HERES JO THE BOY
WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES
EVERY ONE OF rflM
Umbrella Saved Them
While the gastronomic feats are in
your mind listen to this tale of a
French cook She was JIme Dubrat
of the Rue du Dragon who was walk
ing one day near the Seine when Mme
Jallini a dressmaker fell into the
river from the Quai Alalaquais In
jumped a man but he came near to
drowning himself as the current bore
them away when lime Dubrat the
cook came to the spot lime Dubrat
carried a big green umbrella and open
ing it in she jumped She went bo
bing off on the river holding the green
chute and grasping the man and he
the girl she pulled the whole clammy
caravan to the bank Mme Dubrats
green umbrella saved the day and the
cook of the Rue du Dragon is the hero
ine of Paris She is to get a medal
from the prefect of police
Playing with a Boy
Last summer the cyclone that
passed over a portion of Alabama
found a boy named Albert
Horsford driving along the highway in
a buggy He heard and saw the storm
coming but could not get out of its
way He remembers being picked up
and whirled round and round and the
next thing he knew he was in the
river and hanging to the horses tail
The horse and boy landed on the
bank but when the buggy and the gro
ceries in it were searched for they
could not be found The harness had
been blown off the horse and the
boys hat and coat were gone and he
says he doesnt like that sort of play
mate The same rush of wind landed
a cow in a treetop and in struggling
to get down and see what it was all
about she fell and broke her back
IN
Just a Few Items Recorded in One
Days News Prove the Good Qual
ities in the American Lads
Makeup
Boys just ordinary everyday boys
They dont seem to amount to so
much Big sisters would like to have
them kept out of the way when their
callers are In the parlor and mother
often feels like inviting them to trans
fer their operations of Indian scalp
ing and building dams and railroads
to some other boys mothers back
yard and father seems to be the only
one that really believes in the boys
But watch them carefully and you
will see that there are wonderful pos
sibilities in every one of them writes
Carolyn Prescott in the Chicago Amer
ican See how carefully the boy plans
his actions and watch him in case of
an emergency and I tell you the boy
is always there or as he says he is
Johnny on the spot
In just one issue of a daily paper
I happened to find enough news re
garding boys to convince me that the
world would be a pretty poor place
to live in were it not for them
Just one day of 24 hours and here
are a few things that one Pittsburg
paper had to say about the boys of
western Pennsylvania
A boy has just returned from Ox
ford university where he received
honors in the legal department six
of the eight honor men being from
the United States which fact by the
way is being widely commented upon
by the educators of the British isles
But theres nothing surprising in
the fact that the American boys out
strip their English cousins is there
In a neighboring Ohio town a boy
and a colored boy at that held his
father at bay after he had pounded
his wife into insensibility and finally
shot him this being the only way in
which he could save his mothers life
A small boy aged ten years jumped
from a boat to recover a bucket that
had fallen overboard and was not
seen The river was dragged for his
body but he made his appearance an
hour later none the worse for a swim
of more than a mile against a swift
current
Heres another A Newcastle lad
who showed his Spartan courage by
hiding from his sick mother three days
the fact that he carried a bullet im
bedded in his neck Fearing it might
alarm her and make her worse he
kept his painful secret until blood poi
son set in and the secret was made
known He will probably die
Turning the page we find a picture
of a dozen sturdy lads who are bend
ing eagerly over bits of cloth If we
look closer we see that the cloth is
made into shirts and these boys made
their shirts themselves under the di
rection of their teachers in the vaca
tion schools made them buttonholes
and all so there will be really no ne
cessity for those boys to get married
so that they may have a wife to do
their mending and sewing for them
Scattered here and there through
the pages that teem with news of the
worlds doings we find if we look
news aout the boys mostly good
news for the average up-to-date Amer
ican boy is a pretty good sort of fel
low after all He is wideawake and
full of ginger and energy and enthusi
asm and all the other characteristics
which make him a pretty good fellow
to know
Yes this would be a pretty lonesome
world if it were not for the boys even
though they do get in the way once
in awhile and have a fashion of mess
ing things up They will get over
these habits soon enough so give
them all the encouragement they de
serve

THE QUADRANT
How the Idea of the Device Came to
Thomas Godfrey
Concerning Thomas Godfrey a fa
mous American mathematician there
is an interesting account in the Lit
erary History of Philadelphia
Thomas Godfrey was a glazier ne
seemed to be one of the most singular
phenomena that ever appeared in the
earned world
One day while at work at his trade
a young girl came to a pump and filled
a pail with water which was left upon
the sidewalk The suns rays were re
flected from Godfreys glass to the pail
of water and then to his eye thus com
pleting a triangle This is said to have
suggested to the glaziers mind the idea
which in 1730 became the basis for the
double reflecting siii quadraiLt
Prior to tli
had been using
lis time English nuirinpvs
DavisVbow
tain their latitude at sea but it could
not be adjusted in a storm f Godfrey
gave the subject careful study taught
himself Latin in order to Fead New
tons Principia and endeavored to
have the value of his invention recog
nized in England While thus engaged
he determined to have the device tested
on a ship bound for the West Indies
In Jamaica the quadrant was exhibit
ed or presented to an English sea
captain Thus the important discovery
came into the possession of nadley a
mathematical instrument maker In
London whose name it usually bears
in spite of the long exertions of influ
ential Americans of the eighteenth
century to have Godfreys claims es
tablished and honored
