The Price of a Life.

According to AngIo-Saxon law, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king, was valued at fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
offense by money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life of a peasant was
reckoned to be worth POO shillings,
that of man Of noble birth 200 shil-
lings. and the killing of a king involved
the regicide in payment of 1900 shil-
lings. 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne coIld thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine, according to the scale, to the eX-
cheQuer, when his Offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself. for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt
that these rough means were practi-
cally applied in the case of some rulers
of England in the preconquest period.

THEY BORED HIM.

Him Again With Lead,

Him Again With Lead.
The dread of boredom is strongly
characteristic Of the present age. but
few hate it with such intensity as the
artist who lived in Paris in the davs
OF the commune and of whom c. F.
Halle speaks in his Notes Of Il
Painters Life
"A friend of mine" says Mr.. Halle.
told me that be was in the studio of
an artist when it was visited by a de-
tachment of soldiers The usual cues
ton about the possession of arms was
asked and answered in the negative.
but one of the soldiers found a gun in
the corner of the studio, and on his
evidence the owner was told that he
must come out and be shot My friend
was very fond Of him. so he asked to
be allowed to see the gun. 1t was
given to him, and with the help of a
pencil he passed his handkerchief a
few inches down the barrel and
brought it out brown with rust. He
pointed out that if the gun had been
used the inside of the barrel must
have been black with powder and not
brown with rust. so the artist was
let off.
MY friend asked the artist why he
had not himself suggested this simple
test. and all the answer he got was:
oh, they bored me. would rather
any day be shot than bored"

a Tree Ina, Grows Dishes,

There IS tree in the West Indies
that the natives say grows dishes
1t looks like an apple tree. They cali
it the calabash. 1t bears very queer
leaves and large white blossoms that
grow right from the trunk and larger
branches. After the flower comes the
fruit, just as eur apples or peaches
do. But this fruit is in the shape of a
gourd. only stronger and very much
larger. sometimes a. foot in diameter.
The shell Is so hard that an sorts OF
big and little dishes and drinking cups
can be carved out OF IT. Even pots

will adopt it for the U. S. regular army
service. The electrical signal devices
are more intricate but from the exper-

the officials as well as cadets, they are
an improvement over the other types
of the signal service now in use.
Deadly Little Guns.
Perhaps the most interesting appa-
rat1is attached to the autos were the
3O:3O automatic colt rifles for use in
destroying balloons and other types OF
air craft. On the hood of each car
is mounted one such gun, each having
the capacity of $50 shots per minute.
II is possible to discharge the gun at
any angle and to change the range
very quickly. The barrel is two inch
es thick and twenty inches long. 1t
is equipped with the most modern
type of sights. The gun will kill at
range OF over three miles.
Major Davidson, who in 1907 organ
lied a bicycle corps and passed
through this city, is the inventor OF
the wireless and electrical devices. He
is also working on plans for an cleo
trical freloss cooker to be attached to
the machine, as well as arranging a
device for the electric lighting of the
camp by means of generator at
tached to the engine of the auto. A
storage battery is a part of the equip
ment and furnishes the power for the
signals.
The party will take their time en-
route to Washington. After the dem
onstration to the war department Of
.ficials they will visit Annapolis and
West Point where the cadets will be
shown about. The tour combines
pleasure, education and sightseeing for
