Somebody over in England (remarks ! "Etudo") has made a brilliant sng--1 gestion for enabling the police to detect j motorists exceeding the speed limit. It |is suggested that as a,car goes at its I fastest allowable pace, a low D should i be sounded, and directly this is exl ceeded the pitch should bo raised automatically, and this would call the attention of the police. This is an excellent idea, especially as it is also suggested that the police should be provided with tuning-forks to enable them to detect tho difference. If this idea comes into general acceptance, we shall he reading accounts of motorists lining fined for exceeding the speed limit by a diminished fifth. There will also bo a now field ,for musicians a 6 members of the police foroe. .
