It ~ Net Supposable, but It Recalls
Good story About Theodore Hook.
Suppose within a few days a gen.
tleman should arrive at London or
Berlin from the far north claiming
to be one Or the other of the two
discoveries of the long sought pole.
Suppose he is received with high ac'
claim, is the subject of unlimited ora

banquets. the whole land rings with
his praise. Suppose that few days
later another gentleman arrives from
the far north with the claim that he.
he alone, has discovered the coveted
pole, and the man who has received
the honors and the banquets has left
nothing for him, although the first
conner may prove to be a faker and
a fraud
Something very like this did once
happen. The Spanish Ambassador
was expected to arrive at Southamp-

came into the head OF Theodore Hook

The English fleet was lying off

one morning a launch set out from

In this launch was he who purport-
ed to be the Spanish Ambassador,
In almost royal robes, arrived two
days before the expected time. The
Mayor Of Southampton, who was to
receive the Spanish envoy, was
greatly flustered. 1t was all so sud-
den. He did the best he could. Sew
eral companies of soldiers, some on
foot, some mounted, were called out.
The bells were rung. The Ambas-
sador, accompanied by number Of
young officers Of the fleet, was es-
corted with much pomp to the May
or's palace. There was a banquet
and speech making. one of the young
officers acting as Interpreter for the
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on his
way to London the true Ambassador
arrived. There was but a sorry re-

ever known on a Mayor and a city

the town. The scandal was so great.

The Craze That Ragged In Holland IN

Daiing the tulip craze in Holland IN
the last century in one year the safes
aggregated 100000 forms. Holland
went tulip mad. The bulbs were quot
ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership
in them was divided into shares. Spec
a1lators sold them short. At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. At
Lille a brewer sold his trade and good

thereafter known as the Brewery tu-

by way Of dover with his child. There
after the variety was known as the
Maesiage of My Daughter. At Rotter-

IDOLATRY IN MEXICO.
The Natives Still Sacrifice Animals d

The Natives Still Sacrifice Animals -
Their Favorite Gods.
1t may not be as apparent, but as
a matter Of fact idolatry has strong
a hold on the natives Of the Mexican
hot lands as when Cortes and his sol
diers marched through them ON their
way to Honduras 400 years ago.
In the state of Oaxaca, in which IS
Tehuantepec, there is near every vii
lage some secluded spot-be it a cave,
the top of mountain or forest en-
circled pool-whither the people, clan
destinely repair in order to make sac
rifices to their gods. The favorite sac
riice is a goat, a turkey or other fowl,
the head of which is cut off and buried,
while the soil and the other offerings,
consisting of dishes of food and q
gourd filled with an intoxicating drink,
are sprinkled with the blood. The
place where these sacrifices are made
determines their effect. If Tehuana
bears a grudge against a neighbor he
will bury the head of a chicken or the
bones of dog at dead of night out
side of his victims house, though, ON
the other hand, if the ceremony is per-
formed within it can bring nothing
but good luck.
The natives of the isthmus firmly
believe that every child at birth be

beast of the jungle, and the grownup
man will never hurt that particular

the child dies too. The question is to
determine just what kind Of an animal
it is, and in order to reassure him.

TORRIC ELLrs VACUUM.
Experiment That Led to the Invention
@ . Of the Barometer. h

Experiment That Led to the Invention
Of the Barometer.
Tie barometer was invented by Tor
ricelli, a pupil Of Galilei, in 16433. In
attempting to pump water from a very
deep well near Florence he found that
in spite of all his efforts the liquid
would not rise higher in the pump
stock than thirty two feet. This set
the young scientist to thinking, and as
he could not account for the phenome-
non in any other way he was not slow
in attributing it to atmospheric pres
sure He argued that water would
rise in vacuum olly to such a height
as would render the downward pres
sure or weight Of the column Of water
just equal to the atmospheric pressure
and. further, that should heavier fluid
be used the height of the column could
be much reduced. TO prove this he
selected a glass tube four feet long
and after sealing one end filed it with
mercury and then inverted it in a
basin containing quantity Of the same
peculiar liquid. The column in the
tube quickly fell to a height of nearly
thirty inches above the mercury in the
basin, leaving in the top of the tube a
vacuum which is the most perfect that
has ever been obtained and which is
to this day called the Torricelli vac
uum in honor of it's discoverer. The
name of the instrument means 'ail
measure" and it's fundamental princi-
pies cannot be better illustrated than
by the above described experiment.

Ancient Spectacle Makers.

The ancient Guild of Spectacle Max
ers is numerically one of the strongest
London companies. Its charter dates
from the year 1929 and, though the ex-
act date Of it's origin is lost. there is
ample evidence that the calling Of
spectacle maker was extensively fol-
lowed at very early date. An old
book of 1863 mentions the spectacle
makers among other traders. and the
biography of Carlo Zeno, an illustrious
Venetian, who died in 1913, mentions
that even at the age of, eighty:-four he
needed no artificial aids to his sight.
So presumably spectacles were COM
mon in Italy five centuries ago.-Lon-

sequent Surprise.
When Albion w. Tourgee wrote "A
Fools Errand" he named one Of his
leading characters Theron Pardee. An
early copy Of the book fell into the
hands of the Rev. Luther Pardee. an
Episcopal clergyman of Chicago, whose
father was named Thereon Pardee.
The name is such an unusual combina-
ton that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father. and
they were both puzzled by the coinci-
denee. They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what had led him
to use the name. He replied, in equal
amazement that he had not supposed
there was such a man living as a The
ron Pardee. Then be stated that he
had prolonged search for suitable
name for the character of his story
one that would express just what he
imagined this character to be. In the
course of the hunt an old copy Of the
curriculum Of Union college had fallen
into his hands. 1t was dated 1925. or
something as far back. and among the
names of the students was one Thereon
Pardee. The judge said 1t had i'm
pressed him as being one of the rich
est. most solid and most satisfying
names he ever had heard. so he decid-
ed to adopt it for his character. The
curriculum was 50 old that he had no
hesitation in using the name, and he
was astonished to learn that the right
fui owner Of it was living. His expla-
nation was accepted and the resulting
acquaintance was pleasing all around.
