. The academy was
founded by Cardinal Richelieu in 1885.
and Is the most important and best
known of the five academies cOmpOs.

The Ostrich In Africa.

Some TING ago the French au.hori.
ties in western Africa undertook to
organize the breeding Of ostriches In
the territory under theh control. Os-
triches are found wild In many parts
Of western Africa. Along the River
Niger they avoid the neighborhood
Of man. but on some Of the islands In
that and other rivers the natives have
established rude ostrich farms. One
official. who was appointed to study
the subject, says that the methods Of
the ostrich farmers Of the Cape can
not be fully carried out in French
territory. 1t is necessary to leave the
ostriches in a partially nomadic state.
They migrate more or less with the
seasons. When It becomes too dry
in the south they go northward.

Relics of lono-Past Aue.

A large copper kettle and other rel
ics of past age, believed by students
of archaeology to have been buried
1000 years, were unearthed recently
by DIR. III. G. Myers, professor of chem
istry at Whiteworth college, Spokane,
Wash, few miles north of the city,
where some road excavating was be-
ing done.
"With the copper kettle" said Doc.
tor Myers, was the skull Of an In
dian, wrapped in piece Of buffalo
skin. The copper was 30 old It had
changed to copper carbonate. This
chemical compound. had been absorbed
by the skull, and It had served as q
preservative. A buckskin shirt also
was found in the kettle. A few beads
and some wampum also were secured
from the excavation"

Liner Delayed to Save Life.

The value that we set on human
life today has been dramatically H.
Illustrated by an incident on the Allan
tic ocean.
An explosion In the engine-ro0m
Of a freight ship caused terrible In.
juries to the second engineer, a young
man named O'Neal. There was no doc.
tor on board, so the captain sent out
wireless calls for "ssistance.
Seven ships replied. In six cases
doctors told the captain what treat
ment would be likely to give the best
results.
But one passenger liner did more
than this; 1t put $50 miles out of Its
course and sent lifeboat with the
ships doctor In 1t, who attended to
the patient and then had him trans
ferred to his ship. When the liner
reached England he was comfortable
and on the way to recovery.

OASIS IN ARIZONA DESERT
What Has Been Done to Make Ajo, for
Centuries an Arid Spot, "6los-
som Like the Rose"

West OF the Santa Cruz and south
of the ella in Arizona the territory is
generally an irreclaimable desert. Its
mountains, however, abound in rich
ore of gold, silver and copper. At the
celebrated mine, the New, COrnelia
Copper company has created in the
midst Of this arid district a garden
spot with attractive and artistic houses
of mission architecture, and broad ave-
nues lined with palms. This has
been accomplished by providing mil
lion gallons Of water day, which Is
pumped from a 7OOfOOt well eight
miles frOm town. The history of min
ing in the district is full of the rO-
nance Of the West, the copper deposit
there having been first worked by the
Spaniards and Mexicans 200 years be-
fore the Gadsden purchase Accord
ing to A. w. Allen, writing in En-
gincering and Mining Journal-Press, 1t
was only after long experimentation
that a process adaptable to the treat
ment of complex ores was evolved.
The operating company provides q
school and hospital for benefit of Its
employees and also runs a profit-shar-
ing store. The camp is connected with
the railroads of the country by
branch of the FL Paso and Southwest
ern railroad. The mining claims and
the mill sites cover an area Of 1854
acres. The property affords strik-
ing and unusual example Of what
American Industrial management can
accomplish under adverse climatic and
geographical conditions.
