Queer old-Time Fiddlea

Lord Chesterfield considered 1t be-
meath a gentleman to be seen piping
or fiddling, and advised his son If he
loved music to hear it, to pay fiddlers
to play for him, but never to fiddle
himself. Quite contrary to this adj
vice, 1t was the fancy of certain
fiddler to exercise his musical talent
while Rome burned. But not many
musicians are SO barbarOusly inclined.
The fiddles used In the Tenth century
at the fairs and merrymakings Of the
Anglo-Saxons are probably representa-
lions of those queer-looking stringed
instruments cut upon the stone Of the
Egyptian and Grecian monuments, or
of the long pattern monochords which
have existed In India from prehistoric
times. according to some commenta-
tors, though 1t Is usually conceded
that the fiddle dates back to Egyptian
times.

j. F. Dalton, trGnsmitter develop
ment engineer, demonstrates use OF
the "s0hsspegdng telephone"
This transmitter. which was orig.
inally developed for use in radio tele-
phone systems and In aircraft, coast
guard, and fire boat communication,
has been found suitable for this pur-
pose.
The equipment, as described in the
Bell Laboratories Record, differs in
appearance from the regular desk
stand transmitter In having instead Of
a regular mouthpiece, rather wide
opening covered by a protective graf
ing. The diaphragm is formed Of
duralumin, which is a metal used in
other telephone equipment, notably the
handset type Of instrument.
Laboratory scientists also developed
the artificial larynx, another instru-
ment now being used extensively by
persons who have been deprived Of
their vocal cords as a result Of sur
gical operations.

Spaniards Misled as to
New Worlds Gold Store

The gold which so infamed the
imagination of Spain when Columbus
returned from his first voyage to the
New world probably was mined by the
Indians in Haiti, says DR.. Herbert w.
Krieger, curator of ethnology Of the
United States National museum, who
headed an expedition conducting an
exploration Of Indian sites on that
island.
Actually, he says, gold was scarce.
The natives gave the Spaniards false
impression by hammering it into thin
plates which then were shaped into
objects Of personal adornment. They
had discovered, he says, an alloy of
gold and copper-known as pale
gold"-which was used for lance heads.
Ornaments Of gold plate were worn In
the ears and nose and suspended about
the neck.
Gold mining, Krieger says, was very
primitive. A hole was dug In the
sand. the nuggets extracted and then
beaten into thin plates with stone
hammers. :.

Sugar and Insanity in
Bond of Relationship


There is a relation between sugar
and melancholy.
Investigations reported by DR.. P. K.
MCGOWAN in the British Medical Jour
nal, Lancet, show that in certain types
Of insanity the amount of blood sugar
above the normal Is closely associated
with the depth of the depression.
Doctor MCGOWAN has devised a tech
nique for measuring the ''hyperglycae-
fc index" as a measure of abnormal
blood content and believes that 1t has
some diagnostic value. Thus a pa
tient who apparently had recovered
from depression would not be re-
leased while the blood sugar remained
too high. In insane states character
lied by extreme excitement, he found,
there is little abnormality In this re-
spect.
Sometimes depressed patient will
be found, he reported, who has low
blood sugar index. This is bad sign
and greatly diminishes the likelihood
Of recovery
The sugar increase in depression,
he says. is secondary phenomenon
Incidental to body changes that ac-
company emotion.

Spectacles

The invention of spectacles has been
claimed for Roger Bacon about 1880
by Doctor Plot, but they are gener.
ally supposed to have been invented by
Alessandro de Spina, Florentine
monk, in 1885. However, Manni credits
Salvino, who died in 1917 with their
invention, and the claim is justified by
the inscription on his tombstone which
reads: "Qui giace Salvino degli Ar
matt, inventore degli occhiali; Dec gil
perdoni lie peccata"-Here lies Salvino
Of Armati. inventor Of spectacles;
God pardon his SINS"
Friar Jordan de Rivalto, In a sermon
delivered by him in 1905. told his audi
tors that ut is not twenty years since
the art of making spectacles was found
out, and is indeed one of the best and
most necessary inventions in the
world" This puts the date of the In
vention at 12S5.-Literary Digest.

WHOEVER originally remarked
w that 'it never rains but it
pours" must have had in mind
those showers for engaged girls
which pour a lot Of useless trifles
for which the restricted space. of
love-in-a-cottage Is pressed to pro-
vide room. When there are SO
many things bride is going to
really need, and especially now
when we are just coming out of
the depression period, why, oh
why, give brides an over-abun-
dance Of chiffon handkerchiefs
and bon-bon dishes?
Do we brand ourselves as pro-
sale, utilitarian and thoroughly
unromantic when we suggest a
kitchen shower? There are two
alibis: one that the brides kit
chen should rightfully be one Of
the most enchanting hooks in the
whole house; and two, that the
kitchen, since 1t is all dressed up,
has stepped into the social whirls
to the extent that kitchen parties
are now quite the thing.

