4 Soft Answer.

Here is story about Sir Patrick
Talbot, sergeant at arms in the house
Of lords. He had been private secre-
tary to the great Lord Derby when
prime minister and afterward married
one Of his daughters. One day when
a large party was present at KnoWl-
sey Lord Derby burst out at table with
the remark, 'tIt's a curious thing one
never knows what a lot Of fools there
are in England until one becomes
prime minister Thereupon Talbot, at
the other end of the table, said, Eyes,
and one never knows what a fool a
prime minister may be until one be-
comes his private secretary" Lord
Derby's reply was, THANK you, Pat
Dundee Advertiser.

Genesis Of the Lightning Rod.

Genesis Of the Lightning Rod.
The first lightning rod was not con-
structed by Franklin nor set up in
America, but by monk at Seutten-
berg, Bohemia, named Prohop Dill
wisch. His apparatus wss made and
put together during the spring and
summer Of the year 1854 and was first
set up in the garden Of the cure OF
Prenditz (Moravia} on June Is Of the
year above named. The rod attained
as much distinction as that later made
BY Franklin and was the cause Of the
inventor being presented with much
money and large estates. His enemies
claimed that the rod was the cause Of
the great drought Of 1851, 175S and
1859, and upon the matter being report
ed to Vienna it was ordered to be taken
down.

The Lie Was In Him.

Daniel O'Conneu once unraveled q
queer plot in a will case. Witness aft
er witness swore that they saw the
document duly executed. At last con-
stantly reiterated expression caught
the lawyers attention, The life was
in him." over and over repeated. "By
the virtue Of your oath, was he alive"
be asked one witness. "By the virtue
Of my oath, the life was in him." he
was answered. Then O'Connell turned
to the man and very slowly and very
solemnly said, "Now I call upon you.
in the presence Of your Maker, who
will some day pass sentence upon you
for this evidence, solemnly ask you
and you answer at your peril-was not
there q live fly In the dead mans
mouth when his hand was placed upon
the wills" Cornered and pale with
fear, the witness confessed that this
had actually happened:

Newton'z Telescope.

Newton'z Telescope.
Newton fashioned q concave mirror
from a mixture Of copper and tin,
which gives surface with almost the
Iuster Of silver. An image Of the star
was produced in the focus Of this mir
ror, and then this image when exam
ined by a magnifying eyepiece permits
the astronomer to study the star at
what is equivalent to greatly reduced
distance. Such is the principle Of the
famous erecting telescope which bears
the name Of Newton. The little reflect
OF which he constructed is still pre-
served as one of the treasures Of the
Royal society. The telescope tube had
the very modest dimensions Of an inch
in diameter. 1t was, however, the pre-
cursor Of whole series Of magnificent
instruments, each outstripping the 9TH
er In magnitude.
