SORELY TEMPTS MOTORISTS
Whenever the question of unnec
essary noise so fir as autoirobUe
horns and other typos of warning
signals are concerned comes up in a
community, about the first thing
thd investigator discovers is, that
the person who has Just become a
motorist is usually Inclined to vio
late both the speed and the noise
ethics.
Mr. Roy F. Brltton of St. Louis,
in speaking of this very matter the
other day, said: "The man we
have most trouble with is the one,
who has just learned to drive a mo
tor car. He revels in two facts,
sense of .possession and a sense of
power. It fairly thrills him to feel
that he has at his finger's ends the
aility to drive his mr.chine at break
neck speed, and to make )>eople re
i a.'ize by the steady blowing of his
jtlectric horn that he is approaching
"I do not think any one can real
j ire this, the extent of this teupta
| tion, who has not driven a motor
car. 01d?r motorists are not alto
gether free from yielding to the temp
tation. The result is that the right
sort of legislation, such as we have,
restricting the use of warning sig
nals to an abrupt sound, sufficiently
loud to be beard above the noise of
traffic, is au absolute necessity. And
the further provision that a warning
signal be only used aa a warning of
roal danger existing brings about
the most desirable rseults."
A Striking Monument
Nowhere in the world can be found
i more striking uiouument than that
erected on the shores of lAke Issj
Kul, in central Asia, in honor of the
Russia u Genera! i'rjevalski. a famous
explorer of that roKiou. The tomf" is
hollowed out In the summit of a Jut
ting cliff on the eastern margin of the
lake, and the monument consists of an
enormous rough hewn block of 'fray
grauite. twenty five feet high, over
Which is thrown a chart of central
Asia.
The Number Three.
Three, which since the days of Py
thagoras has been the divine number,
is not Invariably fortunate, for though
the fates are three, so also are the
furies. The graces are three, but so
also are the Judges In hades and the
heads of Cerberus. Then there are the
records of three disloyal tribes lu
Welsh history; there are the three rob
bers in Orion's belt; there were the
three tyrants at Athens,* and three in
mythology is ns unlucky as It is di
vine.
The Word "Widow."'
As a word "widow" is most interest
ing. Max Mueller traced it back
through thousands of years with hard
ly any change of form or meaning.
"The word at its original formation
meant simply a woman left without a
man. just as It does today, and It has
remained all these ages materially un
changed both in sound and meaning."
A thousand years ago the Anfclo-Sax
ons used the word In England and
north Germauy. The Meso Goths and,
earlier than they, the Latin people
knew it centuries before the Anglo
Saxons, and the Sanskrit records show
that a thousand years before Latin
was written the same , word was spo
ken on the slopes of the Himalayas.
A Pool's Identity.
Some of the best knowu people pass
unrecognized by those to whom they
should be knowu. Harold Frederick
sat one ulght at dinner next a man
whose very silence aud taciturnity
caused him the more closely covertly
to survey him. Not a word was ex
changed between the two. "Who was
that ho(>eIes8 Idiot that I sat next to at
dinner?" asked Frederick at the close
of the meal. "That hopeless Idiot was
Cecil Ithodes," he wus answered. It
was the fact. The Colossus had been
in one of the mood* in which he would
not talk, and Frederick, though he bad
seen his portrait a hundred times, had
not recognized him.? St. Jau>es' <Ja

Sagacity of the Ancients.
Many quotations came from the
works of Thales, the Greek philosopher
and one of the seven wise men. It was
he who said, "Know thyself," "Few
words are a sign of prudent Judgment,"
"Search after wisdom and choose what
is most worthy," "There Is nothing
more beautiful than tUe world," "Time
is the wisest thing, for it Invents and
discovers all things.-' He also said
that it was the hardest thing in the
world to know oneself and the easiest
to admonish another. In his youth
Thales was urged to marry, but he
saty, "It Is too soon," and later in life
upon being urged again he said, "It is
too late."

Law of the Pendulum.
In the lnntn.iB at fifrw York a pen
dulum must be 39.1 Inches to vibrate
every second. Nearer to the pole such
pendulum would vibrate more rapidly
and nearer to the equator more slowly,
for the reason that tne pull of the
earth Is less, since at the equator the
pendulum Is farther from the center
of gravity of the earth.? Christian Her

In the cutting room skill Is required
to prevent waste. Cutting Is done with
machinery. The cutter divides <he bide
into as many oval sections as fioastble
and sends the piece- to the girls who
take up tbe neit stage, wblcb consists
>f carefully lining the leather With cot
ton twill. This Is the only work In
trusted to girls, it Is slow and must be
done perfectly n
Tbe liners are stitched together on
one machine and the covers on anotber.
From the last machine the covers coma
wrong side out. and the better gTadea
nre reversed by band. The cheaper are
torned right side out by machinery.
Turning a football cover by band re
quires great strength. Some men do
nothing else and as a result become ei
ceptlooally strong of hand, wrist and
arm.
Tbe rubber bladder Is inserted, and
when Inflated the oval begins to look
like the finished product now seen on
many fields, but the ball Is not ready
for delivery. It Is stamped on a bot

Although the game baa changed

In a meadow a balf doreo yotinf wo

The old farmer shook his head and

The Troubles of ? Giant.
George Cumberland saw the famous
giant Obrian Boro In the Strand In
London In 1784. and In "The Comber

Black, gives this note on him: "HU

tually measures eleven inches and >

I stood np I could Just with my fore
finger touch the bottom of his chin?
In a word, he la eight feet three Inches
