FERRIS, HUMORIST

w E should not all get so "het up"
w over politics-it would not be
W such serious business if we were
all as good losers as the Hon. 'Dick"
Ferris, erstwhile and previously one
of the Republican candidates for the
honor of presiding over the state sem
ate. In his unconventional affidavit
of election expenses, printed in another
column, Mr.. Ferris takes us unreserv-
edly into his confidence. Some of the
statements filed by other candidates
are, in their terseness, too much like
the boys diary transcribed by Mark
Twain, thus:
"Got up. Washed. Went to bed"
Not so Mr. Ferris. He was the goat,
and he frankly says so, with all the
circumstantiaI proof in dollars and
cents that he spent for getting his
fingers burned. Ills statement re-
minds us of one made by the painter
who touched up a large allegorical
painting in a Belgian church. An
itemized bill being demanded he rem
edred one as follows:
Embelshing Pontius PLATE and putting
new ribbon on his hat...................'.. S'O2

and mending his comb. $40

THE FIRST WATCH AND CLOCK
Working Of Earliest Alarm Clock Cor.
sidered Wonderfui-When See
ond Hand Was Introduced.

Since celebration are the order of
the day who not observe the sixt a
centenary Of the Introduction
Of clocks! 1t was. we are told. in 1909
that the first clock known to the
world was placed in the tower Of San
Eustorgia, In Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who come to see the timepiece. In
1874 clock was installed In the pal
ace Of the mobiles at Padua. This was
q wonder of mechanism indeed. for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course Of the sun. tho revolutions
Of the planets. the various phases Of
the moon. the months and the fetes
OF the year.
The priod Of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was II years. not
SO very long all things considered,
and the record Of the FIRST watch Ii
1880. A half century later an alarm
clock made it appearance. This. we
are told. was looked upon by the peo-
pie OF that age as an "un instrument
prodigeux."
The fortunate possessor OF this
clock was Andrea Alciato. a council
lor Of Milan. The chroniclers have
placed on record that this clock
sounded a bell at q stated hour. and
at the same time a little wax candle
was lighted automatically. How this
was done we are not told. but It must
not be overlooked that until about 10
years ago We had no means Of obtain
ing a light other than the tfnderbo1,
SO that the Milanese must have been
centuries ahead Of us In this respect
Not much progress was made wits
the watsh until 1740. when the second
hand was added.

Wasted Effort.

1t is said that a California poet was
badly handled by his wife because he
neglected to support the family
When they asked for bread he gave
them a sonnet. and when they clam.
ored for pie he came across with .
madrigal.
Nevertheless, 1t doesn't seem quite
right for his wife to reach over and
snatch tufts from his Uranium cover
and batter his shins with bench.made
shoes and crack his Stats with q
broom handle. That sort OF treatment
doesn't bring results. A poet with q
black eye and a twisted neck and a
dented Eneepan is no more useful
than poet in perfect order.
What the lady should do would be
to have her poet hubby pick up some
side trade that would promise finan-
cial results-as they do In Indiana,
where you will find the baker writes
poetry, and SO do the hairdresser and
the motorman and the bartender.
But there is no use attempting to
club money out Of poet

Vaccine for Treatment Of Cant

Vaccine for Treatment Of Cancer.
Is cancer. the disease which has baf.
fled medical science for over q hun
dred years, to be conquered at last?
DR.. p. X. Gilman Of Oakland, profess
sor OF surgery in the Philippine Med.
ical School and surgeon in chief of the
Philippine General Hospital at Manila,
believes he has discovered a vaccine
which will stop the ravages of the
dread disease.
With this vaccine Doctor Gilman
says he has cured twenty cases Of
cancer in Manila. In his laboratories
there he has been working for three
years on his discovery and is now
ready to give to the world the fruit of
his labors. In perfecting this vaccine
Doctor Gilman was assisted by Dr.. A.
F. Coca, pathologist in the bureau of
science at Manila.-San Francisco

SHRINE OF VENUS UNCOVERED
Mundane Inducements by Which the
Shrine Of Cupid's Mother
Was Located.

Away in the Mediterranean. at Ran
tidi, in the southwest corner OF the
island of Cyprus. untouched by human
hands for at least seven centuries be-
fore Christ, the spade of tho antiquary
has uncovered the shrine Of Venus,
otherwise Paphos. or Aphrodite. or
Astarte. whichever you please AS
was fitting. the real discoverer was a
peasant OF pastoral occupation. Tho
account reads like a page from Theo-
critus:
"One day a shepherd was sitting on
one Of the ancient stonef1elds Of Ran
tidi. After playing for a long time Oh
his reed-fute he grew tired Of his
with his long stan one of the stones
at his feet. AS he did SO he saw ap-
pearing on the surface OF the stone in
two regularly chiseled lines most
curious signs unknown to him and
quite different from the Greek in
scriptions lying about in the temple
yard Of Kouklia. his native home.
which he passed every day with his
flock"
There the idyl ends. The shep-
herd began to talk Of his discovery,
and his reports reached learned ears.
Then diplomacy had to be used. in
the form OF a sumptuous dinner. .
