dent Anglo-Americans who knew him.
Equally precocious in politics, Van
Buren,. was chosen a delegate to a
political convention before he was OF
age; was appointed a county surro-
gate at twenty-five; elected to the
state senate at thirty; appointed at
torney general Of the state at thirty
two and at thirty-eight he was select
ed a senator of the United States.
Already he was at the head of the
albany Regency" which continued
TO run the Democratic machine In
New York and to dominate the nation
al councils of that party for sixty
wears to come. His skill in political
manipulation made him known all over
the country as the 'Little Magician"
Playing the game of politics only
as a New Yorker can and as all New
Workers in public life do, Van Buren,
was the first to make his way into
the White House in gumshoes. Per-
haps his caution as a politician mas
lost him the credit due him for his
craftsmanship, which he displayed IN
more than one grave emergency. A
popular story reflected the general
impression Of his artful lodging.
Once while he was passenger on
Hudson river boat an anti-Van
Ruren man said to Van Buren, man:
I'll bet you the price of the pas
sage that. you can't go to him now
and get a straight answer to the
simplest question that you can ASK
The challenged man, confidently
taking the bet, went up to his favor
lite and inquired If he did not think
the weather was fine.
"well," was the careful measured
reply, "that is relative ter"
"By thunder!" the Van Buren1te
broke in, as he turned to his cnal-
lenger, you've won."
Van Buren, became the pioneer
national campaign manager when ne
made an extended electioneering tour
for Jackson. Webster declared that
no did more for the election OF "old
Hickory" than any other ~ men.
Tn that fierce Jackson campaign,
Van Buren, took the party nomination
for governor of New York. Being
elected, he resigned from the senate'
and then, after only two months IN
the governorship, he resigned again
TO he secretary of state In the new
cabinet. Thus he held within IL
weeks three of the highest prizes IN
public life and at the same time was
heir-apparent to the presidency Itself.

THE FIRST POLITICIAN
MARTIN VAN buren, was tn.

MARTIN VAN buren, was the
Az first machine made politician in
the presidency, and he was more than
mat when put to the test; he was the
nrst of the presidents to have been
born under the American flag, rather
IMAM under the British, and he and
Roosevelt are the only presidents not
wholly descended from inhabitants Of
the United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on both
sides, Van Buren, married into Dutch
family, and was able to speak the
language Of his ancestors. He was
born and he died In a little Rip Van
Wrinkle village ON the east bank of
the Hudson, where his father was a
farmer and incidentally tavern keep
er. Leaving school and entering q law
office in his native town at fourteen,
after the manner of most American
leaders from Jackson to Lincoln, he
picked up as he went along such ed
ucation as he gained. Yet not one
Of our many lawyer presidents has
won higher rank in his profession.
While only boy so small that he
had to stand on a bench to address
the jury, he scored his first success at
the bar. At forty, he retired from
practice with money enough for q man
with a Dutch thrift, which was mis-.
taken for stinginess by the less pru-

DETERMINING STAR COLOR.

A new means Of determining star
colors, devised by DR.. E. S. King, is
described in the Journal Of the Brit
ish Astronomical Association. Over
the telescope objective is placed a
piece of plate glass Commercial
glass is good enough for the pur-
pose), which is coated with a gela-
tin film, one-half Of which is stained
yellow and the other half blue. The
images of the stars are then photo
graphed out Of focus on isochromatic
plates. Each image, therefore, ap-
pears as disk, one portion of which
shows the effect of the yellow light
and the other the effect of the blue
light. The two halves of the image
are then compared by means Of a
Photographic wedge or by some other
similar means.

The q. S. Mine Sweeping Detach-
ment has just returned from its work
In the North Seas. The ever present
danger Of floating mines was counter
acted by the sharp eyesight of the
men who were behind the guns Their
fob was to pick off the mines as they
appeared and explode them by direct
hits. The lives Of the other men
aboard and the safety of the ship de-
pended on their keenness.
A large proportion OF the 55,OU
mines laid in the North Seas by the
U. S. Navy was destroyed in this way.
This is just one Of the jobs that
comes in the career Of a U. S. sailor;
one of the experiences that gives him
a grip on himself and makes him
regular fellow.

Despite all reports to the contrary,
there is one spot in Europe where

who has arrived in London to confer
with Premier Lloyd George and Earl
Curzon, head of the Foreign Office.
The Georgian diplomat attributed
the .enviable state OF affairs in his
country to the temperament of the
Georgians, their geographical location
and the political self.control of the
government.
