CLEARS HALLS NAME
A sensation was sprung in the Holt
Christian case before Judge Gear yes
terday morning when witness Mamie
Christian told of revelations made to
her by Eliza Holt, (Mrs. Albert Chris
tian) which tended to prove that ]. w.
Hall, formerly a piano tuner in the
employ of Bergstrom's music store had
not been guilty of criminal assault as
charged. Mamie Christian stated that
the Holt girl had told her that George
KentwelI. brother-in-law of the plain
tiff in the present action, was the gull
ty man.
1t was two years ago when sensa-
tional charges We're preferred against

Eliza Holt. a child was born about
that time and Hall faced a jury, which
disagreed and he left the courtroom
a free man, but a ruined one in this
community. He eventually left the is
lands.
Judge Gear at once questioned the
witness.
You say. that Eliza Holt told you
that Hall Mas not responsible for her
condition.
Yes" answered Mamie Christian

Judge.

Clock Centuries Old.

A clock which, it is believed, was
used in the days of Columbus, has
lately come into the possession of
Emil Kuehnel of Manchester N. H.
When it was discovered recently in
the garnet of house it was supposed
to be of little value. The face is of
wood and the figures representing
the hours of the day were cut into
the wood by a jackknife or some such
instrument. The ancient timepiece
was given to Chas- Wolf. who, in turn,
presented it to Mr.. Kuehnel, who had
it cleaned up. On the upper part of
the wooden face of the clock a profile
of Columbus has been carved in the
wood, while on the lower part ammo,
1892" is neatly carved. Two bottles
are used as weights. On either side
of the clock the queer weights are
attached to a cord, which runs over a
little wooden cog wheel in the clock.
One bottle is heavier than the other.
and as the weight carries the other
bottle up, the cog wheel over which
the cord runs moves two other cog
wheels, the hour hand of the clock be-
ing attached to one of them.

Everybody is Tired - Spring
Weather Does Livery One
Should Be Cautious.

Depression of the nervous system at
the approach of spring is the cause. ,
General lassitude, dull, heavy. sensa-
tons, continual tired feeling, with ir-
regular appetite, and sometimes loss
of sleep. Peruna meets every indica-
ton and proves itself to be perfectly
adapted to all their varied peculiari-
ties. Peruna invigorates the system,
rejuvenates the feelings, restores the
normal appetite and produces regular
sleep
That tired feeling which is the nat
ural result of the depressing effect of
warm weather Immediately after the
invigorating cold of winter, quietly
disappears when Peruna is taken.
Thousands are daily testifying to it's
priceless benefit.
Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1909 West 18th
street, DeS MoineS, Ia, writes: Il am
| happy to give my endorsement for
your valuable medicine, Peruna, as
consider it valuable medicine to take
when the system is run down from
overwork. About two years ago felt
that 1 must take a long rest as 1 had
| been unable to work for over month
and could not regain my strength. I
could not sleep at night and was in
a very nervous, high strung, condition.
1 decided to try what Peruna would do
to build up my strength, and am
pleased to say that began to improve
very shortly, and in less than two
months l was able to take up my
work, and felt better than 1 have for
years. 1 take it now twice a year and
| find that it keeps me in perfect
health Mrs. Kassatt was for over
ten years the manager of plant fur

Postal charaes in 1920.

On the back of an old-fashioned
clock recently taken to a Rockland,
Me, jeweler for repairs was pasted
the U. S. rates in force in 1920. The
postal rates for a single letter carried
SO miles were cents; not exceeding
80 miles, 10 cents; over 40 miles 25
cents. Double and triple letters cost
in ratio to the above. If, for instance,
a resident of Rockland wished to send
a trinle letter to Philadelphia it cost
rs cents in the year 1922, whereas the
same amount of manuscript could now
be sent for cents. 1t cost 1 cent
to send a newspaper, if not more than
100 miles.

oriqin of Land Surveying.

The art of land surveying owes its
origin to the fact that the Egyptians
were unable to keep permanent monu-
ments on land which was overlooked
every year by the Nile. Under such
circumstances it became necessary to
have some means of re-identifying the
various pieces of land. The instru-
ments and mathematical methods of
astronomy, with suitable modifica-
tions, we're used by the Egyptians for
land surveying.

ARE OF IDENTICAL ORIGIN.
Whale and Lion Said to Have Sprung
from One and the Same
Source.

As everyone knows, or ought to
know, the whale is not a fish. but
mammal, and biologists have long ron-
dered about its family tree. says a
scientific paper. In Eocene times the
ancestors of mammals were beginning
to take shape somewhat like those of
to-day and to lose the grotesquesness
inherited from their reptilian progen-
itors. To be sure, animals were very
different from those of today. Horses
were no larger than dogs and had
five toes, while cattlelike tinoceras.

these peculiar plant feeders there
dwelt some very primitive flesh eat

name of creadonta.
The scene shifts to modern times
Prof. Fraas. of Stuttgart, Germany. is

He is getting out huge jaw bones that

are those of whales and the rocks near
Cairo were, in Eocene times. the sea
shore. The professor has studied his
whale jaws and compared their teeth
with other fossil teeth. Now. he tells
US in a recent Abhandlungen that
these teeth of ancient whales are like
those Of the ancient carniverous
creodonts. From this he argues that
in Eocene or earlier times some prlm-
tive flesh eater took to an aquatic
life. From these old times to the pres

Bv Wire and Air.

An accidental experiment IN the veloc-
ity Of sound is recounted by q CORE
spondent. He went to his telephone,
and just as he put the receiver to hia
ear he heard the click Of another tale
phone. Another receiver had been re-
moved and the line was open. Then he
heard through the telephone the shrek
of a locomotive whistle. and few sec
onds later the sound came through the
open window in the usual way. Looking
up. be saw a locomotive half 3 mile
away, passing the house Of a friend.
The mystery was solved. The telephone
that was open was that at the distant
house, and the SOUND of the whistle had
come through its transformation into an
electric current quicker than it had trav-
eled through the air.-Youth's Compan-
