NOT APPRECIATED AT FIRST
Fitzgerald's Translation of "Omar khayyam" Once Sold at the Ridic-
 ulous Price of Two Gents.

How Edward Fitzgerald's Omar Khayyam" was rescued from neglect and obscurity, a London contemporary tells. MT. Bernard Quaritch, the elder published the book and finding that it did not sell, he relegated 1t to the penny box in his shop. Its subsequent success was due to a fortunate acci- dent Two of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's friends came across the poem. and thought it worth reading. Rossetti's read it, and recommended it to Swim burne.
 Having read it." Swinburne wrote, 'Rossetti and l invested siXpence apiece, or possibly threepence-l would not wish to exaggerate our extrava- gance-in copies at that not exor- bitant price.
 Next day, we thought we might get some more for presents among friends, but the man at the stall asked two pence, Rosetti expostulated with him in terms of such humorously indignant remonstrance as none but he could ever command We took a few, and left him. In a week or two, if I am not much mistaken, the remaining copies were sold at a guinea. l have since seen copies offered at still more ab- surd prices. l kept my pennyworth- the tidiest of the lot-and have it still. ]."-Youths Companion.

COULDN'T MAKE THE TOUCH
One Dsappointmen But He Was Not Looking for Another.

The young man had borrowed five dollars from the rich old man, prom ising to bring 1t back one week from date. The millionaire let him have it, and at the promised time the bor- rower brought 1t back.
 Now, MT. Bullion" said the young man, I've been square with you in this matter, and l want to borrow $50 for fortnight"
 The old man shook his head.
 Sorry" he said, but I cant let you have it."
 Why not?" and the young man was greatly astonished
 Because you have disappointed me, and l don't want to be disappointed again"
 The borrower was more surprised than ever.
 What do you mean by being disap- pointed?" he asked.
 This" explained the moneyed man T let you have that five dollars, not expecting ever to get it again, and did. Now, if I let you have $50 l should expect to get it again, and l never would No, sir he added, con clusively, one disappointment is enough. Good day!" And that ended 1t.

Mayor Hunt of Cincinnati said the other day of a notorious political boss:
 They who call this fellow honest have to stretch the truth little. They have to stretch it like the old colored farmer of Paint Rock
 This old farmer said to a young chap:

ONE TRIUMPH FOR AMERICA
Invention by OrviIle Wright Notable Addition to Devices for the
 Safety of Avlators.

Despite the relatively poor showing made during 1913 by American avia- tors in comparison with the achieve ments of the aviators of foreign coun- tries, an American, Orville Wright, has been awarded the Collier prize for the most valuable advance in the science of aviation during that year. This award was the result of MT. Wright's invention of an automatic stabilizing device. No definite design for this apparatus has yet been de- cided upon by MT. Wright, but with experimental applications of his prin- ciple he has made several remarkabl flights, with and without passengers. Mir Wright thus describes his inven- tion:
 The stabiliZer consists of two parts one controlled by a pendulum for maintaining the lateral balance; the other controlled by vane for fore and-aft balance. The power for warp ing the wings and turning the elevator Is furnished by small windmill at tached to the aeroplane, so that the stopping of the motor does not affect the operation of the device"
 In his experimental flights Mir. Wright says that he kept his hands off the control and steering mechanism for minutes at a time.

Will Power of Scotch-Irish.

The outstanding trait of the Scotch Irish was will. No other element was so masterful and contentious. In a petition directed against their immi- grafton, the Quakers characterized them as 'pernicious and pugnacious people" who absolutely want to con- trol the province themselves" The stubbornness of their character Is probably responsible for the unex- ampled losses in the battles of our Civil war. They fought the Indians, fought the British with great unan- imity in two wars, and were in the front rank iD the conquest of the West More than any other stock has this tough, gritty breed, so lack ing in poetry and sensibility, molded our national character, If today & losing college crew rows so hard that they have to be lifted from their shells at the end of the boat race, it is because the never-say-die Scotch Irish fighters and pioneers have been the picturesque and glowing figures in the imagination of American youth-From Origins of the Amer ican People" by Prof Edward A. Ross in Century.

kept Alive bv Electricity,

The attention of surgeons at the General hospital, Birmingham, Eng land. has been occupied by the most remarkable case of lad eleven years of age. He was admitted to the insti- tuition suffering from tumor on the brain. the removal of which necessi- tated a most serious operation.
 While the surgeons were at work the patient stopped breathing and arti- ficial respiration was resorted to. Dur ing the course of the operation large portion of the skull was removed, and when the pressure from the brain was frightened the lad began to breathe again. An electric battery was ap- piled to the chest, and the muscles be- ing thus affected the breathing motion produced proved sufficient to keep the lad alive.

rupt public officials into prison be- cause they give publicity to their cor rupt acts and the people then rise and apply the remedy.
 You have heard much of corrupt newspapers, but if you will analyze it you will see that it is most difficult for a newspaper to be corrupt be- cause it performs always in the lime light As I have said in other talks on journalism, there are about as many corrupt newspapers as there are corrupt ministers, and there are very few corrupt ministers. A wise man will not put his money into corrupt newspaper, for corrupt news papers do not last. Honesty is the best policy, in the newspaper busi- ness, just as it is in other businesses. The average man bred in the newspa- per business has too much respect for his profession to be a part of the or ganization of corrupt newspaper"

haps have indulged in such criticism. There is some ground for the criti- cism, but not so much as you have been led to believe may be. The aver age daily newspaper runs from IA to 20 pages, with Sunday editions aver aging from 50 to 80 pages. The aver age daily paper contains almost, if not quite. as many words as the aver age novel. The novelist works months and often years on his book, and then turns it over to the publishers who put in months in the issuing of it..

In the United States performing anil mals run risks. Some years ago a chimpanzee visited South Bend, Ind. Among other tricks he smoked a cigarette. As soon as he lit up a policeman stepped forward and asked for the animals name, in order that a summons might be issued against him for infringing a law of the Indiana legislature prohibiting cigarette smok- ing. In court the following day 1t was pleaded that the chimpanzee could hardly be expected to know the extent of his guilt but the magistrate ruled that ignorance was no excuse for law breaking. and fined the defendant the sum of S, which was paid by his trainer

NEED NOT FEAR FOR CANAL
terway Through Panama Will Be Made ImpreenabIe.

Having invested nearly 75,000,000 in the canal, the United States is in- tent upon safeguarding that tremen. dous outlay against the possibility of damage through foreign war. Fortifi- cation of the canal has been under taken purely as an insurance matter. It is sought to make it impossible iii time of war for any enemy to take possession of the waterway or to dam age it to such an extent that the ships of the United States could not use it at will
 Guns of II and 16-inch caliher will be placed at forts guarding both the Pacific and Atlantic entrances, com manding radius of 15 miles. The forts at the Pacific entrance are con structed on three islands in Panama Bay, at the very beginning of the canal, Flamenco, Perico and Naos. There are huge masses of volcanic rock, behind which safe from the fire of any ship, no matter how pow erful. the forts stand. The great Miraflores locks are seven miles in- land from the forts, and no gun at the present time is powerful enough to send a shell the 22 miles intervening between the outside of the zone of fire from the forts, and those locks which control the canal. Even with the marvels of modern gunnery. it would be as difficult to place a shell, even if if cOuld ha thrown that far as for a rifleman to hit a lead pencil at a distance of 2,000 yards.-Popular Mechanics.

of the franchise to men without the
