WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME
Peter Heuein Who Made the First
Watch, Accused of Witchcraft and
Thrown Into Prison.

There is in existence today letter
dated April % 1927, from Martin Lu.
Their to Father Frederick Pistorius,
the last abbot of ST Aegiduis in Nj
remberg. in which he thanks the alb
bot for the gift of watch, and adds:
II feel compelled to become a pupil
of our mathematicians in order to I'M
derstand this unique timekeeper."
Never before had he seen such an OBJ
ject.
AS he was familiar with clocks,
what he meant, evidently was that
the time indicators on the clock were
different from those on the watch
which had been given to him. If is
quite probable he had in his posses
sion the first watch made by Peter
Heulein, or at least one of his first
zones. This Peter Heulein was a black
smith and locksmith and devoted his
time to mathematics anda watchn1ak-
ing, for which he was thrown into
prison charged with witchcraft which
was then one of the easy ways of dis
posing Of rival or of a person who
did things out of the ordinary.
But Peter persevered. and the name
of Heulein and Nuremburg is preserved
BY monument in his native town.

POsToFFICE CLERK EXAMINATION
Man Who Commands Success.

A man who is not enamcred of his
job who lacks that resolute, deter
mined purpose which knows no defeat,
recognizes no failure, is never sue
cess. The man who is victory organ
lied will get up more determined than
ever after he is knocked down. The
harder the fall the greater the re-
bound. You can't keep such man
down, you can't discourage him any
more than you could have discouraged
a Napoleon, for his personality, his
character, will remain although his
home. his property. and every material
thing he possessed be swept away

"Biue Nose"

Blue Nose is popular name for a
native of Nova Scotia. Halliburton,
in "Sam Slick gives the following ac-
count of its origin: "'Pray. sir, said
one of my fellow passengers, can you
tell me why the Nova Scotians are
called Blue Noses?' 1T is the name
of potato said I, which they pro-
duce in the greatest perfection, and
boast to be the best in the world
The Americans have in consequence
given them the nickname Blue
Noses"

Fierce Apparitions.

In the West Indies a sight OF the
rolling calf presages death or ter
rible misfortunes. The negroes are
dreadfully afraid of possible encoun-
ter with it at night. 1t is white, Of
enormous size and with eyes that
blaze like hot Goals.
William Thorp. a learned student of
such manifestations, writes of a
phantom shark that haunts the waters
about Nassau, in the Bahamas, where
it is known as the ''harbor master"
1t shines with weird phosphorescent
glow even in the daytime, and though
hooked on many occasions and pulled
in. it invariably yanishes from view at
the last moment-simply melting into
nothingness.

New Bells Made Like Old.

We have often neard of the beauti-
full silver tone of very old church bells
in Europe and some have even been
bought at a great price and brought to
America. 1t was supposed that after
a bell had rung regularly for one or
two centuries some mysterious quail
ty was developed, and the beautiful
tone could be acquired in no other
way. An ingenious American studied
the problem, however, and decided
that the silver tone was simply due
TO the fact that the clapper of the
bell had worn itself and the bell by
continued striking. until the two fit
closely together and that the shape Of
the metal and nothing else determined
tie tone. He began to make bells by
casting them. so that the clapper and
the bell fit each other properly, and
the mellow silver tone was obtained at
once. Today we are manufacturing
such bells and selling them abroad

The desire OF pleasing makes man
agreeable or unwelcome to those with
whom he converses. according to the
motive from which that inclination ap
pears to flow. If your concern for
pleasing others arises from an innate
benevolence, it never fails of success !;
If from vanity to excel. its disap-
pointment is no less certain. What
is endowed with that natural bent to
do acceptable things from delight
he takes in them merely as such; and
the affectation of that character is
what constitutes fop.-Richard

Fox SQUIRRELS Nests.

In the South, instead of living in
the hollow trees, the fox squirrels build
big nests in the tops of the pine and
other trees, usually Of Spanish moss
says the American Forestry MagaZine
In these they sleep, also carrying tt
them the pine cones. In the hardwood
forests of the North, dry leaves take
the place Of the Spanish moss and a
conspicuous nest is built with an en-
trance hole at the side.
