Things That Are Not So.

" knowledge, after all, is only series of
adjustments of perception to newly dis
covered facts and better digestion of
old and basic truths. Dalton's ultimate
chemical atom has gone the way of
Ptolemy's primum mobile. We now
know that negative electricity is posi-
tive electriflcation and that positive "elec-
tricity' does not exist; the erstwhile SIM
pie electron is found to be composite.
Radium has upsa our previous ideas
about the conservation and production OF
energy.

VETERAN OF TENNIS COURT
Engllshnan, Lately Deceased, Played
and Enjoyed the Game In Hls
9sventy.thIrd Year.

Mr.. Thomas White, the keeper Of
the royal tennis court at Hampton
Court palace. died Friday in his sew.
enty-fourth year. Wr. White, who
was the oldest tennis player in Eng
land and probably in the world, was
able to take an active part in the du.
ties up till about six months ago.
A native Of Cumberland, Mr.. White
early learned to play the old game Of
tennis in . court at at. James street,
Haymarket, and had taken part in
many notable tennis matches both in
this country and in America. The last
match he played and won was handi.
cap at Manchester in October. 1892. in
which he had to meet some Of the
best professional opponents of the
game. On this occasion his son. Al.
fred White, who for II years was
keeper of the Duke OF Flies court at
Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, and
who has played with the king there,
was second to his father in the match.
Thirty years ago Mr.. White was ap.
pointed to be the keeper of the famous
old tennis court at Hampton Court
palace. which is believed TO have
been built By Henry WILL, and in its
time It has been the scene of many
an interesting match In which English

synonyms Of circumlocution are vari.

many words where few would suffice.

are. or course, we cannot adopt this
