Big "Scoop" Credited
to Virginia Gazette

The Virginia Gazette is said to
have been the first newspaper is
sued south of the Potomac river. 1t
was also the first paper to publish
the Declaration of Independence.
The Gazette was established by a
man named Parks at Williamsburg
In 1736. 1t has recently been re-
yived by the William Parks School
Of Journalism OF William and Mary
college. AS established by Parks
the Gazette was single sheet, IL
BY 6 inches, and was sold for Is
shillings year. The first issue
Of the new series is In tabloid form
and contains IL pages. According
to the first issue Of this series,
which was prepared by William and
Mary students, one of the earliest
numbers OF the Gazette "scooped
the world on the Declaration of In
dependence. During the Revolu-
tionary war three papers bearing
the name Gazette were published in
Williamsburg. One was edited and
published by Mrs. Clementina Rina.
She successfully conducted her pa
per for two years. She is given the
credit of being the first woman In
the United States to edit and pub
fish paper.-Pathfnder Magazine.

Coal First Employed
for Melfino Metal,

Coal probably was burned for tha
production Of superheat used in the
ianflcation of metals during the
IRON age, as early as B. G. 1000. hut
the first authentic use of this fnel
- traced to Greece, where it was
burned In B. c. 800. These facts
reiating to the common coal of to-
aay are presented by Malcolm Mac
rarlsne, general fuel inspector Of
the New York Central, In an article
N the railroads magazine.
II seems reasonable" the writer
says, ito believe that coal came in
20 limited use with the discovery
Of metals because of the more In
Iense neat required to work these.
On this assumption coal may have
oeen used in the Iron age as early
rs =. c. 1000. Reports indicate that
zeoai was mined quite extensively In
England during the Roman inva-
sion, but the earliest reliable rec

Alter tramping unconsciously
over the enormous beds Of coal in
the Alleghanies, pioneers Of Amer
lea discovered the first bed Of coal
on the Illinois river at Ottawa IN
1919. But nearly another century
passed, says Mr.. MacFarlane, be-
fore actual mining began, and then
IL was in Virginia, at point IL
miles above Richmond, on the
James river This was in 176O.
During the next % years it came
into general use in that region and
made possible the manufacture Of
cannon for Washington's army

Necessity for Sleep

We are told that too much sleep
may be harmful, deadening the ac-
tivities of the mind and body. A
physician who has been studying
the mystery Of sleep, has gone 30
g. as to advance the theory that
It may be possible to develop q
sleepless race. He declares that
eventually we may eliminate sleep
by scaling it down gradually and
getting accustomed to going with
out 1t. A way to do this. he sug-
gests, Is to reduce our sleep FIVE
minutes every two months. At the
end of sixteen years, provided we
start at eight hours night, "the
stupor Of sleep would be banished
If it could be.

MosIey7,s' Holy Stone

The black stone Of Mecca is q
-colored stone about nine
inches long, apparently meteor
lite, built into the southeast corner
Of the temple of the Caaba at Nee.
ca. The Mohammedans claim that
It was given to Abraham by an
angel. Pilgrims to Mecca walk
around the temple seven times, then
kiss the black stone. The Caaba
was the temple of Mecca for ages
before the time of Mohammed, and
attracted pagan pilgrims In those
days just as now 1t draws thou
sands Of Moslems. It is legend
that the black stone was at one
time white, but turned black owing
to the sins Of men.-Exchange.

Biggest One-Piece Doors

The doors at the west entrance
OF st. Paul's cathedral in London
are believed to be the biggest pair
OF one-piece doors in existence.
There are, Of course, bigger doors
elsewhere, but not all in one piece
like these. Each of the two leaves
is Of solid oak, about 80 feet high,
and very massive.
Because of their immense weight
and unwieldiness, they are only
opened on state occasions, and, very
occasionally, in hot summer wealth
er to air the cathedral. No nails
enter into their construction, the
various crosspieces and panels be-
ing held together by bronze bolts.
The doors are nearly as old as the
cathedral itself, and have upon
them the initials of the carpenter
who made them.-Detroit News.

Dante of the Dawn

Dante's work is untranslatable
To get a faithful English transcript
OF the great Florentine, we should
need diction of the Fourteenth
century, nodded by a more fiery
and pOten genius than Chaucer. Not
the thoughts solely, as in every
true poem, are so often virgin
thoughts; the words, too, many of
them are virgin words. Their
freshness and unworn vigor are
there alone in Dante's Italian. OF
the modern intellectual movement.
Dante was the majestic herald. In
his poems are the mysterious shad-
ows, the glory, the fragrance, the
young life promising splendors Of
the dawn. The broad day has its
strength and its blessings; but it
can give only a faint image Of the
slories of its birth.-George Henry
Calvert.

His Promise

A southwestern banker tells Of a
man In his state who was continu-
ally hard up and had so many notes
at tl-a bank that he could not leave
town except on Sundays and holt
days. There was one note of his
falling due every banking day. He
dropped into the bank one day and
spoke genially to the president. II
came In to fix up that little matter
of mine," he said, I'D like to re.
new it for a while"
The president had the note on
his desk. He picked 1t up and
studied it carefully. Henry" he
finally said, II don't think this note
Is made out properly"
"Why not?" asked the borrower.
ct reads: 4 promise to pay, not
I promise to renew.

Tasmania

A Dutch navigator, Abel JAMS
z0on Tasman, discovered this is
land, which is now one of the states
Of the Australian commonwealth.
He supposed it to be the mainland
of the southern continent, and he
named 1t Van Dieman's land
In honor of his friend and patron,
Anthony Van Dieman, governor of
the Dutch East Indies. 1t was later
visited by Captain Clark and 9th
ers, and first cOlonized in 1903. For
a time the island was administered
as an appendage of New South
Wales 1t was then still officially
called Van Dieman's land. but the
name Tasmania, in honor Of it's dis
coverer, was a popular one. In 1858,
at about the time a constitution
was being framed for the colony
and it was being granted a con-
siderable measure of self-gOvern-
ment, it elected to adopt Tasmania
as its official name.
