HeraLded Camera

The camera obscura was a device
invented by Battista POrta, an emf
nent Italian physicist, about 1860 A.
D., and was the fOrerunner of the
camera. 1t consisted of a rectangular
box, with a lens whose focal length
was equal to the length and depth of
the box. On the side of the box Op-
pOsite to the lens was placed a plane
reflector at an angle of 45 degrees.
By this means the image of any object
toward which the lens was directed
was thrown upon a piece of ground
glass on the top Of the box, in an up
right position. By this instrument OBJ
iects could be viewed or sketched
from, as in nature. Newton remodeled
the camera Obscura, and new inter
est was taken in it when, by the inven-
ton of Daguerre in 1889, the pictures
became fixed. kansas City Star.

Most people know that the original
Sabbath day of the Fifth command

was on the morning after the Jewish
Sabbath that Christ rose from the
dead.

RovoI State Coach

The English royal state coach, which
is still in use on ceremonial occasions,
is a magnificent vehicle Of its kind,
and, according to Horace WalpOle, cost
nearly $4,000. The use of coaches is
a comparatively recent innovation, for
as late as the reign of Queen Elizabeth
the English royal family had to be
content with a wagon which was a
sort of cart without springs, the body
resting sOlidly on the axle. Before
the invention of the coach the most
aristocratic ladies we're accustomed to
ride on pillions hxed on the horse,
usually behind some relative or servant.

Ancient People

The Boeotians were the inhabitants
of a division Of ancient Greece, having
Thebes for it's capital. The Athenians
regarded the BOeOtlans with contempt.
as lacking appreciation for the culture
and refinement OF Attica. The Boeo-
tians were devoted to agriculture and
pastoral pursuits, and in the opinion
Of the Athenians were as thick and
dull as their own atmosphere. Never
theless, BoeOtia produced Hesiod, Pin
dar, Plutarch, Epaminondas and

das Thebes was the leading city of

Norman w. Kumple, chief of the
Middletown fire department, and his
assistant, Harris Berkman, were held
under $500 bail for the grand jury on
charges of operating gambling de-
vices by Magistrate Stevens in Mid
dletOwn. Both men were arrested
recently at the fremen's carnival. The
warrants were sworn out by Rev.
John Townley, a Presbyterian minis
ter in Middletown. Referring of the
charges to the grand jury will settle
a much-mooted question among fire
men in this State. Under the Della
ware laws the selling of chances for
automobiles or for wheels at which
prizes are awarded is considered
gambling. Numerous carnival pro-
moters have been arrested and fineC
for operating such chance games il
recent years, but no test ever was
made of the law.
