In this wise: The speeder. In hit little high- - wheeled contraption, was roaring down Arlington street, going every bit as fast a some modern concrete mix-ers and making an equal amount of noise. The legal limit was ten miles an hour and the locnl police chief told the court his prisoner had been muklng eighteen. Were you?" inquired the Judge. "Why, your honor, my motor car won't even make the ten-mil- limit !" protested the driver. The strange part of it Is thnt the Judge believed the driver nnd discharged him. To maintain his reputation for veracity, the police chief secretly measured off a quarter mile, got two good stop watches pnd. with the aid of a sergeant, set out to cntch con-scienceless nutnmoblllsts.

Legal Knots Untied ' ; by Chinese Solomon ! In a village near Peking, China, four tradesmen clubbed together to buy cot-ton. T protect It from rati they pro-cured a cut, and agreed that each of them owned one of the aulmnl's legs. Soon afterwards the cut hurt one of Its paws, and the owner of that par tlculur leg bound It up with a rag soaked In oil. But the cat went too near the fire, the bundage Ignited, and the terrified anlmul rushed amongst the bales of cotton, which flared up and were destroyed. The .three owners of the uninjured lega sued their partner for loss and damages. The Judge ruled thus: "Since the cat wua unuble to use the Injured leg, the cotton was set on Are by the action of the three un-injured legs oo which the cut run among the bales of cotton. Conse-quently these three lets were guilty, and their owners must pay damages and costs." Scent in Algiers. I (Prepared by the National rjeoRraphle Society, WMblngtoo. D. C.) r"lHU long, sweeping curve of a I crescent bay the storied Bay of JL Algiers here frln;;ed with yel-low ennd, there, at one end, edged with gleaming black rocks, nnd everywhere backed by the steep slopes of a semi circular chain of low hills rising abruptly from the water's edge and crowned with white villas In ver-dn-gcrdens flaming with Bougaln-vllle- a and polnsettla. Behind the hills lies the nnrrow, fer-tile plain of the Mltldja, in spring-time blar.lng with the vnrled hues of wild flowers, the yellow of oranges, the green of cornfields and vineyard. Towering above the plain In rugged grandeur the mighty chain of the At-las mountains, seeming to support the heavens on their snow-cla- shoulders. And the clouds gather round their peaks nnd leave the sky clear and blue, almost as blue as the waters of the Mediterranean below. At one end of the bay are the s harbor, the busy wharves, nnd the terraced houses of a white city climbing to the hilltop. Algiers, the White City! Its story runs from Hercules nnd the Gnldpn Apples to the Hesperldes through the forgotten chronicles of Numldlan, Rnmnn, Vandal, Byzantine, Arab nnd Turk to the lnt of the Rntirbnn kings, to Napoleon III. nnd the French re-public. Not a century ago It was the haunt find headquarters of the cruel-est- . rnnt bloodthirsty pirates thnt the world las ever seen ; today It Is a hrlght and beautiful city of modern France. Alongside Its qnnvs lie great steam-ers hplnit loaded with the produce of s hor.nf Ifiil Innd: Its wharves are piled hlch with cask nnd encp. Immedlnte- - them In a dark tunnel. The few win-dows, small square openings, are barred with gratings bent outward; nnd here nnd there a painted face looks out from them and smiles down Invitingly on the wayfarer. But usually the houses 'present a blunk front to the outer world blank, tlmt is, but for a carved door with a small, twisted column on either side and a stone crescent above of these doors opens and three tiny children toddle out, laughing-o- ne a boy in a red fez and a small shirt, the others little girls with flow-ered blouses, colored skirts, and gaudy handkerchiefs twisted around their heads. The open door gives a glimpse of a wee tiled hall with a dwarf staircase twisting out of sight. Farther down another door stands Invitingly ajar. Pass through It out of the dim alley and you are In an-other world. A bright courtyard opens to the blue sky above. Two, three tiers of galleries with gnyly tilt-ed parapet walls top carved stone or murble pillars; a vine swings across the void ; flowers In pots or Bougaln-vlllea- s dash notes of glowing color Into the court on which women look down and call shrilly to the serving-maid- s seated on the paving stones be-low, cleaning great brass water Jars of old and graceful design. But the glory has depnrted; pasha nnd pirate have had their day, and their mansions, too, have fallen front their high estate. Instead of one rich man with his harem of silken-cln- d wives of many races peopling the chambers that open onto the tiled galleries and his wretched slaves fill-ing the dark cellars and noisome dungeons below, a dozen or more poor, families Arabs.

