RACE WITH A TROLLEY CAR.
A Wamlerlnjc »<>> Makes a Test of
His Si»eed.
It is not often that a ilog'insists upon
the right of way in opposition to an
electric car. but this is what a small
black dog did on Fullertou avenue on a
recent afternoon, and for a considera
ble distance held doggedly to his way,
despite the clanging of the car gong,
the shouts of the motormau and the I
rumbling of the car which at times I
threatened to run him down.
His appearance did not convey the :
impression that he was extracting any j
particularly enjoyment from the affair, J
but, however that may be, he kept the i
track directly ahead of the car for near- j
ly a mile, and when he did finally draw
off it was evident that weariness was
the impelling motive.
There was something about the dog’s
actions, however, that suggested that
he thought he possessed quite as much
speed us the cur, and was anxious to
try conclusions with it, for from the
moment he bounced on the track
ahead of the ear until he finally drew
out of the way he maintained an ex
ceedingly high rate of speed. In fact,
for a considerable distance he easily
held his own, but after about a mile had
been traveled he began to lug u little.
Then the ear began to draw nearer to
him, and a little further on began to
crowd him, but he bold his way and
never once looked behind.
Soon he began to show signs of dis
tress. llis tongue protruded a long
way and he faltered occasionally, but,
still he showed no signs of quitting.
The clang of the car's gong and the
shout of the motorman attracted the
attention of people along the street,
who stopped and viewed with amused
interest the strange race. Beverul times
it seemed as if the dog would certainly
be run over, but at the last moment he
would let out another link and draw
out of danger.
Whether lie had completed the dis
tance he had laid out. for himself, or
concluded that the ear was too speedy
for him. must be a matter of conjecture,
but, in any event, just before Clybourn
avenue was reached he pulled otf the
track, stopped a moment, shook him
self. gave a glance toward the passing
ear and walked over to the sidewalk,
where he lay clown and res ter], with
every evidence of satisfaction with him
self.--Chicago Tribune.
THE MINORCANS.

Down on tin* Hillsborough river, in

their heads aside in shame or anger.
In the streets of St. Augustine to
day one occasionally catches a glimpse
of a type of American beauty that fair
ly takes the breath away, and again he
wees traces of the type in so many other
faces that he unhesitatingly attributes
them all to the same source. There are
only n few pure-blooded Minorcan
women left in this country, but the
blood of these ancient slaves has mingled
with that of our noble southern fam
ilies and perpetuated In a degree a
beauty that is now rarely seen. What
the Creole blood has done for so many
women in New Orleans the Minorcan
blood lias accomplished for the inhab
itants of Florida. The wondrous eyes,
the regular, classic features and the
beautiful hair are all worthy of the
Creek slave—their real ancestral proto
t.vpc.
I he story of the Florida Minorcans is
interesting, dramatic, tragic. They
were the first slaves brought to this I
country—and while slaves at that!
They suffered the horrors of a slavery
which was unregulated by law and
which would have made the scene in
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” commonplace.
The existence of this white slave col
ony in the south was only nine years,
hut in that length of time enough sor
row and misery were compressed to
fill hnlf a century.—Detroit Free Press.

Scientists are greatly engrossed in
the discussion of the origin of petro
leum. Some of them contend that It iw
a contemporaneous production; oth
ers insist that it is, and has been for
ages, stored in the great arteries of the
earth. The artificial production of
petroleum has suggested that changes
of temperature and pressure may pro
duce the various substances that go to
make up this complex article. If one
pressure gives one ingredient, and an
other pressure produces another arti
cle. why is it not possible that away
down in mid-earth the currents and
counter-currents, with the varying con
dilions of heat, cold, dryness, moist
ure and pressure, may not be constant
ly at work producing not only petro
leum, but other substances of which It
is altogether likely that we, up to the
present date, know little or nothing.—
