Crasshopper Vane Not
OriqinaI With Fnneuil

1t is generally conceded that when
Peter Faneuil caused a large grass
hopper to be placed on top of Faneuil
hall In Boston as a weathervane, he
did 1t In emulation of Thomas Ores.
ham, who 176 years before had given
his home city, London. a handsome
bourse for merchants, dedicated by
Queen Elizabeth as the Royal Ex-
change and crowned by the Gresham
family crest, a gilded grasshopper. The
grasshopper had been adopted for a
crest by the Greshams obviously be-
cause the name Gresham is regarded
as a corruption of the German word
for grasshopper. "grassheim." Faneuil
undoubtedly had seen the London
grasshopper and liked 1t, so he chose
1t for the building he gave to Boston.
The Faneuil hall grasshopper has
fallen to the street three times in its
1876 years existence, onc in the famous
1855 earthquake, again In 1761 when
the building was burned, and finally In
1889, as a result Of getting entangled
with the flagpole halliards. After the
1855 tumble a demolished leg had to
be replaced, and In 1889 new glass
eyes, as well as horns and feet were
required.-Detroit News.

Arkansas Cotton Gin
One of Earliest Made

Rambling about the Ozark noun
tains, an artist Of Little Rock, Ark,
discovered an ancient cotton gin, said
to be n hundred years old and one
of the oldest of its tribe. Construct
ed on the same principle as the roller
gin and other more modern improve
ments, this historic ginning device diff
fers from later structural variations
only in capacity. 1t literally repre-
sents the infancy of cotton ginning.
Its construction Is that of a box with
out a top. One end Is open, while
the other end Is fitted ingeni0usly
with two rollers, one on top Of the
other. Between these cylinders the
cotton was fed by hand. The oppo-
site or eccentric motion of the half
inch hickory rollers, which are fitted
so closely as to gin the cotton, Is Sc
cured by the betting of the wheels on
each side of the open end with the
wheels at the ginning end.
Turning Of a wooden handle at the
open end fitted to one of the wheels
operates the device. The wheels are
bigger at the open end of the box
and are connected to the smaller
drum by cotton cords.

Work of Locksmiths
ENCOURAGED BY Kings

The evolution of the lock In France
may be traced in great part to the d.
rect encouragement given to the craft
by her kings. 1t was Charles VIII who
In l411 made 1t compulsory for every
locksmith apprentice who aimed at be-
coming a master to produce a "chef
d'oeuvre" lock of such degree that II
would entail anything from n year
TO two In the making. The delicate
and intricate examples that are treas
ured in museums are mostly drawn
from the test pieces, none OF which
however, bears the name of the smith,
though the majority are sufficiently In
teresting to merit a signature. The
forge had little connection with such
locks and zone was cast In the rough.
Great is the ingenuity brought to bear
on them in order to display some hith-
erto unexpected device or to break
some fresh ground in ornament. For
strong boxes there were contrived
locks that are q miracle of i%ntricacy.
Under Francois |, an enthusiastic
patron of tire locksmith, the craft
reached its summit, whence 1t was
then to decline, If not In respect of
elaboration, at least In respect oftrue
beauty and feeling. Under Louis XIII,
who was so keen a lover Of fine iron
work that he himself toiled at the
forge and In the workshop, the lock
excelled In point of mechanism and In
genuity, but rapidly deteri0rated from
the esthetic standpoint. 1t had reached
the point where the production of puz-
zle and Letter locks began to take pre-
cedence of locks that represented com
| positions of real artistic quality.

The "SeUen Seas"

Col. G. e. Gerini In his Researches
on Ptolemy's Geography of Eastern
Asia" traces the expression seven
seas" back to Indian and Chinese leg
end. From the "Puranas" Colonel
Gerini has made the following list Of
seven seas: Sea of Salt Water, sur
rounds India; Sea Of Sugar Cane
Juice, surrounds Burma; Sea Of Wine.
surrounds the Malay Peninsula; Sea
Of Clarified Butter. surrounds the Sun
da archipelago; Sea Of Milk, sur
rounds Siam and Cambodia; Sea Of
Curds and Whey, surrounds southern
China; Sea of Fresh Water, surrounds
northern China and Mongolia. 1t Is
apparent, therefore, that the idea of
the eve seas is OF considerable an
tiquity and the original list may be
older.

forced for untold generations to move
about from place to place in search

Whale Once High in
FAVOR as a Delicacy

The scientists who returned from
the Antarctic In the famous Discovery
after two years investigation into
the secrets of the whales life-have
been more interested In what the
whale eats than In the whale itself
as an article Of food. Yet, at one
time in England, the flesh of the
whale was esteemed a luxury and al
ways appeared in the menus at royal
banquets.
The whale, the sturgeon, and the
porpoise were, in fact, regarded as
royal fish, to which private individ-
uals had no right except by special
grant from the crown. Even then,
some portion was often reserved for
the king.
The tongue of the porpoise, like
caviare, was considered a special del
icacy, and when Henry Whose
death from a surfeit Of lampreys
shows him to have been an epicure
where fish was concerned-granted
the bishop of London the right to all
porpoises taken on his territory, he
specially excepted 1.-The tongue, which
| have retained for myself"
The whale and the ~porpoise are not
the only fish which have been eclipsed
by the vagaries Of taste. The her
ring, too, which is said to be now
waning rapidly In favor, was not In
early days considered too cheap 9
dish to set before a king. The city
of Norwich used to render annually
to the king "a pies of the first fresh
herrings of the season.-London Tit

CITIZENS TOF|GHT
HIGHER CAR ARES
Federation Plans Action at
Retaliation Hearings
in Fall.

Vigorous resistance against increased
street car fares and gas rates was
pledged by the public utilities commit
tee of the Federation of Citizens As
sociations, which met last night to map
out a course of action for the series
of hearings TO be held this Fall by the
