Alb. Walker had the misfortune
to break his leg seriously at Bee
town Saturday evening. He was
there as driver with Under Sheriff
Dyer and while turning the buggy
around in the hotel yard, stepped
upon a round piece of wood, which
rolled and threw him. He fell
upon one of his limbs and broke
the member in two places. The
unfortunate man was carried into
the hotel where Dr. Blackburn
attended him. He will be confined
to his room for some time
State Treas. Kempf assisted by
Chief Clerk Castle of the land
Office disposed of the state lands
offered for sale in Grant, Rich
land and Crawford counties at the
Prairie du Chen courthouse last
Thursday. Only a few parcels OF
the lots advertised were sold and
they went at the appraised value.
In only one instance in their tour
of the state have these officials been
paid any extraordinary price for
advertised lands. That was at the
Dane county sale when a lot APP
praised at $50 was sold for 1925.
The following from the Esther
vile, Ia Republican concerning
an oldIBloomingto nboy is of interest
to his many old friends in Grant
county, 1.-The genial Cecil. Wood
house, mine host of Hotel Orleans,
has come to the conclusion that the
water cure is not what it is cracked
up to be, especially under certain
conditions. Last Sunday, in COM
pany with Jim Pike, that loyal
good fellow who sells coal for Billy
Haskell, the coal king of Cedar
Rapids, he started up the river for
walk. The air was bracing, the
walking was good and it was not
long until they found themselves
far up the river on the west side.
Tt was then that Woodhouse sug-
gested that they cross over to Ket-
tleson Springs, get drink Of water
from it, and return to the city on
the east side. The suggestion was
Immediately acted upon and they
started across the river. Pike was
ahead and got across all right. But
Just as Woodhouse was nearing the
| east bank, the ice suddenly gave
way beneath him and down he went
into the chilling water clear to his
neck. What might have happened
! is needless to speculate upon here.
For Woody grasped the branches
of an overhanging tree and pulled
himself safely out. 1t is needless
to remark they did not stop for a
drink at the springs, and they do
say that the distance between the
springs and Hotel Orleans was never
before SO quickly covered as George
and Jim did it. People along the
road stopped and gazed at them in
open-mOuthed wonder, but they
stopped not, nor tarried. For the
water was gushing out OF Wood
houses shoes at every step and the
water was dripping from his cloth
ing in stream. The distance was
covered in just eighteen minutes,
and now they both are considering
the ACCESSIBILITY of entering some OF
the long distance walking events
during the coming year"

Wave-operated Clocks at Paris.

NJ. Bigourdan has been making experi-
ments in Paris on a system of wave-oper-
ated clocks, and proves that such sys-
tenn can be practically operated and would
be of considerable value in a large civ
Paris has already a system in which If
teen electric clocks in different parts of
the city are connected with the observatory
But the system is costly on account of
laying the wires, and its use is limited
The wave method is cheaper and more
practical. A main clock which operates
an electric contact each second works
relay which sends current into the pri-
mary of an induction coil provided with
an oscillator. The secondary thus gives
osciliatory discharge for very :hort
time, which is regular for each second
By using mast, the signals can be sent
to the receiving clocks. Two kinds of re-
cevers are used. The simplest is radio
telephone of the Popoff-Ducretet pattern
in which beat is heard each second. The
second is the receiver of an ordinary wire
less telegraph receiver. Better signals are
formed by using a chronograph band and
pen to replace the ordinary Morse band
With this apparatus. which unrolls one
centimeter of band per second the time

perments were made at IL miles distance,

Growth of Humor in Ireland.
From the National Review.

From the National Review. % f.te
So far from declining. humor has grown
and increased in Ireland. Indeed, If We go
back further still to the early literature TO
which so much attention is directed just
now. 1 think we shall find that there was
no humor at all in Ireland in the days or
which 1t treats. So far at least, as have
made acquaintance withit, 4 can find none.
but my knowledge is very slight, and II
am mistaken | hope somebody who knows
better will correct me. At all events. the
most curiously un-Irish element to me In
this Gaelic revival is the lack of humor In
the whole movement: though perhaps the
portentous solemnity with which its pio-
neers treat their own merits, and discuss
their own talents, the utter and absolute
seriousness wl'h which they take them
selves and each other. reveals a depth OF
unconscious humor which does some credit
to their nationality. Anyhow, II we are
not as humorous In Ireland today as our
great-grandfathers were we are at least
more humorous than the folk who people tne
Ireland with which Mr.. Yates and Dr.
Douglas Hyde have made US acquainted
For myself. / can only say that In the
Gaelic ireland of those far past days have
never met with SO much as the ghost or
smile.
