thousand and forty-eight ancestora
This sort of argument has been used
BY superficial genealoxists to show
that 1T the time Of william the Com
queror each Of ms had more ancestors
than the total population Of England,
hence we must be descended from every
Englishman of that day. including ths
immortal william himself.
The absurdity Of this sort Of reason
ing has just been pointed out by Prof.
Brooks, Of Johns Hopkins. His imme-
diate object il TO establish point In
al silly genealoRists st the same time.
While it is true that We do have four
grandparents. they need not be four
separate and distinct persons. First
cousins have not more than three sep
arste grandparents; II they are doubly
cousins they have but two. So In the
tenth generation ones two thousand
and forty-eight aneestors are never
two thousand and forty-eight separate
persons. they abound in ''dupiicates,"
70 to speak. - everyone knows who
has tried 70 trace his descent, not In
one lire, but in ~ possible linea Thess
duplicates abound especially In small
communities, whose inhsbitants have
intermarried for yearA
Besides this the lines from . given
pair Of ancestors tend TO become ex-
tinct sooner Or later, 90 - ancestry y
traced back, the probability II that Ill
the persons living in . given eonmu-
nifty will Be found to b descended, not
from al. hut from . very few-perhaps
only one or two-of the inhabitants Of
the community - they were centuries
ago. So instead Of having sll English
men Of the year 1000 for our ancestors.
the probability II that We are de-
scended from comparatively few Of
them-the number may be technically
many Thousands, but one individual

Incnndesccnt Lamp Cleaner.

Many people blanc tho central sta
tion for the poor light from their iincan-
descent lamps, when the fault is really
their own. They allow their lamps to be
dirty. 1t has been shown that one day s
accumulation of dust OH incandescent
bulbs cuts Off 8 per cent of the light, so
the result of few days neglect can
easily be guessed. As g means of remov-
ing to q great extent the frequent COM
plants of poorness Of light Il central
station recommends tho use Of lamp
cleaner which greatly facilitates the
process of dusting tho bulbs. To Il 3 foot
handle is attached IL strong Wire frame
work, which carries number Of felt
mittens. BY forcing the frame over each
lamp and giving the handle few turns
the dust on the glass is removed, lcav-
ing the bulb as clean us when it left the
factory. Each cleaner is provided with
a set of rubber friction pads that will
when suitably placed on tho mittcns,
remove and replace burned out lamps
The handle can be extended so as to
reach lamps at any distance. This de-
vice makes the cleaning of lamps very
quick and easy task. Louis Globe

The London Musical Herald tells a
queer story about Jack Wilson'S tomb
i'll the Little Cloisters at Westminster
abbey. Wilson was Shakespeare tenor
He WAS probably the first to sing Sigh
No More. Ladies, " and he died at the
age of rs, i'll 1913. Tho inscription on
his tomb at the abbey was much oblit-
Grated, and under the direction of an
antiquary man was employed to recut
the letters The antiquary stood locking
over him, so that he should make no
mistake, and to make the time go pleas
antly he expatiated at great length to
the workman upon the grandeur and
merits Of the deceased. The man even
tnally stopped his work, and looking up
at the antiquary said, Il wish, sir, we

a MODERN NAVAL BATTLE.
The Spectacle II Grand Ono and tho Ex-

pcricnce Thrilling.
A layman has no conception of the
awful nature of battle in modern naval
vessels. Even the cruisers have steel
sides, and the air of the inclosed spaces
is very confined The din made by the
impact of heavy projectilo against
these metal sides is awful beyond de-

200 degrees L. The skin of their hands
and arms was actually roasted off, and
every man was blinded for life tho sight

been burned off and my eyes so impaired

and 10 wounded by that shot Early in

fire. They shirllcd that duty, but when
called upon the men to volunteer to
