Handel Rebuked King

TIL courage of conviction Is a char
acteristlc to be admired. Handel held
no other avocatlon or individual
higher in his estimation than the ele-
waited standard to which he placed
music. TO him the power Of man was
no created power than that OF his art.
With such exalted reverence did his
genius worship the spirit Of music II
Is quite reasonable to accept his fear
less manner Of constantly champion
ing It, no matter what the dignity OF
the parsonage whom he found himself
compelled to address. On one occa-
sion, when the king Of England told
Handel how greatly the performance
OF "The Messiah" had pleased him,
the composer answered: your males.

Hid Stolen Gold in Eye

The death OF the owner Of pub"
at Kalgoorlie, western Australia, re-
Gently revealed unique theft from
the gold mines many years ago. In
his youth the man had lost an eye in
an explosion and glass one had been
substituted In the socket A cavity
at the back Of this furnished a hiding
place for gold stolen from the mine,
and though the miner stole only a
small bit Of gold each day, his reye-
nue. from this source was about $40
n week. Before his death the man
told his friends that he had stolen
several thousand dollars worth Of
gold, but that he retired and bought
a pub" fearing he might arouse suS-
picion.

Fraud Practiced on
Deuotees of Buddhd

When the Oriental wishes to pro-
duce pearl images of Buddha, after
inserting his wooden wedge, he care
fully forced the mantle for little way
from Its attachment to the inner bot
tom edge of the mussel shell. Then
he took number of small images OF
Buddha stamped in tin, upon the UNI
der side of which he placed some
sticky gubstance-probably a bit Of
beeswax-and, after carefully lifting
the edge OF the mantle he inserted
them and fixed them row upon row
on the Inside OF the shell.
All that was necessary now was to
return the mussel to the pool, where
It would shortly repair the injury
done to the edge of the mantle and
overcome the Irritation produced by
the irregular surface of the tin images
by coating them with nacre. SO after
a few months, year or more, when
these mussels were taken from the
pools, killed and opened, the images
would be found fixed to the inside of
the shells Just as they were placed,
but now nicely coated with shining,

bad Man" Began His
Lotuless Life Eaylv

Bill Langley probably was one OF
the toughest characters that Texas
ever produced, owen u. White tells
us, In Golfers Magazine, According
TO his family Bible he was born Of
honest God-fearing parents, but he
took to shooting curly. when he was
only fourteen years old he was doing
his daily dozen with pair OF six
shooters ana filling all the trees In
the ancestral wood lot with clusters
Of leaden bullets, generally grouped
q dozen In spot and no spot more
than six inches In diameter. Thus
early In life did Bill make a bid for
fame He learned to shoot with born
hands, afoot or horseback, II was the
same to him. But, sad to relate Of one
so young, Bllls conscience apparently
was just ns we'll trained as his shoot
ing eye. II never bothered him In the
slightest degree Hence, before he
was nineteen years he had six hicks
on his gun and had been hanged by
Texas vigilance committee, But the
hanging did not "tnke" Members Of
the party fired shots at him as they
rode away. one Of the bullets clipped
the rope, weakening It, and few
moments later he dropped to the
ground and quickly recovered. After
several years of wild depreciation,
Langley wns executed In Glddings,
Texas, October IL, 1873.

Maybe This Explains
Hotv Sales Are Made

From the inner office of the palatlal
quarters of Sellem and company, deal
ers in bonds, suddenly burst roar of
laughter. It was the hearty reverber-
ating kind OF laughter that betokened
complete and unrestralned enjoyment.
1t echoed through the building until
even persons passing in the hall
stopped to wonder. 1t kept up for one
minute, two minutes, three minutes,
three minutes and thirty seconds. The
ONCE boy held q watch on It to make
sure.
Five minutes later the prize sales
man emerged, beaming with smiles,
escorting stranger, who looked
equally pleased. When the stranger
had been duly bowed out, the office
manager turned to the prize salesman.
"What was the grand joke, HarryP"
asked the manager.
"Why," said the prize salesman. "he
told me that one about the newspaper
reporter who wrote that the brides
feet were encased In fairy boots and
when II came out In print 1t said
ferry boats"
"But," said the manager, you must
have read that In an almanac when
you were a boy. Why such extraor-
binary hilarity?"
"Sh," replied the prize salesman,

To console them, move was made

was not until ITO, however, that rub
Der was utilized in any civilized coun-
try; then few pieces of It were sent
to England to be used by artists for

In 1900, came In the form Of bottles,
and was looked upon simply as an In

Biblical MANUSCRIPT

30 far as is known, there are no
original Bible manuscripts In exist
ence. According to the national mu.
scum, the Codex Yatlcanus, so called
because 1t Is preserved at the Vatican,
is the Oldest Biblical manuscript now
known. II Is written In Greek and
was probably the work OF two or three
scribes during the Fourth century
The manuscript contains the Old and
New Testaments, although It Is not
complete. It is probably the most val

APPROPRIATIONS
FAIL TO PLEASE
NAVY BOOSTERS
Air Service to Get Along
on $8,41O,O00


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The ad-
ministration's naval program was laid
before congress today, thus paving the
way for the bitter fight to be waged
over Strengthening Americas sea
power.
The program was brought out in the
naval supply bill, carrying $316,469,530
for the next fiscal year, reduction
of $5,500,OOO and with no money pro-
vided for cruiser construction to bring
the United States navy up to the 5-5-3
parity with Great Britain and Japan.
1t was laid before the house by the
administration controlled appropria-
tions committee. The naval commit
tee is on the other side Of the contro-
versy and will fight for new cruiser
construction.
with respect to new vessels, the
committee is ready to proceed In pro-
viding the requisite funds whenever
the president shall so recommend"
said the committees report.
A total of $23,25O,OO0 was recon-
mended for new ships, all either I'M
der construction or for which plans
and specifications have been complet-
ed. These are two aircraft carriers,
three submarines, six river gunboats
being built in China, two light cruisers
under construction and three others
for which plans have been drawn.
Marine Corps Cut.
The navys enlisted strength is kept
at so, 500, while the marine corps was
slashed 1900 men over the protest of
Major General lie Jeaene, command
ant of the corps.
Recommending an Appropriation OF
$40, 1885, SS for the nayy's air corps,
the committee asserted that this
amount will carry on the five-year air
program on a slightly reduced scale.
This amount is $724,712 above cur
rent appropriations.
The committee, however, rejected
the appeal of the nayy's air experts
for 81, 500 900 to begin construction OF
huge dirigible, of more than twice
the capacity of the Los Angeles.
The navys air secretary, Edward P.
Warner, took issue with Coolidge's
recommendations for delay, record
Of hearings on the bill disclosed. Con-
gress last year authorized two dirigi-
bles, but made no appropriation.
Five-Year Program.
The bureau of aeronautics had re-
quested $9,O77,5OO to purchase new
planes. and this amount was cut to
SS,41O 900. Reduction of plane vast
age, however will make possible sub
stantial progress on the program,
which calls for a strength of 1000
planes at the end of five years, the
committee reported.
