MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR
Neat Explanation Of Witness Turned
Laugh on Famous English
Cross-Examiner.

At trial between two London mu
sic publishers before the court OF
kings bench in 1918, the matter in
dispute being a violation of the copy
right in the song of ''The Old English
Gentleman Thomas Cooke, com.
poser of some note in his day, was
subpoenaed as an expert witness.
On cross-examination Sir James
Scarlet questioned him as follows:
Now, sir, you say that the two
melodies are the same, but different.
What do you mean by that?"
Tom promptly answered:
Il said that the notes in. the two
copies were alike, but with different
accents, the one being in common
time, the other In six-eighths time,
and consequently the position Of the
accented notes was different"
Now, pray, sir. don't beat about
the bush, but explain to the jury, who
are supposed to know nothing about
music, the meaning of what you call
accent"
Certainly" said Cooke. Accent in
music is the stress laid upon par
ticular note in the same manner as
you would lay stress upon word, for
the purpose Of being understood.
Thus if l were to say, You are an
ASS it rests on ass; but if l were to
say, YOU are an ass it rests on you,
Sir James"
Shouts of laughter followed this ex-
PLANTATION. Silence at length having
been obtained, the judge. with much
gravity, inquired:
Are you satisfied, Sir James,"
Sir James, who had become scarlet
in more than name, in great huff re-
piled:
The witness may stand down"

ONE TRIUMPH FOR AMERICA
Invention by orviIle Wright Notable
Addition to Devices for the
Safety Of Aviators.

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 Mr..
Wright's invention Of an automatic
stabilizing device. No definite design
for this apparatus has yet been de-
cided upon by Mr.. Wright, but with
experimental applications of his prin-
ciple he has made several remarkable
flights, with and without passengers.
Mr.. Wright thus describes his inven-
ton:
THE stabilizer consists of two parts
one controlled by a pendulum for
maintaining the lateral balance; the
other controlled by a 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 Mr.
Wright says that he kept his hands off
the control and steering mechanism
for minutes at a time.

viii 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-
troll 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-
unity in two wars. and were In the
front rank In the conquest Of the
West. More than any other stock
has this tough, gritty breed. SO lack
ing in poetry and sensibility, nodded
our national character. If today a
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
lean People," by Prof Edward A. Ross
in Century.

Pussy Had No Chance Against the
Numbers and Ferocity of Her
Attackers.

FuZzy-Wu. a small parti-colored jap
anese cat, which had been presented
recently by friend returning from
the Orient to Ralph Marion, owner of
a farm in the Christian Hook section
of Oceanside, l.. l., wandered short
distance from the farmhouse and was
stalking sparrows when a flock of
hungry crows descended on it.
The leader Of the crows swooped
like hawk on the cat, attacking with
claws, wings and beak. Fuzzy-Wu
tried to run away, but crows swarmed
in from all directions. From his
house Marion saw the huge black
birds tapping their wings a few feet
above the ground and then darting
awkwardly downward. When he ap-
preached them the flock took flight,
cawing angrily and leaving on the
ground the remains of Japanese cat.
Hunger, increased by the present
cold spell, is believed to have been
the motive Of the crows, which nor
mally are content with worms, insects
and grains.

COULDN'T MAKE THE TOUCH

Ono Disappointment, But He Was
Not Looking for Another.

The young man had borrowed five

The old man shook his head.
Sorry" he said, but l can't let

why not?" and the young man was
greatly astonished.
Because you have disappointed me,
and I 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.
Il let you have that five dollars, not
expecting ever to get it again, and /
did. Now, if I let you have $50

clusively. "one disappointment is
enough. Good day." And that ended
it.

Kent Alive by 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-
fetal 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
lightened 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.

WAN Of Spirit.

Few persons ever stop to consider.
says the Journal of the American Med.
ical Association, that when they
speak of "a man of spirit" they are
really, however unwittingly, employ.
ing the language of the days of Claud-
Jus Galen, noted Roman physician,
born A. D. 1870 That the term Is yet
used is testimony that the old doc
trine Of spirits is not obsolete. Galen
perhaps had conception of nerve
trunks as conductors Of something
he called it spirits-to and from the
brain and spinal cord The natural
spirits were that property which gave
to blood the capacity of nourishing
the tissues Of the body. The vital
spirits were acquired in the heart;
and when at last the blood with its
vital spirits went to the brain and
experienced a sort of refinement for
the last time, the animal spirits were
separated from it and carried to the
body by the nerve trunks The animal
spirits of Galen have become the
nerve impulses Of today. These are
not electricity, but they produce it.

Resettlna a Shoulder.

A dislocated shoulder may y re-
placed with scarcely any pain W the
following procedure, according to DR..
Julius Caesar of Leicester, England:
Divest the patient of his coat and
waistcoat. Place him on the ground in
a sitting posture. Grasp the wrist OF
the dislocated arm and have q third
person grasp the wrist of the other
arm. Raise both arms simultaneously
over the head. taking care to keep
them parallel. and extending them up
ward till the patient Is just raised
from the ground. At this point click
is heard and felt. This Is the sound Of
the arm bone going back into its
socket
There are some dislocated shoulders
that cannot be reduced this way. but
they are the rare exceptions
