RIDE PILLION ON MOTORCYCLE
Fair Rider Said to Be Deserting Sad--
die Horsea for the Faster
Gaited Machine.
Have you seen the "pillion girl"?
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 40-mile-an-hour clip-..
Despite the wide dissimilarity 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
lic, the New York Sun states.
It is not clear whether "general pub
lic" includes the pillion girl herself,
of whether the tenh comprises mere
ly the motorists of the opposite sex
whose eyes are unaccountably distract
ed from the road by the sight of a
pretty girl on the rear seat of a mo
torcycle, flaunting graceful, silk-clad
legs, her hair flying In the wind.
In any event, the committee reports
there is no appreciable amount of evi
dence to indicate that the practice Is
a source of danger to the general pub
lic. 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" la apparently safe from 9io
lestation. In fact, each year sees an
Increasing number of women operat
ing their own motorcycles.
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 conies 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
mantlc football. This game is at pres
ent In full vogue in Spain. Every
where young men are passionately ad
dicted to it, in Seville as elsewhere,
so that the young Sevllllans 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 a' serenade under
the balcony of his Dulclnea. If Rosina
opens-her window Alma viva will not
be there to declare to her his passion.
But lately, on Saturdays, the young
Sevllllans assembled and wandered
through the streets of the town sing
ing to the stars. Today they go to bed
early so as to be the next morning In
good form for their favorite game.
Services to Prevent Robberies.
Science, which has rendered us so
many services, has now attacked a
new problem. Inventors are pitilessly
hunting the burglars of Paris. Many
are now In search of means of defend
ing the stores and banks against crim
inal attacks.
One of these most curious Inven
tions consists of a pedal situated In
the Interior of the store. The burglar,
If 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 a re
volver. The weapon Is so placed that
when the attacked person facing the
burglar raises his arm9, the revolver
Is brought Into position for firing and
the act of raising his hands pulls a
string which discharges it.
Liner Delayed to Save Life.
The value that we set on human
life today has been dramatically Il
lustrated by an incident on the Atlan
tic ocf an.
An explosion In the engine-room
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 assistance.
. 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; It put 150 miles out of its
course and sent a lifeboat with the
ship's doctor. In It, 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.

HAVE SLANG ALL THEIR OWN
Phrases Introduced -by College Stu
dents Keep Modern Lexicogra
phers 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. It 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 I am ignor
ant." No one can blame a college presi
dent for being stumped by "snuggle
pupping." Only the youngest and most
alert lexicographers can hope to cope
with th campus vocabulary, and they
only If they take their duties very
seriously. " 'Necking,' " writes one of
the youngest and most serious of the
junior lexicographers, "Is a Harvard-Yale-Princeton
term, about six years
old, which has displaced 'petting'
aged about twelve years as a descrip
tion of what our grandslres used to
call 'spooning.'"
A rule that will be helpful to elders
groping among these complexities Is
to remember that, while there are
many terms in the campus lexicons,
there is only one topic. For "snuggle
pupping" and Its successors, look up
"spooning."
HER ENUNCIATION IN DANGER
Woman Was Beginning to Feel the
Strain of Prolonged Conversa
tion With "Foreigners"
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 a Westerner.
Each had acquired the accent of her
particular locality and the children of
the Southern couple had a perfect
Southern drawl, while the other sis
ter's children had the broad Western
accent. I
The effect was startling and the
Woman could scarcely follow the con
versation. It 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 uneon-
sciously affected the Southern diywl
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." Chicago Journal.
' The Forty Immortals.
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 1635.

ing the French institute, the other four
being L'Academie des Inscriptions
et Belles-Letters, L'Academie des
Sciences; L'Academie des Beaux-Arts,

Relics of Long-Past Age.
A large copper kettle and other rel
ics of a past age, believed by students
of archeology to have been buried
1,000 years, were unearthed recently
by Dr. H. C. Myers, professor of chem
istry at Whiteworth college, Spokane,
Wash., a 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 a piece of buffalo
skin. The copper was so old it had
changed to copper carbonate. This
chemical compound had been absorbed
by the skull, and it had served as a
preservative. A buckskin shirt also
was found in the kettle. A few beads
and some wampum also were secured
from the excavation."
The Ostrich in Africa.
Some tim ago the French authori
ties in western Africa undertook to
organize the breeding of ostriches in
the territory under theii 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. It 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.
The New Qualification.
"I presume there is no need of my
asking whether you are conversant

