BUSSESROUTCARS
Motor Coaches Driving Out Trol-
ley in Some Towns.
Good Roads Throughout the Count!)
May Threaten the Electrls
Car's Existence.
A town In Vermont has now abaiv
doned its trolley line and is to sub
stitute busses. It is announced that
when the change goes Into effect the
fare Will be raised from 8 cents to
10. If the street railway company
had put up the price no one would
have stood for It, we presume. A
street-car fare Is one thing, a bus fare
another. Such Is our unanalytical psy
chology.
Few opportunities are offered for
getting more for your money than a
ride on a street car, no matter what
the rate charged. Yet trolley com
panies here aud there are being driven
to the wall or out of business be
cause people "kick" at a legitimate
fare, while they are willing to pay
more for perhaps inferior, at least
Irregular service.
Picture the busses in this Vermont
town getting proprietor, clerks and pa
trons down to the store on Main street
on the morning after heavy snowfall.
They will be good snow buckers If
they do it, for they won't have any
plowed-out trolley tracks to run in.
This promises to be an interesting ex
periment on (his account. Where busses
heretofore have been tried either
they have not operated where they
had to contend with heavy snow or
they have run In the tracks of the
street railways.
The motor bus Is multiplying In
New York and in this state would
probably have sent the Connecticut
company's rails and cars to the Junlc
man had not the public utilities com
mission intervened.
In the city of London there
are no street car lines. Motor
busses apparently serve the city and
environs dependably. Success of the
motor bus In this country will In
the end depend on the quality of
service rendered. Hereabouts the trol
ley seems to have certain advantages,
In regularity, dependability, c»st and
upbuilding of suburban territory which
it would be a calamity to lose. It was
predicted thirty-flve years ago, when
the trolley was In its Infancy, that a
superior method of transportation
would soon supplant It. The under
ground cable and. various other de
vices have had their day and disap
peared, but the trolley still stops to
take us abroad. It has been a faith
ful servant.
Street Improvement, of course,
makes the motor bus a possible com
petitor. Little advantage apparently
Inheres today In steel rails, as a well
surfaced road provides for rubber
tired vehicles good enough traction.
Government, state and town appro
priation of hundreds of millions year
ly for good roads have created a con
dition that may threaten the trolley's
existence. If that time comes there
will have to be a lot of new lawmak
ing.—Hartford (Conn.) Times.
United States Abounds In Qema.
Practically every known gem is to
be found somewhere In the United
States. Diamonds are to be found in
Arkansas, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Georgia, Ohio, Wisconsin, Colorado
and California. Montana leads In the
production of sapphires and also of
rubles, while others of the same fam
ily, especially the true emerald, which
is often more valuable than diamonds
of equal size, Is found in North Caro
lina and New Mexico. While the
largest and richest of the blue variety
of topaz comes from Russlai Colorado
has produced a marvelous reddish
brown stone that cannot be excelled,
while the clear varieties from New
England and Utah are as lovely as a
diamond. Many lands have given gar
nets, but the finest are from New Mex
ico. Nevada's opals have become im
portant in the commercial world.
Fresh-water pearls' come from the
mussel and are found In the rivers of
Arkansas, Indiana and Tennessee.—

Colors Worn by Jockeys.
There are record! to show that King
Henry VIII as early as 1530 dressed
his Jockeys In colors, but nothing to
prove that the colors were always the
same. In 1762 the Jockey club posted
a notice to the effect that several own
ers of racing horses had selected colors
to be worn by their Jockeys. Some of
the colors chosen then are still In use
by the same families.

ADVANCE IN TREE SURQERY| I Thl Eton College.
1 This famous educational Instltutloi
at Eton, England, was founded bj
Henry IV (1422-1401) in 1440, undei
the title of "The College of the ISlessed
Mary of Eton Beside Windsor." Th«
pupils consist of king's scholars, ox
collegers who enter college between
twelve and fourteen years of ago. Un
til 1851, the education was purely
classical, but In that year'mathemat
ics was admitted Into the curriculum,
and In 1800 physical science was added
to the course of study. Eton has been,
for generations, the favorite school for
the sons of the nobility and gentry of
Eng' rnd. Among the famous men that
have studied at Eton may be named
Horace Walpole, Bollngbroke, I'orson,
Hallam, Gray the poet, Shrl>y, Well
ington, Canning, Fox, Gladstone,. Lord
Salisbury and Sir John Luiibock.
Million* of Dollari Being Bp»nt An

