Fed on Monster Dumplin g

An aged citizen of North Carolina
tells the story of the greatest apple
dumping ever made. His home is in
Halifax county, where, prior to 1910,
there was voting precinct known by
the odd name of dumping Town. In
1910, when William Henry Harrison
was elected president, after most ex-
citing campaign, Dumping Town had
exactly III voters, and every man of
them cast his ballot for Harrison.
The people of the small but prosper
GUS town of Scotland Neck, in the
county, also showed their appreciation
Of the unanimous vote of Dumping
Town by a generous and whimsical
gift. Two days and night were con-
sumed in building big dumping,
which weighed ia pounds, one pound
for each vote cast at Dumping Town.
This monster of dumping was put
in sack, supported by tripod, and
lowered into an immense iron kettle.

How Ancients Kept Time

Before an audience of London child
rem scientist delivered a lecture the
other day on the methods of measur-
ing time as employed by the ancients.
The lecturer began with the Chal-
deans, who, like the Chinese, observ-
ed the movements of the moon and
stars, and believed that an eclipse
was due to the devouring of the moon
by dragon.
Then the lecturer came to the Egyp-
tians, who erected obelisks to serve
as the gnomons or pointers or sun
dials.
To the delight of the juvenile audi
ence the lecture room was darkened
and the sun Gan electric glow lamp
was manipulated at the end of a fish
ing rod to make a model obelisk cast
the shadow.
The Greeks, always artistic, placed
a buoyant figure of magician in a
long glas jar, and water dripped in,
and as the figure rose it pointed to
the hour on marked sun dial.

Was There for Business

A member of the Washington bar
who recently returned from trip to
the Ozark mountains of Arkansas re-
lates an amusing experience he had
with tall, gaunt native in one of
the most desolate passes of that
range.
1--WE were riding in a springless
wagon over the toughest road it had
ever been my misfortune to encounter
in all my travels" said the lawyer,
according to the Washington Star
land the desolation about us was
almost appalling. For more than an
hour we had not seen human being.
Suddenly member of our party
spied figure of man against the
skyline ahead of us. AS we approach
ed the man we observed that he had
basket on his arm. He greeted us
with the salutation:
Hello, you uns. Be you strang-
ers?"
We assured him that we were visit
ors and remarked about the utter
