FIRST GASOLINE ENGINE.
* 1
Was Made by Frenchman Forty-Five ^
Years Ago. t
^ The first attempt to apply gasoline 1
as a motive power was made by a
v Frenchman. Pierre Josejh Ravel, 13
Q
who patented 45 years ago "a steam
generator heated by mineral oils, to ^
be applied to steam locomotion on
ordinary roads." Ravel's engine was
fitted to a small carriage and developed
three horsepower. The Fran
co-German war put an end to Ra- c
vel's experiments for a time, bux. t
years later he built a motor car in
which petroleum was used for the c
direct generation of motive power.
In 1876, Lentz invented a burner ^
A * by which a mixture of gasoline and p
other napthas, called massout, was
used as fuel on steamships. About the
same time gasoline was used as an p
illuminant in street lamps, and later 13
a new use was found for it in the ?
manufacture of varnish and oilcloth.
Gasoline, amounting to 8 per cent v
of the distilled product of the crude *
petroleum, continued to be a drug on
the market until the invention of the s'
gassoline motor and its application 0
to the automobile; boats, aeroplanes 11
and hundreds of industrial uses.
Several inventors helped to inaug- s
urate the "age of gasoline," but the
chief of them was George B. Selden. c
of Rochester, N. Y., the father of the ^
automobiles.?Philadelphia Ledger.
First Arrest Made Under Webb Law.
Rock Hill, Oct. 9.?The first arrest *
for an offense of this kind since the *
Webb law went into effect took place ^
here last evening, when Chief of Po- *
lice Youngblood arrested a party giv- 1
ing his name as Edward S. Krails. F
who was soliciting orders for whiskey- 1
etc., he stated, for Moss & Co., of Cin
cinnati. The recorder fined him $100 ^
under the city ordinance and then ^
Magistrate Wingate took charge of v
him and telephoned to Solicitor Hen- 1
ry at Chester to know what to do
with him. The solicitor instructed
him to bind Krails over to the circuit ^
court under a $500 bond.

dILLIOXS SHUN WEDDING BELLS.
There Are 17,000,000 Adults in the
United States Unmarried. j
Unmarried men and women, you j

inmarried? There are more than j
17,000,000 of you in the United!

ion single people. His conclusions
irp pvneoteO soon, savs The Washing- I
on Star.
"Why,'" asks Mr. Rittenhouse, "are
hirty-nine out of every hundred!
liales without wives? Why should!
ve have 17,000,000 unmarried per-;
>ons in the United States? These I
nateless millions nearly equal in!

wenty years old and over; 9,000,000 j

",226,000 of these men are between j
10 and 44 years old; some 500,000 ^

md 54.

las a nation been so prosperous nor j
vithin such easy reach of the com- j
orts and luxuries of life as the Amer- j
cans of today. There is something j
vrong. What is it?
Some Lack Courage.
"Making due allowance for the im-j
>ecunious, the aged and the men- \
ally and physically unfit, it is safe i
o say that 5,000,000 of these single;

iponsibilities of married life. The
najority of these men have a wholecme
respect and reverence for the :
narried state, and many of them will I
i
inter it, but there are an enormous !
lumber of men who lack the moral
iber and courage to marry and take
, man's part in human affairs.
"While an army of single men are
avishing their earnings and their af- i
ections upon themselves and many of j
hem developing extravagant and of-j
en vicious havits?an existence;
rliich they prefer to an orderly, economical
married life?another great
rmy of young women are forced to \

nouses for the necessaries of life. j
"This is an unfortunate and un- \
natural state of affairs. Moreover |
rom the ranks of the unmarried j
omes humanity's heaviest contribu-i
ion to immorality and crimes.
"All these factors are well worth i
onsidering when studying the prob- j
?m of marriage, eugenics or race deeneracy,
and the fundamental moral
rinciple which underlies them all.
Discusses Decline of Fit.
"There is a demand, more or less
opular, to place restrictions around !
larriage to prevent the immorality, \
rime and degeneracy which follow j
:he renroduction of the unfit.' But i
rhat of the decline in the reproduc- j
ion of the fit? Why should not our j
ighly developed civilization devise j
ome means to encourage our 17,000,-j
00 fit, but unmarried, persons to;
larry, and assume their natural and j
roper places and part in the great i
cheme of humanity?

