Having retained cable cars so long, Edinburgh is in a position to take the lead with a system of public tran- sit that has been perfected since most cities adopted the overhead trolley. Its committee of city officials has in- vestigated self-propelled cars, and they report that such cars have reached a stage where they are trustworthy, safe, and suitable for street traffic. While the first cost is greater, this is counterbalanced by savings in tram- line construction, l+onductors, over- head or conduit work, and the absence of a central generating station. An- other suggestion brought out by this inquiry is that of abolishing rails in public roads, and using the self -pro-• pelted car on the ordinary highway. With cars that are simple and efficient in control and drive, and fairly noise- less in working, this plan has interest- ing possibilities even if not favored for general adoption. - Dog as Fireman, The Surbiton Fire Brigade have a pet dog, Toby, who has been thor- oughly trained in every branch of firemen's work. When an alarm of fire is given Toby turns out at once, and as soon as the engine is made ready he climbs the ladder and takes his seat by the side of the firemen. He will run up an escape when placeda the side of the house and go t in by the window to see what he can find. When a jumping -sheet is held out below Toby knows at once that i to jump intoi .He he s t has been P trained how to put out fire. When n newspapers are set alight Toby will extinguish thg flames with his mouth and his paws. He jumps into tanks $ Water Also, to rescue artioles lying at the bottom. Australia's Thrift. Referring to the savings banks in Australia, Sir George Reid said tha other day that the population of Aus- tralia was about 4,760,000 men, women and children, and there were amore than 1,600,000 separate accottnts in the savings banks. There was ono aoeount for every three of the men, women, and children of Australia. The money .jeposited had gone up at a tremen- ttoiis rate during the last ten years; the increase had been, he thought, something Iike 100 per cent, Thi ' not only a sign of prospa •ity,"tint of the best kind of prd?3perity --that which `reached t le• great masses of the' *irking.' population of the eomintry, '' A B,ig Harvester, Mammoth oil -driven harvester that is being tried out on Australatn Wheat fields strips dont 00 acres a day, •.

THE BREADFRUIT TREE. Ito Meat When Cooked Tastes Like Mashed Potatoes and Milk. One of the gifts of the eastern trop - Ica to the western Is the breadfruit, which is now extensively planted In the West Indies, This can bo done only by cuttings, as the cultivated va- riety develops no seeds. In the wild form the chestuutiike seeds, are eaten,; but the pulp Is disregarded. The tree is of moderato height, but spreads a broad crown of large, ragged edged,. glossy leaves, making an excellent shade. The fruit, which Is a compound of, the massive clusters of blossoms, 10, about the size of a cocoabut and is in- cased ncased in a rough rind. This, when baked in bot embers or in an oven,' broken open and scooped out with a spoon, tastes like mashed potatoes and milk or like sweet bread, which It also. resembles in appearance. 1t is a little fibrous toward the center, but else- where is quite smooth and "puddingy." Sometimes a curry or stew is made of It, and it goes well as a vegetable with meat or gravy. "With sugar, milk, butter or treacle," Wallace wrote, "it is a delicious pudding, having a very, slight but delicate and characteristic flavor, which, like that of good bread and potatoes, one never gets tired of."•i It is also highly nutritious. The genus (artocarpus) contains sera eral species, one of which, the jacks fruit, is also cultivated for eating. The!, timber of the tree is also useful, the bark can be prepared for a Hort of cloth and the sap forms, when boiled with oil, a mucilaginous llquld very; useful for making the seams of wood en pails, canoes and the like water tight —Harper'° Weekly. EMERSON IN OLD AGE. \ • i Even His Failing Memory Could Not Mar Hia Amiability. In Dr. J. I. Rosmer's "The Lase Leaf," there is a pathetic picture oi! Emerson in his old age, when his mem- ory emory bad failed while his other faculties remained strong: "I had aa a fellow,., guest a man who had long been inti- mate with him and whom be was very glad to see. Talking after tea in the library, Emerson said: 'I .want to tell you about a friend in Germany. Hied name I cannot remember,' and he moved to and fro uneasily in his effort to recall it. 'This friend with whom) we have taken tea tonight, whose name also I cannot remember'—here again came a distressed look at the failure of his faculty—'I cannot re- member his name either, but he can tell you of this German friend whose name 1 have also forgotten.' "It was a sorrow to bee the breaking down of a great spirit and his agita- tion ns he was conscious of his wan- ing power. And yet, so far as I could see, it ^{vas only the memory that was going. The intellectual strength was still apparent, and the amiability of. his spirit was perhaps even more man- ifest than in the years when.he was in. the full possession of himself. "This came out in little things. fie was overanxious at the table lest the hospitality should come short, troubled about the supply of butter and apple sauce, and soon after I saw him on his knees on the hearth taking care, that the fire should catch the wood to abate the evening coolness that was gathering in the room." The Rooks and the Seagulls. A Dover correspondent reports a cue pious incident which was witnessed at a farm at Elms Vale, on the confines of the borough. A flock of seagulls fly- ing inland had taken possession of a newly sown field and were pecking away, when a still more numerous flock of rooks swooped down and at- tacked the gulls. The rooks, being about two to each gull, flapped and rushed the gulls until they withdrew, to a field some distance off. The vic- torious rooks then proceeded to enjoy themselves in the field, having first set what were apparently sentries along the side of the field. It was amusing to watch these sentries hustling away any gull which strayed too near. It has been noted by naturalists that this setting of sentries is In accordance with the habits of rooks.—London By- stander. • The Drink That Was Called Robur. About forty years ago there was ad- vertised on London billboards a drink called Robur, said to be good for every ailment and, incidentally, the long sought after elixir of life. One was invited to send for free samples, and its marvelous properties were the sub- ject of everybody's conversation.

Seely stated in the British house recently that as few docked horses as possible were purchased for the army, and an order had been is. sued that from three years after this date no docked horses will be purehas- ed by the military authorities.
