The Massachusetts state law requires that all applicants for a license to drive an auto- mobile on Massachusetts highways be ex- amined by an examiner appointed by the Highway commission, regardless of their road experience in other states.

The Gummy horse was fixed to the front of the car, the horn being attached to the dummy's mouth, while at night the eyes were lit up, a pair of brilliant green and red orbs glaring at passing vehicles. Some of the novelties in motor cars, how- ever, take a more practical and useful shape. Among the cars, for instance, pos- sessed by the late king of the Belglans, who was & most ardent automobilist, was an elaborate Eypsy van which contained three rooms—a parlor and bed room and a The brick work Is ail done and the work men have nearly finished the stone of the bell chamber. The arcade of four arches on each side is almost completed, and three of the verde antico columns which were only slightly damaged in the fall have been put back in their former places; the capitals and lions' heads In the spandrils they were obliged to copy from the fragments of those destroyed. On the east and west side of the square attic above the bell chamber will be set up the figures of Justice, which came down un- harmed with the old campanile; on the other two sides will be erected the lions of St. Mark, which the French tore down in Bonaparte's time. The pyramid that crowns the campanile will be built of fron and cement instead of brick, so as to Insure lightness, but it will be covered with the old copper plates and will look the same from the exterior. The graceful loggetta of S work ansovino will vans reminds one thut | tle, some time ago, had fitted of traveling car- avans built, which, however, was moved by horse power. It contained a cooking range, plano, typewriter and a dark roum, together with accommodation for three per- sons, in the moderate space of fifteen teet by seven feet, and cost £1,500. Four years ago the Duke of Fife had bullt for him, at a cost of 2,000, a 60-horse- power motor, which was designed as far as possible to combine the advantages of a railway saloon with the luxury of an apartment in a royal palace. At the back of the carriage was a couch with soft cush- ions, upon which a passenger could take a slesta at full length. The seats were of the armchair pattern, and were so con- structed that the occupants could look out insany direction. The doors opened with nickel-plated handles; goft Turkey carpets covered the floor, and among the fittings wero ladies’ companions and smoking fit- ments galore.

Only one of the bells of St. Mark escaped destruction, The other four were cast again at the expense of Pope Pius X, who patriarch of Venice when the campanile was How deeply the Venetians are attached to these Is shown by an incident recorded by the Times' correspondent. When the bells were finished last spring they were taken to the campanile workyard in order to be tuned, As soon as the music of the chimes was heard, “from lip to lip ran the ‘“The bells of San Marco! The bells of San Marco!' from the Merceria, the Molo, the Riva, everybody began to run, and in a few moments the plazza was full of an eager and enthusiastic crowd.” The bells will not be up this Easter, as was hoped, but they will be ready to ring out on St. Mark’'s day in 191l.
