Rubinstein and Che peadhead.

Those whose mission in life 1t Is to en-.
terrain the public are always pestered
by friends and acquaintance for free
seats at their entertainments. There
probably never was singer or an actor
or pianist who was not bored nearly to
death by these people, many of whom
had not the slightest claim to ask the
courtesy they demanded.
A pianist who was pre-eminently sue
cessful in his day, and that day was not
far back either, was Rubinstein, who
travelled nearly the whole world over de-
lighting people with his genius. He,
Like all others, was very much annoyed
by requests for complimentary tickets,
but most of the time he maintained his
composure, even though justly irritated.
It is told of him that just before one of
his recitals in London he was accosted
by an old lady in the entrance hall and
thus addressed:
"Oh, Mr.. Rubinstein, am so glad to
see you! / have tried in vain to pur.
chase ticket. Have you seat you
could let me have?"
Madam" said the great pianist
"there is but one seat at my disposal
and that You are welcome to if you think
it to take it."
ooh, yes, and thousand thanks!
Where is it?" was the excited reply.
SAT the piano" smilingly replied Ru-
binstein. -Harper's Young People.

niv,Iiuv, Cai N;

State division is no new thing In Ameri-
ca. 1t is not exact to say that all the
lands formerly held in the west by the
old states formed an integral part of
these. But the lands held, say by Con-
necticut and Virginia and Ohio, were so
after a fashion and were merged into
a great state. Besides this, however,
we have the formation of Kentucky out
OF Virginia, Tennessee out of North
Carolina, Maine out of Massachusetts,,
Mississippi and Alabama out Of Geor-
gia. Vermont out of New York and
West Virginia out of Virginia. In none
OF these cases were the conditions more
diverse than those Of our two great di-
visions in California. There is no record
that any OF these regret their new state
hood, nor is there an intimation that
they desire or have ever desired to-
merge again into the old state.
Tho desire for local self government
in southern California arises from no
jealousies, no antagonists to northern
California, and, least of all, to political
place hunting. tits the result of econom-
ic and political necessities. We need q
state government of our own. In fed
eral affairs we have our own separate
officers, courts, military department,
etc.. just as Oregon has; we have our
OWE financial and industrial independ-
ence as much as Oregon has, and we have
a new population quite as distinct from:
that of northern California as is that Of
the state of Washington. e Californian.

A Telegraph Line Before nIorse,s.

Honor to the pioneers in the vast field
of sciencei Mr.. John Slime has published
at the Chiswick Press in pamphlet form
a very interesting memoir of Sir Francis
Ronalds. Twenty years before Wheat
stone and Cooke or Morse had patented
their Improvements in the telegraph, in
deed while the first two were respective
ly lads of 10 and IA years of age, Ro-
maids had sent messages over eight miles
of overhead wires of his own construc-
ton and had laid and worked service
able underground line of telegraph Of
sufficient length to demonstrate the
practicability of communication by teie-
graph between long distances.
Details of his overhead telegraph wires
were published by him in 1928. Ro-
maids residence at Hammersmith, where
these experiments were carried out, is
the house now and for long past occu-
pied by Mr.. William Morris, the poet,
who has caused tablet to be placed on
the wall bearing the inscription, "'The
first electric telegraph, eight miles long,
was constructed here in 1916 by Sir
Francis Ronalds, F. R. S." etc. An

ECONOMY I'm Foot Wear.

The neatest and most economical pos
sible foot wear is a low cut shoe of q
special pattern to be worn with CATERS
to match each dress. This style of foot
clothing has many advantages. The low
shoe is easily aired, and the inner sole
will retain the odors of the feet with the
neatest of persons if not properly aired,
especially when one walks much. The
gaiter breaks the apparent size of large
foot and forms very attractive finish
when matched to costumes.
Skirts rubbing against the front OF
high kid boots will wear the seam, while
the lower part remains in perfect condi-
ton. Caters, upon the other hand, can
be changed as soon as defaced and worn
with the same boot. Many pretty CATERS
are possible for different occasions and
styles of dress. -Jenness Miller Monthly,

The Cat I'm Ancient Times.


The cat was sovery highly regarded in
England at one time, both as a rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following salu-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill q Cat that
guards the Princes Creamery, he is to
forfeit mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with the head touching the floor,
would form heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former"
Though the Welsh had a high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had q
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they receiveda pub
lie burial, at which the people incurred,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
token of sorrow. The most prominent
cats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host adj
yanced, the Egyptians retired in confu.
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives Of
vast numbers of cats. And so the city
was taken easily and without the loss o,
blood or of a cat. 1t cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egg ptian cats must have
enjoyed lifeyery much. st. Louis Post

Calculating the Distance of a Storm.

Although lightning and thunder occur
always simultaneously, an interval of
shorter or longer duration is usually OBJ
served between these two phenomena,
which is due to the fact that sound trav-
els only at the rate of LOO feet per Sec
ond. while the passage of light is almost
instantaneous. Based upon this fact, it
Is an easy matter to tell, at least approx
imately. how many miles a thunder
storm is away. A normal pulse will
beat about one stroke to- the second, and
by counting the pulse beats during the
interval CT the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived at and
consequently the number of feet. which
can be reduced to miles.
For examples: If 80 seconds elapse be-
tween the fash Of the lightning and the
crash of thunder, the storm center is at
q distance of $4,000 feet, or about 81
miles. An almost accurate calculation
can be made by using watch with a
minute dial.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

It is an easy matter to detect the diff

rnev ,ake aurora, to order.

Artificial miniature auroras of the
borealis variety have been produced by
both De la Rive, the French savant, and
Lenstrom, the Swedish astronomer. In
Professor Lenstroin's experiments,
which were made in Finland, the peak OF
q high mountain was surrounded with a
coil of wire. pointed at intervals with
tin nibs. The wire was then charged
with electricity, whereupon a brilliant
aurora appeared above the mountain, in
which spectroscopic analysis revealed
the greenish yellow rays so character

Manufacturing Bank Notes.

A new principle has been suggested in
the manufacture of bank notes. If q
sheet of paper be plunged into mixture
of various coloring matters, each color
will penetrate into the fiber with diff
ferent degree of speed, each brand hav-
ing a distinct color. 1t would be impos
sible to initiate these effects without hn
exact knowledge of how the mixture of
colors was made. If a drop Of the mix
tureof colors be allowed to fall on sheet
of paper, number of rings, each having
determined size and shade, will be de-
veloped, and thus imitation will be rem
dered even more difficult.-New York
