Around a fountein fn one of the principa! squares. of Quito assemble every morning the city’s aquadores. These water porters differ from the less energetic ones of some South Americar cities in carrying their jars upon their back instead of on the backs of mules. Their earthen Jars are deep, have a wide moufli, and | hold about forty liters. ! The porter carries it on his shoul-! der fastened with leather straps. ' Hae | never detaches himself from his jah either to fill it or to transfer its con- ! tents to that of his customer. He turns his back to-the fountxmi so that the jar' comes under one ot. the jets of water, listens to the sound | of the water in the jar, and his ear( 18 so well tralned that he always walks away at - the exact moment when it is filled to the brim. Arriving at the house of a cus- tomer, he goes to the household jar, makes a’ deep bow, and disappears behind a torrent of water. Foreign- ers can never receive without laught ing the visit of their aguador, the respectful little man who bows to one behind a cataract of water—Ex- change. i Rubber Trees in Hawaii. It has been known that the rubber tree grows in Hawaii, but it has not : been cultivated commercially. A new ‘ and valuable industry is likely to de- | velop from the reported discovery that 6,000 acres of native rubber forest ly- ing on the Kona Kohala side of Mauna | Kea’s slopes yield rubber of good qual- ity. The forest, which lies at a height of from 2,000 to 3,000 feet, and which {8 somewhat inacceszible, being above the lava flow of 1801, is on government Jand, and the quesiion has already arisen whether the lessee for grazing purposes has she right of tapping the trees. If the opinion of experts as to the quality of the rubber is confirmed this will prove a valuable find, but a somewhat extended test is needed, for Mr.. Rock, territorial botanist of the College of Hawali, says that this spe- cles is found nowhere else in the! world. i 4 When He Stopped. In a suit lately tried the plaintift had testified that his financial posi- tion had always been a good one. The opposing counsel took him in hand for cross-examination, and undertook to break down his testimony upon this | point. ! “Have you ever been bankrupt?” asked the counsel. “1 have not.” ‘“Now, be careful,” admonished the Iawyer, with raised finger. *Did you sver stop payment?” “Yes.” “Ah! I thought we should get at the truth,” observed the counsel, with an unpleasant smile. “When did this suspension of payment occur? “When I paid all I owed."—Philes felphia Public Ledger. Frenchman Works Short Time. Recent investigations into the bours of work by officlals of the French department of navigation bave brought to }ight a record in gov- ernment employment in the shape of an official whose daily “hours of duty” amount to exactly two minutes. ‘This man dwells at a place on the Bel glan frontier, and his arduous labors oonsist in fetching from one office a 1ist of the number of barges that have entered French territory the previous 24 hours and handing the said list in at anotlier office.

AUTO’S VALUE IN WARFARE Réceént Maneuvers Have Shown That! It I1s a Power That Must Be : Reckoned With. In the Interesting presidential ad- | dress before the Institution of Auto- ! mobile Engineers, at London, T. B. Browne stated that in the recent army maneuvers held on a large scale in | this country the automobile proved itselt of the greatest advantage. The invaders.and defenders, each consist- ing of one cavalry division and two infantry divisions, were furnished with approximately 110 petrol vehicles and 36 steam vehicles, which, working in conjunction with the railways, un- dertook the whole of the supplies to the armies. Where roads are avail- able the gain by the use of automo- biles over horses for this purpose is enormous, a8 it can easily be seen that where the latter cover 40 miles in two days the same distance would be covered in four hours by the for- mer. It takes four motor lorries: to carry one day’s supplies for a brigade of ‘about 4.000 men, and each lorry takes a three-ton load, which is equiv- alent to three horse wagons. More- over, the motor vehicles ‘take up only two-thirds of the road space required for the horse vehicles. Right Word.