OASIS IN ARIZONA DESERT
What Has Been Done to Make Ajo, foi
Centuries an Arid Spot, "Blos
som Like the Rose."
West of the Santa Cruz and south
of the Gila 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 atractlve and artistic houses
of mission architecture, and broad ave
nues lined with palms. This has
been accomplished by providing a mil
lion gallons of water a day, which is
pumped from a 700-foot well eight
miles from town. The history of min
ing in the district is full of the ro
mance 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
gineering and Mining Journal-Press, it
was only after long experimentation
that a process adaptable to the treat
ment of complex ores was evolved.
The operating company provides a
school and hospital for benefit Of Its
employees and also runs a' profit-sharing
store. The camp is connected with
the railroads of the country by a
branch of the El Paso and Southwest
ern railroad. The mining claims and
the mill sites cover an area of 2,854
acres. The property affords a strik
ing and unusual example of what
American Industrial management can
accomplish under adverse climatic and
geographical conditions.
KNEW OF HEART'S FUNCTIONS
Papyrus Proves That Ancient Egyp
tian Physicians Were Fully Conver
sant With Important Organ.
Egyptian physicians in the days of
the Hebrew patriarchs knew the heart
is the center of a system, throughout
which its pulsations are felt They
performed operations, made diagnoses,
catalogued cases and verdfets, and
pursued investigations in a scientific
spirit, according to a study of the
Edward Smith papyrus made by Prof.
J. H. Breasted of the University of
Chicago. i
Professor Breasted declared the
ancient document lay in a coffin for
"some three and a half millenniums."
Pointing out that it was discovered
by an American, Edwin Smith, the
Chicago orientalist assefted it con
tained "Incomparably the most Impor
tant body of medical knowledge which
has survived to us from the ancient
Orient anywhere."
The passage about the heart reads
In part : "There is in it (the heart)
a canal leading to every member of
.the body. Concerning these, if the phy
sician places the fingers on the back
of the head, on the hands, on the
pulse, on the legs, he discovers the
heart, for the heart leads to every
member and it beats in the canals of
every member."
Wild Horses of Sable Island.
colonize Sable island in the Gulf of the
St. Lawrence,svhen Canada was New
France, there have been .a few domes
tic animals on that bleak spot, relics
of that ill-fated attempt. Some horses
were among them, probably survivors
of shipwrecks, for Sable island is a
dangerous place and bears the name
of the Graveyard of the Gulf, from
the number of gallant ships which
found their end thereabouts. The
horses multiplied and developed Into a
rough hardy little breed of ponies.
More than one hundred of these
wild native ponies perished during the
last winter, the government steamer.
Lady Laurier, reported the other day
when she arrived from a trip to the
Atlantic graveyard. The covering of
the island grass by drifting snow dur
ing a stormy winter was declared re
sponsible for the deaths. It Is likely
that another such winter will put an
end to this unique little horse cotony.
Detroit Has a Kite Day.
Kite day has become an annual !
event in, Detroit. So popular has it
become that competitors in the ever.t

were divided into two sections. Tl-nie

flouted their kites in Plngree park and
those who live west competed In
Woodward park. The East side con
test was particularly thrilling because
it was participated in by Chinese.
Korean and Filipino boys. Oriental
peoples are the most expert makers
and flyers of kites in the world, ac
cording to the Survey. This fascin.it

Important ritual significance.
Metal Turned Into Gas.
Two professors at Chicago uni
versity claim to have succeeded In
turning a .metal, tungsten, Into gas,
helium. Between 50,000 and 60,000 de
grees of heat were needed for the ex
periment. This Is the highest temper
ature ever known. The temperature of
molten steel is 2,000 degrees. That of
the sun is 9,000 degrees, while some
of the hottest stars are 30,000 degrees.
One hundred thousand volts of elec
tricity were discharged at a high
speed through a fine tungsten wire.
The wire exploded with a deafening
report and a flash two hundred times
brighter than sunlight and decom
posed Into gas.

WOULD SAVE THE SONGBIRDS
Associated1 Audubon Societies Have
Planned a General Campaign
Throughout the South
A general campaign for the better
protection of songbirds is to be con
ducted throughout the South by the
Associated Audubon Societies, a na
tional organization. T. Gilbert Pear
son, president of the organization, who
has been studying southern bird life,
deplores evidence he has found which
indicates that bird mortality In the
South has about wiped out valuable
species in many localities. Iu South
Carolina he found conditions in this
respect very distressing, while a sur
vey in Texas revealed fi similar situa
tion. But his indictment covers the en
tire South, and hence the campaign
in contemplation is to Include all the
southern states. Mr. Gilbert directed
the attention of farmers to the fact
that the fight against the boll weevil
Is being greatly handicapped by the
slaughter of birds. In this connection
he said further: y
"While they feed on insects and do
not specialize on boll .weevils, a single
songbird will destroy great quantities
of weevils. The value- of these birds iu
checking the mulsiplicatlon of insects
Is thoroughly understood all through
the North, where the laws protecting
birds are observed. In most sections of
the North a farmer would prosecute
anyone killing songbirds on his lands.
But In many parts of the South the
farmers, his sons and the hired men
kill birds constantly, eatingthe robin
and some of the other larger varieties
and shooting many of the smaller va
rieties for sport." New Orleans
Picayune. '
QUESTION FOR LAW SHARKS
Nice Point Concerning Ownership of
Pearl Which Cook Discovered
in Cam She Was Eating.
A nice qujstion of ethics and of
law is raised by the case of the cook
at Atlantic City who choked on a pearl
found in a clam she was 'eating and
whose mistress then claimed the
precious obstruction for her own.
In the diamond mines of the Rand
'at Kimberley the native workman who
swallows a diamond does not, ipso
facto, make it his own. He digs in
the blue clay on the understanding
that every jewel discovered ' belongs
to the De Beers Mining company, Ltd.
But the cook was in a different situa
tion. She was given her food as a
part of her compensation. The pearl
is an excrescent part of the clam; it
is the picturesque result of a diseased
condition.
. If possession Is nine-tenths of the
law, then the cook is entitled to the
pearl on the principle -of "findings is
keepings." In any case, the lady of
the house would be entitled to boast,
as many a mistress has asserted. "I
have a pearl in niy cook !" Phila
delphia Public Ledger.
Conrsncyt
Eileen was annoyed ; she felt the
family honor had been badly stained.
It was Dora's fault, so she spoke to
her abotlt it.
"It's no use denying it, Dora. Al
though it was too dfrk for me to see
who it was, I distinctly saw some
man kiss you In the garden."
Dora was modern, and didn't appre
ciate her sister's argument.
"I don't see why," she said "I've
often seen George kiss you."
"Oh, that's different. I'm engaged
to George. I allow nobody but him to
kiss me." v
"Exactly," said Dora. "I allow no
body but George to kiss me!"
