THE NORMAN "OYEZ."
A Legacy Of William the conqueror to
the Courts.

the Courts.
Everybody who has ever been In a
United States courtroom knows that
when the judge walks out of his cham
bers and ascends the bench the court
crier drones out:
"Oyez, oyez, oyez, the honorable court
of the (whatever district 1t may be- is
now in session.
Not many persons, however, realize
that the crler says "oyez, oyez, oyez,"
instead of "harken, harken, harken,"
because of chance visit that William
the Conqueror made to an English
court almost 900 years ago.
william had overrun England, seized
the government and placed himself at
its head. Happening to enter court
room, he heard the crier call the as
semblage to order in English. William
rebuked him and on the spot decreed
that the business Of all English courts
should be transacted in Norman
French, his native tongue. Afterward
the courts went back to English, but to
this day "oyez, oyez, oyez," clings to
court customs wherever the English
language is spoken as reminder of
the great Norman who whipped King
Harold in the battle of Hastings

THE PRISON Bird.
Tyrannicai and Jealous Feathered
Beauty of Africa.


The popularity of the prison bird a
feathered beauty of Africa, is that he
is the most tyrannlcal and jealous
Of husbands, imprlsoning his mate
throughout her nesting time. Living
stone watched the birds habits while
in Monpour. and In his subsequent OBJ
servations referred to the nest as a
prison and the female bird as slave.
The nest is built In the hollow of a
tree through an opening in the bark.
AS soon as 1t is completed the mother
bird enters carefully and fearfully and
settles down in 1t. Then papa walls up
the opening, leaving only just space
enough for air and food to pass
through. He keeps faithful guard and
brings food at regular intervals with
out fail The female thrlves under her
enforced retirement. But If the prison
bird is killed or in any other way pre-
vented from fulfilling his duties the
mother and her little ones must die of
starvation, for she cannot free herself
from bondage.
Normally the Imprisonment lasts un
til the chicks are old enough to fly
Then the male bird destroys the bar
rier with his beal and liberates his
family. "It is charming" writes Liv'
ingstone, "to see the joy with which
the little prisoners greet the light and
the unknown world"

Papua Island.

Papua island was so named by the
Malays, and the word means "frizzled,"
in reference to the hair Of the inhabit-
ants. 1t is generally supposed that
Papua or New Guinea was originally
part of the mainland Of Australia. 1t
was discovered by the Portuguese in
1926, though 1t was probably sighted
by A. Dabreu during his voyage fifteen
years earlier. The Australian govern
ment, realizing the danger that would
arise If an enemy seized land so near
their coasts, frequently urged England
to annex the eastern portion Of the
island, and after two or three unau-
thorized annexations British protec-
torate was established there in 1884.

Leonardo da vinel Was the First One
Hs to SUGGEST II.

10 suggest It.
Credible accounts exist of an English
Benedictine monk, Oliver of Malmes.
bury, in the eleventh century having
tried to fly by preclpltating himself
from the height of tower with the
assistance Of wings attached to his
arms and his feet. 1t is said that, hav-
ing gone along little way, he fell and
broke his legs. He attributed his acci-
dent to failure to provide his appara-
tus with a tail, which would have help
cd preserve his equilibrium and made
his descent gentler one.
In the sixteenth century Leonardo da
Vinci first demonstrated that 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 1t 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 at each instant to
the height at which the bird wishes to
maintain 1t. Some 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-
tion 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 blmself 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.

"what is the matter?"

Her lips closed even tighter, but she

A sAUcY DUCHESS.
Her Audacious Fight For Gay and His
"Besgars' Opera"


"Bessars' Opera"
When the "Beggars' OPERA" by Gay,
was produced in 172S 1t took positively
by storm. The king still clung to Han
del, but the nobility, with the Duchess
of Queensberry among them, flocked
rapturously to the "Newgate pasto'
ral." 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
denly there came an order from the
lord chancellor to stop the new piece.
Why, is not exactly known unless 1t
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 vehemently
championed 1t.
Very busy was she in those days,
driving about in her coach asking for
guinea subscriptions for printing cop
ies 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 a
subscription. This was 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.
