the proceeds being devoted to public
purposes. Four hundred thousand lots
were drawn for the prizes Of cash and
silver plate, and for four months moth
ing else was thought or talked Of, and
the delight of the winners and the
despair of the unfortunates seemed
equally exaggerated. A perfect cpl
demic of lotteries followed. there be-
ing no laws upon the subject, and soon
there were lottery tailors, lottery tea
merchants, lottery BARRIERS (who with
each shave at threepence gave ticket
that might draw ten pound prize',
lottery shoebacks. lottery eating
houses where for sixpence a plate of
meat and the chance OF drawing 60
guineas were given, and so on down
to a sausage stall in narrow alley,
where 1t was written that he who
bought a farthing's worth of sausage
might realize capital of shilings.

Tn. Hand kis..

The kiss Of the hand Is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore Is not derived
from that OF the lips. but probably the
converse IL true. The hand kiss Is
loosely asserted to be developed from
servile obeisances In which the earth
the foot and the garments were kiss
ed, the hand aud cheek succeeding In
order of time and approach to equality
of rank. But II Is doubtful II that
was the actual order. and II IL certain
that at the time when hand kissing
began there were less numerous grada-
tions of rank than at later stage.
kissing Of the hands between men
Is mentioned in the Old Testament;
also by Homer, Pllny and Luclan. The
kiss was applied reverentially to sacred
objects, such as statues Of the gods. AZ
is shown by ancient works Of art. and
also among numerous etym0logles by
that of the Latin word "adoro." and 1t
was also metaphorically applied by
the inferior or worshlper kissing his
own hand and throwing the salute to
the superior or statue.

Tho Story of q Statue.

There was set up in the seventeenth
century at Yarmouth, Isle Of Wight,
what is probably the most curious
piece of art eXtant. erected to the
memory of Sir Robert Holmes. Brit
ish naval officer of that period. The
odd circumstance Is that the statue
was not originally designed for Holmes
at all. but for very different person
age, no other. indeed, than Louis XIV.
of France. This statue. finished as to
the figure. but In the rough as to the
head, was being taken to France on
an italian vessel when 1t was captured
by British man-of-war commanded
by Holmes. Upon perceiving the I'M
finished condition Of the statue
Holmes. with grim humor. compelled
the artist. who had accompanied his
work, to chlsel his (Holmes) head on
the kIag's body. And so 1t stands to-
day. Holmes was eventually made
governor of the Isle of Wight, which
fact accounts for the location Of this
mongrel bit of artistry.

Antiquity of the Water Punnp.

The water pump of today is but an
Improvement on Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Phlladelphos and
Energetes. 2S3 to 22l B. c. The name.
which is very similar in all languages.
Is derived from the Greek word penn
DO, to send or throw. The most an
cient description we have Of water
pump Is by Hero of Alexandria. There
is no authentic account Of the general
use of the pump In Germany previous
to the beginning Of the sixteenth cen
tury. At about that time the endless
chain and bucket works for raising
water from mines began to be replaced
by pumps. In the seventeenth century
rotating pumps, like the Pappenham
engine. with two pistons, and the
Prince Rupert. with one, were first
used. Pumps with plunger pistons
were invented by Morland, an Eng
lishman. in 1914 and the double acting
pump by De la Hire, the French acade-
mician.
