Th Gcdcn Chair
The seila chair is named after Se
dan the town where it was first used
The earliest mention of it in England
occurs in llSl Early in the following
century the 1 ne of Buckingham
caused much indignation by its use in
Loudon People wore exasperated at
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
ry him Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1G23 three curiously wrought
sedans two of which he gave to the
Duke of Buckingham A few weeks
after their introduction Mnssinger pro
duced his play The Bondman and
in it he thus adverts to the ladies
For their pomp and care belns borne
In triumph on mens shoulders
The reference is doubtless to Buck

The Magnetic Poles
The magnetic poles are not station
ary The northern one is slowly mov

parallel and in the course of three or
four hundred years will probably have
encircled the geographic north pole
and returned to about its present loca

pole follows a corresponding course
about the geographic south pole In
such cities in the United States as
Omaha Sioux City Topeka Galveston

Earliest Use of Mineral Ink
In ancient times India ink made
from lampblack and glue was used
for writing on papyri but inspection
of the earliest vellum or parchment
MSS shows that iron gall inks were
Introduced not later than the ninth
century The reason for the change
was that although a carbon ink is
more permanent it has no penetrating
power and can be sponged from the
vellum whereas the iron ink bites in
to the fibers and resists the destruc
tivo action of both air and light
