ECCENTRICITY OF INVENTOR

Worked on Ills Contrivnnco During
Civil War nnd Exhibited Result
Throughout Country.
In the Dhow rooms t,f i ri of tho lo
cal garages ut Lowell, says tho Boa
toil Herald, Is on t'xliihlt luii what I
believed to be tho Hint steam-driven
autoiiionllo ever Invented In this coun
try, one which Hunvd tho ideas und
fulfilled tho expectations of lis builder
perfectly. Tlio machine, 11 rather odd
looking uffalr ua compared wllh a mod
en; car, was tho invention of William
W. Austin, who died last year In Win
throp. -Mr. Austin was born In Dighton
eighty-live years ago, and at the ago
of y was left an orphan. When a
young man ho became apprenticed to
a blacksmith and after remaining at
his trade for a few years went to
Boston nnd eventually to Lowell.
In lstio, at the very outbreak of the
Civil War, ho started to work on his
first automobile. Ills second effort
was the machiuo which is now on ex
hibition hero. He took his invention
to the larger cities of this section of
tho country and on his return to Low
ell some time later he brought with
hliu l-l,Oi)u.
Kcceutrlc in some particulars, .Mr.
Austin, instead of placing tho niouey
in the bank, buried ll and made a map
of its detailed location. When he left
the city home months later he placed
tho map in what he considered safe
keeping, but on his return it was gone.
nnd, not being able to remember just
where ho had placed tho money,
mourned it as lost.
A few years later, while away from
the city, a mental picture of the spot
where It was buried Hashed into his
mind, and lie returned here with all
haste an 1 alter some efforts located
the notes where he had buried them.
Decomposition had destroyed the outer
edges, but. he appealed to the Secre
tary of t lie Treasury and the notes
were redeemed.

Professor (loldwin SmilTi, one of the
most distinguished educators and writ
era -if modern times, died at "The
Grange," his home in Tonorto. recent
ly, at the age of SO years. Since the
dent It of his wile last summer the In
firmities of old age have been creeping
rapidly on Dr. Smith, and several
months ago he gave up all his literary
work. On the morning of Feb. 2, as
he was walking through the hall of his
home, he tripped and fell, fracturing
his thigh bone. On account of the pa
tient's advanced age tho hones would
not knit, and from the first there was
no hope of his recovery.
Goldwin Smith was horn at Readin
Pi
US years ago It was found that It was possible to cross thu
cow with the native Amori.au buffalo. In fact, tho cross was
made, and tho herds have beeu developed until at present there
uro mora than 300 head in the United States, "liultalo Jonco"
of Arizona fcas a thriving herd, and another of even greater
numbers is that on tho Uoodule ranch in the panhandle of
lexaM. oreat, shaggy, high-withered Bteers Ktalk about tho
fields, overlording their domestic ancestors in no mean manner.
This is a emit uro that never existed in tho world until recently, says
tho Washington l'ost. All the suns that shone in tho past failed to me its
like, it Is a new thliiK in the world. The Important question Is whether
it Is a useful thing. Thin oueslion is not vef li.i-l,1,.rl l.nt it iu .....n ...i,i.i
tho range of possibilities that it will prove more profitable to raise the hybrid
than tho cow, and If this is proved the latter will pass away and In its place
will remain the new creaturo, the rattelo, for ho It Is called through u com
bination of the name of Its ancestors.
There aio a number of points in which the rattelo mii-passes the do
mestic cow. It is of greater activity mid tan find a livelihood where the
cow would starve. .Mountain Listnesses and barren plains lend tb mselvcs
as pasturage for it where herds of cattle could never graze. Likewise the
frozen north countries lend themselves to the grazing ot cattelo where cows
could not resist the cold. The cattelo ha a shaggy coat Inherited from its
wild ancestor that Is without a peer as a resistor of cold. Interior Alaska
might bo induced to yield up billions were cattelo brought there to pasture.
lint there Is Btlli another of the brand-new animals that appears more
attractive than nil the rest. This Is the zohnuis, offspring of the royal zebra
of Abyssinia and the plebeian ass or the west. It has been developed under
the spwlul care and Ruidance of tits' United States government itself and
the hope Is strong that there will result a bearer of burdens and drawer of
loads that will surpass any domestic animal now known. Five years ago
King Menelik of Abyssinia sent to President Roosevelt the finest zebra In all
his domain, and the Abyssinian zooms are the largest and handsomest in
the world. As his back yard was already filled with things from the wild,
the president turned the zebra over to government scientists of the I ..-. rt.
mom oi Agriculture, who, being agog with the newly found Idea of the times,
that of Inventing new animals, set about using his royalty of the stripes for
that purpose.
The asses they already had in plenty of the variety of the patient Mexi
can burro that bears tho packs of the prospectors of the west. The experi
ments were carried on at tho experiment Btation at Jiethesda, near Washing

claring themselves the very latest tilings In animals. The oldest z-hras, the
first of its kind, was Ixirn a little more than a year ago. It is a male and

