REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
Idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Born
In the Brain OF Fourteen
Year-Old Runaway.

The revolver that until the invention
deadly small arm known to man, was
born Of the brain Of a fourteeR-year-
Did boy, Samuel Colt. Colt ran away
from school and shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had good deal OF idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and long period of calm
weather followed its movements. He
began to seek an outlet for his active
imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things to aid sailing,
but without any great success. He
then took to planning a pistol that
would shoot several times with a
single load. He had only bits of wood
and jack knife to work with, but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out model for a revolver very SINH.
lar to the pattern still in use.
Once at home again, he went to
work In his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still in his head, and
he worked at 1t from time to time I'm.
I'll he was twenty-One. At this point
his experiments had so far advanced
that he asked for and obtained patents
In America and European countries
A stock company was organized, and
from this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun, and the re.
volver put ON a market that soon car
ried 1t around the world.

SCIENTISTS HOLD TWO VIEWS
Are Not In Accord in Their ExpIana,
ton of Origin Of the Planetary
System.

Scientists explain the origin of our
planetary system in two ways. One
of these Is the familiar nebular nv
pothesis Of Lapace. The other is the
planetesmal theory of Professor Moul
ton, which is probably the most cor
rect one. According to this theory
our planetary system was originally
vast spiral nebulae. The planets
were formed by accretions of matter
In the spirals of the nebuIae. Our
earth and its satellite, the moon, were
formed in this way. The moon being
a smaller accretion of matter, was
naturally attracted by the earth, which
was possessed of enough gravitation
to hold the moon. The moon there
fore Is not child of the earth, but
speaking in everyday parlance, we
might call 1t an adopted child. This
theory explains great deal that the
nebular hypothesis does not. There
are vast numbers of such spiral neb-
ulae In the heavens, indicating that
this is natures accepted way of Gre
ating new worlds, and it is for these
reasons that accept this view of the
formation of the earth and the moon.

WORLD ALMOST LOST GENIUS
Handel, Immortal Composer, Had Re
markable Escape From Death In
Duel in Early Life.

1he great composer Handel was
ootae at Halle, February "a, 1884, and
at the outset Of his professional life,
which was about his twentieth year,
he was nearly lost to the world by
a quarrel with one Matthewson, al
able musician, who violently assault
ed him. A duel ensued, and nothing
but score buttoned under Handel's
coat and on which his antagonists
weapon broke, saved his life, which
was destined to prove of inestimable
value to the whole world.
In performing on the organ his
command of the instrument was
amazing, as was the fullness Of his
harmony and the grandeur and dig
nifty of his style. Handel wore an
enormous white wig, and when things
went well at the oratorios it had a
certain nod or vibration which de-
noted his satisfaction and pleasure.
Without this signal it was certain
that he was out of humor.
He never married and died pos
sessed Of 100000, Of which he be-
Queathed one-half to the fund for de-
cayed musicians, while the remainder
went to his relatives.-Chicago Jour-
