USED TIME TO ADVANTAGE
Napoleon ProftabIy 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 he 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 a cupboard. In the latter was q
ponderous volume, which proved to be
a digest of the Roman law. AS had
neither paper, pens, ink or pencil, you
may easily imagine this book to have
been a valuable prize to me. 1t was
so bulky, and the leaves were so Gov
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 on recovering it, l was saturated
with Justinian, and the decisions Of
the Roman legislators. It was thus
I acquired my knowledge of the civil
law"

DULL AND BRILLIANT YOUTHS
Bright Boy Does Not Always FIJI Ex-
peetato,s Of Friends, While
Stupid Lad Surprises.

An ex-head master Of rs years ex-
perience les confessed that he was
anything but a model boy at school.
He Is not exceptional. Some boys
who have no lack of brains have not
the Examination mind" and in some
the intelligence is too vivacious and
original to be interested In routine
work. There are boys who are really
dull and will never be anything else,
but there are also boys who aAe mere
ly unconventional and boys WHO are
apparently dull only because they are
slow.
Human beings are like plants. 1t is
not always the tree which grows and
fruits the quickest that gives the best
crop In the end, says the London Daily
Mail. The brilliant boy does not al
ways fulfill the expectations Of his
friends, while the boy who was sup.
posed to be dull occasionally surprises
everybody in after life because his
mind was of the sort which takes q
long time to mature.
No hard-and-fast rule can be laid
down. But, as DR.. Chalmers Mitchell
has pointed out 1t IS a general rule
In nature that the longer the period
Of youth the greater Is the intelligence
q the adult.

Appropri3te What7

The Church at Work, published by
the National Council of the Episcopal
church, tells of a resourceful native or
ganist who was called upon suddenly
to furnish the music for a mission
wedding ceremony at Hankow, China.
The bridegroom had recently become
a Christian. Following the custom,
he sent q beautiful sedan chair and
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 it was decided to have the
wedding on the spot. A meeting was
in progress in the church, so it was
impossible to have the brass band
play. Whereupon one Elsie Ii was
commandment to play the wedding
march. There was no sheet music on
hand. and Elsie was not equal to the
task of playing Mendelssohn from
memory. She was strong, however,
on one good old march tune, and ac-
cordingly the wedding party were dunn
founded and amused q few minutes
later when the bride and bridegroom
marched blithely forward to the altar
to the tune Of Onward Christian
Soldiers, Marching as to War"

Her name is indicative Of her ancestry,

this girl, many years his Junior, was

asked her to marry him. 1t was his
wish that the wedding take place i'm

ultimately married In September 1862
Although Sofia was just as much
the idealist as her husband, she was
far more practical, and made a per

LEGEND MANY CENTURIES OLD
Story Of the Wandering Jew" Has
Been Common to All Peoples
Since the Crucfixion.

It Is an ancient legend, that Of the
Wandering Jew, and the earliest men,
ton can find of 1t is said to be an
account related by an Armenian bish-
op In 1928. 1t has been exploited by
the novelist, the playwright, the poet
and the historian for it is a subject
replete with fascinating thrills
Tales have differed as to the identity
Of the Wandering Jew. One relates
that he was Kartaphilos, a doorkeeper
in the Judgment hall Of Pontius PLATE,
who, when the Man Of Sorrows was
passing through, struck him, saying,
Go on faster, Jesus" and the reply was,
Il am going, but thou shall tarry till
come again." A German legend takes
it up and relates that in the year 1547
the Jew appeared in Hamburg, giving
his name as Ahasuerus, saying that
he had been a shoemaker in Jerusalem
at the time Of the crucifixion When
Jesus paused at his door to rest the
cobbler pushed Him away, bidding
Him leave, to which the reply was:
Truly I go away and that quickly,
but tarry thou till I come again"
And this tradition has it that the
condemned man, going from country
to country, speaking all languages,
wandered throughout the centuries.
Eugene Sue depicts this artisan Of
Jerusalem as pale, with the single line
Of his black brows crossing from tenn
pie to temple, ever urged by the
avenging Deity, who cries, go on, 90
on but shows him as repentant and
with hope of final rest.-Frederic Has

Violin STRINGS,

Each string in violin is Of a diff
erent thickness, according to the tone
and tension required. The fourth
string IS covered with fine wire, either
q white metal or real silver, hence
1t Is often called the silver string"
Violas, vtoloncellos and double-bas>es
have each two covered strings, the
object being to insure a sufficient
gravity Of tone without having too
clumsy material. The covered
strings on the guitar are upon basis
Of silk instead Of catgut. The best
gut comes from Italy, which has been
famous for centuries for this prod
uct. Strings are carefully selected and
graded as to size so that they shall be
uniform. The larger strings for the
bigger instruments are stretched on
frames for three or four days. The
covered strings are finished on a Spe-
cial lathe which covers them with
floss silk or fine silverplated copper
wire, or even silver.-Scientif1c Ameri

Landlubbers link salvaging ships

Salvaging before the war was a mat
ter-of-fact trade, but during the war
1t became a business fraught with ex-
traordinary dangers. The maritime
belligerents had to save every dam

