Interesting Facts About the English
Prime Minister.

Interesting Facts About the English
Prime Minister.
The present Prime Minister is man
who would have succeeded in most any
walk of life he had chosen to ollow. The
lead OF an historical family, and possessed
of great wealth, his opportunities have no
doubt been great; but for all that it is to
his great natural abilities that he mainly
owes his success. 1t must be remembered
that he had made figure IN the world
when he was plain Lord Robert Cecil, and
before there was any likelihood of his COM
ing into the family title and estates.
Robert Arthur Talbot Gascoyner-Cecil
was born IN 1880 and was educated at Elton
and Christ Church, Oxford At the uni
verslty he was a frequent and effective
speaker at the Union Deb batting Society, and
in 1858 he was elected member of Parlia-
ment for the family borough of SIAM
lord. -Four years later he married Miss
Anderson, daughter of the Judge of that
name. Her parents were opposed to the
union, not considering Lord Robert Cecil
a sufficiently good match. LORD Robert
was then a younger son, and with very
little money at his disposal. Indeed, in
the year OF his marriage he took to jour
nall9m IN order to supply the deficiency of
somewhat inadequate allowance.
In that year the Saturday Review was
started, and soon became famous by the
cleverness, wit and daring of its articles
Lord Robert Cecil was one OF the earliest
and most valued contributors. 1t was be-
tween 1859 and 1866 that he made his mark
in the Commons. This was in Lord Palm
erston' S second administration. 1t was in
1865 that his elder brother died and he be-
came Lord Cranborne and heir to the Mar
quisate. In the following year, on the
formation of Lord Derbys third admins
tration, he was appointed Secretary Of
State for India. His father died in 1867.
and he came into the title and entered the
House of Lords. He soon established a
reputation as foremost debater in the up
per house. In 1874 he took office, under
Mr.. Disraeli, and in 1876 was sent to Con-
stantinople TO try and help to settle the
dispute between Russia and Turkey. He
also went with Lord Beaconsfield to the
Berlin Congress, and rendered great assist
ance III that affair.
On the death of Lord Beaconsfield in
ID so Lord Salisbury became the recognized
le ader OF the Conservative party. He be-
ca me Premier in June, 1885, on the resig-
ma ton of Mr.. Gladstone, and again after
tn general election of 1856. The presen mt
is, therefore, Lord Salisburys third ad-
mlnistration. The Marquis of Salisbury
has perhaps won more laurels by his man
aEement Of foreign affairs than by his
dome ste policy. Rightly or wrongly. he
is edited with great diplomatic skill.

STOPPING A GREAT SHIP.
The Tremendous Momentum That Has

The Tremendous Momentum That Has
to BE Arrested.
The motion of a steamship on the At
lantic, when the sea is calm, is so smooth
and steady that the passenger hardly
realizes the tremendous momentum of the
vessel under his feet. A collision, even
after the engines have been slowed down,
gives startling revelation of the energy
OF motion. This energy can also be ac-
curately calculated with the aid of mathe-
NAUTICAL formulas, and the time and dis
lance within which the motion can be
totally arrested and the ship be brought
to stand, may be ascertained in similar
manner. This calculation has recently
been made for several we'll known ships

When not in London or abroad, Lord
Salisbury spends most of his time at his
magnificent and historical country seat at
Hatfield.
Hatfield House is one of the finest of the
ancestral homes of the English nobility.
1t was built in the reign of James /, and
the date of its completion, 1911, stands
over the principal entrance. 1t is a noble
mansion, and its superb park, intersected
by avenues of oaks and beeches, almost
unequaled in their magnitude and beauty,
is one of the most beautiful scenes in the
country.
Hatfield is crowded with objects of his
torical interest, not the least remarkable
of which are those connected with Queen
Elizabeth, of whom there are four or five
portraits in the collection. Here we see
the Queens silk stockings, deliberately en-
broidered, the first of their kind ever
brought to this country; her garden hat
of plated straw or cane work, which she
is said to have worn while sitting under

Il saw by the papers the other day
where three of the famous Sprinkle dol
lars had shown UP" said f. L. Strow-
bridge of Peoria, Ill.
do you know what the Sprinkle dol
lars were? Nor Well, Josiah Sprinkle
the man in question, lived in one of the
toughest sections of Lewis County, Ken
lucky. Washington, the county seat of
Mason, was then thriving town. One
day Sprinkle, then an old man, appeared
in Washington with buckskin pouch full
OF silver dollars of his own make.
In every respect they appeared the
equal OF the National coin. The weight
was more than at present, and the quality
ana ring were all that could be asked for
he spent them freely and everybody
accepted them upon the assurance Of
Sprinkle that they were all right, except
That they were not made by the United
States Mint. Upon being asked where he
got the silver, he replied: 'Oh, it don't
matter There is plenty of it left The
INSCRIPTIONS on the coins were rudely out
Ineu, ana IN no wise was an attempt made
at initiating the National coin. On one
side OF the coin was an owl and on the
other slx-pointed star. The edges were
smooth. The coins were cOnsidera bly,
larger and thicker than the United States
coin. Whenever Sprinkle came to town
ne spent the dollars OF his own make.
AT one time he volunteered the infor-
nation that he had = silver mine in the
West, but the old man refused TO tell any
one where it was located. Finally the
Government agents heard OF the matter
and came on to investigate. Sprinkle was
arrested and brought into court, but the
dollars were proven to re pure silver,
with a!loy-worth, in fact, trifle more
than 81 each. After an excited trial he
was acquitted. When the verdict was an
nOunced Sprinkle reached down in his
pockets and drew out a bag of fifty Of the
coins and paid his attorney in the pres
ence of the astonished officials. Sprinkle
was never after bothered, and continued to
make the dollars until the time of his
death. He died suddenly and carried the
secret Of his silver NINE with him. This
was IN the early SOS, and it has been
twenty years since a Sprinkle dollar has
been found. "-Washington Post.

