According TO Lord Rayleigh, certain
experiments have shown vibration Of

one-twelve millionth OF n centimeter

such n vibration would be so short that
II would have to be enlarged 100 times

There was n date at one end of the line
and at the other a sum Of money, as in
common account-books; but instead Of
explanatory writing only varying
number of crosses between the two.
On the 18th of June, 1745, for instance.
q sum of G70 had plainly become due
to some one, and there was nothing but
six crosses to explain tho cause. In
few cases, 10 be sure, the name of a
place would be added, as "Offe Carac-
cas-" or n mere entry Of latitude and
longitude. as "62 degrees, II minutes,

The record lasted over nearly 30
gears, the amount of the separate en-
tries growing larger as time went on,
and at the end grand total had been
made out after five or six wrong adj
ditions, and these words appended:
"Bones his pile"
"I can't make head or tail OF this"
said DIR. Livesey.
."rhe thing is clear as MONDAY"
cried the squire. This is the black
hearted hounds account-book. These
crosses stand for the names Of the
ships or towns that they have sunk or
plundered. The sums are the scoun-

Queen Elizabeth was not the angelic
creature represented in the histories

was red, her temper red-hot. She some
times drank too much, and at any prov
ocation she would curse like trooper.
She frequently swore at her maids, and
sometimes struck, kicked and pinched
them. Mary Stuart, of Scotland, was
not beauty. She had cross eyes, and,
to save the trouble of having her hair
dressed, cut it of close TO her head and
wore n wig. When, after her death,
