'ENURN1NG from Williams and ap~
preaching Ezra Pound, We leave a
hot struggle and meet d cool, confident
isolation. Pound is crudition dancing
with cxqusitely graceful ghosts of
emotion, and even in those parts Of
his verse that are more deeply sensual
he seems 10 bc initiating rather than
&chleving spontane:ty.
In previous review Of MS latest
book Of poems emphasized two among
the several groups Of poems So Homage
to Scxtus Propertius' and "Hugh Sci
Uyn Maubcrly Life and Contacts -
and claimed that the first group, sug-
gested by the Latin Of Propertius. was
an overlong rendition OF ancient man
ners and morals, and that the second
group held the actual essence of Pound
himself.
To my surDrise, Pound. in letter
TO mo, insisted that his free transla-
tion from the Latin held the concen-
tration Of his actual views on life. and
that his other group, dealing with
present-day modes OF conduct and
thought, was Of much less Importance
He coHtended that the motives of hu-

USED TIME TO ADVANTAGE
Napoleon ProfitabIy Occupied Hours
Which He Was Forced to Spend
In Unjust Confinement.

When Napoleon I was forming the
Code Napoleon, he %astonished the
council of state by the readiness with
which ne illustrated any point in dis
cussion by quoting, whole passages, ex-
tempore, from the Roman civil law,
a subject entirely foreign to him, as
his whole life had been passed in the
camp. On being asked by Treilhard
how he had acquired so familiar a
knowledge Of law, Napoleon replied:
"When I was a lieutenant, I was
once unjustly put under arrest. The
small room assigned for my prison con-
tanned no furniture, save an old chair
and q cupboard. In the latter was a
ponderous volume, which proved to be
b digest Of the Roman law. As I had
neither paper, pens, ink or pencil, you
may easily imagine this book to have
been a valuable prize to me. 1t was
90 bulky, and the leaves were SO COW
cred by marginal notes in manuscript,
that had I been confined 100 years, I
need never to have been idle. I was
only ten days deprived Of my liberty,
but IN recovering II, I was saturated
with Justinian, and the decisions Of
the Roman legislators. It was thus
I acquired my knowledge of the civil
law"

GOT IDEA FOR WATER Wheel
World Greatly Indebted to Humble
Cow and Mans Quick Peresp-
ton for the Turbine.

The huge hydro-electric power de-
velopment now reaching every part
of the world owes It's origin to a
homely incident which took place in
California many years ago, in which
an early day miner and his cow
were the chief factors.
History and legend relate that on
a hot day in the summer of 1860 a
typical placer miner Of that period
toiled on his claim. To supply water
for washing the g~old-bearing gravel
ne had provided a long length of or
binary hose, and as the fall above
was considerable the water gushed
from the hose with decided force. AS
the u sank the COW came to the
workings to Stake her thirst, and was
in danger of upsetting some Of the
sluices and other devices of the
placer miner. So the man turned the
hose on the cow. By chance the water
blast struck the COW in her cup-like
nostrils, throwing her head back
sharply.
The man was Lester A. Pelton, out
from Ohio on a mining venture, and
later world famous as the inventor
Of the Pelton water wheel, the de-
vice which forms the basis of the
great turbines which transform water
into electric energy.
Pelton said many times that the
idea Of the invention came to him
when he saw the effect of the water
blast coming in contact with the cows
nose. Within an hour he was rigging
up a wagon wheel with empty cans
tied to the rim and was able to prove
the value of what was later 70 be his
great invention.

ApproprIate. WHAT

The Church at Work, published by
the National Council Of the Episcopal
church, tells of q r~esourceful native or
ganist who was called upon suddenly
10 furnish the music for a mission
wedding ceremony Mt Hankow, China.
The bridegroom had recently become
4 Christian. Following the custom,
he sent a beautiful sedan chair and q
brass band to escort the bride to his
home, where the ceremony was to be
performed. Something delayed the
bride, and the impatient young man
hurried down to the mission house,
where 1t was decided to have the
wedding on the spot. A meeting was
IN progress Ia the church, so It was
impossible TO have the brass band
LAY. Whereupon one Elsie Ii was
tsnmandeered TO play the wedding
