A SAUCY DUCHESS.
Her Audacious Fight For Gay and His
"Beeesrs' Opera"

When the "Beggars' Opera" by Cay,
was produced in 1928 it took positively
by storm The king still chung to Han
del, but the nobility, with the Duchess
OF Queensberry among them. flockeG
rapturously to the "Newgate paste,
raj" The "Beggars' Opera" had a run
of siXty-two nights, unprecedented in
those days, and as one result OF its
success Handel became bankrupt. Sud
lord chancellor to stop the new piece.
Why. is not exactly known unless it
was because the prime minister consid-
cred himself to be too faithfully rep
resented therein. However that may
have been, the theater had TO be closed,
whereupon the Duchess of Queensber-
ry took up Gays cause and vehement!y
championed It.
Very busy was she in those days
driving about in her coach asking for
guinea subscriptions for printing cop
les of the forbidden play. And so heed
less was Kitty that she carried her list
to the queens drawing room itself and
had the audacity to ask the king for
subscription. This was a little too
much, and her grace was requested to
withdraw from the court, Kitty an
nouncing, with characteristic compo-
sure, that the command was very
agreeable to her, as she had never gone
there for her own diversion. but to be-
stow civility upon the king and queen.

ECCENTRIC STAMPS.
siunders That Bring Joy to the Hearts
ct PhilateIists.

THE fascination of stamp collect
ing" said postal official, 'lies in the
rare finds which are continually made
and the curious points which some
times make stamp of the face value
Oh q Few pence worth hundreds of
pounds. For instance. the twopence
blue Mauritius stamp which the Prince
Of Wales bought at public auction for
tl,45O was unique In one respect-the
proper wording on it, Post Paid Mauri-
nus had by strange error been al
tered to Post Office Mauritius.'
Another stamp which has been
priced at several hundred pounds is
valuable for the mere misspelling of
single word. 1t is British Guiana is
sue worth just 1 cent, but it is sought
after by all collectors because the word
Patimusque' figures on II instead of
'Petimusque.'
Again. one penny Cape Of Good
Hope stamp changed hands the other
day for nearly 200 simply because in
stead of being red, as are all the others
of this issue, it's color was blue.
Some years ago in Western Australia
few stamps were printed with the fig
ure Of swan upside down upon them
When the mistake was detected the is
sue was hastily destroyed. Several
specimens had escaped and one Of
them has been sold for f4O0"-London

THE PARACHUTE.
Leonardo da vinei Was the First Ons
to Suggest X.

~ SeSSSse
Credible accounts exist Of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes,
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by precipitating himself
from the height Of tower with the
assistance OF wings attached to hia
arms and his feet. 1t is said that, hav-
ing gone along a little way. he fell and
broke his legs He attributed his acct
dent to failure 10 prSVide his appara-
tus with a tail, which would have help
ed preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that a bird.
which is heavier than the air, sustains
itself, advances in the air, ''by render
ing the fluid denser where 1t passes
than where 1t does not pass" In order
to fly il has TO fix its point of support
on the air. It's wings In the descending
stroke exert pressure from above
down. the reaction of which from be-
low up forces the center of gravity Of
its body to ascend ut each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes TO
maintain it Same sketches which have
come down TO us prove that Leonardo
occupied himself, like Oliver of Malmes-
bury, with giving man the power to fly
by the assistance Of wings suitably
fixed to the body.
We owe to Leonardo also the inven-
ton of the parachute, which he de-
scribed in the following terms: IF n
man had a pavilion each side of which
was fifteen braces wide and twelve
braces high he might cast himself from
any height whatever without fear OF
danger" 1t may be said, too, of Leo
nardo da Vinci that he was the first to
suggest the idea of the screw propeller.

THE SORROWFUL TREE.
Its Flowers Open at Night and Close
With the Dawn Of Day.

There is tree in Persia to which
the name "the sorrowful tree" is given,
perhaps because it blossoms only in
the evening. When the FIRST star APP
pears in the heavens the first bud of
the sorrowful tree opens. and as the
shades of night advance and the stars
thickly stud the sky the buds continue
gradually opening until the whole tree
looks like one immense white flower.
On the approach of dawn, when the
brilliancy of the stars gradually fades
in the light of day, the sorrowful tree
closes its flowers, and ere the sun is
fully risen not single blossom is Wis
tble. A sheet of flower dust as white
as snow covers the ground around the
foot of the tree, which seems blighted
and withered during the day, while,
however, it is actively preparing for
the next nocturnal festival. The fra
GRANGE of the blossoms Is like that of
the evening primrose.
If the tree is cut down close to the
roots a new plant shoots up and at
tains maturity in an incredibly short
time.
In the vicinity of this singular tree
there usually grows another which is
almost an exact counterpart of the sor.
rowful tree, bet less beautiful, and,
strange to say, It blooms only in the

The idea Of some sort of movement

other Greeks and by the physicians OF
the Alexandrian school as well as by
the doctors and surgeons Of the middle
ages. In fact, even the village BARRIERS

His Encounter With the Gar and His

Isnoble Reward.
One of the stories of Peter the Great
which are current at the court of St
Petersburg is of the great cars wres-
Ting match with young dragon.
Once in the imperial palace-so the
story goes-Peter was at table with
a great many princes and noblemen.
and soldiers were posted within the
hall. The car was in a joyous mood,
and, rising, called out to the company:
Listen, princes and boyars! Is there
among you one who will wrestle with
the czar?" There was no reply, and
the car repeated the challenge.
No prince or nobleman dared to wres
tie with his sovereign. But all at once
a young dragon stepped out from
the ranks of the soldiers on guard

II Will. great car" said the soldier
They closed, and presently the soldier
with his left arm threw the car and
with his right he prevented him from
falling to the ground. The sovereign
was clearly beaten. The car offered
the soldier whatever reward he should
claim, and he ignobly claimed the
privilege Of drinking free as long as
he lived in all the inns belonging TO
the crown. What became of him his
tory does not say.

The SiIkworm.

Upon attaining full growth the silk.
worm becomes restless, stops feeding
and throws out silken threads. The
silk is formed In a fluid condition and
issues from the body of the worm in a
giutlnous state, apparently In a single
thread. From this silk the worm con-
structs its cocoon, an interval of from
three to five days being required to
complete Its Imprisonment In the en-.
velope. In order that the silken strands
may not be subjected to the danger OF
breakage by the moth emerging from
the cocoon, the cocoons are steamed
TIL the inciosed insects are dead. After
this the silk may be wound off.-New
