CALLED FOR MUCH ATTENTION
Users of Quill Pens Had 70 Be EN-
dowed With a Great Deal of
Patience.

We have complained OF our foun.
tain pens. but the constant mending
required by quill pens must have
proved a severe trial in the days when
no Others were available, says the
London Chronicle. Alexander | OF
Russia thought it necessary to employ
man whose sole duty consisted in
cutting pens. He was required to
have a supply OF not less than one
hundred quilts always ready.
This number was by no means ex-
cessive, for Alexander would never use
the same pen twice. Even the writ.
ing of a signature spoiled pen, in
his opinion. for subsequent use. The
quill cutter, who received a salary Of
$40 year, accompanied the car in
all his Journeys, including campaigns
against Napoleon.
Writing implements changed consid.
erably for the better during Sir Wal.
ter Gilbey's long spell of life. Though
quill pens are still in use," he remarks
in his "Recollections of Seventy
Years" Il remember the time when
one seldom saw any other kind. Steel
pens in their early days we're ex-
pensive and i'll made, and few people
used them. The paper we had 70
years ago may have been partly to
blame; it had neither the substance
nor the surface we take as matter of
course nowadays.
Il remember when envelopes came
into use, and what boon they were
considered after the old systems of
closing letters with waters or wax.
Before envelopes were invented letters
were always written with an eye to
the position of the wafer or seal, a
blank space being left to correspond
with the space where this would be
put on the outside, lest the written
portion should be torn in opening"

Ruhher Armor PLATED

If the present war has proved any
thing it has proved the inadequacy Of
the protection afforded by armor plate
covering the underwater vital parts
of ship. The armor does not extend
sufficiently far below the water line
to assure complete protection when
the vessel is rolling, and in this re-
spect suggestion put forward by a
writer in Popular Science Siftings
might be worth serious consideration.
Describing an experiment made In
1860 on the recoiling strength of rub
Der, he says that piece Of rubber
two inches thick and a foot square
was placed under a steam hammer
and a six-inch round shot was placed
OIL it. The hammer fell with tremen-
dous force and broke the shot to
pieces, the rubber remaining elastic
and unimpaired. Results from great
explosive force on rubber flooring and
buffers have shown that beyond fusing
by heat the rubber remained unin-
jured, so apparently rubber would
make a ship more shot-proof than ar
nor plate.

there the weddings. parties and balls
and fetes were held, and on the grand
occasions" the great bronze bell. four
feet in height, rang out from the
tower on the old church.
At that time Kaskaskia was stu
ated on a peninsula that stretched
south between the Mississippi and the
Okaw rivers. The town lay on a bit
of land known as Ragged island.
From French settlement the town
passed into the hands of the English
and then became the capital of the
then mighty territory of Illinois. In
turn, in 1878, it passed from the Eng
lish to the Americans. the mighty
clangor of the bell proclaiming the
joyful news.
Kaskaskia fourished There the
assembly met. and with 1t the social
life of the old French families be-
came renowned. Night after night
the Menard house blazed with. lights,
and guests danced while the Menard
slaves spread the big tables In the
banquet halls.
WaTucO OF OFSat fiood.
1t was on such a night-in the
spring Of 1s90--that the floods came
and the Mississippi broke through the
cutoff to the north and a wave of
water seeking new course for the
river bed swept over the town.
The parish priest managed to reach
the church tower and ring out a brief
warning, and then the church crumbled
and was partly swept away in the
swirling, muddy waters.
Nothing daunted the Kaskask1ans.
They moved some five miles to the
other side of the island and started
the town OF New Kaskaskia. There
the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
ton was rebuilt and there the bell,
rescued from the hungry river. was
taken.
The new Kaskaskians are renters"
from the outside. To them the great
bell is just $50 pounds of bronze, and
so it stands, cracked and corroded, in
its ill-lighted vestibule--the great

had so often gazed with mute inquiry.

1t has been known that liquid oxy-
gen mixed with. substances like cot
ton wool forms a powerful explosive,
but serious difficulties were encoun-
tered in its practical use. A new
method has now been discovered for
handling this oxygen that makes 1t
practical for commercial use.
Bags are filled with a special form
of lampblack, which are soaked In
the liquid oxygen for few minutes
just before they are required for use.
If the bag is now lighted with a
match It will burn quietly and very
slowly, but II detonated it explodes
with the force of dynamite, and the
cost is much less.
Much less carbon monoxide is given
off than by most other explosives
and there is no danger from misfire
as the oxygen will evaporate in a

Next to the Liberty Bell in Phila-

known hereabouts. is the most his
toric bell in the country. II is older
than the Liberty Bell, now on its way
to San Francisco; older by ten years!
Two years. almost to an hour, after
the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia had
proclaimed the freedom OF the thir.
teen colonies, the great bell of Old
kaskaskia rang out with the glad
tidings that a determined band of
Kentucky backwoodsmen, under the
leadership of George Rogers Clark
had captured Fort Gage. at the foot
of the bluffs a few miles to the east,
and had forced the English to haul
down their flag