Figures In the Streets. Out agnln into the dark lanes and vaulted tunnels. Stnnd aside and let this porter pass. Bent double, he lurches heavily up the steep ascent, a band around his forehead helping to support the weight of the Immense burden on his back.

Out of a dnrk alley come two white-robe-d figures, veiled to the dark eyes thnt, lustrous and beautiful, shine un-der the black eyebrows and fair fore-heads.

Houses of the Natives. The houses hemming the streets thrust out their upper stories, d on Inclined wooden struts, un-til they nrp not a yard apart. Often they are built completely across, so that the narrow lane must pass under heavy anklets surround the ankles thrust Into rinlnty slip-pers. Their hennn-tlppe- fingers are loaded with rings. With a lingering backward glance these two enter slowly a carved mar-ble portal lending Into a hall walled nnd floored with flower-designe- porce-lain tiles. Inscriptions in Prench and Arabic tell us that this Is the entrance to the Moorish baths, open to men un-til noon, to women In the afternoon. The fair ones flock to It, for it is their lounge, their club, their glimpse of so-cial life, their gossip exchanges It nnd the Mohammedan cemeteries on Fridays. The narrow alley dives Into another tunneled pnssnge under the houses and pmerges on n wider space, a mar-ket. Spread nut on the ground or on rough stalls are meat, fruit, vegeta-bles, hrend. Arab nnd negro dealers shout out their wares nnd prices In Arabic nnd In French, while tall men In white hurnnoses. shrouded Moorish women and dark-haired- , Mnltese girls chaffer nnd bargain excitedly. Buyers and seller shake their hands In each other's face, scream with rage, call on Allah or the God of the Christians to hear witness, then quiet down and conclude the deal peaceably.

Queen's Watch One of the oddest timepieces In the world belonged to Mary Queen of Scots, who felt a superstitious aver-sion to It and gave It to Mary Seaton. one of ber maids of honor, who gave it In turn to Sir Thomus Dick Laud-er. It was In tho shape of a skull ; the forehead was engraved with a scythe and an hour glass between a palace and a cottage, signifying that time and death made no distinctions. At the hack ot the skull a figure of Time was pictured spreading de-struction over the world, and on the top appeared Eve and the serpent In the Garden of Eden, and the Cruci-fixion. Tjrkiah Trade Union The oldest trade unions In the world are In Constantinople. Here very worker, no mutter what his calling, belongs to a guild. These guilds are very powerful, having been In existence for many centuries and possessing special privileges granted to them for services rendered to the state in llme of crisis. To this day In Constantinople, no shoemaker of 'the guild of shoemakers may be pun-ished except 'by special officers ap-pointed hy members of his own call-ing"; the favor having been conferred .upon the fraternity by. one of the sul-tan- a of the Sixth century. The guilds regulate wages, length of working jdny, and even control the "pitches" of the vendors. i i I No Snakes ia Green 11 !

The ac-tual measurements of the city proper are given as three miles In length (from the Mattery to Fourteenth street), one nnd a half miles In width and eight miles In circumference." Good Job " A young lawyer had a foreign client In police court. It looked rather black 'for the foreigner, and the lawyer fair jly outdid himself In trying to convince 'the magistrate that his client was In-nocent. The lawyer dwelt on the other's of American customs, his jatralghtforward story, and enough other details to extend the talk fully I 13 minutes. Ills client was acquitted. In congratulating the freed man the lawyer held out his hand In an ab-sent, though rattier suggestive man ner. The client grasped It warmly. "Dot was a fine noise you make," he said. "Thnnks.

Appropriate Designation "Amerind" Is a telescopic word composed of the first syllables of "American" and "Indian". and Is a general term used to designate the races of man who Inhabited t lie New world before the arrival of Europeans. It was suggested In 18!W by MaJ. J W. Powell, director of the bureau ot American ethnology, who advocated it as a convenient substitute for the numerous awkward and Inappropriate terms applied to the aborigines of America. "Amerind" Is pronounced " with the accent on the first s liable.