of Beauty.
Tree surgery, as It Is practiced to-,
day, Is less than a quarter of & cen-!
tury old. It was, naturally, crude In
It* beginnings, and the past ten years
have been the era of Its greatest de
velopment. It may be iiald that this
development has closely paralleled that
of the automobile. In both cases the
original principle was sound, but It
has taken a good many years to bi'ing
about the refinements which constitute
the efficient gas-driven car and per
fected tree surgery of the present day..
Among Americans no line of com-1
merclal or professional endeavor can
be expected to thrive or even endure
for long unless It has a sound economic
justification, says E. A. Quarles. We
are a practical people and things Im
practical make a very limited appeal.
American home owners spend yearly
not less than $5,000,000 in the care of
their trees, exclusive of work done on
them by labor in their own employ.
rpl en years apo it Is doubtful If half
that sum was spent. These figures
speak forcefully In confirming the ac
ceptance of tree surgery as an Impor
tant and practical application of sci
ence to the preservation of a useful
material possession of mankind.
Shade trees about the home have
both an aesthetic and economic value.
■\Vith many the first-named would justi
fy any reasonable care for their pres
ervation. Louis Fuertes, the noted
painter of birds, said in a recent ad
dress that he, for one, was tired of
hearing people appealed to for the pro
tection of birds because of their eco
nomic value, great as this la. Those
of us whose lives are spent with the
trees and whose daily endeavors have
to do with their preservation some
times have the same feeling If we must
be brutally frank. "Only God can
make a tree," In the words of Joyce
Kilmer's Immortal verse. Do not Its
majesty, grace, beauty and the sug
gestion it gives of a link between man
and the Creator furnish all the urge
that is necessary to give our treea the
care they deserve? Short of man him
self, few creations of the Almighty so
completely fill the eye and satisfy the
aesthetic sense as do the trees. In
practically all landscaping of any scope
trees are the dominating motif. Cer
tainly they deserve better care from
man than they receive.—Arts and Dec
orations.
New Cadmium-Gallium Lamp.
The production of light sources from
which pure monochromatic light of
various wave lengths and great in
tensity may be obtained la from a
practical viewpoint of great Impor
tance In the field of optica.
During the paat month, the bureau
of standards haa constructed an en
closed quarts vacuum lamp ualng an
alloy of gallium and sine, similar In
many respects to the cadmium-gallium
lamp previously designed. The design
of the new lamp has bean so perfected
that the lamp operates quite satisfac
torily with very little flickering, giv
ing several Intense lines, one red and
several blue and green.
Preliminary experiments have been
made In connection with the produc
tion of a thallium lamp, bat the re
sults so far have not been entirely
satlafactory owing to the high tem
perature at which It Is necessary to
run the lamp to prevent the thallium
from depositing on the walls of the
light space, thus covering up the arc.

Honor Among Chlneae.
It appears that there is a very high
sense of honor among Chinese, writes
Henry Crosby Emery, LL. D. So is
there among the merchants of Amer
ica, England, Germany and other coun
tries. Again the differences between
individuals are Infinitely greater than
those between nations. To all this
nust be added that, since China Is an
older country, her merchants devel
oped a sense of honor long before
western countries. At a time when
European commerce was half trade
and half piracy, China had developed
this high commercial morality. It Is
probably the half-buccaneering traders
who first brought news of this strange
and honorable custom to lands who as
yet knew It not Today Chinese com
mercial honor and English or Ameri
can commercial honor differ little ex
cept that China had developed it cen
turies before It was adopted In foreign
lands.—Harper's Magaslne.

If anyone is Inclined to depreciate
the Importance of a few minutes a day
devoted to some task or hobby, let him
consider the case of Henri Aguesseau,
the great French Jurist and statesman
(1668-1751). Mfne. Aguesseau had
the blameworthy liablt of keeping her
husband waiting every evening about
fifteen minutes after the dinner bell
rang. Aguesseau utilized this quarter
of an hour each day to write a work

Homeric Verse.
The name Homeric verse Is some
times given to hexameter verso—the
spic or heroic verse of the Creeks and
Romans —because it was adopted by
Homer In hi- t" 0 grout p ins, the
Iliad and Oil; ssi y, Hexameter verse,
as its name Implies, consists of six
feet, the first four of which may be
either dactyls or spondees, while the
fifth must regularly be a dactyl and
the sixth a spondee. When, however,
the fifth foot Is a spondee, the verse
Is said to be spondaic. A spondee
consists of two long syllables, and a
dactyl of one long syllable and two
short ones. Virgil's Aeneid also la
written In hexameter verse.

body will admit an alredale terrier Is
not the sensitive organism a child Is,

The Channel Islands.
The name Channel Islands Is ap
plied to a group of small Islands In
the English' channel, lying off the
northwest coast of France. Their to- !
tal area Is about 75 square miles,
and their population numbers about
100,000. The principal Islands are j
Jersey, Guernsey, Aiderney and Sark. \
Jersey, Aiderney and Guernsey are
fnnious for their cattle. The "Channel
Islands" were anciently an appanage
of the duchy of Normandy, nnd havo
belonged to England since t!se Con
quest. The Inhabitants still speak
the old Norman-French language.

