A Mobilian Gives Bit of History as to It's
 Manufacture.
 Mobile Register.
 In the Register of Sunday last was re- printed from the Illustrated American an article about Col. James Bowie and the celebrated knife which bears his name, and with which he is said to have done such terrible execution at the battle of the Alamo in the Mexican war. In that article the statement was made that the knife was made in Philadelphia for Col onel Bowie and that he afterward had it patented.
 Yesterday a Register reporter had talk with distinguished citizen of Mo- bile, who is a kinsman of the late pr. Henry s. Levert, and he stated that Col onel Bowie never did patent the Bowie knife. The story of the knife, as he tells it. is as follows: Dr. Levert who was a distinguished citizen of Mobile in the early part of the present century, was a warm personal friend of Col. James Bowie. The original Bowie knife Colonel Bowie had made from a blacksmith's rasp, but the knife which was of the pat tern that now bears his name was made for him in Philadelphia by an instru- ment maker who flourished in those days and was reputed the best in the country. named Shiverley.
 This knife was made from a model whittled out of white pine by Colonel Bowie himself, and sent on to Philadel- phia to his friend, Dr. Henry s. Levert, who was at that time residing temporar- fly in Philadelphia. It was from this model that the celebrated knife was made and was sent to Colonel Bowie as a pres ent from Dr. Levert. There was no pat ent taken out on the knife by Colonel Bowie and the one made from his model is the one that he ever after carried, and f1a trith tSr11i oh hn I fapt. h Ia. execution at the battle of the Alamo. The gentleman who related this story vouches for the correctness of it, as he heard it from the lips of his kinsman. pr. Levert.

It had been worked out and put aside, and the supposition is that some one told him the answer which was lit tie incorrect, on purpose. and he gave the answer exactly as it appeared on the pa- per The proposition was this, and was given him by Dr. A. Lawson: Suppose a wheel is 40 inches in diameter and turns at the rate of 1750 times a minute, how many miles would 1t travel in twenty four hours? Now, that's a hard sum and no mistake. The prodigy tackled it and worried with it for more than an hour. He was dead set" on getting the 20 cents Dr. Lawson promised him for the right answer. The trouble he had with the proposition was the fact, as after wards developed. he had no idea of the relation of diameter to- circumference. If he had known this he would have get- ten the answer speedily, for his calcula- tions up to this point were all right. He got his quarter, but never did get the cor rect answer. But there is no doubt of his being wonderful mathema tician.- Greensboro Watchman.
