him, that they might go to breakfast
together. Receiving no response Mr..
Bendt went in with light and was

for a government building in the
near future, urged immediate activ-
ity as to the opera house project, and
spoke of day power. gas plant, paw
ing and an inJerurban as among the
things Denison must acquire in the
near future. Mr.. Naeve's toast
vas greeted with much enthusiasm
and served to open the eyes of many
as to Denison's possibilities. If
Denison had more men like Geo.
Naeve, there would be no difficulty
in making Denison city of ten
thousand in the next five years.
We would institute no comparison
but certainly it is allowable. to say
that the toast on American Oppor-
tunity'' as given by Mr.. p. d. Nc
Mahon was one of the most eloquent
and thoughtful of the evening.
Himself native of the Gould sod
who has made the very most of Am
erican opportunity. Mr.. Mcmahon
spoke from experience and with a
thankful heart. 1t is pity that Mr..
George McHenry has such good
job. for thereby people are missing
one of the best of entertainers. 1t
was long past midnight when he took
the floor, and he was cup Against
IT, as his toast declared. He is a
very prince of story tellers, however.
and he soon had the banqueters roar
ing with glee. He had been assigned
his place at the end of the program
with the injunction to "wake EN- up''
and he accomplished his task to per-
lection.
Hon. j. P. Conner, the guest of
the evening was greeted with storm
of applause. 1t was evident not only
from his remarks but from his man
ner that he was deeply touched by
the banquet, the Astounding good will
displayed and the words of affection
and high regard which had been
showered upon him. He spoke his
earnest and sincere thanks and pledg-
ed himself anew to the cause of Deni-
sons we'll fare. He spoke of the
Federal building and if possible he
hoped to get billsthrough this ses-
sion, but that at any rate he was con.
6dent that Denison would be carec
for at an early date. Judge Conner
also spoke Of the early days and
paid a splendid tribute to his ole
friend. H. C. Laub, who was one Of
the most enthusiastic of the banquet
ers. AS a fitting recognition of thu
oldest old settler present Judge Con
ner proposed the health of q. C.
Laub and this was drunk with goot
will by all. 1t was nearly one
O'Clock when the guests departed
from what was the most successful
and brilliant gathering uur city ha
ever known. 1t was but a fitting
tribute to Judge Conner, who ha
earned and who has received the es
, TEEN and confidence and affection o
his neighbors as but few men eve
achieve. The regret that Judg,

gress is universal in Denison and tn
feeling of regret deepens with tn,
realization of how great is Denison'
loss.

THE QUADRANT.
How the Idea Of the Device Came 20
Thomas Godfrey.

Concerning Thomas Godfrey. a ia
nous American mathematician. there
Is an interesting account In the Lit
erary History OF Philadelphia"
Thomas Godfrey was glazler. He
seemed 70 be one OF the most singular
phenomena that ever appeared IN the
learned world.
One day while az work at his trade
a young girl came TO a pump and filled
a pail with water. which was left upon
the sidewalk. The suns rays were re-
fected from Godfrey's glass to the pail
OF water and then TO his eye, thus com
pleting a triangle. This Is said 10 have
suggested 10 the glaciers mind the Idea
which In 1870 became the basis for the
double rejecting sea quadrant.
Prior 20 this time English mariners
had been using Davis bow 20 ascer-
tain their latitude NJ sea. but II could
not be adjusted IN a storm. Godfrey
gave the subject careful study, taught
himself Latin IN order 10 read New
toms principal" aud endeavored TO
have the value OF his invention recog-
nlzed In England. While thus engaged
he determined 10 have the device tested
on a ship bound for the West Indies.
In Jamaica the quadrant was exhibit
ed. or presented TO an English sea
captain. Thus the Important discovery
came into the possession OF Hadiey. a
mathematical Instrument maker In
London, whose name II usually bears
in spite OF the long exertions OF infiu-
entail Americans OF the eighteenth
century TO have Godfrey's claims es-
tablished and honored.

What MIGHT Have Rsen.

Lord Rosebery In an address at Glas-
gov university some years ago gave ut
terance 20 the following interesting
speculation:
HAD the elder Pitt when he became
prime minister not left the house OF
commons he could doubtless have in
duced George III. 20 listen 20 reason
introduced American representation
into parliament and preserved the thir-
teen colonies TO England. The new
blood OF America would have burst the
old vessels of the constitution and pro-
vided self adjusting system of repre-
sentation. There would have been no
war OF separation. no war OF 1912, and
finally, when the Americans became q
majority, the empire would perhaps
have moved solemnly across the At
lantic and Britain become historic
shrine. the European outpost OF the
empire"
