AN ODE TO ISLANDER

'"Tis an assassin of the midnight

deep the crimson current of the heart.

cheek like the vile viper in a vale of
flowers, and riots in ambrosial bios

guests cup.
1t was not long after receiving this
attention from the governor that the
guest, white as death, arose from his
seat and staggered from the banquet
hall. Beyond the portal he fell dead.
The wine sent him by the governor
was poisoned.
So delighted was the monster with
this plan Of murder that he seldom
gave a feast that he did not honor a
guest with a pledging by proxy. When
the slave who stood behind the gov
ernor's chair took up his masters cup
and started for some guest a hush fell
on the feasters. and all were mute till
1t was known who must die. 1t would
have availed nothing for a man to re-
ernor. for it would have been consid-
cred a sufficient excuse to order him
dispatched at once. Indeed, those who
were thus called upon to die in the
presence Of others preferred to meet
death manfully.
In the governors household was a
Roman maiden named Tullia. who was
a great favorite with him. His affec.
ton for her was about the only lauda-
BILE feature in him. But Tullia did not
dare to attempt to influence him in the
matter of his assaSsinationS, for the
bare mention of them. much as he low
ed her. would have caused her own
death. Tullia had a lover named Bal
bus. who had charge of the collection
of the tribute money. and it was this
young man who discouraged her from
any attempt to interfere with their
master to prevent his assassinations.
She had in mind a means of stop
ping them by a~ssassinating the mon
ster herself. Fifteen hundred years
later, in this same Gaul. it's name

flow of blood during the French revo-
luton by a similar act. Tullia made
up her mind to sacrifice herself to
save others and confided her determi-
nation to Balbus. Naturally he sought
to prevent her. Indeed, he told her
that if she would not give up her reso-
luton he would 60 at once to Caro-
linus, stab him and thus sacrifice his
own life in place of hers. On her
promise to abandon her intention he
agreed that he would join with her in
forming a plan to stop the assassina,
tons in some other way.
One day oon after this interview
Balbus met a man whose likeness to
the governor was remarkable. They
were the same height, both very cor

Tullia'S
Plan
A Story of Ancient
Gaul
BY F. A. Mitchell

During the decline of the Roman EN-,
pire there was a governor Of the prov
ince Of Gaul, Marcus Carolinus. who
was not only the representative Of the
government. but of that degraded con-
dition to which both it and the Roman
people had sunk. Assassination was
in vogue at the capital and had fallen
so low that it was more usually &C.
complished by means Of poison than
by the dagger.
Carolinus was endowed with despotic
power. which he used. like every Ro-
man in Office in those days. to make
himself rich. He was also a voluptu-
airy and was given to feasting, sending
to foreign countries for viands that
were not produced in Gaul. even across
the channel to Britain. Gaul pleased
him especially for a place Of abode
since the soil was capable Of produc-
ing grapes from which wines could be
made to rival the rare Falernian of
Italy.
One evening when he was feasting
with a large number of guests he call
ed a slave and bid him take his cup of
wine to a man reclining at another
table and pledge him by proxy. When
the slave reached the guest he told
him that the governor honored him by
an exchange Of cups. The person thus

Red Has More Meaning and Creator
Effect Than Any Other Hue.
Red has a greater effect upon both
man and the lower animals than any
other color. 1t is. in fact, the king of
colors, according to Professor ". Pea
body Bartlett
Perhaps" says Professor Bartlett,
IF our blood were green instead of
red we would hold green as the king
OF colors. because blood is life. The
sight Of it stirs both man and the low
er animals. and for that reason the COL
or of 1t ia the most effective of all COL
ors."
Every one knows the antipathy q bull
has to red. how be will below and be-
come blindly enraged at the sight of it.
but the bull is by no means the only
animal that is affected by this color.
Put a dog In a kennel and cover the
end that opens to daylight with q
white cloth or u black cloth. and the
dog will pay little attention to it. but
cover the opening with a bright red
cloth so that the daylight comes
through to the dog in a red glow, and
the dog will at once begin to bark fu-
riously.
Put a rooster in a dark bag or a
green or yellow bag and he will remain,
quiet. but put Nm in a bag of thin red
cloth. so that the light may shine
through and show the color. and the
rooster will crow Justify. This is not
because be might think the red indi-
Gated sunrise. because ROSTERS will
crow long before the first faint tinge of
color appears in the east.
In one experiment a spider and a
wasp were placed in a glass bottle and
seemed to get along very comfortably,
with no attempt at fighting each other.
but as soon as they were put in q bot
tie of red glass they began to fight
until they had killed each other.
Hold three apples before a baby, one
green. n yellow and one a bright red,
and the child will almost invariably
pick the red apple. The color appeals
to it Red blooms in the cheek of beau
ty and touches the lips of feminine
youth. Red plays a great part in life.
and 1t may be. al Professor Bartlett
says. due to the fact that red is the
color of blood and blood is life, so it
seems from humble wasp and fish to
rooster. dog. bull. and SO on through
the list Of lower animals to man and
woman. red has more meaning and
greater effect than any other color,
making it indeed the king Of colors.-

There are undoubtedly no products

among the civilized nations. Two
things in particular must be considered

metal or mineral which exactly an
swers the requirements for a standard
of measure or weight that shall be as
nearly as possible unalterable.
1t is held that the best substance yet
produced for this purpose is an alloy
of 30 per cen platinum with 10 per
cent of iridium. This is called iridio-
platinum. and it is the substance Of
which the metric standards prepared
by the international commission Of
weights and measures are composed.

than any pure metal. it is practically

and it can be finely engraved. In fact,

they are smooth. even. sharp and &C.
