The new appli ance, which is really an adaptation of the principle of the bicycle to the old fashioned roller-skate, can be used on practically any ordinary road or foot path. It is furnished with ball bearings and pneumatic tires, and it will proba bly not be long before the Ingenious Inventor will contrive to introduce the principle of geared action, and thus still further Increase its resemblance to the bicycle. The new skate will indeed prove a very formidable competitor to all other forms of wheeling, since by its use one can combine all the pleasure of rapid traveling by means of one's own exertions, with a very small amount of preliminary trouble and a merely THK PNEUMATIC ROAD SKATK. nominal expense. It Is claimed that the skate may be safely used on both up and down grades as well as on the level roads, and that with very little practice a speed of ten or twelve miles an hour can be attained. It is highly probable that the new form of skating will be come as fashionable as cycling Itself, and it seems clear that a prosperous future awaits the conductor of an en terprise possessing such obvious advan tages from a commercial point of view. The skates can be folded for traveling and can be easily carried under the arm or like a small grip. Vegete ian Boots. Vegetarian boots are now advertised; the uppers are made of "pannus corl um," the soles of closely waterproofed flax belting. To show that the skins of slaughtered animals are not necessary the vegetarians say that "India rubber, gutta percha, steel and Iron aud brass nails, and brass caps, cashmere and cotton, elastic and webbing, wool and list, cork and ttraw, silk and jute, and even brown paper and wax go to form the modern mystery which still carries the old name of boot or shoe."

NOBLE 1 Conusor elal Bl'fc, rOBtXAWD, OB Latest U. S. Gov't Report LOCKWCOD DIDN'T LEAD. An Invitation to Pray Frightened the Imminent London Attorney, Many promineut lawyers In London are of an evangelistic turn of mind and employ their leisure by pulpit exer cises In whatever denomination they favor. Header Uarrls, a well-known queen's counsel, for instance, is found er and head of the obscure body known as the Tentecostal League, which la holding Its annual meetings in London this week. But the best known preach ing queen's counsel Is Samuel Waddy, a leading light among Methodists. .Mr. Waddy Is a good-humored old soul, of whom his brethren "learned in the law" like occasionally to make fun. Once when he was on a circuit with Mr. (now Sir) Frank Lock wood, that witty law yer determined to see how Waddy be haved In the pulpit. Accordingly, ac companied by a barrister friend. Mr. Lockwood visited the Methodist chapel where Waddy was to preach and took a prominent front seat. But Waddy espied them when he entered the pulpit, and, knowing their object, determined to get rid of them; so, after some pre liminary exercises, he rose and solemn ly said: "Brother Lockwood will lead the con gregation In prayer." "Brother" Lockwood's dismay may be better imagined than described. lie vanished from his seat quicker than thought, and no "Methody" chapel bas known his proud presence since. It Is not often that anyone scores off Lockwood. Generally It is the other way. Once he was engaged on the op posite side from Sir Charles Russell (now Lord Htissell of Killowen), who was trying to browbeat a witness into giving a direct answer, "Yes" or "Xo." "You can answer any question 'Yes' or 'Xo. " declared Sir Charles. "Oh, can you?" retorted Lockwood. "May I ask If you have left off beating your wife?" Of course Lord Russell Is not a wlfe beater, but he was fairly cornered. . If he said "Yes" ho admitted the practice; if he sa'd "Xo" the situation was still worse. He did not press the point with the witness. New York Mall and Ex press. Of English Orig n. Many so-called Americanisms are In reality archaisms of which the English origin Is forgotten. Tbe phase "let slide" is supposed to be an American ism, but students of English literature will call to mind the following stanza from Chaucer's "Clerkes Tale:" "I blame him not that he considers! nought In time coming what might him belittle. But on bis lust present was all his thought. And for to hauke and hunt on every side; wen nign ail other cores let be slide. Aud eke he n' old (and that was worst of all) ttedden no wif for ought that mliht Derail. The .term "I guess" was also used by Chaucer: "With him ther wan his sone, a younger squier. A lover Hnd a lusty bnvbeler. W ith