mechanical ingenuity being reached in

men for hosting the graphite in a

William The Conqueror the Ruffan Who Stole-and Made
ENGLAND

England

"Normans' and their province Nor
mandy"
William the Conqueror was the son
of Duke Robert OF Normandy C'Rob-
ert the Devil'') and a tanners daugh-
ter. He was born in 1927. From early
boyhood he led a life of constant war
fare, peril and treachery. In order to
save his dukedom and his life from the
greed OF neighboring potentates he
was forced to acts of brutality and
crime At length he was safely estab-
lished in his own realm and looked
about him for further conquests. His
eye fell on England.
The English king, Edward the Con-
fessor," was childless. William per-
suaded or bribed Edward to beQueath
to him the throne of England.
Edward died early in 1865. The
English decided, rightfully, that no
king could legally beQueath his crown
to anyone. So they elected Harold
their king. At once William demand
ed the crown. Harold refused to give
it up. William stirred up an invasion
of England by the Norwegians and
landed Norman host on the British
shores at about the same time. Har-
old thrashed the Norwegians, then
hurried his tired army to Hastings to
meet William. The Normans were
victorious; and in London, on Christ
mas day, 1866, William was crowned
king of England. There he built
fortress that later became the famed
Tower Of London"
His conquest OF England was piece
of bare highway robbery, with no
shadow of moral right to justify 1t.
Yet, in the end. it was the best thing
that could have happened to the coun-
try. For it infused new blood into the
rough Saxon strain, modernized the
isolated, old-fashioned British and
brought them into touch with the
world at large and with progress.
The king of France made fun OF
Williams fairness. William, in rage,
found excuse to invade France. There,
in 1887, he captured and burned the
town of Nantes As he was riding
through the city's hot embers his
horse reared and threw him, causing
mortal injury.
Thus the BLACKBOARD who for sixty
years had braved death in ever form
persisted at last through a bit OF care
less horsemanship.

were red on my face, dry and scaly,
not large; on my scalp they were
larger, some scabby. They came on
my hands. The inside Of my hands
were all little Jumps as though full of
shot about one-sixteenth of an inch

the outside and between and all over
my fingers. It also began on the bot
toms of my feet and the calves Of my
legs, and itch, oh, my! never had
anything like it and hope I never will
again. The itching was terrible. My
hands got so I could scarcely work.

Experts Have Not Found Out the

Roman Cement.

The secret of the ancient Roman
cement is once more a topic of dis
cussion since the fall of few yards
of Roman wall at Caerwent in Eng
land. The fall was due to movement
Of the subsoil, and not to the decay OF
the wall ITSELF There are still severai
hundred miles Of the Roman walls to
be seen in England and they seem to
be as strong as the day they were
built. An expert of the London NIu-
scum quoted by the New York Sun
saws: I'VE do not know the method
of its composition, but it IS far sound
er than any modern cement Indeed,
when some part of such a wall has to
be dislodged it is necessary to use
dynamite. All we know is that pound

the cement For the rest. Roman

rienne found them. He became "st
lent partner" in dishonest army
contract firm. He and his accom-
plices cleared up. it is said, more than
100000 before their frauds were ex
posed.
Bourrienne was banishcd by Napo~
leon to Hamburg. But, to soften the
blow, his old school friend gave the
secretary a fat official appointment
there. Bourrienne had acquired the
taste for graft. Now that he was
away from Napoleon's watchful eye he
gratified his dishonest cravings with

He wrongfully wrung huge sums
from the Hamburg senate and from
German noblemen. At last his thefts
became 80 outrageous that complaint
was made to Napoleon. The latter.
who was now emperor of France. re.
called Bourrienne in disgrace, degrad-
ed him from his Office and compelled
him to refund 100000 Of the stolen
money. Napoleon was never noted for
gratitude or for kindness. The fact
that he had done anything at all for
the ex-school chum was unusual. Now
he washed his hands of the man.
In 1914 Napoleon was overthrow
by the allied powers of Europe and
was packed of to E]be an exile. Bour-
rienne was among the first to hail
Louis XVIII. (the Bourbon king Of ths
allies set on Frances throne in Napo.
Icons place., and to clamor for oftics
under him.
Then back from Elba came Ma
poleon. All France rose to greet him,
and Louis XVIII. fed for his life. Ma
poleon offered pardon to nearly all his
political foes, but he pointedly re-
fused to forgive Bourrienne. Tremb-

downfall. The turncoat Jared well for
some years. But, like most grafters,
Bourrienne at last lost every penny of
his tainted wealth. He was forced to

His mind gave way and, in 1884, he

the son of a Frenchman Of loWly birth.
He had no rightful place in the acad-
envy from which officers were to be
graduated For in those days. only
men of wealth, raak or influence as
rule, rose to rank in the French army.
That ill-placed boy was Louis Antoine
Fouvelet de Bourrienne.
His classmate and friend was
splendid chap with huge head. He
was the butt of the school because OF
his hot temper, his haughtily borne
poverty, his shabby clothes, his shr1ll,
cracked voice and Corsican accent.
This youngster was the son Of an old,
impoverished Cors:can family. His
name as spelled at that time was
Nabulione Bounaparte. He was one
day to rule and bully his scornful fel-
low students as Napoleon l., Emperor
Of the French"
On leaving Brienne in 1885 the two
comrades separated. 1t was years be-
fore they met again. Bonaparte work
ed his way up to lieutenancy in the
army OF King Louis XVI. Bourrienne,
failing to obtain an officers commits

branches Of the diplomatic service.
The friendship of boyhood hNd cooled
when he and Bonaparte CHANGED to
meet in Paris in the late days Of the
old French monarchy. Bonaparte,
with his keen judgment Of human ma
:ure, seems to have gagged his old
schoolmate's character Alright and to
aave found nothing in it to admire.
Yet when Bonaparte was First Con-
sur and ruler of France in 1895 he
sent for Bourrienne and made him his
private secretary. He afterward be-
slowed other Offices on the pqdr young
