DISAPPEARING OAR STEPS

Device that May Reduce the Numberof Street Railway Accident

A device that may lessen street car ac-

cidents while It overcomes the high step-a subject to which the car authoritieshave given much study during the lastthree years la to be tested by the boardoC supervising engineers of Chicago

The novelty of the Invention lies In thefact that the steps fold out of sight whenthe car Is In motion and become available only when the coach has come to afull stop The vestibule door at the frontend of payasyouenter cars remaininglocked until the car stops has served toprevent flipping and consequent mishaps It Is claimed that the disappearingsteps will do as much to assure safetyat the rear platform

As the steps are two in number the Inventor William R Henderson asserts Inthe Chicago Post that boarding and leaving cars will be made easy for personswho find the present ascent too strenuous They are folded under the car whenIt Is In motion being operated by a convenient lever and their greater projection will not cause collisions with thehubs of passing vehicles an objectionwhich twostep plans formerly offered

By an enlargement of the Idea of thedisappearing step a disappearing fenderalso Is proposed and this will be triedsimultaneously though It may be appliedindependently This fender when In action drops down till it rests upon therails small wheels or rollers supportingIt Ordinarily however It Is wholly outof sight under the car platform

Extending around the steel front of thecar near the ground and so designedthat It appears to be a part of It Is a

bumper If the car strikes a personthe pressure on the bumper automatical-ly releases the fender which drops with-a scooping motion aimed to catch upthe person hit and hold him safe fromcontact with the wheels It also may bereleased by the hand or foot of the motorman

BOAT LINE THAT PAYS

Denton Packet Company Doing GoodBusiness on Upper Hirer

The Benton Packet Company is runningboats between Bismarck S Dak and FortBenton Mont The people of Pearre SDak have raised money for the purchaseof a boat and the Benton steamboats arerun down there with some freight saysthe Omaha WorldHerald

Three counties In South Dakota thatborder the Missouri River have no rail-

roads at all an other places along theriver are far from a railroad This is avery fertile and productive countryThere are thousands of acres of lignitecoal There are six counties In NorthDakota through which the river runs andIn which there are no railroads

Four very large counties in Montanahave no railroads or at the most onlyIn one corner

It is on this section of the river thatthe Benton Packet Company has metwith such success It has three gaso-

line boats of 400 tons capacity fivesteamers of 600 and SOO tons capacityand nearly a score of barges

Captain Isaac P Baker the generalmanager of the company runs his boats

schedule time similar to a train Inhis office at Bismarck he can reach hisboats by telephone at the towns atwhich they stop and control their coursejust as a tram dispatcher does

Something of the possibility of MissouriRiver navigation is shown by statisticsfrom the Montana territory near theMissouri

Above Fort Benton tho river Is notnavigable as there Is a ninetyfoot falland high rock walls One of the largestsmelters In the world Is located atFans Mont above Fort Bentonthe power from the river

W A Campbell of the publicity department of the Omaha Commercial Clubhas been through this country knowsthe managers of the packet line and isfamiliar with conditions there

The first six months last year saidMr Campbell Hills road pulled Intothe territory along the Missouri River63000000 pounds of freight and pulledout 37000000 pounds of freight He collected for hauling this freight 353000

That Is 23 per capita for the six monthsthat Hill got from the people of thosefour counties Dawson Valley Fergusand Choteau I call that a pretty big

taxThe average water rates on the riversof the Old World and the Suez Canal Is8 of a mill per ton per mile Theaverage rate for Montana on the

per ton per mile Is 1965 millsIn North Dakota It Is 122 mills InSouth Dakota It Is 16 mills In theUnited States the average Is 73 millsper ton per mile

That shows the size of a tax the peo-

ple there are paying when the MissouriRiver is running right by their door

Mutual ComplimentsFrom TltBita

At certain church It Is the pleasingcustom at a marriage for the clergymanto kiss the bride after the ceremony Ayoung lady who was about to be married-In the church did not relish the prospectand Instructed her prospective husbandwhen making arrangements to tell theclergyman that she did not wish him tokiss her The bridegroom did as directed

Well George said the young ladywhen he appeared did you tell the cler-gyman that I did not wish him to kiss

meOh yesAnd what did he sayHe said that In that case he would

charge only half the usual fee

ORIGIN OF SPECTACLES

Mentioned in 1460 by Chinese butObtained from Traders

From Chambers JournalSpectacles do not seem to have been

known until about the year 1300 thoughof course men even In Roman times haddiscovered tho use of convex and concaveglasses to modify the sight and singlelenses of some sort were rounded ort B-Oas to fit In the eye without the supportof the hand

The Chinese who are usually supposed-to have Invented almost everything firstcertainly derived their knowledge ofspectacles from Europe most probablyfrom the Jews settled at KalfengFu-

The first certain mention spectaclesoccurs In a work published about A D1460 called Local Miscellanies Thepassage as follows

When I was at the metropolis that IsPekln staying at the house of a certainmilitary friend I noticed that his fatherwa In possession of an object presentedto him by the late Emperor d 1428 having the appearance of two disks of motherofpearl but very slender In bujk withrims of gold amplified into a sort of han

tmen whose eyes are too dim tomake out small writing place this objectIn front of the two eyes on which thesize Is magnified double or more

Moreover I have recently met withone at the house of one of tho assistantsecretaries of state and I tested It withIdentical results He said he had

It in exchange for a good horsefrom a western region trading Hu Mwanla and he understood Its name to be altalIt must be explained with reference

term Hu that It had been for manycenturies applied Indiscriminately to Syr-ians Persians and Tartars thewords western region however ex-clude Tartars and usually

The only known use the soundMwanla Is In reference to the Jewishmollahs mostly Persian who in theyear 1421 received some favors and pres-ents at the Emperors hands

The learned Shanghai priest Fr PJerreHoang a native Chinese thinks that thesyllables may represent the Portu-guese lunetea but besides being ratherfarfetched this derivation does not takeInto consideration that the Portuguesehad not yet for a century begun theirtrading career

Besides the first spectacles were madeIn Italy and It Is not Impossible thatMarco Polo had Introduced them IntoChina or more probably one of theItalian archbishops of Pekln

A later work called Rare Objects Ex-plained says that tha attal are as bIgas money disks of transparent sub