BEGINNING OF BREAKFAST.
leal Not Known Until the 15th Century.
That the hours of dining vary in
lifferent countries is well known, but
ew persons realize that the meal
'breakfast" did not become recogniz>d
until late in the 17th century. The
'arliest period to which the word can
>e traced is 14 63.
In the days of the Tudors the hight
classes dined at 1 and supped at 5,
md the merchants seldom took their
neals before 12 and 6 o'clock. The
hief meals, dinner and supper, were
aken in the hall,both by the oldEngish
and the Normans, for the paror
did nor come into use until the
eign of Elizabeth.
Dinner was really the great meal of
he day, and from the accession of
-lenry IV. to the death of Queen
Elizabeth the dinners were as sumptions
and extravagant as any of those !
n history.
Carving was then a fine art. and \
iac-h person brought his own spoon'
md knife. As the fork was unknown,
he diner thoroughly washed his
lands before and after each meal,
nd it was considered a bad breach
>f table etiquette.for one not to use
he left hand only in the common
lish.
FIND GOLD IN COFFEE POT.
Workmen's Picks Strike Nuggets
Hidden l?y Dead Miners.
The moving of a building 50 years
old, in Breckenridge, yesterday, resulted
in workmen finding a rusty j
coffee pot containing old nuggets {
worth more than $1,800. The buiid-j
ing was being moved to the rear of i
the lot on which it stood by Henry
Evans, who intends to erect a modern
brick structure on the lot. Imme
diately after the report of the find |
hundreds of persons rushed to the
scene and, because of their activity
with picks and shovels, workmen will
not be needed to finish the excavation.
The landmark, one of the oldest
buildings in Summit county, was
built of logs. In the early days it
was occupied by Edward J. Collingwood,
who has since moved to Denver.
Since then it has been occupied
by various individuals and firms as
a store, among them being G. B. Watson.
of Breckenridge.
Evans was advised to teear the ancient
structure down, and thus save
expenses, but. because of sentimental
reasons, he decided to move it to
the rear of the lot to use the space
which it had formerly occupied for
his new building. The moving of the
building entailed much digging, and
a force of laborers was put to work.
One of the workmen unearthed the
pot, and cast it on a pile of dirt.
When it struck, the lid flew off, and
yellow gold nuggets rained over the
ground. The contents were weighed
and placed in a local bank.
Evans says that unless some one
claims the find, the proceeds will be
devoted toward building his new
store. Enthusiastic fortune hunters
crowded the site all afternoon, and
Evans, after watching them for a
while, decided to dispense with the
services of the workmen.
Various theories have been advanced
to account for the treasure, the
most popular one being that of the
old-timers, who declare the gold was
hidden there by high graders years
ago, who afterward either died or
were afraid to return for their loot.
In the opinion of the old miners, the
character of the gold indicates that
it came from Farncomb Hill, which,
in the early days, produced hundreds
of thousands of dollars.?Denver Republican.
?
Wife Whipping. i
The ancient idea that an honest
Briton held in his own hands the
inherent right to "correct" his wife ;
has never been given up by the hus- <
bands of that land?that is, among
the plain people. For many years it 1
was generally accepted that the husband
could use in this necessary correction
"a stick no thicker than his
thumb," and when this failed to ef- ;
feet a cure the village authorities ?
would come to his relief with the 1
ducking stool. Wife whipping is to- i
day of such common occurrence that ;
the music halls have put upon films
as a drawing card in their moving i
picture entertainments this particu- <
lar British recreation, and it may be
that this will bring about a reform i
in domestic discipline in that country. ;
One of these music hall sketches, en- i
titled, "What Every Woman Ought ]
to Know," is by two actors, who give
a lesson showing the muscular benefits
that come to a woman who has 1
learned jui jitsu. Bill Borrer, a
costermonger. knocks his wife Liz >
about when he is drunk. Liz reads
an advertisement about jiu jitsu,
takes lessons and is ready for him at
his next assault. He comes on with a i
threat to "smash her face," and at- i
tempts to do so. Liz catches the
blow, brings him to the ground, puts i
? J An TY1 onrl 1
ail arm anu icg lucn. kju. uhu
proceeds to tell the captive that a :
new era has arrived in that house- i
hold. She lets him up and he re- 3
news the attack. Then, by the aid ;
of the most approved throws and <
locks, she brings him into abject sub- 1
mission and he begins life anew as
the model husband. ]
There is but little wife whipping in ]
the United States, and when a case j
gets into court the punishment inflicted
is not of the three-shillings- 1
and-two-pence kind, but usually has
a stiff workhouse sentence attached. !

Recently two men were speaking of 4
a mutual friend, when one of them 1
told of a practical joke that he had
attempted to play on an insurance
company, relates the Philadelphia
Telegraph.
"He bought a thousand cigars,"
said the man who was reiating the 1
circumstances, "had them insured in ]
a prominent company, smoked the
lot and then sent in a claim on the '
ground that they had been destroyed
by fire." i
