AUTOMOBILE INVASION.
army/ It is to be done by means of
automobiles, says a Paris correspond-
ent of the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une. If war with Germany were to be
declared tomorrow, the only thing that
would prevent the famous cry of "On
to Berlin!" becoming this time a
prelude to a sweeping success is the
lack of horseless carriages. Filed away
;in the intelligence department's recep-
tacle for documents and maps of the
•.greatest importance to the republic is
a complete plan for a horseless car-
riage campaign, with Berlin for its ob-
jective point.
It has been ascertained through
agents of the department who base
scoured the country and made in-
quiries in every town, village and ham-
let of France that there are just 3,103
automobiles in the country, including
the public conveyances, delivery wag-
ons and private carriages of individu-
als.
Each of these conveyances would
bold at least four persons. At a pinch,
and pinches are the essence of the con-
tract in time of war, six or eight or
even ten roen could be crowded into
an automobile constructed to carry
emly four. This means that a maxi-
mum of 30,000 and a minimam of 15,-
000 men could be rushed over the
frontier In a few hours with arms, am-
munition and camping equipment.
'Such an army, unless the plan of the
intelligence department proves In prac-
tice to possess flaws that the theorists
have not provided against, would be
more formidable than any body of
cavalry could be. for at its highest
'speed the • automobile can easily beat
'the horse and besides does not get
tagged out.
The only weak point that the cafe
erenerals have so far. after two whole
days' eager discussion of. the proposi-
tion, been able to find in the horseless
e-arriage plan of campaigning., is that
automobiles must. keep to the roads,
and by blocking these the eneriV could
very easily stay the progress of the
horseless army. Cavalry would be
able to surmount such obstacles or get
:around by taking to the fields.
The answer of the experts to this °la
jectien is that the automobile is merely
intended to convey the army as far and
as quickly as possible. It would. it is
'claimed, move so fast that before or-
ganized opposition could block its way
the army would be already far advanc•
,ed in the direction of the German capi-
tal. At the first sign of a check the
-soldiers woulcl pour out of the automo-

There would be no necessity for going
into camp at night. The soldiers would
aleep and eat in the conveyances, and,
there being, no horees, there would be
no one to consider but the men. It

The feast of the dragon, most splen.

monies, is to be celebrated in San Fran-
cisco in June on a grand and gorgeous
scale. The Celestials have outlined a
programme of magnificent display, the
like of which has never been seen ex-

Yow, the progressive consul general of
the imperial Chinese government, has
requested the American people to par-
ticipate in the affair.
It is but fitting, says the San Fran-
cisco Examiner, that the gateway
through which the conanierce between
the Brobdingnagian nation of Asia and
the young giant oil the new world has

of the celebration of the patron deity
of China, the dragon, the source of all
wisdom, the ruler of the destinies of
her people, the god at whose caprice

Eduituranee of the 3loose,
While the peculiar pacing gait of a
moose will not carry him over the
ground as rapidly as the deer or cari-
bou, his endurance far surpasses that
of either of these animals. For a
short spurt or 'in very deep snow the
caribou can easily discount the
moose, but for an all day's jaunt,
where' the course is fairly open, the
moose has no rival.
Many years ago, when Sir Edmund
Head was Governor of the province,
he owned a tame moose that perform-
ed remarkable feats of speed and en-
durance. On one ,occasion the Gov-
ernor wagered £500 that his moose
could tilavel from Frederickton to
St. John over the ice, a distance of
84 miles, in faster time than any
team of horses in the stud of Lord
Hill of the Fifty-second regiment. A
sledge was attached to the moose and
another to the horses. The river ice
• was Covered with about eight inches
of snow. The start was made oppo-
site the govemnent house at S o'clock
in the morning. In seven hours the
moose and his driver were in Market
sqUare, St. John. Lord Hill's team
was distanced, one of his horses ex-
piring at Gagetown and the other
reaching St. John -three .hours behind
the moose.—Lewiston Journal.

