"Tired at Three O'clock?" "No Sir! I Use the Monarch"
Cano sugar was produced by the
Chinese at a very remote epoch. In
western countries it was a morel
recent introduction. The Roman
writers l'liny, Varro and Lucian
at the beginning of our era barely
mentioned it. It was then known
by the name of Indian salt and
honey of Asia, Arabia or India. In
1090 crusaders arriving in Syria
discovered sugar cane, which be
came a favorite dainty of the sol
diers. During the following centu
ries the sugar cane was introduced
into Cyprus, the Nile delta, the
north coast of Africa as far a Gi
braltar, Sicily and the kingdom of
Naples. It reached Spain in the
fifteenth century and thence was
carried to Madeira and the Cana
ries. In 1CI4 the French imported
it into Guadeloupe and a little later
into Martinique and Louisiana.
The Portuguese introduced it into
5razil and the Fnglish into Ja
maica. Scientific American.
Looking For Bargain.
A young man who work3 in a
Chestnut street store wa3 invited to
his employer's home for supper last
night. The purpose of the invita
tion was to introduce the young
man to the employer's daughters.
After supper the old man said:
"Yes, I am proud of my daugh
ters and would like to see them
comfortably married, and as I have
made a little money they will not
go penniless to their husbands.
There is Mary, twenty-five years
old and a really good girl. I shull
give her $1,000 when she marries.
Then comes Hose, who won't see
thirty-five again, and I shall give
her $.1,000. And the man who
takes Eljzn, who is forty, will have
$5,000 with her."
The visitor reflected a moment
and then inquired:
"You haven't one about fiftv.
j have you?" Philadelphia Ledger.

appeared like a ghost. e,ivi:i
a single trace that it hid ever ex
isted, not tven nn ato.n "i' a-!.es.
But experiments ul thia b;l were
costly. They were long in yielding'
any scientific result. It was only a
king or a sovereign prince that
could afford to see his jewels vanish
like the gifts of a fairy godmother.'
Another potentate, Francis 1., tried
the quality of a number of valua
ble diamonds in the heat of a .fur
nace and may have felt some grati
fication when he found that they
had disappeared. This was in 17o0,
and about twenty years later scien
tific experimenters burned a magni
ficent diamond in Paris.
A jeweler named LeBlanc now
came forward and denied the pos
sibility of burning n' diamond, even
going so far as to accuse the chem
ist Macquer of fraud in conduct
ing his diamond burning opera
tions. He had often, he asserted,
exposed diamonds to great heat,
with the sole result of increasing
their brilliancy.
A Mr. Streeter had done the
Fame with success, but it seems that
LcUlune only knew half of what
Mr. Streeter knew. When Macquer
demanded that the jeweler inclose
some diamonds in coal in a cruci
blc he rashly assented, and in three
hours they had all disappeared
Then Maillard. who seems to
have had his suspicions of these
operations, nut three diamonds in
an eurthen bowl packed in powder
cd charcoal and exposed them to
intense heat without injury. Next
Lavoisier came forward with his
explanations of the phenomena at
tending the results of these various
experiments. He says that by
shutting out the air diamonds are
preserved in the intense heat of a
furnace, but that the admission of
oxygen, which combines with the
carbon of the diamond, allows it to
burn almost as readily as a piece of
coal.
Roguish Ravens.
The raven of southern Europe is
a bold fellow not unlike his cous
in, the crow. Some notices of the
bird, eiven bv an English traveler
in Corsica, oiler amusing proof ol
this.
A youth whom I employed to car
ry my camera eoulif never look on
ravens with anv outianiniitv, for he
had suffered much from their thiev
ish impudence when sent to the
bush to "Mther firewood. On one
occasion he !ot his dinner, a loa
of bread wrapped in a napkin, al
though he was working cloe to the
spot where be had laid it and ha
turned his back for on!v a minute.
Hut the most unpardonable insult
he bad ever received happened on a
day when be was out gathering
wood. As he was stooping down to
bind a bundle of fogots a raven
suddenly swooped from behind, lift
ed the cap from his head and l!ew
away with it to a lofty crag, from
which she uttered croaks of tri
umph. The cap was suUequently
seen lined with straw and serving
for a nest.

MONARCH
IF typewriters were machines run by mechanical means in
stead of human hands, you would find that, with ashen amount
of power, a Monarch could be run at a higher maintained speed
than other typewriters.
Run by k'girl power," you find that the Monarch is run at
a higher all-day average speed than other typewriters, and
without a "tapering off," from fatigue toward the day's end.
Both these truths are due to the fact that
LIGrflT
TOUCH
lightens the draft, uses "oower more economically. Eliminates
the waste of energy that typifies the heavy-touch machines.
This in turn means increased production per machine and de
creased cost of typewriter work ter folio.
The Monarch Light Touch and the
Monarch Rigid Carriage are exclusive
Monarch features, every other import
ant feature of the modern typewriting
machine, such as Back Space Key, Two
Color Ribbon Shift, Contained Tabu la
toe, etc.,. etc., will also be found on the
Monarch. Let m give you a demon
stration of Mon.i jh Light Touch and
o'.her Monarch advancements.
