81 ~ q
~ a mechanician Archimedes pro.
duced the correct theory Of the lever
and invented no less than forty inter
esting devices, including the endless
screw, the pump, the organ and the
burning glass;" with which latter
novel weapon he Is said to have set
fire to the ships Of an enemy's feet
from a considerable distance. The sto-
~ is probably fabulous, but none the
less interesting, as exhibiting the faith
Of the people In the man and as indi-
eating the character Of his pursuits.
AS engineer Archimedes was looked
upon as hardly less than a magician.
He produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pixies at
long range into the ranks Of the enemy
or into his ships, and great derricks
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out Of water or to
upset 1t, destroying all on board. His
proposed use Of the lever meant the
production Of the inconceivable inven-
lions In machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate Of
Its Importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, "Give me whereon
to stand and will lift the earth"
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest Of
early engineers. His lever still moves
the world, and his spirit Is inherited
by generations Of the men who have
made modern civilization possible

TERRIBLE DEED OF
WISCONSIN FARMER
Murders -Four Of His Children
and Stays Himself.

Mondovi, Wis, Feb. 23.-Hans B.
Hanson, a farmer living near Strun,
murdered his, four children, boy and
three girls, whose ages ranged from
five to fifteen years. He is supposed
to have used a butcher knife, cutting
their threats. He followed this awful
quadruple crime by stabbing several
horses and COWS, fired the barn and
house and then cut his own throat
The bodies of the children were Gre
mated, but neighbors succeeded in ex.
Treating Hanson's body before the
flames reached it. Hanson used kero-
sene to start the fires, which de-
stroyed the house and barn. He was
a widoWer with five children. The
oldest, girl of twenty-one, was in
the village of Strun at the time of
the terrible tragedy and escaped. Han
son was fifty years old. About twelve
years ago he was an inmate Of an
asylum, but later was liberated. Of
late years he had not shown any
signs of insanity and was considered
harmless. -.-

Cold Storage Rats.

The attendant came out Of the cold
storage room with an awed look.
''Rats are wonderful" he said. 1--WE
thought modern plumbing would abol-
1sh them, but they live in the clean
light and dryness of the best modern
plumbing more comfortably than they
did in the damp and filth and darkness
of the past. We thought the modern
ship would abolish them, but the Lu-
s1tania has as many rats as had the
Columbus caravels. And here
He made an awed gesture.
"And here find rats in our cold
storage rooms at temperatures that
freeze the breath and cause it to fall
in the form Of snow. To and fro they
prowl. Their coats are thick and warm
like fur, and, with frost on their
whiskers, they feed heartily on meat
and game frozen to rocklike hardness"

Women In ENGLAND.

In the seventeenth century, when
Englishwomen were still recognized as
possessing an economic and political
status side by side with Englishmen,
there was written an interesting entry
in the church warden's accounts Of st.
Martin's-in-the-Field proving that one
Elizabeth Bartlett was intrusted with
the casting of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus were
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be
found in the records Of the Fleet pris-
on, Of which the first female warden,
appointed in 1917 on the death of her
husband Robert, received the same sal
airy "as the said Robert had been &C.
customed to during his life." There
was no talk then Of combining the wo-
mans sphere to work that was paid
badly. -..s r.

DEFENDANT PLEADS GUILTY
Third Graft Case at Pittsburg Ends
Abruptly.

Pittsburg, Feb. 2S.-The third trial
growing out of the recent graft eX-
posures was abruptly ended in Grim
inal court when A. A. Vilsack, former
cashier of the German National bank,
pleaded no defense to a charge of
bribery in connection with the $17,500
said to have been given by w. w.
Ramsey, former president Of the bank,
and Vilsack to Councilman John F.
Klein in payment for an ordinance
making the bank a city depository.
Ramsey and Klein were convicted last
week on similar charges. This con-
cludes the case against Vilsack.
Immediately the fourth trial was
taken up. The defendants are Coun-
cilmen John F. Klein, J. G. WATSON
and William Brand and w. w. Ram
sey, the bank president. All are
charged with conspiracy.
That the graft investigations are
only in their infancy is the opinion
generally expressed here Previous to
the beginning of court it was reported
that the next grand jury will return
indictments against lightweight mem
bers Of councils.
