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

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.

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.
The number of vessels sailing and
arriving last summer rivaled the rec
ord of*J*w York and., still greater
activity Is expected next summer. Over
15,000,000 poods of wheat were shipped
in the last season. Aa electric street

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

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.

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!" ?