Hunger March, Started
Revolution in France

In France the great revolution be-
gan with the arrival In Paris during
July. 1889. Of thousands of "hunger
pilgrims from the provincial towns,
James Waldo Fawcett writes, In the
Washington Post. They had marched
to the capital to demand bread Of the
king. 1t was these riotous elements
which Joined with the city mob to take
the Bastille on July a. BY October
the swollen population of the metro
politan area was starving. The mu-
nicipality endeavored to supply bread
to the more necessitous people, but the
demand was too great to be met In this
way. On October 8 a delegation Of
women set out for Versailles to Pc
tition Louis XVI. AS they marched
they were Joined by multitudes of 9TH
er women. Arriving at their goal they
increased their originally mild de-
mands.
The "insurrection of women" was
promptly followed by similar march
to Versailles Of the men Of Paris led
by the National Guard. The arrival Of
La Fayette saved the royal family for
the moment, but the king was forced
to return to Paris, accompanied by the
mob. On January 81, 1893. he was
executed. The French revolution was
"a marching revolution" from first to
last, and in the end Napoleon Bona
parte was directing the marches.

"Dime" From the Latin

'Dime" is derived from the Latin
"decem" meaning 10. or "decimus,"
one-tenth. explains Pathfinder Maya
zine. In the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
centuries "dime" was applied in Eng
land to the 1.-THE or tenth part Of ones
income paid to the church. Accord
ing to the King James version Of the
Bible, the last part Of Genesis Il 20
reads. "He gave him tithes of ALL"
John Wyclif translated this passage,
"He gave him dymes Of allie thingis."
The American 10-cent piece was called
a dime because 1t represents the tenth
part of a dollar, the national monetary
unit.

Hog Cholera In State During
February

Hog cholera was reported on 10
premises in Maryland in February,
compared with an average of II out
breaks for this period during the
last 10 years. Seven were classed
as backyard outbreaks, and 8 were
on farms where hogs are bred and
raised. All were classed as pri-
mary, or new outbreaks. Only s of
the % counties reported outbreaks
of cholera.
Frederick an Woscester had 2
outbreaks each; Anne Arundel, Car
roll, Charles, Howard, Somerset and
Washington had / each. Feeding
table scraps containing infected
bones, rinds and scraps of pork APP
parently was the cause of s out
breaks. One was caused by feeding
raw garbage to susceptible hogs, and
another was due to loose, sick hogs
rowing in the neighborhoud.
In the 10 outbreaks reported, 1872
hogs were involved. Twenty-eight,
or approximately % per cent. of
these hogs were dead, and AZ, or ap-
proximately 38 per cent, were sick
before the outbreaks were reported +.
From past experience, it is estimated
that nearly so per cent. of the total
number were lost. If care had been
taken to exclude from the diet
materials that might possibly start
an outbreak of cholera, few, if any,
outbreaks would have occurred.

Chancellor Must Guard
Great Seal Of England

Great In meaning and great in pow.
err, the Great Seal Of England is yet,
comparatively, small thing. Made Of
silver-a metal easy to clean-it is
about seven inches in diameter and
weighs IL pounds. The lord chancel-
Tor Is its custodian and responsible for
its safety. and it lies within his dis
erection to keep it where he thinks fit.
In days gone by those In whose
custody it lay have spent anxious mo-
ments. Lord Chancellor Eldon, in the
reign of George III, used to sleep with
1t under his pillowl One night his
house caught fire and he buried it in
his garden for safety. Next day he
had forgotten where he had hidden 1t
and could not recall for some time.
Whenever a new Great Seal Is in-
troduced a special ceremony takes
place. They new seal Is sent from the
mint to the king. The lord chancellor,
notified of this by writ, takes the old
Great Seal to the palace and hands It,
in two halves, to the king. The latter
taps 1t three times with a small, egg.
shaped hammer, thus defacing the
seal. which Is of very soft metal. The
old seal then becomes the perQuisite Of
the chancellor. In modern times It
has become customary for him to send
One-half to his predecessor in office, as
an act Of courtesy.-New York Times

Lewes TO Celebrate Landing
OF Dutch

The Lewes Delaware, tercentenary
Commission plan for the observance
ON Saturday, May Z, of the 3OOth
anniversary of the settling Of the
Dutch at Lewes.
The dedication of the replica of the
Town Hall at Hoorn, Holland, will
be among the features of the cele-
bration to take place at Lewes. 1t
was from Hoorn that the Dutch ex-
petition, led by Peter DeVries, sail
ed, landing in Lewes in 1882 and
settling there.
E. William Martin, Wilmington
architect, journeyed to Holland,
where he studied the architecture of
the old Town Hall at Hoorn. The
.Lewes building is an exact copy of
the building in Holland.
The commission appointed by the
Governor, under authority of the
Legislature, to celebrate the first
white settlement in the State of Del
aware, has completed the erection of
the memorial building at Lewes.
It proposes to establish in this
building an historical museum, which
will serve, for the counties of Kent
and Sussex particularly, the same
use as is now served by the Histori-
cal Society building in Wilmington.
