I hailed a taxi to convey me to mv
uncle s house, my shabby trunk was
piled on It, and off we started.
NEW SCE.VKS ALONG THE WAY.
I noticed that the drher was a negro,
and he wore no chauffeur's uniform. I
missed the smart appearance of the Lou- j
don taxis, and the vase of flowcta within. '
This stranse dark chauffeur drove to
fast, and oh! I noticed In alarm that
we were careerlns on the wrong side of
the street! For, as wo drove toward
the west, on thai wide thotoURhfare
called Market street, we kept upon thi
right-hand side, and not the left!
"We certainly will have an accident
quite soon," said J, and sought the
speaking tube. :
I could not find it. and we still swung j
on at lightning speed, still on the right- ;
hand side. This was too much. T could not
stand it any longer, and hung far out '
of the window.
"Please stop!'' I cried to the chauffeur. ,
"You will have nn accident If you don't i
keep to the proper side of the road. '
Please cross over to the left at once." I
The dusky driver duly stopped, and j
hook his puzzled head. " drive all
riyht," said he In a soft, musical voice '
a voice tnat seemed to hold the liquid i
melancholy of old slave days. "We
mus' keep to the right side. It is the
rule here."
I sank back In my seat amazed. Here j
then the traffic laws must be the opposite ,
of ours In England! Tet I could not
hake off the vague surmise that we I
would shortly collide with something.

ICHTHYOL PRICE BOUNDS
Asphalttc Material From Austria
Scarce Because of War.
Tho Importation of lchthyol, a peculiar
nsphaltlc material found i in Austria,
which finds application after appropriate
chemical treatment as a very Important
medlcamont, has been, along with many
other products, cut oft by tho war.
Tho raw material comes from a fossll
lfcrous deposit near Seefcld, In the Aus
trian Tyrol. It Is carefully selected and
subjected to dry distillation. This dis
tillate thus obtained Is then sulphonnted
and subsequently neutralized with am
monia. The use of this material has
grcaty Increased In tho last fow years,
and It has proved very beneficial.
Almost Immediately following the be
ginning of tho war Its price doubled,
going to more than 60 cents an ounce.
Already, however, a firm In St. Louis has
a material on the market which hoa been
favorably recommended ns an efficient
substitute closely resembling lchthyol itself.
