There is no possible excuse for this pro-

Some words are great travellers. and

bsrpsal. One Of these is the word

and they told many stories Of its mirac-
ulots interference in human affairs,
such, for instance. as the story of Arion
and the dolphins.
The dolphn's CONNECTION with the
god caused its figure TO be used as a
crest, and one was borne by the "wily
ULYSSES on his shield. The Romans
adopted the practice from the Greeks.
the Gauls from the Romans, and the
distorted image of a dolphin is frequent
ly seen on ancient coats-of-arms.
At the dissolution OF the Roman En-
pirc this crest had given name to one
o. the fa rest districts Of Southern
France the Province Of Dauphine- Its
beauty made il b1ne of contention-
In the fourteenth century, Humbert. its
Count, diving childless, bequeathed il to
the crown Of France on condition that
the heir-apparent should always bear
the title oi dauphin and rule in Dau-

brave boy who deserves to be called q
hero In situation Of sudden peril he
used precautions which prevented q
dreadful explosion, simply by behaving
with courage and presence of mind.
He noticed that his lamp flared up,
a sure sign OF the presence of dangerous
gas. Had he hastily rushed away. his
light might have burst through the wire
gatlze which surrounds miners lamp,
and setting fire TO the gas, caused q
heart-rending accident
The lad did nothing so silly. When
questioned by the Superintendent as to
how he found out that there was gas in
the neighborhood where he was at
work, he replied; "Because my lamp
fared."
"And what did you do thenr' asked
the gentleman.
II took my pricker and pulled down
the wick. but the lamp still flared."
"Well. my boy. and how did you man
age thenP"
"Why. put the lamp inside my jack

went out
OF course the lamp could not burn
without air.
