Women on the Stage.

An attempt was made at Blackfriars
theater in 1920 to introduce French
women on the stage. but without sue
cess. and the appearance of Mrs. Cole

in 1866 was of a private character.
ON Dec. s, 1900. an actress, whose
name in not certainly known, took the
part of Desdemona at killigrews thea
tere in We're street. when a prologue
to introduce the first woman" was writ
ten by Jordan.
Letters patent were granted by
Charles H., dated Jan. Is, 1862, to Sir
William Davenant, and these recited
that whereas women's parts had for
merly been taken by men, to remedy
this abuse it was now permitted and
leave given" that all women's parts
then, and for the time to come, should
be performed by women.

HOW EAGLES FIGHT.
A Furious Battle Between Two Q
the Big ESirJa

A FCrious Battle Between Two of
the Big Birds.
A small party Of gentle men. most all
of whom had tinges of sporting procliv-
tiles i'll their blood. were discussing the
subject Of chicken fighting. An old
farmer from Rappahannock county,
Va, broke into the conversation.
Gentlemen" said he, lin my time
have seen some bang up chicken fights,
but the greatest fight 1 ever saw be-
tween birds in all my born days was
contest between a bald eagle and a
gray eagle near my old place in Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place on the bank Of
the river l couldn't forget it if lived
to be as old as Methuselah. l was the
only spectator and saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagle
had caught a muskrat and was about
to eat it for breakfast when the gray
eagle scared down and attempted to
rob the other one Ct Its prey. Then
commenced the combat and. Lord, how
the feathers flew! They fought with
" DcSlhS tllu lIlOilS, anu SOulu
hear the talons crack when they struck
and tore each other. The sounds made
by their wings as they buffeted one an
other were like explosions Of musketry,
while their screams and yells sounded
demoniacal. The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with a
victory for old badly, who drove the
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast.
"Oh, yes there are a great many ca
giles up in my part Of the state" said
the old agriculturist in reply to q ques-
ton. There are plenty Of high rocks
and lofty trees wherein they build
their nests. We farmers do not give
them any latitude, however. Whenever
one of these big birds is seen soaring
about the poultry yard, or, in fact, any
where about the farm, it's Johnnie, get
your gum because it not infrequently
happens that good sized chickens, young
lambs or little pigs are carried away by
them, so they're very unwelcome visit

The Value of n Vacation.

A vacation pays as much from the
standpoint of character as from any
other point Of view. Just as every
man is n rascal when he is SICK" so the
best intentioned man in the world may
be q brute when he is worn out phys
ically and working and planning or
trying to do so with n tagged. weary
brain. The brutal qualities in mans
nature come to the surface when he
has drained his vitality to the dregs.
He loses his self control ard his pas
sions get the better of him. He does
things which in his soul he condemns
and says things for which he after
ward hates himself, and all because he
lacks physical stamina. The long strain
of the year has made him so irritable
and exacting that the merest trifie up
sets him. He goes all TO pieces over
little things which he would not even
notice If he were in good bodily condi-
tion.-Success.

THERMOMETER DEGREES.
The Scale Invented by Newton and
ArnpIiLcd by Fahrenheit.

The Scale Invented by Newton and
Arsplil.cd by Fahrenheit.
Why should the freezing point be
marked j degrees and the boiling
point 2t2 degrees on the Fahrenheit
thermometer scale? Most students
know that its inventor divided the
space between these points into $50
degrees instead of the simpler 100 de-
grecs used in the Centigrade system,
but few understand how this number
came to be chosen. A writer thus ex-
plains the matter:
The thermometer was really invented
by Sir Isaac Newton He started his
scale with the heat of the human body
and used as his instrument n glass tube
filled with linsced oil. The lowest fig
ure on the scale was the freezing point
and the highest point boiling water.
The starting point of this scale. as
mentioned, was the heat of the human
body. which he called by the round
number 10. as the duodecimal system
was then in common use. He divided
the space between the freezing point
and the temperature of the body into
10 points and stated that the boiling
point of water would be about 30, as
the temperature must be nearly three
times that of the human body.
When Fahrenheit took up the subject
n few years later he used the Newton
instrument, but, finding the scale not
fine enough. divided each degree into
or.tS tho
between the freezing and boiling points
81 parts instead of u. Fahrenheit then
discovered that he could obtain low
er degree of cold than freezing, and.
taking n mixture Of ice and salt for a
starting point, he counted "a points up
to body heat BY this measurement he
obtained S for the freezing point and
SO for the boiling point His scale now
read: Zero. freezing, 8; body heat, q.
and boiling water. is. 1t will be no.
ticed that this scale is identically that
of Newton's, only starting lower and
having the numbers doubled.
1t was with this scale that Fahren-
heit worked for a long time, but final
ly, finding the temperature divisions
still too large. he divided each degree
into four parts. Multiplying the num-
bers just given by four the thermome-
ter scale now in use results.
The chance choice of Newton of the
figure IL to represent the body heat
determined the present thermometer
scale. even as the yard. foot and inch
measures originally came from meas
ures of parts Of the human body, and
as the width of railroad carriage was
determined by the track. which in
turn was determined by the width be-
tween the cart wheels necessary to
bear a load which could comfortably
be drawn by a mule.-American In

1t is not known just how long mos
quitoes can live, but their average life
is much longer than is ordinarily sup
posed. Thousands of them live through
winter. alternating or asleep in dark
places in barns or house cellars. In
sparsely settled localities, where they
cannot find such places for shelter,
they live through the winter in hollow
trees, in caves and holes under upturn-

Origin of the Hanson.

The hanson was the invention of Jo-
seph Hanson, the architect of the Bir-
mingham town hall. But the two
wheeled cab which he patented in 1884
little resembles the vehicle which now
bears his name. 1t had a square, sedan
chair shaped body hung between two
wheels nearly eight feet high. The
drivers seat was in front, as also was
the door. The fare entered the cab be
tween the wheel and shaft. The mod

being very excellent sailing vessels"
Yacht racing commenced in 1862,
when Charles H., who had some yachts
built for him by Sir Phineas PETIT,
wagered $500 that yacht of his would
beat Dutch one owned by his brother,
the Duke of York, afterward James II.
But the growth of yacht sailing was
slow, and it is not until 1920 that an
authentic record of a yacht club is
found, In which year the Cork Harbor
Water club, now known as the Royal
Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1872
similar club, the Yacht club, was
formed at Cowes by some fifty yachts
men. This club in 1920 attracted the
notice of the Duke of Clarence, after
ward William ", when its title was
altered to the Royal Yacht squadron,
Cowes. Fourteen years later William
". presented the first royal cup to this
club. But in 1851 only 500 yachts were
in existence. Since the international
yacht race Of that year the increase In
the number has been immense.
In America, the Chronicle says, "the
sport may be said to have commenced
in 1914. in which year the New York
Yacht club was formed, and the his
tory Of that club is practically the his
tory Of American Yachting"
