Lost Chord" Dear to
Heart of Compose,

Arthur Sullivan sketched out the
complete setting of 1.-THE Lost
Chord while he sat by the death
bed of his brother, Frederic. 1t
was his last composition for many
months. The song, when published.
swept the world, and the inevitable
penalty of popularity followed-it
was parodied, to Sullivan's disgust.
He wrote to the parodist:
81 wrote The Lost Chord in sor-
row at my brother Fred's death.
Don't burlesque it."
Sullivan gave one of his manu-
script copies of 'The Lost Chord"
those scrubbed notes that had
come from the depth of his suffer-
ing-tO his lifelong friend, Mrs.
Ronalds, a famous American hostess
living in London. She was a very
gifted amateur singer and Sullivan
openly said that she alone brought
tears to his eyes with his own
notes. Mrs. ROnalds' rendition of
"The Lost Chord" was famous.
King Edward-then prince of Wales
once remarked that he would
travel the length of his future king
dom to hear Mrs. Ronalds sing

script was, by her instructions,

Odd PolDer of South
American Vampire Bat

In his story of his explorations I'm
South America, DR.. William Meow
ern has something to tell us about
the dreaded vampire bat.
Bats are not believed to possess
any saliva which could act as q To-
cal anesthetic; and yet it is fact
that they can insert their long teeth
and suck out the blood of their VIC
tins without awakening them. Not
single case is known in which q
sleeper has awakened while the
vampires were at their work. It
is also very curious that the bats
never attack person who Is
awake, however silent and notion
less he may be.
He writes Interestingly of the
Amazonian medicine men.
The Indian medicine men are no
doubt charlatans in many respects,
but many of them are certainly pos
sessed of really remarkable powers.
They appear to know a great deal
more than most Europeans about
massage, and they are unquestiOn-
ably acquainted with the nature
and use of many strange herbs,
drugs and poisOns. 1t is also high
ly probable that these men ara
more than specifically acquainted
with the principles of hypnotism.

Find Canoe Belonging
to Are of Bronze

A boat, tied to it's landing wharf
for 5000 years, has been found
buried under six feet of peat in an
ancient bog in upper Suabia, ac-
ceeding to DR.. Oscar Paret, a Stutt-
CART archeolOgist. It is a dugOut
canoe about fifteen feet long, hol-
lowed out of the trunk of a giant
oak. The sides, Doctor Paret says.
were shaved down to a surprising
thinness. Several paddles were
found in 1t. A number of earthen
vessels and bronze objects found in
the turf around it date the boat
as of the Bronze age, about 1000
B. c., contemporary with the siege
OF Troy and the reign Of Solomon
In Jerusalem.
The boat was found at the end of
one of three long wharves which
ran back to the vicinity of the re-
mains Of number Of houses. Ap-
parently there was once q village
on the edge Of the bog, on solid
ground separated from the open
water Of the lake by a wide
marshy margin, which could be
crossed only by these causeways.
When the village site was aban-
doned, the vegetation In the bog
and the lake continued to grow I'm
til the lake disappeared and the
pfling up Of the dead leaves and
stems buried all the works of the
ancient men who lived there and
used to go fishing in their dugout
canoes.

Scorched Feet, but
Squirrel Got Nuts

This may not be the time of year
for nature stories, but here's one
already made. The little girl and
her brother had tanned a squirrel.
Every morning he came to their
house for breakfast of some sort.
One day the little girl started to
market and the squirrel compan-
fonably went along with her. Into
the very store he scrambled after
her, much to the amusement and
surprise of the proprietor, and Of
the customers.
They began to throw nuts for the
little fellow and he scrambled after
them eagerly. A poorly aimed shot
suddenly went into the wide-open
door of the low stove and like a
flash the little animal Jumped In
after it. There was a yell of dis
may from the onlookers and they
started to the squirrels aid, but
he deftly jumped out again, his feet
scorched, but otherwise seemingly
not much hurt by his Jump onto
live coals.-Springfeld Union.

