MISTAKES OF A SCIENTIST
sir George Alry's Predictions About
Atlantic Cable and Big Ben Were
Proved Wrong.

Sir George BiddeH Airy, British
astronomer royal, told the pioneers of
the first Atlantic cable that It was
mathematical impossibility to sub
merge the cable to the necessary
depth. and II 1t were possible no sig
nails could travel through so great
distance. Sir George was also asked
about the possibility of making Big
Ben, the great clock in the tower above
the houses Of parliament, 30 trustwor-
thy that 1t would not lose five sec
onds day on the average. He re-
piled that no clock exposed to the
weather could run with 80 small an
error. The late Lord Grimthorpe, how
ever, said he would guarantee the de-
gree of exactness, and by designing
his gravity escapement he produced a
timepiece that is never five seconds
out with the observatory at Greenwich,
to which 1t signals its time each day,
and on most days is dead true.

FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS
Canada to Join Hands With the Uni

Approves tho Idea.

Canada will be represented with the
United States In an endeavor to OBJ
tain uniform laws pertaining to road
building, If the proposition meets the
approval of Premier Borden. according
to an announcement made at the
American Road congress by A. W.
Campbell, deputy minister Of railways
and canals for the Canadian govern
ment. Mr. Campbell said that he
would use his influence in urging the
premier to consent to the appointment
Of q committee to confer with a com
mittee representing the American
Highway association and the American
Bar association to evolve a plan for
uniform road laws.
Il realize that in Canada, as we'll as
throughout the United States, we have
40 varieties of road laws for every
province" said Mr.. Campbell. "This
tends to retard real road work, and |
heartily indorse any plan that would
bring about practically the same laws
for both the United States and Canada
relative to good roads"

CHOCOLATE PLANT Is NATIVE

The chocolate plant is a native OF

Europe chocolate was used only as a
luxury, but it speedily advanced in

in countries far from its original home.
The chocolate plant, as we'll as tea
and coffee, has been cultivated from

brought.
The seeds of the chocolate plant are
in pods. In preparing the seeds for
market there has been but little
change since early times. First the
seeds are allowed to ferment, and thus
they lose the slight bitterness which
they possess whsn fresh. Then they
are carefully dried, and in this condi-
ton they stand transparent. In manu-
featuring the seeds or beans are roast
ed, by which process the shell of the
seed becomes detachable from the kerr
mel, which is the part used. Next the
roasted kernels are ground.
In early times the Mexicans used the
fat stones on which their maize was
ground for the grinding of the roasted
seeds of chocolate. Chocolate consists

London to Have New Lord Mayor.


Though he does not assume office

takes place this month. Already 1t is
announced that the choice of the liv-

Bowater, who is the head of a large

tart, as he is popularity called, has
been common councilman since 1899.
He was high sheriff Of London in
1866, when Re assisted the lord may

Profitable Bunko Scheme,

Among the extraordinary frauds
which have been perpetrated was one
put into operation by a company OF
schemers who told confiding public
that many fortunes were to be made
by importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them. 1t was stated in the pros
pectus that dried grapes could be i'm
ported at much cheaper rate than
wine, and that it was possible to pro-
duce an equal quantity of wine OF
equal quality to that made abroad
Thousands Of pounds were subscribed
by the British public, who firmly be-
lieved in the idea until the scheme col
lapsed.
