WONDERFUL VACUUM.

 were impossible on account of leakage.
 The mercury pump was relied on to

this life that was full to the brim,, :, every moment of his waking hours
 Rev. E. W. Darrow referred very touchingly last Sunday to the great sense of personal loss that was felt as well as the community loss that must unavoidably be felt Energetic, painstaking, no details too small to engage his interest, it would be remarkable if results did not meet his plans and expectations. One of his axioms, often used, and always lived up to was, Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.' This idea was followed in all his activities, whether in the constr uction of building or the conduct of business, from the foundation up, it must be built with a view to permanency, That he had accumulated fortune was the almost inevitable result of the we'll directed energy that oharac- terized his every action, and the viii lage of South Wilmington in its indus try that seemingly halts for none of the panics that effect many places, and the buildings, including the magnificent Clara Hall Elliott Mem orial church, will long bear mute testimony to his un1agging energy and his faithful attention to details. The funeral services will be held to- day "Wednesday at his late home at 1 o'clock (private) and at Memorial church at 2. 80 o'clock. Tine burial will be in the Wilmington cemetery, temporarily. A mausoleum is soon to be built in which the body will rest later. The honorary bearers are Edwin 0. Pinney of Stafford, William C.. James of Providence, R. l., E. E
 Perrine of New York city, Gen. E S. Boss of Willimantic, Charles Hubbard and John Porleous of Nor. wich, William B. Plunkett and Charles T. Plunkett of Adams, Mass. !.

Origin and cheekesel Career of the
 French Academy.
 The Institute of France had it's in- ceptfon in 157O. when there was found ed in Paris by the French poet. An toine de Baif. literary and musical society. known as the Academy of the Valois Carries TX. granted it" letters patent on Nov. 20, 15IO, as the Acade- my of I>o5try and Music. It had, how ever, TO stability. Attacked upon every occ;tsiOr-- astnd criticised by It's oppo- pents, it's members ceased to meet aft .er 15S4 Almost half a century passed before, a revival took place.
 For some time. since, the year 1929, d small circle of enthusiastic students was wont t2 meet at each others homes for the study of French language and literature From year to year its mem hership increa sed. and in 1884 Cardinal Riche!ieu proposed to the society to have their private status changed into ;l public institution. with many rights and privileges. Upon agreement by the So"iety it was henceforth, known as the French Academy, with charter from Louis XIII. of January, 1885 It consisted then of forty members. the ''forty immortals." and at no time and under no pressure whatsoever has this number been increased.
 True 1t is. also. that here royal pre- rogative and personal intrigue often added an inferior member while the far superior remained excluded, for whom popular indignation created the world known ''forty-frst seat" For century and half the academy held stated meetings until Aug. 5. 1793.- ArgOnaut. =. .,>&=..
