SHOWED EilMiTY I'M BOYHOOD
Encounter Between Youthful Cron,.
we'll and King Charles | Might
Be Called Prophetic.


Cromwell and Charles / of England
first met when they were children at
HlnchinbrUok house, the home of u
mutual friend OF both the king and
divers father. The boys were told
to play together while their elders
talked over affairs of state and fash
ion. They got along well enough for.
a while, and then a dispute arose.
The young king was not used to OPP
position to his princey will, and when
Oliver stoutly cluug to his rights the
king struck him.
Oliver cared not bit that the blow
was aimed by a kings hand. He
swung his somewhot grimy fist as hard
as he could, and caught Charles on
the nose with the to-be-expected re-
suit. Blood flowed in quantities, and
the young prince set up great howl.
Servants came running, and all might
have gone i'll with the careless COM
money had not Charles father taken
band and declared that the blow
was to be forgiven, as it was given
IN defense of a right, and his son must
learn to know that right was greater
than kings.

The Right Way to Read.

The only way to read with any

dinner time comes two hours before

Livy before you and hear the geese
cackling that save the capital, and to
see with your own eyes the Carthagin-
ian suffers gathering up the rings of
the Roman knights after the battle OF
Cannae and heaping them into
bushels; and to be so intimately pres
ent at the actions you are reading Of
that when anyone knocks at the door

TO determine whether you are In your

A practical ration for good egg pro-

follows: Make up a grain ration Of Is

Mix up 5 pounds of bran, 5 pounds of
smiddlings and 8 pounds of tankage.
The birds should eat the 13 pounds Of
mash while consuming the 25 pounds

st. Marks Church. New York

The site Of ST. Marks church is the
Oldest church site inSaNew York and
has been consecrated to religious serv-
ice for 260 years. Peter Stuyyesant,
the Dutch governor Of New Neither
lands, erected the first little private
chapel in 1860 He and his wife, Ju-
dith, were buried underneath the chap
ell. In her will she left the church to
the Dutch Reformed Church Of New
York, providing that the tomb be pre-
served. The building was allowed to-
fall into decay until 1893, when Petrus
Stuyvesant, great-grandson, proposed
to the vestry Of Trinity church that
an Episcopal church be erected on the
site, the cornerstone vi which was laid
in 1895 and the church completed May
o, 1909. The steeple was added In
1929 and the porch few years later.
Since 1859 no material changes in the
present appearance of the church have
been made, and the church proper is
identically the same as it was one
hundred years ago. Peter Stuyvesant
and his wife are buried in the vault
beneath the porch Of the church.

SURVEY WORLD BY WIRELESS
Scheme to Be Tested in Determining
the Boundary Between South and
West Australia.

It Is proposed to utilize wireless
telegraphy in determining the exact
position of the boundary between
South and West Australia. The bound
airy is fixed by act of parliament as
the 10th degree of longitude east
Of Greenwich. The exact position Of
the longitude will be ascertained by
the use of time signals from high
power wireless station situated at
some point between Greenwich observa-
tory, in England, and Sydney, in Aus
tralia, the signals being received ST.
multaneously at both stations.
Most of the great observatores Of
the world are now collaborating in a
REORGANIZATION Of the longitudinal
division of the earths surface by
means Of wireless time signals, and
this is one of the earliest uses of the
system to settle disputed position.
Given favorable static conditions, it
has been found that signals from the
Lyons wireless station, in France, can
iSbes received I'M Australia as we'll as at
Greenwich, and signals from other sta
tons, more favorably situated, are also
! being tested. The cooperation Of the
United States as well as the. British
government has been invited. The
scheme is the first step toward a COM
prehensive determination of the whole
longitudinal survey of Australia.