NEW A Fie A IN
FLYING NEA
Inexpensive Transportation Fore
idowod by Remarkable Success
At'.ninej by Motor Gliders.
A new era in air flying, that of
cheap, safe, popular airpinnlng, h
foreshadowed by the remarkable sue-
c "s attained by tiny liritibli airplauii
called motor gliders, One of these, u
siual! monophino fit led with H three
lior.su power engine, rceontly reached
u speed of 5.'! miles an hour during
tests near London. It clluibed to 2,350
feet, and, although in the air for an
hour and 20 minutes, Consumed less
tlinn a gallon of gasoline.
French aviation experts also are
perfecting similar "pocket-planes," in
tended for use by amateur aviators
and sporting enthusiasts. In England
« small "car with wings," capable of
carrying its owner through the air at
the speed of an express train with no
more power than is required by a mo
torcycle, has reached such a practical
stage that orders are being booked
for it by tiie public.
Itising out of small Olds and being
wonderfully controllable in the air,
these cheaply-run winged cars are to
be made to alight so slowly that the
risk of a crash on landing, even un
der' adverse clrcunistuncps, will be
practically eliminated. Furthermore,
such machines will he so handy on the
ground, anil their wings will fold so
neatly, that It will be possible to house
them In ordinary motor garages.
It Is expected (hat the owner of
one of these machines will be able to
make the trip from London to I'arls
and hark, sweeping high over the
channel and escaping all the Irrita
tions and delays of earth transport,
for about A movement Is now on
foot to get motor-garage proprietors
to set aside smooth-surfaced fields,
marked clearly so they can be seen
from above. In this way tlie drivers
of little "air cars." when on week-end

over the country, where they can de
scend and replenish their gasoline

ODD SEA ANIMAL
Soldier Crab and His Habits
Described by Writer.
Is a Terrible Glutton and Desperati
Fighter—Will Battle to the
Death for Home.
Of all the queer creatures that live i
•n the sea, there is none strur.ger than
the hermit crab, or the soldi ?r crab, 1
as lie Is son»tlmes called, says Mary 1
Dudderidge. The second name Is bet
ter than the first, for the hermit crab
Is neither pious nor dignlfie'', as a
hermit should be, and he does not live j
alone, as we shall see later lie -j,
on the contrary, a terrible glutton and !
a desperate fighter; for he lives In a
world of hungry creatures,' nil anxious
to eat and not to be eaten, and he
does not intend to be eaten If he can
by any means avoid it.
And In order that he sluill not he
eaten, it Is first of all nec ssary lb,,
lie shall get himself a hoti a. No'iir"
has been rather unkind to hlni, f r,
wiiiie all his cousins of the crab fvn
ily ore clad In coats of mall, and m . y !
of his neighbors In the set are able
to build themselves stron;- and beau
tiful houses, he has no tools with
which to build and no armor except
mi the front part of bis body. So
lie Is obliged to take refuge In a
strong tower that some one else has
built, and in his search for It, lie does
not trouble himself much about ques
tions of right find wrorg. If no ono
has a claim on the h. ise that he
wants, well and good; but In'any case,
he must have a safe place to live In. i
If, therefore, lie finds urv one in pos
session of the coveted stronghold, he
does not scruple, if the unfortunate
tenant is weaker than 1 iinself, to pull
him out and make a meal of him. If j
this tenant happens to be a brother :
hermit, there Is sure to be a royal
row. The pair sometimes fight to the !
death, and the victor may devour the j
vanquished. In many cases, however, j
It has been observed that the upshot j
of the fracas Is simply an exchange ;
of shells, the defeated party taking
possession of* the abandoned fortress j
of his enemy. And after all the fuss, ;
the victor very likely fli.Us that the j
new house does not suit him and he j
must look for another.
The hermit crab has n great fancy
for the shell of the whelk; but In
ruse of necessity he will lake 113 with
anything hollow, even an ild pipe or
bottle. When shells are plentiful,
however, he Is as particular im any
housekeeper looking for a llat. When
he finds an apartment that appears
satisfactory, he examines It very care
fully, holding It off at aim's length,
turning It around and poking his claws
inside. Having finally decided that It
will do, he comes out o' his old shell
and darts Into the new so quickly that
It Is almost Impossible to see him do
It, for he has no mind to expose his
soft body to the dangers of the sei..
lie hangs unto his old shell till he Is
sure the new one will do, and often
changes his abode several tiroes be
fore he Is satisfied.—St. Nicholas
Magazine.