locks cm lie as ther were lalde in presse. Of twenty year of age he wng I gesse." Americans have Itren criticized for ns Ing the word "homely" to express the absence of beautiful us a "homely girl for a "plain girl." An example of such usage may be found in Sliaks- peare: "Upon a homely object love can wink.' After alL life would be unbearable if everybody talked like a book. It is far better to use "Isms" than. In the words of an illustrious Irishman, to "hide one's nationality uuder a clonk of per sonal affectation." tipun Glass. A French chemist brought spun glass Into practical use alMiut fifty years ago, although the art of spinning glass was practiced long before that time, lie first succeeded in softening the hard, shiny effect of the glass fabric, giving il a silky effect that was much more pleas ing. Next he endeavored to reduce its brittleness by making a spun glass. whose threads were much liner than those of siik, ana wnose texture was much like that of wool. This glass could readily be woven and all kinds of articles were made of It. It was found especially suitable for surgical use, owing to Its antiseptic properties and Its cleanllne.su. The fact that glass Is unattacked by most acids made the fabric useful for laboratory filters, and nearly all well equipped establishments of the kind now use them. The cloth Is, beside, non-combustible and a poor con ductor of heat As tbe individual ilbers are perfectly non-absorbent, grease spots and stains can be readily removed. For this same reason tbe cloth cannot be dyed, but It can be spun of colored glass and the color Is abso lutely fast and unchanging. Saloonkeepers' Harvest. A great manufacturing company In Massachusetts recently paid their work men, on Saturday evening, 700 $10 bills, each bill being marked. By the follow ing Tuesday 410 of these marked bills were deposited In the bank by the sa loon-keepers of tbe town. Four thou sand, and one hundred dollars bad passed from the bands of the workmen on Saturday night and Sunday and left them nothing to show for this great turn of money but headaches and por erty In tbelr upmes. FERDINAND AUGUST BEBEU Distlnculahed Herman Who Fiercely Attacked Kmperor William. Ferdinand August BebcL who fierce attack In the German Parliament upon Emperor William It. on the occa sion of the debate relating to tbe cur tailment of the right of free assemblage has caused so much commotion lu Ger many, shares the leadership of the Socialist-Democratic party lu that country with Herr Llehkuecht Bebol Is In every sense a self-made niau. IIo was born Feb. 22. 1840, in Cologne, and received his early educatlou iu a vil lage school near timt city. I.ater on ho attended a grammar school In Wetslnr, and In 18(10 he removed to Lelpsle, where he established his own business, that of wood-tumor and carver, In 1804. Two years prior to that date he had Joined in the worklngmeu's move ment in Germnuy, and soon became ou of the most aggressive lenders In that cause. From 18(55 to 1S90. when he re moved to Berlin, Ileliel was president of the Worklugtnen's Educational Club lu Lelpsle and member of the peruin- nent Executive Committee of the Ger man Worklngmeu's Association, In 1807 he became Identified with the editorial management of the Volkstnat, a socialistic paper In Letpsic, and con tinued this connection until he became one of tbe managers of the Vorwaerts, the leading German socialistic dally published In Berlin. He was elected to the Xorth German Parliament In 1807 and to the German Parliament lu 1871. In the election of June, I5;i, he was even elected lu two districts, choosing the mandate from the Strnsburg ril trlct. From the lieginnlng of Bebel's Parliamentary career dates his uncom promising attitude against all monar chical Institutions. Bebel Is at pres ent treasurer of the Socialistic party in Germany, to which office he was elected in 1892. During the reorgani sation of the party, In 18!0, Rebel ad vocated parllamentarlnnlsm as the chief means of agitation, but In this be was opposed by the extremists f the party. He served as a delegate to the International socialist congresses In rarts,188i; Brussels, 1891; Zurich, 1893, and Breslan during the present year. On the latter occasion be made his fa mous speech, In which be said that so cialism would crush Imperialism, for which he has just been sentenced to six months' Imprisonment. Intelligence of the Beetle. Last week I came borne one night. and by accident opened the pantry. 