And tho possibilities loom large to all appearances. The zebra ss seems

of the prettiest creatures in the world. It has the heavy coat of hair of its

Dut of the new turn taken by scientists is a great law of In n dity which
was deduced first, by an Austrian monk. (Iregor Mendel, w.io Jived half a
century ago. This monk in his cloistered garden studied long the laws that
govern tho things that grow and their relation to the parents that bred
them. Ho established, in the first plate, the fait that all things having Ii;.;,
bo they plant or animal, are controlled by the mi laws. Tie n lie wot k d
on tho hypothesis that given trait" of either or lioth parents would occur
in generations that followed in certain mathematical proportions. He bred
together for many years plants and animals having certain dissimilar and
readily reccirnbted nudities and noted the r curr-nce of ach in the genera
'Ions that, followed. Finally he worked out of ihie figures the gre-itt;-t la v
of heredity that science has ever known and s t it down for posterity.
Little was thought of it at the time, and it was neglected until, within t.i;
past ten years, it. has been hit upon, has been proved and re-proved a thou
sand times and finally has been established as the one gn;.t and corn-:
law. 1 his law the government has taken great pains to
prove.

In 1.8C8 he was elected to the chair of

self largely to Canadian journalism
and to literature. His pleasant home,
the Grange, is situated in the center
Of Toronto. His various works, lit

fine record, but to many he is of inter

controversies in which both .Mr

part. In addition to his work in bi

Goldwin Smith was a poet.

ine winter resort golt player meets
a refreshing noveliy iu the negro cad'
dy. Sometimes the "boy" Is a grizzled
old fellow riaing ,r0, who totes the ba
of ciuiis about with the alacrity of
youth.
The caddies come in all sizes, from
six feet or more with the muscular
build of a prize lighter down to lads
just about able to handle tho bag; but
no matter what ins age or size, the ne
gro caddy has infinite ability to be
cheerful. He doesn't adopt the some
what cynical manner offtho white cad
dy, and his manners nre better.
For another thing, the black lad
ordinarily has the eye of a hawk and
traces the halls with marvelous sure-
ness. One caddy said he hadn't lost a
ball in the two years that he had been
ruddying, which is a remarkable rec
ord.
' The negro caddy comes Into his work
with an amiable idosi that he Is the
partner of his employer. Tho ball is
"ours." "Whose ball is that near the
pin?" asks the golfer. "That's ours,
sir", the caddy says.
When the golfer gets a good long
ball from the tee, tho caddy does a lot
of quiet rooting. "Ride on, ball, ride
on," he calls, much as if he were roll
ing the bones and rooting for his num
ber to come up. He does his best to
coax the bail Into the cup, too, In much
the same way, but his sense of eti
quette Is too strong to permit him to
make any noise while the play is ac
tually being mado.
No matter how much of a dub he has
for a boss at the time, a writer in
the New York Sun says, he doesn't
sneer or say, anything impertinent
which is a relief to the player from
up North, who knows the unpleasant
habits of some of the white caddies.
The only bad habit the boy has is to
gamble on the result, or the match he's
accompanying. It can be seen what a
test of cheerfulness it is for him when
his player is a dub and misses an easy
shot for the hole and so throws away
the bet.

of tie no longer Is the recognized sign of
the; tobacco store, says the Chicago
News.
Time was when the proprietor of a
tobacco store considered the statue of
the American aborigine standing at
the entrance of his doorway a neces
sary adjunct to his business, ft was
regarded by the proprietor with the
same feeling of pride that now swells
in a man's bosom when he watches
his huge electric sign attracting the at
tention of the crowds in the street.
When a new coat; of paint covered the
front of his store the Indian was adorn
ed with a new suit of attractive colors.
At night the statue carefully was re
moved within the building, and the
first duty of the janitor the next morn
lug was to put the sign on duty in it:;
accustomed place.
A few tobacco dealers still have the
Indian sign. They consider it now
more as a keepsake than an asset to
their business, and don't give it the
care and attention it demanded former
ly. They bought It many years ago
when Its presence was ccnsidered nec
essary to the sale of tobacco and their
attachment for the relic prevents them
from using it. for kindling.
The retail tobacco business has un
dergone a revolution during the last
fifteen years, and the Indian was one
of the old customs slated for the tobog
gan. When modern ways and .modern
stores began to encroach upon the din
gy, untidy tobacco stands of the pio
neers, the reformers chose to regard
the absence of the Indian as a mark of
their kind. Tho electric sign or the
unassuming "Cigars and Tobaccos" on
the windows downed the chief.
Other things, too, aided custom In
discarding the wooden Indian. On nar
row sidewalks the life-sized statue
mounted on a large base was a serious
obstruction and often it was necessary
for pedestrians to pass It In single filo.
This led to ordinances and laws
against street obstructions, and the
wooden Indian became ill. At this
stage in the history of the retail tobac
co buuiness window decorations came
Into vogue. The big signs prevented a
view of a clever window display and
discretion led the shopkeeper to aban
don the old scheme for the new.
The use of an Indian statuo as a
sign of a tobacco store is commonly
accredited to the fact that the red man
was the first to use tobacco.

not drank any since Postum came into
the house, and ate far more heakhy