have made a discovery, I have
found and studied the very prettiest,
happiest and in its anambitious way
.he most prosperous small town I
ever saw. 1 have seen there aa al-
most ideal oaject lessoe in the muni
cipal ownership of public ventures.
The town is Vevay, Ind. It, lies on
the Oaio rivet', about midway be-
tween Cincinnati and Louisville. I
was beset there, and I have been re-
visiting the town alter an absence of
15 years.
The county of which Vevay is the
seat has not one foot of railroad
within its borders, The town has no
factories. And yet its people, less
than 8,000 in number, are enviably
well to do. They have two banks
and three prosperous weekly newspa-
pers. Their homes are all comfort-
able, and many of them lugui.aous.
They have a courthouse that would
do credit, in its architecture and its
Proportions, to a town 20 times the
size of Vevey.
Their main thoroughfare, leading
down to tae river, and the broad
wharf or levee at its foot are well
paved" with stone. All their other
streets are maeadamized after the
best modere methods and are kept in
perfect order. So are all the , main
country roads that lead out from
the town into the rich and highly
cultivated farming regions round
about.
In all the residence streets there are
perfectly laid and perfectly kept side-
walks of artificial stone. Everywhere
the sidewalks are free even from dust
and the streets clean enough to satis-
fy the demands of a Waring. They are
bordered on either side with stately
sycamores, tall elms and. broad
spreading maples—all jealously cared
for by the municipal authorities.
In addition, there is an adequate
water syatem supplying water in lav-
ish abundance for all uses. There is a
telephone system with astonishingly
cheap rentals—so cheap that almost
every house of any consequence has
an instrument in it—and with long
distance connections to (iincienati,
Louisville, Indianapolis and all towns
between at rates of charges that
would seem impossibly low to New
York victims of the telephone mon-
opoly's extortion. For example, it
cost me 20 cents to talk to friends
in Madison, 20 miles away,and only
40 cents, if my expense memoranda
are correct, to communicate with
N Still further, there is an electric
light plant which furnished light so
cheaply that no gas company can
exist in the town.
The municipal tax rate of a people
who enjoy all these beeefits—the well
made and well kept streets, the
smooth, artificial stone sidewalks.
the abundant water supply, the trees
which make the whole towel a park,
the telephone and electric lightcon-
veniences and all the rest. of it—is
only 3. per cent., ancl the growing
profits of the municipality from the
telephone and electric light plants
promise within a year or two to re-
duce even that tax by one-half.
All this is the result of the muni-
cipal ownership of public utilities,
under the vigilant scrutiny of an
alert public opinion, acting in per-
fect harmony for the public good.
The town's ownership of the profit-
able utilities has enabled it to pro-
vide the comforts and to create the
beauty, from which there is no di-
rect profit, without imposing more
tlian the very lightest tex burden
upon the people. The total munici-
pal debt is only $70,000, with an in-
terest, charge of less than $3,500, and
both are diminishing at a rate which
will esctingusih them within a brief
period.
"But what about politics?" I ask-
ed. "Suppose a gang of rascals
elioulcl get control of your city gov-
ernment?"
"They never can," was the answer.
"Every man of us makes it a part of
his personal business to prevent that.
We have party nominations for muni-
cipal offices of course, but everybody
in both parties feels that no man
should be nominated for local office
in,whose handswe cannot confidently
trust the control of these vital in-
terests of the community. No such
man ever is nominatedin fact, and
if by chance any such should be his
own party would leave him without
any votes to count when the polls
close. We cannot afford any such
mistakes as that, and we all know
Under' the system of municipal own-
ership it has been the care of every
citizen that all works of construction
should be well done, at honest prices,
with no "rake off" for anybody. No-
thing has been undertaken by the
municipal authorities till a commit-
tee of the wisest citizens of both par-
ties has thoroughly investigated me-
thods and counted the cost. Then the
authorities have adopted the methods
found by the committee to be best,
and in no instance, I am told, has
the cost of any work exceeded the
committee's estimate.
So far as possiine local labor alone
has been employed in tho construction
of public works, \vital doeble ad-

labor is cheap, and its earnings are

There is no sech thing as pauperism

Physicians in South Africa, now
have another theory for explaining
away the charges made by both Bri-
ton and Boer that the other is using
explosive bullets. The extensive le
cerati on often found in bullet wounds
is now said to be due to the a ii-
avhich the bullet drives before it in to
the wound. The existence of thia
phenomenon can be proved enaily. 3.1
a round bullet be dropped into a
glass of water from the height of a
few feat, it -will be seen that -Nvheir
the bullet touches the bottom. a large
bubble of air will become detached
and rise to the surface. In this case`
the bubble 'will usually be from 10 to
20 times the size of the bullet.
New, a Mauser bullet traveling at
high, speed is said to carry before it
a bubble of compressed air of large
dimensions. Eeperiments made by a -
surgeon who fired a pistol ball into
-
a glass of Nvater showed the bubble
to be 100 times the size of the ball.
From the appearance of the woundw
and from these experiments it is con-
cluded that the mass of air drivem
by a Mauser bullet explodes in the
body of the wounded man with suffi-
cient force to cause extensive lacera-
tion. This destructive air bubble is -
well known to surgeons wider the
name of projectile air.
