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

When Napoleon l 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 | was a lieutenant, l 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 a
ponderous volume, which proved to be
digest of the Roman law AS l had
neither paper, pens, ink or pencil, you
may easily imagine this book to have
been a valuable prize to me. 1t was

only ten days deprived of my liberty
but on recovering it, l was saturated

GUT IDEA FOR WAFER WHEEL
World Greatly Indebted to Humble
Cow and Mans Quick Percep-
tion for the Turbine.

The huge hydrO-electric power de
velopment now reaching every part
of the world owes its origin to
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 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 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-llke
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 Pclton 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 to be his
great invention.

Appropriate. What7

The Church at Work, published by
the National Council of the EpiScopai
church, tells of a resourceful native or
ganist who was called upon suddenlg
to furnish the music for a mission
wedding ceremony at Hankow, China.
The bridegroom had recently become
d Christian. Following the custoIl,
he sent a beautiful sedan chair and 3
brass band to escort the bride to HIS
home, where the ceremony was to pc
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
Communicated 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 a few minutes
later when the bride and bridegroom
marched blithely forward to the altar
to the tune Of coward Christian

"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 a plague then
raging. The original text probably
was made by the monks of Ettal, but
the parish priests have since carefully
revised it. The music was composed
by Rochus Dedler in 1914. The play
is given by amateurs in purely rever-
entail spirit, and not for gain. 1t re-
quires a 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.

A New Way to Putt

RCW why tO AutA
 have given considerable try-out this winter to a new method of put ting, and it has worked in great shape for me- I shall use it con stantly in my playing henceforth- and who knows but what some critic may yet say that am good butter. If I could ever attain a degree of perfection, or make this new system yield the same result. by which I could feel reasonably sure of going through every green with only two puts
 However. whether 1t does that or not, there is no secret about anything I may be able to learn from the game. so here's the news about the new putt:
 Henceforth I shall do all my put ting with one hand, and that my left onei
 Puttfng One Handed have found that it works well. It yields the true pendulum stroke. and, If you will try it as I shall de- scribe 1t in this, you will, I think, observe that you have something like the true putting stroke-at lasti l holed them again and again from lies 10. 12, 15 feet from the cup in prac- tice this wintaf, and all I can say Is that if this method works out in the open as well as 1t has worked out in the back yard for me this winter. America Is about to see a great flock of expert putters.
 To make this stroke, grasp the | Al -N hold of the shaft exactly as you grasp the driver, except that you must put the back of the hand well up on top of the shaft. with the thumb pointing downward, resting on the shaft at point almost, but not quite. half way around the right hand side of the shaft. The position of the thumb Is all important, since it is the guide for the true pendulum follow through Now let the right hand fall naturally into place on the shaft. You need take no exact grip with the right hand at all. Just let it fall where it seems to rest with the most naturalness or comfort.
 Use Lest Only
 Now make the stroke entirely with the left hand. Let the right hand go gack with the left one, but let it nave no part whatever In the making of the shot other than to act as a balance for the left hand. Draw the l clubhead back with the left wrist, apply what power you wish with the ] left wrist-in other words. let the left wrist and left forearm do the job of making the shot, with the club guided largely by the thumb.
 This will yield you the true psndu- 1 lum stroke for the putt. You will have only to judge how much push to give the clubhead for different dis tances, but the straight roll of the ball when you project 1t with this stroke will agreeably surprise you. i It will go straight for the hole, be- cause the stroke will impart to 1t a straight and perfectly balanced fol- low through of the putter-head so that if your aim is right the ball will drop.
 Stand with the feet well apart and get the ball on line with the end of your nose. Don't let the clubhead get to the ball ahead of your hands. Try this-and see them begin to drop in.

Drioers Are Ready to Speed Away tn
 Big Race

Indianapolis May 23. The final week of practice for the tenth annual 50o-mile international sweepstakes race. on the Indianapolis Motor Speed way, Memorial day, finds all the drivers trying, to get the last ounce of speed developed for the trials to determine the order in which the cars will line up for the start of the worlds greatest speed classic.
 The majority of the drivers have not opened up their mounts for the benefit of the fans who throng the track every afternoon, but in the early hours of the morning those who are out "step on it" and reel off fast laps. Howard Wilcox, at the wheel of French Peugeot, the winner of the 1919 rece with car of the same make, has been hitting 100 miles an hour and better In sunrise practice spins. Jules Goux, the Parisian, win ner in 1913, has been tooling his Ballot eight around at the same rate before the rail birds'' arrive. How ever, when the fans are out the driv- CTS seldom exceed 95 to 9S miles an hour.
 95 Miles Per Hour
 The Frontenac half dozen has not shown it's real speed. as the proteges of Chevrolet seem to have been in- structed to take 1t easy in practice and not disclose the possibilities of their mounts. but all have been able to do laps at 95 miles an hour.
 In the Deusenberg camp the drivers also have taken 1t very deliberately. although Ralph De Palma in a late spin Sunday evening almost hit the 100-mile mark with his new cream colored Deusenberg eight.
 One of the drivers who has not shown any speed is R. Clifford Du- rant the Oakland. Cal. millionaire. Durant has not driven for two years and is merely conditioning himself for the long grind. He will drive an eight-cylinder Durant Special, the car that Tommy Milton used to win the 1921 driving championship. However, for his conditioning driving he is not using his fast car. On his way east from California. Durant stopped in Chicago and acquired a. Stutz speed ster of the vintage of 1s16. It is the car that he is using to re-familiar- ize himself with the brick course and to harden himself for the long drive. Every morning, starting at o'clock, he goes out and rolls around the track for 200 miles. at not to exceed 60 miles an hour. The other drivers smile as they pass Cliff Durant, for his mount looks like the race cars of decade ago due to its heighth when compared to the race cars of today, and it's comparatively long wheel base.
 Every one of the cars entered will be at the track by Wednesday after noon. Every car must show an aver age of 80 miles an hour or more to cfa fo cx in the front rank and the remainder of the field line up in the order of their average speed in the 10-mile trials.
