return made to the city In time for the performances at the different theaters DISAPPEARING OAR STEPS Device that May Reduce the Number of Street Railway Accident A device that may lessen street car ac- cidents while It overcomes the high step- a subject to which the car authorities have given much study during the last three years la to be tested by the board oC supervising engineers of Chicago The novelty of the Invention lies In the fact that the steps fold out of sight when the car Is In motion and become availa ble only when the coach has come to a full stop The vestibule door at the front end of payasyouenter cars remaining locked until the car stops has served to prevent flipping and consequent mis haps It Is claimed that the disappearing steps will do as much to assure safety at the rear platform As the steps are two in number the In ventor William R Henderson asserts In the Chicago Post that boarding and leav ing cars will be made easy for persons who find the present ascent too strenu ous They are folded under the car when It Is In motion being operated by a con venient lever and their greater projec tion will not cause collisions with the hubs of passing vehicles an objection which twostep plans formerly offered By an enlargement of the Idea of the disappearing step a disappearing fender also Is proposed and this will be tried simultaneously though It may be applied independently This fender when In ac tion drops down till it rests upon the rails small wheels or rollers supporting It Ordinarily however It Is wholly out of sight under the car platform Extending around the steel front of the car near the ground and so designed that It appears to be a part of It Is a bumper If the car strikes a person the pressure on the bumper automatical- ly releases the fender which drops with- a scooping motion aimed to catch up the person hit and hold him safe from contact with the wheels It also may be released by the hand or foot of the mo torman One

Mont The people of Pearre S Dak have raised money for the purchase of a boat and the Benton steamboats are run down there with some freight says the Omaha WorldHerald Three counties In South Dakota that border the Missouri River have no rail- roads at all an other places along the river are far from a railroad This is a very fertile and productive country There are thousands of acres of lignite coal There are six counties In North Dakota through which the river runs and In which there are no railroads Four very large counties in Montana have no railroads or at the most only In one corner It is on this section of the river that the Benton Packet Company has met with such success It has three gaso- line boats of 400 tons capacity five steamers of 600 and SOO tons capacity and nearly a score of barges Captain Isaac P Baker the general manager of the company runs his boats schedule time similar to a train In his office at Bismarck he can reach his boats by telephone at the towns at which they stop and control their course just as a tram dispatcher does Something of the possibility of Missouri River navigation is shown by statistics from the Montana territory near the Missouri Above Fort Benton tho river Is not navigable as there Is a ninetyfoot fall and high rock walls One of the largest smelters In the world Is located at Fans Mont above Fort Benton the power from the river W A Campbell of the publicity de partment of the Omaha Commercial Club has been through this country knows the managers of the packet line and is familiar with conditions there The first six months last year said Mr Campbell Hills road pulled Into the territory along the Missouri River 63000000 pounds of freight and pulled out 37000000 pounds of freight He col lected for hauling this freight 353000 That Is 23 per capita for the six months that Hill got from the people of those four counties Dawson Valley Fergus and Choteau I call that a pretty big taxThe average water rates on the rivers of the Old World and the Suez Canal Is 8 of a mill per ton per mile The average rate for Montana on the per ton per mile Is 1965 mills In North Dakota It Is 122 mills In South Dakota It Is 16 mills In the United States the average Is 73 mills per ton per mile That shows the size of a tax the peo- ple there are paying when the Missouri River is running right by their door Mutual Compliments From TltBita At certain church It Is the pleasing custom at a marriage for the clergyman to kiss the bride after the ceremony A young lady who was about to be married- In the church did not relish the prospect and Instructed her prospective husband when making arrangements to tell the clergyman that she did not wish him to kiss her The bridegroom did as di rected Well George said the young lady when he appeared did you tell the cler- gyman that I did not wish him to kiss meOh yes And what did he say He said that In that case he would charge only half the usual fee The Judge in Danger From the London News Prisoner at the bar said the portly pompous and florid magistrate you are charged with stealing a pig a very serious offense In this district There has been a great deal of pigstealing

Washington s New York ORIGIN OF SPECTACLES Mentioned in 1460 by Chinese but Obtained from Traders From Chambers Journal Spectacles do not seem to have been known until about the year 1300 though of course men even In Roman times had discovered tho use of convex and concave glasses to modify the sight and single lenses of some sort were rounded ort B- Oas to fit In the eye without the support of the hand The Chinese who are usually supposed- to have Invented almost everything first certainly derived their knowledge of spectacles from Europe most probably from the Jews settled at KalfengFu- The first certain mention spectacles occurs In a work published about A D 1460 called Local Miscellanies The passage as follows When I was at the metropolis that Is Pekln staying at the house of a certain military friend I noticed that his father wa In possession of an object presented to him by the late Emperor d 1428 hav ing the appearance of two disks of moth erofpearl but very slender In bujk with rims of gold amplified into a sort of han t men whose eyes are too dim to make out small writing place this object In front of the two eyes on which the size Is magnified double or more Moreover I have recently met with one at the house of one of tho assistant secretaries of state and I tested It with Identical results He said he had It in exchange for a good horse from a western region trading Hu Mwan la and he understood Its name to be al talIt must be explained with reference term Hu that It had been for many centuries applied Indiscriminately to Syr- ians Persians and Tartars the words western region however ex- clude Tartars and usually The only known use the sound Mwanla Is In reference to the Jewish mollahs mostly Persian who in the year 1421 received some favors and pres- ents at the Emperors hands The learned Shanghai priest Fr PJerre Hoang a native Chinese thinks that the syllables may represent the Portu- guese lunetea but besides being rather farfetched this derivation does not take Into consideration that the Portuguese had not yet for a century begun their trading career Besides the first spectacles were made In Italy and It Is not Impossible that Marco Polo had Introduced them Into China or more probably one of the Italian archbishops of Pekln A later work called Rare Objects Ex- plained says that tha attal are as bIg as money

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

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