1 was surprised at finding at least a hun dred big beetles scampering across the floor to escape Into their lair. I saw that they all disappeared down a cir cular hole In one corner of the closet Next night I sallied forth on a tour of extermination. I prepared a wooden plug to stop up the hole nnd a fiat cudgel with which to annihilate the critters. I approached the pantry with a lighted candle, opened the door sud denly, and before the roaches fully real ized my presence I bad their escape completely blocked. It was a sight worth seeing. Some of them were In the corner playing "Copenhagen." Some were In the center of the pantry playing "ring around rosy." When they saw the light they suddenly Interrupted tbelr sports and made a bee line for home. Astonishment was written on every lineament of their black bodies when they saw their escape cnt off, I set Uie candle on the floor and belabor ed rliem right and left with my weapon. Soon I had the floor strewn with corpses. All at once my light went out. A venerable looking, patriarchal sort of cockroach, realizing that the salva tion of bis family and relatives lay in darkness, had climbed up the candle end thrown himself across the flame, Like Arnold Winkelrled, be died in a trice, but before I could strike a match the last of the still living bugs bad found some secret means of exit and had disappeared. That's what I call Intelligence. I have that hero's body embalmed In my collection, and since that adventure I have the greatest re spect for roaches. When I want to ex terminate them now I treat them roy ally to 10 cents' worth of poison. Hon ton Post. The Southern Aurora, On Feb. 1, in latitude 66 degrees, longitude 172 degrees 81 minutes, we ran into open water again, having this time spent only six days in the ice puck On tbe 17th the aurora appeared, stron ger than I ever saw it in the north. It rose from the southwest, stretching in s broad stream np toward the zenith and down again toward tbe eastern hor izon. The phenomenon this time had quite a different appearance from what we saw on Oct 20. It now presented long shining curtains rising und falling in wonderful shapes and shades, some times seemingly closedown to onr mast beads. It evidently exerted considerable influence upon the magnetic needle of onr compass. C . Borchgrevink in Century. FERDINAND it'UPI BF.DKU A HUGE UNDERTAKING. Great Idea, of the Amerloaa Mueeam el Natural History. The trustees of the American Museum of Natural History in Mew York have decided to establish an anthropological exhibit, which will be one of the finest in the world. They propose to have groups of figures illustrating the indus tries, mode of life aud characteristics of every important race on the globe. This nudertukiug will require many years to complete, but the first gronp will be in place within two or three weeks. For some time past attaches of the museum have been out west tuking photographs and getting measurements of the various tribes of Indians In North America and on the north Puciflo coast. Plaster oasts have been taken of the faoes, hands aud feet of typical members of tbe tribes, and, together with the measurements and photographs, for warded to New York. These duta will enable the modolen to construct life size plaster figures, olothed in native dress. Dr. Front Boas, the anthropologist of tbe museum, has charge of the work and will arrange tbe figures into groups, each one representing as nearly as possi ble a scene from an Indiuu village, Boston Herald. Uttle Nick's Rnrprlae. The diploniatio representation of Nic aragua to tbe United States has been discontinued for the first time in many years, aud as a meiwnre of economy no legation will be maintained at Washing ton. This action is a matter of surprise to officials, owing to the importance of some of the questions, notably the ca nal, in which the United States and Nicaragua are mutually interested. Dr. Quzmnn bas presented his letters of recall to the state department and bas entered upon the praotioe of medi cine at his home, whioh was formerly the Nioaragnan legation. One Drawback. There's no such thing in this life as complete satisfaction. If a man bas no money, he is miserable, and if be has lots of it, it is next to impossible to In vest it remuneratively. There is no bus) Hess which is snre to pay, not even tbe bnsiness of stealing, bnt that's because there are so many persons in it, and there wonld be many more in it if the penitentiary did not prevent it from be ing open to everybody, and so be utter ly mined.
