Plots of people like myself who never

Right then she gave 81 and promised
to raise some more among her friends.

One of the oldest trade secrets in the
world has never been divulged. 1t Is the
process of making chartreuse, the famous
liquor. The White Frsars, the monks of
the. chief Carthusian monastery of the
world, hold the secret, and from time i'm
memorial they have made this famous
cordial at La Grande Chartreuse situated
in an Alpine valley near Grenoble
France. Despite the fact that the French
government confiseated their property

1t has happened many times that valu-

cause the secret process of mixing it per-
ished with the inventor. The last quart
of this famous fluid was sold for $500
and that was 80 years ago.
Since then every effort has been made
to analyze the product in an attempt to
reproduce the oil, but without success
The man who made it and who alone
knew its composition died, and no one
knows his name or even the place of his
burial He never revealed to any one the
details of his mixture, and 1t was not
until after his death that. the real value
of the oil was discovered.
After the inventor died his bookkeeper
took the small stock of oil on hand as
dreaming that he would realize anywhere
near that amount from 1t. All during HIS
life the inventor had tried unsuccessfully
TO sell the oil to ciockmakers, but they
were skeptical and would not even give
it trial.
The bookkeeper proved to be a better
salesman than his former employer, and
finally succeeded in disposing of the en-
tire stock to a famous clockmaker. This
man in turn induced great chronometer
maker in London to try 1t. The firm made
a thorough test of it, using the oil on
type. The vessel made an Arctic voyage,

Progress in Aeronautics

From the Boston Transcript
The future travel by aeroplane depends
wholly on the safety which can be AFFORD

flights can be made with comparative Sc
curity the heavier-than-air machine car
never come into general use
For this reason there is an Imperative
need of much more careful nvestiga-
ton of the causes of aviation accidents
than has yet been undertaken There

suffer may be divided into three classes.
