EQUALS BEST BARON TOLD
Story More Incredible Than Any
Of Munchausen's.

Baron Munchausen's famous book
Of travels was published in 1855, ex.
Nctly century and a quarter ago.
That is not very long time, says the
New York Evening Post But suppose
Munchausen had protested to carry
his travels into an undiscovered land,
where science and invention had had
start of a century or two as COM
pared with Europe; and suppose that
be had told of an invention by which
the exact picture of an object was
permanently impressed upon a plate
by brief exposure to light; that at
hrst II took some minutes of ex.
posture to make the picture, but that
year by year methods were found for
increasing the sensitiveness of the
plates, until at last picture could be
obtained in an almost infinitesimal
traction of a second; that a favorite
amusement of the people was to look
at a swift succession of pictures OF
this kind, portraying persons and
things in motion. which produced upon
the eye the precise impression OF the
original living scene; but that some
exhibitors of such scenes got into
trouble because the actors in them
had INDUCED in vile language, forget
ful of the fact that the motion of their
lips was perfectly reproduced. and
that deaf mutes had been taught to
read the lips. Would not this story
have been regarded as equaling in In
credibility. and surprising in gro
tesqueness. almost anything the baron
actually put into his book?

Tuning a Church Bell.

No matter how great may be the
care taken in making the mold. bell
has TO be tuned before it will ring a
clear. true note. AS a matter of fact.
every bell sounds five notes, all Of
which must blend together harmo-
niously. II one is the least bit out
the tune will be spoiled
The first of these notes is produced
by the vibrations at the mouth of the
bell, the second by the vibrations a
little higher up, the third still higher
up, and so on TO the fifth, which is
produced quite near the top. AS the
character of the sound which rings
depends upon the thickness of the
metal. II is possible by taking thin
shavings from various places in the
inside of the bell to alter the five notes
until they are all in harmony.

Modern Game OF Chess

Chess, as played today is a compar.
atively modern game, but is the out.
come of centuries of development. The
earliest record of chess problems is
thought to be passage in Persian
manuscript attributed to Caliph Kalif-
en- Mutasin Bilah. who reigned nine
years in Bagdad in the first of the
ninth century, A. ID. If the passage
were understood 1t would be found Co
refer to game of chess so unlike that
of today that the problem would
make no interesting appeal to any
modern chess-player.

Dance Forbidden by Uncle Sam.

Fiercest of all the wild orgies of the
aborigines of North America is the
fiesta which eliminates in the fire
dance of the Saboba Indians, a small
tribe living close to the Sierra Madre
range of mountains, which wall off the
seacoast of California from the desert.
Up to last year, when the Indian
bureau of the United States govern
ment finally forbade the holding of
these fiestas, the Sabobas had gath
cred every year at the base of old
Mount San Jacinto to sing, dance and
gamble, and finally to throw them
selves into pit of fiery Goals, roll
over and over on the burning bed, and
then dance with bare feet on the red
hot floor of the pit.-Wide World Mag

The Parthenon.

The destruction of this famous build.
ing took place in 1857. during the siege
of Athens by the Venetians. The
Turks held the city, and the Parthe-
non was used for a powder magazine.
One day during the conflict Vene-
tian bombshell dropped into the build
ing, and the explosion followed which
badly shattered the structure. From
that date the renowned building stood
roofless and exposed TO all the in
clemencies of the weather. For more
than 1000 years the temple stood en-.
tire, and in its ruins is the architec.
tural wonder of the world.

far and more are expected. one Of
the participants i'm the race will be
Jussie Stietz, the Marathon runner
who has defeated everyone in the upper
peninsula in his line and who is now
seeking the amateur championship of
the United States. The course over
which the men will travel has not yet
been laid out and this will not be done
until the Saturday before the race so
that no one will have chance to prac-
tice over the ground which he is TO
cover. A very good course has been
laid out but IL is TO be kept a secret
until the race when II will be marked
out with flags The course is TO be
policed to see that no infringments are
made on the rules Of the race and
judges will follow the skiers in cut
tiers to see that no shortcuts are taken

several Calumet Hancock and Hough-
ton parties and are well worth while.
