SLIPPED AWAY FROM ARREST
Quaker's Explanation That II Would
Have Been lnconvenient at the
Time Is Humorous.

A story dating from our Civil war
has just been retold by Earl Russell,
grandson of Lord John Russell, the
great Victorian statesman, in his my
Life and Adventures" A Philadelphia
lawyer named Roselgarten was a
colonel in the Northern army and was
dispatched to arrest John Janney, a
Quaker, who had signed the virginian
act of secession. He found them all
at meeting" so he just sat down
and said: II don't want to disturb
your meeting, but I warn you that at
the end of it, it is my duty to arrest
John Janney." One OF them arose and
said: "Will thee take off thy hat?"
No." he replied, cit is Friends meet
ing" "Yes, thy hat is military hat"
So he took 1t off, and his sword also,
after some demur, and one of the
Friends took them out. After an hour
or so, the meeting was over. "Now,"
he said, 81 must remind you that I
want John Janney. Pray stand up"
About twenty of them stood up. Non
sense" he said, 81 want the John jan
ney who signed, etc." ooh, that John
Janney,' they replied, "why he took
out thy hat an hour ago." He added
that after the war John Janney came
and called on him to apologize for
slipping away, but said 1t would really
have been very inconvenient for him
to have been arrested just then-San

Sees No Change in Weather.

A scientist says the sun has not
cooled five degrees in a thousand mil
lion years. This may be true, but our
recollection is that a thousand million
years ago the summers were much hot
ter and dryer than they are now. A
thousand million years ago the heat
was so intense we couldn't sleep
nights; even in our favorite northern
resorts a palm beach suit felt like a
winter overcoat. The mercury used to
break the necks of the thermometers.
In those days they used to deliver ice
at nights, because it was impossible to
transport it in the daytime. A 25-pound
cake of ice in trip from the wagon
to the back door, il the sun were shin

boiling water. Only five degrees cool

EARLY DISCOVERY OF AMERICA
the Great Continent Long Before
Columbus Was Born.

1t is said by persons who have given
attention to the subject that the
Mortimer were well acquainted with
the east coast of North America nearly
500 years before the first celebrated
voyage of Columbus. 1t is said to have
been accidentally discovered by an Ice
landic navigator, while endeavoring to
make the coast Of Greenland, In the
year 1001 From that time, for about
$50 years, the intercourse of the Ice
landic Normans with Holluland New
foundland), MARYLAND (Nova Scotia),
and Vinland New England), was fire.
quent and intimate. No other Euro
pean people have been so scrupulously
correct in keeping their records as the
Scandinavians, and the accounts Of
these early voyages, which have been
handed down from the period in which
they were made, are most particular
and circumstantial- so, indeed,
than those Of the Spanish Adventures
who followed Columbus.
All intercourse of these Mortimer
with America seems to have ceased
about the middle of the Fourteenth
century. This fact is as extraordinary
and inexplicable as that, about the
same time, or soon after, they disap-
peared in like manner from the west
coast of Greenland.
