Rulers Believed in
L Early Working Hours
, The old Emperor Francis Joseph of
Austria used fo leave his bed every
morning at four o'clock, sometimes
even at 3:30. Clad In an old worn
out general's cloak, and on his head
the only correct regulation officer's
‘cap in the entire Austrian army, he
worked until six. He went to bed
every night at eight,
Frederick the Great always began
his day at five, and during the last
few months prior to his death hig
privy councillors had to bring him
their reports at four in the morning.
He consoled them with the remark
that “it would not last much longer.”
Emperor William 1 was at his
desk every morning at seven; whilg
his grandson, the ex-kaiser, when he
came to the throne, always rose be
fore seven. This was a severe tria’
to Prince Bismarck, who hated tq
have to attend in conference on the
sovereign at eight in the morning.
Up till midnight the iron chancellor
generally had a gathering of friendly
politicians about him, then he worked
till four, and slept till ten the fol-
lowing morning.
F lint Axes of Stone
Age Found in Sweden
The 4,500-year-old-stock-in-trade of
a Stone age peddler in flint axes has
béen found by some workmen In a
gravel pit in the Swedish province of
Soedermanland. The peddler’s hoard
consisted of a number of light-gray
flint axes of exquisite shape and work-
manship, evidently hidden in the
ground by the trader, who seems to
have wandered a long way from the
south of Sweden to barter his axes for
the precious furs of the hunters of the
Soendermanland forests. The poor
peddler seems to have met his death,
for he never returned for his axes
that now are said to be the best find
of its kind ever made in that part of
Sweden. vik tree sg

; Couldn’t Hang Murderer
John Lee, the Babbacombe murder-
er, murdered Miss Keyse on Novem-
ber 12, 1884. He was to be exe:
cuted at eight. o'clock February 23,
. 1885, at Exeter gaol. At the first at-
tempt to hang Lee the drop in the
scaffold would not work. The pris-
oner was removed to the prison and
the official tried to remedy the defect.
A second and a third attempt were
made to hang him, but each time the
apparatus would not work. The sheriff
then ordered the execution stopped
pending communication with the home
secretary. It was found later that
rain onthe preceding days had caused
the planks of the drop to swell. At
the time there was much public inter-
est in this case, many ignorant and
superstitious persons claiming that
there had been an intervention by su-
pernatural powers. John Lee was sub-
sequently reprieved ang imprisoned.—

How Youth Studies
The average, or even somewhat bet-
ter than average, male student’s be-
havior when at work on ga thesis is
something like this: A leisurely stroll
to the library, a chat with the girl at
the reserve deésk, an’ apologetic re-
quest for a philosophy book, a few
minutes spent in settling down in the
most comfortable position possible in
a library chair, the counting of the
pages in a chapter, a half-hearted ef-
fort to read three or four pages, a
yawn—and for the remainder of the
aftermoon a semi-whispered conversa.
tion with the girl in the nearest chair.

Nerves Give Off Heat
New researches at Cornell univer
“wity seem to show that an impulse
traveling along a nerve is g high-
speed chemical reaction. It was the
old belief, based on the fact that stim
ulated nerves had never been found to
give off heat, that the nerve impulse
was a sort of electric current. By
using an electric heat-measuring de-
vice capable of recording a tempera-
ture change of one twenty-millionth
of a degree, it was found that a nerve
gives off a minute quantity of heat
when it reacts.

Records of Patriots
There are no complete records of
all soldiers who served in the Amer
Ican Revolution. However, the adju-
tant general's office, War department,
Washington, has the most complete
records which exist.
First Hotel Elevator
The Fifth Avenue hotel in" New
York city installed the first elevator
in 1859. This figured in selecting it as
the hostelry at which the prince of
Wales was entertained in 1860.

Figures on Longevity |.
Many and widespread are the dis-
parities in the longevity of animals,
birds and fishes. Scientists are un-
able to say why some specles live |
many times as long as others, They
have no explanation, for instance, of
the fact that a tiger, a lion or a hip-
popotamus will die of old age long be-
Lore an elephant has reached his
Prime. [vag une Me Citi | mei
An elephant might live to be two
hundred years old. A tiger is old at
twenty years, a lion at twenty-five
years, a hippopotamus at forty years
and a bear at fifty years. A swan can
survive for one hundred years and an
elder duck or a parrot for more than
two hundred years. A tortoise migh?
tive to be three hundred years old.
Insects usually have short lives, but
Some ants have lived in captivity for
fifteen years, Queen bees live from
four to five years, but the bee work-
€rs succumb in six weeks, Carp and
pike sometimes live to be one hundred
and fifty years of age.
Diseases, adverse weather, lack of
‘food and enemies affect nearly all
forms of wild life, so that few ani-
mals die of old age, and the scientist
experiences difficulty in assembling
data as to the natural span of their
Hves.
Take Horrible Risk
in Pursuit of Sport
Savages are as fond of sport as are
civilized peoples, but many of their
games appear to be unduly risky. One
such game is “clam baiting.” played
on the Coral sea. The procedure is
for a man to swim directly over a
giant elam—which may weigh several
hundred pounds—as it lies wide open
on the bottom, waiting to entrap fish
and other food, and drop a stone into
it. This causes the clam to bring its
tremendous serrated “lips” together
with terrific speed, and the danger
lies in the rush of water caused by
this sudden movement sweeping the
man .into the creature's grip, from
which there would be no getting
away. There have been many narrow
escapes and some cases In which the
baltér was caught. But the natives
think it great fun and talk delight-
edly of how they had made the clam
“think he got something to eat when
he only got a stone.”—London Daily
News.

Didn’t Lose His Religion
On the first day of school recently,
Junior, age five, proudly started to
kindergarten. Junior is usually a
rather talkative little chap and his
proud mother was a little surprised
that he had so little to say when he
returned on his first school day.
“Did everything go off all right,
Junior?” she asked, hoping he would
tell her of his experience,
“I got into just a little trouble,”
he answered. “I got into one of the
grownups’ rooms by mistake. Some
one asked me if I was a primary, but
I told them no, I was a Methodist.” — |

The Old Sugar Bowl
In the days when candy was a rare
treat, children clamored for sugar on |!
their bread. A slice of home-made
bread, generously buttered, with a lays
er of sugar on top, would fill every |
longing for sweets.
The sugar bowl, to meet its occa- ;
sions, was tall, with a roundness that i
suggested the girth of an alderman, |
