began to see how foolish and silly he

anger. AS he remembered the deep,

at all. Mr.. Toad sulped and went on.
Pretty soon he met Jimmy Skunk. Jimmy
actually stepped right over Old Mr.. Toad
as II he had been a stick or stone. Old
Mr. Toad gulped and went on. The
next day he went down to see Danny
Meadow Mouse. He meant to tell Danny
how ashamed he was for the way he had
treated Danny and his other friends.
But Danny brushed right past without
even glance at him. Old Mr.. Toad
gulped and started up to see Johnny
Chuck. The same thing happened again.
At last Old Mr.. Toad gave up and
went home. where he sat under a big
mullen leaf the rest of the day, feeling
very miserable and lonely. He didn t
have appetite enough to snap at a

little noise and looked up to find
all his old friends and neigh bors forming
a circle around him. Suddenly they
began to dance and shout

The Mnat Accurate Maohina.

The worlds most precise piece of machinery is doubtless the Rowland dividing engine, owned and operated by Johns Hopkins university, Balti. more. This machine, the invention of Professor Henry A. Rowland, long tho head of the physics department in that institution, was devised by him to rule diffraction gratings on glass or metal for use in the most delicate kind of spectroscopic work in the place of the glass prisms that are commonly used to form the spectrum by splitting up white light into its component colors. These gratings consist of five parallel lines so close together that they can be separated only by microscope of the highest power Accuracy is meas ured nowadays by the limit of error. The Rowland gratings are not perfect because perfection is impossible, but their limit of error is one-millionth of an inch, which makes the engine that is able to draw them the record hold CT for accuracy Literary Digest.

cbarneI IsIands custon..

The Channel islands where there is still in every day use patois almost identical with the Norman French spo- ken by William the Conqueror-are the home of other quaint antiquarian rel ics. A local politician whose election as jurat had been annulled by the royal court of the island on the ground of his having been sentenced to n term of imprisonment some years ago knelt bareheaded at the entrance to the courthouse and exclaimed, "Haro, Haro, Haro, l'aide. mon prince, on me fait tort" The effect of this ap- peal, technically called the "clameur de Haro," is to stay proceedings until the petitioners case has been heard. In modern times the cry has most ire quently been raised to interrupt build ing operations on land to which the title is disputed-much to the annoy ance of unsuspecting strangers who have settled in the islands without be- ing aware of this curious tradition Popular etymology explains "Haro" as an abbreviation of "Ha, Rollow thus making the cry d direct appeal to the first Duke of Normandy.

Corset Ancient Arnor.

A French historian of women's dress states that the corset was worn by the ancient Egyptians. This assertion is borne out by the figures carved on the tombs of women. who are invari- ably represented as wearing garment strongly resembling the modern cor set. There does not appear to be any representation eXtant of Cleopatra VI. the beloved of Antony. but in one of the temples there is figure of her predecessor, Cleopatra H., in which the sculptor has endowed her with a corset cut on the lines of those worn today. Whalebone was probably un known to the Egyptians, but a nation capable of constructing pyramids with out steam cranes would probably find no difficulty in making stays without busks.-London Standard.
