Rornances Of I 70 ress
By Albert Payson Terhune


A 1s-yeaf-,ld italian boy--small al
most as u child, and pallid from over
study-sat dreaming In the gray shad-
ows of the Pisa Cathedral one day in
1888. And from his dreams arose
some Of tbs greatest inventions and
discoveries ever accomplished The
boy was Calico, eldest son OF an inn
poverished Florentine nobleman. He
had spent his childhood devising
clever mechanical toys out of the
scantiest materials; had dabbled in
literature and painting as he grew
up; had sought to become monk,
and had been persuaded by his IA
Their to study medicine instead
The young medical student, as he
sat In the cathedral fell to observing
the great bronze chandelier that hung
by a long rod from the roof. Instead
OF remaining motionless. the chande-
lier yibrated almost imperceptibly to
and fro. Calico wondered why. Ten
thousand other Italians had seen that
sWayfng lamp, and had taken its mo-
ton for granted. But Calico had q
way OF taking nothing for granted.
He knew nothing Of mathematics,
but In the working out of the vibrat-
ing-lamp problem, mathematics would
be necessary. So he threw over med
lcine and became mathematician
The throb of that cathedral chande-
Tier started him to pondering over
a, theory propounded
me swinging many years before

ly. that the sun stands still and that
the earth revolves about 1t. Also,
that the various stars and the moon
have similar system of rotation.
Might not this alleged motion OF the
earth account for the vibrating of
the chandelier? Calico resolved to
know more of the matter. He was not
content to take for granted the old
doctrine that the earth stood still and
the sun circled about It, But to go
further into the matter 1t was neces-
sary to study the heavens. This he
had no competent means of doing.
So he went to work devising such
means. Some years earlier a Middle
burg optician. had ground bits OF glass
in such way as to magnify objects
seen through them. The experiment
had not amounted to much. But Gal.
ileo thought he saw way of improv-
ing on 1t. He figured out that by
placing a convex lens and concave
lens In certain position toward each
other anything seen through the two
would be enlarged. This is the prin-
ciple of the modern opera-glass. He

A curious crowd gathered outside
little house in the French town Of
Saintes one day in the middle OF the
sixteenth century. In the throng a
woman was weeping and wringing her
hands, stopping now and again to
stare through the open doorway of the
dwelling. ~

walled. ITO feed that miserable fur
mace, what do you think he has done?
He has spent every penny of our say
ings and has sold the clothes OF his
back to buy fuel. We are starving,
yet he pays no heed to my protests.
He has ripped the palings from our
fence, our door from its hinges, the
boards from our floors. He has broken
UP every stick OF our furniture. And
all for what use? To feed his furnace,
that 1t may attain greater heat and
that his wretched bits OF pottery may
be glazed"
This man whom his wife and neigh
bors declared mad was Bernard Pals
sy, son Of a French glass painter. He
had followed his fathers trade COM
fortably enough In Saintes, where he
, had settled down and married. But
, one day he CHANGED upon an old earth

Be careful that you do not use too
much arsenic in the spray used on the
fruit trees. Prof. Headden believes
that arsenic sometimes accumulates
in the ground under trees that have
been oversprayed during series Of
years. until 1t reaches quantity that
menaces the life of the trees. In re-
cent bulletin he says: Hundreds of
such trees are dead or sick beyond
recovery, and all show the same
symptoms. The first sign is the ap.
pearance on the trunk of chocolate
colored spots. The bark is soon killed
and dries down. The foliage drops
early so that diseased trees are easily
picked out in the fall. and they will
be found nearly girdled with dead
bark. The second year the tree will
start, but 1t dies about midsummer
In every case the roots are found to
be dead and the bark at the base OF
the trunk is in bad condition. In vet
the trouble seems to start here. Chem.
ical tests of wood taken from roots
trunks, ETC., plainly showed the pres
ence Of arsenic"
