Proper Honor Paid by
Shah TO FeLLotU Poet

In his Memories Of Eighty Years."
Chauncey M. Depew tells the follow
ing:
Browning, the poet, was present at
great dinner given for the shah Of
Persia at Stafford house, the home of
the duke of Sutherland, and the finest
palace in London. Every guest was
asked, In order to impress the shah, to
come In all the decorations to which
they were entitled. The result was
that the peers came in their robes,
which they otherwise would not have
thought of wearing on such an occa-
sion. Browning said he had received
a degree at Oxford and that entitled
him to a scarlet cloak. He was so out
ranked that he sat at the foot of the
table. The shah said to his host:
"Who is that distinguished gentle
man in the scarlet cloak at the other
end of the tablet" The host answered:
"That is one of our greatest poets"
"That is no place for a poet" re-
marked the shah "bring him up here
and let him sit next to me-" So at the
royal command the poet took the seat
of honor. The shah said to Browning :
II am mighty glad to have you near
me, for l am poet myself"

Good Reason Why He

To be sure, the brakes may get out of
order the day after the disk is pasted
on, but if one doesn't know it there is
no worry. Besides, it furnishes fine
alibi if ones car is in a collision. Just
point to the blue disk and tell the
other fellow he must be to blame.
But what is going to happen to
those drivers who play the debonair

brake means less to them than a buzz

First Rude Telescope
EUolued BY Accident

When the son of Sixteenth GEN.

picked up some spectacle lenses in his
fathers shop one day and happened
to hold up two of them, one in each
hand, he was surprised on looking
through both lenses to see the wealth
ercock on a neighboring church
steeple greatly enlarged. Excited by
this discovery, he ran to his father
and told him what he had seen. The
father Immediately took the two
lenses and repeated the experiment.
The result confirmed his boys report
and the father set to work at once,
fixing two movable lenses on a board
-an idea suggested to him by the
varying view he had obtained by NOV
ing the lenses in his hands-and thus
the first rude telescope came into
being. Shortly after the news of this
discovery had leaked out, friend
wrote to Calico in Italy describing
the contrivance of the Dutch optician
and it was from this description that
the Italian inventor built the tele-
scope that made him famous-New-

Dogs Readily Detect
Unrealify of "MoUies"

Cats, birds and snakes respond to

The dogs paid no attention even when
pictures of other dogs were shown.
The only exception was when little
dachshund ran up to the screen,

then suddenly lost interest, apparent

large dog appeared on the screen,
domestic fowl showed fright at the
sight of a hawk lowering over a field,
and wild birds showed different de-
grees of interest. An excitable
rooster flew repeatedly at an imag-
mary enemy on the screen. When
pictures of flies and worms were
shown in their natural size on white
screen, various reptiles snapped at
them and evidenced establishment

Early Cradle Formed Tl
From Hollowed Log

Cradles, in their earliest form, were
merely logs, scooped out to form more
or less comfortable resting places for
babies. They were without rockers,
since the natural shape of the logs
made their use unnecessary. Cradles
have varied with different modes OF
living and reflect In their diversity OF
form and adornment the progress OF
the cabinetmaker's art. The Romans
are said to have used cradles OF con-
siderable refinement, but after the de-

it was with the decay of living, the

sumed crude and humble aspect.
One of the early forms of the cradle
was the oaken chest without lld.
Baskets of osierS were sometimes
used, in which the child, wrapped In
swaddling clothes, was placed. The
American cradle of oak in the Metro

from the early Seventeenth century.

