jefferson as an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
jefferson was Il great inventor His in
yentions were all OF articles of every
day use He devised n three legged
folding camp stool that is the basis of
all camp stools of that kind today.
The stool he had made for his own
use was his constant companion on oc'
casions of outings. The revolving chair
was his invention. He designed light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by him and came into genera! use.
He also invented an instrument for
measuring the distance he walked. \
pillow and hemp cultivator showed
that his thoughts were often on agri-
cultural matters. His pillow received a
gold medal in France in 1880. Jeifer-
son never benefited financially by his
inventions. but believed they should
be for the use Of everyone without
cost

Ornamented With Scars.

The natives of some of the islands
of the Pacific are always glad to see
the doctor on his periodical visits. At
Kaiser Wilhelm's harbor the German
government has stationed DR.. Heise-
gang as medical officer. He is busy
man. Natives by the dozen come to
him, not to be treated for illness, but
to get the benefit of his professional
opinion on how to scar themselves ar
tistically. The natives are very fond
of scars. and nearly all of them are
covered with specimens which have
resulted from self inflicted wounds
which were kept open by frequent
scratching or by the introduction OF
foreign substances like sand, bamboo,
shells and so forth. The eXcrescence
which results from the average vacci-
nation is scratched off at the proper
time. and the resulting large scar Is
very dear to the native. A young
islander whose face and body are n
mass of cuts. bruises and scars is con-
sidered the catch of the season by the
dusky bellies.

Long before ever heard OF Christ

with Spain. General Tasker II. Bliss
with his troops. was stationed near
village held by an overwhelming force
of Spaniards. Orders We're to keep
his "eye peeled" and, if he heard any
thing suspicious, to fall back about
eight miles. Instead Of this his men
turned in one day and captured the
village. chasing the Spaniards out.
The next day the commander OF the
American forces came along TO find
Bliss sitting in front of the home OF
the chief man of the village. The com
mander asked him why he had attack
ed the Spanish force. when he knew
that he was outnumbered. Couldn't
help it," said General Bliss. You see,
my men have been hungry for some
days. and the wind blew toward them
from the village. and some squaw was

Rianess of Bio Ben.

Big Ben, which marks the hours for
parliament at the top of the clock tow
er at Westminster, is bigger than 1t ap-
pears from below. Looking at the dial
of Big Ben from the northern footway
of Great George street or from the
Thames embankment, 1t appears as II
its diameter might be equal 10 the
space that Il man of medium size could
cover with outstretched arms. AS a
matter OF fact, however, the diameter
of the dial is twenty-three feet. From
the ground the minute marks on the
dial look like ordinary minute marks

Really they are a foot apart. The nu-
merals are two feet long The minute

yond the center of the dial-is fifteen

that during snowstorm the clock is
