A Painters Troubles.

The desire of the Bank Of England
officials to discover forgers has some
times led to curious mistakes. On one
occasion the painter, George Morland.
In his eagerness to avoid his duns,
retired to an obscure hiding place in
Hackney, where his anxious looks and
secluded manner Of life induced some
Of his neighbors to believe him a for
ger Of notes then in existence. The
directors, on being Informed, dispatch
ed some dexterous detectives to the
residence, but Morland's suspicious
were aroused by their movements In
front Of the house and, thinking them
bailiffs, escaped from the back to Lon
don. Mrs. Morland informed the Wis
itors of her husbands name and show
ed them some unfinished pictures. The
facts were reported to the directors,
who presented Morland with two TWEEN
ty-pound notes by way of compensa-

The Maxine of a Word,

Few new words can have been
brought into the world with so much
Formally as telegram" which, like
many other words, was coined in Amer
lea. On April 81, 1852, the Daily Amer
lean Telegraph published an editorial
note: Telegraph means to write from
a distance; telegram, the writing itself
executed from a distance; monogram,
logogram, ETC.. are words formed upon
the same analogy and I'm good accepta-
ton. Hence telegram is the appro-
pirate heading Of a telegraphic dis
patch. Well, We'll go itp When the
word crossed the Atlantic and the
Times displaced the heading "News by
Electric Telegraph" for kilograms"
a heated discussion arose as to its ad-
instability. This reached such a pitch
that pamphlet was published entitled
'The Telegraph and Telephone Con-
troversy."-London Mirror.

Puzzle of the aret;e-r.rn-


Ornithologists have finally awarded
first place as migrator to the arctic
tern. Recent investigations have proved
beyond all question that this bird Of
mystery makes a flight every year to-
falling $1,000 miles. 1t is on the wing
literally twenty weeks out OF the fifty
two, with daily average fight of ap-
proximately $50 miles. When it fs
winter in the northern hemisphere the
tern is feeding at the edge of the ant
arctic circle, far south of Cape Horn.
When spring banishes winter it re-
turns to the arctic, 1000 miles away
from its winter quarters, to build its
nest in the arctic regions. Almost
with mathematical precision the tern
arrives In the north every year on
June Is and on Aug. % begins its long
southern flight. Curiously enough, re-
ports Of the birds seen en- route are
exceedingly rare. One or two have
been seen in the last three or four
years along the Long Island shore, but
beyond this clew to the course they
pursue nothing at all is known Of the
route they follow.-Philadelphi Rec

The Jellyfsh,

The bay of Naples abounds in me
dusae, or jellyfish, often growing as
large as two feet in diameter and
weighing fifty and sixty pounds. Some
of them shine at night with a green
ish light and are known as noctiluca
might lanterns) by the natives. The
jellyfish sometimes make migrations
in great groups, sometimes SO large
and so thick as to impede the naviga-
ton Of vessels, like the floating plants
in the Sargasso sea Of the tropics.
These shoals of medusae, as they are
called, may be so dense that q piece
of timber plunged in among them will
be held upright as If stuck in the
mud, and ordinary rowboats cannot
force their way through them. Their
migrations have never been explained
They are irregular and occur at no
particular season of the year and un-
der no particular influences.

Echo of Sound,


An echo is a sound reflected from a
distant surface. Sound is produced by
waves or pulses of the air, and when
those waves come in contact with q
cliff or wall or other opposing surface
they are reflected like light or heat,
and the returning waves cause a repe-
tition Of the sound. The word echo Is
Of Greek origin. According to ancient
mythology, it was the name of a noun
tain nymph, daughter Of the air and
the earth. Echo was one of Juno's at
tendants, but her loquacity displeased
Jupiter, so she was deprived of the
power of speech by Juno and permitted
to answer only when she was spoken
to. Afterward Echo fell in love with
a beautiful youth named Narcissus and
was changed into a stone, which still
retained the power of voice. Milton
personifies her thus:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph. that liv'st
unseen
Within thy airy shell,
By slow Meander's margent green,
Canst thou not tell me of a gentle pair
That ikest thy Narcissus are?

How to Stay a Grudqe.

Il forgave you once, and l won't for
give you again" This Is what we
heard one brother say to another who
had unwittingly broken his chisel for
the second time. He would not listen
to an explanation. You shall not use
another of my TOOLS" he continued.
The next day he wanted to borrow a
book from that brother. But before
he asked for 1t he remembered he had
said he would not lend his tools any
more. He said to himself: We'll. l
don't care if | did. He owes me
something for breaking the tool, so l
will just ask for the book" And he
did. Certainly you can have it and
keep 1t as long as you want it" replied
the brother without one bit of grudge
In his heart. The effect was good, for
the very next day he asked his brother
to go with him into the tool room. and
there he said. You can use any of
them If you wish. only please be care
full not to break them" The grudge
had disappeared.-Christian Herald.

The Arch,

The consensus of opinion among the
learned is to the effect that the arch
was invented by the Romans. Some
claim that Archimedes of Sicily was
the inventor. while there are others
who would make it to be of Etrurian
origin, but there can be no doubt about
the fact that the Romans were the first
to apply the principle to architecture
The earliest instance of its use is In the
case of the ClOaca Maxima, or greatest
sewer. of Rome. built about 5SS B. c.
by the first of the Tarquin line of kings.

torians as being one of the most stu
