Etched—Annual “Cheese Roll-
in." in Small Village.
An old superstition still lingers in
some parts of England, notably Derby-
shiro. and induces people to rise un-
usn..lly early'on “hitsuntido morn
ing in order that they miiy see the
\un rise. for they fmnkiv beltmthnt

brntes an old custom. dating from J58
time of Queen Elizabeth. once in 20
years. The scene of it is the village
rh- Very early on White Monday. hands
of men are stationed at the hymn
of the parish. who demand toll of all
pedestrians. Should they refuse. they
are seized. hoisted on a stout pole. and
carried to the village amidst the
cheers and Jeers of the spectators.
The origin of the “cheese rolling”
which takes place yearly in the quiet
little village of Blrdlip. in the Ohel~
tenham district. is lost, like many
more. in the mists of antiquity. but
local sentiment forbids it dying out. A
substantial round cheese is set rolling
down a steep hill with all the young
and active members of the population
in hot pursuit. Before it can be cap-
tured many of the men are rolling af-
ter, but the cheese evades the ma-
Jorlty of them. and usually‘ falls to
the lot of one of the company who
has managed to keep his feet.
BEAR MOST POWERFUL BEAST
His Physical Strength Can
Be Estimated.
A man rowing docs onethlrd as
much work as an ax plowing.
All ox plowing does it little more
than half the “'nrk of an average cart-
horse hauling a ton of coal.
A camel carrying 500 pounds on its
back is nr-urly equal to two average
horses. while an elephant. which will
bear a loud of half :1 ton or lift a lot:
of teak of the sunn- wvight. is worth
in muscular power rather more thun
three gmd camels.
Th0 linn. usually known as the king
of bensw. is by no means the strongest.
Its stronzih is estimated as that of six
men only. while ihnt of a full-grown
Indian tiger is n third greater.
Neitin-r of those animals is equal in
muscular pmwr to the bear tribe, of
which tho polar nnd the grizzly are
the Sli'tvilzl‘sl‘. A grizzly weighing about
1,000 pounds has lu-a-n soon to carry
a stun-:- weighing 500 pounds up :1
Sim-[- tnnnnlniu~slde for over half a
mile. lis,l~‘ll‘l‘li;_'th is at least twice
that of a lion.
A gorilla i'Hln‘ {wt six inches in
height has iiw sll‘vllglll at" four strong
men. It can bend double a pair/of
12-h0l‘0 gun hat-vols in its paw.

and most powerful of the buffalo

lsingiass.
Islngluss is the dried swimming
bladders. of several \urietics of fish.
The amount of gelatin in isinglass is
from 86 to 93 per cent and even more.
It is prepared by touring the air blad-
der or sound from the hack of the fish,
from which it has been loosened by
striking several blows with a wooden
club. then washing in cold water. The
black outer skin is removed with a
knife. again washed and spread on a
board to dry in the open air. with the
white shiny skin turned outward. To
prevent shrivoling or shrinking the
bladders must be fastened to a drying
board. The best quality of isinglass
‘comes from sounds that are dried in
the sun. After drying the sound is
pgaln mois‘tcncd with warm water and
the interior shiny skin is removed by
hammering or rubbing. Finally it is
rolled between two polished iron roll-
ers. *

Clerical Expedient. ’
The English preacher. Stephen Jenk-
ins. was not a highly educated ‘1‘an
but be had a native wit which often
helped him out of difficulties. One
Sunday while reading as the Scripture
lesson the third chapter of Daniel. he
name to a batch of words that gnu
him trouble. "At what time ye hear
the sound of the comet. flute. harp.
esckbut. psaltery. dulclmer." etc. Now
this list of instruments is npestodeev-
oral times in the chapter. and the see
and time he stumbled through it with
even greater difficulty than the first.
‘_ Before he reached it again, however.
he had. discovered a way of escape. So,
the third time he relieved both him-
self and his listeners by reading with
the utmost gravity. “And the band

We do not yield the friendship. hm

Velocity of Light.
Physicists never tire of efforts to
increase the accuracy of their knowl-
edge of the fundamental facts of
science. A redetcrmlnation of the
velocity of light by the Finest: toothed
wheel method was made at Nice.
'niese experiments were remarkable
on account of the great distance over
which the beam of light employed was
transnltted. Previously such a been
had been caused to travel about fifteen
miles but on this occasion the reflect-
ing mirror was so placed that the total
Mammogram by the been. going
and returning, was fifty-seven miles.
The mean of 1,109 observations gave
for the velocity of
miles a second.
