Such incidents pleasingly diversify what eta ntiltl soon beconv a monotonous sport and give great' tet to the) exhilaration protluced by rapid flijttit. ..To treat this disease ef fw'tivrly it ia necessary first to catch your 1 patient, an excoetlinjily difficult thing to do. Happily, however, a genius in a Chicago suburb has devised a plan which gives great promise in respect to stopping the headlong flight of the ma chines and bringing their drivers into that reasonable condition of mind iu which they can be argued with by jxv licemcn and court and the only remedy can be applied a good stiff fine, in the first place, followed later by solitary confinement and a regimen conducive to the simple life. His plan consists in constructing a bump at every crossing. These bumps, made of bricks, will be six inches high at the highest point with a sharp slope permitting the easy pa sage of vehicles at ordinary speed. But they are so skillfully constructed that when a motor takes them at a flying j speed they , will lling the occupant out and cause him to execute tlmt lovely parbolic curve which gives him so much As the bumps are to 1 placed at every street or road intersection, it is maintained that the frequency of his involuntary jam! unexpected flights through the air to the roadside will cool hi ardor, life will once more be made safe upon the highway and policemen will not lie re duced to the rude necessity of using their revolvers. "Bumping the bumps," in sjiort, is put forth as an effective cure for rnotormania. . Whether it really will do all that is claimed for it mav !be doubted, .but the inventor of the 1 first. Crippled by the telegraphers' strike to such extent that traffic is utterly de moralized, the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railways are resorting to the use of the "telephone for train dispatching.

The region tapped by the proposed road is at pres ent very sparsely populated, due to the fact tfiat no railway has offered a means of marketing the agricultural products that could be raised on the very fertile soil which abounds and lack of facili ties for the transportation of timber, probably the chief resource of the dis trict. -Some liave availed themselves of the opportunity to use the steamers which ply between Coos Bay and coast points, but these means are necessarily limited.

New diseases call for new remedies, and scarcely had a London physician named and described the new disease, rnotormania, which is making such rav ages everywhere, when what promises to be an effective remedy was diseov- I tred. As shown by the di-icoverer, pa- tients afflicted with this dire malady j are possessed of an all consuming desire j to travel swiftly through space, and one of its most deplorable effects is that after it has run unchecked for a time it makes them regardless of law, of human suffering and even of human life. It is true that the patients usual ly give notice of their approach by a '"honk, bonk" though even that precau tion is often neglected but they seem to regard any accidents, or even fatali ties, occurring after their signal as the victim's fault and frequently leave him to his fate without so much as stop ping and pretending to take an interest in such a slow moving creature.
