Dick Wilmington" is one of the
most puzzling of all London pantomime
stories, in point of origin. Tradition
says positively that is a true story of
a former lord mayor of London. and il
certainly is true that a Richard Whit
tington did marry his masters daugh-
stead of being a homeless boy he was
the son of a knight. Sir William Whit
tington. Italy. Brittany, Norway n
Russia all have practically the same
tale. The story also appears in a book
by a Persian author, written years be-
fore the real Wilmington was born.

A strong box containing family rec

days ago to examine an old manuscript.
The box had not been disturbed for sew
eral years and the women, who had
taken it into a private room. were sur
prised when they removed h old
fashioned open ACE watch from its
resting place to hear it tick loudly. This
to them was evidence that the box had
been tempered with. But everything
was found intact and in keeping with
the memorandum of contents, and they
were much perplexed because of the
ticking watch, which ceased it's activity
before the box was returned to its
place. A matchmaker who was con

Last winter there was introduced ex-
perimentally an automatic system OF
heating the water in tanks on the roof,
SO as to prevent freezing, and the de-
vice was so successful that it is now
being extensively resorted to. Where
these tanks are used to supply sprink-
ling systems it is very important that
they should not be allowed to freeze
up. and the electrical apparatus takes
care of the tank without any attention.
When the temperature of the water
approaches the freezing point the heat
is turned on automatically and con
gealing is prevented.

a worse effect on most people in win
ter than in summer, and he advises all
smokers who find their health and men
tai faculties impaired in winter for no
apparent reason to accept tobacco as
the explanation and to cut down their
smoking during the colder months. To-
bacco. he says, is a powerful drug, n
cannot be consumed in large quaint
ties without producing n certain effect
on the heart. 1t must be remembered
that during the winter the heart has a
