The HEar of Dionysius."

A cunningly constructed prison cav
ern, consisting of large chamber con-
nected with one of smaller dimensions
situated near Syracuse, Italy, has gone
into legendary history with the title
of the Ear of Dionysius.'
The smaller chamber was unknown
to the prisoners kept in this under
ground dungeon, and the tyrant by
whose name it is known had haplt
of secreting himself there to listen to
the conversation of the conyicts. whc
we're mostly political offenders.
An ingenious device constructed al
the smaller end of the larger chamber
transmitted the sounds through the
partition, thus enabling the suspicious
ruler to hear even the whispered con
yersations of his suspects

Tho Holes In the Moccasins.

In the social life of the North Amer
lean Indians many little dramatic acts
occur significant of beliefs that are
difficult for Il stranger to understand
correctly. A relative comes to the
home of an infant and presents it with
a tiny pair of moccasins with hole
cut in each sole. The Indian mother
understands the tender wish conveyed
BY the act. The baby is thus recOg-
niZed as an Omaha child, for the moe
casins anticipate the ceremony in
which the new life is proclaimed a
member of the tribe. The holes are ii

person might enter the tent, see tn"
tiny morrHsins with the holes and eX
claim. "What Il long way the little one
has Travelled" This. too, would be :;
prayer for long life to the child. If All
unseen messenger from the spirit
world should approach the infant to
bid it come with him the child would
be able to say. mo, | cant go with
YOU: look. my mOccasins are worn
out" And so the baby would not be
taken away from its mother.

Odd Numbers.

A hen is always given an odd num-

Is no reason at all except superstition.
Salutes frcm warships, forts, ETC., are
always given in odd numbers, yet no
valid reason can be adduced. 1t is a
remnant of the old "odd numbers are
lucky" superstition.

spells practiced round odd numbers
never even ones. Seven is the favorite
Biblical number and old divines taught
that it held mystical perfection. 1t
is an odd number.

The Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DR.. S. s.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer OF New
York, was experimenting with small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity If the propellers could
be directly connected to high speed
electric motors. doing away with all
the gears then in use in steam propul-
sion. With this idea in mind he mad
small screw propeller constructed ana
fastened it to the armatsre shaft OF
his small motor. To his surprise, the
experiment resulted in fine breeze OF
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter for the day was de
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propelleS
ended right there, aud the engineer
took up the study of the electric ran.
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was commerclai
success.