Cheapside First Home
of Great British Bank

How came the bank of England to
be built? And why the appellation
"The Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street" Mr.. HI. Rooksby Steele, a
well-known London architect, supplies
the answers In an article on the archi-
tectural history of Britain's bullion
house. Many think that Sir John
Soane, the wizard of Lincoln's Inn
fields, built the bank. His are the
girding walls, but in the raising of the
fabric three other names-those Of
Sampson, Taylor and Cockerell-have
to be Joined. MERGERS hall, Cheapside,
was the banks first home; but a
quick move was made to the~Grocer'S
hall, In Poultry, and 1t was not until
1852 that the foundation stone of the
present bank was laid. George Samp-
SON was the first architect, and it is
curious that no building, other than
the bank, can be attributed to his
hand, a writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer comments. In the. cornice ex-
tending the full length of the build
ing, Taylor sculptured an excellent
figure of Britannia, some years after
the completion of the building "This
carving, the trade mark of the bank"
writes Mr.. Steele, twas probably the
inspiration for that trite appellation,

Street," Taylor added to SIMPSONS

led the directors to fear that the adj
joining church of st. Christopher-le-
Stocks might lend itself as a danger

ers were obtained, the fabric was
pulled down, and more extensions

Cape Horn

Gen. William 7. Sherman wrote in
his Memoirs that Cape Horn was an
fand rounded like an oven, latter
which it takes it's name (Ornos)
ven." However, he was in error, for
be Spanish word for oven is "hornos,"
lough it is pronounced without the
sound. The island to which Sher-
nan referred is known as Horn island
Ind the actual cape is only portion
)bf the island, says the Pathfinder
Magazine. But the cape did not get
its name because of its resemblance
to an oven. It was named for the
Dutch navigator William Schouten van
Hoorn who, with Lemaire, doubled the
cape in 1916. Horn is an anglicized
form of Hoorn. In Spanish it is
called Cabo de Hornos. No wonder
Sherman was misled, for literally Cabo
de Hornos would mean cape of ovens;
that is, it would according to the form,
did it not have different origin.

Marvellous Stone Car
i'm Old Indian Temple

When the Mohammedans invaded
the kingdom of vijayanagar in the
Sixteenth century, they wrought tre-
mendous havoc on all the great guild
ings of that great city, says writer
in Calcutta paper. Today, as one
rambes over it, there is hardly to be
seen a structure that does not show
evidence of the iconoclastic proclivi-
ties of the invaders.
1t Is interesting to note that one OF
the unique structures among the ruins,
a temple car made of stone, has APP
parently been untouched. This is the
more striking as the temple, in the
courtyard of which the car stands, has
been terribly treated, some of the
finest carving in the whole city being
broken and shattered out Of all shape.
This car is TO he found in the vicinity
Of the Vitthalaswami temple, not far
from the river.
After first appearance one is in
clined to think the car has been carved
out of solid block of stone, but a
closer examination shows this is not
so. The joints between the various
parts are wonderfully well done, and
unless one looks at the structure care
fully it is not surprising the impress
sion Of solidity should be given. The
pilgrims who visit the place believe
that they obtain merit by turning
round the wheels, which are also made
of stone. AS result Of this devotion
the axle has become very much worn.
Two elephants of stone stand In front
of the car.

EarIy Form, of Banjo

The existence of instruments Of the
lutte or guitar kind implies a certain
grade of knowledge and culture
among people who know how to
stretch strings over scundboards and
to determine the required intervals
by varying the vibrating length of the
strings. Such instruments found In
use by savage or very uncivilized peo-
pies suggest their introduction
through political or religious con-
quest by superior race. The Arabs
may thus, or by trade, have bestowed
guitar instrument on the negroes of
western Africa and the Senegambian
"bania" may be, as Mr.. Carl Engel
suggests, the parent Of the American
negroes banjo.

Book Preserper

A coat of varnish may be applied
over the finest fooled leather or other
book binding without fear of injuring
the color or appearance in any way.
The idea is good one for the protec-
ton Of rare old books, since the var
nish forms a moist-proof, wear-resist-
ing coat which will preserve the cover
Indefinitely. 1t is good idea, too, for
children's hooks. which soon show
finger prints and other signs of wear ;
or for the cook book, which is likely
to become spotted and sticky. The
washable varnish makes the binding
neater and the hook more sanitary.