NOT AN EASY OCCUPATION
Deep-sea Diver May With Much Truth
Be Said Constantly to walk
With Death"

How. does a deep-sea diver feel
when he puts on his diving suit? Capt.
G. A. W. Monckton tells US in Some
Experiences of a New Guinea Resi-
dent Magistrate" that the feeling is
by no means pleasant.
The moment the face glass is
screwed tight, he says, and the air
pump begins to work, the diver feels
that he has grievance AS he de-
cends the feeling becomes more posi-
tive until he Is in a fury of rage
against everyone in general and usual
ly against one person in particular.
At the bottom he spends much of his
time wondering how soon the dress
can be taken off so that he can injure
the person against whom he has the
imaginary grievance. However, the
moment the face glass is removed,
and the diver breathes the ordinary
air, the bad temper leaves him, and
he wonders what caused his anger.
The divers greatest danger is that
of being drowned when he is on hts
way to the surface. After time 1t
seems, the best Of diving dresses be-
comes leaky, and the water that finds
It's way through the seams settles
round the feet and the legs; divers
become accustomed to having their
dresses filed with water up to the
knees and even to the thighs. How
ever, when q diver who has water in
the bottom Of his suit Is being hauled
to the surface he may involuntarIy
or accidentally allow his body to be-
come horizontal, and if he does so
the water at once rushes into his
helmet, stands him on his head and

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

The huge hydro-eIectric 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
hot day In the summer of 1860
typical placer miner Of that period
tolled on his claim. To supply water
for washing the gold-bearing gravel
he 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 sun sank the COW came to the
workings to slake 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 wagon wheel with empty cans
tied to the rim and was able to prove
the value Of what was later to be his
great invention.

vIRG|N|A'S HISTORICAL PAGEANT
STORY FULL OF HuM0R and PATH0S
and HISTORY MAKING EPISODES
Opening Prologue Is At The Court Of Queen Elizabeth In
Which Name Of Virginia Is Bestowed Upon The New
Land-Brief Story Of The Pageant To Be Given
In Richmond, May 1928

Richmond, Va, April Jurisdiction
OF the final outline Of the episodes Of
the performance depicting the history
Of Virginia has been made by the Book
Committee on the Virginia Historical
Pageant, and the complete text of the
scenes submitted by the author, Thos.
Wood Stevens, has been approved.
The Virginia Historical Pageant will
be staged Oh an open-air stage in Rich
mond beginning the week of May %
and continue each night through Sat
urday, May II, and on Sunday there
will be special religious services at the
pageant grounds.
Story Of The Pageant.
The story of the pageant is a series
Of the great moments n the history of
the State. The performance is to be-
gin with prologue at the court of
Queen Elizabeth, in which the name
Virginia is bestowed upon the new
land This scene is written in blank
verse, and includes an ingenious pam
tomimic masque, or play within play
to be performed largely by dancing
groups. The chief speaking parts in
the prologue are those of Queen Eliza
beth, Sir Walter Raleigh, Sir Francis
Drake, the Earl of Southampton, and
the Spanish ambassador
Following the prologue, the tone of
the play becomes more realistic, and
deals in very terse and condensed
dialogue with the events of the Co.
lonial period. The Committee has
made the final choice Of these events:
jamestown, at which the box contain
ing the names of the Councillors is
opened, the site of the settlement de
cided, and Captain John Smith
brought ashore in chains, is sent up
the James River with the first explor-
ers.
Brief rhythmic speeches from the
tower at the side of the stage serve
to keep the audience in touch with
happenings between the moments act
ually represented, that the thread of
historic sequence may not be lost The
second episode is Smiths capture by
OpeChancanough the rescue from
POwhatan by Pocahontas. This scene
uses to the full the peculiar devices
Of the zone stage. 1t is largely in
pantomime, and the words that are
spoken are almost all in the Algonquin
tongue, not as it is known now by
students of the Indian languages, but
as it was known by Captain John
Smith, and included BY him in his ia
nous work on Virginia.
"Starving Time" Dramatic.
Probably the most powerful in
dramatic mood of all the scenes of the
Colonial period is the third, dealing
with the starving Time" 1t is fol
lowed by an idyllic note in the we'd
ding of Pocahontas, and this in turn
gives way to the First Assembly This
episode, dealing with the beginnings of
Democracy in the New World, is quiet,
dignifed, and of the greatest political
interest. After it the voice from the
Tower exclaims:
Here was the hour-the first, the
mighty hour
That established on this soil the
rights of men
To meet and choose, determine and
resolve,
And so at length to govern, by con
sent,
And by consent alone. And from this
meeting

"Passion Play" Result of a Vow.


The Oberammergau Passion Play"
a dramatic representation of the suf-
ferings of Christ, originated from a
vow made by the inhabitants Of the
little Bavarian village in 1888, with
the hope Of staying plague then
raging. The original text probably
was made by the monks of Ettal but
the parish priests have since carefully
revised 1t. The music was composed
by Rochus Dedler in 1914. The play
is given by amateurs In purely rever-
entail spirit, and not for gain. It re-
quires cast Of about seven hundred
persons. In 1901 an $4,000 playhouse
was erected especially for the pres
entation, which is given every ten
years. The first performance was
given in 1884.
