The late Richard A. Proctor
noted English astronomer, used
TO tell how an old woman once
begged him TO locate a bundle Of
valuable papers she had lost.
Evidently she mistook him for an
astrologer so, wishing to have a
little fun with her, Proctor drew
a circle. put a square in IT, and
gravely pointed out a ditch near
her cottage, where he said she
must look for her missing papers.
To his utter establishment, short
ly afterward the woman came
back in high spirits to thank him,
with the packet of papers in her
hand found, she said. in that very
place.
Hutton, the English historian,
tells a curious story about his
grandfather. He was serving UNI
der Cromwell in 1647 when, one
day in crossing over st. Mary's
Bridge at Derby, he saw a young
girl standing by the stream filling
her pail with water. Boy-like he
flung a large stone TO brighten

In the hall Of the Episcopal
Palace OF Peterborough, in Eng
land, is preserved under glass the
shell Of a very large tortoise.
Records prove that it sojourned
at Peterborough in the time Of
seven bishops: John Thomas.
1747-1757; Richard Terrick. 1857;
Robert Lamb. 1864; John Hinch-
cliffe, 1869; Spencer MADAM.
1894; John Parsons, 1913, and
Herbert Marsh, 1Sl9-1S39. Be-
side the shell is this description,
which says in part:
1T is we'll ascertained that this
tortoise must have lived two hun
dred and twenty years. Bishop
Parsons had remembered IT for
more than sixty years, and had
not recognized in it any visible
change. 1t ate all kinds Of fruit
and often a pint of gooseberries
at time, but it made the great
est havoc among the strawber-
rics.
1T knew the gardeners well,
and would keep near them when
they were gathering fruit. II
could bear almost any weight
sometimes as much as eighteen
stone was laid upon its back.
About October it used TO bury
itself in a particular spot OF the
garden, at the depth Of one or
two feet, according TO the sever
ity Of the approaching season,
where il would remain without
food until the following April,
when it would emerge from its
hiding place"

Buried In His
WheeIchoir

-HE tomb of Daniel Heard is
one Of the most unusual in
y this country. Situated on
the edge of Maine highway, far
from any cemetery, it consists Of
"A box-shaped vault made of hand
hcwn granite. In this odd tomb,
propped up in a wheel chair, is all
that is mortal of Daniel Heard.
This seemingly strange burial
was at Mr.. Heard's own request.
For many years a helpless cripple
Heard became fondly attached TO
his old wooden wheel chair. When
he knew death was finally going
TO overtake him, he summoned
his family and expressed the wish
that there be no casket but that
he be permitted to repose in the
chair in the center of his burial
place.
His wishes were carried out.
The tomb was erected on his own
farm, located between the towns
of Wells and Sanford. The corpse
was rolled into the vault, and
wheeled about to face the en-
trance. Then the tomb was
sealed. 1t has never been opened.
In appearance the tomb re-
sembles an upright dry goods box
six feet in width and five feet in
height. Plain granite steps such
as might adorn some old home
stead lead up to the entrance.

treated a burn. They held a red-hot

With ten million men soon in the
armed forces, this is what it will take
to feed that many daily: Nine million
pounds meat, million pounds dairy
products, $4,000 pounds cereal, mil
lion pounds vegetables, S million
pounds fruit, other food, four million
pounds.
/ 1t is estimated that it will take
279,537 box cars and 927 ocean
freighters yearly to carry this food
to our soldiers.
Makes you tired just to think of
the work required to produce all that
food-besides the lend-lease and our
own requirements.
Maybe our soldiers get tired too.
The Axis soldier has had several
years training. Our boys have to
acquire training to meet that chal-
lenge in a few months.

It must needs be intensive and
