Audiences With Sovereiqns,

The right of subjects laboring under
a grievance to claim personal audi.
ence with their sovereign is fully rec
ognized in far less democratic coun-
try than ours. Ever since his acces.
sion the Emperor Francis Joseph was
accustomed to set apart one day
week on which he personally received
petitions. Although care was taken to
exclude those seeking to gain admis-
sion on purely frivolous pretexts, there
was but little formality on those days.
Persons of all lasses-ranging from
a peasant wronged by his landlord to
a highly placed official who had been
unJustly passed over for promotion
might be seen standing together in the
audience chamber, and to each and all
the emperor endeavored to do Justice.

What is the repeal act? Give me
few facts concerning it.
A law of congress passed in 1912 reg
ulating Panama canal toll rates pro,
vided that mo tolls shall be levied
upon vessels engaged in the coastwiSe
trade of the United States" The Brit
ish government protested that such eX
emption was in violation of treaties
between the United States and Great
/ Britain, The repeal act repealed that
provision of the canal tolls law which
exempted American coastwise ships
from the payment of tolls.
Please explain what is meant by
stock dividend.
1t is when, instead of declaring and
paying a dividend in cash, the profits

foreign governments, and this number
may be increased up to a hundred.

And peers into the storm.
Above the smoke of battle
She marks the vultures swarm.
No loved one hears her pleading
And to her succor flies.
Besides where she stands weeping
A baby starves and dies.

From ways that lead to slaughter
Back to the paths of peacel

And bid this warning ceasel

Please state the meaning OF ex dIVi'
dend as used after stock quotation
in the financial column of newspaper.
1t means the sale of Il stock with the
agreement that the dividend about to

that the buyer of stock is not entitled
to the next dividend paid.
What is the principle of the adding
machine and how long has il been in
vented?
The adding machine is of modern de-
veopment. but not modern inven-
ton, a passable one having been in
vented in 1912 by Pascal Q623-1G62), d
celebrated French geometrician, philos-
opher and writer. Later, in 1911, the
adding machine was modified to facili-
tate multiplication by Gottfried Will
helm Leibnitz, German mathemati-
clan of great achievement, and his in
vention was followed by many i'm
provements.
A notable experimenter in this line
was Charles Babbage Q792-1S7D, an
English mathematician, many years
professor of mathematics at Cambridge
university. In order to secure accu-
racy in tables of logarithms he con-
ceived Che idea of doing the work by
machinery and was commissioned by
the British government to superintend
the construction Of machine for the
purpose. He spent much time and
money in experimenting and attained
some remarkable results, but died be-
fore perfecting his machine.
All calculating machines contain GER
tain features devised by special refer
. ence to the work to be done, including
circular metallic disks. wheels with
teeth, etc. ingenious. but not more
complicated and no more responsive to
human intelligence than many other
machines. The thinking is all done by
the operator.
