EARLY GENIUS.
Men Who Were Young In Years, but
Old In Hours.

men W. no w ere IOuhB IN CaES, Out
Old In Hours.
Davy made his epochal experiment
OF melting Ice by friction when but
twenty. Young was no older when he
made his first communication to the
Royal society and was In his twenty.
seventh year when he first actively
espoused the undulatory theory. Fres-i
mel was twepty-six when he. made his
first important discoveries in the same
field, and Arago, who at once became
bis champion, was then but two years
his senior.
Forbes was under thirty when he dis
covered the polarization Of heat, which
pointed the way to Mohr, then thir-
ty-one, to the mechanical equivalent
Joule was twenty-five in. 1910, when
his great work was begun, and Mayer,
whose discoveries date from the same
year, was then twenty-six, which was
also the age Of Helmholtz when he
published hds independent discovery
of the same law. William Thomson
was a youth just past his majority
when he came to the aid Of Joule be-
fore the British society and but seven
years older when he formulated his
own doctrine of dissipation Of energy.
And Clausips and Rankine, who are
usually mentioned with Thomson as
the great developers Of themo-dy-
namfcs, were both far advanced with
their novel studies before thSy were
thirty. We may well agree with the
father Of inductive science that "the
man, who is young In years may be
old In hours.

PASSPORTS IN FRANCE:

The Kind That Were Issued In the
Time of Louis XVI.
The mysterious cards Of the Count
de Vergennes each contained q. brief
history in cipher of those to whom they
were given. De Vergennes was Louis
XVI's minister Of foreign affairs, and
when strangers Of q suspicious charac-
ter were about to enter France he is
sued to them these strange cards,
which acted as passports, and were
also Intended to give information con-
corning the bearer without his knowl-
edge.
In the first place, It's color indicated
the nationality Of the man who car
Red it. The persons age, approx
mately, was told by the shape Of the
card. A fillet around the border of the
card told whether he was bachelor,
married or a widower. Dots gave In
formation as to- his position and for
tune, and the expression of his face
was shown by decorative flower. ,
The strangers religion was told by
the punctuation after his name. If he
was a Catholic it, was a period, If q
Jew a dash, If he was Lutheran q
semicolon and no stop at all indicated
him a nonbeliever.
So a mans morals, character and
appearance were pointed out by the
pattern Of his passport, and the author
tiles could tell at a glance whether be
was q gamester or q preacher, q ply
s. ian or a lawyer, and whether be

LeeEND OF THE TOPAZ.
why the Jewel Is Called the Stone
of Gratitude.

of Gratitude.
The topaz is called the stone Of graft
tude, and the old Roman books record
the following legend, from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside 1t on certain
days, hearing and putting to rights the
grievances Of any Of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence Of Caesar was obtained. One day
a great snake crept up to the gate and
struck the brazen gong with her coils,
and Theodosius gave orders that no one
should modest the creature and babe
her tell him Of her wish.
The snake bent her crest lowly in
homage and straightway told the fol-
lowing tale:
Her nest was at the base Of the gate
way tower, and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast, covered with sharp needles, had
invaded her home, killed the nestlings
and now held possession Of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine to be slain and the mother to be
restored to her desolate nest Night
fell, and the sleeping world had for
gotten the. emperor's kindly deed, but
with the early dawn a great serpent
glided into the palace, up the steps and
into the royal chamber and laid upon
each of the emperor's closed eyelids @
cleaning topaz a,s .-
When the Emperor Theodosius awoke
he was no longer blind, for the mother
snake had paid her debt Of gratitude.
