T When the man behind the desk

ant discovery made by the Cavaliere
Giuseppe Pedercini-the finding of an
other 'emissarium'' of Roman con-
struction, at lower level than the
present one, through which the over
flow Of the lake is drained.
Between the two levels, the ancient
and the one in actual use. it lis ex-
pected that the ruins Of the villa of
Julius Caesar will be found. Its dis
covery would solve several archaeolog-
ical problems which are not explained
at the present time.
The lake of Nemi, which fills the
crater Of an extinct volcano in the
heart Of the Alban hills, is, with it's
larger sister lake of Albano, one of the
1oveliest of the many lovely scenes in
the vicinity Of Rome. Seen from the
grounds of the Villa -Cesarini,
which overhang it's steep banks on one
side, there are few sights in the world
SO attractive, and fewer still that pos
sess so historical an interest.
The lake of Nemi is four miles in
circumference at the waters edge. A
temple of Diana at one period stood in
the little plain between the lake and
the tiny town of Nemi, which stands
on the ridge or lip of the crater. The
late Lord Saville, while he was Brit
ish ambassador at the court of the
Quirinal, made a contract with the
proprietor of the lake and it's sur
:roundings, Poince Orsini, for the right
to excavate on the site of the temple
of Diana, the ambassador to bear all
the expenditure and the proprietor to
receive half the objects discovered At
that time the existence of the ships
lying on the bottom of the lake was
we'll known.

Tale OF q Green ParasoI,

A young lady, now a resident of Mil
in Waukesha, met young man whose
devotion to her was one of uncom-
mon order. Whenever he saw her
on the street all thoughts of business
were Immediately banished from his
mind, and the time never seemed to
fly so quickly as when spent in the
fair ones company. Unfortunately,
however, he was extremely nearsight-
ed, and could recognize the object OF
his alteration only when she came
within close range.
Whether it was bit of foresight on
her part or not, is not known, but one
summers day this young lady pur-
chased silk parasol of a brilliant
emerald hue. The young man had
cause for great rejoicing, for wherever
his lady love went this vivid green
radiance went with her, and many
were the interviews this bit of fnery
brought about. @'
One sweltering day the young man
thought he espied the Signal which
revealed her whereabouts. 1t was
some three or four blocks away and
he started for it on a run. He called
her by name, but without avail, which
only caused him to redouble his eff
forts. The perspiration was running
down his face, when he stopped before
a flaring green poster On a billboard,
which he had taken for the parasol Of
his adored one. X -.

New Incandescent Bulb.

E. e. Rines, an Indianapolis cleo
trician, has invented an incandescent
bulb by which the degree Of illumina-
tion may be varied. His invention
is especially designed for dwellings,
hotels and hospitals. He has taken an
ordinary sixteen candle power globe
and arranged it So that it may be
turned to use eight, four or two can
die power. This is done by using con-
nections that are different from the
old style, and two filaments-the little
wires that curve round inside the
bulb
BY turning the globe q little, the
light may be reduced from sixteen to
eight candle power. A little farther
reduces it to four, and still farther to
two Then, if it is desired to have six
teen candle power again, one just turns
it back and the light burns bright. The
advantages of this system in sick
room will be appreciated by hospital
authorities, Rines thinks. The saving
in power is an advantage to dwellings,
he says.

CALLED ST. AUGUsTtNE's CHAIR.

But Considerable Doubt Is Expressed in
Antiquarian Circles.
In antiquarian circles considerable
doubt exists as to the authenticity Of
the chair at present in the Municipal
Museum at Canterbury, England.
which the Bishop of Hereford wishes
to be returned to it's original quarters
in the chancel of the village church at
Stanford Bishop. The chair is suppos-
ed to have been made by ST. Augustine
when spreading Christianity in the
Herefofdshire district It was aiscov-
cred a few years ago by the late Dr..
James Johnston, and is claimed to be
the most perfect example of ancient
British carpentry in existence.
The chair is made Of roughly hewn
oak boards fastened together with
wooden pegs. It is ob}ong in shape,
measuring thirty-two inches in
breadth and twenty-five inches in
width. The seat is twentytsix inches
in length and eighteen inches in
width, and appears to have been origi-
nally two inches in thickness. It is
movable, like the lid of a box, the
hinges being two round lemons in
serted into mortise holes in the rear
posts. The construction of the chair
is similar in many respects to an old
Roman solium. The chair may date
from the year $50, but it is doubtful
if Augustine used it.

Fast Riding for Consumptives.

A London physician tells the Times,
in letter, that he has noticed among
patients taking the open air treat
ment for consumption beneficial ef-
fects produced by riding in motor
cars at a speed of from thirty to fifty
miles per hour. The swift motion
through the air is credited by him
with causing, along with a marked
feeling of exhilaration, increased ap-
petite, improved sleep, healthy
glow tending, after few days treat
ment, to become permanent, and a
diminution of the tendency to cough.

Whom Did Life Begin on the Earth7
The epoch Of the beginning of life
on the earth cannot be carried back,
according to the reasoning of Mr.. F.
J: Allen, farther that the date OF the
appearance of water on the earth's
surface. The powerful shocks of light
ming which must have occurred con-
tinually in the damp, warm at
mosphere then existing, led to the pro-
duction of ammonia and the oxide of
nitrogen, as happens to-day. These
substances were carried down in So
luton by the rains and on the surface
of the earth met solutions of carbonic
acids and the Chords, sulphates and
phosphates of the alkalies and metals.
This was then the first opportunity for
the formation of varied nitrogenous
combinations and for the coming into
being of the first living substance.
