Ancient Oath Found.

The Bucks County Pa.) Historical
society has come into the possession
of a well preserved manuscript copy
of an oath of allegiance and renuncia-
ton taken by aliens in this country
about 1870. The allegiance is sworn
to George III, acclaimed as ruler of
Great Britain.
The oath was administered about
the time that many Germans and
Swiss were emigrating to this country
and an act was adopted in 1927 set
ting forth that all aliens must take
oath of allegiance to King George.
The oath was administered to all
males over sixteen years as soon after
their arrival In this country as pos
Sible.
The manuscript which the histori-
cal society has is that of the oath
taken by George Kinkner Of South

SCULPTOR FOUND in ERROR
stonemason Had to Be Called In to
Shave the Bust of John How
ard Payne.

The man who never had a home"
meaning John Howard Payne, of
course-also never had beard.
When the author of Home Sweet
Home had died in Tunis and his body
was being brought back at the ex-
pense of W. W. Corcoran the news
papers broke out all over in beau
tiful something about ''the man who
never had home and was coming
home at last And when Mr.. Cor
coran had erected monument at the
poets grave in Oak Hill, about all
Washington attended the dedication
ceremonies, either as privileged spec
tators inside the cemetery or just
plain people packed against the rail-
ings on the street side-which. gen
orally speaking, folks, is a good place
to be, so far as graveyards are con-
cerned-but, anyhow:
The bust of Payne that topped the
marble shaft showed a dreamy face
bearded like unto the gentleman of
western literature usually mentioned
as "pard" And everybody said
what a manly man he must have been,
but-you know how things get around
after the impressive ceremonies
We're over-say about two weeks-the
too"",.s become aware that the late Mr..
Payne never wore beard.
And the next thing that happened :
he was shaved by stonemason.-

Av,a1.on end the Compass.

Many aviators firmly believe that
there are magnetic currents or dis
turbances in the upper air which
affect the compass and make it go
crazy Long experiments and care
full investigation, however, seem to
prove conclusively that it is not the
compass. but the plane which moves
distrnctedly, in the first place. and
that the apparent insanity OF the com
pass is due to these movements and
the vertical magnetic component of the
governing force The maddeSt of
compasses, the most contradictory
and insane of cards. will steady
down to quiet behavior once the
plane is on straight, level course for
a period of time greater Than the pc
riod of the compass.

How Needles Are Made.

1t was not until after 1850 that
needles were entirely made and finish
ed by machinery. The present-day
process of making needles may be
described as follows: The first opera
tion is to cut the needle Wire into
eight-foot lengths; this is done by
winding it into coil of sixteen feet
circumference and then cutting this
coil into exact halves with powerful
cutting shears. The coiling of the wire
is so managed that there are 100
pieces in each half when cut.
