How Earadax Refused a Pension


Lord Melbourne once announced to
Faraday that 1t was his pleasing duty
to offer him pension, but. he added,
81 suppose all this science IS humbug."
Faraday at once replied, IF that is
your opinion, my lord, decline the
pension" and retired. Melbourne, on
meeting some Of his colleagues, said:
81 have had strange thing happen.
A man has declined a pension" But
these gentlemen knew Faraday's posi-
ton and reputation better than the
premier and urged him to rectify the
blunder. Faraday was again inter-
viewed. but Melbourne was obliged to
retract and apologize before the pen
sion was accepted.

lowing means of proposing to the Mar

would choose as her partner for the
first dance the man she intended to
honor. She selected the marquis, who
subsequently became her husband.
But perhaps the most interesting Of
all ways chosen was that of the Ouch
ess of Fife. She took the earl, as he
then was, to drawer and showed him
its contents. There he saw number
of trifes he had given her at different
times, including sprigs of several kinds
of flowers, now dead, he had picked

To MuItipIv by Division.

Everybody knows that learning the
tens in the multiplication table Is as
easy as pie" and that the tiyes are
not much harder; but, slight as Is the
mental effort required in multiplying
any number by five, 1T may be lessened
still more by dlscarding the multiplier
entirely and substituting a divisor in
stead. This may sound paradOxical,
but by experimenting you will find
that dividing by two will bring the
same result as multiplying by hVe'
provided you add cipher to the quo
tient if the dividend be an even num-
Der or five If it be odd. For instance
If you multiply 2,734 by FIVE the prod
uct is 1860. What is still easier, di-
vide 2,734 by two, which Is done al
most instantaneously; then tack on
your 0 and you have 1860.

Rear End Freight Collision.

As a result of rear-end collision
Of two freight trains, which occurred
Friday afternoon, in what is known
as the Section 8 cut" about one
and one-half miles north of the Lud-
low station on the Bellows Falls
branch of the Rutland railroad, the
train service on that branch was
severely crippled until about !
o'clock in the morning, three north
bound trains being held at Ludlow,
while one east-bound train was de-
layed several hours at the Summit
A local freight crashed into the
rear of the through freight in the
cut, derailing the engine of the local
train, the caboose and three freight
cars of the through train, and tear
ing up about POO feet of track.
The caboose was literally split in
two by the force of the impact
although the forward train was in
motion when struck. Conductor n
d. Heath of the through freight, who
was in the caboose of his train, re,
ceived bad scalp wound, and was
injured about the hips and hands, in
the collision.
The work of clearing the wreckage
was very difficult, as ON either side
of the track the ledge rises to &
height of from 20 to 50 feet.

bors can shake hands and put out each

these rows have been so constructed
has given rise to good deal Of dis
Cussion. Some writer's give the reason
that when there was very high tide
the water might flow through them:
others. in the event of an invasion
they would prove an excellent means
of defense or that the ground plans OF
the rows were suggested by the fisher
mems nets, which, spread on the dunes

LETTER TO TAFT
URGES PRESIDENT TO ASK
AMENDMENT ON ELECTION
OF UNITED STATES
SENATORS.

Lincoln, Neb., July 14.--William J.
Bryan today addressed a letter to
President Taft asking the president to
allow the people to vote on popular
election of senators. Mr.. Bryan says:
President Taft: Now that the
states are going to vote on the ratifl-
cation Of the amendment specifically
authorizing an income tax, why not
give them a chance to vote on an
amendment providing for the election
OF United States senators by popular
vote? In your speech Of acceptance
you said that you were personally in
clined to favor such change in the
constitution. Would this not be an
opportune time to present the subject
to congress? Two constitutional
amendments, one authorizing an in
come tax and the other providing for
the popular election OF senators, would
make your administration memorable
and pledge you whatever assistance
/ can render In securing the ratifica-
tion of these amendments. With great
respect am, yours truly,
William j. Bryan"
