In the barrel type you will find a screw on the under side of the lamp rim. Re- move this and the rim that holds the lens in place will come loose at the bottom.

Also there the well- known signal of the Roman ampi- theater: thumbs up for life and thumbs down for death, in the case of the vanquished gladiator. From the dedication of the thumb to Venus we get the idea of love as connected with the thimble of the unmarried woman and the idea that If she brings her thimble to the table she will be a widow, has evidently to do with the thumb's connection with human life, Bringing the thimble to the table Js evidently a “thumbs down” signal for the future husband. Just why is not so evident unless we may suppose that removing the thimble and placing it on the table Is symbolic of separa- tion or sacrifice; or, perhaps, a part of some forgotten ritual having to do with the thumb, The old maid super- stitlon with regard to the thimble has a like origin with the widow super. stition of which It is merely a variant, (® by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
