Occasionally science must admit fail

hall at Yale undertook with toy rifle
to hit lamp. But his aim was poor
and the ball passed through the window
of an eminent and venerable professor
of science and embedded itself in the
wall.
This was the opportunity for the pro-

Courant. lie set to work and computed
the curve, and with the exact skill of in
fallible figures he traced the ball right
back to the room of an innocent col
league who didn't even know the rifle
had been fired.
The unfledged minister fatty denied
all knowledge of the affair. But men,
even ministers, have been known to
make denals in self-defense, and the
professor had tho proof with him.
There was the bullet, there were the
marks of its course, and there was the
computation worked out. 1t looked as

But the guilty student heard what

out that the man of science was 200 feet

that the matter be dropped right where
it was.
And that was done.

The game held little interest for the

A WOMAN TN 1T,


Although men regard trousers as
their special property, these garments
we're first invented and worn by wom-
en-. Men first adopted trousers about
$50 B. G. and they had to run the
Eantlet of chafling and jokes as do the
women nowadays who essay boomers
and knickerbockers.
1t was a woman and a Chinese en-
press at that who first took note of the
product of the silllworm and perfected
a method for utilizing it. Her nama
was See Heig and she lived about 2,S0o
years B. G.. 1t is to her we owe that de-
lightful fabric in all it's many vara-
tions. Women also nearly monopolize
the industry of designing for silk fab
rics.
A machine for manufacturing dim
Piles to order has been patented in the
United States by Berlin inventor. 1t
is described as resembling a carpen-
ter's bit stock. Dimpes on chin, cheek
or elbow may now be had for the ask
ing-and the price. Whether the man.
ufactured dimples will degenerate into
wrinkles like the real ones time will
develop.
Nineteen years after the patent office
was established in Washington the first
patent was issued to woman, Mary
Klies, who secured it for a method of
weaving silk or thread with straw.
This was in 1909. Six years later Mary
Brush patented the corset. During the
war quite number of patents were is
sued to women and most of them were
for contrivances for nursing or fight
ing. Since that time the number Of
feminine applicants for patents has in
creased at large rate. At the present
time about 300 women take out patents
year. They are mostly not orig
inal, but attachments to some device
previously existing.

be one person, but which all experience
says is still more than ever two. Could
Elsie Duncan write such a letter as
that to the man She loves? Would she
turn neat phrases and Bah! the
comparison is absurd! And yet, on the
other hand, it isn't fair to blame Helen
because I don't happen to be the one
man in the universe who is capable of
calling out the best there is in her; and
don't blame her. She may find the
right man yet; it's barely possible this
cruise in Morton's yacht will turn out
TO be more nearly a divine appointment
than all agreement made by our fathers
while we were in swaddling-clothes."
Thus Philip, in a plausible attempt
to justify himself. How should he know
that the cool and dispassionate letter
was only part and parcel of the hard
task Helen had set herself in the beg1l
ming? How was he to guess that she
had steadily resolved from the first to
say nothing that would tempt him to
turn back to his hurt? BY what inner
prescience should he have been enabled
to read between the lines the passionate
yearning that was so resolutely effaced
in the written words? AS he stood at
his window looking out into the calm
stiffness of the moonlit night, what
good angel was there to tell him that at
another window in far-off New England
the writer of that letter knelt with wet
eyes, beseeching the Merciful One to
protect and preserve the absent lover?
There was none; nor was there aAly in
ward monitor to hint that propinquity,
the charm of an innocent face, and a
simple outpouring of womanly SYM
pathy had united with his own moral
and physical weakness to turn him
aside from the plain way of rectitude
and honor.
