An electrical chronometer, which
gives the time of an automobile race

been invented in Paris. An instrument
is placed at the starting point and an
other at the finish, the two being con-
nected by a charged wire. When the

There had been no such excitement
in the village since the arrival of the
new music teacher, Julie North. To
believe that Dickie Armstrong could
really hypnotic people seemed
large draft on ones credulity. Dickie
had lived in Wakely the twenty-four
years of his existence, had gone
through the grammar school, the most
mischievous boy in it, had been off
to college and come home to practice
law, without any one suspecting he
possessed mysterious powers.
Since the fact had become generally
known, the postmaster referred to va
rious letters and pamphlets that had
been coming for thes last three
months, and gave it as his opinion
that Dicl1ie Armstrong had taken a
course in hynotism by mail. =.
In the meantime the four months
in Wakely had been full of novel
pleasure to Julie North. Coming
from a busy northern city there seem
ed something fascinating in the lazy.
happy lives of these Southerners. Her
landlady, one of the before-the-War
aristocracy, treated her like a guest.
The landlady's three bachelor broth
ers seemed to think their mission in
life was to see that the new teacher
should not have a chance to get lonely.
These four, following as near a.
possible, the old-fashioned, luxurious
style of the before-the-war planter,
had rented their many inherited acres
of cotton and rice lands, and consid-
cred they had labored as much as
was good for a man when they made
the rounds every falf to collect the
rent.
The three brothers were known
through the section as Mr.. Jack, Mr..
Courteney and Mr.. Pat and no one
ever took the trouble to add their last
name unless it we're in conversation
with some one born outside the bound
aries of South Carolina Then the
Darragh brothers were referred to in
fora and fauna of the state-as facts
generally known.
The usual crowd of young people
had gathered at the Darragh place

"Dickie, do give us an exhibition
now d." pleaded pretty little Susan
Manning from the corner of the old
fashioned davenport where she was
lounging in oriental ease.
Julie North looked her skepticism,
but seconded the request.
Dickie trumped up as many ex-
cllses as a pianist who has been in
vited to play.
REALLY, I have never tried it on
any one except the little negro boys
I toled into my Office. l don't know,
even, whether it would take the same
effect upon you palefaces," he begged
as a reserve card.

barbarous remedy which has also
been suggested is to mix freshly made
plaster of Paris with dry food such
as flour, oatmeal or bread, and put
this where these animals can get

food, and the animals drink eagerly

This question is quite too indefinite

This question is quite too indefinite
to be answered satisfactorily. A lit.
eral answer would be that a foot of
fall would be sufficient to bring
water this distance. but the amount
of water brought would not be enough
to supply a village. If the CORE
