The admiral adjusted his sling-shot,

DISCOVERY OF PURPLE.
Credited to Very, Humble Fisher
boy by the Name of AlonSo, Who
Lived Before Solomon's Day.


Way back in the time of King Solomon
purple was the color of monarchs-
royal purple 1t was called, then, as it is
now. The Roman emperors forbade the
wearing of this color by any under the
rank of prince.
The discovery of purple was achieved
by a very humble boy, a fisherman
named Alonzo. His master, also
fisherman, left him in the coat, telling
him to watch the nets. While Alonzo
did this he also did something else, his
master one day discovered. He marked
pieces of linen with letters and designs.
A ring which he had found one day upon
the shore served as a stamp for these
designs, but what attracted the atten-
ton OF AlonZo's master was that they
were made In a color not then known
tbs color purple.
The master inquired how this color
had been obtained.
AlonEc could not explain any better
than by showing how It was done. He
dropped the ring into the Shiny matter
Of a sasll fish. The mantle Of this crea-
ture had been torn in some way and the
Shiny matter was oozing from It. This
made marks on the linen which when
dried by the sun turned into purple.
This color was adopted by the king Of
the country where Alonzo lived as the
color Of royalty, and has thus remained
TO this day.-Philadelphia Press.

which is easily supplied by a vertical
line drawn on a card tackled behind
the knot. The knot should be directly
in front Of the line and very close to
it. Now IL you put anything In the
right scale pan, that pan will go down
and the knot will move to the left
To bring II back you must put weights
in the left pan, and when you have
brought the knot back to the mark
the weights you have used are equal
to the weight Of the object in the
right pan If the balance is correct
To find out IL It is so put the thing
you are weighing into the left pan
and put weights into the right pan
II the balance is wrong you will not
get exactly the same weight as before
Perhaps the knot is not just half way
between the nails. But even if you
do get slightly different weights by
the two methods, you can obtain the
true weight by taking their average
that is, adding them together and d.
viding by two.
Strictly speaking, You ought to
multiply them together and extract the
square root of the product, but the
average is near enough for practical
purposes, when the difference is small.
This is a trick worth knowing and
applying to ordinary balances, which
sometimes have one arm longer than
the other. You can get the true weight
with a very false balance in this way.
There is a still better way Of weigh.
ing, says Good Literature, which also
applies to ordinary balances as we'll
as to this string affair. Balance the
thing you are weighing with sand or
stone or water; then take it OF and
put the weights in the same pan until
the machine balances again. AS the
weights have the same effect that the
object had they must weigh the same,
no matter how bad the apparatus is.

Report OF Count WItte on which the
Manifesto Was Based.

manifesto Was Based.
St. Petersburg, Oct. 31.-Count Wit
ties report to the emperor, who in
scribed thereon, ito be taken for
guide" Is as follows:
Your majesty has deigned to indi-
cate to me directions for a government
In consideration Of the actual state of
Russia.
1.-THE agitation of human society is
not the outcome of partial imperfec-
lions in the social and governmental
regime or of actions organized by the
extreme elements. Its roots are much
deeper. 1t took birth in the violation
of the balance between the moral
aspirations and the exterior forms of
Russian society.
Believing that Russia aspired to
laws based on civil liberty, the chief
problem of the government consists in
making effective, even before approval
by the state douma all elements Of civil
liberty in the elaboration Of normal leg
islative measures giving equality be-
fore the laws to all Russians without
distinction Of race or religion.
1.-THE government should abstain
from any interference with elections to
the douma and keep in view my sim
cere desire for the realization OF the
ukase Of December %, 1904. 1t must
maintain the prestige of the douma and.
have confidence in its labors, and in
, no way resist its decisions so long as
they are not inconsistent with Russia's
historic greatness.
1T IS necessary to respect the ideals
Of the great majority OF society, and
not the echoes of noisy groups and
factions, too often unstable.
ut is especially Important to secure
the reform OF the council Of the en-
pire on an electoral principle.
II believe that in the exercise of the
executive power the following princl-
Piles should be embodied:
Observation-Disclosures and sim
certify in the confirmation Of civil liber-
ty and in providing guarantees for its
maintenance.
''Second-A tendency in the direction
of The abolition of exclusive laws.
"Thlrd-The cooperation Of the ae-
tivity of all organizations OF govern
ment.
Fourth--Avoidanc Of repressive
measures in respect Of proceedings
which do not openly menace society or
| the state.
"Fifth-Resistanee to acts which
manifestly threaten society or the state,
such resistance being based upon Law
and moral unity.
Confidence must be placed In the po-
htieal tact OF Russian society. It il
impossible that society should desire
q condition Of anarchy which would
threattp, in addition 70 all the horrors
Of cIyil strife, the Acknowledgement Of
the eTapi1s."

The admiral and the captain knew II

excitement

Quents. They surely could not have

THE LAST OF THE AUToCRATs.
bers of the cabinet on the American
plan by the emperor as chief Of state.
The following is the text of the inn
perial manifesto.
The Imperial Manifesto.
Emperor Nicholas H.. by the grace
Of God. emperor and autocrat of all the
Russias, grand duke of Finland, ETC.,
declare 10 all our faithful subjects that
troubles and agitation in our capitals
and in numerous other places fill our
heart with excessive pain and sorrow.
1.-THE happiness Of the Russian SOW
ereign is indissolubly bound up with
the happiness Of our people, and the
sorrow Of our people Is the sorrow Of
the sovereign.
From the present disorders may
arise great national disruption. They
menace the integrity and unity of our
empire.
THE supreme duty imposed upon US
by our sovereign ONCE requires us to
efface ourseif and 90 use all the force
and reason at our command to hasten
in securing the unity and coordination
of the powers Of the central govern
ment, and to assure the success of
measures for pacifcation in all circles
= Of public health, which are essential
10 the well being of our people.
I'VE, therefore, direct our govern
ment to carry out our i1flexible will in
the following manner:
''First-To extend to the population
the immutable foundations of civic lib
erty, based on the real inviolability OF
person, freedom Of conscience, speech,
union and association.
Second--Without suspending the al
ready ordered elections to the state
douma, TO invite the participation in
the douma, SO far as the limited time be-
fore the convocatioh>sf the doumR will
permit, those classes Of the population
now completely deprived Of electoral
rights, leaving the ultimate develop
ment of the principle OF ELECTORAL right
in general to the newly established leg
islative order Of things.
"Third-To establish as an unchange-
able rule that no law shall be enforce
able without the approval of the state
douma, and that It shall be possible
for the elected of the people to exercise
real participation in the supervision
OF the legality Of the acts of the au-
thorIties appointed by us.
I'VE appeal to all faithful sons Of
Russia to remember their duty towards
the fatherland to aid in terminating
these unprecedented troubles and Il
apply their forcess. In cooperation
with us to the restoration Of calm and
peace upon our natal soil
Given at Peterhof, October 80, In the
eleventh year OF our reign.
