of King Louis XIV. He became min
lister, in 1868, and while before this
he was honest, so far as known, he
Immediately upon attaining official
position began to confound his own
purse with the public Golfers, into
which he plunged his greedy hands.
To leave a monument after him and
to display his sense of splendor and
magnificance he built the chateau OF
Vaux. He spared no expense and
lavished upon the mansion a sum that
would redeem a kingdom. To find
room for a park he tore down three
villages. This park was a bewilder-
ment to the eye. Its fountains, cas-
cades, lakes and statues were all that
art and money could make them. Up
on the building and the grounds he
expended a sum which to-day would
equal 100000 900.
The chauteau was the most splen-
did in France, or even in the world,
and when it was completed Fouquet
gave a "housewarming" the like of
which was never before seen and
probably. never since. King Louis
and his court were his guests. The
table groaned beneath its weight of
service in solid gold and the corners
of the earth had been ransacked for
delicacies for the royal and courtly
palate. Heaven itself was jealous of
the fete," wrote an historian of the
great function and while the hyperbole
is manifest, and, indeed, blasphemous,
it must be admitted that earth never
before saw such splendor and display.
1t would have been better for Fou-
quet had he been less extravagant.
The King wondered where he OBJ
tanned so much wealth and his sus-
picions became aroused. His cour-
tiers fed his suspicious and a little
later Fouquet was arrested and thrown
into the bastile. An examination of
his papers revealed that he had been
shamefully squandering the public
funds. A letter from lady found
among them thanked him for a gift
of 100000 francs. One man, a duke,
had received a present of 100000
francs; another nobleman had re-
ceived 100000 and so it went. Fou-

The Use of Electricity.

II is estimated by the census Of
fee that electricity has entered into
the daily life of the country to the
extent of seven dollars for each man,
woman and child in the United
States. OF this amount three dollars
goes to the electric traction compan-
les, $1.50 to the electric light con-
Germs, and rs cents to the telephone
companies. The telegraph also takes
about fifty cents a year from each OF
the 75.000,00O people. while the rest
of the seven dollars is charged off
to electric fire alarms, signals, and
general supplies.

How Water Freezes.

It used to puzzle all thinking peo-
pie why ponds and rivers do not freeze
beyond a certain depth. This depends
on most curious fact, namely, that
water is at its heaviest when 1t
reaches forty degrees Fahrenheit, that
is, eight degrees above freezing point.
On a frosty night, as each top layer
of water falls to forty degrees it
sinks to the bottom; therefore, the
whole pond has to drop to forty de-
grees before any of 1t can freeze.
At last it is all covered to this point,
and then ice begins to form. But ice
is very bad conductor of heat.
Therefore, it shuts off the freezing air
from the big body of comparatively
warm water underneath. The thicker
it gets the more perfectly does it act
as a great coat, and that is why even
the Arctic ocean never freezes beyond
a few feet in thickness.

Tragic History Of
Old French Chateau

The marriage of Mile Casimir-Per-
Ter, daughter of ex-President Casimir-
Perier, of France, and the fact that
she will make her home in the cha
teau of Vaux-Praslin, near Paris,
serve to recall the tragic history OF
this famous mansion, one of the most
magnificent ever erected by man. 1t
is associated with scenes of luxury,
and splendor, of which Lucullus never
even dreamed, while connected with
it are a murder, case of suicide and
a death, if not of violence. at least
OF disgrace.

WHAT DID NOAH EAT7
Pertinent Question as to Sustenance
on Board the Ark.

Pertinent Question as to Sustenance
on Board the Ark.
There is no record, so far as know,
of what Noah and his family ate dur
ing the flood. After telling Noah what
to take in the ark, God said: Every
living substance that 1 have made will
| destroy from off the face of the
EARTH" There were no tanks in the
ark, according to the best known de-
signs, therefore the aquarium existed
not. There is no record of the price
of beef; therefore we are permitted
to draw an inference. Beef was high
er tnen than it has been since, for it
was on a par with the game. and
game was higher than the highest
mountains of earth. Therefore fish.
God did not tell Noah to take fish into
the ark. He must have thought that
fish could take care of themselves.
But all flesh and creeping things were
destroyed. The chances are that
Noah and the boys wet a few lines
during the forty days and nights of
water, but they may have used nets.
The first mention that we have of fish
hooks is about 7S7 B. c., whereas
Noah and the boys were catching
founders and "weaks" in 2349 B. c.

the mansion henceforth was called
the chateau de Vaux-Prasin.
The tragedies are connected with
the ducal family. In 1924 the then
Duke of Praslin, Carl, married Fan
ME, the beautiful daughter of Gen.
Sebastiani, a marshal of France For
seventeen years they lived happily to-
gether and had nine children. In
1841 the duchess engaged governess,
Mile. Deluzy, for her daughters, and
the duke promptly fell in love with
her. Family dissensions arose and
the governess was dismissed, going
to Paris, where the duke visited her.
A month later the duke and his entire
house in Paris over night on their
way to watering place, the duke and
duchess occupying adjoining apart
ments on the lower floor. During the
early morning hours shrieks were
heard coming from the rooms occu-
pied by Zoe duchess. Servants rushed
to the scene and to their knocks the
doors were opened by the duke who
stood. candle in hand, dressed in his
morning gown, which was all stained
with blood. On the floor lay the Grim
son-stained body of the duchess, with
twenty fearful stab wounds, pouring
out their gore. The duke told an i'm
possible story of the tragedy and was
thrown into prison on the charge of
murder. Before he could be tried by
his peers he committed suicide by
taking poison.
1t is said that the chateau is
haunted by Fouquet and the duke and
duchess and that high old jinks at
times take place in the centuried pile.
Mile. Casimir-Perier, however, is
woman of pluck and courage and we
pity the dukes spirit if she gets aft
er it. Her husband is a sugar king
of France, M. Sommier, who is said to
have an income of 10000 francs a day.
Knowing the history of the chateau
it is probable that he will keep his