They were intelligent animals, and took

In a comparatively short time they were

The Thermophone.

The thermophone is new electrical in
strument for determining temperatures,
especially those of some distant or inacces-
sible place, as the bottom of pond or the
sea. Sounds are produced by the changes
IN an electric circuit, due to variations in
temperature. The electrical resistance OF
metals increases with a rise in tempera-
ture and the rate OF increase is different for
each metal. Two coils, therefore, having
the same resistance at a particular temper
allure, will vary widely at any other
temperature, so that should they be con-
nected with an electric measuring
balance or bridge their results could be
compared. The Introduction of tele-
phone enables small changes to be noted.
The instrument is located at any point and
may have a number of coils connected
with 1t, the same being placed in the
rooms of large office buildings or in cold
storage warehouses, etc, and the tempera-
ture registered on q dial. The thermo-
phone will be great aid to physicists in
determining the fluctuations in the tenn
perature of the soil and the difference in
temperature between the water at the sur
face and at the bottom OF pond or lake.
The instrument is extremely sensitive and
accurate, is independent of pressure, quick
setting and quickly read is portable and
contains no mercurial thermometers

Chronic Disease Treatment.
Free to All who Call in Person at the
Offices of the Copeland Medical In
stitute, 916 Market Street.

To enable all to obtain some definite under
standing of their new system of chronic dis
ease treatment and to test its great practical
advantages over all other methods Drs. Cope
land, Neal and VIM offer to all sufferers from
Catarrh or other durable chronic maladies
trial treatment free. Remember, that all who
apply in person viii now be cordially welcome
to careful examination, advice and treat
ment, upon their first visit, absolutely free of
charge.
Chronic diseases are diseases that have been
allowed to become old or OF long standing be-
cause of carelessness and negligence on the
part of the patient, or inability % she family
physician to cure in the acute or early stages.
Chronic diseases in themselves, as general
rule, are not speedily fatal, but they are more
or less insidious, and If allowed to run on UNI
dermine the general health and strength of the
patient and produce liability to take on more
dangerous diseases by exposure to such weather
as we are now experiencing.
Chronic diseases require treatment directly
opposite to that OF acute diseases, and the at
tention of doctors specially trained and spe-
cialy equipped for that purpose. Drs. Cope
land, Neal and VIM have devoted years of ex-
elusive attention to the treatment of this class
of diseases, and feel that they have attained
scientific mastery over them. Four years in
one location, during which time they nave
treated over $4,000 patients, is a record to be
proud OF.

THE TINTODfETER.
A Continuance for Measuring Colors
Recently Invented in England.

A Continuance for Measuring Colors
Recently Invented in England.
The tintometer, as its name implies, is
tint or color measure. 1t is the invention
of j. w. Lovibond, who has devoted some
twenty years Of work and thought to the
perfection of the continuance, which, hay
ing been IN use more or less privately for
seven or eight years past in many tech
nlcai industries, and for various special
purposes, has now been taken over by
company and placed on the market. To
the man in the street probably the uses
OF a continuance of this nature seem
scarcely very obvious at first sight.
This only shows how little the man
III the street knows about the mat
ter. For the uses of the tintometer are
believed to be nearly endless. This will
be realized when it is borne in mind that
IN the case Of practically every substance,
natural or manufactured, known to man
color is an absolute index of its quality.
Consequently you have only to ascertain
It's color exactly in order to know at once
the quality OF the substance you are deal
ing with. And this1s what the tintometer
enables you to do. Take -four. The quality
OF -four can be told to nicely by it's color.
Hence you have only to ascertain the posi-
ton OF any given specimen of -four in the
color scale to know its value "But how
ABOUT aduIteratlon {" some one Will ask at
once; 'cannot an inferior flour be coIored
by the addition OF some foreign substance
to match the shade desired ?" Certainly it
can be, but the tintometer would detect
the fraud at once
What, then, is the tintometer? Briefly,
1t consists of carefully graded series OF
colored glasses-about the SIZE and shape
OF small microscope sldes-by means of
which, used singly or superimposed one
on top of the other, any desired shade or
color can be matched with absolute ex-
actitude. And when it is realized that
there are just 100000 shades which can
be obtained IN this fashion it will be
understood that the color which cannot
be matched by the tintometer must be
very hard to find, indeed In point of
fact, there is no color or tint perceptible to
the ordinary human eye which cannot
be obtained. These slips of glass are
placed on slide 81 the end OF a double
parallel-sided wooden tube, something
like an elongated stereoscope to look at,
with two small apertures at the lower end
and eyepieces to look through at the
upper. The substance to be matched is
placed under the one aperture, and then,
by changing the slips of glass TO the re-
CURED extent beneath the other, the de-
sired tint is readily obtained.-West-
minister Budget.
