The floor plans Of the old home

and another door from the two cor

New Polindronae Found

New palindromes are rare, but a
western newspaper writer has re-
vealed several especially good ones. A
palindrome is merely a phrase that
spells backward and forward. A
classic example Of the palindrome is
the speech put into the mouth Of Ma
poleon: cable was ere saw Elba."
Among the new ones sent was the fol
lowing purporting to be sign which

Doubt Anecdote of Drake

One of the features of the great his
torical pageant Of Devon, produced at
TorQuay. was the use, In one scene,
of the identical set of bowls with
which Drake was playing when the
Armada came in sight These bowls
are among the treasures of Torquay
museum. says London Answers.
There are people, however, who
doubt their authenticity or rather the
truth Of the famous anecdote OF Drake
and his celebrated game on Plymouth
Hoe. There is no contemporary ac-
count Of the incident. which was le-
scribed for the first time in Britain
in an Eighteenth century book. 1t is
mentioned, however, in a Spanish po-
litical pamphlet published In 1904.

jack, who fell from the top of the
church Of st. George In Bolton-le-

The mans skull struck some sheet
lead upon the earth and left its i'm

slightly injured and resumed work in
a few days. Not long ago a man
