WONDERFUL FEAT OF NELSON
How q Writer Got Things Mixed on
Incident In Life OF Great
Admiral.

II is, of course, necessary that writ
ers of historical "reminiscences be mas
tiers of a certain amount Of accurate
information about their heroes II they
are to avoid mistakes. There Is an
amusing instance Of how one writer,
lacking such information, got things
mixed with reference to an incident In
the life of the great Nelson.
Not so long ago reviewer In a Lon
don paper, criticizing a book on Mel
son, related on his own account the
following episode Of the eminent Brit
ish naval commander:
"While in chase Of villeneuve's
French fleet he was informed Of the
enemy heaving In sight, at which In
formation Nelson evinced the highest
satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his
hands,"
whereup0n some one Immediately
pointed out that this incident had oc-
Cured In 1905. and that Nelson had
lost his right arm In the attack on
Santa Cruz, Teneriffe. In 1797-eight
years prior to his pursuit Of Vile
neuve's fleet.

FIRST STARTED PUNCTUATION
Venetian Printers Were the First to
Develop Rational and comprs-
hensive System.

The first to develop a rational and
comprehensive system Of punctuation
were the famous Venetian printers.
Aldus Manutius, his son, Paulus, and
the latter's son, Aldus, Jr. Aldus Ma
nutius, also known as Teobaldo Ma
nucci and Aluo Manuzio. was not only
the founder of the famous Aldine
Press and one of the greatest scholars
Of his time. but he was the father Of
punctuation In modern times.
Arlstophanes. the ancient gramma-
rian, invented a system Of punctuation,
but II was wholly lost during the Dark
Ages, and no attempt was made to re-
vive 1t until the reign Of Charlemagne.
Under the latter's direction. Warnes-
fried and Alouin formulated a punctu-
alton system, but there were few rules
governing the use of their signs. and
they were practically worthless. Al
dus Manutius and his successors Of
the Aldine Press increased the num-
Der Of punctuation marks and estab-
lished fixed rules for their use. Later
grammarians have introduced some
improvements. and the rules Of punctu-
alton have been changed somewhat
and new ones added, but the punctua-
ton system Of the Manutius formed
the foundation for that now In use.

woodshed. To be sure. II stung and
bruised their hands. What matterf At
any rate. they continued endangering
their lives and beauties by reckless
pitching Of the ungainly plaything.
One Friday evening after school
they were amusing themselves on the
parsonage lawn with this huge ball.
When their father turned In, they ran
up to him with a sporting proposition.
"Bet you a nickel, papa" cried
Carol, shat you can't throw this ball
as far as the schOolhouse woodshed -
BY the way, will you lend me a nickel,
papaf"
He took the ball and weighed 1t light
ly In his hand. I'm an anti-betting
society" he declared, laughing, but l
very strongly believe II will carry to
the schoolhouse woodshed. II II does
not, I'll give you five cents worth of
candy tomorrow. And II It does, you
shall put an extra nickel In the collec-
ton next Sunday"
Then he drew back his arm and care
fully sighted across the lawn. "rll
send It right between the corner of the
house and that little cedar" he said,
and then. bending low. 1t whizzed from
his hand.
Lark screamed. and Carol sank faint
ing to the ground. For an instant Mr..
Starr himself stood swaying. Then he
rushed across the lawn. For Prudence
had opened the front door and stepped
quickly out on the walk by the corner
Of the house. The heavy ball struck
her on the forehead and she fell heav-
lily, without a moan.

to cut out a cavity with q gOuge. The
