He Was Careful Of His Voice.

Brignoi. the famous tenor, was
very susceptible to nattery. and it Is
said that once in New York when the
orchestra vigorously applauded one OF
his favorite songs he was so touched
that lie came down to the footlights
and invited them all to champagne
supper at the Everett House. The
supper cost him $500.
Brignoi was very careful of his
voice and was terribly afraid of drafts.
1t was once stated that during the
winter It always took him three-quar-
ters Of an hour TO get from his room
to the street. First he would on
leaving his room pace the hall for ten
minutes TO get acclmated. He then
descended TO the lobby, where the tenn
perature was little lower, and spent
twenty minutes there. He then ven.
tured TO the vestlbule, from which the
door opened into the street. He would
parade the vestibule for fifteen min
utes. occasionally opening the door to

customed TO n cool temperature, he

FATHER GUICHETEAU AND HIS DEMON
srRATIoN or THE FOUCAULP ENPERI-
MENT.
Of the great pyramids, near Cairo, was
originally built In an exact line with
the Polar star. 1t has been proved
that the Polar star moves at the rate
of one degree IN every two centuries.
From this It was figured out that these
pyramids were about 1920 years old.
The prlestly astronomer of New York
set to work on the problem for his own
satisfaction and by use Of his telescope
aud trigonomctrid calculations com
puted the year I'm which the construc-
ton was begun as 1924 B. c., which
would fall within 4 quarter of II cen
tury of the approximate date fixed 10y
other scientists.
The experiment to determine the ro-
tatlon of the earth on its axis was car
rled out by Father Guicheteau in the
rotunda of the Church of our Lady of
Lourdes In Brooklyn borough This
experiment, performed ln Paris by
Flammarlon, was named in honor Of
FOucault. Father Gulcheteau Is a
friend and admlrcr of. FlammariOn. In
carrying out the FOucault experiment
he placed at the end OF piano wire
ten pound weight shaped like steel
shell and attached the end of the wire
TO the highest point in the cupola Of
the church. ON the floor directly be-
meath the weight he marked out n cir
Gle divided into arcs and containing Il
line indicating the equator When sta
sionary the pendulum pointed directly
20 the center OF the circle. When II
was set in motion 1t swung slowly
across the disk, following exactly the
line Of the equator But as it contin-
ued to swing and the seconds became
minutes 1t gradually left the equa-
torial mark until at the end Of an hour
its course was at Il distance of 8 min
utes AZ seconds from the original one
across the circle. Thus was proved TO
the eye the fact Of the earth's rota-
tlon upon It's axis and deviation from
the course 1t possessed at the time the
experiment was begun. Some time
afterward similar experiment was
conducted at Columbia university.

Mysterious Green.

To those who believe in the influence
Of color the shades of green afford an
interesting study. not only because OF
the large number of green things
found in nature. but the scale of greens
Is so varied.
Green is, or was, the chosen color OF
Venus or the Scandinavian goddess
Freya and should be worn upon Fri
day, her name day.
The color has always been consider
ad mysterious In its influence. All
green creatures, such as snakes OF
birds, are weird, and people with what
are known as green hazel eyes need
to be carefully considered. and among
clairvoyants green stands for intellec'
tual power, just as they speak Of the
blue of peace, rose of love and scarlet
of anger"
