The Franklin Sedan ? ' jt ? ' * ? Distances seem one-third less when rid ing in the Franklin Sedan because its light weight and flexible construction minimize road roughness, and conceal its real speed from the occupants. , i ... One natural result of this is that persons who drive and ride in , the Franklin Sedan are never as fatigued by a long trip as experi ence with other cars has led them to expect. They do not hes itate, therefore, to undertake longer journeys than they ever dared to attempt before. . . . . i And when the owner consults his gasoline and tire mileage, he finds, as proof of the unusual economy effected by, exclusive Franklin principles, these actual results: 20 / f tiles to the gallon of jyi sot 'ine 12)500 miles to the set of tires 50% slower yearly depreciation Winter or summer, jhe Franklin Sedan never needs extra atten tion, because it is direct air cooled, and has no water to boil or freeze. It can be used the year around, regardless of weather. It is attractive and convenient in structure. Its Wide Observa tion Windows give unobstructed outlook; its two Wide Doors increase riding view and facilitate entrance; its Slanting V-shaped Windshield adds tine lines and broadens driving vision. Together with the Sloping French-style Flood, these features distinguish it at once from the ordinary car. GEORGE T. LITTLE, Camden, S. C. MIC. II. M.

A dry battery utilising red lead, In stead of the usual manganese com pound, has been patented by H. Czanyl. It Is claimed that the red lead battery larts longer than the type now In vogue, may be kept Inactive for months without any deterioration and may be re^harfad at least ten times, with each recharge aa efficient as any praa ant battery. ? * ... w Rat Skins for Leather. The suggestion has been made that the rat problem might be best solved by tnuking use of t lie skins of the rodents for the purpose of leather. Somebody with the gift of guessing computes that there are 10,000.000 in this country, and the damage they do would feed a good-sized army. It would take at least 5,000 skins a day to supply a small modern tannery. Nobody wants the rats, they belong to anybody that can catch them. That Is the problem ? to cntch them, and then deliver the goods. There is not enough leather to go around. Fish skins are suscepttble of tan ning. and there are rat skins whicR make good leather, large enough for many purposes. Cure for Poison Ivy. Mrs. Kvelyn S. Trenbath, wife of the Rev. Robert W. Trenbath, rector of St. James's Kpiscopal church of Montclalr, N. J., has conferred a boon on suffer ers from poison Ivy by announcing a remedy which those who have tried It say Is a most eflicarious remedy. It If, simply the green leaves of common catnip rubbed on fho affected parts un til the Juice runs. This never falls. Mrs. Trenbath snys. no matter how advanced the case may bo, and Is simple to use. especially in the case of children. The plant grows usually In great abundance behind old bnrns, and Is said to be so antagonis tic to the Ivy thnt if planted near it the Ivy disnppears. Volcano That Emits Lavs. The following Is reported by an ob server In Hawaii : Tremendous changes are In progress at Kllauea, and there Is no Indication whatsoever of nny cessation of the monumental rising of the entire vast lava column. Over the southwest brink a wide stream of glistening lftva is sluggishly flowing in the direction of the Kftlu desert, not with the spectacular cas cading torrents of the southeastern flows of last March, but with a steady, stealthy gliding, which gains ground slowly at its ba#e, but which piles up Into tremendous masses from Its ?ource forward. GHOST STORIES VARY LITTLE Invariably Only Two Element* at the v Bam of Japaneee Tale* of tho Supernatural. 4 The element* at the base of the jtioat story <?i Japanese thought are 1 1 tuple They are feiir und auger, two emotions not sepa cable, the <wio Imply* 1 1 ik the other and formfttg a single mo tive- --a fact perhaps true throughout the rule of the exercise of these two passions. , . They deal with men ami women, nod are complete novels of everyday life. Of the ptt$t, there la the carefully preserved^' traditional treatment, as accurate as the delight i'ii I reproduction of old-time costumes and old-time life found in the long lllie of artists of the brush, whether in painting or literature. Hut thin Is u t rait of the race, so eminently Riven to minute detail in featuring lis environment. Its preju dices are instanced lit the great Impor tance and strict Injunction as to ob servance and practice of long-time cus* .torn, In the ready reference of divers ills to old superstitions always upper most In the popular mind, some wide ly spread, others severely local. ?. . . With all the varied detail and confu sion of plot, the stories are all cast in the sit lira rigid lines. In general terms '-one read, all have been read. This can he attributed to the essential same ness found throughout Japanese social life. The ghost Itself Is to be men tioned. It Is an unworshlped spirit,, or, owing to some atrocious Injury In life, It stays to wander the earth and to se cure vengeance on the living perpetra tor. The mind concentrated in its hate and malice at the last moment of life secures to the spirit a continued and unhappy sojourn among the living un til the vengeance be secured, the grudge satisfied and the spirit pacified. There are other unhappy conditions of this revisiting of life's scenes; as when the dead mother returns to nurse her infant, or the dead mistress to console a love. Vengeance satisfies the grudge, time assuages grief; but the ghost can err by excess and find no easy pacifica tion. The most strenuous efforts of any but the salntliest of men are without success in the redemption. In the case of Sjflnen, the reprobate cleric yet stalks the earth In spite of the prayers of generations of sinners and sinless, offered at the Suwa shrine; an Instance of malignant persistence rare even in the ghostly annals of Nippon. ?

Writing on the probable antiquity of mosquitoes, as shown by the geo logical record, Prof. T. D. A. Cockrell of the University of Colorado, states that the oldest forms positively identi fied as belonging to the genus Culex or other genera of the mosquito fam ily have been found In Eocene rocks, and are probably about two million years old. A form known as Culex damnatorum was deacrlbed by Scud der from the Green river beds of Wy ojnlng. Another Eocene species has lately been discovered by Mr. D. B. Winchester of the United States geo logical survey, near Cathedral Bluff, In western Colorado, and Is to be called Culex wlnchesterl. ? Scientific American. War-Wounded Fish.

"Then will you marry meV "Well. maybe. Ilow much dp you pay?" "Suppose the wives were to join the soviet of waiters up and charge trlpl# wages for waiting up night) for hwbatuls." he said. ^?Imagine a wife going into society and being labeled a $15-a-week wife, a woman can takq a last-year hut and make It look like hew, Hut when she signed a contract for $15 a week there would be no biding it from the neigh, bors." Another speaker pleaded that "wom an shall not bo brought down from her pedestal as a queen and made a mere employee of man." In depicting the future of romance under the w age sys tem he said the marriage ceremony would have to be revised to read: HWltk this ring I hire thee, and will pay thee $15 a week by the nld of the world, the flesh and the devil," Notices like the following he pre dicted would be published: "Married ? John Brown and Mary Smith, by Rev. Itussell II. Conwell They will live In Logan and the wife's wages will be $15 a week."

LOOKING AHEAD A FEW YEARS r i Remarks That Will Be Merely Ordi nary When the Blimp Has Been Finally Perfected. Augustus Tolllver, the soap king, strode wrathfully out of his stateroom aboard the blimp and seized the arm of the porter, "Idiot J" he roared, "why didn't you give me a call this morning? I told you I had to be In London for a di rectors' meeting at 9 a. m. sharp, and now London Is Lord knows how many thousands of miles In our rear." "Ah pounded on yo' door, boss, but yo* refuses to waken," replied the porter. ? The soap king pulled out a watch. "Eleven-thirty," he grunted dis gustedly. "Where are we now?" "Jest passed over St. Louis, boss; we'll be back In N'Yawk at12:05." "Oh! well," said Tolllver, "I can attend that 12 :30 meeting of the soap powder people and catch the 1:30 blimp for London."
