Famous Gifts to the Public
Several of the most highly admired
buildings and most imposing ruins In
Home are actually gifts made to the
public by undent citizens. Out of
them all I may cite the Pantheon, that
marvelous 1'nnthcon, which we all
still admire In the heart of Home, tho
monument which stands deathless
whilo the stream of ages flows by.
This was constructed by Agrlppa, the
friend of Augustus, at his own expense
and can be compured In this respect
to Carnegie hall In New York. Agrlp
pa built the Pnntheon from the same
notions of civic zeal that Impelled
Carnegie to endow New York with his
great hull. And the two monuments
built by the personal munificence of
two ultrawealthy citizens, with an In
terval of 20 centuries between them,
express the same desire to extend to
the whole people u share In the en
joyment of the donor's private fortune.

The steamer Lucia, which was struck by an enemy torpedo on October
17, was the last American vessel to lie reported n victim of Gorman sul
marines. The Lucia, which was equipped with bouynney boxes designed to
make her unslnkable, kept afloat for nearly 24 hours. The destroyers Fairfax
and Huntington went to the rescue of the Ill-fated vessel. The upper photo
graph shows the sinking of the Lucia, with the Inst boatload of survivors
leaving. The lower photograph shows a inotorbont of the Huntington arriving

WORTH REMEMBERING
Dried white mulberry Is one of the
principal articles of food In Afghan
istan. The Japanese lover presents to his
sweetheart a beautiful silk sash In
stead of an engagement ring.
A folding rack that can he attached
to an oil or gas stovo has been Invent
ed for drying small articles of cloth
lag. The French 'Academy of Sciences
has created a new department to con
sider the application of science to In
dustry. There nre more than 200 specimens
of silk-producing Insects, though very
few of these lire of nny practical value
to mankind.
A new automobile bumper can be
locked to the front wheels of a car to
prevent theft.
A great deal of oil made from to

In olden times, when men kissed,
each took hold of the other's beard

A new typewriter of light weight Is

Tumblers for cold drinks that nre
made of Ice and provided with paper

After Mr. Temporary'! Experience
With the Formidable "System" He
Preferred to Pay fqa Anything
That He Might Require.
I wanted a wire paper clip. Mls
8mlth, also new to the ministry, salO
she would fetch some from the store
keeper. That's what started the mat
ter. I pinned the loose papers to
gether and went on with my work.
The storekeeper had evidently re
fused to part with any clips without
an order. Miss Smith brought me a
printed folder containing a request for
"paper clips, wiro," which she had
typed In triplicate on puper headed
"Ministry of Economy. For dopiirti
mental use only." She said It was the
right thing to do and I was to sign it,
and then Mr. Jones, downstairs, would
deal with It. It sounded quite Inno
cent; I Initialed It without mlsglvng.
Later In the week the folder caiiio
back. It contained several extra
sheets of paper and hud evidently
iraveieu.
The first minute was from Mr.
Jones: "In reference to Mr. Tem
porary's request for paper clips, wire,
for departmental use, I fall to see
what advantage these have over paper
clips, brass, which are In use In my
department."
Mr. Robinson said that the question
opened a wide Held, and ho had re
quested the storekeeper to let him
know how many paper clips, brass, ho
had In stock. "See attached sheets A
and Al." These were a formal request
to the storekeeper, and his reply, to
say he had 37 one-gross boxes on hand
and one box, partly opened, which ho
estimated to contain CO. If the exact
number was required he would have
the clips counted.
Mr. Short pointed out that his col
leagues had not noticed that the mat
ter was one which came within the
province of the ministry of wire draw
ing. He had consequently put through
a request for a price at which paper
cHps, wire, could be supplied, lie at
tached a carbon copy of his letter, and
a reply from the applied wire depart
ment, ministry of wire drawlnc. to
sny the matter was receiving attention
and would be dealt with In due time.
The next minute was from a gentle
man who had evidently set the vnst
machinery of the directorate of ofllce
supplies and sundries at work. At
tached were papers from them to say
they hud paper clips, wire, as well as
paper clips, brnss, In stock. Thev
wished to be certain that no change
In design was necessary, and were
sending, by motor, samples of the pa
per clips (wire) they had In stock, as
perhaps one or other might prove suit
able.- Appended were other papers of
which tho first was from tho chief of
the departmental garage to say he had
a motor at Huntingdon awaiting u con
signment of paper. He had Instructed
tho driver to return at once. On his
arrival ho would dispatch goods as
requested. . . .
At tills point Miss Smith entered:
"Will you make out an order for a
typewriter eraser?"
"No," I answered firmly. "You will
please give this dime to ono of the
messenger girls and ask her to go out

"I Like Gravy."
At a recent dinner party that Includ
ed the little folic In their high chairs,
the guests fell to talking of that cus
tom of tho dark ages making chil
dren wait until the second table.
"When I was n little shaver," said
a prominent attorney, "my brother and
I were holding forth In the kitchen.
Twlco tho gravy bowl had boon re
filled. The third time It was returned
to tho dining room my brother stuck
his head through the door and yelled:
"Don t eat up ull the gravy. I like
gravy."
Looking Ahead.
A buby boy arrived one morning.
Hunter, three years old, had been '
given two billy goats fur his last birth
day. That morning his father said:
"Now Hunter, you don't need two
goats, Bupposo you give your little
brother one. What do you say 7" Hunt
er didn't say anything for a minute,
then ho said : "Father, I've been think
ing It over, and I've decided maybe
I'd better save that goat for my own
little boy."
Not Really Sardines.
A largo proportion of the so-called
sardines taken along the Atlantic
coast of this country and Canada are
not true sardines but are the young
of the herring and menhaddeu. They
are prepared In about the same way
as true European sardines, however,
and It would puzzle some of the most
experienced epicures to distinguish
the spurious from the genuine.
