CHESS IS A MODERN GAME
Has Been SO Developed and Amended
That Inventor Would Hardly
Recognize It.

Chess is but game, pastime. a
relaxation, but it has at times alb
sorbed the faculties Of the Intellectual
in every cline. 1t numbers among its
amateurs the greatest names of bat
tlefelds and thrones; it tells of war
riors, poets. painters, sculptors, states
men and divines; it possesses litera-
ture and language of its own; 1t makes
enemies friends, and finds temple on
the ocean, in the fortress, and by the
peaceful fireplace. Perhaps the great
est eulogy on the game was the re-
mark Of Sir Walter Raleigh: II do
not wish to live longer than can
play chess" 1t is certain that those
who do not play theagame are quite
unable to form any conception Of the
high intellectual delights experienced
by the enthusiast.
The origin of chess has been sought
in vain The fact is, the game has so
changed. developed and improved
down the course of centuries that in
Its present form it would not be recog-
n1zed by its inventor-if there ever
was one. The oldest chess problem
on record Is thought to be that con.
tanned In an ancient Persian manu-
script attributed to Caliph Kalifen
Mutasin Billah, who reigned in Bag
dad A. D., 83S to 842 But the reader
would have to learn the old rules be-
fore 1t was Ineligible. For example,
the queen could make a move Of only
one square at a time, and that one q
diagonal, but queen promoted from
q pawn was allowed to make move
OF two squares diagonally. The bishop
mad no power over any square except
the third from which it stood on It's
own diagonal line, but it was allowed
to vault over any piece that happened
to be between. In short, it was total
ly different game. Chess, in the pre-
else form in which we know 1t and
play 1t today. is comparatively mod
ern game.

Early Mail Routes.

The first record contained in our
colonial history Of any kind OF mail
service dates from 1876, when the
court in Boston appointed Mr. John
Hayward to take In and convey let
tiers according to their direction" In
December, 17!6, arrangements were
made to receive letters in Boston from
Williamsburg. Va. during four weeks
of the summer time and eight weeks
in winter. In 1873 Henry Pratt was
appointed riding postmaster" for all
the routes between Philadelphia and
Newport. Va. to set out in the begin
ming Of each month and return "a
days. Postage stamps were first in
PRODUCED into the United States In
1847.

o,d-Time Prophet.

The old-time prophet had to guard
against predicting too successfully
Especially where horrors were con
cerned There was William Lilly
who lived in the days of the great
fire of London. And nearly died. For
he had prophesied a fire, and parlia.
mentary committee at once called him
to account. He confessed that he had
drawn designs Of persons in winding
sheets and Of grave-diggers in shoals.
which were intended to foretell the
plague. And Of fires, he had dabbied
in designs of blazing houses which
might have been meant for London.
After which confessions he played his
trump card. He had never given the
date of the fire. And the committee
acquitted him!

Healed Birds Broken Leg.

In the case of crane fine results
are claimed for broken leg. Its slen.
der limb is no thicker than lead
pencil. Instead of destroying the poor
bird, an English expert decided to try
to save leg and life. Linen bandages
dipped in gum were put on. These
set satisfactorily and weighed little or
nothing. After this the intelligent
bird kept to itself and needed no
further attention for few weeks.
When the bandage was cut away the
leg worked as well as ever, slightly
deformed. Some naturalists say that
birds breaking their legs set them
themselves. using a sticky mud and
weeds or grass for bandage.-New

colored Moving Pictures.

The solution OF the problem OF
colored moving pictures is claimed by
Berthon, French experimenter. The
natural tints are split up into the
three primary colors - blue-violet,
green and orange-by three narrow
colored silts in the lens Of the cam.
era, and the images of the ,e sits. in
complementary colors, are repro
duced over the ordinary Photographic
image on the sensitive plate by an in
terposed special screen, consisting of
a great number OF very narrow curved
strips of celluloid. The result is q
photograph OF ordinary appearance.
This. however, is thrown on q screen
through q lens with three colored Sits
similar to that used for taking the pic
lures, and the original IL reproduced
in natural coloring.

Horse shoes.

There were horseshoes as far back
as history can take us, but they were
not iron ones fastened by nails to the
hoof. When such shoes first came into
use will probably never be known. The
ancient horseshoes-those used by the
Greeks. Romans and others-were
plates covering the entire bottom of
the foot and fastened by thongs fixed
about the animals ankle. The oldest
horseshoe nails found by antiquaries
date back to the time Of Childeric l.,
who died in AL. 1t is generally under
stood that horseshoes were introduced
into England by William the Con.

Try This When
Your flair Is Dusty
(From the New york Herald.)

'When the hair is dusty and dull, and
you want to clean it quickly. just
sprinkle thru It little dry shampoo
powder made by mixing four ounces OF
orris root with four ounces of therox.
"Then brush the hair thoroughly and
not only will 1t be clean, but it will
have rich and glossy lustre that can
be given in no other,way. So little time
is required for this dry shampoo that it
can be done profitably whenever the
hair Is dressed.
Therox is excellent for the scalp and
gives the hair new life and vigor. The
regular use Of this mixture heightens
the natural color, while. washing the
hair2with water teo-often, causes It to
lose color and become dull and brittle.
