Last Friday morning about fifteen
minutes before the miners were to 60
down to work in the Williams mine in
Lake gulch, a cave.in occurred and filed
the shaft. A fortunate incident occurr.
ed-that is, the falling rock and timbers
caught the bell line and rang the bell
twice, and as nobody was in the mine at
tho time, the men on top kew that
something unusual had happened and
they did not go down. The Williams is

Quently, then cool and decant the clear
liquid. Dilute six and half ounces
of this liquor with as much water;

ounces Of fine gelatine for three hours
after beating to effect solution. Final

Arc-Liuht Distributor,

The operation of the arc light has
been lately improved by the use OF
what is called a distributor, which
changes the appearance Of the lamp
entirely. The use of prisms is now
largely resorted to as means of di.
recting light rays to dark corners and
places remote from windows and other
sources of illumination. Prisms are
made use of in the arc light distributor
for the purpose of concentrating the
light in certain directions where most
desired without completely shutting
them off from the other quarters.
The arc light distributor is especial
ly designed for street illumination and
particularly for the intersections of
streets. It consists of four panels Of
plain glass and four prisms, and it will

remarkable results are obtained in the

Gated along the seacoast. In Europe,
particularly in France, Holland and
Germany, there are along the sea-
coasts numerous splendidly equipped
sanatoria for that purpose. In the

Electricity in the Household,


OF electric cooking apparatus there
are now in use innumerable devices,
such as portable stoves, saucepans,
tea kettles, blazers, boilers, broilers,
coffee pots, electric ovens, griddle-
cake cookers, waffle irons and water
urns. And outside the list of kitchen
utensils, but also useful in the house
hold, are such devices as ship-food
warmers, immersion coil heaters
which may be inserted in any kind
of a vessel and used for heating H.
guilds.
Electric heating pads for the appli-
cation Of heat to the human body are
great improvement over the hot
water bottle. In the "electrotherm"
the heating units are covered with
soft lambs wool and as high tenn
perature as 100 degrees Fahrenheit
may be maintained.
Electric curling irons for the lady
traveller are dainty toilet accessory.
More than fifty thousand Of the ap-
pliances are now in use. They draw
their energy from an incandescent
lamp.
Cigar lighters, which use the cur
rent only while the cigar is being lit,
Is another unique adaptation of the
electric unit. Pressing the button, the
current strikes a little arc between

A Case Of Pronouns,

Tommy Mulligan of the Seventh
grade was absent from the classroom
for one entire day. It would appear
that he had played truant, for un-
known to Tommy his teacher had
spied him trudging homeward with
pockets bullying suspiciously when
she, too, was homeward bound that
afternoon.
But Tommy brought a note of ex-
cuse the following morning, which of
course would prove that he had been
detained at home legitimately. The
writing was hardly that of feminine
hand, and the note appeared to have
been written laboriously and with
much plotting; furthermore, the pen
manship seemed strangely familiar to
his teacher. The note read as fol-
lows:

Especial Correspondence

forms the entrance to the inclosure'
The hill upon which this grand
monument stands is named Alhamora,(
and, citadellike, it dominates the oio
city of the Moorish kings. Inc en-
trance is gained by long and rather
steep ascent through magnificent
grove of elm trees, in which nlghtln'-
gales have made their homes. Arriv'
ing at the summit, there is sharp
turn to the left, and the visitor stands
before the Tower of Justice. Two
horseshoe-like arches are sprung over
the ancient gateway, the outer arch
bearing on it's keystone large hand.
On the inner arch is engraved Key
and the Moorish legend runs that the
Alhambra wouls lever be taken by an
enemy until the hand should reach
through the arch and grasp the key,
which only shows that, in order to
work out correctly, legends should be
written after and not before events,
for the Albambra was taken, and the
craven hand and key occupy the same
position they did 600 years ago.
Between the gates Of the tower are
long stone seats, where the Moslems
once administered justice according
to the patriarchal custom Of the Jews.
Continuing along winding walk, one
reaches an open space about 200 feet
square, the "Plazo de los Algibes, "a

Granada's glory, the palace of the
Alhambra, after weathering the wars
and earthquakes of nearly seven hun
dred years, is, according to late re-
ports from Spain, almost ready to sue
cumb to the relentless tooth of time
and become ruin. Great cracks, II
is stated, have appeared in the walls
of the Moorish palace, and otherwise
the structure is in a condition of re-
grettable dilapidation.
It is only about fifteen years ago
that part Of the court of the Alberca,
or the fishponds, of the ancient palace
was seriously damaged by fire, which,
fortunately, was prevented from re-
ducing the noble building to ashes.
Now, 1t seems, the imminent danger of
the palace at that time did not teach
the Spaniards lesson. Proud as they
are of this masterpiece of Moorish
art, it has been permitted to fall into
decay by inattention.
Last Stronghold Of Islam.
Granada was the last stronghold
of Islamism in western Europe, and,
singularly enough, the year that Boab-
dill surrendered the fortress Alhambra
to Ferdinand and Isabella, those mon
archs fitted out an expedition at the
entreaty Of the Genoese navigator
Columbus which was to add an en-
pire to their domains.
No one can speak or write about
the wonderful palace of the Alhambra
without thinking of Washington Irv.
ing. 1t was Irving who peopled the
mighty palace and fortress with a host
of legends, legends which, no doubt,
never existed before his residence in
the old place, and which are now part
of the history of the neighborhood, for
they are all firmly believed in by the
natives.
Irving visited the Alhambra in 1929,
and found it "a Moslem pile in the
midst Of a Christian land; an Oriental
palace amidst Gothic edifices of the
west; an elegant memento of brave,

ernor, was born in London August 10,
1548, but, although not the oldest son,
later came into possession of the
manor OF Groton. He was something
OF poet. His son, John Winthrop,
who came to America in 1880 as Gov
ernor of Massachusetts, and who was
the father of Deane, was born at Ed
wartson, near the family seat at Gro
ton, Jan. IL, 1887. He was very pre-
cocious and was made justice of the
peace when IS years old, and was
married when only little over II.
This wife bore him six children, the
eldest of whom became the governor of
Connecticut.
He married second time, and this
wife died in little over a year. In
the year 1913 John Winthrop was
once more established in domestic
life, his third wife being Margaret
Iyndall, daughter of Sir John Tynrall.
John Winthrop lived along in this
quiet country town, enjoying the life
OF a well-to-do and respected squire
and devoting his energies to the rear
ing of his children. His letters to his
wife and sons show him to have been
diligent, conscientious worker, de-
voted to his family. And then came
into his life something which was to-
change it's whole course and that of
his offspring; the New England enter
prise. He was we'll along in years
when he became interested in the Mas
sachusetts company, and when he de-
termined to pluck up his stakes in his
own land with view of planting
them again in a remote wilderness he
was strongly advised against the step
by his old friends. But he made up
his mind to it after long and careful
study of the question, believing it to
be his duty to do SO.
His Last Visit to Groton.
Winthrop returned to Groton for
the last time in February, 1920. He
went to London and finally embarked
for America on the 22d of March. He
founded another home here, and his
children still others after him. Deane
Winthrop settled in old Chelsea, and
the house, 200 years later, is still
standing. 1
