Deaths EunhemisIns.

I cannot tell when the custom arose.
but / know that it was customary in
New England less than a century ago
to announce a suicide in the list of
deaths by euphemism-as, in this city,
LIST inst, A. B. suddenly" 1t was so
common that on seeing such a notice
any one would understand at once that
the deceased had taken his own life
Those were the days when newspapers
understood and respected a certain de-
gree Of reserve in regard to personal
feeling, whether of joy or sorrow. In
dividuals had some privacy.
Another euphemism in regard to
death is the phrase, IF anything
should happen" Persons speak of
making their will or making any def
mite arrangement concerning their pos
sessions, 'In case anything should hap
pen to them" The phrase is almost
invariably used where death is hourly
expected, certain things are to be done
or certain persons called, ''if anything
should happen" meaning that one
thing is sure to happen.-Journal of
American Folk Lore.

Fly Wheel Insurance.

Fly wheel insurance is almost pure
mathematics. When a wheel is re-
volved at high enough speed the CEN
trifugal force exceeds the centripetal
and the wheel flies apart. Solid cast
iron explodes when the speed at the
rim is roughly three miles minute. A
thick rim explodes just as easily as
thin one of the same material. Wood
explodes at a greater speed, jointed
iron at less. The underwater allows
a rim speed of mile minute, one
third the explosion rate, as safe limit
for solid iron wheels. This permits
two foot pulley wheel sixteen revolu-
tons a second, while it keeps a sixteen
foot fly wheel down to two. A jointed
wheel is allowed still less. The under
writer has only to name the number of
revolutions he authorizes and to pro-
portion his premium to the size Of the
wheel The larger the wheel, of course,
the more destructive it's explosion

Heinecken, the German Prodigy.


Christian Henry Heinecken, the most
wonderful of all the worlds precocious
prodigies, was born at Lubbock, Ger
many, in the year 1921. When but nine
and half months of age this human
wonder could pronounce every word
contained in the German language, and
before he had rounded out his first year
of earthly existence he knew all the
leading events of the worlds history
At the age of fourteen months he could
give chapter and verse of any quoted
passage of the Scriptures and knew
the history Of every book in both the
Old and New TestamentS. At the age
of two and half years he could an
swer every question in the biographies
and histories then in use and could con-
verse with visitors in either German,
French, Dutch, Latin or Greek. His
fourth year was devoted to the study
of religion and ancient history. He had
finished the studies mentioned and had
started on a course in oriental religion
when he suddenly died before complet-
ing his fourth year.
