EVOLUTION OF SPEED | WHITER HAS TRACED ITS PROG RESS THROUGH CENTURIES. ? i All of Man'* Ingenuity, However, Has Not Caused Him to Oovle* Meana 1 to Travel Faater Than > the Little 8wallow. Those twitturiug hwhIIowb have something to twit about, llutll an hour ago 1 thought of them only as friendly decorations in tho sky. "Now 1 see them in their true light, as man's rivals in the struggle for speed supremacy. ?. > 1 was sitting by a suuny bay win- . dow, overlooking a stretch of tho main ! street In a sleepy Southern village. In . all the landscape nothing had atlrred ' for half an hour but the swallows, a passing motor car, and a schoolboy racing in its wake in the vain hope of "hooking" a ride. Motion, however ? ' even so little of it us this "has a way j of monopolising our attention from j everything else. It set me to thinklug . about speed; wondering, in particu lar, how motor cars and swallows and self-propelled humans compared in the world's record. I got down a newspaper almanac, a pad of paper, and a pencil, and began to enliven some slow moments by tracing the dizzy evolution of speed. The standing of jthe aelf-propelled human. 1 aoon enough discovered, was pitifully low in the averagea. In hla lightest apparel and favdred with spiked shoes and a well-rolled track of cinders, the best that the best man among us can run a mile in is at a rate that would carry him only 14 miles an hour. Even if human mus cle could maintain for an hour the pace of a world's championship 100 yard dash. our record would be only 21 miles and a small fraction. But see how man's pride and hla luBt for speed have urged him to ex pedients. Mounted on the best of race horses he has managed to have him self 'propelled for. a mile at a rate of nearly 40 miles an hour. By Inventing the blcycla he then raised the rate at which he could cover a mile at a speed of 54 1-3 miles an hour. The motor eyele almost succeeded in doubling this pace. Its rate for the mile is 100. Meanwhile, , man was developing other inventions. In a locomotive he attained a speed, over a short course, of 120 miles an hour. He experiment ed with flying machines, untllMn the fastest monoplanes he, managed to hurl himself through the air at a rate pf six and one-half more miles an hour than he had been able to force out of ^ railway engine. This rate is enough to make the brain reel, but think, next, ot the terrific speed at which he has driver a motor car ? 142.8 miles an hour. . Cause for congratulation truly, but not yet enough to allow him to crow; for, even with -this, man has not be come the speed king of creation. Hawks and vultures, our scientists say, can attain a speed of 150 mileB an hour. And not only can they pass op In short-distance Bwoops fend spurts; they also can maintain their greater speed over long courses. On an air route from Antwerp to Com piegne, a swallow ? no picked athlete, either, but (supposedly) a common, homebody bird, eagdr to get back to the family chimney? flew 140 miles the other day at an average speed of 128 miles an hour. No world's cham tion motor car or monoplane has a record that compares favorably with this for such a distance. Man is swiftly progressing; he can motor * mile now at a speed ten times as fast as }ie can run it; and he may yet become the speed kipg or creation. -But meanwhile? and this i? what galls him? he has to take off his Mt to an ordinary little twittering swallow ? Charles Phelps Cushing. in New York Evening Post. . Newest Gun. The California, Mississippi and Idaho ?re to be armed with a new type of 14-inch gun, which will show a cod siderable increase of power over the 45-caliber gun. TJie new piece is six feet longer in the bore than the 45 cal^ber 14-inch, and its velocity and energy have been greatly Increased, the mpzsle energy ' being something over 70,000-foot tons. Rear Admiral Strauss, chief of ord nance, states that these new guns are caj&ble of penetrating the heaviest side angor at oblique impact it the. greatest effective battle range. It is gratifying to lea^rn that the;, new type of 16-inch, 45-caliber gun built at the Washington gun factory, has fulfilled the highest expectations, and that the bureau believes It to be as powerful a gun ae any in existence todagr. s ?? ? Archangel Becomes Thriving City. Through the war, the sleepy port of 'Archangel, way up under the Arctie Circle, has become a thriving city of id, 000 inhabitants and is Still growing.

WHEREIN IS REAL ECONOMY Going In Person to touy for Houh hold Bound to Save Money on thl* Weakly Bills. Economy does not merely Imply liv ing more cheaply and thereby of ne cessity cutting down either the Quality or quantity of food, or both. True I economy Ilea in obtaiulng aa good, or uearly aa good, value for the lesser ex penditure. How many wives whose husbands are earning, aay. between and |1,500 a year, atlll think It beneath their dignity to do more than the moat dainty of shopping? The habit of or dering at the door la an ingraiued one, and to Home mlnda smacks of superl orlty; but an examination of the ex tent to which higher prices have nec essarily to be paid In this way would surprise a good many. This only appllea to the difference between th6 actual cash price paid at the nhop and the price charged by the name tradesman who collects orders and delivers and very often haa to allow a bill to be run up, to say noth ing of the odd ounces frequently charged on the bill, which, had the pur chase^ been present at the weighing, would have been found to be nonex istent. This, however, If not the only sav ing which can be made as between personal shopping and giving orders at the door, says the New York Eve ning Telegram. A keen shopper, with ready cash available, will soon And a substantial difference between various shops supplying the same commodities within quite a small radius If the trouble Is taken to sscer taln prices. This means trouble, but looked at sensibly It results In the equivalent of earning money, for mon ey saved 1s money earned In a dis tinct sense In housekeeping. Moreover, when purchasing In per son one can always Insist upon get ting the best article st the prloe, whereas if the goods are delivered after ordering at the door, If they are found to be not quite up to the mark, they are more than likely to be put up with, either through lack of time to send them back or Indisposition to bother further. 'V BROUGHT SHARPER TO TIME Procedure of Justice Probably Not Found In Blackstone, But It Was Decidedly Efficacious. It was the early days of boat travel on the Ohio river when even passen ger steamers stopped at landings on islands and mainlands for freight. We had made an Island landing and a wealthy passenger had left the boat to buy cigars at the Island's tiny store. He bought 16 worth, and presented a ?100 ~c bill In payment, whereupon the storekeeper offered him $6 In change, asserting that he had received only $10. The customer returned to the boat and related his tale of woe to the captain, who at once went ashore and informed the storekeeper that un less the change was at once forthcom ing he would hitch a cable around the store and drag It Into the river. The storekeeper still refused and the captain started for his boat. A cable was quickly passed around the little building, hitched to the vessel, and full steam ordered. When the shack tottered upon its foundation, the frightened storekeeper appeared, the missing bills fluttering in his hand. ?New York Evening Post. Resourceful. , A southern lady who met with flnan cial reverses recently moved to the country in order to economise. She engaged a little colored boy. in the neighborhood to assist her at odd times about the house; ? Star was so much pleased with his employment that he was anxious to become a per manent member of the little house hold. ^ "Mis' Alice," he began one day, "don't you-all ever git skeered In dls big house, jus' by yousef?" "Why, yes, Sam/' the lady admitted, "it is lonely at times. I have thought of having someone about when my husband has to be away." "Well," ventured Sam again. "I Jus' thought you might like to know dat I's a candidate to' de position ob pro tector in case you should decide to employ someone." "Why, Sam," asked the lady, laugh ing, "what could you do to help me If robbers happened to break In some dark night?" Sam was puzzled for a moment, but presently he had an inspiration, "Well, Mis' Alice," he said protfdly, "dahe one thing dat I could do in case you was visited by unwelcome Intru ders; 1 could light de lantern and show you-all which way to ma!" ?
