The Late Charles Kni1ht.

Charles Knight died at his home in
Addlestone, Surrey, England, on the
9th of March. He was noted as an au-
thor, q printer and a publisher. He
was born in 1871, and was consequent.
~ eighty two years old at the time of
his death. The London journals re.
ceived by the latest mails contain
tributes to his memory. The Telegraph
says;
"Those who directly profted by his
labors have in a great measure passed
away, and another generation has
arisen, less familiar with the services
of so eminent a pioneer of cheap and
useful literature, the friend of so many
illustrious men in the past-of Shiel
and Chantrey, of Praed and Macauley.
of Tooke and Grote-the eoadiutor OF
Brougham in his splendid efforts for
tho enlightenment of the masses. Let
It suffice to say that for sixty years
Charles Knight labored in the cause of
popular progress, diffusing, by means
of varied and instructive works, infor.
nation of the most useful character. at
a time when philanthropy of this kind
was both ridiculed and deprecated.
while it seldom led to pesuniary re-
ward"
Many of the works with which Chas.
Knights name is associated, such as
the encyclopedias, and libraries, "
the "Penny Magazine" the "Penny
Cyclopwdia," the ."Pictorial Shake
speare, and the Pictorial History OF
England" works that stand as noble
specimens of intelligent and disinter-
ested enterprise, have a worldwide
reputation.

Purpose Of the Mathematics Rattle.

Purpose Of the Mathematics Rattle.
In the American Naturalization Feb.
ruary Prof. Samuel Aughey gives the
results of his observations upon the
use made of their rattles by the rattle
snake. 1t is the vulgar opinion that the
reptile sounds his rattle for the purpose
of enticing birds, md some naturalists
even are disposed to find here a mimic
~ of the sound made by the so.called
locust or cicada. Prof. Aughey, does
not undertake to explain ali the pur-
poses served by the rattle, but he fully
agrees with Mr.. F. W. Putnam in re-
jecting this mimetic theory. Does the
rattle, then, serve a useful purpose !
In reply to this question, the author
tells us what he has himself observed.
In July, 1869, he was in Wayne county.
Nebraska nd as he was ono dav in.
vestigating the natural history of that
district, he heard the familiar rattle of
the snake. The sound was repeated at
intervals, and proceeded from rattle
snake that was calling its mate, which
soon came in answer to its summons.
Professor Augbey had similar expe-
rience the following year, and from
these facts he is disposed to think that
the purpose served by the rattle is to
call the sexes together.
Another purpose may be to paralyze
its victims with fright, and to inspire
it's natural enemies with terror. As an
illustration of the use of the rattle for
the former purpose, the author says
that, as he followed through the woods
OF Dakota county, Nebraska, a Balti-
once saw the bird, as it were, paralyzed
with fear, and ready to fall a prey to
the serpent. The writer shot the rat
tlesnake. He adds that he once wit
messed an attack of seven hogs on a
rattlesnake. Soon after the battle
opened, the snake ratified, and three
others came to his aid. But the hogs
were victorious in a few minutes.-

Means What He Saws.

Though combinations strong as
proofs Of Holy Writ - and as numerous as the
sands on the sea shore. were produced to
prove that DR.. Pierce, the proprietor of DR..
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, is in earnest and
means what he says, when he offers $500 re-
ward Tor any case of Catarrh which he can not
cure, yet there would DO some skepti,s and
fogies who would continue to shout 6 Ham.
6ug!" HUABua !" ut cannot be, because Dr.
Homespun says Catarrh cannot be cured !"
Now, this DIR. Homhspun is the identical,
good-naturcd old fellow who honestly believes
and persists in declaring that this eal til is not
round or spherical, but flat as a 'slap-jack,'
and does not turn over, otherwise the water
would all be spilled out of Deacon Bascon's
mill pond. But astronomical science has posi-
lively demonstrated and proven that DR..
HON spun is wrong in surprising the earth to
be fiat and stationary, and medical science is
daily proving the fact that he is no less mista-
kan and behind the times in regard to the
durability OF Catarrh. In short, it has been
positively proven that this world snoues, and
that medical science Is progressive opin.
ion of DR.. Homespun to tho contrary not
withstandlug. That DR.. Sage's Cat .rrh Remo-
dy will cure Catarrh, thousands who have used
it will attest.
Then buy it, and use it, in doubt do not stand.
You will lind it IN drug stores all over the
land. 633

The English Bank Forperies.

London papers of the 14th contain
the evidence given in the case of Edwin
Moves, arrested on suspicion of being
concerned in the late forgeries on the
Bank of England. The woman who was
arrested charged with being in unlaw-
full possession of part of the proceeds
of the fraud testified. She stated that
last August she made the acquaintance
of one George Bidwell, an American,
and went to Holland and France with
him. She knew his brother, Austin
Bidwell, and Mr.. Howe and Mr..
George Mcdonnell. This Mcdonnell
she identified by a photograph as .
person known as friend of Noycs, but
she further stated that the prisoner
Noyes is the person whom she thus
met. On the 3Oth of March, George
Bidwell informed her that something
had gone amiss with one ofhis friends
he shaved off his moustache and com.
mlssioned her to meet him, with some
money, at Euston Square Station, and
to go with him to Hollyhead she
obeyed his directions and went to the
station, but he was gone, and the police
took her into custody. This shows
that four persons are implicated, be-
sides Noyes-the two Bidwells, Me-
Donnell and Horton, or Warren. Evil
dence was also brought which seems
to prove that these two are really diff
erent names of the same man.

