upon him
Mr Turner said he I admire
your Carthage so much that I want
to buy it I am told you want 500
guineas for it
Yes said Turner it was 500 guin
eas but today its GOO
Well said Sir Robert I did not
come prepared to give GOO and I must
think it over At the same time it
seems to me that the change is an ex
traordinary piece of business on your
part
Do as you please said Turner
Do as you please
After a few days Sir Robert called
again upon the great painter Mr
Turner he began although I thought
It a very extraordinary thing for you
to raise your price I shall be proud
to buy that picture and I am prepared
to give you the GOO guineas
Ah said Turner It was GOO guin
eas but today its 700
Sir Robert grew angry and Turner
laughed I was only in fun he said
I dont intend to sell the picture at
all It shall be my winding sheet
For years he kept it in his cellar
Then it was brought up and hung in
his gallery where it remained as long
as he lived When he died he left it

LEGAL BLUNDERS
hen Queer Dee
of Divorce Issued by a
Psris Court
Some years ago it is said a legal
blunder of a most extraordinary char
acter was committed iu one of the di
vorce courts in Paris By some misap
prehension on the part of the presid
ing judge whose papers and inmu had
got confused he actually mistouu the
name of an advocate who had been ar
guing a petition for the name of ue
petitioner himself and in granting ud
signing the decree of dissolution of
marriage of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead ot grant
ing the prayed for release of the advo
cates client As the lawyer had no de
sire for separation from his wife and
as there was no process for annullin
an absolute decree for divorce even t
meet such a remarkable case it be
came necessary through this judicial
error for the man of law to remarry
his spouse without delay and this he
did
A somewhat similar error was com
mitted in the English court cf chan
eery There had been a litigation over
some property which was held by one
man and claimed by another of the
same name In evading some order of
the court the holder of the properly

BOOKS IN OLD ROME
Trained Slavs Copyists Turned Them
Out Quick and Cheap
There were in Augustan Rome es
tablished publishing houses which not
only turned out large numbers of
books but inauy editions of them and
at an incredibly small price That
their arrangements were businesslike
may be Inferred from the testimony
of Horace He relates that when an
author failed to please the metropolis
the publishers shipped the entire edi
tion of his works to the provinces and
if he still failed as a writer they made
arrangements to bring them back again
and sell them as paper to the pastry
and spice shops
One great Arm in Rome had over
2000 trained slave copyists and their
work was swift and cheap for Mar
tial writes that they had ready an edi
tion of a thousand copies of his Epi
grams in just one hour to be sold at
10 cents a copy The exceedingly
large reading public which all this in
dicates must have been many years In
growing and one may assume that
Rome had long been a city of readers
Atticus the publisher of Cicero had a
great many modern methods in the
conduct of his business and the fact
that Caesars Commentaries were
very quickly dispatched to the out
posts of civilization shows that the
machinery of distribution was also
well organized Thus we may con
clude that -the advertising and public
ity department was in good shape

Husky Dogs of Labrador
All along the coast at every Eskimo
encampment and about the cabins of
the liveyeres are numbers of husky
dogs In winter these animals pull
the sledges and form the sole means
of travel or communication from set
tlement to settlement During the
summer they are not fed by their
owners but are left to seek their sus
tenance as best they can hence the
hungry brutes range the land near the
coast and add to the problems of Lab
rador as they permit no creature to
live that they can pull down If a
horse were to be turned out to grass
overnight only its bare bones would
be found in the morning Even to hu
man beings they are sometimes dan
gerous when night begins to fall and
on occasion when hard driven by hun
ger they have been known to attack
children in the day Considering they
are hardly ever fed in the summer
one only wonders that there are not
more ill deeds to set to their account

HEAT AND COLD
The Range Between Liquid Helium
and the Arc Light
Have you never wondered on some
terribly cold winter day when the
falling temperature had long since
passed the zero mark if it could pos
sibly be any colder anywhere and then
when summer comes and the mercury
is apparently never going to stop
climbing you cannot imagine how any
thing could be hotter or more uncom
fortable
Fortunately we live in a world where
the temperature seldom exceeds the
limits of say 50 degrees below zero
Fahrenheit and 110 above This
seems a tremendous range of tempera
ture but it is only trivial compared
with that found on every side in na
ture or in the laboratory Why this
1G0 degrees is less than the range
through which a dish of cold water is
heated when you place it on the stove
to boil
A moments thought of some of these
higher and lower temperatures is well
worth while Liquid air at 312 de
grees below zero is cold but liquid
hydrogen at 421 is still colder while
liquid helium at 451 below zero is the
coldest thing we know of Going the
other way lead melts at G20 degrees
above zero Fahrenheit while gold
remains solid up to a bright red heat
or 194G degrees A good furnace tire
r mav get several hundred degrees hot
ter than this Platinum one of the
most refractory of metals melts only
when intensely white hot at a tem
perature of 3230 but even this is 100
degrees or so less than the tempera
ture of the flame on your gas stove
The hotter a body is the more light
it gives so the tungsten lamp filament
which runs at about 4500 degrees
gives a brighter and whiter light than
the carbon filament at 3500 The elec
tric arc gives still more light for a
given amount of current consumed
and generates a temperature not far
from 7200 degrees Fahrenheit This is
the highest temperature we can pro
duce artificially No metal known can
stand this terrible heat and even most
refractory substances such as carbon
are volatilized by it
But while the arc is indeed hot it is
bv no means the highest temperature
I to be found in nature There are the
best of reasons for believing that the
temperature of the sun is some 12000
degrees or more and it is probible
that some of the stars are still hotter
This great heat explains the almost
unbelievable fact found by Langley
that sunlight is 5000 times brighter
than the dazzling stream of molten
metal from a Bessemer converter
New York Tribune
They Both Knew
When the war ended Thomas B
Reed went to California with a vague
plan of settling in that new country
He used to tell with intense delight of
his examination for admission to the
bar of California A young southerner
came before the judge for examination
at the same time The judge asked
the southerner if the legal tender acts
were constitutional and the young
man answered without a moments hes
itation No Then the judge turned
to Reed and asked him the same ques
tion Mr Reed with equal promptness
answered Yes
Very well said the judge you are
both admitted Two men who can
answer that question without hesita
tion ought to be admitted to any bar
Henry Cabot Lodge in Century
Very Simple
A rather simple looking lad halted
before a blacksmiths shop on his way
home from school and eyed the doings
of the proprietor with much interest
The brawny smith dissatisfied with
the boys curiosity held a piece of red
hot iron suddenly under the young
sters nose hoping to make him beat
a hasty retreat
If youll give me half a dollar Ill
lick it said the lad
The smith took from his pocket half
a dollar and held it out
The simple looking youngster took
the coin licked it dropped it in his
pocket and slowly walked away whis
