in the air." Each was waiting for
noon. having his watch in hand. ready
to set at IL o'clock. When the Duke
Of Orleans was altering the palace in
1882 the Parisians were much dis
turbed. thinking that they were to be
deprived of their favorite sundial. But
the duke not only preserved the sun
dial, but added to it a little powder
magazine, which was so arranged that
1t exploded when the sunlight fell upon
1t, thus notifying every one who heard
the explosion that the hour of noon
had arrived. Later a cannon. which
was discharged by the sun at noon,
gave the signal.

Saved by a Cipher.

The story is told of how a neatly
constructed cipher saved Sir John Ire
vanion's life. This cavalier was taken
prisoner and locked up in Colchester
castle to await his execution On the
second day of his confinement the Jail
er brought him letter. which, as far
as the warder of the castle could dis
cover, was merely note of coincidence
from a friend. But the letter had been
concocted on a cipher to which Sir
John had a clew. Every third letter
after a punctuation mark of any kind
was to tell What he made out was
this: Panel at east end of chapel
slides" On the following evening the
prisoner begged permission to pass a
quiet hour in prayer In the chapel.
The request was granted, and before
the hour had passed the panel had
done its work and the bird had flown.

the foot of a little hill in New York

there wanted to name it after his ma

Roosts For Chickens.

Crooked breaStbOneS are caused by
young chickens roOsting on narrow

have roasting poles less than two
inches wide. 1t would seem only nat
ural to give the birds pole that they
could hook their toes around. but In
practice this does not seem to meet
with approval. Theoretically young
chickens should have smaller roost