Riding O POrp0ise.
From tho Bridgeton IN, J.) Chronicle

ETOIS su0 OE1uSeIOu a. ~ chronicle.
In September, 1924, DIR. Benjamin
Fisher, Jr., was out in o boat in Maui
rice River, killing birds among the
reeds,: opposite Bricksboro'. Our
hero, Mr.. Samnel Penn, now of this
town, had charge of the boat. A por-
poise happened to be in the river at
the time, and was sporting around in
the usual style. The doctor fired his
small shot at it several times without
much apparent effect. After darling
about to and fro it finally came so near
the boat that Mr.. Penn struck it with
an oar. It then occurred to Mr.. Penn
that with a pitchfork he might dispatch
the gay creature. He accordingly
landed and ran to neighboring house
to procure the weapon. Having sue
ceeded in this, on his return he found
the huge fish near the wharf. Rails
ing the fork he struck at the finny
animal so eagerly that he made q miss
of it, but forked himself forward 40
violently toward the porpoise that he
alighted astraddle of it's back, front of
the dorsal fin. Now began a scene for
painter. The fish, unused to serving
as beast of burden, darted off in q
rapid swim across the river, all the time
keeping on the surface, while Mr..
Penn, in true equestrian style, kept all
the time on it's back, held in his seat
by the pressure of the water holding
him fast against the big dorsal fin.
The fish after going two-thirds of the
way across the river-about one hun
dred and fifty or two hundred yards
turned suddenly around and threw him
loose upon the water. MIR. Penn swan
for the boat, into which he
climbed, and, nothing daunted, made
again for the fish, which he then sue.
ceeded in pitchfockiDg. By this time
things had become interesting to the
people on shore, and many had COL
lected together. Nh. Billy Heisler and
his son Daniel soon rOwed out to HELM.
and with another pitchfork fastened it
on to the other side, and thus pinned
tight the two boats towed it ashore.
John Cornish (colored) then got a rope,
tied it around its head, dragged it up
on the mud, and put it to tragical
end by knocking it in tho head. Al
terward Joshua Brick, Jr., carted the
fish around the town that it might be
seen by all who wished.
Mr.. Penn says it is probable that
the fish swan to the wharf because it's
eyes were shot out by the small shot,
as they found it blind. He tried ont
the fat and got seven or eight gallons
OF oil, but it proved to be so strong
that it was used only for wagon grease.
The old gentleman, the main actor
in this story, is still very active, is now
nearly 81 years of age, and tells the
tale of his fishback ride with lively
zest.

A Revelation OF the Paris Siege.

w. ~'>~~~ S"o@SSsSs
Shortly before tho late war broke
out, the Emperor Napoleon tasted q
sample of meat, and ordered sixty
tons. When the meat arrived in Paris
His Majesty had left to join the army,
and the authorities endeavored to get
the agent to cancel the contract. He
refused, and was asked to wait. He
was in correspondence with the author
tiles when Paris was invested. After
the siege he came back, fully expecting
that the meat had been consumed, and
that his bill would be paid. TO his
astonlshment the meat was intact. He
found it stored in the Palais de lin.
dustrie, which had served during the
first part of the seige as an ambulance,
and which was afterward crammcd with
Mobiles. A few CATS and dogs lives
might have been spared if the populace
had got scent of the store.

1ype.Settfng Machine.

The New York World, which offers
sou, oOO reward for the inveh Sion of q
machine which Will set type completely.
makes this announcement: A pair Of
machines for setting and distributing
type novel to this country. are at work
IN the composing room of the Christian
Union, No. ~ Park Place. They are
strongly constructed, simple and accu-
rate IN operation, and may be best de.
scrlbed by following the types through
the process III both machines. Begin
ming with the distributor, the type, rs
taken from the presses, is laid in
takes In an adjustable case, before
which sits the operator ata keyboard. A
lever lifts the first line of the matter to
q platform, where it is pressed stead
lily to the left by spring. The opera
tor reads the line and touches in order
the keys corresponding to each letter,
striking each off from the "form" and
opening at the same time O passage
through which each is guided. A series
of fiat tin tubes, Just large enough to
hold the type, is laid horizontally be-
low, and to each of these, by series
OF diverglng grooves, opened or closed
by the action of the keys, the types
pass singly, oil the As to one, all the
b's to another, and so on. This is one
ha!f OF the work. In the composer the
tubes are arranged vertically and in two
sets, one perhaps for Roman and an.
other for italics and small caps, for
each of which there is a keyboard,
The operation of setting is Just the re
verse OF the other. A key opens tEs
bottom OF each tube and drops the
proper type, which is guided by one OF
series OF converging vertical grooves,
and set in position in a horizontal
groove before the operator. A gentle
impetus controlled by a treadle and
eccentric pushes to the right hand the
line OF type as fast as it is set. This is
'justi6ed " in any lengths de.
sired by q second operator, whose
form" is automatically lower.
ca tor him as each additional
line comes along. Six composing and
eight distributing machines are used
in the London Times. The common
rate for the former is 1850 ems an
hour, and two composers will keer
three distributors busy, if necessary.
AS the tubes and grooves are fitted to
the type a change of font is, of course,
impossible with single machine-thal

Tor the news columns, and for the 10,
cal items respectively, three machines
