The crown lease of Ethan court and
palace, which forms one of the most
interesting links with the past which
have ever passed into the estate mar
ket, is advertised for sale, says the
London Chronicle. It's history dates
from the time of Edward the Confess
or G042-66). At that time the manor
belonged to the crown 1t wa grant
ed by William the Conqueror to his
brother Odo, earl of Kent, but revert
ed to the crown. While the date Of
the erection Of the palace is uncer-
tain, 1t is known that it was a royal
residence from 1870 to 1928. John
O Ethan" Edward H., Edward Ill,
Richard H., Henry w, Henry ", Ed
ward ", Richard Ill, Henry VII,
Henry VIII, Mary, Elizabeth and
James l., all resided at the palace. 1t

FaIsehood,

The first sin committed in this world
was a lie, and the first liar was the
devil. The Greeks, who allowed their
dieties almost every weakness and
every vice, held that they forfeited
heaven by falsehood, and that an oath
was as sacred to Jupiter, the cloud
compeller, as to the meanest denizen
of earth. A regard to truth is the
last of all the virtues, and supposes
high civilization. The savage is full
of ~falsehood, both in word and deed,
the ignorant man will deceive if he
can, but learns, if he promises to per-
form-in other language, to keep his
word when he has given it; an impor-
tant part of truth, but not the whole.

A diving bell constructed for use
in Lake Michigan was made of phos-
phor bronze 1ve-eighths of an inch
thick. Each plate was cast with a
rim and bolted to it's fellow as closely
as was consistent with strength. There
were ribs an inch thick and two inches
wide for increased resistance, and the
whole structure was very strongly
braced. Windows three inches square
were made Of inch-thich plate glass.
These were strengthened by iron bars.
The bell when completed weighed 49,
900 pounds. 1t was towed out into
Lake Michigan to a point where there
were 200 feet Of water, and down 1t
went for a test. When the line had
been paid put for 200 feet, there was
a curious culver Of the ropes, and fly
ing to the surface came some of the
heavy timbers that had been attached
to the bell. The experimenters were
astonished to find they were splintered
bell was hauled up only a shapeless
mass Of metal was found. The plate
glass windows were in powder, and
the entire structure had collapsed so
that its original shape could not be
determined. The pressure was esti-
mated at 86.8 pounds per square inch,
or 353 1924 pounds to a side six feet
square. This made the entire pressure
On the bell something over 1861 tons.

HURRIED
In Order That the Crowd Might Reach
Home Before the Rain.

nome bot0r0 the RAID
in earlier days" said Walter
Churchill of Topeka, at the Hotel I'm
perial, when a man was to be exc
cuted the community In which 1t oc-
CURED made an event of 1t. The hang
ings were held in public and in the
open. Generally the gallows was
placed on a hill so that a good view
could be had by all. The rural popu-
lation, bringing their luncheon with
them, came from the distant parts of
the countryside, and the streets gen.
orally took on the appearance Of fair
or circus days. Booths, where lemon
ade and such things were sold, merry
go-rounds, shooting galleries, ETC.,
were all there, and it was generally a
lively, interesting and amusing day
for every n but the condemned.
Apropos of this manner of treating an
execution my governor used to tell
an amusing story. The little town in
the northern state from which he came
was the county seat, and there one
day was to occur a hanging. 1t was,
/ think, the last execution that oc-
Cured in that state, capital punish
ment having since been abolished
there. When the fatal day for the
accused man came the people began
to arrive early, from far and near
they came, and as the hour for the
execution drew near the streets were
jammed to suffocation. The execution
was scheduled for noon, but at 1870
the heavens took on an ominous look,
and by II a drizzling rain had begun
and bore strong promise of becoming
a steady downpour before the day had
waned. The people began to grow
anxious, but the majority hung on
At this juncture the sheriff went to
the condemned man and said: LOOK
here, Bill, the whole county has turned
out to see you turned off, and now
there's a rain started and every ones
anxious to get home. They'll most
of them make 1t all right If they can
start in a few minutes, but If they
wait until noon the roads will be in
bad condition and many of them won't
get home in time to do the chores, and
that's serious. You're to be hung in
an hour, and an hour more or less
can't make much difference to you
while it makes a lot to them. Now
like a good fellow that you are, Won
you come out and be hanged now?
After some thought, the condemned
man replied: I'll do it if you'll give
me a red necktie to wea and hold al
umbrella over me on my way to the
gallows.' This was agreed to, ant
that hanging was pulled off an hou,
ahead OF scheduled time, although thu
condemned man complained bitterl.
that the sheriff held the umbrella 81
that the water from it trickled dow
the back Of his neck. Strange as j
may seem, this story in its essentia
features is literally true"

Ancient Writers whose Methods Are
Appreciated at Present Day.
If the English, German and Ameri-
can historical scholars should vote as
to who were the two best historians,
| have little doubt that Thucydides and
Tacitus would have a pretty large ma
jority, says James Ford Rhodes in the
Atlantic. If they were asked to name
a third choice it would undoubtedly be
between Herodotus and Gibbon. What
are the merits of Herodotus? Accu-
racy in details, as we understood 1t,
was certainly not one of them. Neither
does he sift critically his facts, but in
Inmates that he will not make a posi-
tive decision in the case Of conflicting
testimony. For myself" he wrote,
my duty is to report all that is said,
but I am not obliged to believe it all
alike"-a remark which may be under
stood to apply to my whole history. He
had none Of the wholesome skepti-
cism which we deem necessary il the
weighing of historical evidence; on the
contrary, he is frequently accused OF
credulity. Nevertheless, Percy Gard
ner calls his narrative nobler than that
Of T~hucydides, and Mahaffy terms ID
an incompatible history" 'The
truth u.s." wrote Macaulay in his diary,
when he was 4s years old, II admire
no historians much, except Herodotus,
ThucydideS and Tacitus."
