The early Egyptians divided the day
and night each into twelve hours, GUS
tom adopted by the Jews or the Greeks
probably from the Babylonians. The
day is said to have first been divided
into hours from B. c. 293, when a sun
dial was erected in the temple of Quiri-
nus at Rome. Previous to the invention
Of water clocks, B. c. 1913, the time was
called at Rome by public criers. In
early England one expedient of meas
uring time was by wax candles, three
inches burning an hour. The first per-
feet mechanical clock was not made
until about A. D. 1850. Day began at
sunrise among most of the northern ma
tons, at sunset among the Athenians
and Jews, at midnight among the Ro-
mans, as with us.

WITTY RptOrfs,

When the celebrated physician Sir
Henry Holland told Sydney Smith that
he had failed to kill either one of a
brace of pheasants that had risen with
in easy range near the latter's home,
the witty divine asked, "Why did you
not prescribe for them?"
One day Sir Henry was engaged in
a hot argument with "Bobus" Smith,
a barrister, concerning the merits of
their respective professions. "You will
admit" said Sir Henry, "that your
profession does not make angels Of
men," NO" retorted Smith, there
you have the best of it."

Bad Spelling.

One of the causes to which the prev
alence of bad spelling among the rising
generation is attributed is the fact that
the modern Roman method of pro-
nouncing Latin gives no direct indica-
ton of the pronunciation of the Eng
lish derivatives and so no cue to their
spelling, as the English sound of Latin
words did when it was used.

BETTING IN NEW YORK.
New York. Nov 25.--If Bob Ftzsim-
mons defeats George Gardner at San
Francisco tonight his friends here will be
able TO say that they made some money
on his victory. For the first time since
the mill was broached betting on the out
come was very vigorous today. Up TO
Monday II was like drawing teeth TO find
somebody with the courage to back Gard
ner. But as soon as word came that the
odds against the Irishman at San Fran
cisco had changed from TO 10 to TO 10
there WAS a concerted rush by the local
sports to get their money down on Gard
ner. Consequently the best price obtain
able last night at the uptown hotel re-
sorts was to on Bob. George Consi-
dine, Jim Curtin and Jim Wakely, who
of late have been deploring dearth Of
Gardner money, were confronted with a
lot of II today.
This unexpected move did not diminish
their confidence I'm Fitzsimmons. and
every bet I'm sight was gobbed up. Max
IIirsh another Fltzsimmons man. who
has received information daily az To the
ex champions training declared that the
stories of Bobs poor physical condition
were exaggerated and that ne Is almost
sure that Fitzsimmons II I'm better trim

This marked change was due to persist

betting ne has certainly succeeded.
Some local papers played up an alleged
bet OF $1,000 by Corbett on Gardner. ana
this also had its influence, though eN-
perts doubted It's truth. There rs no
question that Fitzsimmons is nervous and
that he is not In the best Of shape; but
those who know him look TO see him put
up a fine fight. at least for 10 rounds.
Everything depends on how he feels this

and fast and on others he IL slow and
seems much depressed. This alienation
of condition shows concluslvely that he
Is not right. Bob declares himself that he
