Among the novelties shown at the bicycle show in New York City is an "autoquadricycle" a compromise be tween the bicycle and automobile. It is a four-wheeled vehicle, built on the general plan of the bicycle, with a gasoline engine mounted over the rear axle. It carries two persons, one on a seat like that of a road wagon in front, and the other on a saddle in the rear. It is 36 inches wide and 46 inches from center to center of axles, and will run from 2\ to 25 miles per hour, the engine developing 1:] horse power at moderate speed. The ordinary bicycle for this year is to be shorter and compacter than heretofore, from one to two pounds lighter and driven by a bevel gear. There is also a new coaster brake. More Hill.

The story of the destruction of the tmths of St Oervals nt the foot of Mont Itlanc, in is told In"The Annals of Mont Blanc." This was one of the calamities that could scarcely have been predicted or averted. Owing to the stoppage of the sub glacial drainage, in some way never ascertained, a lake was formed under the Tete Rousse glacier, in which an enormous body of water was pent up at a spot 10,000 feet above the sea lev el. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on the night of July 12, 18U2, the Ice that had held the lake gave way. The water swept in a torrent of tre mendous force over the Desert de Pierre lionde, gathering up thousands of tons of rock and stones in its course, it passed with a terrific roar under the liamlet of Bionnassay, which it did not injure, destroyed half the village of Bionnay 011 the highroad between Con tamines and St. Gervais and, tearing ii]) trees as It went along, joined the main river of the Bon-Nant. Following the river bed and destroy ing on its way the old Pont du Diable, it hurled its seething flood of water, timber, stones and mud upon the solid buildings of the St. Gervais baths and crushed them into fragments. Then, crossing the Chamonix road, it spread Itself out In the form of a hideous fan over the valley of the Arvc, destroying part of the village of Le Fayet in its way. Such was the catastrophe of St. Ger vais which claimed over 150 victims. Utter ruin was everywhere. The once lovely gardens of the baths were five or six feet deep in mud, fine trees had been snapped like reeds and enormous blocks of stone were strewn over the dreary waste. She Decided to llcmn-in. "I will," she exclaimed. "I will not live with you another day!" "YOll leave me, will you?" ho calmly asked. "Yes, 1 will." "When?" "Now—right off—tills minute." "You'll go away?" "Yes, sir." "I wouldn't if I were you." "But I will, and I defy you to pre vent me. I have suffered at your hands as long as I can put up with it." "Oh, I shan't try to stop you," he quietly replied. "I'll simply report to the police that my wife lias mysteri ously disappeared. They'll want your description, and I will give it. You wear No. 7 shoes; you have an extra large mouth; you walk stiff in your knees; your nose turns up at the end; eyes rather on the scpiiut; voice like a"— "Wretch! You wouldn't dare do that!" slio screamed. "I certainly will, and the descrip tion will go in all the papers." They glared at each other a moment in silence. Then it was plain to be seen he bad the dead wood on her.- Columbus Journal. 111M (iri'nl Work. A Chicago man who has written a book was telling about it the other day to a friend who had once done him a service. "By the way," said the author, "I would be delighted to give you a copy of my work, if you care for it." "I should be more than pleased to have it,"was the reply, "especially if you will write your name in it." "All right. There is a bookstore just around the corner. If you will ac company me, we will go there and get it. I don't happen to liavo a copy in my oilice just now." After they had stopped to glance at some of the new tilings in the book store the author hailed a clerk and, pushing bis chest out very far, asked for the novel that lie had written. "Yes, sir," the clerk said. "We have it around here somewhere, I believe, but you are the first one who has ever asked for a copy, and it may take me some time to find it. Wouldn't some thing else do just as well? We have a great many better books at the same price."—Chicago Times-Herald. How He Obtained Quiet. At one of the meetings during Mr. Moody's services in Kansas City hymn sheets were distributed by the ushers just previous to his address. lie was feeling very tired, and speaking was a great exertion; so, fearing the noise that would result should the audience rustle them, lie resolved to get rid of them. He called out, "Will everybody who has a hymn sheet hold it up?" The sheets were held up all over the hall. Mr. Moody shouted, "Now shake them!" Twelve thousand flimsy sheets of pa per were shaken vigorously. They made an indescribably musical sound. There is nothing to compare it with. One can only say it was a vast rustle. "That will do," called Mr. Moody at tiie top of his voice. The sound ceased. "All right," said Mr. Moody. "Now sit 011 those hymn sheets." The audience sat on them. Having taken this pre caution against interruption, Mr. Moo dy began his sermon. MannKinK Mm, .Jones. "Look here," said Mr. Jones to the house agent, "my wife will bo calling today, and I want you to tell lier that that house we have been looking at is taken." "But, my good sir," protested the agent, "it isn't taken." "It will be then," answered Mr. Jones. "I am taking it now. Mrs. Jones can't make up her mind, but she'll want it directly she thinks she can't get it."—London Telegraph. A Fnll* Unnecessary. Tommy—l know now why you wear only one eyeglass.

Did a Whol«»Male Ilu.sincNN, An Englishman hailing from the north went into the Chatham hotel, in Paris, recently and cautiously asked the price of a whisky. "One franc, sir," replied the bar tender. "And a whisky and soda?" "One franc, sir. All drinks are the same price." The Englishman sat down and, to his astonishment, found that the place was run on American lines and that the customers helped themselves nt their own discretion. He punished that bottle of whisky till it was near ly empty. As he went out he paid down his franc, but the manager" call ed him back and said, "You have for gotten your change." "I thought that the drink was a franc?" "That is so, sir," was the reply. "That is the retail price, but there is a reduction when you buy wholesale." And he handed back 5 sous.—Loudon Chronicle.
