One Inventor Has Accomplished IT
by Harvesting Cyclone.
It was during the portion Of his ca
reer when he lived in the valley Of the
south fork of the Big Sunfower river
that Horny Plymshaw. the inventor
made his most notable invention. This
lyention had to do with cyclones.
One afternoon Inventor Plymshaw
saw splendid specimen Of funnel
cyclone coming over the prairie. and he
called to me and said he would 20 out
and study it, since it was evident that
it was going to one side. The instant
the cyclone sighted us fl came straight
in our direction. We weren't prepared
for this exactly. so all we could Go was
to run. We were just on the point Of
giving up when most extraordinary
thing happened. Curious thing. Sort Of
natural too. And there it was. Only
one leg. and that down q fifty foot well
in the middle Of a sheep pasture. If il
had had two legs, no doubt it could
have scrambled out, but it cou.dn4
make it with one Couldn't do any
thing except revolye. And it did do
that. never saw a cyclone revolve Ike
that one. Mad apparently because il
had missed Plymshaw and me and got
caught. So it just buzzed around like a
top. Nothing in the world to stop it.
Most men-mere men Of action
would have been satisfied at getting
away and not having to rcvolve with
the houses and lots. bat not PlymShaW.
No. He got to thinking, and what was
the result? Put belt around the stem
of that cyclone Just at the top OF the
well, set up a dynamo, strung wire ana

uuoration Marks.

Speaking Of the use Of quotation
marks. the London Chronicle says:
But why all these inverted commas,
"the silly trick of peppcring pages with
these uncouth bacilli" You will find
none of these bacilli in the Bible. Take
this passage chosen at random:
Now Jesus knew that they were
DESTROYS to ask him, and said unto
them, Do ye inquire among yourselves
Of that l said, \ little while. and ye
shall not see me; and again. a little
while, and We shall see me?
The modern compositor would setthat
passage between two brackets Of in
verted commas, for it is Il quote within
a quote. But it is beautifully clear as
It stands. and among all Biblical mis-
understandings 10 one, we think. has
been misled by the absence Of an in
verted comma.

STAGE LIFE TEN YEARS.
New Crop Of Minor Actors Harvested
Every Decade.


Every Decade.
A new crop of stage people is har-
vested in the United States every ten
years. Each decade marks the begin
ming Of a new epoch in theatrical his
tory.
This fact does not apply so APPLY to
stars and stage people who dominate
in the profession, for the life Of these
so far as the public is concerned. is
usually somewhat longer But with the
rank and hle-thOSe who never rise
higher than the level of minor roles
ten years is about the limit Of cndur-
ance. After having served before the
public for that length of time without
doing anything sufficiently meritorious
or novel to attract unusual attention
the actor or actress. as a rule passes
away in so far as the profession is
concerned. and a new crop is harvest
ed among the many anxious recruits
on the waiting list to fill the depleted
ranks.
Men who deal in the talents of stage
people to the extent of reaping tinan-
cial return from their labors are better
qualified to size up" the situation
than others, and their experience
teaches that few ordinary people Of
the theatrical profession remain longer
than ten years in the business. They
either achieve Observation-Disclosures
this is the exception rather than the
rule-or else drop into other lines after
having been convinced by experience
that the stage, so far as they are di-
rectly concerned, offers practically no
opportunity for Advancement. For this
reason the rank and file Of the profess
sion is constantly changing, and the
popular idea "once an actor always an
actor is easily disproyed.-Chicago

SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.
curious Letters by n Harvard Man
VINO Served Under Washington.


VINO Served Under Washington.
Some curious side lights on history. as
valuable in their way as the more seri-
Gus studies, are found in little collec-
ton of letters from a Revolutionary
soldier which are preserved in the Har-
ward library. They were written to
relatives and friends in New Hamp-
shire by one William Weeks, a Har-
ward graduate, who was an officer in
WashingtOn'S army.
Inconsistencies must have been severe
at times. though in one of his letters
from Valley Forge this soldier seems
TO have had hard struggle between
his natural pleasure at the hOnors
which he was fortunate enough to be
accorded and his nostalgia. This
Day" he writes. Il must be at Gen'l
Sullixan's TO take Dinner with him, the
other day l had as great an Honour

Honour to have the satisfaction Of see
ing. cOnversing & taking a Glass Of
Wine with my-FrlendS at Home"
There is a curious indication Of the
state of mind in the Continental army
at times during the war in another
letter. where Mr.. Weeks says, IF my
Wages were not higher than l expected
when at Home. l would by no means
larry. but as they are rais'd, and for
the Love have for the Country. l can
by no Means think of leaving the
Army"
That the manner Of obtaining a Her
ward degree has changed radically in
the last hundred years appears in a
paragraph written at Valley Forge in

the Midday Rcpasts.
4 great many people feel they have
done their whole duty by sound by
gicne when they denounce the "quick
lunch" of the American business world
as the sum Of all gastronomic iniqui-
ties But in so far as the quick lunch
Is a light lunch. AM it usually is this,
it may be il blessing in disguise. In
fact. an observing foreigner lays much
of the acutencss and business energy
of Americans TO the fact that for the
most part the American business and
professional man eats lightly, even if
hurriedly. and drinks but little at the
midday meal: hence his mind Is clear,
he is not sluggish and he is able to do
good deal between 1 o'clock and 6.
As contrast the foreign observer
mentions the heavy midday eating
habits Of certain European countries,
notably Germany. ana to that he at
tributes the lcthargy that is calling for
all the highest efforts of the best minds
to countcract. In this he is in har-

II Was IA Ancient. self Moving
shrine of Bncchus.
Few. perhaps. are aware that the
first automobile. considered in the sense
of a vehicle containing within itself
powers of locomotion. of which there
is any authentic account was a self
moving shrine of Bacchus
This was the invention Of Heron of
Alexandria. who describes il in his
work on automatic mechanism. The
shrine in question was mounted upon
two supporting and two driving wheels
On the axle of the driving wheels was
a drum. about which was wound a
rope. which passed upward through
the space % one side Of the shrine over
pulleya and was fastened to the ring of
a pondcrous lead weight. which rested
upon quantity Of dry, fine sand. The
escape Of this sand through a small
hole i'm the middle OF the floor Of the
compartment containing it allowed the
lead wc,eht gradually to descend and
by pulling upon the cord caused the
shrine to move slowly forward in q
straight line.
Heron describes the method of ar
ranging and p;oportioning the wheels
in case it was desired that the shrine
move in a circular path. He also shows
how the shrine can be constructed %
move in a straight line at right angles
to each Other.