"Small and Select"

Chess, it has beer observed, is
played by fewer people and in
more countries than is any other
game. Although this-perhaps the
oldest of games-appeals to indi-
viduals in nearly every race under
the sun, yet the number of its
devotees is comparatively small. A
small but select company of adj
herents would doubtless add:
One can, of course, play Eat"
chess without much effort; but to
be really first-rate player calls for
infinite patient application. Great
Britain is always thought of as a
chess-playing nation; yet, according
to recent calculation, only about
one in every thousand Britishers Is
a chess player.

Many Accorded Fame
They Had Not Earned

The popular belief that Watt was
led to invent the steam engine by
observing the effect of steam on
the kettle lid was described as a
myth by Prof. E. N. de G. Andrade
in a lecture to children on EN-
gines" at the Royal institution,
London.
Actually, he said, Watt, as an
instrument maker, was asked to re-
pair the model of a Newcomer en-
CINE, and by his examination of
this he was led to design a more
efficient and economical steam en-
CINE, in which steam, having been
expanded to low pressure in other
parts of the engine, did work by
virtue of the partial vacuum Gre
ated by a condenser. 1t was that
principle which was applied in ev-
cry economical reciprocating or
turbine engine of today.
Many other famous discoveries
have been called in question, and
the claims of inventors and scien-
lists dispelled by the explosion Of
similar popular myths surrounding
their work.
There was a heated controversy
as to whether George Stephenson
or Sir Humphrey Davy was the
first to invent the miners safety
lamp. When the admirers of Davy
in 1917 presented him a service of
plate those of Stephenson coun-
tered with an address and gift of
f1,OO0 in 1918. Henry Bell, the
Scottish engineer who placed the
first ship, the Comet, on the Clyde
in 1912, had to concede priority for
the invention to Robert Fulton, an
American engineer.

lnstructing the Blind

The first thought and purpose Of
building up special institutions for
the instruction of the blind seem
to have occurred to benevolent per-
sons in New England, New York
and Pennsylvania almost simulta-
neously. The New York Institution
for the Blind was incorporated
April %, 1881. On March Is, 1882,
DR.. John D. Russ began the edu-
cation Of three pupils. The prog
ress of the school was at first slow
for want of an efficient head to d.
rect its affairs. The Pennsylvania
institution, which Is now one of the
foremost in the world, was found.
ed in 1888. Subsequently other
schools were opened in the various
states.

Magpie's Many Virtues

The maybe, which is: quite COM
mon on the plains and mountains

qualities and as many bad ones. AS
an insect eater the maybe sur
passes the crow and ans other men,
.bers of the same family. Destruc-
tive weevils, caterpillars and
grasshoppers characterize it's insect
food, which forms nearly SO per
cent Of its diet. The maybe also
eats, a limited number Of small ro-
dents, and as a carrion feeder It
does additional good. The maybe
has, however, some outstanding
faults. It is guilty of the destruc-
ton Of poultry and beneficial wild
birds and their eggs, and at times
becomes a pest on the cattle ranch
by it's attacks on sick, injured or
weak live stock. There are times
when the birds gather in, such large
numbers that it becomes necessary
to kill off some of them.

RernoUe Wet Garments

All of US at some time or other
get caught in a rainstorm, fall into
water, get our feet wet in rainy
weather, etc. These occasional
"soakings' are harmless, if the
right thing is done afterward. DR..
r. S. Copeland says getting wet
does no more harm than taking q
bath, if you do not stay in the wet
garments. This, he points out, is
particularly true of wet shoes. His
advice is: Don't stay in wet gar
ments. Get out of them into dry
clothing. If you feel chilled after
exposure, it is important to restore
the circulation. The best way to do
that is to take a good hot bath and
go to bed.-Pathfnde Magazine.

Time to Be Cautious

The commonly accepted explana-
ton of the saying, Beware of

tious in trusting persons who in
troduce their proposals or requests
with gifts. The origin of the say
ing is matter of dispute, but it is
traced by some authorities to Vir-
gil's statement, Aeneid, II 49, II
fear the Greeks, even when they
bring gifts" Presumably this re-
ferred to the wooden horse strata
