England's future king, Prince Ed
ward Of Wales, now II years old, pos
sesses a ehild's habit Of saying the I'M
expected thing. When visiting King
Edward, the other day, the king asked
him what he was studying, and the
little prince said! "All about Perkin
Warbeck." Asked who Warbeck was,
the prince replied: "IIe pretended he
was the son Of the king, but he wasn't:
he was the son Of respectable parents"
There is a singular coincidence
about the two English royal princesses
named Louise, They are both the
daughters of British monarchs, they
are of very fair complexion and both
married out of the blood royal. Each
also selected Scottish p~eers-the dukes
of Argyll and Fife-botn of whom are
as fair-skinned as their wives. Still
further goes the coincidence, for
neither of the royal d~uchesses has pre-
scented her husband with a male heir.

SCIENCE sIFTINes.

Prof. Reickenbach is said to have
proven that so persons in 100 can see,

The flicker sometimes noticed In
lightning proves to be due to the fact
that several flashes-sometimes five or
~six--follow n path too rapidly to be
separated by the eye. The trails shown
in photography Of very bright flashes
are caused by incandescence produced
in the air for a very brief period.

"Yes, but future blessing is sacri.

forbade thy grandfather Abraham from
taking for his son Isaac a wife of the
people about him, SO he forbids Isaac
to permit his son to marry into the

Esau felt annoyed by the storm of
protest, and angrily paced back and

so. He thought the women of the ma.

he might find at Haran. He even ent
so far in his blind unreason as to de-
clare that tho nations about them had

Extend the Road

The Burlington Free Press, in an
editorial on the electric railroads of
Vermont, speaks of the Stowe electric
road as follows
"The electric railway between
Waterbury and Stowe has not been
profitable to a noteworthy degree,
and some authorities claim that if it
were to be extended to Morrisille,
for example. SO. as to form a con-
Meeting link between the Central YER
mont and the Boston and Maine, it
might be made to pay satisfactory
rate on the investment.
We do not know much about the
financial condition Of the Stowe cleo
trio road, but we do know that it
certainly would be a great advantage
to the road as we'll as the public to
extend the same to MorrisvilIe. The
grade from Stowe to this place is un-
usually good and the road could
therefore be built much cheaper than
the average Vermont electric road.
Then the amount of business that
would be opened up in the way of
lumber, general mercantile, and pas
senger traffic would be great. There
would be a great shortening OF the
railroad distance from this section to
Montpelier and Barre, and other
points in the central part of the state.
We hope that the time is not far dis
tant when the road will be extended
up into this end of the county.
