Look Before You Leap. A novice^was braving the Dart mouth ski-jump. He shot down the incline, lurched weakly at the take off, landed face downward below and finished the slide, nose first, plowing into the snow smother. “You Jumped too late, Joe!” yelled an enthusiast. “Naw”—from the smother below—“I Jumped too soon.

VESSELS BUILT IN SECTIONS Elderly Lady Discovered She Had Made Wrong Choice of Her Resting Position, f It is hard sometimes for the old and the young to arrive at a common point of understanding. The old lady and the Sunday school boy li^thia story did finally arrive at an understanding, but not until the boy had suffered damage to his feelings, if not to his possessions. \ A picnic was in progress, and the benevolent and elderly lady took much enjoyment in witnessing the delight of the children who were disporting them selves in her grounds. She went from one to another, say ing a few kind words to each. Pres ently she seated herself on a grass plot beside Dickie, a little boy with golden curls and an angelic expression. But as soon as he observed her sitting beside him Dickie set up an ear-pierc ing howl. “Have you the stomach-ache?” she asked, anxiously. “No, I ain’t.” snapped Dickie. “Perhaps you would like some more cake.” “No!” roared the angelic child.

I i They were sitting in the half-dark- ■ ness of the picture tlieater, .holding j hands. They were very small, pale, j and insignificant. He was “something ; in the city.” she was tlie same thing i in the female “line.” The stirring drama upon the screen was “The Queen and the Duke.” “Ain’t he a wonderful man?” ap plauded the girl. “I could die for a man like that—a tall, dark, handsome man, the kind that is bom to rule. I don’t see how she can resist him!” Then he had his say: “Ain’t she a wonderful queen? That’s the sort I like—the tall, stately woman that can look you over like a worm and go trailing them silk robes round and granting her favors with a cold, proud smile ^upon her beautiful lips.” “Really, Jack!” “No, Sue; I was only joking!” And they held each other’s hands a little tighter, and the screen lost its interest for at least two more in the crowded picture house. Ships Intended for Operation on Lakea Far Inland Are Now Trans ported Piecemeal. A well-kno^ shipbuilding firm ill the norih of England is at the present time building a vessel which will be carried to Africa in portions. It will be re-assembled at its ultimate desti nation. Every year ships are built in Great 3ritain for use oii lakes aud inland waters in ail parts of the world. Usu ally these are built and bolted togeth er in the shipyard before being taken to pieces and sent to distant parts in st'iJiirate pjielrtges. A large mission steamer built some years ago for use on Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was erected in England as If for launching. But no rivets were used; bolts and nuts held the steel framework together. The sides, port and starboard, were painted in diflfer- ent colors, and every bar, plate, and piece of steelwork bore a different number and letter. Thus the builders in Africa could tell at a glance whether a plate be longed to one side or the other; the exact position it was intended to OO: ciipy was denoted by the reference number and letter. In order to facilitate transport, this steamer was divided into^'^ver three thousand packages, each of which vv-eighed from half a hundredweight to five hundredweights. The greatest difficulty encountered In sending these ships abroad is with the boilers and masts. The boilers weigh many tons, and the masts are difllcult to handle on account of tlieir length. BELONGED TO FAMOUS MAN Chair Once Used by Primate Bramhall Restored to Place in Cathe* drol at Armagh. An ancient chair which was dedi cated recently at Armagh (Ireland) cathedral by the primate was a great find, being the oak chair be longing to Primate Bramhall, who came into office shortlj" after Crom well’s time. For many years efforts have been made to trace the chair, but it was only a f»-\v weeks ago that it was discovered to be in the hands of a well-known London expert. The chair was submitted to a famous anti quarian who at once identified it, with the result that it has returned to its original home—the cathedral. At the top of the chair is carved a large eye —the all-seeing eye; beneath It a crown after a miter, and under that the arms of the See of Armagh. Un der this is the true cross, and below it again IGOl—the date on which Archbishop Bramhall»was enthroned. On the last panel are the capital let ters, standing for Armagh. To Honor Noted Frenchman. The French Academy of Sciences has been ofticially informed that Switzer land is preparing to commemorate the centenary of the great French me chanician and watchmaker, Abraham Louis Breguet. Born in Neufchatel In 1747, member of the Institut and Bu reau ()f Longitudes, he died in Paris in 3823. The astronomical and nautical instruments? invented by Breguet were noted for the perfection of tluer work manship. His improvements in watches included the use of rubies in pivot holes. He fled to London dur ing the Heign of Terror, but returned after the ninth Thermidor. On the oc casion of this centenary the Swiss coun<‘il of state will hold next year an inti'riiationai competition for chrono- met(‘rs in the oi)servatory of Neuf chatel. Gone Beyond Repair. I was returning on the electric train late one day from a long hike with my geology class. We were tired, and in getting our seats I pushed with my foot the back of the seat in front so that we could face each oflier. I heard a crash, and with dismay saw I had knoclced to the floor a bag which was on the seat. The owner promptly appeared on the scene with what seemed to me undue anxiety. I aiK)logized for my act, adding that no harm seemed to have been dona to his bap. His perturbation was explained when he announced in a loud voice, “Young majv there are eggs in that bag!”—ExchangiB. King Admires Shakespeare, The king of Siam is one of the out spoken admirers of Shakespeare. This was learned through the recent anni versary celebrations at Stratford, when a letter was received by the chair man of the trustees of Shakespeare’s birthplace, written ,by the king’s secretary, who says that the king ia tmnshiting Shakespeare’s works into Siamese. The secretary sent on be half of the king a check for $500 as a personal contribution to the Shake speare Birthplace Trust and $250 foi the memorial theater fund. He says that his majesty is an ardent admlrei of the British national poet and is do ing his utmost to induce the Siamese to study lum. Harmony of Colors. It is a well-known fact that a pleas ing harmony of colors attracts the eye much as musical harmony pleases tlie ear. In order to test the bar- niony of color combinations, a ma* chine has been devised, described and Illustrated in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, with which a colored di^ is revolved rapidly so as to cause th« colors to merge, and this visual mix ing of the colors gives the same result to the eyo as woulrt the actual mixing * i of the colored inks themselves.
